Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of garden retaining structure technology, and in particular to a garden retaining arch structure. Background Technology

[0002] In landscaping, retaining structures are a common and important element, primarily used to prevent soil erosion and maintain terrain stability.

[0003] Existing landscape retaining structures often suffer from uneven stress distribution, poor stability, and monotonous landscape effects, making it difficult to achieve a perfect balance between engineering safety and landscape aesthetics. Therefore, an improvement is proposed for a garden retaining arch structure. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, this application provides a retaining arch stone structure for gardens, which overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art and aims to solve the problems that existing landscape retaining structures often have uneven stress, poor stability and monotonous landscape effect, making it difficult to achieve a perfect unity of engineering safety and landscape effect.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a retaining arch stone structure for a garden, comprising landscape stones, an arched mold fixedly installed between two landscape stones, a casting groove opened inside the arched mold, fixing seats symmetrically installed on the inner walls of both sides of the casting groove, a positioning block fixedly connected to the top of the fixing seat, a reinforcing rib provided inside the positioning block, a concrete layer poured inside the casting groove, the reinforcing rib located inside the concrete layer, a drainage pipe embedded in the concrete layer on the side near the landscape stone, and a permeable planting area for planting plants laid inside the casting groove above the concrete layer.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, a retaining structure that is both practical and aesthetically pleasing is formed by combining landscape stones with arched molds. The reinforcing bars are fixedly installed inside the arched molds through fixed seats and positioning blocks to form a support frame, ensuring that the arched molds can support the loose soil without deformation. Furthermore, the addition of reinforcing bars can significantly improve the tensile strength of the concrete layer, effectively disperse soil pressure, and avoid the problem of local stress concentration in traditional retaining walls. The embedded drainage pipes combined with the permeable planting area can quickly drain seepage water and prevent water accumulation. In short, this retaining structure can achieve a perfect unity of engineering safety and landscape effect, and is worthy of promotion.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the inner walls of the two sides of the arched mold are symmetrically connected with connecting blocks, and fixed anchors are slidably inserted into the interior of the connecting blocks, with the ends of the fixed anchors extending into the interior of the landscape stone.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, a rigid anchoring node is formed by embedding the end of the anchor bolt into the interior of the landscape stone, and the arched mold is fixedly installed between the two landscape stones to ensure structural stability.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the positioning block has an installation hole inside, and an installation bolt is slidably inserted into the installation hole. The end of the installation bolt passes through the positioning block and is inserted into the inside of the arch mold. The positioning block is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the casting groove by the installation bolt.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning block is fixedly installed inside the arch mold by inserting mounting bolts inside the mounting hole.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the length of the reinforcing rib is the same as the width of the casting groove, and the two ends of the reinforcing rib abut against the inner walls of both sides of the casting groove.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the reinforcing bars run through the entire width of the pouring trench, forming a transverse tensile skeleton, which effectively resists the bending deformation of the arch mold caused by the lateral pressure of the soil, reduces the risk of wall cracking, and the abutment design at both ends makes the reinforcing bars form a rigid constraint with the side wall of the anti-arch mold, suppressing shrinkage cracks during the hardening process of the concrete layer.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the number of reinforcing ribs is three, the three reinforcing ribs are arranged in parallel inside the casting groove, and the top of the three reinforcing ribs is fixedly welded with the same connecting rib.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the three reinforcing ribs are fixedly connected together to form a mesh support structure, which further improves the support stability of the structure.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a water-absorbing sponge is provided between the concrete layer and the permeable planting area, and the bottom of the water-absorbing sponge is in contact with the top of the drainage pipe.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the water-absorbing sponges absorb the rainwater that seeps into the permeable planting area, delaying the peak runoff, and feeding it back to the plant roots during drought. The water-absorbing sponges can also prevent soil erosion.

[0017] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the permeable planting area includes a gravel layer laid on top of an absorbent sponge, a fine sand layer laid on top of the gravel layer, and a planting layer laid on top of the fine sand layer.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the gravel layer, as the bottom large-pore skeleton structure, can quickly diffuse the water flow that seeps from the water-absorbing sponge laterally, avoiding local water accumulation and soaking the plant roots. The fine sand layer, as a transition layer, buffers the infiltration pressure of the planting soil and reduces soil erosion.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] In this invention, a retaining structure that is both practical and aesthetically pleasing is formed by combining landscape stones with an arched mold. Reinforcing ribs are fixedly installed inside the arched mold using fixing seats and positioning blocks to form a support frame, ensuring that the arched mold can support the loose soil without deformation. Furthermore, the reinforcing ribs significantly improve the tensile strength of the concrete layer, effectively dispersing soil pressure and avoiding the localized stress concentration problem of traditional retaining walls. The embedded drainage pipes combined with the permeable planting area can quickly drain seepage and prevent water accumulation. Therefore, this retaining structure achieves a perfect balance between engineering safety and aesthetic appeal, making it worthy of promotion.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0029] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a retaining arch structure for a garden, including landscape stones 1. An arched mold 2 is fixedly installed between two landscape stones 1. A pouring groove 15 is opened inside the arched mold 2. Fixing seats 9 are symmetrically installed on the inner walls of both sides of the pouring groove 15. A positioning block 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing seat 9. A reinforcing rib 11 is provided inside the positioning block 10. A concrete layer 3 is poured inside the pouring groove 15. The reinforcing rib 11 is located inside the concrete layer 3. A drainage pipe 8 is embedded in the concrete layer 3 on the side near the landscape stone 1. A permeable seedbed for planting is laid inside the pouring groove 15 above the concrete layer 3. Planting area 5, when in use, combines landscape stone 1 with arched mold 2 to form a retaining structure that is both practical and aesthetically pleasing. The reinforcing rib 11 is fixedly installed inside the arched mold 2 by fixing seat 9 and positioning block 10 to form a support frame, ensuring that the arched mold 2 can support the loose soil without deformation. Moreover, by setting the reinforcing rib 11, the tensile strength of concrete layer 3 can be significantly improved, effectively dispersing soil pressure and avoiding the problem of local stress concentration in traditional retaining walls. The embedded drainage pipe 8 combined with permeable planting area 5 can quickly drain seepage water and prevent water accumulation. In other words, this retaining structure can achieve a perfect unity of engineering safety and landscape effect, and is worth promoting.

[0030] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and 2 As shown, connecting blocks 6 are symmetrically connected to the inner walls of both sides of the arched mold 2. Fixed anchor bolts 7 are slidably inserted into the inside of the connecting blocks 6. The ends of the fixed anchor bolts 7 extend into the interior of the landscape stone 1. In use, the fixed anchor bolts 7 are embedded into the interior of the landscape stone 1 to form a rigid anchoring node, thereby fixing the arched mold 2 between the two landscape stones 1 and ensuring structural stability.

[0031] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 and 4 As shown, the positioning block 10 has an installation hole 12 inside, and an installation bolt 13 is slidably inserted into the installation hole 12. The end of the installation bolt 13 passes through the positioning block 10 and is inserted into the inside of the arch mold 2. The positioning block 10 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the casting trough 15 by the installation bolt 13. In use, the positioning block 10 is fixedly installed inside the arch mold 2 by inserting the installation bolt 13 into the installation hole 12.

[0032] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and 3As shown, the length of the reinforcing rib 11 is the same as the width of the pouring trough 15, and the two ends of the reinforcing rib 11 abut against the inner walls of both sides of the pouring trough 15 respectively. In use, the reinforcing rib 11 runs through the entire width of the pouring trough 15 to form a transverse tensile skeleton, effectively resisting the bending deformation of the arch mold 2 caused by the lateral pressure of the soil, reducing the risk of wall cracking. The abutting design at both ends makes the reinforcing rib 11 and the side wall of the anti-arch mold 2 form a rigid constraint, suppressing shrinkage cracks in the concrete layer 3 during the hardening process.

[0033] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and 3 As shown, there are three reinforcing ribs 11. The three reinforcing ribs 11 are arranged in parallel inside the casting groove 15, and the top of the three reinforcing ribs 11 is fixedly welded with the same connecting rib 14. In use, the three reinforcing ribs 11 are fixedly connected together by the connecting rib 14 to form a mesh support structure, which further improves the support stability of the structure.

[0034] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, a water-absorbing sponge 4 is installed between the concrete layer 3 and the permeable planting area 5. The bottom of the water-absorbing sponge 4 is attached to the top of the drainage pipe 8. When in use, the water-absorbing sponge 4 absorbs the rainwater that seeps into the permeable planting area 5, delaying the runoff peak. In dry conditions, it also provides water to the plant roots. The water-absorbing sponge 4 can also prevent soil erosion.

[0035] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the permeable planting area 5 includes a gravel layer 51 laid on top of the absorbent sponge 4, a fine sand layer 52 laid on top of the gravel layer 51, and a planting layer 53 laid on top of the fine sand layer 52. In use, the gravel layer 51 serves as the bottom layer of large-pore skeleton structure, which can quickly diffuse the water seeping from the absorbent sponge 4 laterally, avoiding local water accumulation and soaking the plant roots. The fine sand layer 52 serves as a transition layer, buffering the infiltration pressure of the soil in the planting layer 53 and reducing soil erosion.

[0036] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When using the retaining arch stone structure of the garden according to this application, the arch mold 2 is fixedly installed between two landscape stones 1 by fixing anchor bolts 7, the positioning block 10 is fixedly installed inside the arch mold 2 by mounting bolts 13, the reinforcing rib 11 is installed by the positioning block 10, and the connecting rib 14 is welded after fixing to connect the three reinforcing ribs 11 into a whole. Then, a drainage pipe 8 is embedded and installed inside the arch mold 2, and the pipe opening is temporarily sealed with a sealing bag to prevent concrete from entering. After the above work is completed, concrete can be poured into the pouring trough 15 to harden and form a concrete layer 3. Then, the sealing bag of the drainage pipe 8 is lifted, and a water-absorbing sponge 4 is laid on the top of the concrete layer 3. Finally, a gravel layer 51, a fine sand layer 52 and a planting layer 53 are laid in sequence to form a permeable planting area 5.
