Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ecological protection technology, and in particular to an ecological gabion with a biological passage. Background Technology

[0002] Bank protection is an engineering measure that involves artificially reinforcing existing coastal slopes to defend against wave and current erosion, as well as groundwater action, and to maintain shoreline stability. Bank protection is typically carried out in estuaries, rivers, lakes, and coastal areas, using reinforcement measures to prevent bank collapse under the influence of wave and current erosion, soil pressure, and groundwater seepage pressure.

[0003] Vertical revetments have the advantages of strong erosion resistance and structural stability, but they block the water-land passage for amphibians to come ashore and have poor ecological performance. Ecological bag revetments have good ecological performance, but their erosion resistance is weak, and due to structural strength limitations, ecological bags cannot be used for revetments with steep slopes. Neither vertical revetments nor ecological bag revetments can achieve both good erosion resistance and good ecological performance. Therefore, this application proposes an ecological gabion with a biological passage. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention proposes an ecological gabion with biological channels, aiming to solve the aforementioned problems.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0006] An ecological gabion with a biological passage includes several gabion cages. Each gabion cage has a partition inside, which divides the interior of the gabion cage into several first compartments and several second compartments. Several first compartments are filled with filling material, and several second compartments are empty. Adjacent second compartments are interconnected to form a habitat space. Several gabion cages are stacked from bottom to top, so that adjacent habitat spaces are interconnected to form a passage.

[0007] Preferably, the gabion cage has a length and width of 500cm-100cm, a width of 500cm-100cm, and a height of 500cm-100cm.

[0008] Preferably, the separator includes a plurality of vertical baffles and a plurality of horizontal baffles, with one side of adjacent vertical baffles connected to each other, and the two sides of the horizontal baffles respectively connected to two adjacent vertical baffles.

[0009] Preferably, the gabion cage includes a gabion and a fixing frame, the fixing frame being connected to the inside of the gabion.

[0010] Preferably, the fixing frame includes an upper frame, a lower frame, and several fixing rods. The upper frame is connected to the top of the gabion, the lower frame is connected to the bottom of the gabion, and fixing rods are connected to the four corners of the lower frame. The free ends of the fixing rods are connected to the corresponding corners of the upper frame.

[0011] Preferably, the crossbar is provided with a groove that cooperates with the fixing rod.

[0012] Preferably, the upper part of the fixing frame has four connecting slots at the four corners, and the lower part of the fixing frame has four connecting rods at the four corners. The connecting rods of the upper gabion cage are inserted into the connecting slots of the lower gabion cage.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] The gabion cages are equipped with dividers that can separate them into multiple first compartments and multiple second compartments. The multiple first compartments are filled with filler material to resist water impact, while the multiple second compartments are left empty. These empty second compartments are connected to form a habitat space for fish to inhabit and seek refuge. By stacking the gabion cages from bottom to top, the habitat spaces of adjacent gabion cages are connected to form a biological passage from water to land. The gabion cages stacked from bottom to top are arranged horizontally to form a revetment, or the gabion cages stacked from bottom to top are combined with other existing gabion cages to form a revetment. The maximum slope of this revetment can reach 90°, saving valuable shoreline space, and has good erosion resistance and good ecological properties, providing an amphibian landing passage and a fish habitat.

[0022] To better understand the technical content of this utility model, specific embodiments are provided below, and the utility model will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] See Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides an ecological gabion with a biological passage, comprising several gabion cages 1, wherein the length and width of each gabion cage 1 are 500cm-100cm, the width is 500cm-100cm, and the height is 500cm-100cm. Each gabion cage 1 has an internal partition 2, which divides the interior of the gabion cage 1 into several first compartments 6 and several second compartments 7. The number of first compartments 6 is the same as the number of second compartments 7. The first compartments 6 are filled with filler 8, which is pebbles or gravel. The second compartments 7 are empty. The number of first compartments 6 can be selected as 4, and the number of second compartments 7 is also 4. Adjacent first compartments 6... The two compartments 7 are interconnected to form a habitat space 9, which can be used by fish or amphibians for habitat and refuge. Several gabion cages 1 are stacked from bottom to top. The gabion cages 1 are stacked in such a way that, counting from bottom to top, the gabion cages 1 in the even-numbered layers are rotated 180° around their central axis and then stacked on the gabion cages 1 below them, so that the adjacent habitat spaces 9 are interconnected to form a passage 10, which allows amphibians to enter the land from the water or return to the water from the land through this passage 10. This has good ecological benefits and does not require amphibians to be exposed, thus having a protection function. The stacked gabion cages 1 can be arranged horizontally to form a bank protection, or can be combined with existing stacked gabion cages 11 horizontally to form a bank protection.

[0025] The partition 2 includes several vertical baffles 3 and several horizontal baffles 4. The sides of adjacent vertical baffles 3 are connected to each other, and the two sides of the horizontal baffles 4 are respectively connected to two adjacent vertical baffles 3. The several vertical baffles 3 and several horizontal baffles 4 cooperate to divide the interior of the gabion cage 1 into several first compartments 6 and several second compartments 7. The vertical baffles 3 can be replaced by vertical mesh plates, and the horizontal baffles 4 can be replaced by horizontal mesh plates.

[0026] The gabion cage 1 includes a gabion 11 and a fixing frame 12. The fixing frame 12 is connected to the inner side of the gabion 11 and serves to support and fix the gabion 11, effectively preventing deformation when the gabion cages 1 are stacked. The fixing frame 12 includes an upper frame 13, a lower frame 14 and several fixing rods 15. The upper frame 13 is connected to the top of the gabion 11 and the lower frame 14 is connected to the bottom of the gabion 11. The fixing rods 15 are connected to the four corners of the lower frame 14 respectively. The free ends of the fixing rods 15 are connected to the corresponding corners of the upper frame 13. To facilitate the installation of the horizontal baffle 4, a groove 5 that cooperates with the fixing rods 15 can be provided on the horizontal baffle 4.

[0027] In use, gabion cages 1 are stacked from bottom to top on the shore. The stacked gabion cages 1 can be arranged horizontally to form a revetment, or they can be combined with other existing gabions 11 to form a revetment. The maximum slope of the revetment can reach 90°, saving valuable shoreline space. The habitat spaces 9 of adjacent gabion cages 1 are connected to form a biological passage 10 from water to land, which makes the revetment both erosion-resistant and ecologically sound, providing an amphibian access passage 10 and a habitat for fish.

[0028] Example 2

[0029] See Figures 5 to 6 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that: the four corners of the upper part of the fixing frame 12 are respectively provided with connecting grooves 16, and the four corners of the lower part of the fixing frame 12 are respectively provided with several connecting rods 17. The connecting rods 17 of the upper gabion cage 1 are inserted into the connecting grooves 16 of the lower gabion cage 1, which facilitates the connection of the upper and lower gabion cages 1 and effectively reduces the displacement of the gabion cage 1 due to water impact.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
