Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of urban municipal greening technology, specifically relating to a stepped green space structure that enhances sponge city function. Background Technology
[0002] Utilizing landscapes to retain and purify rainwater, acting as a "sponge," is an effective approach to urban stormwater management, beyond conventional municipal engineering. Urban green spaces are natural sponges, efficiently absorbing, storing, purifying, and reusing rainwater through vegetated soil and surface water. This plays an irreplaceable role in maintaining urban hydrological balance, mitigating urban flooding, and improving the quality of the urban ecological environment. Topographical design is crucial in urban greening. However, some parks fail to adequately consider slope when piling soil, resulting in overly steep terrain. This negatively impacts visitor experience and safety while exacerbating soil erosion. Traditional methods such as turfing and planting vegetation are commonly used to prevent soil erosion. While these measures have some effect, they also have limitations. Although turf and vegetation effectively enhance soil stability, their protective effect is often significantly reduced under extreme weather conditions, such as torrential rains or strong winds. In addition, the maintenance costs of these greening measures should not be underestimated, requiring a large investment of manpower and resources for pruning, irrigation and fertilization.
[0003] Therefore, we urgently need to explore more efficient, environmentally friendly and economical soil and water conservation strategies to comprehensively enhance the ecological function and landscape value of urban green spaces. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The main purpose of this application is to provide a stepped green space structure that enhances the function of a sponge city, so as to combine the stepped terrain creation method with the sponge city green space to purify and store rainwater and achieve the purpose of soil and water conservation.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A stepped green space structure to enhance sponge city function includes a stepped green space body, wherein the stepped green space body includes several ecological retention facility units, and each of the ecological retention facility units includes, in the horizontal direction, a wetland purification and storage structure, a landscape planting area and a retaining structure.
[0007] The wetland purification and storage structure includes a retention pond, gravel filler material laid in the retention pond, and water-tolerant plants planted in the gravel filler material. It purifies particulate matter and pollutants in rainwater runoff. Perforated drainage pipes are provided on the side slopes of the retention pond.
[0008] Preferably, the landscape planting area is covered with landscape plants.
[0009] Preferably, the perforated drainage pipe is located near the landscape planting area to prevent rainwater from stagnating too deeply and affecting the root growth of landscape plants.
[0010] Preferably, the perforated drainage pipe is located in the upper part of the side slope of the retention pond, where water is stored at the bottom of the stepped terrain, and can provide moisture for the growth of landscape plants through soil infiltration.
[0011] Preferably, the retaining structure is a precast slope toe protection block.
[0012] Preferredly, the precast slope protection blocks are made of concrete, masonry, or wooden piles to prevent landslides.
[0013] Preferably, the precast slope toe protection block has an L-shaped cross-section, and the horizontal portion of the precast slope toe protection block extends below the landscape planting area. When subjected to lateral pressure, it can more effectively disperse and resist these pressures, thereby protecting the slope toe from damage and reducing soil erosion.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] 1. The stepped terrain in this application changes the direction of rainwater runoff and reduces soil erosion.
[0016] 2. By using gravel filler and water-tolerant plants planted in the gravel filler, particulate matter and pollutants in rainwater runoff are purified, enabling rainwater to be reused after purification and reducing the cost of green space maintenance.
[0017] 3. The structure in this application is not limited by the slope of the soil mound, and the number of ecological retention facility units can be designed according to the slope of the soil mound. The overall structure enriches the landscape layers and improves the sponge function of green space. Attached Figure Description
