[0025] In order to make the technical personnel in the art better understand the technical scheme of the utility model, the utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings.

[0026] As Figures 1-4 shown, a U-shaped ecological culvert for slope protection includes a body 1, which is centrally provided with a protruding part 11 at the top, and is provided with a frame groove 12 at the bottom for embedding the protruding part 11, and the protruding part 11 is embedded in the frame groove 12 to form a closed special-shaped groove 100;

[0027] The body 1 is wedge-shaped, and the thickness of the body 1 decreases from the protruding part 11 towards the bottom;

[0028] The back of the body 1 is provided with a connecting groove 2 arranged in a linear array on both sides of the frame groove 12, and the connecting grooves 2 on the adjacent side of the two bodies 1 after edge splicing are in communication one by one.

[0029] The back of the body 1 is also provided with a series groove 3 for series communication of the plurality of connecting grooves 2.

[0030] Specifically, the body 1 in the above embodiment is combined along Figure 1 the vertical and horizontal directions shown in the figure, wherein:

[0031] In the vertical combination, in the adjacent two bodies 1, the protruding part 11 of the lower body 1 is embedded in the frame groove 12 port of the upper body 1, thereby forming a closed special-shaped groove 100, and the planting of trees or shrubs can be carried out here.

[0032] In the horizontal combination, in the adjacent two bodies 1, the boss 14 of the second side of one of the bodies 1 is covered on the misaligned table 13 of the first side of the other body 1, and then combined in turn.

[0033] In the above technology, the body 1 with the wedge structure is higher on the side with the convex part 11 than the bottom of the body 1 when laid on the slope, thereby forming an intercepting structure, and the two bodies 1 combined vertically form a closed special-shaped groove 100 due to the convex part 11 embedded in the frame groove 12, and the trees or shrubs end on the exposed slope surface of the special-shaped groove 100. With the growth of the plant roots, part of the roots grow upwards and enter the connecting groove 2 and the series groove 3, thereby combining the body 1 with the roots of the plants, and further increasing the slope protection capacity.

[0034] As a further provided embodiment of the utility model, in combination with Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the back of the convex part 11 is provided with a conical protruding piece 4, and the side of the conical protruding piece 4 connected with the top of the body 1 is a plane. The thickness of the conical protruding piece 4 is twice the thickness of the top of the body 1, and when laying the body 1, the conical protruding piece 4 is tapered into the soil layer of the slope by a pressing tool such as a rubber hammer.

[0035] Further, in combination with Figure 1 It can be seen that the conical protruding piece 4 is divided into a narrow end and a wide end according to the structure, and the wide end is the convex part 11, and the narrow end is fixedly provided with a rectangular tenon 41 on the cross section. Therefore, when tapered into the soil layer of the slope, the rectangular tenon 41 plays a role of digging to facilitate the penetration into the soil layer of the slope.

[0036] As a further provided embodiment of the utility model, in combination with Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the two connecting grooves 2 of the two bodies 1 connected after lateral splicing are V-shaped, and the top of the V-shaped is towards the convex part 11. Therefore, the connecting grooves 2 and the series grooves 3 on the back of the multiple bodies 1 combined in the transverse direction are in a mutually connected relationship, facilitating the spread of the plant roots and increasing the integrity of the multiple bodies 1 combined in the transverse direction.

[0037] It should be noted that the body 1 in the above embodiment is a concrete prefabricated part or an injection molded part.

[0038] The above only describes certain exemplary embodiments of the utility model by way of illustration, and it is self-evident that those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the utility model.
