Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gabion cages, and more specifically, to a gabion cage structure. Background Technology
[0002] Gabion cages are box-shaped wire mesh cages made of heavy-duty hexagonal wire mesh, typically filled with stones, and used in various civil engineering projects to provide structural support and protection. Due to their economic efficiency, ease of construction, durability, and eco-friendliness, gabion cages are widely used in many fields, such as slope or roadbed protection, sand flushing protection, and water conservation in water conservancy projects.
[0003] Currently, the assembly process of gabion cages mostly involves binding the various meshes with steel wire. To ensure the stability of the cage structure, multiple layers often need to be wrapped before binding, making the operation quite cumbersome. Patent CN221072476U discloses a polyester gabion cage for river channels, which uses a combination of positioning rods and positioning tubes to connect and fix the meshes. This not only secures the top cover and the polyester gabion cage tightly but also fixes the polyester gabion cage to the river channel, improving structural stability and reliability. After the mesh is woven, it is cut according to the required specifications of the gabion cage. The edges of the cut mesh then require an edge-gripping operation, where the woven material, such as metal wire, is folded or rolled to increase edge strength and stability. The aforementioned patent's positioning tubes are not integrated with the edge-gripping operation. The process of setting up the positioning tubes and ensuring the connection stability between the positioning tubes and the meshes both increase the assembly time of the gabion cage. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a gabion mesh box structure that solves the problem that additional connecting parts can increase the assembly time of gabion mesh boxes when ensuring the stability of the connection between mesh bodies.

[0016] This utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0017] This invention improves the conventional steel wire or polyester used for edge gripping by replacing it with edge gripping rods. The connection between adjacent net bodies can be easily achieved through the cooperation of the edge gripping rods and connecting components, making the assembly operation more convenient and the box structure more stable. The connecting components are connected to the net body with the edge gripping rods, making the connection operation simple. After the connecting component is fitted onto one edge gripping rod and another edge gripping rod is inserted, the other edge gripping rod grips the net body under the limitation of the connecting component. This allows the relative position between the edge gripping rods and the net body to be correctly positioned when the net bodies are assembled into the box body without much adjustment during the edge gripping operation, thus avoiding the net body being pulled due to positional deviation.

Detailed Implementation
[0033] To make the objectives, methods, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the methods in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this utility model, but not all embodiments.
[0034] Example 1: As Figure 1-5 As shown, a gabion mesh structure includes: a mesh body 1, edge-holding rods 3, and connecting components 4. Each pair of adjacent woven sections 11 along the edge of the mesh body 1 forms an edge-holding group 12. The free ends of the woven sections 11 in the edge-holding group 12 are intertwined. Several mesh bodies 1 are connected to form a gabion body 2. The edge-holding groups 12 are wound around the edge-holding rods 3. The connecting components 4 are provided with at least a first through hole 411 and a second through hole 4211 through which adjacent edge-holding rods 3 pass. The edge-holding rods 3 of adjacent mesh bodies 1 are connected through the connecting components 4. There are an integer number of edge-holding groups 12 between adjacent connecting components 4.
[0035] In the specific implementation process, the woven body 11 can be made of metal or polyester. The weaving method of the woven body 11 used in the gabion mesh box is existing technology and can be referred to. Figure 4 The structure is woven. After cutting the mesh 1 according to the specifications of box 2, the edges of mesh 1 are as follows: Figure 2 As shown, at this point, the braided body 11 at the edge needs to be wrapped and fixed to the gripping rod 3 by gripping the edge. Before wrapping, several connecting components 4 are first fitted onto the gripping rod 3. The fitting positions can be either the first through hole 411 or the second through hole 4211. (Refer to...) Figure 3As shown, the ends of two braided strands 11 are wrapped together to form a gripping assembly 12, which is then wrapped around the gripping rod 3. After the first mesh 1 is gripped, the second gripping rod 3 is inserted into the current connecting component 4, and the braided strands 11 along the edge of the second mesh 1 are wrapped around the second gripping rod 3. Adjacent meshes 1 can be connected and assembled simultaneously during the gripping operation, making the operation simpler. Furthermore, after the connecting component 4 is fitted onto one gripping rod 3, another gripping rod 3 is inserted. The other gripping rod 3 grips the mesh 1 under the constraint of the connecting component 4, ensuring that the relative position of each mesh 1 is correctly positioned when assembled into the box 2 without excessive adjustment during the gripping operation, thus preventing positional deviations that could cause the mesh 1 to be pulled.
[0036] In this embodiment, to avoid the connecting component 4 obstructing the winding process of the gripping assembly 12, such as... Figure 3 As shown, there are no connecting components 4 between the gripping groups 12. The number of gripping groups 12 between the connecting components 4 is not limited in this case. The number of connecting components 4 on the gripping rod 3 is also not limited. It can be set according to the actual specifications of the box 2. The connecting components 4 can be distributed at equal intervals.
[0037] Example 2: To better ensure the connection stability between the connecting assembly 4 and the gripping rod 3, improvements were made based on Example 1, such as... Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, either the first through hole 411 or the second through hole 4211 is provided with an internal thread; only one of the gripping rods 3 on opposite sides of the mesh body 1 is threadedly connected to the connecting assembly 4.
[0038] In specific implementation, if the gripping rod 3 can rotate or slide within the first through hole 411 or the second through hole 4211, the relative positions of the connecting component 4 and the gripping rod 3, and the relative positions of adjacent connecting components 4, are difficult to fix. Therefore, this embodiment provides an internal thread, and an external thread that mates with the internal thread is provided on the gripping rod 3. The threaded connection ensures the positional stability between the connecting component 4 and the gripping rod 3. In addition, to facilitate the connection of the two gripping rods 3 and the connecting component 4, this embodiment only provides an internal thread in one through hole. When the connecting component 4 is connected to the first gripping rod 3, a threaded connection is used, and the connection operation can be achieved by rotating the connecting component 4. When it is necessary to connect the second gripping rod 3, since the rotating component cannot rotate, but rotating the longer gripping rod 3 is also more complicated, the other through hole in this embodiment does not have an internal thread, and the second gripping rod 3 is movably inserted through the connecting component 4.
[0039] To prevent the second gripping rod 3 from sliding freely, in this embodiment, one of the gripping rods 3 on both sides of the same mesh body 1 is threadedly connected to the connecting component 4, and the other is movably connected to the connecting component 4. The limiting of the threaded connection end reduces the sliding of the mesh body 1 during assembly.
[0040] Example 3: To facilitate the installation of the second edge-holding rod 3 and the adjacent net body 1, improvements were made based on Example 2, such as... Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the connecting component 4 includes: a connecting cylinder 41 and a connecting body 42; the cylinder hole of the connecting cylinder 41 is a first through hole 411; the connecting body 42 is provided with a receiving hole, the connecting cylinder 41 is located in the receiving hole and is rotatably connected to the connecting body 42; the central axis of the receiving hole is on the same straight line as the central axis of the connecting cylinder 41, and the connecting body 42 is provided with a second through hole 4211.
[0041] In practice, after the connecting component 4 is connected to the first gripping rod 3, the angles of each connecting component 4 and the gripping rod 3 are difficult to be completely consistent. Furthermore, when inserting the second gripping rod 3, it is necessary to rotate the connecting component 4. If the structure of the connecting component 4 is as follows... Figure 5 As shown, when the connecting assembly 4 is rotated, the connecting assembly 4 and the first gripping rod 3 will undergo relative displacement, resulting in uneven distribution of the connecting assembly 4, and its movement may even be hindered by the gripping assembly 12. Therefore, this embodiment provides a solution as follows: Figure 6 The connecting assembly 4 shown has a structure in which the connecting cylinder 41 and the connecting body 42 can rotate relative to each other. That is, when inserting the second gripping rod 3, only the connecting body 42 needs to be rotated; the connecting cylinder 41 does not rotate, so there is no relative displacement between the connecting assembly 4 and the first gripping rod 3. An annular groove can be provided in the receiving hole of the connecting body 42, and a slider can be provided on the outer wall of the connecting cylinder 41. The rotational connection between the connecting body 42 and the connecting cylinder 41 is achieved through the cooperation of the groove and the slider. During the assembly of adjacent mesh bodies 1 into the box body 2, the included angle between adjacent mesh bodies 1 can also be finely adjusted through the connecting body 42.
[0042] Example 4: To facilitate the connection between the first gripping rod 3 and the connecting assembly 4, improvements were made based on Example 3, such as... Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the second through hole 4211 is provided with an internal thread.
[0043] In the specific implementation process, if an internal thread is provided in the connecting cylinder 41, that is, the first gripping rod 3 is connected to the connecting cylinder 41, it is difficult to connect the connecting assembly 4 to the gripping rod 3 by rotating the connecting assembly 4 because the connecting cylinder 41 and the connecting body 42 can rotate relative to each other. Therefore, in this embodiment, an internal thread is provided in the second through hole 4211. At this time, when connecting the first gripping rod 3, the rotation of the connecting assembly 4 is in an eccentric state, and the threaded connection can be achieved by rotating the connecting body 42 around the central axis of the second through hole 4211.
[0044] Example 5: To facilitate the connection of adjacent boxes 2, improvements were made based on Example 4, such as... Figure 7As shown, in this embodiment, the connecting component 4 includes: a connecting tenon 43 and a connecting mortise 44. The connecting body 42 of the connecting tenon 43 is provided with a protrusion 431, and the length direction of the protrusion 431 is consistent with the length direction of the connecting body 42. The connecting mortise 44 is provided with a groove 441 that cooperates with the protrusion 431. Adjacent gabion cages are connected by the cooperation of the connecting tenon 43 and the connecting mortise 44.
[0045] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 13 As shown, gabion baskets are often used in conjunction with other gabion baskets to form a protective zone. The relative positional control between gabion baskets is achieved through the engagement of tenons 43 and mortises 44. For example, a tenon 43 is installed on one edge of one gabion basket, and a mortise 44 is installed on the corresponding edge of another gabion basket. Inserting the tenon 43 into the mortise 44 connects the two gabion baskets. When gabion baskets are laid horizontally, adjacent baskets are connected by the connecting components 4 on the vertical edges. When gabion baskets are stacked vertically, adjacent baskets are connected by the connecting components 4 on the horizontal edges.
[0046] Example 6: To better achieve the limiting effect between adjacent gabion cages, improvements were made based on Example 5, such as... Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the width of the connecting end of the protrusion 431 is smaller than the width of the end of the protrusion 431 away from the connecting cylinder 41.
[0047] In specific implementation, the cross-section of the protrusion 431 can be set as follows: Figure 7 The trapezoidal shape shown. The engagement of the protrusion 431 and the groove 441 prevents relative displacement of the two connecting components 4 in the diameter direction of the connecting cylinder 41.
[0048] Example 7: To facilitate the connection between adjacent gabion cages, improvements were made based on Example 5, such as... Figure 8-9 As shown, in this embodiment, the connecting body 42 includes a rotating cylinder 421 and a connecting seat 422. The connecting cylinder 41 is housed in the rotating cylinder 421, and the rotating cylinder 421 is rotatably connected to the connecting cylinder 421. The second through hole 4211 is provided in the rotating cylinder 421. The connecting seat 422 has an opening, and the rotating cylinder 421 is housed in the opening. The rotating cylinder 421 is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 422. The connecting seat 422 is provided with the protrusion 431 or the groove 441.
[0049] In the specific implementation process, when connecting adjacent boxes 2 using the connecting tenon 43 and connecting mortise 44, if the following is adopted... Figure 7As shown in the structure, when adjacent protrusions 431 or grooves 441 are not aligned, the connecting body 42 needs to be rotated, which may cause the mesh body 1 to be pulled. Therefore, in this embodiment, the connecting body 42 is set as two parts, which are connected by a rotating cylinder 421 and a gripping rod 3. The rotating cylinder 421 realizes the adjustment of the position of the protrusions 431 or grooves 441 so as to connect adjacent boxes 2.
[0050] When connecting the grip bar 3, it can be as follows: Figure 10 As shown in the left figure, first install the connecting component 4 onto the first gripping rod 3, and then pass the second gripping rod 3 through the connecting cylinder 41.
[0051] Example 8: To stabilize the adjustment angle of the rotating cylinder 421, improvements were made based on Example 7, such as... Figure 11 As shown, in this embodiment, a damping sleeve 5 is provided between the rotating cylinder 421 and the connecting seat 422. The damping sleeve 5 is made of elastic material and is in a compressed state. The damping sleeve 5 is connected to the rotating cylinder 421 or the connecting seat 422.
[0052] In the specific implementation process, since multiple connecting components 4 are provided on the same gripping rod 3, the connecting seat 422 should not rotate automatically after adjusting the position of the protrusion 431 or the groove 441. Therefore, this embodiment is provided with a damping sleeve 5 to maintain the angle of the connecting seat 422.
[0053] Example 9: In order to increase the structural strength of the gabion cage, an improvement was made based on Examples 1-8. In this example, the mesh body 1 is woven from aluminum-clad steel, and the thickness of the aluminum layer is 1 / 5 to 1 / 3 of the diameter of the steel core.
[0054] In specific implementation, the braided body 11 of the mesh 1 typically uses galvanized steel wire, Galfan steel wire, plastic-coated steel wire, and aluminum-zinc-5% mixed rare earth alloy steel wire. In this embodiment, to increase the structural strength and corrosion resistance of the gabion mesh, aluminum-clad steel is used. Aluminum-clad steel is a composite product with a layer of aluminum clad on top of steel material, usually in the form of round wire, i.e., a round steel wire with a layer of aluminum wrapped around its surface. Aluminum-clad steel has advantages such as higher strength, better corrosion resistance, and superior electrical performance compared to galvanized steel wire. Since threads need to be installed on the edge-holding rod 3, the aluminum layer needs to be of a certain thickness. Furthermore, a thicker aluminum layer provides better corrosion resistance for the gabion mesh, especially since gabion mesh is used outdoors and often in humid environments such as riverbanks, where the requirements for corrosion resistance are even higher.
[0055] Example 10: To increase the strength of the thread, improvements were made based on Example 9, such as... Figure 12 As shown, in this embodiment, the grip bar 3 includes: a plurality of aluminum-clad steel sections 31 and threaded sections 32, with adjacent aluminum-clad steel sections 31 connected to each other through the threaded sections 32.
[0056] In the specific implementation process, threads are set through the aluminum layer. However, due to the insufficient hardness of aluminum, the strength of the threads is not high enough. Therefore, this embodiment includes an aluminum-clad steel section 31 and a threaded section 32. The threaded section 32 can use conventional steel wire to ensure thread strength, while the aluminum-clad steel section 31 ensures the corrosion resistance of the housing 2. Since the threaded section 32 is mostly hidden within the first through hole 411 or the second through hole 4211 of the connecting component 4, its corrosion resistance requirements are lower than those of the exposed aluminum-clad steel section 31. Therefore, using conventional steel has little impact on the overall corrosion resistance of the housing 2. The connection between the aluminum-clad steel section 31 and the threaded section 32 can be achieved by welding or other methods. Figure 12 As shown, it is threadedly connected to the steel core of the aluminum-clad steel through the threaded section 32.
[0057] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
