Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of reservoir embankment technology, specifically to an eco-friendly reservoir embankment vegetation slope protection structure. Background Technology
[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization and the increasing demand for water resource management, the safety and stability of reservoirs and dikes have become important research topics.
[0003] Traditional methods of dike protection often involve the use of concrete or stone masonry, which, while possessing high physical strength, are prone to cracking over long-term use, leading to soil erosion and ecosystem degradation. In recent years, eco-friendly slope protection technologies have gradually gained attention, using vegetation planting to enhance soil consolidation, reduce erosion, and improve environmental quality.
[0004] In summary, while traditional slope protection methods can provide good physical protection in the short term, they lack ecological functions and will cause environmental pollution and ecological damage in the long term. On the other hand, while ecological slope protection methods can improve the ecological environment, they are highly dependent on natural conditions and have poor adaptability, failing to meet the diverse needs of different regions and climates. To address these issues, an eco-friendly reservoir embankment vegetation slope protection structure has been proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides an eco-friendly reservoir embankment vegetation slope protection structure that can achieve the goals of ecological restoration and environmental protection while ensuring embankment safety, thereby improving the overall performance and sustainability of the system.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: an eco-friendly reservoir embankment vegetation slope protection structure, comprising a slope protection body, an embankment mechanism, and a drainage mechanism. The embankment mechanism includes a base layer laid on the outer surface of the slope protection body, a drainage layer laid on top of the base layer, a wire mesh reinforcement layer laid on top of the drainage layer, a vegetation layer laid on top of the wire mesh reinforcement layer, and a covering layer installed on top of the vegetation layer. The drainage mechanism includes a transverse drainage channel fixedly connected to the bottom of the slope protection body, and a vertical filter screen and a transverse filter screen installed inside the transverse drainage channel.
[0007] The above scheme achieves several goals: the base layer initially stabilizes the soil and provides basic support; the drainage layer removes excess water and keeps the slope surface dry; the vegetation layer allows for the planting of local drought- and salt-tolerant plants, meeting diverse needs under different regional and climatic conditions and improving the ecological environment; the wire mesh reinforcement layer provides additional support to help plant roots stabilize the soil; the covering layer further secures seedlings, prevents rainwater erosion, and promotes rapid root growth; and the drainage system further enhances drainage efficiency, prevents water accumulation, reduces soil erosion, and ensures the safety of the embankment while achieving ecological restoration and environmental protection goals, thus improving the overall performance and sustainability of the system.
[0008] Furthermore, the base layer is composed of a mixture of natural gravel and organic materials, and the thickness of the base layer is 50 cm.
[0009] The above scheme limits the composition of the base layer, which can be better used for initial soil fixation and provide basic support. Furthermore, the organic materials added can increase the organic matter content of the soil, enhance soil cohesion and structural stability, and reduce soil erosion.
[0010] Furthermore, the drainage layer is composed of a mixture of fine sand and pebbles, and the thickness of the drainage layer is 20cm.
[0011] The above scheme defines the composition of the drainage layer, which can be used to remove excess water and keep the surface of the slope protection body dry.
[0012] Furthermore, a permeable fabric is laid between the base layer and the drainage layer.
[0013] The above-mentioned solution allows the permeable fabric to more effectively remove moisture, reducing the problem of poor vegetation growth caused by excessive moisture.
[0014] Furthermore, the vegetation layer is planted with drought-resistant and salt-tolerant native plants, such as bermudagrass and ryegrass, with an initial plant density of 40 plants per square meter.
[0015] By employing the above approach, planting native plants in the vegetation layer can meet the diverse needs of the corresponding regions and climatic conditions.
[0016] Furthermore, the covering layer is a mesh-like covering made of a biodegradable material, preferably polylactic acid fiber.
[0017] The above solution enables the covering layer to have good air permeability and degradability, and a long service life.
[0018] Furthermore, the vertical filter screen is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the horizontal drainage channel, and the outer surface of the vertical filter screen is in contact with the bottom of the vegetation layer, the wire mesh reinforcement layer and the drainage layer.
[0019] The above scheme limits the positional relationship of the vertical filter screens, enabling better drainage of the dike structure.
[0020] Furthermore, the horizontal filter screen is fixedly connected between the horizontal drainage channel and the vertical filter screen.
[0021] The above-mentioned solution effectively prevents debris from entering the horizontal drainage channel and affecting its drainage efficiency.
[0022] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0023] This eco-friendly reservoir embankment vegetation slope protection structure utilizes a base layer to initially stabilize the soil and provide basic support. A drainage layer removes excess water, keeping the slope surface dry. A vegetation layer allows for the planting of native drought- and salt-tolerant plants, meeting diverse needs under varying regional and climatic conditions and improving the ecological environment. A wire mesh reinforcement layer provides additional support, helping plant roots anchor in the soil. A covering layer further secures seedlings, preventing rain erosion and promoting rapid root growth. The drainage system further enhances drainage efficiency and prevents water accumulation, reducing soil erosion and improving overall protection capabilities. It effectively resists water erosion, significantly strengthens soil consolidation, reduces soil loss, and achieves the goals of ecological restoration and environmental protection. Planting native vegetation also promotes the restoration of biodiversity. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0031] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The eco-friendly reservoir embankment vegetation slope protection structure in this embodiment includes a slope protection body 1, a embankment mechanism 2, and a drainage mechanism 3. The embankment mechanism 2 includes a base layer 201 laid on the outer surface of the slope protection body 1. The base layer 201 is composed of a mixture of natural gravel 2011 and organic material 2012. The thickness of the base layer 201 is 50cm, which limits the composition of the base layer 201 and enables it to better fix the soil initially and provide basic support. In addition, the organic material 2012 can also increase the organic matter content of the soil, enhance the soil's cohesion and structural stability, and reduce soil erosion. The organic material 2012 is a material such as humus or plant residue. A drainage layer 203 is laid on top of the base layer 201. The drainage layer 203 is composed of a mixture of fine sand 2031 and pebbles 2032. The thickness of the drainage layer 203 is 20cm, which limits the composition of the drainage layer 203 and enables it to remove excess water and keep the surface of the slope protection body 1 dry.
[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3A permeable fabric 202 is laid between the base layer 201 and the drainage layer 203. The permeable fabric 202 can more effectively drain water and reduce the problem of poor vegetation growth caused by excessive water. A wire mesh reinforcement layer 204 is laid above the drainage layer 203, and a vegetation layer 205 is laid above the wire mesh reinforcement layer 204. The vegetation layer 205 is planted with drought-resistant and salt-tolerant native plants, such as bermudagrass and ryegrass. The initial planting density is 40 plants per square meter. Planting native plants in the vegetation layer 205 can meet the diverse needs of the corresponding region and climate conditions, and at the same time improve the ecological environment. A covering layer 206 is installed on top of the vegetation layer 205. The covering layer 206 is a mesh-like covering made of biodegradable material. The biodegradable material is preferably polylactic acid fiber, which can give the covering layer 206 good air permeability and degradability, and a long service life.
[0033] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The drainage mechanism 3 includes a transverse drainage channel 301 fixedly connected to the bottom of the slope protection body 1. The transverse drainage channel 301 can further improve the drainage effect of the device. A vertical filter screen 302 and a transverse filter screen 303 are installed inside the transverse drainage channel 301. The vertical filter screen 302 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the transverse drainage channel 301, and the outer surface of the vertical filter screen 302 is in contact with the bottom of the vegetation layer 205, the wire mesh reinforcement layer 204 and the drainage layer 203, which limits the positional relationship of the vertical filter screen 302 and enables better drainage of the embankment mechanism 2. The transverse filter screen 303 is fixedly connected between the transverse drainage channel 301 and the vertical filter screen 302. The transverse filter screen 303 can effectively prevent debris from entering the transverse drainage channel 301 and affecting the drainage efficiency of the transverse drainage channel 301.
[0034] In this embodiment, the eco-friendly reservoir embankment vegetation slope protection structure utilizes a base layer 201 to initially stabilize the soil and provide basic support. A drainage layer 203 removes excess water, keeping the surface of the slope protection body 1 dry. A vegetation layer 205 allows for the planting of local drought-tolerant and salt-tolerant plants, meeting diverse needs under different regional and climatic conditions and improving the ecological environment. A wire mesh reinforcement layer 204 provides additional support, helping plant roots stabilize the soil. A covering layer 206 further secures seedlings, preventing rainwater erosion and promoting rapid root growth. A drainage mechanism 3 further enhances drainage and prevents water accumulation, reducing soil erosion. This structure ensures embankment safety while achieving ecological restoration and environmental protection goals, improving the overall performance and sustainability of the system.
[0035] In summary, this device enhances overall protection capabilities, effectively resisting water erosion and significantly strengthening soil consolidation, reducing soil erosion, and achieving the goals of ecological restoration and environmental protection. By planting native plants, it promotes the restoration of biodiversity and improves the aesthetic appeal of the landscape.
[0036] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows: Before construction, remove debris from the surface of the slope protection body 1 to keep it flat. Then, lay the base layer 201. Use a mechanical paver to evenly distribute natural gravel 2011 and organic material 2012 on the surface of the slope protection body 1, with a thickness of 50cm, and compact it to a dense state. Then, lay a permeable cloth 202 on top of the base layer 201, and then lay a drainage layer 203 on top of the permeable cloth 202 to ensure smooth drainage and avoid water accumulation. When laying the drainage layer 203, fine sand 2031 and pebbles 2032 can be laid manually or mechanically, with a thickness of 20cm to ensure smooth drainage. Then, lay a wire mesh reinforcement layer 204 on top of the drainage layer 203 to improve the drainage. After the high-strength drainage layer 203 and the wire mesh reinforcement layer 204 are completed, a vegetation layer 205 is laid on the wire mesh reinforcement layer 204 according to the design density. Plants are planted, and varieties suitable for local climate and soil conditions are selected to ensure the survival rate of the plants. Finally, a covering layer 206 is installed on the surface of the vegetation layer 205 to fix the plants, prevent rainwater erosion, and accelerate the development of plant roots. In addition, the drainage efficiency is further improved by the set horizontal drainage channel 301, and the slope soaking time is reduced. The set vertical filter 302 and horizontal filter 303 can reduce the probability of debris entering the horizontal drainage channel 301 and prevent it from affecting the drainage capacity of the horizontal drainage channel 301.
