Floating shielding device

Abstract

A floating shelter device suitable for placement on a body of water includes a covering unit and a buoyancy unit. The covering unit has a lower surface adjacent to the water body and an upper surface opposite to the lower surface. The buoyancy unit is arranged in a circumferential manner on the lower surface of the covering unit to define a buoyancy space. The buoyancy unit has at least one pontoon portion with an internal pontoon space. The buoyancy unit is designed with a pontoon space to allow the whole to float more stably on the surface of the water body and to prevent it from capsizing.

Claims

1. A floating shelter device suitable for placement on a body of water, comprising: a covering unit having a lower surface adjacent to the body of water and an upper surface opposite to the lower surface; and a buoyancy unit disposed in a circumferential manner on the lower surface of the covering unit to define a buoyancy space, the buoyancy unit having at least one float portion having a float space formed therein, wherein water vapor evaporated by heating the body of water will adhere to the lower surface of the covering unit via the buoyancy space, and when the water vapor condenses into water, it will also flow back to the body of water via the buoyancy space.

2. The floating shielding device as described in claim 1, wherein, The covering unit is a polygon and has at least one adjacent edge.

3. The floating shielding device as described in claim 2, wherein, The covering unit is hexagonal and the buoyancy unit has six float sections, each float section having an outer shell and a float space formed inside the outer shell.

4. The floating shielding device as claimed in claim 1, wherein, The surface above the covering unit extends diagonally from a relatively high central area to a relatively low peripheral area.

5. The floating shielding device as described in claim 1 or 2, wherein, At least one ventilation channel shall be defined between each adjacent pontoon section.

6. A floating shelter device suitable for placement on a body of water, comprising: a plurality of covering units, each covering unit having a lower surface adjacent to the body of water and an upper surface opposite to the lower surface, each covering unit having at least one tether hole penetrating the upper and lower surfaces for at least one tether to be threaded through; and a plurality of buoyancy units correspondingly disposed on the lower surface of the covering units to define a buoyancy space, each buoyancy unit having at least one float portion having a float space formed therein, wherein water vapor evaporated by heating the body of water will adhere to the lower surface of the covering unit via the buoyancy space, and when the water vapor condenses into water, it will also flow back to the body of water via the buoyancy space.

7. The floating shielding device as claimed in claim 6, wherein, These covering units are polygons, and each covering unit has at least one adjacent edge.

8. The floating shielding device as claimed in claim 7, wherein, The covering units are hexagonal and each buoyancy unit has six float sections, each float section having an outer shell and a float space formed inside the outer shell.

9. The floating shielding device as claimed in claim 7, wherein, The upper surface of each covering unit extends diagonally from a relatively high central area to a relatively low peripheral area.

10. The floating shielding device as claimed in claim 6 or 7, wherein, At least one ventilation channel shall be defined between each adjacent pontoon section.
