Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model is a combined irrigation and water storage retaining wall for ecological restoration, belonging to the field of ecological restoration technology. Background Technology
[0002] In ecological restoration projects, especially in areas with poor site conditions such as slopes, wind-blown sand areas, or tailings ponds, it is often necessary to construct enclosures or slope protection structures to prevent soil erosion and create basic conditions for plant growth. Well-known techniques often employ methods such as masonry retaining walls, concrete gabion baskets, or the stacking of eco-bags.
[0003] However, traditional retaining walls mainly serve a mechanical holding function and do not have the capacity to store or supply water. The water required for plant growth depends entirely on natural rainfall or additional artificial irrigation. In arid and water-scarce areas, the survival rate is low, and they cannot effectively collect and store slope runoff and rainwater, resulting in the loss of precious water resources and even causing slope erosion. There is an urgent need for a combined irrigation and water storage retaining wall for ecological restoration to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a combined irrigation and water storage retaining wall for ecological restoration, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background technology. This utility model adopts a modular water storage and collection structure, which can realize the filtration and collection of rainwater.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a combined irrigation and water storage retaining wall for ecological restoration, comprising a water storage retaining wall body, wherein an outer slope is integrally cast on the outside of the water storage retaining wall body, and inner guide slopes are integrally cast on all four sides of the upper end of the water storage retaining wall body. Multiple inner guide slopes have mounting blocks fixed to their inner walls, and plastic filter screens are horizontally placed between the upper ends of the multiple mounting blocks. A rectangular groove and multiple guide holes are formed at the upper end of the water storage retaining wall body. A rubber frame is fixed inside the water storage enclosure wall. The water storage cavity is provided inside the enclosure wall. A support base is fixed longitudinally at the lower end of the water storage cavity. A flow guide float is movably placed on the upper end of the support base. A float block is integrally provided on the upper end of the flow guide float. Multiple conical plugs are longitudinally installed on the left and right inclined surfaces of the upper end of the flow guide float. Multiple flow guide pipes are installed through the lower left and right ends of the water storage cavity. Each of the multiple flow guide pipes is provided with a capillary water-guiding fiber bundle. Multiple drip holes are opened at the lower end of each of the multiple flow guide pipes.
[0006] Furthermore, positioning protrusions are fixed on the lower left and right sides of the front end of the outer slope, and positioning grooves are provided on the lower left and right sides of the rear end of the outer slope.
[0007] Furthermore, multiple steel bars are embedded on both the left and right sides of the lower end of the outer slope.
[0008] Furthermore, the float slides through the rubber frame, and the multiple conical plugs are respectively located directly below the multiple guide holes.
[0009] Furthermore, each of the multiple guide tubes is covered with a cap, and each of the multiple capillary water-conducting fiber bundles is a nylon rope, cotton rope, or a special capillary tube.
[0010] Furthermore, the plastic filter screen is longitudinally equipped with lifting handles on both the left and right sides of its upper end.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides a combined irrigation and water storage retaining wall for ecological restoration. Because it incorporates an outer slope, an inner guide slope, a water storage retaining wall body, a water storage cavity, plastic filter screens, a rubber frame, guide holes, guide floats, floats, conical plugs, capillary water-guiding fiber bundles, and guide pipes, its structure is reasonable. Utilizing a modular water storage and collection structure, it can filter and collect rainwater. Furthermore, through the principle of capillary irrigation, it simulates the water supply method of natural soil, continuously and slowly transporting water from the water storage cavity to the substrate of the planting soil, keeping the substrate consistently moist enough for plant growth. This process requires no external energy, operates completely autonomously, and is highly practical. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0014] 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.
[0015] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a combined irrigation water storage retaining wall for ecological restoration, comprising a water storage retaining wall 3, an outer slope 1 integrally cast on the outside of the water storage retaining wall 3, inner guide slopes 2 integrally cast on all four sides of the upper end of the water storage retaining wall 3, stacking blocks 6 fixed on the inner walls of multiple inner guide slopes 2, plastic filter mesh 7 horizontally stacked between the upper ends of multiple stacking blocks 6, a rectangular groove and multiple guide holes 10 opened at the upper end of the water storage retaining wall 3, a rubber frame 9 fixed in the rectangular groove, and a water storage cavity 4 inside the water storage retaining wall 3. 4. A support base 11 is fixed longitudinally at the lower end. A flow guide float 12 is movably placed on the upper end of the support base 11. A float block 13 is integrally set on the upper end of the flow guide float 12. Multiple conical plugs 14 are longitudinally installed on the left and right inclined surfaces of the upper end of the flow guide float 12. Multiple flow guide pipes 16 are installed through the lower left and right ends of the water storage cavity 4. Capillary water-conducting fiber bundles 15 are set in the multiple flow guide pipes 16. Multiple drip holes 18 are opened at the lower end of the multiple flow guide pipes 16. This design solves the problem that the traditional retaining wall mainly plays a mechanical holding role and does not have the ability to store or supply water.
[0016] As the first embodiment of this utility model: positioning protrusions 19 are fixed on the lower left and right sides of the front end of the outer slope 1, and positioning grooves are opened on the lower left and right sides of the rear end of the outer slope 1. Multiple steel bars 5 are embedded on the right side of the lower left side of the outer slope 1. By adding multiple steel bars 5 and driving them into the external ground, the stability of the outer slope 1 in the external ecological environment can be improved. Moreover, the positioning protrusions 19 and the positioning grooves facilitate the modular splicing of the outer slope 1 with other water storage retaining walls of the same specifications.
[0017] The float 13 slides through the rubber frame 9, and multiple conical plugs 14 are positioned directly below multiple guide holes 10. After the added water storage cavity 4 is filled with water, it will use the density principle to force the guide float 12 and float 13 to float upward (the guide float 12 and float 13 are both made of strong and tough high molecular weight polyethylene with low density), thereby causing the multiple conical plugs 14 to block the multiple guide holes 10. The outer sides of multiple guide tubes 16 are all plugged with baffles 17, and multiple capillary water-conducting fiber bundles 15 are all made of nylon rope, cotton rope, or special capillary tubes. Through the multiple capillary water-conducting fiber bundles 15, which are all made of nylon rope, cotton rope, or special capillary tubes, it can continuously and slowly transport water from the water storage cavity 4 to the substrate in the planting cavity, so that the substrate always maintains the moisture required for plant growth. The plastic filter screen 7 is equipped with a vertically mounted lifting handle 8 on both the left and right sides of its upper end. The added lifting handle 8 makes it easy to remove the plastic filter screen 7, which can filter rainwater entering the water storage enclosure wall 3.
[0018] As a second embodiment of this utility model: In actual construction, the water-retaining retaining wall 3 is driven into the ground by multiple steel bars 5 at the lower end of its outer slope 1, enhancing overall stability. The positioning protrusion 19 set at the front end of the outer slope 1 cooperates with the corresponding positioning groove at the rear end, which can realize the rapid modular splicing of multiple retaining walls, suitable for the laying needs of slopes of different lengths or curved slopes. In use, rainwater is filtered by the plastic filter screen 7 and enters the water-retaining inner cavity 4 through the guide hole 10. The guide float 12 in the water-retaining inner cavity 4 floats up with the rise of water level, driving the conical plug 14 to block the guide hole 10 and prevent excessive rainwater from entering. Water in the water storage cavity 4 is continuously transported upward through capillary water-conducting fiber bundles 15 (such as nylon ropes or cotton ropes), and slowly released into the surrounding soil through the drip holes 18 at the lower end of the diversion pipe 16, realizing automatic and continuous capillary irrigation. When the water level in the water storage cavity 4 gradually decreases, the diversion float 12 (made of high molecular weight polyethylene with a density of 0.92 g / cm³) falls onto the support base 11 due to gravity, the float 13 slides down along the rubber frame 9 (as shown in Figure 3), and each conical plug 14 disengages from the diversion hole 10, allowing rainwater between multiple inner diversion slopes 2 to continuously flow into the water storage cavity 4.
[0019] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects.
