Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mine ecological restoration technology, and in particular to a mine ecological restoration slope protection structure. Background Technology

[0002] After mining operations, the remaining mine slopes often cause ecological problems such as soil erosion and landslides. This not only threatens the safety and stability of the surrounding environment but also makes it difficult to reuse mine land resources. Mine ecological restoration slope protection structures have emerged to address this need. Their main function is to reinforce and protect mine slopes through effective engineering methods and ecological measures, while simultaneously creating favorable conditions for vegetation growth and promoting the restoration and reconstruction of the ecosystem.

[0003] Currently, although some ecological restoration slope protection devices have appeared on the market, they still have many shortcomings in practical applications. Taking a patent document for an ecological restoration slope protection device with publication number CN221681862U as an example, although it has certain ecological restoration functions, it also exposes some key problems. On the one hand, the water tank of this device is located below the planting area. When external water flows in, it needs to pass through a multi-layer filtration structure before entering the water tank. This makes the water collection process cumbersome and lengthy, greatly reducing the water collection efficiency. Especially during periods of concentrated rainfall, it is impossible to collect rainwater quickly and effectively, resulting in a large amount of water resources being wasted and failing to provide timely and sufficient water replenishment for the slope protection vegetation. On the other hand, the speed of air flow on the liquid surface has a significant impact on evaporation efficiency. However, the water tank of this device is also located below the planting area, with extremely poor internal air flow, making it difficult for the water in the tank to move smoothly into the planting area. This easily leads to the water pipe being in a closed state, making it impossible to achieve normal irrigation of the vegetation, thereby affecting the growth and development of the vegetation and hindering the long-term stable operation and ecological function of the mine ecological restoration slope protection structure.

[0004] In summary, the aforementioned defects in existing mine ecological restoration slope protection structures severely restrict their effectiveness and promotional value in practical applications. How to improve these defects has become a pressing technical problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0015] Each water storage tank is embedded in the planting area in a corresponding manner. The water storage tank is connected to the bottom of the water collection tank via an inlet pipe, allowing water from the water collection tank to be introduced into the water storage tank through the inlet pipe.

[0016] One end is inserted into the water storage tank, and the other end is connected to a capillary tube in the planting area.

[0017] Furthermore, the water storage mechanism also includes an overflow pipe, one end of which is connected to the water storage tank, and the other end of which is connected to the water inlet trough, and the other end of which is lower than the first end of the overflow pipe.

[0018] Furthermore, the water storage tanks are arranged one-to-one below the water collection tanks, and the water in the water collection tanks can flow into the water storage tanks through the water inlet pipes under their own gravity.

[0034] 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.

[0035] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0036] Reference Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a slope protection structure for ecological restoration in mines, including a slope protection 1, a planting area 2, a water diversion channel 3, a water collection tank 4, and a water storage mechanism.

[0037] Slope protection 1 is installed on the mine slope and is divided into several regularly spaced planting areas 2. These planting areas 2 are isolated from each other, providing independent zones for vegetation planting. A water channel 3 is installed on the surface of slope protection 1, running through it to collect and guide rainwater and other water bodies, preventing water from flowing arbitrarily on the slope and causing soil erosion. The water channel 3 is a concave, elongated strip structure with a certain slope to allow water to flow smoothly. A water collection tank 4 is embedded in the water channel 3 to collect the water flowing through it. The water collection tank 4 is a box structure with a certain volume, and a detachable screen plate 5 is connected to the top. The screen plate 5 is flush with the surface of the water channel 3, and the surface has evenly distributed screen holes 6. The screen holes 6 can intercept larger debris without obstructing water flow. The water collection tank 4 is made of high-strength engineering plastic, which is corrosion-resistant and has a long service life.

[0038] The planting area 2 is surrounded by inverted U-shaped edging stones 7, including an arc-shaped edging stone and two longitudinal edging stones. The arc-shaped edging stone is located above the planting area 2, and the two longitudinal edging stones are located on both sides. A water channel 3 is formed between the edging stones 7 of two horizontally adjacent planting areas 2. The edging stones 7 are made of reinforced concrete, which has high strength and stability. A water collection tank 4 is located between the adjacent longitudinal edging stones of two horizontally adjacent planting areas 2 to facilitate the collection of water guided by the water channel 3.

[0039] Combined with reference Figure 4-5The water storage mechanism includes water tanks 8 and capillary tubes. Each water tank 8 is embedded in the planting area 2, located at the center of the bottom of the planting area 2. The water tanks 8 are connected to the bottom of the collection tank 4 via inlet pipes 9. Water in the collection tank 4 flows into the water tanks 8 through the inlet pipes 9 under its own weight. The water tanks 8 are sealed structures, with an inlet at the top of the side wall connected to the inlet pipes 9, and an outlet at the top connected to the capillary tubes.

[0040] The water storage mechanism also includes an overflow pipe 10. One end of the overflow pipe 10 is connected to the water storage tank 8 and is located on the upper side of the water storage tank 8. The other end is connected to the water inlet channel 3, and the other end of the overflow pipe 10 is lower than the first end. When the water level in the water storage tank 8 exceeds the set height, the excess water flows back to the water inlet channel 3 through the overflow pipe 10 to prevent excessive water accumulation in the water storage tank 8.

[0041] The capillary tube includes a delivery pipe 11 and absorbent cotton thread 12. One end of the delivery pipe 11 is inserted into the water storage tank 8, and the other end is connected to the planting area 2. Permeable holes are evenly distributed on its surface. These permeable holes allow water to permeate evenly into the soil of the planting area 2. The absorbent cotton thread 12, made of highly absorbent cotton, is threaded inside the delivery pipe 11. It has excellent water absorption and conductivity, and can transport water from the water storage tank 8 to the planting area 2 through capillary action. Filter cotton 13 is installed at the permeable holes to effectively intercept soil particles, prevent clogging of the permeable holes, and ensure normal water delivery.

[0042] The capillary mechanism works by utilizing capillary action. When water in the storage tank 8 flows into the delivery pipe 11 through the inlet pipe 9, the absorbent cotton thread 12 absorbs the water and permeates it outwards. The water is then evenly released into the soil of the planting area 2 through the permeable holes, providing the necessary moisture for the plant roots. The filter cotton 13 performs preliminary filtration of the water, preventing impurities from clogging the permeable holes and ensuring smooth water delivery. This water supply method simulates natural rainfall, allowing water to permeate evenly into the soil, which is beneficial for plant root absorption, promotes plant growth, and enhances the ecological restoration effect of the mine.

[0043] A confluence channel 14 is installed at the bottom of the slope protection 1, with its opening facing upwards and connected to the water diversion channel 3. The confluence channel 14 is a rectangular channel with a large volume, which collects water that is not collected by the water collection tank 4, preventing water from accumulating at the bottom of the slope and causing erosion. The confluence channel 14 is connected to the drainage system to discharge water in an orderly manner, further protecting the structural stability of the slope protection 1.

[0044] The working principle of this mine ecological restoration slope protection structure is as follows: A slope protection structure 1 is constructed on the mine slope, dividing it into multiple planting areas 2 for vegetation. A water channel 3 is installed on the surface of the slope protection 1 to collect and guide rainwater and other water bodies. A water collection tank 4 is embedded in the water channel 3, and water is collected through a sieve plate 5. The collected water flows into a storage tank 8 via an inlet pipe 9. Water in the storage tank 8 is slowly released into the planting areas 2 through capillary tubes, providing continuous moisture for the plants. An overflow pipe 10 prevents excess water from flowing back into the water channel 3 from the storage tank 8. A confluence channel 14 collects water from the bottom of the slope and discharges it. The entire structure effectively collects and utilizes water, reduces soil erosion, and provides favorable conditions for mine ecological restoration.

[0045] This invention achieves effective collection, storage and slow release of water by rationally setting up the slope protection 1, water diversion channel 3, water collection tank 4 and water storage mechanism, thereby reducing soil erosion and improving the ecological restoration effect of mines. It has broad application prospects and significant ecological benefits.
