Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of geogrids, and more particularly to the field of geogrid side length reinforcement technology, specifically referring to a side length reinforced geogrid. Background Technology
[0002] Geogrids are a major type of geosynthetic material, possessing unique properties and functions compared to other geosynthetics. They are commonly used as reinforcement in reinforced soil structures or composite materials.
[0003] Geogrids are classified into four main categories: plastic geogrids, steel-plastic geogrids, fiberglass geogrids, and polyester warp-knitted geogrids. A geogrid is a two-dimensional mesh or a three-dimensional mesh screen with a certain height, made of polymers such as polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride through thermoplasticizing or molding. When used in civil engineering, it is called a geogrid.
[0004] Currently, common geogrids are composed of several quadrilateral units or several regular hexagonal units arranged in rows and columns. Reinforcing ribs are then placed inside the regular hexagonal or quadrilateral units to enhance the strength of the geogrid. For example, a double hexagonal reinforced geogrid with application number CN202122376284.2 is described. However, the internal hexagonal and regular hexagonal units are connected by reinforcing ribs. The strength is high at the endpoints of the regular hexagonal units, but there is no reinforcement for the side length of the hexagons, thus making the side length of the hexagons weak. Utility Model Content
[0005] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a side-strength reinforced geogrid, where the corners of the quadrilaterals are located on the four sides of the hexagons, thereby enhancing the strength of the side lengths of the regular hexagonal units.
[0006] This utility model is a side-length reinforced geogrid achieved through the following technical solution, comprising a plurality of regular hexagonal units arranged in rows and columns, and quadrilateral units located within the regular hexagonal units. The four corners of the quadrilateral units are respectively located on the four sides of the regular hexagonal units. The quadrilateral units are also provided with intersecting first reinforcing ribs that serve as the diagonals of a rectangle.
[0007] This invention places a quadrilateral unit inside a regular hexagonal unit, with the corners of the quadrilateral located on the four sides of the hexagon, thereby enhancing the strength of the sides of the regular hexagonal unit. At the same time, the setting of the first reinforcing rib further enhances the strength of the sides of the regular hexagonal unit, increases the stress strength at the corners of the quadrilateral, improves the locking effect, and also enhances the internal support strength of the quadrilateral.
[0008] Preferably, the quadrilateral unit is rectangular, with the long side of the quadrilateral unit extending laterally and the short side of the quadrilateral unit extending longitudinally. The regular hexagonal units arranged in rows intersect at the endpoints, and the two sides of the adjacent and laterally extending regular hexagonal units arranged in columns are collinear.
[0009] This preferred solution uses a rectangular shape, which is more stable under force than a quadrilateral and less prone to deformation. This avoids the quadrilateral from deforming too much and reducing the support strength inside the regular hexagonal unit. At the same time, the two sides of the quadrilateral unit directly strengthen the lateral strength, and the two sides directly strengthen the longitudinal strength.
[0010] Preferably, the corners of the quadrilateral unit are connected to the midpoints of the corresponding sides of the regular hexagonal unit. This preferred solution, by setting the midpoints, allows the quadrilateral unit to divide the regular hexagonal unit into two isosceles trapezoidal units symmetrically arranged about the quadrilateral unit, and two isosceles triangular units symmetrically arranged about the quadrilateral unit. Furthermore, the regular hexagonal unit is reinforced at the midpoint of its side length. The formation of the two isosceles trapezoidal units and the two isosceles triangular units enhances the stability of the regular hexagonal unit.
[0011] Preferably, four regular hexagonal units arranged circumferentially form a rhombus-shaped unit. The rhombus-shaped unit is provided with a second reinforcing rib that serves as the diagonal of the rhombus-shaped unit. Several longitudinally extending second reinforcing ribs are connected to the endpoints of two adjacent regular hexagons arranged laterally. Several laterally extending first reinforcing ribs are connected to the side lengths of two adjacent regular hexagonal units arranged longitudinally.
[0012] This preferred solution enhances the strength of the rhomboid unit by setting the second reinforcing rib, that is, enhances the strength of the four regular hexagonal units arranged circumferentially. At the same time, the longitudinally extending second reinforcing rib and the transversely extending second reinforcing rib also increase the transverse and longitudinal strength, enhance stability, and make the transverse and longitudinal force-bearing effect better.
[0013] Preferably, four regular hexagonal units arranged circumferentially form a rhombus-shaped unit, and the rhombus-shaped unit contains a rectangular unit, with the corners of the rectangular unit located on the four sides of the rhombus-shaped unit.
[0014] In use, this invention enhances the strength of the rhomboid unit by incorporating rectangular units.
[0015] Preferably, the corners of the rectangular unit and the corresponding corners of the quadrilateral unit intersect at the same point. This preferred embodiment further enhances the strength of the hexagonal unit's side length at its midpoint, and the two sides of the rectangular unit extend laterally and the two sides extend longitudinally. The laterally extending rectangular unit sides connect to the laterally extending sides of the quadrilateral unit, and the longitudinally extending rectangular unit sides connect to the longitudinally extending sides of the quadrilateral unit, thereby further improving the geogrid's stress strength in both the lateral and longitudinal directions.
[0016] Preferably, the four regular hexagonal units arranged circumferentially form a rhombus-shaped unit, and the rhombus-shaped unit is provided with a second reinforcing rib as the diagonal of the rhombus-shaped unit. The rhombus-shaped unit is provided with a rectangular unit, and the corners of the rectangular unit are respectively located on the four sides of the rhombus-shaped unit. The corners of the rectangular unit and the corresponding corners of the quadrilateral unit intersect at the same point.
[0017] This preferred embodiment enhances the strength of the rhomboid unit by combining the second reinforcing rib and the rectangular unit, thereby strengthening the four regular hexagonal units arranged circumferentially. At the same time, the longitudinally extending second reinforcing rib and the transversely extending second reinforcing rib also increase the transverse and longitudinal strength, enhancing stability and improving the transverse and longitudinal stress effect. The two sides of the rectangular unit extend laterally, and the two sides extend longitudinally. The transversely extending rectangular unit side connects to the transversely extending side of the quadrilateral unit, and the longitudinally extending rectangular unit side connects to the longitudinally extending side of the quadrilateral unit, thereby further improving the transverse and longitudinal stress strength of the geogrid.
[0018] Preferably, four regular hexagonal units arranged circumferentially form a rhombus-shaped unit, and the rhombus-shaped unit contains a rectangular unit, the corners of which are located on the four sides of the rhombus-shaped unit, and the rectangular unit contains a third reinforcing rib that serves as the diagonal of the rectangle.
[0019] This preferred solution enhances the strength of the rhomboid unit by setting a third reinforcing rib, which works in conjunction with the second reinforcing rib, and also enhances the strength of the side length of the regular hexagonal unit.
[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Placing a quadrilateral unit within a regular hexagonal unit, with the corners of the quadrilateral located on the four sides of the hexagon, enhances the strength of the hexagonal unit's sides. Simultaneously, the first reinforcing rib further strengthens the hexagonal unit's sides, increases the stress at the quadrilateral corners, improves the locking effect, and also enhances the internal support strength of the quadrilateral. The second reinforcing rib and the rectangular unit together strengthen the rhomboid unit, that is, enhance the strength of the four circumferentially arranged regular hexagonal units, while the longitudinally extending second reinforcing rib... The reinforcing ribs and the second reinforcing ribs extending laterally also increase the strength in both the lateral and longitudinal directions, enhancing stability and improving the stress distribution in both directions. The two sides of the rectangular unit extend laterally, and the two sides extend longitudinally. The laterally extending sides of the rectangular unit connect to the laterally extending sides of the quadrilateral unit, and the longitudinally extending sides of the rectangular unit connect to the longitudinally extending sides of the quadrilateral unit, thereby further improving the stress distribution of the geogrid in both the lateral and longitudinal directions. The third reinforcing rib, in conjunction with the second reinforcing rib, enhances the strength of the rhombic unit and also strengthens the side length of the regular hexagonal unit.

[0031] The quadrilateral unit is rectangular, and the four corners of the quadrilateral unit are located on the four sides of the regular hexagonal unit. Two sides of the quadrilateral unit extend horizontally, and two sides extend vertically.
[0032] The corner of the quadrilateral unit is located at the midpoint of the corresponding side length. At this time, the side length of the quadrilateral unit extending laterally is longer than the side length extending vertically. The quadrilateral unit divides the regular hexagonal unit into two isosceles trapezoidal units and two isosceles triangular units that are symmetrically arranged about the quadrilateral unit.
[0033] The quadrilateral unit also has intersecting first reinforcing ribs that serve as the diagonals of the rectangle. By placing the quadrilateral unit inside the regular hexagonal unit, with the corners of the quadrilateral located on the four sides of the hexagon, the strength of the sides of the regular hexagonal unit is enhanced. At the same time, the first reinforcing ribs further enhance the strength of the sides of the regular hexagonal unit, increase the stress strength at the corners of the quadrilateral, improve the locking effect, and also enhance the internal support strength of the quadrilateral.
