Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of road construction materials technology, and in particular to a curb stone with greening function. Background Technology

[0002] With the accelerating pace of urbanization, a large amount of hard paving materials have been widely used in urban roads, squares, and other infrastructure. While this approach has achieved significant results in terms of structural stability and durability, it has also triggered a series of urban ecological and environmental problems.

[0003] Traditional curb stones are mostly made of high-density materials such as concrete and granite, possessing obvious rigidity. While fulfilling basic functions such as road separation and boundary definition, they also significantly weaken the ecological permeability of the ground surface, exacerbating the phenomenon of "urban hardening." Hard boundaries not only inhibit the natural infiltration and retention of urban rainwater, increasing the pressure on urban drainage systems, but also have a certain impact on the urban microclimate, becoming one of the important contributing factors to the "heat island effect" and rainwater runoff pollution.

[0004] In recent years, with the promotion of the concepts of eco-cities and green buildings, people have placed higher demands on infrastructure in terms of eco-friendliness and sustainability. How to introduce flexible design thinking to ecologically improve traditional rigid infrastructure while ensuring urban functions and traffic organization has become a key issue in urban construction and development.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of curbstone structure that combines basic functions with greening attributes. This structure should be able to define road boundaries while simultaneously providing ecological functions such as rainwater regulation and vegetation growth. Through flexible treatment of urban fringe spaces, it can enhance the ecological adaptability of infrastructure, soften the continuity and fragmentation of urban hard surfaces, and promote the integrated development of urban systems and the natural environment. This innovative design will become a crucial support for building resilient urban spaces and a green infrastructure system. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a curbstone with greening function, which can enable the curbstone to have greening function, and realize ecological functions such as rainwater regulation and vegetation growth while defining road boundaries.

[0007] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0008] A type of curbstone with greening function, the main body of which is a curbstone, and the top of the curbstone has a groove, and a first grid plate arranged horizontally is provided in the groove; the first grid plate divides the groove into a root growth area below and a grass seed growth area above.

[0009] The surface of the first grid plate has a plurality of mesh holes;

[0010] The root growth zone is filled with pebbles; the grass seed growth zone consists of a lower geotextile layer, a nutrient soil layer, and an upper geotextile layer from bottom to top.

[0011] Grass seeds are evenly mixed within the nutrient soil layer.

[0012] Compared with previous technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. This utility model has a greening function. The grass seed growth area can improve the greening of roads, while also realizing the functions of plant transpiration, absorption and cooling, enhancing the ecological regulation capacity of the ground, effectively alleviating the problem of urban ground hardening, and improving drainage load and heat island effect.

[0014] 2. The area below the first grid plate serves as a root growth zone filled with pebbles. The gaps between the pebbles can store both air and rainwater. After the grass seeds grow, their roots can enter the root growth zone through the nutrient soil layer, the lower geotextile layer, and the mesh of the first grid plate, ensuring that the grass seed roots have both adequate air and water, thus helping the grass seeds grow better.

[0015] 3. The design of the second grid plate can serve as a rainwater drainage structure, allowing excess rainwater to drain from the side of the grass seed growth area, preventing excessive water accumulation inside the curb and flooding of the grass seed growth area. At the same time, the grass can also extend from the second grid plate during its growth, improving the greening effect. Attached Figure Description

[0017] Figure 2 This is a rendering of the effect of filling the area with pebbles and laying the grass seed growth area for this utility model.

[0018] Labeling Explanation: 1. Curbstone; 11. First Grid Plate; 12. Root Growth Zone; 13. Grass Seed Growth Zone; 131. Lower Geotextile Layer; 132. Nutrient Soil Layer; 133. Upper Geotextile Layer; 14. Second Grid Plate. Detailed Implementation

[0019] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the following description:

[0020] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a curbstone with greening function has a main body of curbstone 1. The top of curbstone 1 has a groove, and a first grid plate 11 is arranged horizontally in the groove. The first grid plate 11 divides the groove into a root growth area 12 below and a grass seed growth area 13 above.

[0021] The surface of the first grid plate 11 has a plurality of mesh holes;

[0022] The root growth zone 12 is filled with pebbles; the grass seed growth zone 13 consists of a lower geotextile layer 131, a nutrient soil layer 132, and an upper geotextile layer 133 from bottom to top.

[0023] Grass seeds are evenly mixed within the nutrient soil layer 132.

[0024] Furthermore, the top of the front sidewall of the curbstone 1 is provided with a notch, and a second grid plate 14 is installed at the notch. The upper edge of the second grid plate 14 is at the same height as the curbstone 1, and the surface of the second grid plate 14 is regularly arranged with a number of mesh holes.

[0025] In summary, this utility model improves the structure of traditional curb stones, transforming the originally monotonous curb stones into an aesthetically pleasing and vibrant urban interface, enhancing the ecological feel and friendliness of urban spaces, and beautifying the road landscape.

[0026] It should be noted that this utility model has a greening function. The grass seed growth area can improve the greening of roads while also enabling plant transpiration, absorption, and cooling, thus enhancing the ecological regulation capacity of the ground surface, effectively alleviating the problem of urban ground hardening, and improving drainage load and the heat island effect. The area below the first grid plate serves as a root growth zone filled with pebbles. The gaps between the pebbles can store both air and rainwater. After the grass seeds grow, their roots can penetrate through the nutrient soil layer, the lower geotextile layer, and the mesh of the first grid plate into the root growth zone, ensuring that the grass seed roots have both adequate air and water, helping the grass seeds grow better.

[0027] The second grid panel is designed to act as a rainwater drainage structure, allowing excess rainwater to drain from the sides of the grass seed growing area, preventing excessive water accumulation inside the curb and flooding of the grass seed growing area. Simultaneously, some grass leaves can extend out from the second grid panel, improving the overall greening effect.

[0028] The nutrient soil layer provides nutrients and water retention capacity during the germination and rooting stage of grass seeds in the seed layer. The two geotextile layers can further improve the water retention capacity of the nutrient soil layer, keep the moisture of the nutrient soil layer better, and help the grass seeds grow.

[0029] The installation method is the same as that for normal curb stones. It should be noted that the side where the second grid plate is located should face the side with the municipal drainage outlet.

[0030] Although this utility model has been illustrated and described using specific embodiments and alternative methods, it should be understood that various changes and modifications are permitted as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, it should be understood that this utility model is not limited in any sense except by the appended claims and their equivalents.
