Solution Overview

Problem

Existing slope protection devices for hydraulic engineering are time-consuming to mount, labor-intensive, and inconvenient to replace or transfer in emergencies, leading to potential environmental pollution and reduced service life due to exposure and uneven stress.

Innovation Solution

A slope reinforcing and protecting device with a connecting base body, fastening assembly, and protection net, featuring drainage grooves, multi-layer fastening structures, and rotating connecting assemblies to ensure secure soil penetration and net pocket formation, enhancing stability and ease of disassembly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional slope protection bricks are used, then slope protection function is achieved, but installation is time-consuming and labor-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveinstallation efficiencyVSAvoidinstallation time

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The slope protection device is divided into modular components: connecting base bodies with drainage grooves, protection assemblies with fastening mechanisms, and protection nets. These modular units can be pre-assembled and quickly installed on slopes, significantly reducing installation time and labor requirements compared to traditional brick-by-brick laying methods.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If fastening assembly is buried in soil for reinforcement, then slope stability is improved, but the exposed portion is susceptible to fracture from uneven stress

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveslope stabilityVSAvoidfastening assembly durability

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The protection assembly includes fastening assemblies that extend into the soil to provide anchoring and stability. The design anticipates stress concentration at the soil interface and provides structural reinforcement through the connection between the connecting base body and protection assembly, cushioning against fracture from uneven stress before it can cause failure.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

3Object-affected harmful factors

If drainage groove is added to connecting base body, then water accumulation is prevented, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvewater accumulation effectVSAvoidconnecting base body structure

Core Design Contradiction:

Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The connecting base body incorporates drainage grooves at specific locations where water accumulation would be most harmful. This localized addition of drainage functionality to the base body structure provides effective water management without requiring a complete redesign of the entire device, thus minimizing the increase in complexity while addressing the harmful water accumulation effect.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality
