Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water conservancy engineering, and more specifically, it is a type of bank protection suitable for improving the ecological environment of rivers and increasing residents' access to water. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the advancement of environmental protection initiatives, river remediation projects, practical projects, and special projects to eliminate Class V or worse water quality, some key river systems have undergone remediation and ecological restoration. Through a series of engineering measures such as river channel improvement and dredging, the flood control and drainage capacity of these rivers has been increased, and water conditions and quality have continued to improve. However, the corresponding landscape enhancement effects are still not significant. On the other hand, with social and economic development and the improvement of residents' living standards, conventional and simple river management and restoration can no longer meet residents' needs for a better spiritual and cultural life.

[0003] With the completion of the main river system improvement and ecological construction, the project's construction goals have gradually shifted from simple river management to comprehensive environmental and regional management. It no longer only meets the basic functions of simple soil retention and flood control, but also needs to ensure overall coordination and aesthetics, as well as certain convenience and benefits for the people.

[0004] To meet current landscape and ecological needs, classic hydraulic revetment structures have successively developed into a variety of new revetment structures, such as ecological blocks, box blocks, and ecological gabions. In addition, ductile materials have also been applied to river revetment projects.

[0005] However, given the current situation, existing revetment structures, while prioritizing aesthetics, lack structural safety. Therefore, a revetment structure that balances aesthetics and structural stability is needed, one that can ensure the safety and stability of the river channel while also enhancing the landscape, providing a pleasant waterfront experience, and improving the quality of life for local residents.

[0006] This utility model is a riverbank protection project that optimizes ecological effects, enhances residents' accessibility to water, and ensures the stability of riverbanks. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide better hydrophilic effects and comprehensive environmental improvement, and to solve the problem that although current ecological slope protection has good landscape features, it lacks hydrophilicity and structural stability.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] A type of riverbank protection suitable for improving river ecology and increasing residents' access to water includes: a U-shaped retaining wall, comprising a base slab, a water-facing side wall, and a water-repellent side wall; the U-shaped retaining wall is filled with a layer of muddy soil and equipped with planting netting for planting plants; the water-facing side wall has controllable openings spaced apart to connect the U-shaped retaining wall with the river body; a transparent walkway in the river, comprising a bridge pile, a tempered glass bridge body, and railings on both sides, the tempered glass bridge body being erected on top of the bridge pile and the water-facing side wall; an ecological slope protection, which is formed by compacting cohesive backfill soil to create a downward slope; and a block structure, which is constructed of hollow blocks in a multi-layered stepped structure, with cultivated soil filled inside the block structure and ornamental plants planted.

[0010] Preferably, the controllable hole is located below the normal water level and above the muddy soil layer.

[0011] Preferably, the controllable aperture is provided with a closable door on its outer side.

[0012] Preferably, filter stone filler is laid on top of the clay soil layer.

[0013] Preferably, the planting net is a lightweight porous structure, and the planting net is fixed to the water surface inside the U-shaped retaining wall.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solutions, this utility model combines a U-shaped retaining wall, a transparent river corridor, ecological slope protection, and a block structure to achieve the goals of balancing landscape, safety and stability, and accessibility to the water, thereby improving residents' accessibility to the water and ensuring the stability of the riverbank. Attached Figure Description

[0015] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0016] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0017] See Figure 1 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of this utility model. In this embodiment, a bank protection type suitable for river ecological improvement and increasing residents' accessibility to water includes: a U-shaped retaining wall 1, a transparent river corridor 2, an ecological slope protection 3, and a block structure 4.

[0018] The U-shaped retaining wall 1 includes a base plate 11, a water-facing side wall 12, and a water-repellent side wall 13. The interior of the U-shaped retaining wall 1 is lined with a layer of muddy soil 14, and filter stone filler is placed at the bottom to accelerate humus deposition, promote plant growth, and facilitate fish and shrimp breeding and nesting. The aquatic plant planting net 15 adopts a lightweight, porous structure to facilitate the extension of plant roots. The water-facing side wall 12 of the retaining wall has intermittently designed, controllable, and closable holes for easy management during the flood season, allowing fish and shrimp to enter and for appropriate water level regulation, thus creating a micro-flow environment.

[0019] The Hanoi Transparent Walkway 2 comprises a bridge pier 21, a tempered glass bridge body 22, and railings 23 on both sides. The tempered glass bridge body 22 is supported by the bridge pier 21 and the top of the waterfront sidewall 12. The Hanoi Transparent Walkway is spaced 10-20 meters from the riverbank, allowing visitors to enjoy views of the riverbank greenery on one side and a direct, unobstructed view of the waterfront environment on the other. The tempered glass bridge body 22 serves as the base, made of high-strength, non-slip tempered glass to enhance the experience for residents. Galvanized steel handrails 23 are installed on both sides, with lifebuoys spaced at intervals to prevent falls into the water and facilitate rescue, minimizing safety hazards.

[0020] Ecological slope protection 3 is formed by compacting cohesive backfill soil to create a downward slope. Block structure 4 is a multi-layered, stepped structure made of hollow blocks, filled with topsoil and planted with ornamental plants. The riverbank block structure and ecological bag slope protection primarily serve a secondary water-retaining function. The prefabricated structure offers advantages such as simple construction, novel structure, and low cost. The box-shaped blocks are filled with topsoil, allowing for the mixed planting of various plants with different flowering seasons, ensuring landscape diversity and durability, and creating a pleasant riverside landscape environment.

[0021] In this design, the U-shaped retaining wall 1 serves as the primary water-blocking element. Filter stone filler is placed at the bottom of the U-shaped channel, and the top is covered with clay soil. Controllable openings are arranged on the water-facing sidewall. The Hanoi Transparent Corridor 2 is constructed by connecting the newly built U-shaped retaining wall's water-facing sidewall with newly built reinforced concrete square piles, which form the foundation. The base slab uses a steel frame + high-strength, non-slip tempered glass design, and the bottom base of the railings is connected to the steel frame. The newly built box-shaped blocks and ecological bag slope protection serve a secondary water-blocking function. The box-shaped blocks are prefabricated blocks, stacked in multiples and fixed with threaded steel bars. The soil-facing side of the boxes is isolated with geotextile fabric, and the empty boxes are filled with topsoil for planting flowers. The box-shaped blocks and the newly built U-shaped retaining wall are transitionally connected using cohesive soil backfill + ecological bag slope protection.

[0022] The embodiments described above are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. All equivalent changes and modifications made to this utility model by those skilled in the art should fall within the scope of the appended claims.
