Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of geotechnical engineering technology, and in particular to a novel gabion frame structure. Background Technology
[0002] The main functions of gabion baskets include preventing soil erosion, enhancing river resistance, improving river ecology, and enhancing landscape aesthetics. Gabion basket structures are made of corrosion-resistant, high-strength, and wear-resistant steel wire or wire mesh, filled with stones or pebbles, and are commonly used for slope protection, bank protection, and retaining walls. In existing technologies, in cases where high strength is required for the gabion structure, a welded steel frame is first fabricated. However, this type of frame fabrication involves slow welding operations, and large-scale projects require numerous welding joints, severely impacting construction progress. Furthermore, after deployment, if weld points crack or steel reinforcement corrodes, repair and maintenance are extremely difficult due to their concealed locations. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to address the problems of slow production, impact on construction progress, and difficulty in repair and maintenance after use due to the concealed location of the current steel welded frames for manufacturing high-strength gabion cages. This invention proposes a new gabion cage frame structure.
[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a novel gabion frame structure, including a frame body, and further including: multiple skeletons for assembling into the frame body; a disassembly and assembly mechanism disposed on the skeletons, the disassembly and assembly mechanism being used to interlock the multiple skeletons horizontally and vertically to form the frame body; and a connecting mechanism disposed on the disassembly and assembly mechanism to movably connect the disassembly and assembly mechanism with the skeletons.
[0005] Optionally, the disassembly and assembly mechanism includes multiple upper protrusions arranged linearly and with equal spacing on the frame, and multiple grooves corresponding to the upper protrusions and for insertion into them are provided on the frame. Both ends of the frame are movably connected to side protrusions inserted into the grooves.
[0006] Optionally, the frame has multiple wire holes arranged in a linear pattern with equal spacing.
[0007] Optionally, the connecting mechanism includes a first slot formed on the frame for the insertion of the upper protrusion end, a socket is fixedly connected inside the groove, a mounting spiral groove is formed at one end of the upper protrusion inserted into the first slot, and a first bolt is provided inside the groove, which is movable through the socket and spirally connected to the mounting spiral groove.
[0008] Optionally, the connecting mechanism further includes second slots at both ends of the frame for insertion of the side protrusion ends. Each of the second slots has a fixed spiral groove inside. The side protrusion has a telescopic groove at the end away from the second slot. The telescopic groove has a second bolt that can move through the side protrusion and is spirally connected to the fixed spiral groove inside.
[0009] Optionally, both the second bolt and the first bolt are made of stainless steel.
[0010] Optionally, the pair of side protrusions, the second slot, the fixing spiral groove, the telescopic groove, and the second bolt are all symmetrically arranged with the middle of the skeleton as the center.
[0011] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0012] This invention utilizes the coordination of a frame, disassembly and assembly mechanisms, and connection mechanisms. When large-scale projects require the use of gabion frame structures, the rapid and efficient assembly of the frame body can significantly shorten the construction cycle, thereby improving construction efficiency. Simultaneously, by regularly inspecting the upper and side protrusions on the frame, any components found to be corroded or deformed can be replaced promptly without the need for complete dismantling and reconstruction, reducing maintenance costs and extending the service life of the gabion cages.

[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0020] Example
[0021] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model proposes a novel gabion frame structure, including a frame body 1 and several skeletons 101 for assembling the frame body 1. The skeletons 101, upper protrusions 102, and side protrusions 103 are all made of zinc-aluminum alloy steel. Zinc-aluminum alloy steel is developed based on hot-dip galvanized steel wire, and its corrosion resistance is superior. This is because the aluminum element in the zinc-aluminum alloy can form a more stable and denser oxide film on the surface of the steel wire, further improving the corrosion resistance of the steel wire, making it particularly suitable for highly corrosive environments, such as river channels. Several steel wire holes 104 are linearly arranged and evenly spaced on the skeletons 101. The steel wire holes 104 are used to insert steel wires to form the gabion mesh surface, achieving the effect of preventing the mesh surface from deforming. The assembly / disassembly mechanism is used to allow several skeletons 101 to be interlocked horizontally and vertically to form the frame body 1.
[0022] In addition, such as Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the frame 101 is provided with a disassembly and assembly mechanism, which includes several upper protrusions 102 arranged in a linear pattern and with equal spacing on the frame 101. The frame 101 is provided with a number of grooves 105 that correspond to the upper protrusions 102 and are inserted into them. Both ends of the frame 101 are movably connected to side protrusions 103 that are inserted into the grooves 105. The upper protrusions 102 are slightly longer than the side protrusions 103.
[0023] It is worth noting that, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the disassembly and assembly mechanism is equipped with a connecting mechanism that allows the disassembly and assembly mechanism to be movably connected to the frame 101. The connecting mechanism includes a first slot 106 opened on the frame 101 for the end of the upper protrusion 102 to be inserted. An insertion hole 107 is fixedly connected inside the groove 105. An installation spiral groove 110 is opened at one end of the upper protrusion 102 that is inserted into the first slot 106. A first bolt 111 is provided inside the groove 105, which is movably connected to the insertion hole 107 and spirally connected to the installation spiral groove 110.
[0024] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the connecting mechanism also includes second slots 108 at both ends of the frame 101 for the ends of the side protrusions 103 to be inserted. The first slot 106 is slightly deeper than the second slot 108. Its function is to ensure that the upper protrusion 102 and the side protrusion 103 protrude from the frame 101 by the same length, and that the lengths of the upper protrusion 102 and the side protrusion 103 protruding from the frame 101 are just enough to be inserted into the groove 105 without obstructing the first bolt 111. The interior of each of the second slots 108 is provided with a fixing spiral groove 109. The end of the side protrusion 103 away from the second slot 108 is provided with a telescopic groove 112. The telescopic groove 112 is provided with a second bolt 113 that moves through the side protrusion 103 and is spirally connected to the fixing spiral groove 109. The pair of side protrusions 103, the second slots 108, the fixing spiral groove 109, the telescopic groove 112, and the second bolt 113 are all symmetrically arranged with the middle of the frame 101 as the center.
[0025] Furthermore, such as Figures 2 to 5 As shown, both the second bolt 113 and the first bolt 111 are made of stainless steel. Stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance, resisting water erosion and corrosion from chemicals in water, extending the service life of the bolts, and thus ensuring the long-term stable operation of the gabion frame structure. At the same time, stainless steel bolts have high strength and toughness, maintaining good mechanical properties under long-term tensile and compressive forces, and are not prone to deformation or breakage. This provides reliable connection protection for the gabion frame structure, ensuring its stable function in river environments, such as resisting flood impacts and stabilizing riverbank soil.
[0026] In this embodiment, when a novel gabion frame structure is required, such as... Figure 2 As shown, multiple skeletons 101 can be assembled by placing them in pairs horizontally and vertically. Figure 1 The shape of the frame body 1. During assembly, simply insert the side protrusions 103 at the ends of the frame 101 into the corresponding grooves 105, and then insert the upper protrusions 102 on the frame 101 into the corresponding grooves 105; this is quick and easy. Then, by passing steel wire through multiple wire holes 104 on the frame 101 to form the mesh surface of the gabion, a complete gabion can be assembled.
[0027] When it is necessary to replace any of the multiple upper protrusions 102 and side protrusions 103 on the frame 101, simply insert a tool into the corresponding groove 105 and rotate the first bolt 111 inside. Since the end of the first bolt 111 is spirally connected to the corresponding mounting screw groove 110, the first bolt 111 can be dislodged from the mounting screw groove 110, the insertion hole 107, and the groove 105 in sequence. At this time, the corresponding upper protrusion 102 can be removed from the first slot 106, and then a new upper protrusion 102 can be replaced. When replacing the side protrusion 103, simply insert a tool into the telescopic groove 112 at the end of the corresponding side protrusion 103, rotate the tool to rotate the second bolt 113. Since the end of the second bolt 113 is spirally connected to the fixing screw groove 109, the second bolt 113 can be dislodged from the fixing screw groove 109 and the telescopic groove 112 in sequence, and then the end of the side protrusion 103 can be removed from the second slot 108 and replaced with a new one.
