Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of retaining wall construction, and in particular to a device for constructing ecological retaining walls. Background Technology

[0002] Ecological retaining walls are a green slope protection technology that combines natural materials (such as stone and vegetation) with engineering structures. Through the soil stabilization of plant roots and permeable design, they can effectively prevent soil erosion, promote ecological restoration and landscape integration, and achieve the dual goals of environmental friendliness and engineering stability.

[0003] In practical applications, ecological retaining walls are like... Figure 1 The shape shown includes a lower unit 701, an inner unit 702, and an outer unit 703. The inner unit 702 is closer to the soil than the outer unit 703. Both the inner unit 702 and the outer unit 703 are located on the top surface of the lower unit 701. The area between the inner unit 702 and the outer unit 703 serves as a flower trough.

[0004] In actual construction, scaffolding is often erected on the outside of the outer unit 703. However, foundation treatment is required when erecting the scaffolding, which involves a large amount of work. In addition, the scaffolding cannot be reused, resulting in high construction costs. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the construction of ecological retaining walls with flower troughs, which often use ground-mounted scaffolding for construction. However, this requires foundation treatment before setting up the ground-mounted scaffolding, involves a large workload, and the scaffolding cannot be reused. This invention provides a device for constructing ecological retaining walls.

[0006] In a first aspect, this utility model provides a device for constructing ecological retaining walls, comprising:

[0007] Main beam;

[0008] The outer unit side mold is connected to end A of the main beam and can be lifted or lowered.

[0009] A walking system is connected to end B of the main beam. The distance from the walking system to the outer unit side formwork is greater than the sum of the width of the flower trough and the width of the inner unit of the ecological retaining wall.

[0010] An operating platform is connected to the side of the outer unit side mold facing away from the walking system.

[0011] The shape and size of the outer unit side formwork are determined according to the actual situation. The inner unit of the retaining wall is the part closest to the soil; the outer unit is the part furthest from the soil.

[0012] The outer unit side formwork can be raised or lowered. During construction, the position of the outer unit formwork can be adjusted according to the height of the lower unit of the retaining wall, which helps improve construction accuracy. Furthermore, after concrete pouring, the outer unit side formwork can be demolded and raised without affecting the movement of the device to the next construction segment. The walking system and the outer unit formwork are respectively located at both ends of the main beam. In actual use, they can be positioned on both sides of the already poured inner unit. The distance from the walking system to the side unit formwork is greater than the sum of the width of the flower trough and the width of the inner unit of the ecological retaining wall, minimizing positional conflicts between the walking system and the inner unit. The operating platform is located on the side of the outer unit side formwork facing away from the walking system. Compared to placing the construction platform between the outer unit side formwork and the walking system, this maximizes the workers' activity space without hindering their operation. Compared to existing technologies that use ground-mounted scaffolds to construct ecological retaining walls with flower troughs, this application can be directly erected on both sides of the inner unit of the retaining wall without foundation treatment, which can reduce the workload. Moreover, after the construction of this segment is completed, this device can be moved to the next construction segment through the walking system, which can be reused, thus saving construction time and construction costs.

[0013] Preferably, the walking system further includes a triangular frame connected to end B of the main beam, and a plurality of walking wheels are connected to the bottom surface of the triangular frame.

[0014] The walking system is equipped with a triangular frame to ensure structural stability.

[0015] Preferably, the triangular frame is provided with a counterweight.

[0016] The triangular frame is equipped with counterweights to minimize the risk of the device tipping over.

[0017] Preferably, it further includes a stiffening beam, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the main beam and the triangular frame, and the bottom of the stiffening beam is higher than the top surface of the outer unit side mold.

[0018] Stiffening beams are installed to ensure the structural stability of the device as much as possible. In actual use, stiffening beams are usually placed on the upper part of the inner unit, with the top surface of the inner unit being at the same height as the top surface of the outer unit. Therefore, the bottom of the stiffening beam is higher than the top surface of the outer unit's side mold, thus minimizing positional conflicts between the stiffening beam and the inner unit during use.

[0019] Preferably, it further includes a ladder connected to the side of the outer unit side mold, the distance of the ladder to the triangular frame being greater than the width of the inner unit.

[0020] In actual use, the area between the ladder and the triangular frame is used to accommodate the inner unit. Therefore, the distance between the triangular frame and the ladder is greater than that between the inner unit, which can avoid the conflict between the positions of the ladder and the inner unit as much as possible.

[0021] Preferably, the ladder is suspended from the main beam by a connecting rod.

[0022] The ladder is connected to the main beam via a hanger, which improves the structural stability of the device.

[0023] Preferably, the main beam is connected to a fixed pulley, and the outer unit side mold is connected to the fixed pulley by a sling. One end of the sling is connected to the outer unit side mold, and the other end passes around the fixed pulley and is connected to the outer unit side mold. The sling and the fixed pulley are used to lift or lower the outer unit side mold.

[0024] The main beam uses fixed pulleys to drive the outer unit side molds to rise or fall, making the structure simple and easy to operate.

[0025] Preferably, the operating platform is equipped with guardrails and anti-slip plates.

[0026] The operating platform is equipped with guardrails and anti-slip plates to protect the safety of construction workers on the platform as much as possible.

[0027] In a second aspect, this utility model provides a method for constructing an ecological retaining wall, comprising the following steps:

[0028] S1, the lower and inner units of the construction retaining wall;

[0029] S2. Erect a device for constructing an ecological retaining wall as described above. The walking system is set on the soil-facing side of the inner unit, and the outer unit side formwork is set on the soil-repelling side of the inner unit. Lock the walking system and lower the outer unit side formwork until the bottom surface of the outer unit side formwork is connected to the top surface of the lower unit.

[0030] S3. The reinforcing bars of the outer unit of the retaining wall are arranged inside the outer unit side formwork, and concrete is poured inside the outer unit side formwork.

[0031] S4. Remove the outer unit side formwork and lift it up. Move the device for constructing the ecological retaining wall as described above to the next construction segment. Repeat steps S2-S4 until the construction of the ecological retaining wall is completed.

[0032] The lower unit of the retaining wall is the unit below the outer unit.

[0033] Compared to existing technologies that use ground-mounted scaffolding for construction, this application, after completing the lower and inner units, erects the aforementioned device for constructing ecological retaining walls. This eliminates the need for foundation treatment, reducing workload and improving construction efficiency. Furthermore, after completing one segment, this application can be moved to the next segment for continued construction. Unlike existing technologies that cannot be reused, this application allows for reuse, thus saving construction costs.

[0034] Preferably, between step S1 and step S2, the top surface of the lower unit is roughened.

[0035] Roughening the top surface of the lower unit helps ensure the connection stability between the outer unit and the lower unit.

[0036] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0037] 1. This utility model provides a device for constructing an ecological retaining wall, comprising a main beam, outer unit side formwork, a walking system, and an operating platform. The outer unit side formwork and the walking system are respectively connected to both ends of the main beam, and the operating platform is connected to the side of the outer unit side formwork facing away from the walking system. The outer unit side formwork can be lifted or lowered. During construction, the position of the outer unit formwork can be adjusted according to the height of the lower unit of the retaining wall, which helps to improve construction accuracy. Furthermore, after the concrete pouring is completed, the outer unit side formwork can be demolded and lifted without affecting the device's movement to the next construction segment. The walking system and the outer unit formwork are respectively located at both ends of the main beam, and in actual use, they can be respectively positioned on both sides of the already poured inner unit. The distance from the walking system to the side unit side formwork is greater than the sum of the width of the flower trough and the width of the inner unit of the ecological retaining wall, minimizing positional conflicts between the walking system and the inner unit. The operating platform is located on the side of the outer unit side formwork facing away from the walking system. Compared to placing the construction platform between the outer unit side formwork and the walking system, this maximizes the workers' activity space without affecting their operation. Compared to existing technologies that use ground-mounted scaffolding to construct ecological retaining walls with flower troughs, this application allows for direct installation on both sides of the inner unit of the retaining wall without foundation treatment, reducing workload. Furthermore, after the completion of one segment, the device can be moved to the next segment via a mobile system, allowing for reuse and saving construction time and costs. This application overcomes the shortcomings of existing technologies that use ground-mounted scaffolding for ecological retaining walls with flower troughs, which require foundation treatment before installation, resulting in a large workload and the inability to reuse the scaffolding.

[0038] 2. This utility model provides a method for constructing an ecological retaining wall. Compared to the existing technology that uses ground-mounted scaffolding, this application, after completing the lower and inner units, erects the aforementioned device for constructing the ecological retaining wall, eliminating the foundation treatment step, reducing workload, and improving construction efficiency. Furthermore, after completing one segment, this application can move to the next segment for continued construction. Compared to the existing technology which cannot be reused, this application allows for reuse, thereby saving construction costs. Attached Figure Description

However, it should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention to the following embodiments; all technologies implemented based on the content of the present invention fall within the scope of the present invention.

[0047] Unless otherwise specified, the use of terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "center," "inner," and "outer" to indicate orientation or positional relationships in the description of specific embodiments of this utility model is based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship in which the utility model product / equipment / device is typically placed during use.

[0052] Example 1

[0053] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, a device for constructing an ecological retaining wall includes:

[0054] Main beam 1;

[0055] Outer unit side mold 2, the outer unit side mold 2 is connected to end A of the main beam 1, and the outer unit side mold 2 can be lifted or lowered;

[0056] Walking system 3, which is connected to end B of the main beam 1, and the distance from the walking system 3 to the outer unit side formwork 2 is greater than the sum of the width of the flower trough and the width of the inner unit 702 of the ecological retaining wall;

[0057] The operating platform 4 is connected to the side of the outer unit side mold 2 facing away from the walking system 3.

[0058] The width D of the flower trough is as follows Figure 1 As shown.

[0059] In this embodiment, the shape of the outer unit side mold 2 is determined according to the specific shape of the outer unit 703, and this application does not impose any restrictions.

[0060] The outer unit side formwork 2 can be raised or lowered. During construction, the position of the outer unit 703 formwork can be adjusted according to the height of the lower unit 701 of the retaining wall, which helps improve construction accuracy. Furthermore, after concrete pouring, the outer unit side formwork 2 can be demolded and raised without affecting the device's movement to the next construction segment. The walking system 3 and the outer unit 703 formwork are respectively located at both ends of the main beam 1. In actual use, they can be positioned on both sides of the already poured inner unit 702. The distance from the walking system 3 to the side unit side formwork is greater than the sum of the width of the flower trough and the width of the inner unit 702 of the ecological retaining wall, minimizing positional conflicts between the walking system 3 and the inner unit 702. The operating platform 4 is located on the side of the outer unit side formwork 2 facing away from the walking system 3. Compared to placing the construction platform between the outer unit side formwork 2 and the walking system 3, this maximizes the workers' activity space without hindering their operation. Compared to existing technologies that use ground-mounted scaffolds to construct ecological retaining walls with flower troughs, this application can be directly erected on both sides of the inner unit 702 of the retaining wall without foundation treatment, which can reduce the workload. Moreover, after the construction of this segment is completed, this device can be moved to the next construction segment for construction through the walking system 3, which can be reused, thus saving construction time and construction costs.

[0061] In an optional embodiment, the walking system 3 further includes a triangular frame 301 to ensure structural stability. The triangular frame 301 is connected to end B of the main beam 1, and a plurality of walking wheels 302 are connected to the bottom surface of the triangular frame 301. In this embodiment, the walking system 3 is provided with four walking wheels 302, which are arranged in a rectangular array on the bottom surface of the triangular frame 301. In actual use, the number of walking wheels 302 can be determined according to the actual situation and is not limited thereto; the specific shape of the triangular frame 301 is also determined according to the actual situation and is not adjusted in this application. The triangular frame 301 is provided with a counterweight 303. In this application, the counterweight 303 is in the form of a beam segment and is set between two rows of walking wheels 302 to avoid the device from tipping over as much as possible, especially when there are construction personnel on the operating platform 4, to ensure the personal safety of the construction personnel as much as possible.

[0062] Furthermore, the device also includes a stiffening beam 5, with its two ends connected to the main beam 1 and the triangular frame 301, respectively. The bottom of the stiffening beam 5 is higher than the top surface of the outer unit side mold 2. The stiffening beam 5 is provided to ensure the structural stability of the device as much as possible. Because in actual use, the stiffening beam 5 is usually located on the upper part of the inner unit 702, and the top surface of the inner unit 702 is at the same height as the top surface of the outer unit 703, the bottom of the stiffening beam 5 is higher than the top surface of the outer unit side mold 2, thus minimizing positional conflict between the stiffening beam 5 and the inner unit 702 during use.

[0063] Furthermore, it also includes a ladder 6, which is connected to the side of the outer unit side mold 2. The distance from the ladder 6 to the triangular frame 301 is greater than the width of the inner unit 702. In actual use, the area between the ladder and the triangular frame 301 is used to accommodate the inner unit 702. Therefore, the distance between the triangular frame 301 and the ladder 6 is greater than that between the inner unit 702, which can minimize the conflict between the positions of the ladder 6 and the inner unit 702. In actual use, construction workers enter the operating platform 4 through the ladder 6. In this embodiment, the ladder 6 is hoisted to the main beam 1 by a connecting rod 601.

[0064] Furthermore, the main beam 1 is connected to a fixed pulley ( Figures 2-4 (All figures are shown in the image). The outer unit side mold 2 is connected to the fixed pulley via a sling 202. One end of the sling 202 is connected to the outer unit side mold 2, and the other end passes around the fixed pulley and is connected to the outer unit side mold 2. The sling 202 and the fixed pulley are used to lift or lower the outer unit side mold 2. The main beam 1 drives the outer unit side mold 2 to rise or fall by setting the fixed pulley, which is simple in structure and easy to operate. In this embodiment, a hand-operated hoist can be directly used to replace the fixed pulley and the sling 202.

[0065] Furthermore, the operating platform 4 is equipped with guardrails 401 and anti-slip plates ( Figures 2-4 (All figures are shown in the image), to protect the safety of construction workers on the operating platform as much as possible. The height of guardrail 401 is determined according to the actual situation, and this application does not impose any restrictions.

[0066] Preferably, this device is suitable for cliff terrain, wherein the outer unit 703 is set on the suspended surface of the cliff, and the inner unit 702 is provided with a road on the inner side facing away from the cliff for the walking wheel 302 to pass through.

[0067] Example 2

[0068] like Figure 5 As shown, a method for constructing an ecological retaining wall includes the following steps:

[0069] S1, the lower unit 701 and the inner unit 702 of the construction retaining wall;

[0070] S2. Erect a device for constructing an ecological retaining wall as described in Example 1. The walking system 3 is set on the soil-facing side of the inner unit 702, and the outer unit side mold 2 is set on the soil-repelling side of the inner unit 702. Lock the walking system 3 and lower the outer unit side mold 2 until the bottom surface of the outer unit side mold 2 is connected to the top surface of the lower unit 701.

[0071] S3. The steel bars of the outer unit 703 of the retaining wall are arranged inside the outer unit side formwork 2, and concrete is poured inside the outer unit side formwork 2.

[0072] S4. Remove the outer unit side formwork 2 and lift it up. Move the device for constructing an ecological retaining wall as described in Example 1 to the next construction segment. Repeat steps S2-S4 until the construction of the ecological retaining wall is completed.

[0073] Compared to existing technologies that use ground-mounted scaffolding for construction, this application, after completing the lower unit 701 and inner unit 702, erects the aforementioned device for constructing an ecological retaining wall. This eliminates the need for foundation treatment, reducing workload and improving construction efficiency. Furthermore, after completing one segment, this application can move to the next segment for continued construction. Unlike existing technologies that cannot be reused, this application allows for reuse, thus saving construction costs.

[0074] Between steps S1 and S2, the top surface of the lower unit 701 is roughened to ensure the connection stability between the outer unit 703 and the lower unit 701.

[0075] The above content is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
