Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of road drainage technology, and in particular relates to an embedded grate module and an integrated flow-guiding side stone structure for sponge cities. Background Technology
[0002] In traditional urban construction, road curbs are typically designed as closed systems, allowing rainwater to enter the underground drainage network only through storm drain grates. This design presents the following problems: 1. Insufficient control of rainwater runoff: During heavy rainfall, rainwater cannot infiltrate or remain quickly, leading to water accumulation on roads or even urban flooding.
[0003] 2. Waste of rainwater resources: Rainwater is directly discharged into the pipe network, failing to effectively replenish groundwater or be reused.
[0004] 3. Pollutant diffusion: Initial rainwater carries road pollutants (such as oil and heavy metals) directly into water bodies, exacerbating non-point source pollution.
[0005] To meet the needs of sponge city construction, some improved solutions have emerged in existing technologies, such as: 1. Curb opening drainage: Openings are made on the curb stones to allow rainwater to flow into green belts or bioretention facilities (such as rain gardens).
[0006] 2. Permeable curbstone: It adopts porous concrete or open structure to enhance the rainwater infiltration capacity.
[0007] However, existing sidestone opening technology still has the following drawbacks: 1. Insufficient structural strength: The opening design may affect the compressive and impact resistance of the curbstone, making it susceptible to damage from vehicle crushing.
[0008] 2. Siltation and blockage: The opening is easily blocked by fallen leaves and silt, which reduces drainage efficiency and increases maintenance costs.
[0009] 3. Limited drainage effect: Some designs only have simple openings and lack a scientific drainage structure, making them unable to adapt to different rainfall intensities. Generally, the cross slope and longitudinal slope of roads form a certain angle, resulting in poor drainage effect.
[0010] 4. Poor landscape harmony: The opening design is crude, affecting the aesthetics of urban roads. With the promotion of sponge city construction, curbstone opening technology is developing towards high-performance materials, modularization, and intelligence. This utility model, through structural innovation, overcomes the shortcomings of existing technologies and provides a more efficient and reliable solution for urban stormwater management.

[0016] Furthermore, the flat stone body and the side stone body are installed on the concrete pad layer.
[0017] Furthermore, a sedimentation zone is provided between the horizontal filter screen and the concrete subbase.
[0018] Furthermore, the flat stone body and the side stone body are fixed to the concrete pad layer by cement mortar.
[0019] Furthermore, the top of the vertical grate ring is provided with an imitation stone surface.
[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. High strength and durability: Optimized opening layout and materials ensure the structural stability of the curbstone under vehicle loads.
[0021] 2. High efficiency in preventing blockage: The flat stone diversion channel provides initial sludge settling, and the double-layer filtration of the grate and filter screen (coarse filtration + fine filtration) reduces the pipe network blockage rate by more than 40%.
[0022] 3. Improved drainage efficiency: The design of the diversion channel and diversion hole accelerates rainwater discharge and improves the rainwater runoff effect.
[0023] 4. Combining practicality and aesthetics: It adopts a modular design and can be seamlessly integrated with sponge facilities such as road paving stones, green belts, and permeable paving.
[0024] 5. Modular design: The modular design allows for easy transportation, installation, and partial replacement.
[0025] This invention overcomes the problems of low strength and easy clogging of traditional side stone openings, improves drainage efficiency by more than 30%, and has a high degree of landscape integration, making it suitable for sponge city construction in urban roads and garden areas.
