[0026] Patent publication number CN220619668U discloses a reflective prefabricated curbstone for easy wiring, comprising a curbstone body, several low-voltage conduits, multiple high-voltage conduits, and a reflective coating. The curbstone body has two opposing connecting surfaces, as well as opposing facing and back surfaces. When multiple reflective prefabricated curbstones are laid, the facing surface of the curbstone body faces the road, and the connecting surfaces of adjacent curbstone bodies are arranged opposite each other. Several low-voltage conduits are installed inside the curbstone body, with both ends of the conduits passing through the two connecting surfaces of the curbstone body, respectively. Multiple high-voltage conduits are also installed inside the curbstone body, with both ends of the high-voltage conduits passing through the two connecting surfaces of the curbstone body, respectively. The reflective coating is applied to the facing surface of the curbstone body. The reflective prefabricated curbstone also includes a mortar leveling layer, which is located at the bottom of the curbstone body. The curbstone body has a wiring inspection hole on the back side of the road surface. Several low-voltage and multiple high-voltage conduits pass through this hole. The low-voltage conduits have low-voltage inspection ports connected to the inspection hole, and the high-voltage conduits have high-voltage inspection ports connected to the inspection hole. The reflective precast curbstone also includes a protective component, which is located inside the wiring inspection hole and can completely seal it. The protective component includes an inner threaded ring, a limiting ring, a sealing disc, and a rotating plate. The inner threaded ring is located inside the inspection hole, the limiting ring is fixed to the inner wall of the inner threaded ring and located near the facing end of the inner wall, the sealing disc is screwed to the inner threaded ring and engaged with the limiting ring, and the rotating plate is fixed to the side of the sealing disc facing away from the facing road surface.

Simultaneously, it achieves separation of high and low voltage, preventing signal interference and facilitating subsequent wiring and maintenance. It saves construction materials, labor, and construction time, solving the problem of traditional curbstones having a limited function and failing to facilitate roadside pipe laying for intelligent transportation and lighting projects.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] Reference Figures 1-4 This utility model discloses a UHPC high-performance concrete hollow curbstone for cable laying, including several curbstones set between the sidewalk and the road 3. Several manholes 4 are set on the sidewalk. The curbstone includes a support part, and a U-shaped block 1 is fitted on the support part. The U-shaped block 1 is made of UHPC material. The support part includes several supports 2. Several wire holes 22 for placing cables are opened in the supports 2. A wire groove 12 for threading the wire is opened on the bottom side of the U-shaped block 1 facing the manhole 4. The wire groove 12 is connected to the gap between two adjacent supports 2.

[0031] Handhole 4 can be installed not only on sidewalks, but also in green belts or medians.

[0032] Curbstones are marker stones placed between roads and sidewalks; the functions of curbstones are as follows:

[0033] Separation and protection: Curbs can separate the road surface from other areas such as sidewalks and green belts, restricting vehicles to travel only in the lane, thereby separating pedestrians from vehicles, protecting the road edge from vehicle damage and erosion, and also guiding the line of sight, improving the safety and aesthetics of the road.

[0034] Drainage function: Curbs can serve as part of a drainage system, helping to remove rainwater from the road surface. In some designs, drainage holes or channels are provided on the bottom or sides of the curb, allowing rainwater to flow smoothly into storm drains or drainage pipes, preventing water accumulation on the road surface.

[0035] Slope stabilization: In some highways, roads and other places where slopes need to be built, curb stones can be used to stabilize road slopes, prevent the collapse and loss of earthwork, and at the same time provide a certain visual effect and beautify the road environment.

[0036] Manholes (4) are small shafts used in building or municipal engineering projects to facilitate cable laying. They are typically constructed of cement bricks, though resin-concrete manholes are also available, making them relatively lightweight. They consist of a manhole body and a cover. The manhole body is generally square or round, and the cover can be opened for easy access. Manholes (4) not only facilitate cable laying, making underground cable arrangements more organized and safer, but also provide convenient working pits for laying outdoor pipelines such as water, electricity, heating, and ventilation systems, as well as for the installation and maintenance of valves and other equipment.

[0037] UHPC high-performance concrete, also known as ultra-high performance concrete, is a special engineering material with ultra-high strength, high toughness, and high durability.

[0038] Performance characteristics of UHPC high-performance concrete:

[0039] Mechanical properties: The compressive strength of UHPC can typically reach over 150 MPa, far exceeding that of ordinary concrete. Its tensile strength is also significantly improved. By adding steel fibers or synthetic fibers, its tensile strength and toughness can be further enhanced, reducing the risk of brittle fracture.

[0040] Durability: It has a dense microstructure and its impermeability, freeze-thaw resistance and chemical erosion resistance are all superior to ordinary concrete. It can maintain stable performance in harsh environments for a long time and extend the service life of the structure.

[0041] Workability: It has good fluidity, is easy to cast and mold, hardens quickly, has high self-compacting properties, and can achieve high density without vibration, thus improving construction efficiency.

[0042] This utility model effectively protects the cable by installing it inside the cable hole 22, thus avoiding the impact of tree roots on the cable and improving the utilization efficiency of underground space. Furthermore, by installing the U-shaped block 1 on the support 2, it effectively prevents rainwater from entering the cable through the gaps and soaking it, thereby improving the cable's service life. Additionally, by using UHPC high-performance concrete material for the U-shaped block 1, the service life of the curbstone is effectively improved.

[0043] The design was further optimized by adding a rounded corner 11 to the top of the side of the U-shaped block 1 facing the road 3. The rounded corner 11 effectively improves both the safety of passage and the aesthetics of the appearance.

[0044] The design was further optimized so that the cable tray 12 is connected to the manhole 4 through the cable hole 6. This allows the connecting wire to the street light to pass through the gap between the cable hole 6, the cable tray 12, and the adjacent support 2 in sequence to connect with the cable.

[0045] The plan was further optimized, and the threading hole 6 was opened on the inner wall of the handhole well 4.

[0046] The end of the street light conduit 5 furthest from the street light extends into the manhole 4, allowing the street light cable to be effectively connected to the connecting wire within the manhole 4.

[0047] To further optimize the design, several slots 13 are provided on the bottom of both sides of the U-shaped block 1. The slots 13 are detachably connected to the card blocks 21, and the card blocks 21 are fixedly connected to the support 2.

[0048] The U-shaped block 1 is installed into the slot 13 by the card block 21, so that the U-shaped block 1 can effectively cover the support 2.

[0049] The design was further optimized, with the locking block 21 and the support 2 integrally molded. This effectively improved the load-bearing capacity of the locking block 21 and the support 2.

[0050] In a further optimized design, the cable tray 12 is positioned between two adjacent slots 13 on the same side of the U-shaped block 1. This allows the connecting wire to be effectively connected to the cable.

[0051] The design was further optimized by creating an outer arc on the top surface of support 2 and an inner arc on the top of the U-shaped block 1, with the outer and inner arcs fitting together. This effectively increases the contact area, allowing the U-shaped block 1 to be stably installed on support 2.

[0052] To further optimize the design, a square hole 23 is provided at the bottom of the support 2. The square hole 23 allows for effective drainage.

[0053] To prevent water from flowing directly onto the cable at the joint between two adjacent U-shaped blocks 1, during actual construction, the length of the support 2 between two adjacent U-shaped blocks 1 is equal to the sum of the lengths of the two slots 13 on opposite sides of the two adjacent U-shaped blocks 1. This ensures that the joint between two adjacent U-shaped blocks 1 is on the same support 2, effectively preventing water from flowing directly onto the cable and extending the cable's service life.

[0054] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0055] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present utility model by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
