Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ecological restoration technology, and in particular to an ecological protection structure for rock slopes. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous advancement of infrastructure construction, a large number of rock slopes have been formed. These exposed slopes not only damage the natural landscape but also pose safety hazards such as surface weathering and rockfall. Currently, such slopes are often protected using rigid support structures such as masonry rubble masonry and shotcrete. Although these methods perform well in terms of mechanical stability, they also have significant shortcomings: firstly, the structure itself hinders the natural growth of vegetation, weakening the ecological restoration function of the slope; secondly, the color of the concrete surface is inconsistent with the surrounding environment, creating visual pollution; and thirdly, the heavy weight of the support structure increases the load on the slope.
[0003] To address these issues, ecological slope protection technologies have been gradually adopted, such as hydroseeding and planting membrane installation. However, existing ecological slope protection technologies still face numerous challenges in steep, smooth rock slopes. For instance, rock slopes have poor water retention capacity, and the hydroseeded planting soil and seeds are very fragile before the seedlings grow to cover the slope, making them highly susceptible to sun exposure and resulting in low survival rates.

[0026] The following is combined with Figures 1-3 This invention describes an ecological protection structure for rock slopes.
[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the ecological protection structure for rock slopes includes multiple hanging baskets 2. The rock slope 1 has multiple rows of third grooves along its height direction, with each row having multiple third grooves. Each hanging basket 2 is horizontally embedded in a third groove, and each hanging basket 2 is inclined relative to the horizontal plane, that is, the opening of each hanging basket 2 is inclined upwards. Each hanging basket 2 includes a basket body 20, which is a box-like structure with a cavity, formed by an upper side plate, a lower side plate, a bottom plate, a left side plate, and a right side plate. In this embodiment, the upper side plate has a first groove 21, which communicates with the cavity of the basket body 20. The first groove 21 is used to collect rainwater, and the cavity contains planting substrate. Rainwater can enter the cavity through the first groove 21 to provide moisture to the planting substrate.
[0028] In this embodiment, the first groove is inclined upward relative to the horizontal plane so that its opening faces upward, making it easy to collect rainwater.
[0029] Optionally, in this embodiment, the plate between the cavity and the first groove 21 can be provided with multiple micro-holes, through which water can seep into the cavity; alternatively, a water pipe can also be provided in the through hole, with the two ends of the water pipe located in the first groove 21 and the cavity respectively, so as to guide water into the cavity.
[0030] Optionally, in this embodiment, the planting substrate includes a first planting substrate 101 and a second planting substrate 102, wherein the first planting substrate 101 is an upward-climbing vine planting substrate and the second planting substrate 102 is a downward-climbing vine planting substrate. The upward-climbing vine planting substrate climbs upward along the rock slope 1, and the downward-climbing vine planting substrate climbs downward along the rock slope 1. The climbing vine planting substrate can cover the rock slope 1 in a short time, quickly forming a three-dimensional and dense vegetation cover, with significant greening effect and good landscape.
[0031] The ecological protection structure for rock slopes provided in this embodiment of the invention uses multiple hanging baskets embedded in the rock slope. Each hanging basket has a first groove to collect rainwater, which then seeps into the cavity to provide moisture to the planting substrate. This gives the ecological protection structure water retention capacity and creates a continuous and stable "soil-substrate" bearing layer. The planting substrate and three-dimensional water supply system within the hanging baskets provide a complete growth space for climbing and herbaceous plants, overcoming the fundamental problems of soil and water scarcity on rock slopes. Simultaneously, embedding the hanging baskets into the rock slope effectively ensures the rapid and directional growth of climbing plants, avoiding the problems of uneven seed distribution and soil erosion in traditional hydroseeding methods.
[0032] In an embodiment of this utility model, the distance between two adjacent hanging baskets 2 in each row is 2m-3m. Optionally, in this embodiment, the distance between two adjacent hanging baskets 2 is 2.5m.
[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, in an embodiment of this utility model, each hanging basket 2 further includes: a partition 23 and a plurality of water guide strips 24. The partition 23 is disposed within the cavity, dividing the cavity into a first cavity 201 and a second cavity 202. The second cavity 202 is located below the first cavity 201. The first cavity 201 is used to hold the planting substrate, and the second cavity 202 communicates with the first groove 21. The two ends of each water guide strip 24 are respectively disposed within the first cavity 201 and the second cavity 202.
[0034] Specifically, in one embodiment of this invention, the first groove 21 extends along the height of the basket 20 until it communicates with the second cavity 202. In this embodiment, the first groove 21 serves as both a rainwater collection port and a rainwater flow channel. Rainwater is stored in the second cavity 202 and guided into the first cavity 201 by the water guide strip 24 to provide moisture to the planting substrate. Optionally, in another embodiment of this invention, the first groove 21 is not directly connected to the second cavity 202. A plurality of first flow channels 22 are provided in the upper side plate, arranged parallel to each other along the length of the basket 20. The two ends of each first flow channel 22 are connected to both the first groove 21 and the second cavity 202. In this embodiment, the first groove 21 is used to collect rainwater, the first flow channel 22 is a rainwater flow channel, and the rainwater is stored in the second cavity 202.
[0035] The ecological protection structure for rock slopes provided in this embodiment of the utility model can effectively collect and store rainwater by setting a first groove and a second cavity. By setting water-guiding strips, the stored water can be automatically and continuously transported to the plant roots, realizing "on-demand" water supply, which greatly improves the survival rate and drought resistance of plants under drought conditions and significantly reduces artificial maintenance.
[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, in an embodiment of this utility model, the lower side plate of the basket 20 is provided with a second groove 26, which communicates with the second cavity 202. The second groove 26 is used to overflow water after the second cavity 202 is filled with water.
[0037] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first groove 21, the second cavity 202, and the second groove 26 are connected in sequence. After the second cavity 202 is filled with water, if water continues to enter the first groove 21, the rainwater stored in the second cavity 202 can be discharged through the second groove 26 to drain excess water and prevent the plant roots from rotting.
[0038] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the lower side plate is further provided with a second flow channel 25, which is connected to the second cavity 202. The number of second grooves 26 can be multiple, and each second groove 26 is connected to the second flow channel 25.
[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first groove 21 forms a first angle with the horizontal plane, and the second groove 26 forms a second angle with the horizontal plane, the second angle being smaller than the first angle. In this embodiment, the opening of the first groove 21 is inclined upward to allow rainwater to enter the first groove 21, and the second groove 26 is slightly inclined with the horizontal plane to allow water to overflow when the second cavity 202 is full.
[0040] like Figure 3 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, each hanging basket 2 further includes a modified hydrophilic polyurethane soil-stabilizing layer 29, which is disposed on the surface of the planting substrate. The modified hydrophilic polyurethane soil-stabilizing layer 29 can form a film that prevents soil erosion and also prevents water from evaporating too quickly. As the concentration of modified hydrophilic polyurethane increases, the permeability gradually decreases. In this embodiment, the concentration of modified hydrophilic polyurethane is 4.5%~5.5%, and the spraying rate is 0.8L / m³. 2 ~1.2L / m 2 .
[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, in an embodiment of this utility model, the ecological protection structure for rock slopes further includes multiple protective nets 3, each protective net 3 being positioned between two adjacent hanging baskets 2. In this embodiment, the protective net 3 can optionally be made of various materials, such as wire mesh, plant fiber mesh, etc. In this embodiment, the protective net 3 is a coconut fiber mesh, with the mesh openings being equilateral triangles, and the side length of the equilateral triangles being 8cm-10cm.
[0042] like Figure 3 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, each hanging basket 2 further includes a fixing plate 27 and a fixing rod 28. The fixing plate 27 is disposed on the upper side plate of the basket body 20, and the fixing rod 28 is disposed on the lower side plate of the basket body 20. In this embodiment, the fixing plate 27 presses one side of the protective net 3 onto the rock slope 1, and the fixing rod 28 fixes the other side of the protective net 3. Optionally, the length direction of the fixing rod 28 is consistent with the length direction of the basket body 20, and the fixing rod 28 is provided with multiple fixing posts along its length direction, with one end of the protective net 3 fixed by the fixing posts.
[0043] like Figure 1As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the ecological protection structure for rock slopes also includes a geopolymer mortar finishing layer 4, which is applied to the surface of the rock slope 1. The geopolymer mortar can quickly form a robust, tightly bonded thin shell on the smooth, fractured rock slope 1 through a finishing process. This shell immediately seals the rock surface, effectively preventing further weathering and fragmentation, achieving an immediate protective function similar to shotcrete, and providing a stable foundation for subsequent ecological restoration. The surface formed after the geopolymer mortar solidifies has a certain degree of roughness and porosity, allowing the roots of climbing plant substrates to penetrate the geopolymer mortar finishing layer 4. Furthermore, the climbing plant substrates are protected by a protective net 3, preventing wind damage.
[0044] In the embodiments of this utility model, the thickness of the geopolymer mortar plastering layer 4 is 1cm-1.5cm. Optionally, in this embodiment, the thickness of the geopolymer mortar plastering layer 4 is 1.2cm.
[0045] The ecological protection structure for rock slopes provided in this embodiment combines an autonomous circulating water supply system with a planting substrate, enabling plants to maintain their own growth and greatly reducing reliance on artificial irrigation and maintenance, thus realizing a shift from "artificial maintenance" to "natural growth." The plant roots penetrate the protective netting and extend into the fine cracks of the rock mass, forming a resilient overall protective layer together with the hanging basket, which can effectively prevent slope weathering and soil erosion in the long term.
[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
