[0030] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 3 One embodiment of a sponge parking lot includes parking units 1, permeable tree pits 2, and water collection tanks 3. Specifically, multiple sets of parking units 1 are arranged in an array along the direction of lane 100, and each parking unit 1 includes four parking spaces 10 arranged in a grid pattern; the permeable tree pits 2 are used for planting trees, and each set of parking units 1 has a permeable tree pit 2 at its center.

[0032] By utilizing the corners of parking spaces 10 to set up permeable tree pits 2, the occupation of parking space by permeable tree pits 2 is reduced, meaning that more parking spaces 10 can be arranged within the same land area, thereby improving land utilization. It can be understood that the permeable tree pits 2 are located in the center of the four parking spaces 10, and the trees planted in the permeable tree pits 2 can provide shade for the adjacent four parking spaces 10, thereby increasing the shade rate of the trees on the parking area. On the other hand, the trees are relatively far away from the driveway 100, which can reduce the obstruction of the trees' view of the driveway 100, which is beneficial to traffic safety.

[0033] The permeable tree pit 2 includes a pebble pit 20, the top of which is lower than the parking space 10. The pebble pit 20 is filled with planting soil 202 and isolated by a permeable fabric 201. A water collection pool 3 is located below the pebble pit 20 to collect rainwater passing through it. Specifically, the water collection pool 3 includes a pool body 30 and a top cover 301. The pool body 30 is buried below the pebble pit 20, and the top cover 301 is located on top of the pool body 30 to support the pebble pit 20. Multiple sets of through holes are provided on the top cover 301 connecting the pool body 30 and the pebble pit 20. It is understood that the permeable fabric 201 is a geotextile, which effectively drains excess water from the planting soil 202 and prevents the planting soil 202 from being lost. The size of the through holes on the top cover 301 should be smaller than the minimum size of the pebbles in the pebble pit 20 to prevent pebbles from falling into the pool body 30 through the through holes.

[0034] The permeable tree pit 2 structure, composed of pebble pit 20, permeable cloth 201, and planting soil 202, and the water collection pool 3, facilitate the connection between the permeable tree pit 2 and the water collection pool 3 to form a drainage system. Rainwater flows into the pool body 30 for storage through the through holes on the pebble pit 20 and the top cover 301, realizing the collection and utilization of rainwater. It can be understood that when rainwater flows through the pebble pit 20, the pebble pit 20 can play a certain role in purifying the rainwater. When trees are planted in the permeable tree pit 2, as the tree roots grow and the root system has the characteristic of hydrotropism, the tree roots will penetrate through the permeable cloth 201, pebble pit 20, and through holes into the pool body 30 to obtain water, thereby effectively utilizing the rainwater stored in the pool body 30, thus reducing the operation and maintenance work of manual irrigation. On the other hand, the water collection pool 3 also serves as a drainage facility for the parking lot, which can reduce the number of drainage facilities in the parking lot.

[0035] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the water collection tank 3 further includes an overflow component 4, which connects the tank body 30 to the external municipal drainage system, and is used to discharge excess water in the tank body 30 into the external municipal drainage system. By setting the overflow component 4 to discharge excess water in the tank body 30, the phenomenon of waterlogging caused by excessive water in the tank body 30 can be avoided.

[0036] Specifically, in the above embodiment, the overflow component 4 includes a drainage ditch 40; the drainage ditch 40 is disposed on one side of the pool body 30, and an overflow port 401 is provided connecting the drainage ditch 40 and the upper part of the pool body 30. One end of the drainage ditch 40 is connected to the external municipal drainage system. When there is too much water in the pool body 30, the water in the pool body 30 can flow into the drainage ditch 40 through the overflow port 401, and then be directed to the external municipal drainage system through the drainage ditch 40.

[0037] Based on the above embodiments, the overflow assembly 4 further includes a cover plate 402; the top of the drainage ditch 40 has an opening, and the cover plate 402 covers the top of the drainage ditch 40 and seals the opening. By digging open the permeable tree pool 2 and opening the cover plate 402, the drainage ditch 40 can be exposed, which facilitates unblocking the drainage ditch 40 after it becomes clogged.

[0038] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the permeable tree pit 2 further includes an inspection pipe 203. The inspection pipe 203 is vertically arranged, with its bottom end penetrating through the pebble pit 20 and the cover plate 402 and extending into the drainage ditch 40, corresponding to the overflow outlet 401. A sealing cap 204 is detachably provided at the top of the inspection pipe 203. Specifically, the sealing cap 204 is threadedly connected to the inspection pipe 203. By opening the sealing cap 204, an external camera device can be inserted into the drainage ditch 40 through the inspection pipe 203 to inspect the drainage ditch 40 and the overflow outlet 401. This facilitates the determination of whether there is a blockage in the drainage ditch 40 and the overflow outlet 401 without digging up the permeable tree pit 2. It is understood that when the blockage is minor, the blockage can also be removed by inserting an external clamp into the drainage ditch 40 through the inspection pipe 203, facilitating the unblocking of the drainage ditch 40 without digging up the permeable tree pit 2.

[0039] Please see Figure 2 In one embodiment, the parking space 10 is inclined, with its lower end close to the pebble pit 20. The inclined arrangement of the parking space 10 facilitates the diversion of rainwater into the pebble pit 20, thereby improving rainwater collection and drainage efficiency. Specifically, the slope of the parking space 10 is 0.3% to 2%, a slope that effectively diverts rainwater without affecting vehicle parking and driving safety. It is understood that the upper end of the parking space 10 is close to the lane 100, so even if a vehicle rolls away from the parking space 10, it will not enter the lane 100, thus preventing accidents caused by vehicles rolling into the lane 100 and improving driving safety in the lane 100.

[0040] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, an open ditch 5 is provided at the lower end of the parking space 10 along the direction of the lane 100, connecting multiple sets of pebble pits 20. Specifically, the open ditch 5 is a linear open ditch. By setting the open ditch 5, the rainwater collected at the lower end of the parking space 10 can be better guided into the pebble pits 20, further improving drainage efficiency. Compared with traditional drainage ditches, rainwater inlets, covers, water grates and other ground structures that are easily crushed by vehicles, it can reduce maintenance costs, is not easy to clog, can be directly cleaned, is convenient for daily cleaning, and is simple to construct and has low cost.

[0041] Please see Figures 2 to 4In one embodiment, a curbstone 50 is provided around the perimeter of the pebble pit 20. The top surface of the curbstone 50 is higher than the bottom of the parking space 10. Both ends of the curbstone 50 have openings 501, through which the open ditch 5 communicates with the pebble pit 20. By setting the curbstone 50 to enclose the pebble pit 20 and the planting soil 202, the pebble pit 20 and the planting soil 202 can be stabilized, and at the same time, the pebbles and planting soil 202 can be prevented from being carried outside the curbstone 50.

[0042] The specific implementation method of the above-mentioned sponge parking lot is as follows:

[0043] By utilizing the corners of parking spaces 10 to set up permeable tree pits 2, the occupation of parking space by permeable tree pits 2 is reduced, meaning that more parking spaces 10 can be arranged within the same land area, thereby improving land utilization. It can be understood that the permeable tree pits 2 are located in the center of the four parking spaces 10, and the trees planted in the permeable tree pits 2 can provide shade for the adjacent four parking spaces 10, thereby increasing the shade rate of the trees on the parking area. On the other hand, the trees are relatively far away from the driveway 100, which can reduce the obstruction of the trees' view of the driveway 100, which is beneficial to traffic safety.

[0044] The permeable tree pit 2 structure, composed of pebble pit 20, permeable cloth 201, and planting soil 202, and the setting of the water collection pool 3, facilitates rainwater to flow into the pool body 30 for storage through the perforations on the pebble pit 20 and the top cover 301, thus achieving rainwater collection and utilization. It can be understood that when rainwater flows through the pebble pit 20, the pebble pit 20 can play a certain role in purifying the rainwater. When trees are planted in the permeable tree pit 2, as the tree roots grow and the root system has the characteristic of hydrotropism, the tree roots will penetrate through the permeable cloth 201, pebble pit 20, and perforations into the pool body 30 to obtain water, thereby effectively utilizing the rainwater stored in the pool body 30, thus reducing the operation and maintenance work of artificial irrigation. On the other hand, the water collection pool 3 can also serve as a drainage facility for the parking lot, thereby reducing the number of drainage facilities in the parking lot.

[0045] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and specification of this utility model.
