Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of hydraulic equipment technology, specifically relating to a wave-breaking wall structure with adjustable handrail height. Background Technology
[0002] Breakwaters are typically installed at the top of seawalls, near the water-blocking edge. Their elevation is generally fixed and cannot be adjusted, and most breakwaters do not include handrails. Several common prefabricated breakwaters, such as a prefabricated flood control wall (CN 109881631B), cleverly improve stability by creating a water storage area; a prefabricated prefabricated breakwater and its construction method (CN 113356138 A), which forms a unified breakwater by filling the spaces between prefabricated blocks with cast-in-place concrete; and a seawall breakwater structure and its construction method (CN 115233615 B), which balances stability with ease of assembly and disassembly. None of these breakwaters include handrails. In public safety applications, breakwaters requiring pedestrian access need handrails or similar protective facilities. Furthermore, none of these breakwaters offer adjustable height to accommodate changes in water level.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a wave-breaking wall structure with adjustable height and the ability to install handrails. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model addresses the technical problems of existing wave-breaking walls that lack handrail installation and have no height adjustment by providing a wave-breaking wall structure with adjustable handrail height.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A wave-breaking wall structure with adjustable handrail height includes: multiple wave-breaking units, which are sequentially inserted and fixed along the height of the wave-breaking wall; a wave-breaking wall mounting groove is provided on the top of the dike for installing the wave-breaking wall; the bottom wave-breaking unit is inserted into the wave-breaking wall mounting groove; and a handrail is detachably connected to the top wave-breaking unit.
[0007] Furthermore, the wave-breaking unit includes a wave-breaking wall with a plate-like structure. The upper end of the wave-breaking wall in the height direction has a groove, and the lower end has a protrusion. The protrusion of each wave-breaking unit is adapted to the groove of the adjacent unit.
[0008] The design of grooves and protrusions allows for adjustable height of the wave-breaking wall.
[0009] Furthermore, a vertical insertion hole is provided downward in the groove of the topmost wave-breaking wall. A bolt hole is provided outside the insertion hole, extending through the thickness of the wave-breaking wall. The bolt hole passes through the insertion hole, and a bolt hole is provided at the corresponding position of the handrail. The handrail is inserted into the insertion hole, and the handrail is fixed to the topmost wave-breaking wall by screwing bolts into the corresponding two bolt holes.
[0010] The design of the sockets allows the handrails to be detachably connected to the wave-breaking wall.
[0011] Furthermore, the water-facing side of the wave-breaking wall is equipped with multiple arc-shaped wave-breaking plates.
[0012] Furthermore, the wave-breaking wall is equipped with lifting holes to facilitate lifting and installation. Beneficial effects
[0013] This invention achieves adjustable wave-breaking wall height through the design of multiple wave-breaking units. The height can be adjusted in real time according to changes in tides, storm surges, or flood levels, avoiding excessive redundancy of fixed-height walls at low water levels or insufficient protection at high water levels. It can be temporarily heightened during extreme events such as typhoons and rainstorms to enhance protective capabilities; and its height can be lowered during normal times to minimize impact on the landscape or ecology.
[0014] This utility model, through the design of insertion holes and bolts, enables the handrail to be installed on the wave-breaking wall and achieves detachable installation. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0020] See Figure 1 , 3The present invention provides a wave-breaking wall structure with adjustable handrail height, comprising multiple wave-breaking units 3, which are sequentially inserted and fixed along the height of the wave-breaking wall. The top of the dike 1 for installing the wave-breaking wall has a wave-breaking wall mounting groove 2, and the bottom wave-breaking unit is inserted into the wave-breaking wall mounting groove. The top wave-breaking unit is detachably connected to a handrail 4.
[0021] like Figure 3 Taking one of the wave-breaking units as an example, the wave-breaking unit includes a wave-breaking wall with a plate-like structure. Figure 3 The image shows a wave-breaking wall in use. The upper end of the wave-breaking wall in the height direction has a groove 34, and the lower end has a protrusion 33. The protrusion is formed by cutting inward along the thickness direction of the wave-breaking wall. The protrusion of each wave-breaking unit is adapted to the groove of the adjacent unit.
[0022] The water-facing surface of the wave-breaking wall is equipped with multiple arc-shaped wave-breaking plates 35. A vertical insertion hole 31 is formed downwards within a groove in the topmost wave-breaking wall. A bolt hole 32 extends through the wall's thickness from the insertion hole. A corresponding bolt hole 41 is formed in the handrail, into which the handrail 4 is inserted. Bolts 5 are screwed into the bolt holes to secure the handrail 4 to the topmost wave-breaking wall. Figure 2 As shown.
[0023] The wave-proof wall 3 is equipped with lifting holes 36, which can be installed on the walls on both sides of the groove, making it convenient to use a crane for transportation and installation during construction.
[0024] The distance to the pre-set wave wall installation slot 2 on the top of the seawall 1 can be selected as follows: the horizontal distance from the wave wall installation slot to the water-retaining front edge is greater than 10% of the distance between the water-retaining front edge of the seawall top breast wall and the bottom of the seawall toe. Studies have shown that when the wave wall is in this position, the total horizontal wave force it experiences is approximately 65% of the total horizontal wave force experienced by the wave wall when it is at the water-retaining front edge of the seawall top. The number of wave wall blocks 3 to be stacked can be determined according to the actual needs of the project, thereby determining the height of the wave wall. Figure 1 The main body of the wave-breaking wall 3 (which is stacked in 3 pieces as shown) is about 40cm high.
[0025] See Figure 2 This utility model relates to a wave-damping wall structure with adjustable handrail height. Figure 2 The diagram shows the breakwater wall 3 stacked in two sections. Handrails 4 are inserted into the breakwater wall and fixed to it with bolts; the bolt nuts are on the near-shore side, and the bolt caps are on the near-shore side. The length of the handrails 4 is the same as that of the breakwater wall 3, and the height of the handrails 4 is approximately 140mm.
[0026] Instructions for use: Reserve a slot 2 for the wave-breaking wall installation on the top 1 of the seawall. Determine the number of wave-breaking wall blocks 3 to be stacked according to project requirements and install them. During installation, a crane can be used to move the wave-breaking wall blocks 3 through the lifting holes 36 provided in the wave-breaking wall blocks 3. Place the handrails 4 into the insertion holes 31 of the wave-breaking wall blocks 3, and further secure the handrails 4 with bolts 5 to complete the wave-breaking wall installation.
[0027] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the above description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model.
