Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a drainage ditch, specifically an improved modular drainage ditch, mainly used for drainage management in areas with complex construction conditions, such as small watersheds and mountainous areas, and belongs to the technical field of construction drainage equipment. Background Technology
[0002] As is well known, drainage ditches refer to ditches that divert water collected in low-lying areas near roadbeds, farmland, and residences to areas outside the roadbed, farmland, and residences. Drainage ditch design is based on the layout and engineering standards of drainage systems, determining the depth and spacing of field drainage ditches, and analyzing and calculating the flow rate, water level, cross-sectional dimensions, and engineering quantities of drainage ditches and structures at all levels. Drainage ditches are generally laid at both ends or the lower end of slope intercepting ditches to remove surface runoff that cannot be contained by the intercepting ditches. The end of the drainage ditch connects to a reservoir or natural drainage channel.
[0003] Currently, the most common drainage ditches are usually made of concrete. Construction is extensive, costly, and heavy, making installation time-consuming, labor-intensive, and demanding. In mountain irrigation canal construction, the lack of accessible roads forces materials to be transported manually. If self-mixed concrete is used, obtaining raw materials such as sand, gravel, and cement becomes extremely difficult; even with commercial concrete, it's impossible to transport it to the construction site. Under these circumstances, the construction and installation of the ditches becomes a major challenge.
[0004] Precast concrete ditches offer numerous advantages, particularly suitable for complex construction conditions in small watersheds and mountainous areas. However, existing precast concrete ditches suffer from complex shapes and structures, are difficult to manufacture, time-consuming and labor-intensive to process, resulting in material waste. Furthermore, they are not lightweight enough during processing, making transportation and installation time-consuming and labor-intensive. Large gaps also exist between adjacent drainage ditch components during assembly, leading to poor drainage performance and a tendency for displacement. In short, they are often quite inconvenient.
[0005] Therefore, the key to solving the above-mentioned technical problems lies in developing an improved, modular drainage ditch that is easy to construct and highly practical. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the numerous defects and shortcomings in the aforementioned background technology, this utility model has made improvements and innovations. The aim is to provide a U-shaped drainage ditch design that is simple in construction, novel and reasonable in design, and employs a snap-fit assembly method. This design features a high degree of prefabrication, requiring only assembly during on-site construction without the need for complex concrete pouring processes. This significantly saves construction time and labor, and allows for individual replacement, avoiding the dismantling and repair of the entire drainage system. This results in lower maintenance costs, recyclability, and resource conservation. Furthermore, the fit between the snap-fit groove and the snap-fit part ensures a tight connection between the drainage ditches, providing good stability and preventing displacement or loosening due to external forces or temperature changes during use. This effectively avoids water seepage or leakage at the connection points, maintains the sealing of the drainage system, and ensures smooth drainage.
[0007] To solve the above problems and achieve the above-mentioned invention objectives, this utility model provides an improved modular drainage ditch by adopting the following technical solution:
[0008] As an improvement to the modular drainage ditch of this utility model, it includes a drainage ditch body (1), which includes two structures, one of which includes:

[0010] The first limiting wing plate (12) extends outward and is connected to the upper side of the U-shaped drainage ditch component (11);
[0011] The second limiting wing plate (13) extends outward and connects to the other side of the upper part of the U-shaped drainage ditch component (11);
[0012] Another type of drainage ditch body (1) also includes:
[0013] The snap-fit groove (14) is provided at one end of the U-shaped drainage ditch component (11);
[0014] The snap-fit part (15) is connected to the other end of the U-shaped drainage ditch component (11).
[0015] As an improvement of the present invention, the U-shaped drainage ditch components (11) are laid and installed in a row in sequence, and a filler is filled or poured between two adjacent U-shaped drainage ditch components (11).
[0016] As a further improvement of the present invention, the filler is adhesive concrete, which is filled at the connection between two adjacent U-shaped drainage ditch components (11).
[0017] As a further improvement of the present invention, the U-shaped drainage ditch component (11) is a one-piece structure cast from concrete.
[0018] As a further improvement of the present invention, the overall shape and structure of the first limiting wing plate (12) and the second limiting wing plate (13) are the same or different.
[0019] As a further improvement of the present invention, the first limiting wing plate (12) extends from one end edge of the upper side of the U-shaped drainage ditch component (11) along the length direction to the other end edge of the upper side of the U-shaped drainage ditch component (11).
[0020] The second limiting wing plate (13) extends from one end edge of the upper part of the U-shaped drainage ditch component (11) along the length direction of the other side to the other end edge of the upper part of the U-shaped drainage ditch component (11).
[0021] As a further improvement of the present invention, the snap-fit groove (14) is a U-shaped groove, which is opened at the middle of one end of the U-shaped drainage ditch component (11);
[0022] The snap-fit groove (14) engages with the snap-fit part (15) on the adjacent U-shaped drainage ditch component (11).
[0023] As a further improvement of the present invention, the snap-fit part (15) is a U-shaped protrusion, which is connected to the middle of the other end of the U-shaped drainage ditch component (11);
[0024] The snap-fit part (15) engages with the snap-fit groove (14) on the adjacent U-shaped drainage ditch component (11).
[0025] As a further improvement of the present invention, the snap-fit part (15) and the U-shaped drainage ditch component (11) are processed into an integral structure.
[0026] As a further improvement of the present invention, an injection molding layer, an anti-rust layer, a waterproof layer and a warning layer are sequentially provided on the outer surface of the drainage ditch body (1) from the inside to the outside, and the warning layer is coated with fluorescent powder.
[0027] In terms of working principle: Before using the above-mentioned modular improved drainage ditch, the construction personnel only need to use appropriate handling equipment to transport a reasonable number of the improved drainage ditches of this utility model design to the designated construction location for installation.
[0028] Before installation, the construction personnel only need to excavate a trench at the location where the drainage ditch needs to be built. The size of the trench is determined according to the shape and size of the drainage ditch body (1) of this utility model. After the excavation is completed, this utility model can be installed.
[0029] During installation, the construction personnel only need to assemble the pre-prepared drainage ditch bodies (1) into a whole in a row in the excavated trench according to the construction requirements. Adjacent drainage ditch bodies (1) are joined together by filling with adhesive concrete or by directly engaging the corresponding end slots (14) and engaging parts (15) to form a single structure. Subsequently, to make the U-shaped drainage ditch component (11) of this utility model more stable and reliable in use, the construction personnel also need to... Filler material (2) should be filled or poured on the upper part of each installed first limiting wing plate (12) and second limiting wing plate (13). The filler material (2) is soil or concrete, so that the filler material (2) completely covers the entire first limiting wing plate (12) and second limiting wing plate (13). The installation of other drainage ditch bodies (1) is completed according to the above method. After the installation is completed, curing can be carried out. After curing, the filler material (2) filled on the upper part of the first limiting wing plate (12) and second limiting wing plate (13) is qualified, it can be used.
[0030] In use, rainwater or irrigation water flows through the long drainage ditch of this utility model and finally into a reservoir or natural drainage channel, thus completing the drainage work of this utility model.
[0031] Throughout the entire implementation process described above, the periphery of the U-shaped drainage ditch component (11) is filled and wrapped with filler material (2).
[0032] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0033] 1. This utility model has a simple structure and a novel and reasonable design. It adopts a snap-fit U-shaped drainage ditch design with a high degree of prefabrication. On-site construction only requires assembly and does not require a complicated concrete pouring process. On the one hand, it can greatly save construction time and labor. On the other hand, it can be replaced individually, avoiding the dismantling and repair of the entire drainage system, resulting in low maintenance costs. It is recyclable and helps to save resources. At the same time, the cooperation between the snap-fit groove and the snap-fit part can ensure a tight connection between the drainage ditches, providing good stability and preventing the drainage ditches from shifting or loosening due to external forces or temperature changes during use. It can effectively avoid water seepage or leakage at the connection, maintain the sealing of the drainage system, and ensure smooth drainage.
[0034] 2. The U-shaped drainage ditch design adopted in this utility model can generally ensure better drainage effect, reduce water accumulation and soil erosion problems, and help protect the safety of roads and the surrounding environment;
[0035] 3. The design of the snap-fit groove and snap-fit part of this utility model makes the connection between drainage ditches very convenient. Construction workers can complete the connection through simple snap-fit operation without additional tools or complicated construction process, thereby saving installation time and labor costs.
[0036] 4. The fit between the snap-fit groove and the snap-fit part of this utility model can ensure a tight connection between the drainage ditches, provide better stability, prevent the drainage ditches from shifting or loosening due to external forces or temperature changes during use, and effectively avoid water seepage or leakage at the connection, maintain the sealing of the drainage system, ensure smooth drainage, and prevent water overflow or soil erosion.
[0037] 5. This utility model utilizes prefabricated drainage ditches, ensuring strong quality control. Prefabricated ditches are produced in factory or standardized facilities, allowing for strict adherence to design specifications and precise control over concrete mix proportions, vibration processes, and other aspects. This ensures the components have a smooth, flat appearance, free from cracks, honeycomb textures, and other quality defects, with minimal dimensional deviations. Furthermore, each batch of components has a complete strength report for traceability, laying a solid foundation for the overall quality of the project.
[0038] 6. This utility model offers convenient and efficient construction. In mountainous areas with inconvenient transportation and difficult material transport, traditional on-site pouring of ditches faces the challenge of getting sand, gravel, and cement to the site. Precast ditches, however, can be custom-made in advance, with finished components transported to the construction site as needed. They can be flexibly integrated with small handcarts, specially designed simple rail transport vehicles, and other simple transport equipment, allowing for easy movement along mountain paths, significantly shortening the construction cycle, reducing on-site wet work time, and minimizing the impact of weather and other external factors on the construction progress.
[0039] 7. This utility model has good adaptability. The mountainous terrain is undulating and varied. The segmented design of the prefabricated ditch can be flexibly spliced and assembled according to the results of on-site measurement and layout. By adjusting the width of the expansion joint between adjacent segments, it can effectively adapt to different slopes and foundation settlement changes, ensuring the overall structural stability of the ditch and closely conforming to the complex mountainous terrain.
[0040] 8. This utility model is environmentally friendly and energy-saving. Compared with the dust and noise pollution that may be caused by mixing a large amount of concrete on site, the prefabricated trench is prefabricated in the factory or centralized site, which reduces on-site construction pollution. In addition, the waste and surplus materials in the prefabrication process are easier to be centrally processed and recycled, which is in line with the concept of environmental protection. At the same time, the precise component manufacturing also reduces material waste and achieves energy saving and consumption reduction.
[0041] 9. This utility model offers convenient post-construction maintenance. In case of localized damage, the prefabricated ditch only requires replacement of the corresponding segment, eliminating the need for extensive rework. The installation of auxiliary facilities such as inspection wells and water distribution outlets is standardized and easy to inspect, enabling rapid troubleshooting and resolution of problems, reducing operation and maintenance costs, and ensuring the long-term stable operation of the ditch.
[0042] 10. The exterior of this utility model is coated with anti-rust paint and a waterproof layer, which can prevent rusting and extend the service life of the entire drainage ditch. It is environmentally friendly and saves resources. At the same time, the exterior of the drainage ditch is coated with a self-luminous fluorescent material, which can clearly mark the location of the drainage ditch at night or in dark indoor or underground construction environments. It can effectively play a safety warning role, improve visibility, make it easy for people to identify, and increase safety in construction and life. Attached Figure Description

[0057] To make the technical means, inventive features, objectives, and effects of this utility model readily understandable, the technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. The present utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0058] In summary, a more specific embodiment of this utility model is as follows:
[0059] Example 1
[0060] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an improved modular drainage ditch includes a drainage ditch body 1, characterized in that the drainage ditch body 1 comprises two structures, one of which includes:
[0061] U-shaped drainage ditch component 11;
[0062] The first limiting wing plate 12 extends outward and is connected to one side of the upper part of the U-shaped drainage ditch component 11;
[0063] The second limiting wing plate 13 extends outward and connects to the other side of the upper part of the U-shaped drainage ditch component 11.
[0064] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the U-shaped drainage ditch components 11 are laid and installed in a row from end to end in sequence, and the space between two adjacent U-shaped drainage ditch components 11 is filled or poured with filler.
[0065] Specifically, the filler is adhesive concrete, which is used to fill the connection between two adjacent U-shaped drainage ditch components 11.
[0066] Specifically, the U-shaped drainage ditch component 11 is a one-piece structure cast from concrete.
[0067] Specifically, the overall shape and structure of the first limiting wing plate 12 and the second limiting wing plate 13 may be the same or different.
[0068] In this utility model, the first wing plate 12 and the second wing plate 13 have the same shape, structure and length, and are used for straight laying; the first wing plate 12 and the second wing plate 13 have different lengths and are used for curved laying.
[0069] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first limiting wing plate 12 extends from one end edge along the length direction of the upper side of the U-shaped drainage ditch component 11 to the other end edge along the length direction of the upper side of the U-shaped drainage ditch component 11.
[0070] The second limiting wing plate 13 extends from one end edge along the length direction of the upper part of the U-shaped drainage ditch component 11 to the other end edge along the length direction of the upper part of the U-shaped drainage ditch component 11.
[0071] Before using the modular improved drainage ditch designed in Embodiment 1, construction personnel only need to transport a reasonable number of the improved drainage ditches of this utility model design to the designated construction location for installation using appropriate handling equipment.
[0072] Before installation, the construction workers only need to excavate a trench at the location where the drainage ditch needs to be built. The size of the trench is determined according to the shape and size of the drainage ditch body 1 of this utility model. After the excavation is completed, this utility model can be installed.
[0073] During installation, the construction personnel only need to assemble the pre-prepared multiple drainage ditch bodies 1 into a single unit in a row within the excavated trench, according to the construction requirements and standards. A filler material, which is adhesive concrete, is poured or filled at the connection points between adjacent drainage ditch bodies 1 to ensure a tight connection between them. Subsequently, to make the U-shaped drainage ditch component 11 more stable and reliable in use, the construction personnel also need to fill or pour filler material 2, which is soil or concrete, onto the upper parts of each installed first limiting wing plate 12 and second limiting wing plate 13, ensuring that the filler material 2 completely covers the entire first limiting wing plate 12 and second limiting wing plate 13. Following the above method, the installation of other drainage ditch bodies 1 is completed. After installation, curing can begin. Curing continues until the adhesive concrete filling between adjacent drainage ditch bodies 1 is satisfactory and the filler material 2 filling the upper parts of the first limiting wing plates 12 and second limiting wing plates 13 is properly cured before use.
[0074] In use, rainwater or irrigation water flows through the long drainage ditch of this utility model and finally into a reservoir or natural drainage channel, thus completing the drainage work of this utility model.
[0075] Example 2
[0076] like Figures 6 to 9 As shown, this embodiment 2 is the same as embodiment 1, except that the drainage ditch body 1 of the other structure also includes:
[0077] The snap-fit groove 14 is provided at one end of the U-shaped drainage ditch component 11;
[0078] The snap-fit part 15 is connected to the other end of the U-shaped drainage ditch component 11.
[0079] Specifically, such as Figures 7 to 8 As shown, the snap-fit groove 14 is generally a U-shaped groove, which is opened at the middle of one end of the U-shaped drainage ditch component 11;
[0080] The snap-fit groove 14 engages with the snap-fit part 15 on the adjacent U-shaped drainage ditch component 11.
[0081] Specifically, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown. The snap-fit part 15 is a U-shaped protrusion, which is connected to the middle of the other end of the U-shaped drainage ditch component 11;
[0082] The snap-fit part 15 engages with the snap-fit groove 14 on the adjacent U-shaped drainage ditch component 11.
[0083] More specifically, such as Figure 8 As shown, the snap-fit part 15 and the U-shaped drainage ditch component 11 are processed into an integral structure.
[0084] In use, it is the same as in Example 1. The only difference is that during installation, the operator only needs to connect two adjacent U-shaped drainage ditch components 11 into a whole by engaging the corresponding snap-fit groove 14 and snap-fit part 15. Therefore, the design of the snap-fit groove and snap-fit part makes the connection between drainage ditches very convenient. Construction personnel can complete the connection through a simple snap-fit operation without additional tools or complicated construction procedures, thereby saving installation time and labor costs. Moreover, the cooperation between the snap-fit groove and snap-fit part can ensure a tight connection between drainage ditches, providing good stability and preventing the drainage ditches from shifting or loosening due to external forces or temperature changes during use. At the same time, it can also effectively avoid water seepage or leakage at the connection, maintain the sealing of the drainage system, ensure smooth drainage, and prevent water overflow or soil erosion. Other specific installation and use are the same as in Example 1, and will not be repeated here.
[0085] Example 3
[0086] This embodiment 3 is the same as embodiment 1 and embodiment 2, except that an injection molding layer, an anti-rust layer, a waterproof layer and a warning layer are sequentially provided from the inside to the outside on the outer surface of the drainage ditch body 1, and the warning layer is coated with fluorescent powder.
[0087] Specifically, a wear-resistant polymer material is injection molded onto the injection-molded layer; the anti-rust layer includes an epoxy zinc-rich primer and a chlorinated rubber topcoat, as well as an epoxy micaceous iron oxide intermediate coat located between the epoxy zinc-rich primer and the chlorinated rubber topcoat; the waterproof layer is a polyurethane waterproof coating; and the warning layer is a reflective warning tape, reflective film, or reflective paint of a single color or a mixture of multiple colors.
[0088] Meanwhile, in this utility model, all connections referred to are fixed connections, movable connections, or detachable connections. Among them, fixed connections are welded connections or directly processed into an integral structure; movable connections, detachable connections, or split structures are hinged connections, internal and external threaded connections, bayonet connections, plug-in sleeves, bolt assembly connections, or screw connections.
[0089] In this embodiment, unlike other embodiments, the exterior is coated with anti-rust paint and a waterproof layer, preventing rusting and extending the lifespan of the entire drainage ditch. This achieves environmental protection and saves resources. Furthermore, the exterior is coated with a self-illuminating fluorescent material, clearly marking the ditch's location at night, in dark indoor environments, and in underground construction environments. This effectively serves as a safety warning, increasing visibility and making it easier for people to identify, thus enhancing safety during construction and daily life. Other uses are the same as in other embodiments and will not be repeated here.
[0090] Finally, it should be noted that the above provides a detailed description of the modular improved drainage ditch provided by this utility model. The principle of this utility model has been described herein, and the above explanation of the working principle is only for the purpose of helping to understand the core idea of this utility model. It should be pointed out that those skilled in the art can make improvements and modifications to this utility model without departing from its principle, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
