Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of landscape architecture technology, specifically relating to a landscape greening step. Background Technology
[0002] Steps are connecting structures between different terrain levels, serving as a transition and link between different levels. Unique steps, with their scenery and design, can add a unique aesthetic to parks and gardens. A common approach is to add landscape greenery to the steps to enhance their beauty.
[0003] When existing landscape steps have cliffs on both sides (i.e., there is a height difference between the two sides of the steps and the ground), a cavity is usually set inside the steps, and then a planting structure is set inside the cavity to plant landscape plants. However, for steps that have already been constructed, hollowing out the steps later will damage the original structural strength. At the same time, the existence of the steps also affects the lighting of the plants inside and the appreciation of the plants by pedestrians. In other words, it is difficult to add landscape plants to existing steps with cliffs on both sides without interfering with the normal passage of pedestrians. Utility Model Content
[0004] The present invention aims to provide a landscape greening step to solve the problem mentioned above that existing steps with cliffs on both sides are difficult to add landscape greenery without interfering with the normal passage of pedestrians.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a landscape greening step, installed on the step body, the step body having multiple step walls and step surfaces that are sequentially connected and distributed in a stepped manner, including...
[0006] An extension assembly includes an extension plate and columns. The extension plate is fixed to the top of the step wall, and columns are fixed to both ends of the extension plate on the side away from the step wall. The bottom surface of the columns is fixed to the ground or the step surface. There is a movable cavity between the columns, the extension plate and the step wall.
[0007] The movable component includes a movable plate that abuts against the ground or step surface, the movable plate being movably disposed within a movable cavity, and the movable plate being extendable to the outside of the movable cavity;
[0008] Planting box, which can be detachably installed on the movable plate;
[0009] Side panels, which can be detachably installed between the two columns.
[0010] The principle and effects of this technical solution:
[0011] 1. By installing extension panels and columns, the original steps with cliffs on both sides can be extended by adding extension panels to create a cavity that does not interfere with the normal passage of tourists without compromising the original structural strength. By installing landscaping plants in this cavity, the landscape and greenery of the steps can be enhanced. In this way, the existing steps can be transformed to improve the landscape and greenery effect.
[0012] 2. By setting up movable panels, movable cavities, and planting boxes, the movable panels can extend the planting boxes to the outside of the main body of the steps, so that both sides of each step have green structures, making the steps more layered. Furthermore, by placing the planting boxes outside the movable cavities, pedestrians and tourists can directly observe the green plants inside the planting boxes while walking, without being obstructed by the step surface or the extension panels, resulting in a better landscape greening effect.
[0013] 3. The side panels prevent pedestrians from kicking their toes into the movable cavity and damaging the planting box, while also protecting their feet.
[0014] The present invention is further configured such that: the cross-section of the movable plate is U-shaped, the length of the movable plate is half of the minimum length between the two columns, the distance from the side of the movable plate away from the step wall to the step wall is the same as the minimum distance from the column to the step wall, and the side of the movable plate away from the step wall has a protrusion that can abut against the column.
[0015] The principle and effect of this technical solution: By making the movable panel occupy only half the length between the two columns, two movable panels can be placed between the two columns, and the two movable panels can be removed from between the two columns respectively, so as to facilitate the replacement and maintenance of the movable panels and planting boxes in the future. That is, movable panels and planting boxes can be extended on both sides of the main body of the steps, resulting in a better landscape effect. In addition, the setting of the protruding part restricts the movable panel from detaching from the column and the step wall, thereby avoiding the situation where the movable panel detaches from the column and the step wall due to incorrect operation when adjusting the position of the movable panel, thus improving safety and reliability.
[0016] The present invention is further configured such that: sliding grooves are respectively opened on both sides of the inner wall of the movable plate, and sliding blocks are respectively fixed on the two outer walls of the planting box. The sliding blocks cooperate with the sliding grooves, and the planting box abuts against the inner side of the movable plate.
[0017] The principle and effect of this technical solution: The setting of the chute and slider allows the planting box to move only vertically relative to the movable plate when it is installed on the movable plate. At least part of the projection of the movable plate and the planting box on the horizontal plane overlaps with the extension plate. When the movable plate drives the planting box to extend a part to the two sides of the step body outside the movable cavity, the planting box can be supported and limited by the movable plate, and at the same time, it cannot leave the movable plate due to the restriction of the extension plate. Thus, it maintains a stable position relative to the movable plate and improves stability.
[0018] The present invention is further configured such that the length of the protrusion is one-third of the length of the movable plate.
[0019] The principle and effect of this technical solution: By making the protrusion occupy one-third of the length of the movable plate, the movable plate is limited to extending no more than two-thirds of its length outside the movable cavity. Thus, the weight of the excess part can be distributed by the one-third of the movable plate located inside the movable cavity, avoiding the occurrence of situations such as the movable plate breaking due to excessive extension length, and ensuring the structural strength of the movable plate.
[0020] The present invention is further configured such that: a drainage hole is provided on the side wall of the planting box, and a limiting ring is fixed on the inner wall of the planting box, with the bottom edge of the limiting ring being higher than the top edge of the drainage hole.
[0021] The principle and effect of this technical solution: By setting up drainage holes and limiting rings, partitions or other materials can be placed inside the planting box to hold the soil, and the water is located below the limiting rings, thus preventing the soil and the roots of the plants from being soaked, ensuring the survival rate of the plants. Furthermore, the water-absorbing cotton ropes can absorb the water below and transfer it to the soil to replenish moisture, achieving a certain period of time without the need for management. Excess water can be drained through the drainage holes to the lower layer or the ground.
[0022] The present invention is further configured such that: the side baffle has lugs on both sides, the column has a groove on the side away from the step wall, the lugs are adapted to the groove, a connecting bolt is slidably inserted on the lug, the end of the connecting bolt extends to be threaded into the column, and the end of the connecting bolt can abut against the outer wall of the planting box.
[0023] The principle and effect of this technical solution: By connecting the groove and the column with connecting bolts, the side plate can be disassembled and installed relative to the column. Furthermore, by allowing the connecting bolts to abut against the planting box, the planting box can be tightened by the connecting bolts after its position is determined, thus preventing vibration and shaking of the movable plate and planting box during daily use and ensuring the stability of the planting box.
[0024] The present invention is further provided that: a handrail is fixed on the extension plate.
[0025] The principle and effect of this technical solution: The handrail provides better safety support and prevents tourists and pedestrians from slipping and falling. Attached Figure Description

[0037] Example:
[0038] As attached Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model discloses a landscape greening step, including an extension component, a movable component, a planting box 320, and a side panel 410. The device is integrally installed on the step body 110. The step body 110 has multiple sequentially connected and stepped steps 111 and steps 112. In this design, a step structure with a cliff-like structure is mainly used as an example; it can also be the steps of a pedestrian bridge, etc. A step wall 111 and its adjacent step surface 112 constitute a step unit, and the number of extension components corresponds to the number of step units.
[0039] The extension assembly includes an extension plate 210 and columns 220. An extension plate 210 is fixed to the top of the step wall 111 in a step unit. Columns 220 are fixed to both ends of the extension plate 210 on the side away from the step wall 111. The bottom surface of the columns 220 is fixed to the ground (the bottom surface of the lowest step wall 111 is not connected to the step surface 112, but instead to the ground) or to the adjacent step surface 112 below. A movable cavity 230 exists between the columns 220, the extension plate 210, and the step wall 111. Both the extension plate 210 and the columns 220 are steel components. Specifically, the extension plate 210 is fixed to the step wall 111 by anchoring or other means. The extension plate 210 has holes communicating with the interior of the movable cavity 230 for drainage. The extension plate 210 also has anti-slip textures, and a handrail 510 is fixed to the extension plate 210.
[0040] The movable component includes a movable plate 310, which abuts against the ground or step surface 112. The movable plate 310 is movably disposed within the movable cavity 230 and can extend outside the movable cavity 230. The movable plate 310 has a U-shaped cross-section. The length of the movable plate 310 is half the minimum length between the two columns 220. The distance from the side of the movable plate 310 away from the step wall 111 to the step wall 111 is the same as the minimum distance from the column 220 to the step wall 111. The side of the movable plate 310 away from the step wall 111 has a protrusion 311, which can abut against the column 220 and can restrict movement. The movable plate 310 is positioned to slide between the column 220 and the step wall 111, and a handle 313 is fixed on the protrusion 311 to facilitate the management personnel to control the position of the movable plate 310 relative to the movable cavity 230.

Sliding grooves 312 are respectively opened on both sides of the inner wall of the movable plate 310. Sliding blocks 321 are fixed on the two outer walls of the planting box 320. The sliding blocks 321 cooperate with the sliding grooves 312. The planting box 320 abuts against the inner side of the movable plate 310. The length of the protrusion 311 is one-third of the length of the movable plate 310.
[0041] The planting box 320 has a drainage hole 322 on its side wall and a limiting ring 323 fixed on the inner wall of the planting box 320. The bottom edge of the limiting ring 323 is higher than the top edge of the drainage hole 322. A partition or box body can be hung on the limiting ring 323 for dry and wet separation, so that the water in the planting box 320 is separated from the soil. In addition, by setting cotton rope, the water in the water accumulation area can be absorbed to the soil through the capillary effect of the cotton rope to replenish the water.
[0042] The side baffle 410 has lugs 411 on both sides. The column 220 has a groove 221 on the side away from the step wall 111. The lugs 411 are adapted to the groove 221.
