Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a structure for green plants to climb on bridge piers. Background Technology

[0002] Bridge greening design, while fulfilling its basic function of traffic organization, also alleviates fatigue for drivers and pedestrians, improves their mood, and serves to protect the environment, beautify the cityscape, provide shade in summer, and enhance streetscapes. To achieve bridge greening, Chinese utility model patent specification CN 211861230 U discloses a greening module for elevated bridge piers. This module uses a mesh frame installed around the piers to help climbing plants grow upwards along the frame, thus achieving vertical greening of the piers. However, this existing technology uses expansion bolts driven into the piers for fixing the mesh frame. This not only damages the surface structure of the piers, affecting their safety, but also requires specific drilling methods and depths, increasing the difficulty of construction. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to propose a green climbing structure for bridge piers, including a mesh panel and a mesh panel support; the mesh panel support includes multiple uprights spaced around the bridge pier; the upper ends of two adjacent uprights are detachably fitted with an upper edge, and all the upper edges together form an upper hoop around the bridge pier; the lower ends of two adjacent uprights are detachably fitted with a lower edge, and all the lower edges together form a lower hoop around the bridge pier; each upright has a sliding groove on both sides, running from the upper end of the upright to the lower end; one or more mesh panels are installed between two adjacent uprights, and the mesh panels slide into the space between the two adjacent uprights through two opposing sliding grooves.

[0004] This utility model uses upper and lower hoops to confine the mesh panel support around the bridge pier, and uses the uprights as supports to form a whole. It does not require the use of expansion bolts for fixing, and will not damage the bridge pier. Furthermore, the mesh panel can be installed by sliding between two adjacent uprights, which is convenient and quick. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, further illustrates the proposed solution.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 10 The diagram shows a green climbing structure for bridge piers, including a mesh panel 10 and a mesh panel support 20;

[0022] The mesh support 20 includes multiple uprights 30 spaced around the pier 100;

[0023] The upper ends 301 of two adjacent uprights are detachably equipped with an upper edge 40, and all the upper edges 40 are gathered to form an upper hoop 400 that fits around the pier 100.

[0024] The lower ends 302 of two adjacent uprights are detachably equipped with a lower edge 50. All the lower edges 50 are gathered to form a lower hoop 500 that fits around the pier 100. The lower hoop 500 sits on the pier base 200.

[0025] Each upright 30 is provided with a groove 303 on both sides, which runs from the upper end 301 of the upright to the lower end 302 of the upright.

[0026] One or more mesh panels 10 are installed between two adjacent uprights 30. The mesh panels 10 slide into the space between the two adjacent uprights 30 via two sliding grooves 303 facing each other.

[0027] This technical solution uses upper and lower hoops to confine the mesh panel support around the bridge pier, and uses the uprights as supports to form a whole. It does not require the use of expansion bolts for fixing, will not damage the bridge pier, and the mesh panel can be slid between two adjacent uprights to achieve installation, which is convenient and quick.

[0028] Each upright has an upper slot 304 at its upper end 301. Each upper edge 40 has a first upper insert 401 at both ends for inserting into the upper slot 304. The first upper insert is inserted into the upper slot to limit the distance between two adjacent uprights. The upper edge 40 also has a second upper insert 402 that is inserted into two sliding grooves 303 facing each other on two adjacent uprights. The second upper insert is inserted into the sliding groove of the upright to prevent the mesh panel from sliding upward out of the sliding groove.

[0029] Each upright has a lower slot 305 at its lower end 302. Each lower edge 50 has a first lower insert 501 at both ends for inserting into the lower slot 305. The first lower insert is inserted into the lower slot to limit the distance between two adjacent uprights. The lower edge 50 also has a second lower insert 502 that is inserted into two sliding grooves 303 facing each other on two adjacent uprights. The second lower insert is inserted into the sliding groove of the upright to prevent the mesh panel from sliding down out of the sliding groove.

[0030] Each of the two ends of the second upper insertion block 402 on the upper edge is provided with a first upper mating hole 403;

[0031] Each upright has two second upper docking holes 306 at its upper end 301. Each second upper docking hole 306 is used to align with and communicate with a first upper docking hole 403. Each pair of aligned and communicating first upper docking holes 403 and second upper docking holes 306 is inserted with an upper pin 60. The upper pin can be used to lock the upright to the upper edge to prevent the upper edge from separating from the upright. When disassembly is required, the upper pin can be pulled out.

[0032] Each of the two ends of the second lower insertion block 502 at the lower edge is provided with a first lower mating hole 503;

[0033] Each upright has two second lower docking holes 307 at its lower end 302. Each second lower docking hole 307 is aligned with and connected to a first lower docking hole 503. A lower pin 70 is inserted through each pair of aligned and connected first lower docking holes 503 and second lower docking holes 307. The lower pin can be used to lock the upright to the lower edge to prevent the lower edge from separating from the upright. When disassembly is required, the lower pin can be pulled out.

[0034] In this embodiment, after the upper and lower pins are installed, silicone sealant can be applied to fix them in place, thereby improving the firmness and stability of the mesh panel bracket. When disassembly is required, the silicone sealant can be removed, and the upper and lower pins can then be pulled out.

[0035] This utility model product is installed behind the bridge pier, and the creeping and twining vines (such as Virginia creeper) planted will climb up along the mesh board, thereby achieving beautification and adding greening effect while effectively preventing wind.

[0036] In this embodiment, the top edge and the bottom edge are the same.

[0037] The installation process of this utility model can be seen as follows:

[0038] First, arrange four lower edges around the pier base. Then, install four uprights, inserting each upright at the end of one of the two lower edges and inserting a lower pin. Next, push three mesh panels between adjacent uprights from top to bottom. Finally, install the upper edge.
