Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of slope protection technology, and in particular to a geocell equipped with a chip. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of civil engineering, geocells, as a novel three-dimensional mesh geosynthetic material, have been widely used in projects such as roadbed reinforcement, slope protection, and foundation treatment. Traditional geocells are mainly composed of polymer sheets welded or riveted together using ultrasonic welding to form a honeycomb or mesh structure, with their nodes typically fixed using mechanical connections. However, existing geocells suffer from a lack of intelligent management methods in the production, storage, logistics, and use stages, relying on manual records which are prone to errors and make full lifecycle traceability difficult. Furthermore, existing geocells lack monitoring functions and disaster early warning capabilities, failing to monitor key parameters such as displacement and pressure within the soil in real time, thus lacking an effective early warning mechanism for potential risks such as retaining wall deformation and slope instability.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0016] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0017] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0018] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0019] Please see Figure 1 This application provides a geocell with a chip, comprising a plurality of geocell pieces 1 and nodes 2 disposed between the geocell pieces 1 for connecting adjacent geocell pieces 1, with a chip 3 disposed on the node 2. This embodiment utilizes the chip 3 on the node 2 to achieve purposes such as production management, inventory management, logistics monitoring, and usage positioning of the geocell, and can also measure the displacement of the geocell within the soil, perform foundation pressure measurement, provide early warning of retaining walls and slope hazards, etc.

[0020] In one embodiment, node 2 is provided with mounting holes / grooves, and chip 3 is fixed in the mounting holes / grooves. The chip 3 is physically fixed by the mechanical limiting structure (holes / grooves), which not only prevents the creep and compression of the geomaterial from damaging the chip 3, but also facilitates later maintenance and replacement.

[0021] In one embodiment, chip 3 is embedded within node 2, forming a single integrated structure. Chip 3 is encapsulated within the material of node 2, achieving a seamless connection using ultrasonic welding or injection molding. This design prevents chip 3 from being directly exposed to the corrosive soil environment, while reducing stress concentration points and extending the lifespan of chip 3.

[0022] Specifically, when the micropile welding chamber adopts the hot-melt welding process, the chip 3 is pre-placed in the welding molten pool area of ​​the chamber piece 1 using a precision mold. During the ultrasonic hot-melt process, the chip 3 is encapsulated and solidified by the polymer molten paste, forming a "sandwich" embedded structure, ensuring both welding strength and chip 3 protection.

[0023] In the design of injection molding node 2, an innovative dual-injection molding process is adopted. After the first injection molding forms the basic node 2 framework, the chip 3 is positioned at the interface between the two cell sheets 1, and the second injection molding of polymer material achieves a fully sealed encapsulation. This process ensures the tensile strength of node 2 while enabling chip 3 to achieve IP68-level waterproof protection.

[0024] In one embodiment, chip 3 is a LoRa chip. LoRa technology uses spread spectrum modulation, which allows for a longer communication distance than traditional wireless technologies at the same power consumption. Combined with a sleep / wake-up mechanism, a single battery can support several years of operation, meeting the needs of long-term field monitoring. LoRa chips feature long-distance transmission and low power consumption, making them suitable for inventory management in large warehouses or between multiple warehouses, as well as for remote monitoring and data acquisition, such as slope displacement monitoring.

[0025] In addition, various types of chips, such as MCU (microcontroller) chips, Zigbee chips, and RFID chips, can be used. The specific type and model of the chip can be freely selected according to the usage requirements.

[0026] In one embodiment, chip 3 integrates a pressure sensor for real-time monitoring of pressure changes inside the geocell and transmits the data to an external monitoring terminal via a wireless transmission module. The pressure sensor, integrated into chip 3 using MEMS technology, converts soil pressure into an electrical signal, which is then converted from analog to digital and transmitted to the gateway via a LoRa module. The cloud platform identifies abnormal patterns in the data stream and triggers an early warning mechanism when thresholds are exceeded, forming a closed-loop safety management system.

[0027] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are 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.
