Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ecological water conservancy engineering technology, specifically a modular ecological revetment structure for river management. Background Technology

[0002] Bank protection is an engineering facility or measure used to protect the edges of water bodies such as riverbanks and coastlines from erosion by natural factors such as water flow, waves, and tides, as well as damage caused by human activities. Currently, most existing bank protection systems tend to focus on stabilization and flood control, resulting in severe hardening of the banks. This disrupts the ecological connection between the riverbank and the riverbed, hindering plant growth and damaging the ecosystem. Furthermore, most of these railings are fixed to the riverbank, preventing tourists from getting a close look at the river scenery during the dry season when water levels drop. Utility Model Content

[0020] Please see Figures 1-6A modular ecological revetment structure for river management includes a first revetment layer 3, a first ecological trough 4 snapped onto the upper surface of the first revetment layer 3, a front retaining wall 2 fixedly installed on the front end of the first revetment layer 3, side retaining walls 1 fixedly installed on both sides of the first revetment layer 3, a second revetment layer 5 fixedly installed on the upper surface of the first revetment layer 3, a second ecological trough 6 snapped onto the upper surface of the second revetment layer 5, a third revetment layer 7 fixedly installed on the upper surface of the second revetment layer 5, a third ecological trough 8 snapped onto the upper surface of the third revetment layer 7, a riverbank 10 provided on the upper surface of the third revetment layer 7, a guardrail mechanism 9 snapped onto the upper surface of the riverbank 10, a soil layer 12 provided on the lower surface of the riverbank 10, and multiple snap-fit ​​holes 11 opened on the upper surfaces of the first revetment layer 3, the second revetment layer 5, and the third revetment layer 7.

[0021] In the above structure, the riverbank 10 is protected by setting up side retaining walls 1, front retaining walls 2, first revetment layer 3, second revetment layer 5, and third revetment layer 7, reducing soil erosion caused by river water, thereby stabilizing the riverbank 10 and increasing the flood control effect of the revetment structure. The first ecological trough 4, second ecological trough 6, and third ecological trough 8 are used to plant different aquatic plants, increasing the biodiversity of the riverbank 10 and protecting the ecosystem of the riverbank 10. A guardrail mechanism 9 is set at the upper end of the riverbank 10 to protect tourists and staff and prevent them from falling into the river.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment, the first ecological tank 4 includes a first outer shell 401. A first handle 402 is fixedly installed on both sides of the upper surface of the first outer shell 401. Two first locking blocks 403 are fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the first outer shell 401. Two first threaded rods 404 are rotatably sleeved on the upper surface of the first outer shell 401. A first limiting block 405 is threadedly sleeved on the outer side of the two first threaded rods 404. A first knob 406 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of each of the two first threaded rods 404. A first filter plate 407 is slidably sleeved inside the first outer shell 401. Multiple first plant planting troughs 408 are formed on the upper surface of the first filter plate 407. The second ecological tank 6 includes a second outer shell 601. A second handle 602 is fixedly installed on both sides of the upper surface of the second outer shell 601. Two second locking blocks 603 are fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the second outer shell 601. Two second threaded rods 604 are rotatably sleeved on the upper surface of the second outer shell 601. Two threaded rods 604 are threadedly fitted with limit blocks 605 on their outer sides. A knob 606 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of each threaded rod 604. A filter plate 607 is fixedly and slidably fitted inside the outer casing 601. Multiple plant planting troughs 608 are provided on the upper surface of the filter plate 607. The third ecological trough 8 includes a third casing 801. Handles 802 are fixedly installed on both sides of the upper surface of the third casing 801. 1. Two No. 3 snap-fit ​​blocks 803 are fixedly installed on both the front and rear sides. Two No. 3 threaded rods 804 are rotatably sleeved on the upper end face of the No. 3 outer shell 801. No. 3 limit blocks 805 are threadedly sleeved on the outer side of the two No. 3 threaded rods 804. No. 3 knobs 806 are fixedly installed on the upper end face of the two No. 3 threaded rods 804. No. 3 filter plate 807 is fixedly and slidably sleeved inside the No. 3 outer shell 801. Multiple No. 3 plant planting troughs 808 are opened on the upper end face of the No. 3 filter plate 807.

[0023] In the above structure, the bottoms of the first ecological trough 4, the second ecological trough 6, and the third ecological trough 8 are in contact with the soil layer 12. The first filter plate 407, the second filter plate 607, and the third filter plate 807 can filter the soil, preventing soil erosion caused by river water scouring the surface of the soil layer 12. Different aquatic plants can be planted on the first plant planting trough 408, the second plant planting trough 608, and the third plant planting trough 808. At the same time, by rotating the first knob 406, the second knob 606, and the third knob 806, the positions of the first limit block 405, the second limit block 605, and the third limit block 805 can be adjusted so that the first filter plate 407, the second filter plate 607, and the third filter plate 807 can be tightly attached to the soil layer 12, thereby fixing the aquatic plants on the upper part of the soil layer 12 and preventing the newly planted aquatic plants from falling off due to river water scouring, which would affect the survival rate.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, the guardrail mechanism 9 includes a guardrail body 901. Two sliding grooves 905 are provided on the rear end face of the guardrail body 901. A fixing rod 902 is slidably sleeved on the bottom surface of each of the two sliding grooves 905. A limit rod 903 is slidably sleeved on the upper end face of the guardrail body 901. A warning sign 904 is fixedly installed on the upper end face of the limit rod 903.

[0025] In the above structure, the guardrail body 901 is used to protect tourists and prevent them from falling into the water. A fixing rod 902 is installed on the bottom surface of the chute 905. Sliding the fixing rod 902 downwards can lock the guardrail mechanism 9 onto the riverbank 10. At the same time, a handle is provided at the upper end of the fixing rod 902. After the guardrail mechanism 9 is fixed, the handle can be rotated to lock into the groove at the bottom of the guardrail body 901 for limiting and preventing the guardrail mechanism 9 from falling off. When the river water level changes, the staff can remove the handle from the groove and then slide the fixing rod 902 upwards to remove the guardrail mechanism 9. Then, depending on the actual situation, the fixing rod 902 can be locked onto the first revetment layer 3, the second revetment layer 5, and the third revetment layer 7, so that tourists can always observe the beautiful scenery of the river up close and increase the ornamental value of the ecological revetment structure.

[0026] The working principle involves planting different types of aquatic plants inside the first ecological trough 4, the second ecological trough 6, and the third ecological trough 8 to increase the biodiversity of the riverbank 10 and protect its ecosystem. Limiting blocks are used to press the filter plate against the soil layer 12 to protect the aquatic plants and prevent them from falling out of the planting trough due to water erosion, thus affecting their survival rate. At the same time, a guardrail mechanism 9 is used to protect tourists from falling into the water. Staff can freely change the position of the guardrail mechanism 9 according to the river water volume, allowing tourists to always observe the river scenery up close and increasing the aesthetic appeal of the ecological revetment structure.

[0027] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
