Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of block technology, and in particular to a modular block for ecological riverbank protection. Background Technology

[0002] Riverbed blocks are protective structures specifically designed for hydraulic engineering projects, primarily used for riverbank reinforcement, embankment construction, and canal slope protection. These blocks are typically precast concrete, employing modular design for rapid construction and stable protection. They can be categorized into various types based on functional requirements. For example, interlocking blocks enhance overall integrity through a special interlocking structure; eco-friendly blocks have pre-drilled holes to promote plant growth and aquatic life; and gabion blocks utilize a metal mesh structure, combining flexibility and permeability. In practical applications, riverbed blocks effectively resist water erosion and prevent soil loss. Furthermore, with proper design, they can improve the aquatic ecosystem and enhance the landscape.

[0003] 1. In the existing technology, under severe hydraulic conditions, some masonry blocks are prone to relative sliding between the interlocking mechanism and the contact surface due to poor interlocking action between them and the ground contact surface. As a result, these blocks are easily washed away by the severe hydraulic action, ultimately causing the loss of masonry blocks and damage to the slope.

[0004] 2. In existing technologies, the blocks used in ecological slope protection are mostly hollow in the center, and plants are planted in the hollow parts after installation. The roots of the plants help to slow down soil erosion and thus strengthen the slope. However, although the slope protection constructed in this way has high strength, its overall surface is more slippery than other types of slope protection. As a result, if people accidentally slip on the slope, there are no gripping or support devices, making it easy for them to slide into the water, creating a safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a modular block for ecological riverbank protection, which can improve the interlocking force between the block and the contact surface, so that the block will not be easily washed away under severe hydraulic action; it is equipped with special force points to reduce the risk of people slipping into the water when they slip on the slope.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, a modular block for ecological riverbank protection is provided, comprising a block body and pins;

[0007] The block body includes a middle ring, a mating block is fixedly connected to the right side of the middle ring, a mating block is fixedly connected to the front of the middle ring, a mating groove is fixedly connected to the left side of the middle ring, a mating groove is fixedly connected to the rear of the middle ring, first interlocking teeth are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the bottom of the middle ring, second interlocking teeth are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the bottom of the middle ring, an anti-slip block is fixedly connected to the rear of the top of the middle ring, and a reinforcing ring is fixedly connected inside the middle ring.

[0008] According to the modular block of the river ecological slope protection, the right-side connecting block corresponds to the left-side connecting groove, and the right-side connecting block is inserted into the left-side connecting groove.

[0009] According to the modular block of the river ecological slope protection, the front connecting block corresponds to the rear connecting groove, and the front connecting block and the rear connecting groove are inserted together.

[0010] According to the modular block for ecological riverbank protection, the upper part of the reinforcing ring is located inside the anti-blocking block, and the reinforcing ring is fixedly connected to the anti-blocking block.

[0011] According to the modular block for ecological riverbank protection, the pins are located at the four corners of the block body, and the pins abut against the block body.

[0012] According to the modular block for ecological riverbank protection, the intermediate ring is made of concrete and the reinforcing ring is made of steel.

[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. Compared with the existing technology, through the cooperation between the first and second biting teeth, and the fixing effect of the grass root and the pin, the biting force between the block body and the contact surface is greatly enhanced during the working process, so that the block body will not be easily washed away under the harsh water force.

[0015] 2. Compared to existing technologies, the addition of anti-slip blocks allows pedestrians to grab onto the blocks with their hands or feet if they slip on the slope. This increased traction prevents pedestrians from easily sliding down the slope into the water, thus protecting their safety. Furthermore, even if the anti-slip blocks themselves weather over time, pedestrians can still grab onto the reinforcing rings, providing further protection. Attached Figure Description

[0024] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0025] Reference Figure 1-4 This utility model discloses a modular block for ecological riverbank protection, comprising a block body 1 and pins 2. The block body 1 includes a central ring 11, with a connecting block 12 fixedly connected to the right side and the front of the central ring 11. A connecting groove 13 is fixedly connected to the left side of the central ring 11. The right connecting block 12 corresponds to the left connecting groove 13 and is inserted into the left connecting groove 13. The front connecting block 12 corresponds to the rear connecting groove 13 and is inserted into the rear connecting groove 13. The rear of the central ring 11... The middle ring 11 is fixedly connected with a mating groove 13. The bottom left and right sides of the middle ring 11 are fixedly connected with first engagement teeth 14. The bottom front and rear sides of the middle ring 11 are fixedly connected with second engagement teeth 15. The top rear of the middle ring 11 is fixedly connected with an anti-sliding block 16. The middle ring 11 is fixedly connected with a reinforcing ring 17. The upper part of the reinforcing ring 17 is located inside the anti-sliding block 16. The reinforcing ring 17 is fixedly connected with the anti-sliding block 16. The pins 2 are located at the four corners of the block body 1. The pins 2 abut against the block body 1. The middle ring 11 is made of concrete, and the reinforcing ring 17 is made of steel.

[0026] The aforementioned structure, with its connecting blocks 12 and connecting grooves 13, where the right connecting block 12 corresponds to the left connecting groove 13, and the front connecting block 12 corresponds to the rear connecting groove 13, allows installers to splice and lay a large number of block bodies 1 according to the length and width of the slope. The interlocking action of the right connecting block 12 and the left connecting groove 13, as well as the interlocking action of the front connecting block 12 and the rear connecting groove 13, enhances the strength of the slope protection composed of different block bodies 1. From a construction perspective, the prefabricated modular design significantly shortens the project cycle, making it particularly suitable for emergency rescue projects and projects with tight schedules. In terms of structural performance, the interlocking mechanism gives the blocks excellent impact resistance, while the flexible connection method effectively adapts to foundation settlement. Ecologically, the reasonable porosity provides an ideal habitat for aquatic organisms, and combined with vegetation technology, it can quickly achieve vegetation cover. Economically, it has a significant cost advantage compared to traditional mortar masonry and has a long service life.

[0027] By providing first biting teeth 14, after inserting them into the contact surface, the first biting teeth 14 are inserted laterally into the interior of the contact surface. Through the biting of the contact surface by multiple first biting teeth 14, the longitudinal biting force between the block body 1 and the contact surface is enhanced, so that a single block body 1 can stably bite and connect with the contact surface. The laying of multiple sets of block bodies 1 can further improve its overall strength.

[0028] By providing second biting teeth 15, after inserting them into the contact surface, the second biting teeth 15 are inserted longitudinally into the interior of the contact surface. Through the biting of the contact surface by multiple second biting teeth 15, the lateral biting force between the block body 1 and the contact surface is enhanced, so that a single block body 1 can be more stably bitten and connected to the contact surface. The laying of multiple sets of block bodies 1 can also improve its overall strength.

[0029] Through the cooperation between the first biting tooth 14 and the second biting tooth 15, the biting force between the block body 1 and the contact surface is greatly enhanced during the working process, so that the block body 1 will not be easily washed away under the harsh hydraulic action.

[0030] By incorporating anti-slip blocks 16, which are fixedly connected to the intermediate ring 11 and the reinforcing ring 17, a pedestrian who slips on the slope can grab onto the anti-slip blocks 16 with their hands or feet. This increased traction prevents the person from easily sliding down the slope into the water, thus protecting their safety. Furthermore, even if the anti-slip blocks 16 weather over time, the person can still grab onto the top of the reinforcing ring 17, achieving the same effect.

[0031] The intermediate ring 11 is made of concrete, while the reinforcing ring 17 is made of steel. Reinforced concrete, by incorporating steel bars into the concrete, fully leverages the complementary advantages of concrete's high compressive strength and steel's excellent tensile strength, forming a composite material with superior mechanical properties. The steel bars primarily bear tensile stress, effectively compensating for the weak tensile strength of concrete. Simultaneously, they control crack development, transfer structural loads, and significantly improve the load-bearing capacity and ductility of the components. This combination not only makes the structure safer and more reliable but also optimizes cross-sectional dimensions and extends service life, resulting in significant economic benefits.

[0032] Working principle: When using this modular riverbank ecological slope protection block, the block body 1 is first laid in a designated area on the riverbank, and the first and second interlocking teeth 14 and 15 are simultaneously hammered into the contact layer using a rubber mallet. Then, pins 2 are inserted at the four corners where different block bodies 1 connect. Stone blocks are laid at the bottom of the lowest block body 1 to support its base. Finally, grass seeds are sown at the opening in the middle of the central ring 11. As the grass matures and its root system extends, a usable ecological slope protection is formed.

[0033] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
