Abstract
Description
Planting device for greening trees on railway rock slopes Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of slope greening and planting technology, and relates to a planting device for greening seedlings on railway rock slopes. Background Technology
[0002] The construction of railways creates a large number of exposed soil slopes. These exposed soil slopes are prone to soil erosion, landslides, debris flows, and disruption of the food chain, causing great harm to the ecological environment.
[0003] A Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN204491631U describes a soil slope greening device, which includes a planting pot with a first hole at the bottom, a plant planted in the planting pot, at least one pair of limiting bands arranged on the outside of the planting pot and connected to each other, and a fixing ring arranged around the planting pot and the limiting bands. The limiting bands are respectively provided with a second hole and a locking block at both ends. A fixing anchor rod is provided in the second hole, with one end fixedly connected to the second hole. The fixing ring is located above the locking block, and the limiting band is fixed by locking the locking block through the fixing ring.
[0004] The existing technology has the following technical defects:
[0005] While the above-mentioned technical solutions are beneficial for planting greenery, the high-speed operation of railways will generate wind and stir up the greenery, which can easily cause it to tip over. In addition, it will also generate floating debris such as sand and gravel, which can damage the greenery and hinder its survival. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a planting device for greening seedlings on railway rock slopes.
[0007] The railway rock slope greening seedling planting device of this utility model includes a control system and a water storage tank and nutrient pots set in the slope geology. The water storage tank is connected to the nutrient pots through a water pump and watering pipes. Several columns are set on the ground around the nutrient pots. A mist collection component is set between two adjacent columns. A control box is set on the ground. The control box contains electrical components adapted to the control system. The control box is connected to the water pump.
[0008] Working process or working principle:
[0009] When using it, first dig pits for nutrient pots and water storage tanks on the rocky slope. Fill the nutrient pots with nutrient soil, then plant the saplings in the nutrient pots. After that, install pillars around the saplings, and install mist collection components between two adjacent pillars and connect them to the water storage tank. Connect the water pump to the electrical components in the control box. The control system can control the water pump to pump water from the water storage tank into the nutrient pots through the watering pipes to water the saplings.
[0010] The mist collection component includes an outer metal mesh and an inner metal mesh, with a mist collection net between them. A mist collection trough is located at the bottom of the mist collection net, which is connected to a water storage tank via an inlet pipe. The two columns are mechanically connected to fix the ends of the outer and inner metal mesh to the columns. The unfolded metal mesh can prevent floating debris brought up by railway traffic from affecting the saplings. Simultaneously, a mist collection net is installed inside the metal mesh to collect rainwater and mist into the water storage tank for use. The mist collection net is a fine polyethylene plastic mesh of a certain thickness.
[0011] The ground inside the column is covered with a vegetation metal mesh, and vegetation material is filled between the vegetation metal mesh and the ground. Drainage pipes are laid at the bottom of the vegetation material and connected to a water storage tank. Drainage pipes are laid in the open space between the sapling and the column and are inclined to facilitate the flow of water into the water storage tank. Filter components are also installed on the drainage pipes to prevent vegetation material and soil from clogging them. Grass seeds are sprayed on the vegetation metal mesh to solidify the soil around the sapling and increase the green area.
[0012] The planted metal mesh is fixed to the bottom surface by anchor bolts.
[0013] The nutrient pot is equipped with a humidity sensor, which is connected to the control system. The humidity sensor can monitor the soil moisture inside the nutrient pot, so that the control system can use a water pump to pump water from the water storage tank into the nutrient pot through the watering pipe to irrigate the seedlings in a timely manner.
[0014] The column is equipped with a supporting diagonal brace on its outer side to increase the support strength of the column and prevent it from tipping over.
[0015] The column is equipped with a solar panel, which is connected to the control system. The solar panel supplies power to the electrical components in the control box. The control box can have a built-in energy storage device to store the electricity generated by the solar panel for later use.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] This invention can effectively solve the problem of low survival rate of seedlings for greening rock slopes due to drought, and at the same time prevent floating objects generated along the railway line from affecting the growth of greenery, thus achieving the goal of greening seedlings around the railway.
