[0025] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of a floating platform on water according to one embodiment of the present application.
[0026] As shown in the figure, the floating platform 100 on water includes: a working platform 110 and a first floating unit 120, a second floating unit 130 and one or more connectors 140. The working platform 110 is located above the water surface, which can be used to provide a working plane and can be used to place related equipment of water photovoltaic (such as: load box, etc.); the first floating unit 120 and the second floating unit 130 are arranged below the working platform, which can provide buoyancy for the working platform; the connector 140 can connect the first floating unit 120 and the working platform 110, and can support the buoyancy of the first floating unit on the working platform. In some embodiments, multiple connectors are arranged at intervals below the workbench.
[0027] In some embodiments, the connector 140 is interconnected with the first float unit 110 to define a float unit space, and the second float unit 130 can be arranged in the float unit space and support the working platform. The first float unit connected to the working platform and the second float arranged in the float unit space are used to support the working platform and provide buoyancy for the working platform, so that the floating platform on the water has a greater bearing capacity and can improve the bearing capacity of the floating platform on the water. Moreover, the first floating platform and the connector are connected to each other to define the space where the second float unit is set, so that the second floating unit can be protected to prevent floating objects on the water from damaging the second floating unit. And by combining the first float unit and the second float unit, even if one group of the float units is damaged, the floating platform on the water still has buoyancy, which will not affect the floating platform on the water, and can effectively improve the stability of the floating platform on the water.
[0028] In some embodiments, the working platform 110 may include a plurality of cross beams 111 and a plurality of longitudinal beams 112. The cross beams 111 and the longitudinal beams 112 are interconnected to form a working plane of the working platform, and the connecting member is connected to the bottom of the working plane. In some embodiments, at least part of the cross beams 111 and / or the longitudinal beams 112 are connected to the connecting member.

In some embodiments, the working platform 110 may also include a connecting beam 113, which may be arranged above the working plane and close to the center of the working platform, and may be used to connect the equipment arranged on the working platform, so that the equipment can be fixed to prevent the water surface fluctuations from affecting the position of the equipment, thereby affecting the stability of the floating platform on the water.
[0029] In some embodiments, the first floating unit 120 may include one or more connecting pipes 121, which may be arranged below the water surface and connected to the connecting piece, and the connecting piece is used to provide buoyancy for the work platform.

[0031] In some embodiments, the connector 140 is connected between the first floating unit and the working platform, and the buoyancy generated by the first floating unit can be applied to the working platform, and the working platform can be supported above the water surface. In some embodiments, the connector 140 connects the first connecting float under the water surface and the working platform above the water surface, so that part of it is located under the water surface and part of it is located on the water surface. The material of the connector 140 can be polyethylene, which can make the floating platform on the water have good corrosion resistance. In some embodiments, the thickness of the connector 140 is at least 15 mm, which is conducive to ensuring the connection strength between the first floating unit and the working platform.

In some embodiments, the connection hole 221 can be opened at least partially to facilitate placing the connection pipe in the connection hole. In some embodiments, the connection end includes a connection hole, which is connected to a connection pipe, and a floating unit space for accommodating a second floating unit can be formed between the two connection pipes by using two connected brackets. In some embodiments, the connection end can include multiple connection holes, which are respectively connected to multiple connection pipes, and a floating unit space is formed between two adjacent connection pipes.
[0037] In some embodiments, the support end 230 includes a support edge 231, which is disposed at the end of the body 210 and can be in contact with and connected to the crossbeam and / or longitudinal beam of the working platform. In some embodiments, the width of the support edge 231 can be greater than the thickness of the body 210, which is beneficial to increase the contact surface between the bracket and the working platform and improve the connection strength between the two.
[0038] The buoyancy of the floating platform can be improved by combining a variety of different floating units, and the buoyancy units of the floating platform can also be redundantly designed to prevent the floating platform from being unable to work normally after the floating units are damaged.
