Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of geotechnical engineering, and more particularly, to a reinforcement system for retaining soil. BACKGROUND

[0002] The background section provides information which can be useful for understanding the present application, but is not necessarily prior art.

[0003] In the field of geotechnical engineering, such as roadbed construction and slope greening, a reinforcement system is usually used to retain soil on the roadbed or slope to prevent water and soil loss, thereby reinforcing the roadbed and slope. The reinforcement system usually has a net-like three-dimensional structure formed with a plurality of frame structures. The reinforcement system is usually connected by a plurality of strips in different ways. After the reinforcement system is manufactured, it is usually transported to the construction site in a folded form, and then unfolded and laid out for installation at the construction site. Each frame structure of the reinforcement system forms a corresponding cell for filling and reinforcing the soil. At present, the reinforcement system is mainly laid and installed by hand at the construction site. For a reinforcement system with smaller frame structures, it is difficult for workers to stretch them into place during on-site laying and installation, thereby making it difficult to fully exert the reinforcing effect of the reinforcement system. In the laying and installation process, in order to maintain the tension of the reinforcement system, steel nails are sometimes used to penetrate the underlying structure on which the reinforcement system is laid, which affects the overall stability of the roadbed or slope. For a reinforcement system with larger frame structures, it is easy to lay and install on site, but because the cells formed by the frame structures after being stretched into place are also larger, the soil filled in each cell is more, and each cell bears a larger load, so the reinforcing effect of each cell on the soil is limited.

[0004] Therefore, the design of the existing soil reinforcement system needs to be improved to facilitate laying and installation while achieving better reinforcing effect. SUMMARY

[0005] One object of the present application is to solve at least one of the above problems. One object of the present application is to provide an improved reinforcement design that facilitates laying and installation while achieving better soil retaining and reinforcing effect.

[0047] The following description is exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the invention, its application, or its uses. It should be understood that in all these figures, similar reference numerals indicate the same or similar parts and features. The figures only schematically illustrate the concept and principles of embodiments of the invention and do not necessarily show the specific dimensions and scale of each embodiment. Certain parts of specific figures may be depicted in an exaggerated manner to illustrate relevant details or structures of embodiments of the invention.

[0048] In the description of the embodiments of this utility model, the directional terms related to "up," "down," "left," and "right" are used to describe the positions of the views shown in the accompanying drawings. In practical applications, the positional relationships of "up," "down," "left," and "right" used herein can be defined according to the actual situation, and these relationships can be reversed.

[0049] Figure 1 A perspective view of the reinforcement system 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention after installation in place is shown. Figure 1 As shown, the reinforcement system 1 includes a reinforcement body 10. The reinforcement body 10 includes multiple strips connected to each other at multiple joints to form multiple frame structures 11. At each joint, two or more strips are connected to each other, for example, by any suitable method such as welding, insertion, or bonding. Figure 1 The diagram only schematically illustrates strips L1, L2, and L3 of the reinforcement body 10, and the joint 12. After fabrication, the reinforcement body 10 is typically stored and transported in a folded state. When the reinforcement body 10 is laid and installed on the construction site (e.g., on a slope surface or roadbed surface), the various frame structures of the reinforcement body 10 are unfolded to form filler cells 11. Figure 1 In the example shown, at each joint, two strips are connected to each other to form a quadrilateral frame structure 11. When the reinforcement body 10 is laid and installed in place on the construction site, the frame structure 11 is unfolded to form a square filler cell.

[0050] The reinforcement system 1 also includes multiple reinforcement accessories 20. After the reinforcement body 10 is tensioned, laid and installed in place at the construction site, each reinforcement accessory 20 is installed to the corresponding frame structure 11 of the reinforcement body 10 as needed to cover the corresponding filler cell. Figure 2A part of the reinforcement system 1 is shown, showing the reinforcement accessories 20 overlaid on a frame structure 11 of the reinforcement body 10, Figure 3 is shown in an exploded view. The frame structure 11 comprises a plurality of strip segments 13 between adjacent junctions 12. The junctions 12 can be welded junctions formed by welding adjacent strips to each other, or can also be junctions formed by splicing, bonding or other means of coupling. In the drawings, the junctions 12 are represented by cylinders for illustration only and not by way of limitation. Figure 2

[0051] When the reinforcement body 10 is tensioned and laid in place, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the frame structure 11 is unfolded to form square filler cells 14. However, the present application is not limited thereto, and in other examples according to the present application, the shape of the plurality of filler cells 14 formed after the reinforcement body 10 is tensioned and laid in place can also be other suitable arbitrary shapes, for example, triangular, hexagonal, etc.

[0052] ​The reinforcement accessory 20 comprises a reinforcement plate 21. The reinforcement plate 21 is substantially square in shape, which is substantially the same as the shape of the filler cell 14 formed by the corresponding frame structure 11. The reinforcement plate 21 is coupled with the joint 12 of the frame structure 11 respectively through a coupling piece 22 located at a corner of the reinforcement plate 21 to form a coupling portion 23. In the drawings, the coupling piece 22 is shown only schematically and non-restrictively, similar to the joint 12. The coupling piece 22 can be a corner of the surface of the reinforcement plate 22 opposite to the frame structure 11, without protruding from the reinforcement plate 21. In one example, the reinforcement plate 21 is coupled with the joint 12 of the frame structure 11 through welding. However, the utility model is not limited thereto. In other examples according to the utility model, the reinforcement plate 21 can be coupled with the joint 12 of the frame structure 11 through other suitable and arbitrary ways, for example, pasting. The reinforcement plate 21 can be a single-layer plate, or also can be a multi-layer plate. One or more channels can be provided in the reinforcement plate 21, which can be formed in the form of a grid, etc., and the density and direction of the channels can be designed according to actual needs. In the example shown in the drawings, the reinforcement plate 21 is formed as a flat plate, with a flat surface. However, the utility model is not limited thereto. In other examples according to the utility model, the reinforcement plate 21 can also be designed to have a non-planar surface. For example, the reinforcement plate 21 can be formed as an arc-shaped plate or a wave-shaped plate according to the needs of the external shape design or decoration. Preferably, the reinforcement plate 21 can be provided with a plurality of through holes, to facilitate the ventilation of the filler cell 14, and in the case that plants are planted in the filler cell 14, the plants can grow through the through holes on the reinforcement plate 21 to provide a decorative effect. Also, preferably, the strip segment 13 of the frame structure 11 is also provided with a plurality of through holes, so that the filler cells of the reinforcement system 1 are communicated with each other, to facilitate the flow of water between the filler cells.

[0053] On the one hand, the installation of the reinforcing accessory 20 to the frame structure 11 can increase the strength of the frame structure 11, thereby enhancing the retaining effect of the soil filled in the filler cell 14 formed by the frame structure 11, and achieving the soil reinforcement of the construction site. On the other hand, the installation of the reinforcing accessory 20 on the frame structure 11 to cover the filler cell 14 can better retain the soil filled in the filler cell 14, and prevent the soil from being lost. Therefore, when reinforcing the construction site, the reinforcing body 10 with a frame structure of larger size can be used, so that the reinforcing body 10 is easily laid and installed on site at the construction site, and then, through the use of the reinforcing accessory 20, the strength of the frame structure 11 with a larger size can be enhanced, and the retaining effect of the soil in the filler cell 14 formed by the frame structure 11 can be enhanced, and the reinforcement of the construction site can be achieved. Therefore, the reinforcing system 1 according to the present application can facilitate the laying and installation of the reinforcing body 10, and can also improve the soil retaining effect and the reinforcing effect. In addition, the reinforcing accessory 20 covers the soil in the filler cell 14, thereby being able to provide an aesthetic effect. In Figure 1 In the example shown, the reinforcing accessory 20 is installed on each filler cell of the reinforcing body 10, so that the adjacent reinforcing accessories 20 are connected to each other to form a whole, which not only enhances the soil retaining and reinforcing effect, but also makes the construction site have a neat and beautiful visual effect. It should be noted that the reinforcing accessory 20 can be installed on the corresponding frame structure 11 as needed, and it is not necessary to install the reinforcing accessory 20 on each frame structure 11 of the reinforcing body 10.

[0054] Figure 4 A perspective view of the reinforcing system 1A according to the second embodiment of the present application after being laid and installed is shown. Figure 4 The reinforcing system 1A shown has a similar structure to the reinforcing system 1 according to the first embodiment of the present application, and the difference is only in the design and installation of the reinforcing accessory. In the drawings, the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals, and will not be repeated.

[0055] As Figure 4 shown, the reinforcing system 1A includes a reinforcing body 10. Adjacent strips (for example, the strips L1 and L2 shown in the figure) are connected to each other at the joint 12 to form a plurality of frame structures 11. The reinforcing system 1A further includes a plurality of reinforcing accessories 20A installed to the frame structures 11. The reinforcing accessory 20A can be installed in each frame structure of the reinforcing body 10 as needed. Figure 5 A perspective view of a part of the reinforcing system 1A shown in Figure 4 Fig. 2 shows a reinforcing accessory 20A installed to one frame structure 11 of the reinforcing body 10, Figure 6 showsFigure 5 exploded view.

[0056] When the reinforcing body 10 is tensioned and laid in place, the reinforcing accessory 20A is installed to the frame structure 11 within the filler cell 14 to divide the filler cell 14 into multiple compartments. As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 The reinforcing accessory 20A is formed as a ring member with a closed shape, including a first ring member 211 and a second ring member 215 connected to each other. The reinforcing accessory 20A is coupled to the strip segment 13 of the frame structure 11. In installing the reinforcing accessory 20A, the corner 212 of the first ring member 211 and the corner 218 of the second ring member 215 can be aligned with two opposite corners of the frame structure 11 respectively, and the corners 213 and 214 of the first ring member 211 and the corners 216 and 217 of the second ring member 215 are coupled to the corresponding strip segment 13 of the frame structure 11 respectively using the coupling member 22A to form the coupling portion 23A and divide the filler cell 14 into four compartments 141-144. It should be noted that the installation of the reinforcing accessory 20A is not limited to the above-mentioned manner, and the reinforcing accessory 20A can be installed in any other suitable manner. For example, in the field installation, in order to facilitate the coupling of the reinforcing accessory 20A to the corresponding strip segment 13 of the frame structure 11, the corners 213 and 214 of the first ring member 211 and the corners 216 and 217 of the second ring member 215 can be cut off first, and then the corners 213 and 214 of the first ring member 211 and the corners 216 and 217 of the second ring member 215 are coupled to the corresponding strip segment 13 of the frame structure 11 respectively, which still can achieve similar effects as the above-mentioned manner. In the example shown in the figure, the first ring member 211 and the second ring member 212 have the same shape, and correspondingly, the four compartments 141-144 divided also have the same shape. However, the present application is not limited thereto. In other examples according to the present application, the first ring member 211 and the second ring member 212 can have different shapes, and correspondingly, the compartments 141-144 divided can also have different shapes. Preferably, the strip segment 13 and / or the reinforcing accessory 20A are provided with multiple through-holes, so that the compartments of the reinforcing system are in communication with each other to facilitate the flow of moisture between the compartments.

[0057] In the example shown in Figures 4 to 6 , at the coupling portion 23A, the reinforcing accessory 20A is fixed to the frame structure 11 by the coupling member 22A with a clamping groove. However, the present application is not limited thereto, and in other examples according to the present application, the reinforcing accessory 20A can be coupled to the strip segment 13 of the frame structure 11 by other suitable means (e.g., insertion, welding or bonding).

[0058] By using the reinforcing accessories 20A, the larger filler cell 14 can be divided into multiple smaller cells 141-144, and the soil is kept in each cell 141-144 respectively, without causing large load to each part of the frame structure 11, achieving better soil keeping effect, so as to reinforce the construction site.

[0059] The reinforcing system 1A according to the second embodiment of the present application can achieve similar beneficial technical effects as the reinforcing system 1 according to the first embodiment of the present application, can facilitate the laying and installation of the reinforcing body 10, and can further improve the soil keeping effect and the reinforcing effect.

[0060] Figure 7 A plan view of the reinforcing system 1B according to the third embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 7 The reinforcing system 1B shown has similar structure as the reinforcing system 1A according to the second embodiment of the present application, and the difference is only in the design and installation of the reinforcing accessories. In the drawings, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and will not be described repeatedly.

[0061] As shown in Figure 7 The reinforcing system 1B includes the reinforcing body 10. Adjacent strips are connected to each other at the joints 12 to form multiple frame structures 11. The reinforcing system 1B further includes multiple reinforcing accessories 20B installed to the frame structures 11. Figure 8 A plan view of a part of the reinforcing system 1B shown in Figure 7 shows the reinforcing accessories 20B installed to one frame structure 11 of the reinforcing body 10. As shown in Figure 8 The reinforcing accessories 20B are formed by two strips being angularly cross-linked, and are connected to the strip segments 13 of the frame structure 11 at the linking portions 23B to divide the filler cell formed by the frame structure 11 into cells 141-144. According to the positions at which the first strip 24 and the second strip 25 of the reinforcing accessories 20B are connected to each other, and the positions at which each is connected to the strip segments 13 of the frame structure 11, the divided cells 141-144 have the same or different shapes. In the example shown in the drawings, the reinforcing accessories 20B are formed in cross shape by the first strip 24 and the second strip 25 being perpendicularly connected to each other at the midpoints of the strips, and the end portions of the first strip 24 and the second strip 25 are connected to the middle portions of the strip segments 13 of the frame structure 11 respectively to form the linking portions 23B, and divide the filler cell formed by the frame structure 11 into cells 141-144 with the same shape. Preferably, at least one of the strip segments 13, the first strip 24 and the second strip 25 of the reinforcing accessories 20B is provided with multiple through holes to facilitate the flow of water between the cells.

[0062] Figure 9 A plan view of a part of the reinforcing system 1B shown inFigure 8 an enlarged view of one of the coupling portions 23B, showing the coupling between one end of the first strip 24 and the strip segment 13 of the frame structure 11, Figure 10 showing Figure 9 an exploded view. Other coupling portions 23B have similar structures. As shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10 at the coupling portion 23B, one end of the first strip 24 and the strip segment 13 of the frame structure 11 are insertedly coupled to each other by the coupling piece 22B. As best shown in Figure 10 the coupling piece 22B comprises a first coupling piece 221, a second coupling piece 22B and two pins 223. The first coupling piece 221 and the second coupling piece 222 have matching structures with each other. In the coupling of the reinforcing accessory 20B and the frame structure 11, first, the end of the first strip 24 of the reinforcing accessory 20B is aligned with the strip segment 13 of the frame structure 11, and a plurality of slits T1, T2 are formed on the strip segment 13 and the end of the first strip 24 respectively, then the first coupling piece 221 and the second coupling piece 222 are aligned with the slits T1, T2 from both sides respectively to press the strip segment 13 and the first strip 24 towards each other, so as to sandwich the strip segment 13 and the first strip 24 between the first coupling piece 221 and the second coupling piece 222, then the pins 223 are inserted into the insertion holes 2211 of the first coupling piece 221 and the insertion holes 2221 of the second coupling piece 222 respectively to fix the first coupling piece 221 and the second coupling piece 222 to each other, so as to realize the coupling of the strip segment 13 and the first strip 24, and form the coupling portion 23B.

[0063] as shown in Figure 10As shown, the second coupling member 222 is formed with five portions 2222-2226 staggered with each other, each portion is formed with an S-shaped profile, and the through holes are formed in the upper and lower portions in a staggered manner. The interval between the slits T1, T2 formed on the end of the strip segment 13 and the first strip 24 corresponds to the height of each portion. Accordingly, the first coupling member 221 also has five portions matched with the second coupling member 222. When the first coupling member 221 and the second coupling member 222 align the slits T1, T2 from both sides to sandwich the strip segment 13 and the first strip 24 therebetween, the portions of the strip segment 13 between adjacent slits T1 and the corresponding portions of the first strip 24 between adjacent slits T2 are squeezed to open each slit T1 on the strip segment 13 and each slit T2 on the first strip 24, thereby forming a space aligned with the through holes 2211, 2221 for the insertion of the pin 223. Through the coupling portion 23 in the form as described above, a firm coupling can be formed between the first strip 24 of the reinforcing accessory 20B and the corresponding strip segment 13 of the frame structure 11, providing a higher coupling strength, so that the installation can be completed without the aid of fasteners penetrating the underlying paving layer during the on-site paving installation, and thus the underlying paving layer of the reinforcing system 1A is not damaged.

[0064] In the example shown in the figure, the coupling portion 23B in the form described above is formed between the reinforcing accessory 20B and the strip segment 13 of the frame structure 11. It should be noted that the coupling portion 23B in the form described above can also be formed at other joints of the reinforcing system 1B. For example, the joints 12 between adjacent strips of the reinforcing body 10 can also be in the form of the coupling portion 23B described above. For another example, the coupling between the first strip 24 and the second strip 25 of the reinforcing accessory 20B can also be in the form of the coupling portion 23B described above.

[0065] The reinforcing system 1B according to the third embodiment of the present application can achieve similar beneficial technical effects as the reinforcing system 1A according to the second embodiment of the present application, can facilitate the paving installation of the reinforcing body 10, and can also improve the soil retaining effect and the reinforcing effect.

[0066] Figure 11 A schematic view of an application of the reinforcing system 1B shown in Figure 7 A schematic view of an application of the reinforcing system 1B shown in Figure 11As shown in the figure, the reinforcing system 1B is laid and installed on the slope surface M1 of the slope M. In the example shown in the figure, the frame structure 11 of the reinforcing body 10 of the reinforcing system 1B forms a filler cell of a square with a side length of 400 mm, and by using the reinforcing accessory 20B, the filler cell of a square with a side length of 400 mm is divided into a square cell with a side length of 200 mm, so that the reinforcing system 1B can realize the retaining and reinforcing effect of the filler cell of a square with a side length of 200 mm. And compared with the integral reinforcing system installed by overall tensioning laying and having a frame structure with a side length of 200 mm, the reinforcing body 10B of the reinforcing system 1B according to the utility model can be easily laid and installed. On the other hand, especially in the application scene with a large slope angle, when the size of the frame structure is small, the frame structure cannot accommodate the entire foot of the construction personnel, so that the construction personnel need to stand on their toes and partially step into the frame structure, which has the risk of falling due to unstable standing. Unlike this, the frame structure 11 of the reinforcing system 1B according to the utility model has a large size and can fully accommodate the feet of the construction personnel, so that during the laying process, the construction personnel can easily and stably stand on their feet in the frame structure 11 of the reinforcing system 1B to perform the laying operation, thereby improving the construction safety. On the other hand, in the reinforcing system 1B according to the utility model, the reinforcing accessory 20B can be installed to the corresponding frame structure as needed, targeted reinforcement can be implemented, thereby providing operational flexibility.

[0067] In Figures 7 to 11 In the embodiment shown in the figure, the reinforcing accessory 20B is a reinforcing accessory formed in a cross shape by two strips being connected at an angle. However, the utility model is not limited thereto. The reinforcing accessory can adopt other suitable designs and installations.

[0068] Figure 12 A plan view of a part of a reinforcing system according to a fourth embodiment of the utility model is shown, showing a reinforcing accessory 20C connected to one frame structure 11 of the reinforcing body of the reinforcing system. The reinforcing system according to the fourth embodiment of the utility model has a similar structure to the reinforcing system 1B according to the third embodiment of the utility model, and the only difference is the design and installation of the reinforcing accessory 20C. In the figure, the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description will not be repeated.

[0069] As Figure 12 shown, the reinforcing accessory 20C is formed by a single strip, and the two ends of the reinforcing accessory 20C are respectively coupled to the strip segment 13 of the frame structure 11, forming a coupling portion 23C and dividing the filler cell formed by the frame structure 11 into two cells 141-142. At each coupling portion 23C, the coupling between the reinforcing accessory 20C and the strip segment 13 can be realized in any suitable manner, for example, the coupling can be realized byFigures 7 to 11 The connecting part 23B shown can be in a similar manner, or other suitable methods can also be used.

[0070] The reinforcement system according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention can achieve similar beneficial technical effects as the reinforcement system 1B according to the third embodiment of the present invention, which can facilitate the laying and installation of the reinforcement body 10, and can also improve the soil retention effect and reinforcement effect.

[0071] Figure 13 A plan view of a portion of a reinforcement system according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention is shown, illustrating a reinforcement attachment 20D of a frame structure 11 connected to the reinforcement body of the reinforcement system. (See attached diagram.) Figure 13 As shown, the reinforcing attachment 20D is formed as a ring with a closed shape. The reinforcing attachment 20D is connected to the four strip segments 13 of the frame structure 11 to form a connecting part 23D, and divides the filler cell formed by the frame structure 11 into five compartments, namely, a generally quadrilateral compartment in the middle and four triangular compartments at the corners of the frame structure 11.

[0072] The reinforcement system according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention can achieve similar beneficial technical effects as the reinforcement system according to other embodiments of the present invention.
