Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of desert control equipment, specifically to an anti-tangling device and system for filling sandbags and sand barriers. Background Technology

[0002] Global desertification is a problem that cannot be ignored. Desertification triggers a multi-dimensional ecological chain reaction, including climate change, environmental degradation, degradation of plant and animal communities, soil degradation, and deterioration of hydrological conditions. Effective measures are needed to control the formation of near-surface soil wind erosion, reduce its frequency, and mitigate the disasters caused by near-surface soil wind erosion.

[0003] Sand barriers are one of the effective measures to reduce wind erosion of near-surface soil. Mechanical sand barriers mainly reduce wind speed and weaken wind erosion by changing the properties of the underlying surface and increasing surface roughness, thereby achieving the purpose of windbreak and sand fixation. The earliest materials for mechanical sand barriers were mainly crop straw, willow, stalks, pebbles, and clay, which were widely used in the early stages of sand control and desertification prevention in my country. However, these natural material sand barriers generally suffer from drawbacks in practical application, such as regional scarcity of materials, short effective service life, inconvenient transportation and construction, and high labor and material costs. Newer materials such as petroleum-based sand barriers have higher installation costs and contain environmentally harmful chemical components. They are also difficult to degrade after damage, causing secondary pollution to the soil environment in desert areas.

[0004] With the development of modern technology, new types of sand control materials have emerged, such as sandbags and sand barriers. These are made by fermenting, polymerizing, and melt-spinning plant starches like cassava into polylactic acid fibers. These fibers are then formed into bags, which are filled with locally sourced sand to create flat, sand-fixing sandbag barriers. However, existing sandbag barriers require multiple people to operate during the sand-filling process; otherwise, the sandbags are prone to knotting and tangling, reducing work efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to study an anti-tangling device for filling sandbags and sand barriers to solve the problem of knotting during sand filling. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0029] The terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the specification and accompanying drawings of this utility model are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, or accompanying drawings of this utility model are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a particular order. "A plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0030] In the description of this utility model and the above-described drawings, when an element is referred to as "fixed to," "mounted on," "set on," or "connected to" another element, it can be located directly or indirectly on that other element. For example, when an element is referred to as "connected to" another element, it can be directly or indirectly connected to that other element.

[0031] Furthermore, the reference to "embodiment" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0032] One aspect of this utility model provides an anti-entanglement device for filling sandbags and sand barriers. The device includes a bracket, a support mechanism, and rolling components. The bracket includes multiple columns and a crossbeam. The multiple columns include two columns spaced apart from each other, with their lower ends tapering into cones. The crossbeam spans and connects the two columns. The support mechanism includes a first support member and a second support member. The first support member is installed through one of the two columns and has a first support end located between the two columns. The second support member is installed through the other of the two columns and has a second support end located between the two columns. The first and second support ends are at the same height, and the gap between them can be varied. Both the first and second support ends are provided with rolling components, which are capable of rolling relative to the first and second support ends.

[0033] When using it, first insert two opposing columns into the sand layer, adjust the gap between the first support end and the second support end to increase it to a position suitable for inserting and installing the sandbag roll, fit the hole channel in the center of the sandbag roll onto the rolling part of the first support end and the second support end, and then reduce the gap between the first support end and the second support end so that the sandbag roll is stably supported on the first support end and the second support end.

[0034] In the anti-tangling device of this utility model, the support mechanism adopts a first support member and a second support member that are spaced apart and have an adjustable gap, which facilitates the installation of sandbag rolls and is applicable to sandbag rolls of different sizes; a rolling component is set at the support position of the sandbag roll so that the sandbag roll can rotate as it is used, avoiding the sandbag from getting tangled or knotted, and the roll can be easily unrolled without the cooperation of multiple people; the bottom of the column adopts a conical structure, and the device can be inserted into the sand layer by stepping on it with one foot, which improves the overall stability of the device and prevents the device from tipping over during use.

[0035] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the overall structure of an anti-tangling device for filling sandbags and sand barriers according to a first embodiment of the present invention is shown. As shown in the figure, the anti-tangling device for filling sandbags and sand barriers generally includes a bracket 100, a support mechanism 200, and a rolling component 300.

[0036] The support 100 serves as the frame for the entire device. The support 100 may include two uprights 110 and two crossbeams 120. The two uprights 110 are parallel and spaced apart, with their lower ends forming gradually tapering cones. The two crossbeams 120 span across the two uprights 110, one above the other. This support 100 employs a spatial frame configuration of double uprights 110 and double crossbeams 120. The quadrilateral mechanical system constructed by the double uprights 110 and double-layered crossbeams 120 constrains the lateral displacement of the uprights, forming a stable spatial truss structure. Compared to a single-layered crossbeam design, its overall structural stiffness is improved, exhibiting excellent structural stability.

[0037] The lower end of the column 110 is a tapered cone with a gradually narrowing angle, for example, 30° to 60°. An excessively large cone angle will increase insertion resistance, while an excessively small angle will reduce stability. This tapered design of the column 110 facilitates the insertion of the device into the soil surface, improves the overall stability of the device, and prevents the device from tipping over during use.

[0038] In a specific example, the height of the upright 110 is approximately 1 to 1.1 meters, and the length of the crossbeam 120 is approximately 0.3 to 0.4 meters. The crossbeam 120 can be positioned approximately 0.4 to 0.6 meters from the lower end of the upright 110. Setting the bracket 100 to this size not only facilitates carrying, but also, once inserted into the ground, its height allows for the sandbag and sand barrier sets to be fitted onto the sand-filling tools.

[0039] The support mechanism 200 is used to support the sandbag rolls. The support mechanism 200 generally includes a first support member 210 and a second support member 220, which can be rod-shaped. A mounting hole is provided near the top of each column 110, extending radially through the column 110. The first support member 210 is disposed in the mounting hole of one column 110, and the second support member 220 is disposed in the mounting hole of the other column 110. The end of the first support member 210 located between the two columns 110 can be referred to as the first support end, and the end of the second support member 220 located between the two columns 110 can be referred to as the second support end. The first support end and the second support end are set at the same height, and a gap can be left between them. At least one of the first support member 210 and the second support member 220 can move laterally relative to the column 110, allowing the gap between the first support end and the second support end to be changed.

[0040] In one embodiment of this utility model, the mounting hole has internal threads, and the outer surfaces of the first support member 210 and the second support member 220 are provided with external threads. The first support member 210 and the second support member 220 are disposed in the mounting hole by means of threaded engagement. The self-locking characteristic of the threaded pair can provide reliable lateral positioning for the support member, preventing lateral movement during the support of the sandbag roll and thus preventing the sandbag roll from falling off. This threaded engagement method also allows for stepless adjustment of the gap between the first support end and the second support end.

[0041] Optionally, the adjustment of the gap between the first support end and the second support end is not limited to the above structure, and any other suitable structure can be used. For example, a spring can be provided in the mounting hole, with the spring sleeved outside the first support member 210 or the second support member 220. One end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting hole, and the other end is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the first support member 210 or the second support member 220. When it is necessary to increase the gap between the first support end and the second support end, the first support member 210 or the second support member 220 is pulled outward (i.e., towards a direction away from the center line between the two columns), the gap between the first support end and the second support end increases, and the spring is compressed. After the sandbag roll is inserted, the first support member 210 or the second support member 220 is released, the first support end and the second support end return to their original positions, and the gap decreases.

[0042] Optionally, in one embodiment of this utility model, the first support member 210 and the second support member 220 are telescopic rods, which are nested sleeves comprising multiple sections, with the outermost sleeve having external threads. When needed, the first support member 210 and the second support member 220 are pulled out to both sides of the inner sleeve, increasing their length for easier operation; after use, the outer ends of the first support member 210 and the second support member 220 are pushed towards the center, causing the inner sleeve to embed into the outer sleeve, shortening their length and reducing the risk of damage during transportation or storage.

[0043] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first support member 210 has a first adjustment end axially spaced from the first support end, and the second support member 220 has a second adjustment end axially spaced from the second support end. The first adjustment end and the second adjustment end are provided with an adjustment handle 230. The adjustment handle 230 can be a short rod perpendicular to the axis of the first support member 210 and the second support member 220. Its size is convenient for gripping. By holding the adjustment handle 230, the first support member 210 and the second support member 220 can be easily turned, thereby adjusting the gap between the first support end and the second support end.

[0044] The rolling component 300 is used to cause the sandbag roll to roll, so that the sandbag roll rotates during use, and a single person can easily control the unrolling and unrolling of the sandbag roll. A rolling component 300 is respectively provided at the first support end of the first support member 210 and the second support end of the second support member 220. Specifically, the rolling component 300 can be a rotary bearing, which can be installed to the first and second support ends via a fixing buckle. Optionally, in one embodiment of this utility model, the rolling component 300 further includes a protective sleeve, which is disposed around the rotary bearing to prevent sand from entering the bearing, reducing sand wear on the bearing, and extending the bearing life.

[0045] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the overall structure of an anti-tangling device for filling sandbags and sand barriers according to a second embodiment of the present invention is shown. This device is related to... Figure 1 The main difference of the device shown is that a foot pedal 121 is added to the crossbeam 120 and a baffle 130 is added to the first support 210 and the second support 220.

[0046] The foot pedal 121 is designed to facilitate the user's application of force with their foot, enabling the bracket 100 to be smoothly inserted into the soil. The foot pedal 121 can be integrally formed with the crossbeam 120 or it can be a separate component attached to the crossbeam 120. The outer surface of the foot pedal 121 may have a textured surface to increase friction, thereby preventing slippage when pedaling.

[0047] Baffle 130 is fixedly installed on the first support member 210 or the second support member 220. The baffle 130 on the first support member 210 is located between the column 110 and the first support end, and is adjacent to the rolling component 300 on the first support member 220. The baffle 130 on the second support member 220 is located between the other column 110 and the second support end, and is adjacent to the rolling component 300 on the second support member 220. Since sandbag rolls are usually flexible rolls, they may accidentally shift or fall off during unwinding. By setting two baffles 130, the sandbag roll is clamped between the two baffles 130, preventing it from moving or falling off.

[0048] Figure 3 This diagram illustrates the usage of an anti-tangle device for filling sandbag barriers according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein a sandbag roll B is placed on the anti-tangle device and clamped between two baffles 130. In use, the drooping end of the sandbag roll B is pulled to release it.

[0049] Another aspect of this utility model proposes a system for filling sandbags and sand barriers, which generally includes the anti-winding device, sand filling cylinder and sand filling cylinder fixing frame as described above.

[0050] Figure 4 A schematic diagram of a sand-filling cylinder 400 and a sand-filling cylinder fixing frame 500 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The sand-filling cylinder 400 is a cylinder with open ends. The sand-filling cylinder fixing frame 500 includes a support leg 510, a support rod 520, an angle adjustment mechanism 530, and a clamp 540.

[0051] The support leg 510 is used to support the sand filling cylinder fixing frame 500 on the ground. It can be a structure with three legs, each of which has a pointed conical end to facilitate stable support on the ground.

[0052] The support rod 520 is positioned above the support leg 510. The support rod 520 can be a telescopic rod with a multi-segment structure, allowing for easy height adjustment.

[0053] Angle adjustment mechanism 530 is connected to the top of support rod 520. Specifically, angle adjustment mechanism 530 can be a ball joint, which can be rotated freely to the desired position.

[0054] The clamp 540 is used to fix the sand filling cylinder 400 and is connected above the angle adjustment mechanism 530. The clamp 540 may include two halves that are movably connected together to form a closed annulus. The sand filling cylinder 400 can be inserted into the hollow area of ​​the annulus of the clamp 540 and fixed in the clamp 540.

[0055] In use, insert and fix the anti-winding device into the soil surface. Place the sand-filling cylinder fixing frame 500 about 1-2 meters away from the anti-winding device. Install the first end of the sand-filling cylinder 400 into the clamp 540, and make the second end of the sand-filling cylinder 400 closer to the sandbag roll B than the first end. Adjust the support rod 520 so that the clamp 540 is close to or slightly lower than the sandbag roll B. Adjust the angle adjustment mechanism 530 so that the sand-filling cylinder 400 is aligned with the sandbag roll B at a slightly upward tilt angle (such as 1-10° relative to the horizontal plane). Put the free end of the sandbag roll B into the sand-filling cylinder 400 and put sandbags on the entire cylinder of the sand-filling cylinder 400. Move the sandbag part on the second end of the sand-filling cylinder 400 toward the first end of the sand-filling cylinder 400 to stack and press it tightly, so that the sandbags are stacked on the sand-filling cylinder 400. Repeat this process until the entire sand-filling cylinder 400 is filled with stacked sandbags. Cut and tie a knot between the sandbag roll B and the sand-filling cylinder 400, then remove the sand-filling cylinder 400 from the sand-filling cylinder fixing frame 500. Take the sand-filling cylinder 400 with the sandbags to the designated location. Pour sand into the sandbags from the untied end of the sandbags in the sand-filling cylinder 400, manually releasing the sandbags near the knotted end while filling, thus continuously filling the sandbags until the entire sandbag is filled. Remove the sand-filling cylinder 400 from the sandbag. Place the filled sandbags in the designated location. This device and system are characterized by their small size, convenient transportation, simple operation, resistance to wind and sand erosion, and low overall cost. It can effectively improve the efficiency of sandbag and sand barrier sets when used with sand-filling tools and shorten construction time.
