Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of environmental improvement technology for green spaces under bridges, and in particular to a device for supplementing light and water for plants in green spaces under bridges. Background Technology

[0002] Overpasses and viaducts are inevitable products of modern cities in solving congestion within limited road space. While bringing smoother urban traffic, they also generate negative impacts on the environment, economy, and landscape, creating certain negative spaces under the bridges. Green spaces under bridges are one of the effective ways to alleviate this contradiction. However, problems such as insufficient sunlight, lack of rainfall, and traffic pollution caused by bridge cover adversely affect their landscape utilization. The normal growth of plants under bridges is affected by factors such as insufficient sunlight, lack of rainfall, soil compaction, vehicle exhaust, and noise, resulting in poor landscape effects under extensive management.

[0003] Currently, rainwater from elevated bridges is typically drained in two ways: either by collecting it through a drainage pipe and then discharging it into municipal pipelines, or by discharging it directly into the green space under the bridge through a drainage pipe. The first method increases the pressure on the municipal pipeline network and neglects the effective utilization of rainwater resources. The second method has some benefits for replenishing the green space under the bridge, but discharging it directly into the green space without treatment causes pollutants from the rainwater to accumulate in the green space. The soil around the drainage outlet may also be eroded by excessive rainwater, forming puddles, which is not conducive to the normal growth of plants.

[0004] Currently, many planting devices have been developed to improve the greening of elevated bridges, but these mainly focus on rainwater harvesting and irrigation, bridge deck greening, and bridge pier column greening. There is a lack of integrated devices that address the insufficient light and water in shaded areas under bridges. Therefore, we propose a device for supplementing light and water for plants in shaded areas under bridges. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a water and light supplementation device for bridge shade plants in the construction of green spaces under bridges such as viaducts and overpasses. It can collect, purify and utilize rainwater and supplement light for plants, while also having a landscape effect. It effectively solves problems such as rainwater runoff collection, purification and utilization on bridge surfaces, inconvenience in the management of bridge shade green spaces, and improvement of the light environment of bridge shade green spaces. It is suitable for the landscape design and construction of viaducts and the construction of sponge cities.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A device for supplementing light and water in a bridge-shaded green space includes a bridge pier, a water collection pipe, a hardened area, a filter layer, an overflow pipe, a water storage tank, a supplemental lighting system, a control system, and the bridge-shaded green space. The water collection pipe, fixed to the bridge pier, collects rainwater, which flows through a rain grate into the filter layer. After the filter layer purifies the rainwater, it flows into the water storage tank through the overflow pipe. Rainwater exceeding the water storage tank flows into the bridge-shaded green space through the overflow pipe and the permeable area. The water storage tank is equipped with a water pump connected to a sprinkler head to irrigate the bridge-shaded green space. The supplemental lighting system and the sprinkler head are staggered. The circuits of both the sprinkler system and the supplemental lighting system are connected to the control system on the bridge pier for unified control.

[0008] Furthermore, the bridge piers and water collection pipes are all municipal viaduct facilities and will not be modified. The hardened area is set away from the foundation of the bridge piers and is located in the suitable vegetation area near the water collection pipes of the bridge piers.

[0009] Furthermore, the main frame material of the hardened area is one of plastic, concrete or stainless steel, and the size and depth are set according to actual needs. The hardened area includes a filter layer and a water storage tank, which are arranged adjacent to each other. A rain grate is provided above the filter layer and is located below the water collection pipe. Rainwater flows from the water collection pipe through the rain grate into the filter layer, is purified by the filter layer filler, and then flows into the water storage tank through the overflow pipe.

[0010] Furthermore, the filter layer packing consists of coarse particles, medium particles, and fine particles from top to bottom. The coarse particles have a particle size of 11–15 mm, the medium particles have a particle size of 6–10 mm, and the fine particles have a particle size of 1–5 mm. The ratio of the coarse particles, medium particles, and fine particles is 1:2:2.

[0011] Furthermore, the water storage tank is connected via an overflow pipe at the bottom of the filter layer. A water pump is installed inside the water storage tank, and the outlet of the water pump is connected to multiple sprinkler heads via a water pipe. The sprinkler heads are located in the dry area in the middle of the bridge shade green space, and the installation spacing of the sprinkler heads is at least 3m. A permeable area is provided on the upper part of the water storage tank. The permeable area is a permeable pavement and is located on one or more sides connected to the bridge shade green space. The height of the permeable area is less than 1 / 4 of the water storage tank. An overflow pipe is provided in the permeable area of ​​the water storage tank to drain excess rainwater into the bridge shade green space.

[0012] Furthermore, the supplemental lighting system is installed in the shady area along the central line of the bridge shaded green space. The supplemental lighting system includes a support rod, a rotating shaft, and plant supplemental lights. The support rod has a rotating shaft structure at the bend to adjust the direction. The height of the support rod is telescopic and adjustable. The height of the support rod is 1 to 2 meters. The plant supplemental lights are long tubes with a vertical downward lighting direction. The installation spacing of the plant supplemental lights is 2 to 3 meters.

[0013] Furthermore, the supplemental lighting system is staggered from the sprinkler head to avoid interference. The circuits of the supplemental lighting system and the water pump are both connected to the control system. The control system is fixed on the bridge pier at a height of 1.5 to 2 meters. The control system can be set to timed watering and supplemental lighting to control the timing of supplemental lighting and watering for plants.

[0014] Furthermore, the plant configuration of the bridge shade green space is a tree-shrub-grass, shrub-grass, or herbaceous structure.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the lighting and watering device for trees in shaded green spaces described in this utility model has the following advantages:

[0016] (1) This utility model has a strong overall appearance. Rainwater from the road surface is discharged into the filter layer through the water collection pipe and rain grate. After being rapidly purified by layers of coarse, medium and fine particle fillers, it flows into the water storage tank for collection. The upper layer of filler has good permeability and high collection efficiency, and the fine particle filler can effectively remove rainwater pollutants. In addition, permeable bricks and overflow pipes are set around the upper layer of the water storage tank. The purified rainwater exceeding the capacity of the water storage tank can be directly infiltrated into the bridge shade green space through the overflow pipe and permeable bricks, which will not cause waterlogging. It can be directly irrigated to the bridge shade green space, thus improving the resource utilization rate.

[0017] (2) The water pump outlet pipe in the water storage tank of this utility model is connected to multiple sprinkler heads, which can be controlled by the control system to irrigate the central dry area of ​​the bridge shade greening, effectively utilizing rainwater; the supplementary lighting system has multiple plant supplementary lights, the lighting direction of the supplementary lights is vertically downward, maximizing the use of lighting, and the side will not affect the traffic line of sight; the direction and height of the supplementary lighting system support rod are adjustable, and can be changed accordingly with the growth height of the bridge shade plants, which is simple and flexible.

[0018] (3) The supplementary lighting system and sprinkler head of this utility model are set alternately to avoid mutual shading and interference; the circuits of the supplementary lighting system and the water pump are controlled by the control system installed on the bridge pier. The supplementary lighting duration and watering time can be adjusted in a timely manner through system regulation, reducing manpower consumption, effectively improving the light and water conditions of the shaded environment in the central area of ​​the bridge shaded green space, promoting plant growth and improving landscape quality.
