Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a positioning structure for floating buildings, specifically a structure capable of stably positioning floating buildings. Prior Technology

[0002] To improve space utilization, floating structures can be installed on ponds, fishponds, and lakes. These structures can be positioned on the shore under normal circumstances and can be moved to the center of the water as needed.

[0003] In the case of ponds, in order to prevent water accumulation and road space occupation of buildings located on pond roads, boat houses or other floating structures can be built. These floating structures are equipped with cables, and cable spurs are installed along the roadside of the pond, so that the floating structures can be positioned by being looped with or tied to the cable spurs.

[0004] However, the cable cannot determine the distance between the floating structure and the shore, so the water ripples will cause the floating structure to shift and sway significantly. Furthermore, the floating structure may be driven by the water flow and collide with the shore, causing wear and tear and damage to the floating structure. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a stable, positioning structure for floating buildings.

[0006] The present invention includes at least one fixed column, at least one floating structure, and at least one connecting device. The fixed column is fixed to the bank of a body of water and has a protruding section extending above the bank. The protruding section is provided with a first pivot. The floating structure can float on the water and has at least one second pivot on its side. The connecting device includes a telescopic rod and a controller. The telescopic rod has a first side and a second side. The first side has a third pivot and is pivotally connected to the first pivot by a first pivot. The second side has at least one fourth pivot and is pivotally connected to the second pivot by at least one second pivot. The controller is connected to the telescopic rod and can control the telescopic length of the telescopic rod.

[0007] In one embodiment of the present invention, the second side of the telescopic rod has a telescopic section, the telescopic section is connected to a forked section, and the forked section has two fourth pivot portions that are pivotally connected to the second pivot portion.

[0008] In one embodiment of the present invention, a ring is further included, which is sleeved on the protruding section and can be displaced up and down corresponding to the protruding section, and the first pivot part is provided on the ring.

[0009] In one embodiment of the present invention, a pin is further included, and a plurality of positioning holes are provided at different height positions of the protruding section. The collar is provided with a through hole, and the pin can be inserted through the through hole and the positioning hole to position the collar.

[0010] One embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of the above-water structures connected together, with buffer connecting rods provided between adjacent above-water structures.

[0011] In one embodiment of the present invention, the floating structure is provided with a fifth pivot part, and the buffer connecting rod has a cylinder, a rod, a piston, and a hydraulic oil. The rod, the piston, and the hydraulic oil are disposed in the cylinder. The rod protrudes from both ends of the cylinder and has a sixth pivot part. The two sixth pivot parts are respectively pivotally connected to the fifth pivot part of the floating structure. The piston is provided with a guide hole.

[0012] When the floating structure of the present invention is set on the shore, the distance between the floating structure and the shore can be set by the telescopic rod of the connecting device, which can prevent the water flow from impacting the floating structure and causing large fluctuations, and can ensure that the floating structure will not collide with the shore and cause damage.

[0013] When the floating structure of the present invention needs to be detached from the shore to the center of the water for operation, the first pivot or the second pivot can be removed to detach the floating structure from the fixed column, which can be easily disassembled and detached. Furthermore, the present invention can connect multiple floating structures to improve the stability of floating on the water, and the buffer connecting rod can provide a buffer to prevent the floating structure from drifting rapidly when the water flow is fluctuating, thereby improving the floating stability.

[0021] In the following embodiments, similar functional elements of the present invention are indicated by the same reference numerals. Please refer to Figures 1 to 3. The positioning structure of the floating structure of the present invention includes a fixed column 1, a floating structure 2, and a connecting device 3. The fixed column 1 is fixed on the bank 41 of the water body 4 and has a protruding section 11 protruding above the bank 41. The protruding section 11 is provided with a collar 12 that can be fitted onto the protruding section 11 and can be moved up and down to correspond to the upper and lower displacement of the protruding section 11. The collar 12 is provided with a first pivot part 121, and a plurality of positioning holes 111 are provided at different height positions of the protruding section 11. The collar 12 is provided with at least one through hole 122, and a pin 123 can be inserted into the through hole 122. The positioning hole 111 positions the collar 12 to correspond to the position of the protruding section 11.

[0022] The floating structure 2 can float on the water body 4. It has a floating body 21 below and a main building 22 above the floating body 21. In this embodiment, a solar power generation device 23 is installed on the top of the main building 22 to generate electricity. Two second pivot parts 24 are provided on the side of the floating structure 2.

[0023] The connecting device 3 includes a telescopic rod 31 actuated by pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric pressure, and a controller 32. The telescopic rod 31 has a first side 311 and a second side 312. The first side 311 has a third pivot portion 313, which is pivotally connected to the first pivot portion 311 by a first pivot 314. The second side 312 has at least one fourth pivot portion 315, which is pivotally connected to the second pivot portion 24 by at least one second pivot 316.

[0024] In this embodiment, the second side 312 has a telescopic section 317, which is connected to a forked section 318. The forked section 318 has two fourth pivot parts 315 that are pivotally connected to the second pivot part 24. The forked section 318 can improve the stability of the connection between the floating structure 2 and the telescopic rod 31. The controller 32 is connected to the telescopic rod 31 and can control the telescopic length of the telescopic rod 31.

[0025] When the floating structure 2 of the present invention is located on the shore 41, the distance between the floating structure 2 and the shore 41 can be set by the telescopic rod 31 of the connecting device 3. This can prevent the water flow from impacting the floating structure 2 and causing large fluctuations, and can ensure that the floating structure 2 will not collide with the shore 41 and cause damage. As shown in Figures 2 and 3, when the water level rises or falls, the first and second sides 311 and 312 of the telescopic rod 31 can pivot to the fixed column 1 and the floating structure 2 respectively. When the water level rises, the telescopic rod 31 can be shortened, and when the water level falls, the telescopic rod 31 can be extended, so that the distance between the floating structure 2 and the shore 41 does not change significantly, and it can float stably on the water body 4 with better stability.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 4. The present invention does not require a pin, and the collar 12 can correspond to the up and down displacement of the protruding section 11. Therefore, when the water level fluctuates frequently or the lifting height is large, the collar 12 can correspond to the up and down displacement, and can slow down the change in the extension length of the telescopic rod 31 to improve the stability of operation.

[0027] When the floating structure 2 of the present invention needs to be moved from the shore 41 to the center of the water body 4 for operation, the first pivot 314 or the second pivot 316 can be removed to detach the floating structure 2 from the fixed column 1, which can be easily disassembled and detached; and when the floating structure 2 is moved to the shore 41 after the operation is completed, the first pivot 314 or the second pivot 316 can be reassembled to position it, which is simple to assemble.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 5-7. This invention can construct a plurality of floating structures 2, with buffer connecting rods 5 connecting adjacent floating structures 2. Each floating structure 2 is provided with a fifth pivot portion 25. The buffer connecting rod 5 comprises a cylinder 51, a rod 52, a piston 53, and a hydraulic oil 54. The rod 52, piston 53, and hydraulic oil 54 are located within the cylinder 51. The rod 52 protrudes from both ends of the cylinder 51 and has a sixth pivot portion 521, which is pivotally connected to the fifth pivot portion 25 of each floating structure 2. The piston 53 is provided with a guide hole 531. The adjacent floating structures 2 can be connected by the buffer connecting rod 5 to improve their stability on the water body 4. When the water flow impacts the floating structure 2, the rod 52 can provide buffering through the displacement resistance of the piston 53 in the cylinder 51, which can prevent the floating structure 2 from generating rapid displacement impact and improve its floating stability.

[0029] Therefore, as described above, the present invention is a novel positioning structure for water-based structures, and it has better positioning stability. The foregoing embodiments are illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. All equivalent modifications made in accordance with the spirit of the present invention should also fall within the scope of the present invention.
