Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of drainage net technology, specifically a geosynthetic drainage net structure. Background Technology

[0002] Geogrids are drainage systems used in earthwork engineering. They are typically made of polypropylene or other similar materials, possessing high strength and corrosion resistance. The main function of geogrids is to promote rapid drainage of water from the soil through their mesh structure, reducing soil seepage pressure and preventing water accumulation and liquid buildup, thereby maintaining soil stability and drainage performance. Geogrids are widely used in roads, dams, fill projects, and water conservancy projects.

[0003] Traditional geogrids serve a drainage function in earthwork engineering, but they have a technical problem: they cannot prevent water from the underground soil from seeping through the mesh to the dry surface. Current drainage net structures typically promote the removal of water from the soil through their mesh structure, but their effectiveness in blocking underground water layers is limited. This allows underground water to still seep through the mesh to the surface, causing dry areas on the surface to become damp due to water erosion.

[0004] A novel composite geogrid drainage net is disclosed in patent publication number CN216108425U. This device separates the upper and lower cover layers and the porous drainage net by setting upper and lower reinforcing layers, which can effectively prevent the cover layer from getting stuck in the small holes when the external pressure is too great, thus ensuring the smooth drainage of the device. This type of composite geogrid drainage net has the advantages of high structural strength and resistance to clogging. However, the small holes on its upper and lower reinforcing layers can easily allow water in the underground soil to seep to the surface, causing water erosion in dry areas on the surface. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[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] Example

[0030] A geosynthetic drainage net structure, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a porous drainage net 5, a reinforcing layer 2, and a permeable layer 1; the reinforcing layer 2 is connected to both sides of the porous drainage net 5, and the two permeable layers 1 are respectively connected to the reinforcing layers 2 on both sides; the permeable layers 1 are used to filter water and prevent large particles from entering the porous drainage net 5 and causing blockage.

[0031] The reinforcing layer 2 includes a connecting outer frame 3 and a support plate 6, with the support plate 6 located inside the connecting outer frame 3; the support plate 6 has flow guide grooves 8 on both sides, and a plurality of flow guide holes 7 are provided in the flow guide grooves 8.

[0032] A limiting cylinder 10 is installed inside the flow guide channel 8. The limiting cylinder 10 is located at the top of the flow guide hole 7 and is fixedly connected to the support plate 6. A limiting ring 11 is installed at the top of the limiting cylinder 10, such as... Figure 4 As shown, a flow guide port 14 is provided at the bottom of the limiting cylinder 10, and a float ball 9 is provided inside the limiting cylinder 10. The outer diameter of the float ball 9 is larger than the diameter of the flow guide hole 7. The float ball 9 is used to block the flow guide hole 7 to prevent capillary water penetration.

[0033] Specifically, in use, the geosynthetic drainage net structure of this invention is buried between the foundation and the subgrade. Simultaneously, the porous drainage net 5 in the middle needs to be connected to the drainage ditches on both sides of the road. The drainage net structure serves to isolate the foundation and the subgrade. When drainage is needed, water flows through the permeable layer 1 into the guide channel 8 on the support plate 6. The water flow lifts the float 9, opening the guide hole 7. The water flows through the guide port 14 into the limiting cylinder 10, and then flows through the guide hole 7 into the porous drainage net 5, where it is drained away. After the water is drained, the float 9 falls, closing the guide hole 7. With the guide hole 7 closed, capillary flow can no longer lift the float 9, effectively preventing capillary water in the subgrade from seeping into the dry foundation through the drainage net. This effectively prevents the dry foundation from being eroded by moisture. It should be noted that the foundation is close to the ground surface; therefore, after drainage is completed, the foundation can remain dry through natural air drying. Even immediately after drainage, only a small amount of water will seep into the drainage channel 8 from the foundation. This water will evaporate and dry out. However, the base will store more water. Therefore, after drainage, a significant amount of water will seep out from the base. At this point, the float 9 can prevent this water from evaporating or seeping into the foundation by blocking the drainage hole 7, thus keeping the foundation dry and achieving moisture protection.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the permeable layer 1 is made of non-woven geotextile. Non-woven geotextile has advantages such as good permeability, high tensile strength, and corrosion resistance. As the material of the permeable layer 1, the main function of this non-woven geotextile is to filter water and prevent large particles from entering the porous drainage net 5 and causing blockage. Through the application of non-woven geotextile, it plays a crucial filtering role in the geosynthetic drainage net structure, ensuring the normal operation and stability of the earthwork project.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, a barbed hook 13 is fixed to one side of the connecting outer frame 3, and the barbed hook 13 penetrates the permeable layer 1. The function of the barbed hook 13 is to enhance the bonding strength between the connecting outer frame 3 and the permeable layer 1, ensuring the stability and sealing of the geotextile drainage net structure. By penetrating the permeable layer 1, the barbed hook 13 tightly fixes the connecting outer frame 3 between the foundation and the subgrade, preventing the geotextile drainage net from loosening or falling off during use. Through the design and application of the barbed hook 13, the overall durability of the geotextile drainage net can be effectively enhanced, improving its reliability and longevity.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the permeable layer 1 and the connecting frame 3 are connected by an adhesive. The adhesive forms a uniform and firm bonding layer on the contact surface where the permeable layer 1 and the connecting frame 3 meet, thereby increasing the bonding strength and sealing performance between them. The application of the adhesive effectively prevents gaps or loosening between the permeable layer 1 and the connecting frame 3, preventing separation or slippage during use. This connection method improves the overall structural stability and durability of the geotextile drainage net.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, the outer frame 3 is sealed to the support plate 6, and the support plate 6 is sealed to adjacent support plates 6. This sealed connection design effectively prevents moisture and particles from seeping or leaking through the connection, maintaining the airtightness and stability of the geotextile drainage net structure. The sealed connection between the outer frame and the support plate 6 prevents water from entering the drainage net from the outside, maintaining the normal operation of the drainage system. Simultaneously, the sealed connection between the support plate 6 and adjacent support plates 6 ensures the continuity and integrity of the entire drainage net system, preventing leakage at the connection points from affecting the drainage effect or structural stability.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the bottom sides of the support plate 6 are inclined. This design creates a space between the support plate 6 and the porous drainage net 5, facilitating drainage. This space allows water in the drainage system to flow quickly to the porous drainage net 5, effectively removing surface or groundwater and maintaining the dryness and stability of the earthwork. Furthermore, the inclined bottom sides of the support plate 6 also promote smooth water flow in the drainage system, improving drainage efficiency. This design effectively prevents water from stagnating or accumulating between the support plate 6 and the porous drainage net 5, avoiding drainage problems or blockages, and ensuring the normal operation and drainage function of the geotextile drainage net structure.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1 or Figure 3 As shown, guide channels 8 are provided on both the left and right sides of the top of the support plate 6. By providing guide channels 8 on both sides of the top of the support plate 6, the water flow can be evenly distributed, improving the drainage efficiency and capacity of the entire geotextile drainage network structure. This design effectively prevents water from stagnating or accumulating in the drainage system, reducing the risk of blockage and maintaining the smooth and stable operation of the drainage system.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1As shown, the porous drainage net 5 has several drainage holes 4 on both its upper and lower sides, and the guide holes 7 on the support plate 6 correspond to the positions of the drainage holes 4. This design ensures that water in the drainage system can flow quickly and evenly through the drainage holes 4 to the guide holes 7 on the support plate 6, achieving effective drainage. The corresponding positions of the guide holes 7 on the support plate 6 and the drainage holes 4 effectively guide the water flow, preventing water deviation or siltation, and maintaining the smooth flow and stability of the system. This design not only improves the performance and efficiency of the drainage system but also reduces maintenance costs and mitigates the risk of blockage during system operation, ensuring the long-term stable and reliable operation of the geotextile drainage net structure.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, a limiting cylinder 10 on the support plate 6 at the bottom of the porous drainage net 5 is fixedly connected to a limiting rod 12, which is located at the bottom of the limiting ring 11. The limiting rod 12 is used to limit the float 9. The support plate 6 at the bottom allows water in the foundation to enter the drainage net and be discharged. When too much water seeps out of the foundation, the float 9 will rise and block the drainage holes 4 on the drainage net, preventing effective drainage. Therefore, the limiting rod 12 is needed to limit the upward distance of the float 9.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the limiting cylinder 10 has a two-lobed structure, with both lobes fixedly connected to the support plate 6, forming a flow guide 14 between the two lobes. The float 9 is positioned between the two lobes. The flow guide 14 formed between the two lobes guides the water flow smoothly, assisting in rapid drainage and flow, and improving drainage efficiency. This design ensures stable and reliable operation of the drainage system.
