Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coastal engineering technology, specifically to a permeable hexagonal ecological slope protection block and ecological slope protection. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most coastal areas across the country are undergoing coastal erosion, and rising sea levels will be a long-term challenge. At the same time, with increasing awareness of coastal ecological protection, the requirements for revetment blocks are no longer limited to simple protective functions; their ecological and aesthetic requirements are also becoming increasingly stringent.

[0003] Traditional coastal revetment blocks have limitations to varying degrees, including insufficient ecological benefits, limited permeability, poor overall stability, and poor anti-sliding stability. For example, masonry revetments lack permeability, easily causing water to stagnate on the slope and increasing the risk of soil erosion; precast concrete block revetments lack permeability design, easily leading to water accumulation on the slope and potentially hindering the drainage of slope water, which is detrimental to slope stability; and riprap revetments, with their tight stacking of stones, may hinder water infiltration, resulting in poor overall stability, and their protective effect is highly dependent on the selection of stones and the uniformity of placement, making them difficult to control. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the first objective of this utility model is to provide a permeable hexagonal ecological slope protection block, which solves the problems of insufficient ecological effect, limited water permeability, poor overall stability, and poor anti-sliding stability of traditional slope protection blocks.

[0005] Firstly, this utility model provides a permeable hexagonal ecological slope protection block, including a main body, which is a hollow prism structure formed by six side walls. The bottom of each of the six side walls of the main body is provided with a tooth-like structure, and the outer edges of the bottom of two of the side walls are provided with toe-like structures. Two other side walls have second positioning grooves at their bottoms. The toe-like structures and the second positioning grooves are positioned at the same location on their respective corresponding side walls, so that the toe-like structures and second positioning grooves between adjacent blocks can interlock. Several permeable holes are provided on each side wall. Screw mounting holes are provided at the same location on each side wall.

[0006] In one embodiment, the tooth-like structure is formed by a plurality of teeth spaced apart; on the sidewall with the toe-like structure, the outer surface of one of the teeth is in close contact with the toe-like structure; on the sidewall with the second positioning groove, the tooth that originally corresponded to the position of the toe-like structure is replaced by the second positioning groove.

[0007] In one embodiment, the two opposing teeth at the bottom of two adjacent sidewalls that are closest to each other, together with the bottom surface of the sidewalls, form a first positioning groove.

[0008] In one embodiment, the width of the first positioning groove is greater than twice the thickness of the sidewall.

[0009] In one embodiment, the toe-shaped structure is trapezoidal, with the highest point of its upper surface flush with the lower edge of the lowest permeable hole in the body, and the whole structure extends downward at an angle.

[0010] In one embodiment, each of the toothed structures of the sidewalls, the outer surface of each sidewall, the top surface of each sidewall, and the upper surface of the toe-shaped structure all have uneven structural surfaces.

[0011] In one embodiment, the two toe-like structures are arranged with a sidewall spaced apart.

[0012] Secondly, the second objective of this utility model is to provide an ecological slope protection, comprising multiple permeable hexagonal ecological slope protection blocks as described above. The ecological slope protection is a multi-layer structure, with each layer consisting of multiple blocks. The sidewalls of two adjacent blocks overlap, and the screw mounting holes on the two overlapping sidewalls are connected by the same screw and nut structure.

[0013] In one embodiment, the hollow central portion of each of the blocks is filled with gravel.

[0014] In one embodiment, in two adjacent blocks, a toe-shaped structure on one block engages with a second positioning groove on the other block; the ecological slope protection layers are arranged in a stacked manner, and the first positioning groove of the upper block engages with the overlapping sidewalls of the two adjacent lower blocks to achieve positioning connection between the upper and lower layers.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the permeable hexagonal ecological slope protection block and ecological slope protection provided by this utility model are as follows:

[0016] This invention has good permeability and overall stability, as well as good anti-slip and anti-overturning properties. It can adapt to coastal environments with strong wave action, effectively protect against coastal erosion, and also has good ecological benefits, which is conducive to protecting coastal biodiversity.

[0017] The block of this utility model adopts a hexagonal honeycomb structure design. The tight interlocking between the blocks significantly improves the overall stability of the slope protection. The internal crushed stone filling structure not only enhances the water permeability but also increases the structural self-weight, effectively improving the anti-slip ability. The optimized toe-shaped structure design ensures the horizontal stability of the block after installation and has good anti-overturning performance.

[0018] The present invention provides concave and convex structures on the tooth-like structures of each sidewall, the outer surface of each sidewall, the top surface of each sidewall, and the upper surface of the toe-like structures, forming a multi-layered biological habitat. The exposed toe-like structures serve as biological channels to facilitate the migration of small coastal organisms within the block, while the concave and convex structures on the top can accumulate water to create a micro-habitat for intertidal organisms. The rough surface is conducive to the attachment of organisms and can be used as a fixed reef. Attached Figure Description

[0026] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the preferred embodiments of this utility model are described below in conjunction with specific examples. However, it should be understood that the accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the present utility model. For better illustration of this embodiment, some components in the drawings may be omitted, enlarged, or reduced, and do not represent the actual product dimensions. It is understandable that some well-known structures and their descriptions may be omitted in the drawings for those skilled in the art. The positional relationships described in the drawings are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the present utility model.

[0027] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but this should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a permeable hexagonal ecological slope protection block includes a main body 1, which is a hollow prism structure formed by six side walls 15. The bottom of each of the six side walls 15 of the main body 1 is provided with a toothed structure, and the outer edges of the bottom of two of the side walls 15 are provided with toe-shaped structures 3. The two toe-shaped structures 3 are arranged with a gap of one side wall 15 between them. Two other side walls 15 have second positioning grooves 24 at their bottoms. The toe-shaped structures 3 and the second positioning grooves 24 are positioned at the same location on their respective corresponding side walls 15, so that the toe-shaped structures 3 and the second positioning grooves 24 between adjacent blocks can interlock. Each side wall 15 has several permeable holes 13. Each side wall 15 has screw mounting holes 12 at the same location.

[0029] In this embodiment, the water-permeable holes 13 are circular, and each of the six side walls 15 of the main body 1 is provided with eight water-permeable holes 13 and one screw mounting hole 12. The screw mounting hole 12 is located on the central axis of the side wall 15, and the water-permeable holes 13 are distributed in a ring around the screw mounting hole 12 for water permeability.

[0030] The tooth-like structure is formed by multiple teeth 2 arranged at intervals. Each tooth 2 is distributed in a shape with a pointed bottom and an upward tilt on the inner side, and the outer side of the tooth 2 is coplanar with the outer side of the body 1. On the side wall 15 with the toe-like structure 3, the outer surface of one of the teeth 2 is in close contact with the toe-like structure 3. On the side wall 15 with the second positioning groove 24, the tooth 2 that originally corresponded to the position of the toe-like structure 3 is changed to the second positioning groove 24.

[0031] In this embodiment, the tooth-like structure is located at the bottom of the sidewall 15, and there are a total of 6 sets of tooth-like structures; wherein:

[0032] Each of the two sets of tooth-like structures consists of five teeth 2, which are respectively located at the bottom of the two opposite sidewalls 15;

[0033] The other two sets of tooth-like structures each consist of 5 teeth 2, which are respectively located on the bottom surface of the sidewalls 15 on the left and right sides of one of the tooth-like structures described above. Unlike the tooth-like structures described above, the outer surface of the middle tooth 2 is closely attached to the toe-like structure 3.

[0034] The last two sets of tooth-like structures are located at the bottom of the remaining two sidewalls 15. Each set consists of four teeth 2, and the lower edge of the sidewall 15 has a recessed second positioning groove 24 at the middle position. The second positioning groove 24 can match the toe-like structure 3.

[0035] The toothed structure can be inserted into the soil or gravel layer below the main body 1 to enhance the grip of the block structure and improve its anti-slip stability.

[0036] The two opposing teeth 2 closest to each other at the bottom of two adjacent sidewalls 15 and the bottom surface of the sidewalls 15 together form the first positioning groove 11.

[0037] The width of the first positioning groove 11 is greater than twice the thickness of the side wall 15, so as to facilitate positioning during assembly.

[0038] The toe-shaped structure 3 is configured as a trapezoidal body, with the highest point of its upper surface connected to the lower edge of the water-permeable hole 13 located at the bottom of the body 1. The upper surface is arranged inclined downwards, and its bottom is at the same height as the bottom tip of the tooth 2.

[0039] The toe-shaped structure 3 is trapezoidal, with the highest point of its upper surface level with the lower edge of the lowest permeable hole 13 of the body 1. It extends downwards as a whole, and its bottom is at the same height as the tip of the tooth 2.

[0040] Each of the toothed structures of the sidewall 15, the outer surface of each sidewall 15, and the upper surface of the toe structure 3 have an uneven structural surface.

[0041] like Figures 4 to 5 As shown, this utility model also provides an ecological slope protection system, comprising multiple perforated hexagonal ecological slope protection blocks as described above. The ecological slope protection system has a multi-layered structure, with each layer composed of multiple blocks. The sidewalls 15 of adjacent blocks overlap, and the screw mounting holes 12 on the overlapping sidewalls 15 are connected by the same screw and nut structure 14. After the blocks are accurately positioned and placed, screws are passed through the screw mounting holes 12 of adjacent blocks and then locked with nuts to enhance the overall stability of the blocks.

[0042] In two adjacent blocks, the toe-shaped structure 3 on one block is engaged with the second positioning groove 24 on the other block; the ecological slope protection layers are arranged in a stacked manner, and the first positioning groove 11 of the upper block is engaged with the overlapping sidewall 15 of the two adjacent blocks in the lower layer to realize the positioning connection between the upper and lower layers.

[0043] The hollow center of each of the blocks is filled with gravel. After the gravel is filled inside the block, the toe-shaped structure 3 of the block is not only limited by the adjacent blocks, but also bears the weight of the gravel above, which can enhance the overturning stability of the block.

[0044] The permeable hexagonal ecological revetment blocks are filled with crushed stone, and the outer surface features an uneven structure, increasing the ecological benefits of this invention. After the blocks are installed, the exposed toe-shaped structures, due to their uneven surface, can serve as steps for small coastal organisms to enter the crushed stone space inside the blocks, facilitating communication between different habitats, promoting marine life activity, and expanding their living space. The uneven structure at the top of the blocks can accumulate water, creating microhabitats for some small coastal organisms. Meanwhile, the roughened outer surface of the blocks due to the uneven structure not only facilitates climbing on the blocks but also serves as a holdfast for some coastal organisms.

[0045] Based on the description and drawings of this utility model, those skilled in the art can easily manufacture or use the permeable hexagonal ecological slope protection block of this utility model, and can produce the positive effects described in this utility model.
