Description

Retaining wall block

The present invention relates to a retaining wall block.

In general, earthquakes on slopes artificially formed on slopes of hills or hills, dwellings, parks, roads, railways, etc. are collapsed by natural disasters such as heavy rains or floods, earth pressure, or flooding of rivers or coasts. Retaining walls are erected to prevent them from occurring.

The retaining wall is constructed by laminating a retaining wall block made of concrete on an inclined surface, thereby preventing the retaining wall from collapsing while supporting the earth pressure of the slope.

There is a high risk of traffic accidents at night or under fog, snow, or rainy weather, as drivers cannot easily identify conditions such as curved roads.

In particular, when a traffic accident occurs on a curved road, an accident in which the vehicle falls or collides with the retaining wall block occurs. Along with a traffic accident, the retaining wall block is broken. Secondary damages occurred due to the breakage of the wall blocks, and maintenance costs were incurred to reinforce the damaged retaining walls.

The present invention provides a retaining wall block that safely guides a vehicle at night to reduce crash accidents.

The molten wall block according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a block body, a coupling part formed on the block body, at least one side of which is open, and a reflective unit detachably mounted to the coupling part.

A mounting groove and a mounting protrusion may be formed at a portion where the reflective unit and the coupling portion contact each other, and the mounting protrusion may be coupled to the mounting groove to fix the reflective unit to the coupling portion.

The reflective unit may include a reflective body mounted on the coupling portion and a surface of the reflective body and positioned on a front surface of the block body.

The reflective body may include any one selected from the group consisting of aluminum, silicon, synthetic resin, and combinations thereof.

The front surface of the reflective member may be inclined in one direction from the other side.

The reflective member may be a delineator.

The reflective member may be a luminous sheet.

The reflective member may be a light emitting diode.

According to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, since the reflective unit is mounted on the retaining wall block, the sloped surface on which the retaining wall block is stacked may be recognized by the reflected light, thereby preventing a safety accident.

According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, since the reflective unit is embedded in the retaining wall block so that the reflective unit does not protrude in the driveway direction, there is no fear of contact with the vehicle, pedestrian, etc., thereby preventing damage to the reflective unit due to the vehicle.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, since the reflection unit is mounted on the retaining wall block, the illumination of the vehicle traveling on the curved road is reflected by the reflection unit so that the driver may recognize the bending area, thereby reducing the incidence of traffic accidents in the bending area. .

Like parts are designated by like reference numerals throughout the specification.

Then, the retaining wall block according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

1 and 4, the retaining wall block 100 according to the present exemplary embodiment includes a block body 110, a coupling part 120, and a reflection unit 130.

The block body 110 is stacked stepwise alternately along the slope 1 to prevent the slope 1 from collapsing due to natural disasters such as flooding or earth pressure. At this time, the rear surface of the block body 110 may be buried on the slope 1, the front surface is exposed to the outside. The block body 110 may be made of concrete. The present invention does not limit the block body 110 to concrete.

The inside of the block body 110 has a vegetation space 111 is formed by penetrating up and down so that plants can grow. The block body 110 may be hardened by the upper and lower vegetation spaces 111. In addition, the cost of manufacturing the block body 110 may be minimized by the vegetation space 111.

The shape of the block body 110 in plan view is a fan shape. Accordingly, the front surface of the block body 110 is formed in a curved shape. The front surface is formed in a curved shape so that the impact is dispersed when a vehicle collides with the front surface. Impact damage can minimize the damage to the block body (110). The present invention does not limit the shape of the block body 110 to a fan shape.

On the front of the block body 110, the valley portion 112 is formed in the vertical direction. The exposed front surface may look beautiful by the valleys 112. In addition, the valley 112 may guide the water flowing in front of the block body 110 to the vegetation space 111 of the block body 110 located below. Therefore, as the water is smoothly supplied to the roots of the plants growing in the vegetation space 111, the growth of the plants is promoted, thereby promoting the growth of the roots, thereby reinforcing the binding force of the retaining wall and the soil. However, the valley 112 may be omitted.

On the other hand, on the back of the block body 110, the escape preventing protrusion 113 that is caught inside the inclined surface 1 protrudes in the left and right directions. The departure prevention protrusion 113 prevents the block body 110 from being separated from the slope 1 by earth pressure or the like.

Coupling portion 120 is formed in the block body 110, at least one side is open. The coupling part 120 is located between the vegetation space 111 and the valley part 112. The bottom surface of the coupling part 120 is semicircle-shaped, and the left / right part is formed perpendicularly. However, the bottom surface may be formed in a planar shape. At least one mounting groove 121 is formed along the circumferential direction of the semicircle at the bottom surface of the coupling part 120. However, a protrusion may be formed instead of the mounting groove 121.

The reflective unit 130 is positioned to be embedded in the coupling part 120 and includes a reflective body 131 and a reflective member 133.

The reflective body 131 is mounted on the coupling part 120 and is empty inside. But it can be filled. The bottom of the coupling portion 120 is the same as the bottom surface of the coupling portion 120. The reflective body 131 has a mounting protrusion 132 inserted into the mounting groove 121. However, grooves may be formed. When the mounting protrusion 132 is inserted into the mounting groove 121, the reflective body 131 is firmly fixed without moving in the coupling part 120. Accordingly, the reflective body 131 does not leave the block body 110. The present invention does not limit the coupling structure of the reflective body 131 and the coupling part 120 to the mounting groove 121 and the mounting protrusion 132.

The reflective body 131 may be made of any one selected from the group consisting of aluminum, silicon, synthetic resin, and combinations thereof. The present invention is not limited to this.

On the other hand, the front surface of the reflective body 131 is inclined in one direction from the other side.

The reflective member 133 induces a driver's eyes by reflecting the headlights of the vehicle, and may be any one selected from a reflective sheet, a delineator, and a light emitting diode (LED). The reflection member 133 is mounted to be inclined from one side to the other side by the front surface of the inclined reflective body 131. When the vehicle is in operation, the light is reflected on the inclined front surface and the light is reflected in the direction in which the vehicle proceeds. The reflected light is recognized by the driver and the driver can be aware of the hazards. However, the front surface of the reflective member 133 may be formed in a curved shape as shown in FIG. 6. In addition, the front surface of the reflective body 131 is flat, the reflective member 133 may be inclined from one side to the other side. The present invention is not limited.

When the reflective member 133 is formed of a reflective sheet, the reflective member 133 may be attached to one surface of the reflective body 131, and may be detachably mounted on the front surface of the block body 110 when the reflective member 133 is formed of a delegate. However, it may not be detached when mounted. The reflection member 133 is positioned to protrude toward the front of the block body 110. However, it may be located on the same line as the front surface of the block body 110. The cross-sectional shape which looked at the reflective member 133 from the side surface is formed in hemispherical shape. But it can also be square.

On the other hand, if the reflective member 133 is a light emitting diode (LED), the driver's gaze may be induced by shining stronger and clearer light at night. In addition, the reflective body 131 may be equipped with a solar cell module (not shown) electrically connected to the light emitting diode. The reflective member 133 of the present invention is not limited. Therefore, the reflective member 133 of the present invention may have various structures.

As such, the reflection unit 130 may be embedded in the block body 110 so that the reflection unit 130 may be protected from external impact, thereby minimizing damage to the reflection unit 130. In addition, the driver can easily recognize the bent area by the reflection unit 130 embedded in the block body 110, the lighting of the vehicle traveling on the curved road can lower the traffic accident occurrence rate of the bent area.

Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and various modifications and improvements of those skilled in the art using the basic concepts of the present invention defined in the following claims are also provided. It belongs to the scope of rights.
