Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waterway improvement technology, and in particular to an ecological framework for waterway improvement. Background Technology

[0002] Where the river's current slows down, silt easily accumulates, reducing water depth and affecting normal navigation. The conventional approach is to use dredgers or silt removal vessels to clear the silt and restore water depth, ensuring safe passage for vessels. Especially during floods or heavy rains, high-speed water flows erode riverbanks, causing soil to be washed into the riverbed. This fine, loose silt can alter the riverbed's shape, raise its elevation, and even lead to downstream sediment buildup, threatening the safety of water conservancy facilities.

[0003] Existing methods include using rigid structures such as concrete revetments or simple ecological measures to improve the situation; however, concrete revetments have poor ecological compatibility and hinder the exchange of substances between the water and the bank, while simple ecological measures have weak erosion resistance and are not suitable for extreme water flows. Therefore, an ecological framework for waterway regulation is needed to address these issues. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide an ecological framework for waterway improvement, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] An ecological framework for waterway improvement includes an ecological framework body, which includes a protective frame. The protective frame has a receiving trough and planting components in the middle, a triangular limiting block on one side, and an anti-slip toothed strip and positioning nails at the bottom.

[0007] The planting component includes a planting frame, the top of which is provided with a limiting top plate, and the bottom of which is provided with a through hole and a positioning groove, with a connecting nail in the middle of the positioning groove.

[0008] Preferably, the protective frame has a receiving groove in the middle, and the receiving groove extends through the protective frame. There are multiple receiving grooves, which are evenly distributed in the middle of the protective frame. The top of the protective frame has an arc-shaped drainage groove, and there are multiple arc-shaped drainage grooves, which are evenly distributed in the top of the protective frame. The arc-shaped drainage grooves are arranged adjacent to the receiving grooves.

[0009] Preferably, the two ends of the arc-shaped drainage groove penetrate the top and bottom of the protective frame, and a positioning nail is threadedly connected to one side of the protective frame. The bottom end of the positioning nail penetrates the protective frame. A groove is provided on the outer wall of the positioning nail, and there are two grooves, which are symmetrically distributed on the outer wall of the positioning nail. There are four positioning nails, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the protective frame.

[0010] Preferably, the protective frame has a through groove on its side, which runs through both sides of the protective frame. The through groove is not connected to the receiving groove. A triangular limiting block is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the protective frame. There are multiple triangular limiting blocks, which are evenly distributed on one side of the bottom of the protective frame. A certain distance is set between every two triangular limiting blocks.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the protective frame is fixedly connected with an anti-slip toothed strip, and there are two anti-slip toothed strips, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the bottom of the protective frame, and the two anti-slip toothed strips are symmetrically distributed on both sides of multiple triangular limiting blocks.

[0012] Preferably, the planting frame is inserted into the receiving groove, and the planting frame and the receiving groove are correspondingly arranged. The top of the planting frame is fixedly connected to a limiting top plate, and the bottom of the limiting top plate is in contact with the top of the protective frame. A through hole is opened in the middle of the bottom of the planting frame, and a positioning groove is opened at the bottom of the planting frame. The positioning groove is arranged adjacent to the through hole, and a connecting nail is threaded into the inside of the positioning groove.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. The protective frame is positioned by setting positioning anchors, triangular limiting blocks, and anti-slip teeth, thereby improving the stability of the protective frame. The bottom triangular limiting blocks and symmetrically distributed anti-slip teeth can embed into the riverbed or bank soil, resisting water erosion through physical interlocking and preventing frame displacement. The positioning anchors, combined with grooves, increase friction with the soil, further anchoring the frame, which is especially suitable for soft riverbeds.

[0015] 2. The planting frame is inserted into the receiving slot in the middle of the protective frame, facilitating the planting of greenery. The planting frame can be filled with soil and planted with aquatic or moisture-tolerant plants (such as reeds and calamus). The plant roots extend to the outside through the through-holes, consolidating the soil and forming an ecological barrier. Simultaneously, the planting frame is movably connected to the protective frame, facilitating the replacement of withered greenery and improving the ease of use of the device. Furthermore, the planting frame is positioned and connected by connecting nails through the positioning slots, thereby improving the stability of the protective frame's connection to the riverbank.

[0016] 3. The protective frame and planting frame can be prefabricated and then connected on-site, reducing complex construction processes and making it especially suitable for remote waterway areas. Compared with traditional concrete revetments, it can reduce long-term maintenance costs, and the plant community can attract aquatic organisms, restore river biodiversity, and conform to the trend of ecological waterway improvement.

[0024] An ecological framework for waterway improvement, with a structure as follows: Figure 1-4As shown, the system includes an ecological framework body 1, which comprises a protective frame 2. The protective frame 2 has a receiving groove 3 and a planting component 10 in its center. A triangular limiting block 8 is located on one side of the protective frame 2, and anti-slip toothed strips 9 and positioning nails 6 are located at the bottom. Multiple receiving grooves 3 are evenly distributed throughout the protective frame 2, allowing for flexible configuration of planting density to adapt to different slopes of the shoreline or riverbed. Multiple arc-shaped drainage channels 5 are evenly distributed at the top of the protective frame 2, adjacent to the receiving grooves 3. These channels quickly divert rainwater runoff, preventing water erosion.

[0025] The two ends of the arc-shaped drainage channel 5 penetrate the top and bottom of the protective frame 2. One side of the protective frame 2 is connected to a positioning nail 6 by a thread, and the bottom end of the positioning nail 6 penetrates the protective frame 2. There are two grooves 7 on the outer wall of the positioning nail 6, which are symmetrically distributed on the outer wall of the positioning nail 6. There are four positioning nails 6, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the protective frame 2. The side of the protective frame 2 is provided with a through groove 4, which penetrates both sides of the protective frame 2. The through groove 4 is not connected to the receiving groove 3. A triangular limiting block 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the protective frame 2, and there are multiple triangular limiting blocks 8, which are evenly distributed on one side of the bottom of the protective frame 2. A certain distance is set between each pair of triangular limiting blocks 8. The bottom of the protective frame 2 is fixedly connected with anti-slip toothed strips 9, and there are two anti-slip toothed strips 9, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the bottom of the protective frame 2. The two anti-slip toothed strips 9 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of multiple triangular limiting blocks 8. The protective frame 2 protects the riverbank soil. The through groove 4 set in the middle of the protective frame 2 reduces the weight of the protective frame 2 and facilitates the drainage of water. At the same time, the positioning nails 6, triangular limiting blocks 8 and anti-slip toothed strips 9 are used to position the protective frame 2, improve the stability of the protective frame 2, and prevent the protective frame 2 from slipping off the riverbank during use, which would affect the efficiency of use.

[0026] The planting assembly 10 includes a planting frame 11. A limiting top plate 12 is provided at the top of the planting frame 11, and a through hole 13 and a positioning groove 14 are provided at the bottom of the planting frame 11. A connecting pin 15 is provided in the middle of the positioning groove 14.

[0027] This utility model discloses an ecological framework for waterway dredging. In use, one end of the protective frame 2, equipped with a triangular limiting block 8, is snapped onto the top of the riverbank. Pressing down on the protective frame 2 causes the triangular limiting block 8 to insert into the soil. Simultaneously, the anti-slip toothed strip 9 at the bottom of the protective frame 2 is also inserted into the soil. Four positioning nails 6 are then inserted into the soil through the four corners of the protective frame 2. Grooves 7 are provided on the outer wall of the positioning nails 6 to increase friction with the soil. Finally, the planting frame 11 is placed into the receiving groove 3 in the middle of the protective frame 2, and then connected... The nail 15 penetrates the positioning groove 14 at the bottom of the planting frame 11 and is inserted into the soil. The limiting top plate 12 at the top of the planting frame 11 contacts the top of the protective frame 2, which facilitates the planting of green plants. The planting frame 11 and the protective frame 2 are movably connected, which facilitates the change of the shape of the green plants and improves the aesthetics of the riverbank. When the roots of the green plants inside the planting frame 11 are embedded in the soil, the soil loss is reduced, which improves the practicality of the device. The through groove 4 and the arc-shaped drainage groove 5 are used to drain rainwater and reduce the situation where rainwater carries away the soil.
