Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of low-impact development technology of sponge cities, specifically, it relates to a recessed green space structure. Background Technology

[0002] The increasing proportion of impervious urban areas has led to a surge in peak stormwater runoff, exacerbating the risks of non-point source pollution loads and combined sewer overflows. This makes traditional drainage systems ill-suited to cope with urban flooding caused by extreme weather events, while also resulting in significant losses of urban rainwater resources. The "sponge city" concept, by simulating the natural hydrological cycle, constructs a distributed stormwater management system centered on "infiltration, retention, storage, purification, utilization, and drainage." Sunken green spaces serve as key micro-units, and runoff control can be achieved through water storage layer design.

[0003] However, existing sunken green spaces generally suffer from the following defects in their protection systems: the shear strength of the single-layer HDPE geomembrane in traditional sunken green spaces is less than 1.5MPa at the joints, making them prone to cracking under soil freeze-thaw cycles; at the same time, ordinary geotextiles, due to their excessive porosity, cause the loss of fine particles, which easily leads to a rapid decline in impermeability, and the resulting foundation erosion has become one of the main causes of road collapse; moreover, the existing surface covering materials for sunken green spaces, such as gravel or bare soil, have a single function, only possessing permeability and lacking water retention, weed suppression, and ecological restoration capabilities.

[0004] Based on this, the present invention provides a recessed green space structure to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the main purpose of this utility model is to provide a sunken green space structure to solve the problems of traditional sunken green spaces, such as soil cracking under the action of freeze-thaw cycles, rapid decline in the impermeability of geotextiles, and lack of water retention, weed suppression and ecological restoration capabilities.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0007] A recessed green space structure includes a ground surface with a recessed area on the surface. The recessed area is filled with a recessed green space body, and an overflow well is provided through the top of the recessed green space body. The top of the overflow well is fitted with an overflow cover with a strip-shaped drainage hole. Blind pipes are symmetrically connected to the two side walls of the overflow well near the bottom. The blind pipes penetrate the recessed green space body and extend to an external drainage system at their top ends.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, a gravel layer and a fence are arranged sequentially from the inside to the outside around the overflow well. The gravel layer is located at the junction covering the overflow well and the sunken green space, and the fence is located outside the gravel layer.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the grid spacing of the fence is ≤20mm.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the gravel layer includes a first gravel layer and a second gravel layer, with the second gravel layer disposed on top of the first gravel layer. The first gravel layer consists of gravel of 20-40 mm in size, and the second gravel layer consists of pebbles of 5-10 mm in size.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, an anchor rod is also provided at the bottom end of the fence, and the lower end of the anchor rod is inserted into the top of the recessed green space body.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the upper surface of the recessed green space body has an inverted trapezoidal groove structure, with guide slopes on both sides and a collection platform in the middle, and the overflow well is located at the middle collection platform.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the sunken green space body includes a compacted soil base and a planting soil layer, the planting soil layer is laid on the upper side of the compacted soil base, and a covering layer is laid on the planting soil layer, and an impermeable layer is laid between the lower side of the compacted soil base and the depression.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, a permeable geotextile is also laid between the compacted soil base and the planting soil layer to form an isolation interface.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the covering layer includes a ceramsite drainage layer and an ecological weed-suppressing fabric layer, with the ceramsite drainage layer located below the ecological weed-suppressing fabric layer.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the impermeable layer comprises, from top to bottom, geotextile one, HDPE geomembrane and geotextile two.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a recessed green space structure, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. By laying an impermeable layer, rainwater infiltration can be effectively blocked, preventing settlement problems caused by sudden changes in the moisture content of the underground soil.

[0019] 2. By setting up a gravel layer, the first and second gravel layers form a two-stage filtration system. This two-layer structure achieves both physical filtration and hydraulic buffering functions, which can effectively reduce the impact force of water flow. At the same time, it avoids local scouring caused by water flow impact at the overflow well inlet. By setting up a fence, the gravel layer can play a certain protective role and prevent gravel loss.

[0020] 3. By designing a sunken green space with a compacted soil base as the structural load-bearing layer, and laying a permeable geotextile on its surface to form an isolation interface, the system effectively prevents the loss of fine particles from the planting soil. The planting soil layer meets the needs of vegetation growth, while the surface cover layer combines water retention and aeration, achieving a UV blocking rate of over 90% while suppressing weed germination. This solves the problems of traditional sunken green spaces, such as soil cracking under freeze-thaw cycles, rapid decline in the impermeability of geotextiles, and lack of water retention, weed suppression, and ecological restoration capabilities.

[0037] As per the instruction manual Figures 1-8 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution:

[0038] A sunken green space structure includes a ground 1, on the surface of which a depression 10 is formed as a water storage space, which is filled with a sunken green space body 2 composed of planting soil and improved substrate. The upper surface of the sunken green space body 2 has an inverted trapezoidal groove structure, with guide slopes on both sides and a flow collection platform in the middle. An overflow well 3 is installed through the top of the sunken green space body 2 on the platform. An overflow cover 4 with strip-shaped drainage holes is fitted on the top of the overflow well 3 to guide the water flow into the overflow well 3. Two sets of blind pipes 5 are symmetrically connected to the two side walls of the overflow well 3 near the bottom. The blind pipes 5 penetrate the sunken green space body 2 and extend to the external drainage system at the top, forming the main drainage channel of the main structure of the sunken green space body 2. This enables in-layer precipitation within the sunken green space body 2. Therefore, when the water storage in the green space exceeds the design elevation of the water level of the sunken green space body 2, the excess rainwater is diverted into the municipal pipe network through the diversion port of the overflow well 3, thus preventing the water level in the sunken green space body 2 from being too high and damaging the structure of the sunken green space body 2.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the overflow well 3 is surrounded by a double-layer protective structure: the outer layer is a stainless steel fence 7, which is fixed to the surface of the collection platform of the concave green space body 2. The fence spacing is ≤20mm, and it effectively intercepts solid impurities with a diameter ≥25mm. The inner layer is filled with a graded crushed stone layer 6, which is laid with crushed stone of 5-20mm continuous particle size and is 150-200mm thick. It is located at the junction of the overflow well 3 and the concave green space body 2. When rainwater flows, the fence 7 blocks surface silt and large debris, and the crushed stone layer 6 removes more than 70% of suspended solids and organic debris from the water flow through physical interception and pore adsorption, preventing the overflow system from clogging. The surface of the blind pipe 5 has several guide holes, and the surface of the blind pipe 5 is covered with a permeable geotextile to prevent soil particle loss while guiding the flow. All components work together to achieve rainwater purification, storage, and safe discharge functions.

[0040] Specifically, an anchor rod 9 is installed at the bottom of the fence 7, with the lower end of the anchor rod 9 inserted into the top of the recessed green space body 2. The anchor rod 9 facilitates the installation and fixation of the fence 7 on the recessed green space.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the sunken green space body 2 includes a compacted soil base 21 and a planting soil layer 22. The planting soil layer 22 is laid on the upper side of the compacted soil base 21, and a covering layer 23 is laid on the planting soil layer 22. An impermeable layer 8 is laid between the lower side of the compacted soil base 21 and the depression 10.

[0042] In the above description, the impermeable layer 8 is laid between the bottom surface of the compacted soil base 21 and the foundation of the depression 10, effectively preventing rainwater infiltration and erosion of the foundation soil. The compacted soil base 21 is formed by layered compaction of graded crushed stone, with a compaction degree of ≥95%, serving as a structural load-bearing layer. Its surface is covered with permeable geotextile to form an isolation interface, preventing the loss of fine particles from the planting soil layer 22. The planting soil layer 22 is composed of garden soil, humus, and slow-release fertilizer particles in a volume ratio of 6:3:1, with a thickness of 200-300mm, meeting the needs of vegetation growth while maintaining a porosity of ≥35%. The surface covering layer 23 adopts a two-component structure: the lower layer is a 50mm thick expanded clay drainage layer with a particle size of 10-20mm, which has both water retention and air permeability functions; the upper layer is laid with an environmentally friendly ecological weed suppressing fabric, with a photocatalytic self-cleaning coating on the surface, which inhibits weed germination while achieving an ultraviolet blocking rate of over 90%.

[0043] Specifically, the impermeable layer 8 comprises, from top to bottom, geotextile one 81, HDPE geomembrane 83, and geotextile two 82. Geotextile one 81 is made of 200g / m² short-fiber needle-punched nonwoven geotextile and serves as the protective layer for the geomembrane. The middle layer is a 1.5mm thick HDPE smooth geomembrane 83 with a longitudinal and transverse tensile strength ≥20MPa, meeting the requirements for puncture resistance and aging resistance. The bottom layer, geotextile two 82, is made of 300g / m² long-filament woven geotextile and is integrally formed with the geomembrane through a thermal bonding process. This structure effectively blocks rainwater infiltration and prevents settlement problems caused by sudden changes in the moisture content of the underground soil.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, the crushed stone layer 6 comprises, from bottom to top, a first crushed stone layer 61 and a second crushed stone layer 62. The first crushed stone layer 61 uses basalt crushed stone with a particle size of 20-40mm and a thickness of 150mm, whose high porosity (40%-45%) forms the main seepage channels. The second crushed stone layer 62 uses natural pebbles with a particle size of 5-10mm and a thickness of 50mm, forming a secondary filtration barrier through small-diameter particles. A permeable geotextile is laid between the two layers to form an interface isolation, preventing fine particle migration and gradation instability.

[0045] As described above, this dual-layer structure achieves both physical filtration and hydraulic buffering functions: the large-pore structure of the first layer of crushed stone 61 can trap suspended solids with a diameter ≥5mm, while reducing rainwater flow velocity to 0.3-0.5m / s; the second layer of crushed stone 62, through fine particle gradation, creates Darcy flow conditions, effectively removing more than 80% of impurities with a particle size of 0.5-5mm. The eddy zone formed at the interface between the two layers enhances the particle settling effect, and combined with the adsorption effect of the pebbles surface, the SS removal rate is increased by 35% compared to the single-layer crushed stone structure, while avoiding local scouring caused by water flow impact at the inlet of the overflow well 3.

[0046] The implementation principle of the recessed green space structure described in this utility model includes:

[0047] Step 1: Foundation treatment and construction of the impermeable layer

[0048] Step 1.1: Excavate depression 10 according to the design elevation, level and compact the base, with a compaction degree ≥90%; lay geotextile 282 on the base, and use hot air welding method to form a closed system with the seepage prevention layer on the side wall of depression 10;

[0049] Step 1.2: Lay HDPE geomembrane 83 on geotextile 2 82, and weld the joints using a double-track hot melt welding machine. The weld strength should not be less than 80% of the parent material. After welding, perform air pressure testing to ensure that the leakage rate is ≤0.5 per 100m. 2;

[0050] Step 1.3: Cover with geotextile 81 as a protective layer, and fix it with U-shaped nails at 500mm intervals, with a nail length ≥150mm. After the impermeable layer 8 is constructed, conduct a 48-hour water storage test. The leakage rate is ≤0.5L / (s·ha) to be considered qualified.

[0051] Step 2: Structural layer construction and equipment installation

[0052] Step 2.1: Backfill graded crushed stone in layers on the impermeable layer 8 to the design elevation, with each layer having a loose thickness of ≤300mm. Compact the soil using a vibratory roller to form a compacted soil base 21, with a surface flatness deviation of ≤±20mm.

[0053] Step 2.2: Pre-bury blind pipe 5 according to the design slope (i=1%-2%), wrap the pipe with permeable geotextile, and connect the outlet end of blind pipe 5 to the municipal drainage network with a socket rubber ring, and perform waterproof sealing treatment at the connection.

[0054] Step 2.3: Install the precast concrete overflow well 3, and fill the gap between the well wall and the compacted soil base 21 with medium sand and vibrate it to ensure compaction. The top elevation of the overflow well 3 should be 20-30mm lower than the collection platform, and graded crushed stone should be laid around the well to form a filter layer.

[0055] Step 2.4: Lay a double layer of crushed stone 6: First, lay a layer of crushed stone 61 (20-40mm crushed stone), 150mm thick, level it manually, and then lay a permeable geotextile; then lay a second layer of crushed stone 62 (5-10mm pebbles), 50mm thick, and lightly tamp the surface with a wooden rammer to compact it.

[0056] Step 3: Functional layer construction and vegetation restoration

[0057] Step 3.1: Lay the planting soil layer 22 on the gravel layer 6. Use a rotary tiller to mix garden soil, humus, and slow-release fertilizer. After mixing evenly, spread the mixture to the designed thickness, controlling the bulk density at [value missing]. 1.2-1.4g / cm3 .

[0058] Step 3.2: Install stainless steel fence 7. The foundation is made of C20 concrete cast in place, and the anchor bolt torque is ≥80 N·m. The top elevation of fence 7 should be 50 mm higher than the surface of the planting soil layer 22 to prevent direct erosion by mud and sand.

[0059] Step 3.3: Cover the surface with a layer of humus and leaves 23, with a uniform thickness controlled at 40±5mm, and spray with EM bacterial agent (effective live bacteria count ≥200 million / mL) for biological activation treatment.

[0060] Step 3.4: Select flood-resistant native varieties for vegetation planting, use hydroseeding technology for construction, cover with non-woven fabric to retain moisture after sowing, maintain for ≥28 days, and only accept and deliver after the survival rate meets the standard.

[0061] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model.
