However, traditional gabion retaining wall construction methods, particularly dry-water cofferdam construction, suffer from high costs associated with cofferdam construction and drainage, significant environmental constraints, long construction periods, substantial ecological impacts, poor adaptability to specific scenarios, and difficulty in balancing cost reduction and efficiency improvement with environmental protection requirements. Underwater construction, on the other hand, requires addressing complex water flow and geological conditions, leading to difficulties in positioning, low construction efficiency, and high equipment and labor costs due to specific operational requirements. Furthermore, construction quality and ecological impacts are difficult to control, hindering the overall project's progress and the realization of its benefits. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a steel formwork for the construction of gabion retaining walls, which solves the problems of high positioning difficulty and low construction efficiency in the existing technology, thus affecting the progress of the overall project.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A steel formwork for constructing a gabion retaining wall includes a gabion mesh disposed inside the main body of the steel formwork, and the main body of the steel formwork has a rectangular cross-section. The inner side of the main body of the steel formwork is provided with movable components for protection. The movable components include movable vertical baffles disposed around the inner side of the main body of the steel formwork, with the four movable vertical baffles contacting the perimeter of the gabion mesh, and a limiting ring fixed to the top of the inner side of the main body of the steel formwork, with the top of the movable vertical baffles contacting the bottom of the limiting ring. The bottom ends of the movable vertical baffles are respectively provided with limiting components for restricting their movement.

[0006] Furthermore, the limiting component includes limiting vertical grooves respectively opened at both ends of the bottom of the movable vertical baffle, and a limiting shell disposed on one side of the limiting vertical groove and connected thereto. The limiting shell is fixedly connected to the steel mold body. The top inner side of the limiting shell is provided with a movable seat that is detachably connected to the movable vertical baffle. The two ends of the movable seat are slidably connected to the inner side of the limiting vertical groove and the limiting shell, respectively.

[0007] Furthermore, the movable seat is provided with a positioning groove, and a movable wheel is provided inside the positioning groove and is rolledly connected to the inner wall of the limiting housing. A limiting shaft fixed to the movable seat is rotatably provided at the axis of the movable wheel.

[0008] Furthermore, an L-shaped plate that slides with the limiting housing is fixedly provided on the top of the movable seat, and the two ends of the L-shaped plate are slidably connected to the limiting vertical groove and the inner side of the limiting housing, respectively.

[0009] Furthermore, a reset spring is fixedly provided at the bottom of the L-shaped plate, and a limiting plate located at the bottom of the inner side of the limiting housing is fixedly provided at the bottom of the reset spring.

[0010] Furthermore, a connecting plate is fixedly installed on the main body of the steel mold, and the number of the connecting plates is set to four and they are symmetrically distributed.

[0011] Furthermore, the connecting plate has a limiting hole, and limiting hooks that are fixed to the connecting plate are respectively provided on both sides inside the limiting hole.

[0012] By employing the above technical solution, this utility model provides a steel formwork for gabion retaining wall construction, which, compared with the prior art, has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. This utility model uses a steel mold body as a positioning device for the installation and support of gabion cages. With the support of the steel mold body, the stone loading can be completed quickly with the help of mechanical equipment, without the need for cofferdam operation. It has the characteristics of reasonable structural design, simple operation, good stability, and safe and controllable operation. It solves the problems of unstable underwater stone loading operation platform and difficulty in stone positioning. It can not only improve the stone loading efficiency of gabion cage retaining wall, ensure the positioning and shape of gabion cage retaining wall, and reduce construction difficulty, but also significantly shorten the construction time and reduce the construction cost.

[0014] 2. This utility model makes it easier for the gabion cage to detach from the steel mold body by setting up movable components, reducing the resistance between the steel mold body and the gabion cage, making the pulling operation of the mold smoother, speeding up the disassembly of the steel mold, and improving the overall construction efficiency. At the same time, the movable vertical baffle can provide a certain degree of protection for the inner wall of the steel mold body, effectively reducing the friction between the gabion cage and the inner wall of the steel mold body, thereby avoiding wear on the inner wall of the steel mold body and extending the service life of the steel mold body.

[0025] 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.

[0026] In riverbank protection projects, gabion stones' excellent flexibility and permeability can effectively resist water erosion, maintain riverbank stability, and promote the exchange of matter and energy between river water and the embankment, creating a living environment for aquatic organisms. In slope protection projects, they can reinforce slopes, prevent landslides and collapses, and their aesthetic appeal and greening properties allow them to blend harmoniously with environments that have high landscape requirements. In flood control embankment projects, they are important flood control structures that can withstand flood impacts and reduce the damage caused by floods to the embankments.

[0027] Because traditional gabion cages are difficult to position underwater, resulting in low construction efficiency, in order to improve the efficiency of gabion cage retaining walls, ensure the positioning and shape of gabion cage retaining walls, and reduce construction difficulty, such as... Figure 1 - Figure 3As shown, a steel formwork for gabion retaining walls is provided, including gabion mesh 2 installed inside the main body 1 of the steel formwork. The main body 1 of the steel formwork is rectangular in shape. The gabion mesh 2 is cut and spliced ​​according to the dimensions of the rectangular steel formwork to ensure that the mesh completely covers the inner surface of the rectangular steel formwork. The mesh is fixed to the rectangular steel formwork using special steel bars and binding wire. The binding points should be evenly distributed and firmly bound to prevent the mesh from falling off during the stone filling process. The laying quality of the mesh is checked to ensure that the mesh is undamaged, has no gaps, and the mesh size meets the design requirements.

[0028] A connecting plate 4 is fixedly installed on the main body of the steel mold 1. The number of connecting plates 4 is set to four and they are symmetrically distributed. The connecting plates 4 have limit hanging holes 41. Limit hooks 42 are respectively set on both sides of the limit hanging holes 41 and fixed to the connecting plates 4. After the stones are loaded and inspected, two ropes are passed through the limit hanging holes 41 and connected to the upper side of the two limit hooks 42 respectively. The two ropes are connected together. Then, the ropes on the four connecting plates 4 are connected together to the crane hook. The crane is used to slowly lift the main body of the steel mold 1 from underwater and place it on the shore at a designated location for cleaning and maintenance for the next use.

[0029] The inner side of the steel mold body 1 is provided with a movable component 3 for protection. The movable component 3 includes movable vertical baffles 31 respectively disposed around the inner side of the steel mold body 1. Two adjacent movable vertical baffles 31 are in contact with each other end to end, so that four movable vertical baffles 31 are distributed around the inner side of the steel mold body 1. The four movable vertical baffles 31 are in contact with the gabion cage 2 around the perimeter, which can effectively reduce the friction between the gabion cage 2 and the inner wall of the steel mold, thereby avoiding wear on the inner wall of the steel mold. The component 3 also includes a limiting ring 32 fixed to the top of the inner side of the steel mold body 1. The top of the movable vertical baffles 31 is in contact with the bottom of the limiting ring 32. The limiting ring 32 is used to limit the position of the four movable vertical baffles 31.

[0030] To ensure the gabion cage 2 can quickly detach from the steel formwork body 1, and to reduce the friction between the gabion cage 2 and the steel formwork body 1, this not only reduces damage to the steel formwork body 1 but also minimizes the possibility of jamming during operation, thus improving the safety of construction operations. Figure 4 - Figure 5As shown, limiting components 33 for restricting the movement of the movable vertical baffle 31 are respectively provided at both ends of the bottom. Specifically, the limiting component 33 includes limiting vertical grooves 331 respectively opened at both ends of the bottom of the movable vertical baffle 31, and a limiting shell 332 disposed on one side of the limiting vertical grooves 331 and connected thereto. The limiting shell 332 is fixedly connected to the steel mold body 1. A movable seat 333 is provided on the top inner side of the limiting shell 332 and is detachably connected to the movable vertical baffle 31. The two ends of the movable seat 333 are slidably connected to the inner sides of the limiting vertical grooves 331 and the limiting shell 332, respectively. A positioning groove is provided on the 333. A movable wheel 334 is provided on the inner side of the positioning groove and is rolledly connected to the inner wall of the limiting housing 332. A limiting shaft 335 is rotatably provided at the axis of the movable wheel 334 and fixed to the movable seat 333. An L-shaped plate 336 is fixedly provided on the top of the movable seat 333 and slides with the limiting housing 332. The two ends of the L-shaped plate 336 are slidably connected to the limiting vertical groove 331 and the inner side of the limiting housing 332, respectively. A return spring 337 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the L-shaped plate 336. A limiting plate 338 located at the bottom of the inner side of the limiting housing 332 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the return spring 337.

[0031] When the steel mold body 1 is pulled upward, the four movable vertical baffles 31 contact the gabion cage 2 filled with stones, so that the four movable vertical baffles 31 are under certain pressure. When the steel mold body 1 first moves upward, the four movable vertical baffles 31 remain stationary, the limiting shell 332 moves upward, and the movable wheel 334 rolls inside the limiting shell 332, but the movable wheel 334 and the movable seat 333 remain stationary. At the same time, the limiting shell 332 drives the limiting plate 338 to move upward, squeezing the return spring 337. The return spring 337 is compressed due to elastic deformation, making the upward movement of the steel mold body 1 smoother. When the steel mold body 1 moves upward to a certain distance, it will cause the four movable vertical baffles 31 to disengage from the gabion cage 2.

[0032] In actual use, the rectangular steel formwork is first lifted by a crane to the designated underwater design position. Then, the construction workers unfold the two gabion mesh pieces underwater, cut and splice them according to the size of the rectangular steel formwork, ensuring that the mesh pieces can completely cover the inner surface of the rectangular steel formwork. The mesh pieces are then fixed to the rectangular steel formwork with special steel bars and binding wire. The binding points should be evenly distributed and firmly bound.

[0033] Then, select hard, high-strength, and weather-resistant boulders as filling material. The particle size of the boulders should meet the design requirements. Use a conveying tool to load the boulders into the two spaces of the gabion cage inside the rectangular steel mold. During the loading process, pay attention to the placement of the boulders, and try to make them interlaced and closely arranged to improve the density of the gabion cage. After filling to the design height, level the boulders at the top of the gabion cage to make the top surface flat. After the filling is completed and the inspection is qualified, use two ropes to pass through the limiting holes 41 and connect them to the upper side of the two limiting hooks 42 respectively. The two ropes are connected together. Then, connect the ropes on the four connecting plates 4 together to the crane hook. Use the crane to slowly lift the steel mold body 1 from underwater and place it on the shore at the designated position.

[0034] This utility model is used in the construction of underwater gabion retaining walls for riverbank protection projects, slope protection projects, flood control dike projects, etc. in various water conservancy projects. It is especially suitable for water areas where drainage is difficult or the drainage cost is too high and the construction conditions are complex.
