Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gardens, specifically, a garden path. BACKGROUND

[0002] The garden path is an important part of the garden landscape, which not only bears the traffic and guiding functions, but also enhances the experience of tourists through design, combines with nature and cultural elements, and aims to prevent soil erosion, reduce damage to the natural environment, promote rainwater infiltration, and maintain ecological balance.

[0003] However, the current garden path is covered or shielded (bluestone, cobblestone) to reduce soil erosion caused by rainwater erosion of the soil, but the green plants are not conducive to growth after covering. To further reduce soil erosion, green plants are usually planted on the soil to connect the surface soil and deep soil tightly through plant root systems to prevent soil sliding. However, the completely covered garden path area cannot be planted with green plants. If the green plants grow in the gaps of the partially covered garden path area, tourists are easy to directly step on the green plants, which destroys the natural environment. In view of this, we propose a garden path that meets the growth of green plants, prevents stepping, and reduces soil erosion. SUMMARY

[0004] The utility model aims at solving the above-mentioned shortcomings and providing a garden path.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides a garden path, which comprises two groups of support pads and a garden path body. The two groups of support pads are fixed at the bottom of the garden path body respectively. Each group of support pads comprises a plurality of soft pads fixedly connected with the garden path body, and the bottoms of the plurality of soft pads are horizontally supported on the ground.

[0006] The support pad is used to support the garden path body away from the ground, so as to form a green plant area for planting plants between the garden path body and the ground.

[0007] The garden path body is made of a light-transmitting material.

[0008] As a further improvement of the technical scheme, the garden path body is provided with longitudinal guide portions at both ends, and the garden path body is smoothly inclined from the center line to the longitudinal guide portions at both ends.

[0009] As a further improvement of the technical scheme, the garden path body is provided with transverse guide portions at both sides, and the garden path body is smoothly inclined from the center line to the transverse guide portions at both sides.

[0010] As a further improvement of the technical scheme, the garden path body, the longitudinal guide portions, and the transverse guide portions are integrally formed.

[0011] As a further improvement to this technical solution, a drain hole is provided at the end edge of the longitudinal guide section to allow rainwater that slides down the upper surface of the garden walkway to fall from the drain hole into the green area.

[0012] As a further improvement to this technical solution, the top of the main body of the garden walkway is provided with multiple anti-slip holes at equal intervals, and the upper surface of the main body of the garden walkway is provided with multiple protective protrusions.

[0013] As a further improvement to this technical solution, the end of the horizontal guide is connected to a splash-proof arc plate, which is located on the outside of the support pad and has an upwardly smooth arc shape.

[0014] As a further improvement to this technical solution, each set of support pads is composed of multiple soft pads made of elastic material, and the multiple soft pads are fixedly connected to conform to the bottom contour of the transverse guide portion.

[0015] As a further improvement to this technical solution, a grid pad is fixedly connected between the two sets of support pads, and the grid pad is used to support the ground.

[0016] As a further improvement to this technical solution, the ends of the horizontal guides at both ends are respectively provided with insertion holes and insertion rods, and the insertion rod on one of the garden walkway main bodies is plugged into and adapted to the insertion hole on the other garden walkway main body.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] In this garden walkway, plants are planted in green areas, allowing them to grow on the ground. The main body of the walkway is supported by support pads to shield the plants while providing a walking path for visitors. On the one hand, the walkway provides shelter from rainwater, reducing soil erosion. At the same time, the plant roots penetrate the soil and grow, tightly connecting the topsoil with the deeper soil layers, preventing soil slippage. This provides a double protection against soil erosion. On the other hand, the main body of the walkway supports visitors, preventing them from trampling on the plants and helping to protect the natural environment. Attached Figure Description

[0027] 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.

[0028] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a garden walkway, including two sets of support pads (100) and a garden walkway body (200). The two sets of support pads (100) are respectively fixed to the bottom of the garden walkway body (200). Each set of support pads (100) includes multiple soft pads fixedly connected to the garden walkway body (200), and the bottoms of the multiple soft pads are horizontally supported on the ground.

[0029] The support pad (100) is used to support the main body of the garden walkway (200) away from the ground, so that a green area for planting plants is formed between the main body of the garden walkway (200) and the ground;

[0030] The main body (200) of the garden walkway is made of a light-transmitting material, which allows sunlight to penetrate and provide light energy to the plants in the green area, thus improving their lifespan.

[0031] The improvement of this utility model is that the plants are planted in the green area so that they can grow on the ground. The main body of the garden walkway (200) is supported by the support pad (100) to cover the green plants and allow tourists to walk on it. On the one hand, the main body of the garden walkway (200) can cover the plants and reduce the erosion of the soil by rainwater. At the same time, the roots of the green plants penetrate the soil and grow, which tightly connects the topsoil and the deep soil and prevents the soil from sliding. This is conducive to reducing soil erosion with double protection. On the other hand, when tourists walk, the main body of the garden walkway (200) supports them and prevents tourists from trampling on the green plants, which is conducive to protecting the natural environment.

[0032] Considering that the surface of the current garden walkway (200) is prone to water accumulation, resulting in no place for tourists to step on it, the garden walkway (200) is provided with longitudinal guide sections (220) at both ends, and the garden walkway (200) is smoothly inclined from the center line to the longitudinal guide sections (220) at both ends.

[0033] Furthermore, the main body of the garden walkway (200) is provided with horizontal guide sections (230) on both sides. The main body of the garden walkway (200) is smoothly inclined from the center line to the horizontal guide sections (230) on both sides, so that some of the rainwater on the upper surface of the main body of the garden walkway (200) flows to the longitudinal guide section (220) and the other part flows to the horizontal guide section (230), reducing the water accumulation on the upper surface of the main body of the garden walkway (200), which is conducive to tourists' footing and improves the utilization effect.

[0034] The main body (200), longitudinal guide (220) and transverse guide (230) of the garden walkway are all integrally formed structures, which helps to reduce the inconvenience caused by the connection. At the same time, they are all made of high-strength, tread-resistant transparent material to avoid limited load-bearing capacity due to suspension. In addition, those who are skilled in the art can easily think of these features, so I will not elaborate further.

[0035] Furthermore, in order to allow rainwater to penetrate into the green area for irrigation, a drain hole (221) is provided at the end edge of the longitudinal guide (220) to allow rainwater that slides down the upper surface of the garden walkway (200) to fall from the drain hole (221) into the green area, so that rainwater can irrigate the area around the green area and avoid the green area being blocked, thus affecting the irrigation effect.

[0036] Specifically, the top of the main body of the garden walkway (200) is provided with multiple anti-slip holes (210) at equal intervals, and the upper surface of the main body of the garden walkway (200) is provided with multiple protective protrusions. The anti-slip holes (210) and protective protrusions increase the roughness of the surface of the main body of the garden walkway (200), which helps to increase the friction force when tourists step on it, avoid slipping, and improve safety. At the same time, rainwater falls down to the green area through the anti-slip holes (210), increasing the range of rainwater falling, further watering the green plants and improving drainage efficiency.

[0037] Considering that when the current garden walkway is stepped on, the water on the ground will splash when the walkway is connected to the ground, causing water to splash onto the trouser legs of tourists, a splash-proof arc plate (231) is connected to the end of the horizontal guide part (230). The splash-proof arc plate (231) is located on the outside of the support pad (100) and is in the shape of an upward smooth arc. This is beneficial for the support pad (100) to squeeze the water and cause splashing, so that the water can be blocked along the arc surface of the splash-proof arc plate (231), reducing the possibility of splashing onto the trouser legs of tourists and improving safety.

[0038] Furthermore, considering that the main body (200) of the garden walkway is easily damaged by rigid compression when subjected to load, each set of support pads (100) is composed of multiple soft pads made of elastic material, and the multiple soft pads are fixedly connected to adapt to the bottom contour of the horizontal guide (230), so that when the top of the main body (200) of the garden walkway is subjected to force, the elasticity of the soft pads can buffer the rigid impact and improve the service life.

[0039] Furthermore, in order to further reduce soil erosion, a grid pad (110) is fixedly connected between the two sets of support pads (100). The grid pad (110) is used to support the ground, further press the land, reduce land movement, and reduce soil erosion.

[0040] In addition, in longer walking areas, longer garden walkways need to be laid. Therefore, in order to adapt to different scenarios, the ends of the horizontal guides (230) at both ends are provided with insertion holes (222) and insertion rods (223). The insertion rod (223) on one of the garden walkway main bodies (200) is connected to the insertion hole (222) on the other garden walkway main body (200) to achieve splicing between garden walkway main bodies (200) for extension and stability, and improve the applicability range.

[0041] In practical use, the garden walkway of this utility model is adapted by connecting the insert rod (223) on one garden walkway body (200) with the insert hole (222) on the other garden walkway body (200), so that the garden walkway bodies (200) can be spliced ​​together to extend the walkway area and form a longer walking area. Plants are planted in the green area, and the garden walkway body (200) covers the green plants. When it rains, part of the rainwater on the upper surface of the garden walkway body (200) flows to the longitudinal guide part (220) and the other part flows to the transverse guide part (230), so that the rainwater irrigates the green area.

[0042] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
