[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of drainage in landscaping, and in particular to a drainage mechanism for landscaping. Background Technology
[0002] Landscape greening is the creation of beautiful natural environments and recreational areas within a specific region through engineering techniques and artistic methods, including modifying the terrain, planting trees and flowers, constructing buildings, and arranging garden paths. Drainage ditches are installed along the roadsides in landscape greening projects to drain accumulated water and rainwater away.
[0003] However, most existing drainage ditches are covered with cast iron grates. Because rainwater and fallen leaves carry sediment and silt, the cast iron grates cannot intercept these substances, causing them to enter and accumulate in the drainage ditch. If not cleaned for a long time, the accumulated sludge will affect the drainage function of the ditch, resulting in poor drainage. Moreover, cleaning drainage ditches is difficult, time-consuming, and laborious, and it is not easy to clean them thoroughly. Therefore, a new type of drainage system for landscaping is needed.

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0028] This utility model provides a technical solution, such as Figures 1-3 As shown; a garden greening drainage mechanism includes: a drainage ditch 1, set on the ground on both sides of the garden road; a cast iron grate 2, embedded above the drainage ditch 1, with several grate baffles 21 on its lower surface, the grate baffles 21 being located at both ends of the grate opening of the cast iron grate 2 and perpendicular to the cast iron grate 2, with pin holes 22 at the four corners of its upper surface, and threaded holes 23 at the lower end of the pin holes 22; an inverted U-shaped frame 3, set on the lower surface of the cast iron grate 2 and connected by bolts, located on both sides of the grate opening of the cast iron grate 2, its lower end being connected by a transverse short rod 31, and filter openings on both sides of its side surface, with filter screens 32 installed inside the filter openings.
[0029] In this embodiment of the invention, the grate baffle 21 and the inverted U-shaped frame 3 on the lower surface of the cast iron grate 2 form a square sleeve below the grate opening of the cast iron grate 2. The lower end of the sleeve is then blocked by the lifting square cylinder 4, allowing rainwater and accumulated water to remain inside the square sleeve during discharge. The simple filtration of the filter screen 32 allows rainwater and silt to enter the drainage ditch for discharge, while debris remains above the lifting square cylinder 4. This keeps the inside of the drainage ditch 1 clean, reduces the accumulation of silt, and lowers the risk of blockage in the drainage ditch 1.
[0030] In this embodiment of the utility model, the strength of the cast iron grate 2 can be improved by using the grate baffle 21 and the inverted U-shaped frame 3, thereby ensuring its service life and preventing the cast iron grate 2 from deforming or being damaged during long-term use.
[0031] In this embodiment of the utility model, by utilizing the vertical arrangement of the filter screen 32, the heavy silt carried by rainwater and stagnant water can be deposited above the lifting cylinder 4, thereby reducing the amount of silt in the drainage ditch 1 and further reducing the risk of the drainage ditch 1 becoming blocked.
[0032] The lifting square tube 4 is located below the grate opening of the cast iron grate 2 and slides in contact with the inverted U-shaped frame 3 and the grate opening baffle 21. It is composed of a square metal tube 41 and a rubber square tube 42. The rubber square tube 42 is fitted on the outside of the square metal tube 41 and slides in contact with the inverted U-shaped frame 3 and the grate opening baffle 21. The lifting baffle 5 is set in the drainage ditch 1 and connected to the square metal tube 41. It has several drainage holes 51, which are located below the inverted U-shaped frame 3. The lifting pin 6 is movably inserted into the pin hole 22 and is movably connected to the lifting baffle 5. It is equipped with a fixing stud 61 and a concealed pull ring 62 at its upper end. The concealed pull ring 62 is located above the cast iron grate 2.
[0033] In this embodiment of the utility model, a lifting square tube 4 composed of a square metal tube 41 and a rubber square tube 42 is used. The support of the square metal tube 41 can ensure the stability of the shape of the rubber square tube 42 and prevent it from deforming. The elasticity of the rubber square tube 42 allows it to be smoothly inserted into the square sleeve formed by the grate baffle 21 and the inverted U-shaped frame 3, avoiding large gaps between the rubber square tube 42 and the grate baffle 21 and the inverted U-shaped frame 3, thereby ensuring the tightness of the connection and ensuring the smooth filtration of accumulated water and rainwater.
[0034] In this embodiment of the utility model, the drainage hole 51 provided on the lifting baffle 5 can facilitate the rapid discharge of rainwater and accumulated water, ensuring the overall discharge efficiency of the device, while reducing the weight of the lifting baffle 5.
[0035] In this embodiment of the utility model, the lifting pin 6 drives the lifting baffle 5 to rise, so that the lifting square cylinder 4 pushes the debris to rise, so as to clean up the debris and facilitate the maintenance and cleaning by the staff.
[0036] In this embodiment of the utility model, by using the threaded connection between the fixing stud 61 and the threaded hole 23, the lifting pin 6 can be fixed to the cast iron grate 2 after it rises, thereby preventing the lifting baffle 5 from falling accidentally and making it more convenient to clean up debris.
[0037] In this embodiment of the utility model, the hidden pull ring 62 is used to allow workers to quickly lift the lifting pin 6 by utilizing the handle hidden inside the hidden pull ring 62, while also ensuring the aesthetics and practicality of the device itself.
[0038] In this utility model, the grate opening of the cast iron grate 2 is square, and the inner wall of the grate opening is a smooth surface; this allows the rubber square tube 42 to be easily inserted into the grate opening of the cast iron grate 2 and then pushed out from the grate opening of the cast iron grate 2.
[0039] In this invention, the inverted U-shaped frame 3 and the grate baffle 21 form a square sleeve below the cast iron grate 2, ensuring that rainwater and accumulated water can be fully filtered.
[0040] In this invention, the lifting pin 6 drives the lifting baffle 5 to move upward, so that the fixing stud 61 is inserted into the threaded hole 23. By rotating the lifting pin 6, the fixing stud 61 is installed into the threaded hole 23. After the fixing stud 61 is installed into the threaded hole 23, the upper end of the lifting square cylinder 4 is inserted into the grate opening of the cast iron grate 2, and its upper surface is flush with the upper surface of the cast iron grate 2. This makes it convenient for workers to clean up debris and improves the ease of maintenance.
[0041] In this invention, the mesh size of the filter plate 32 is less than or equal to 5mm; to prevent debris from entering the drainage ditch.
[0042] In this invention, the upper surface of the cast iron grate 2 is flush with the ground, ensuring the flatness between the drainage ditch and the road surface.
[0043] In specific use of this utility model, when rainwater and accumulated water flow into the upper part of the drainage ditch 1, the rainwater and accumulated water are initially intercepted by the cast iron grate 2, which intercepts large debris or large leaves carried in it above the cast iron grate 2. Then, the rainwater and accumulated water enter the lower part of the cast iron grate 2 through the grate opening and enter the square space composed of the grate opening baffle 21, the inverted U-shaped frame 3 and the lifting square cylinder 4. Then, the rainwater and accumulated water accumulate inside and are filtered a second time by the filter screen 32, so that the filtered rainwater flows into the drainage ditch 1, while the filtered debris remains above the lifting square cylinder 4.
[0044] During daily use, staff regularly inspect and observe the amount of debris inside the grate opening of the cast iron grate 2. When a large amount of debris is observed at the grate opening of a cast iron grate 2, the staff flips out the handles inside the two concealed pull rings 62 at opposite corners on the cast iron grate 2, and then pulls the handles of the concealed pull rings 62 upwards, causing the lifting pins 6 to rise. The rise of the two diagonally opposite lifting pins 6 then drives the lifting baffle 5 to rise, thereby causing the lifting square cylinder 4 to push the debris upwards.
[0045] When the worker pulls the rod upward a certain distance, the fixing stud 61 moves below the threaded hole 23 and the worker can no longer pull it upward. At this time, the worker manually rotates the concealed pull ring 62 to make the fixing stud 61 rotate. Then, by using the threaded connection between the fixing stud 61 and the threaded hole 23, the lifting pin 6 slowly rises. The worker manually turns the four concealed pull rings 62 one by one to connect all the fixing studs 61 with the threaded holes 23. When the upper surface of the lifting square cylinder 4 is aligned with the upper surface of the cast iron grate 2, the worker can stop rotating the concealed pull ring 62.
[0046] Then, the staff can clean the debris above the cast iron grate 2. After the debris is cleaned, the staff will rotate the four concealed pull rings 62 in reverse one by one, so that the fixing studs 61 can be unscrewed from the threaded holes 23. Then, the staff will push the concealed pull rings 62 downward, so that the lifting pin 6 moves downward, and then the lifting baffle 5 drives the lifting square cylinder 4 to move downward. When the concealed pull rings 62 come into contact with the cast iron grate 2, the lifting square cylinder 4 will complete the reset work.
