Abstract

The present invention relates to the field of water surface floating engineering technology, and more particularly to a force transmission structure, including a force transmission member and a limit member, wherein the force transmission member has an outer peripheral surface, and the outer peripheral surface matches the inner peripheral surface of a connection hole on a buoy connection ear, and the force transmission member can be inserted into the connection holes of one or more stacked buoy connection ears, and the limit member is assembled on the force transmission member and fixes the force transmission member on the buoy connection ear.

Through the cooperation between the outer peripheral surface of the force transmission member and the inner peripheral surface of the connection hole of the buoy connection ear, the local bearing capacity at the connection hole can be strengthened, and the external load can be transmitted to the connection hole more evenly, so that the connection hole will not be subjected to a relatively concentrated load, and tearing, creep or plastic deformation of the connection hole can be avoided, thereby ensuring the effectiveness of the connection function.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of water surface floating engineering, and in particular to a force transmission structure. Background Art

[0002] In the field of floating photovoltaic projects and floating docks on the water surface, the structures that provide buoyancy are mostly buoys made of plastic or other composite materials. Corresponding connecting structures are arranged on the buoys. The connecting structures are usually connecting ears, and the connecting ears are provided with connecting holes for assembling buoys to form larger floating islands.

[0003] In order to anchor or install related equipment on the buoy, it is usually necessary to connect the load-bearing structural parts to the buoy. Usually, the buoy made of plastic or composite materials has a relatively weak structure, and the commonly used connecting parts are usually structural parts with harder materials (such as metal parts, hard composite materials, etc.). If the hard material is directly inserted into the connection hole of the buoy, it is easy to cause tearing, creep or plastic deformation of the connection hole or the connection ear, resulting in the failure of the corresponding connection function, which poses a greater risk to the safety of the floating island composed of buoys. Summary of the invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a force transmission structure that can better transmit external loads, so as to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art.

[0013] Preferably, the force transmission member is an axially penetrating tubular member.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has significant improvements:

[0015] The force transmission structure of the present invention connects the external load-bearing connecting component to the force transmission structure by inserting the force transmission member into the connecting hole of one or more stacked buoy connecting ears, and fixing the force transmission member on the buoy connecting ear by a limit member, thereby realizing the connection between the connecting component and the buoy, avoiding direct contact between the connecting component made of hard material and the buoy connecting ear, and the local load-bearing capacity at the connecting hole can be enhanced through the cooperation between the outer circumference of the force transmission member and the inner circumference of the connecting hole of the buoy connecting ear, and the external load can be transmitted to the connecting hole more evenly, so that the connecting hole will not be subjected to a relatively concentrated load, thus avoiding tearing, creep or plastic deformation of the connecting hole, thereby ensuring the effectiveness of the connection function and the safety of the floating island composed of buoys.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0034] Furthermore, in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, “plurality” means two or more.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 8As shown, an embodiment of the force transmission structure of the present invention. The force transmission structure of this embodiment is used as an intermediate transition bearing structure, connecting the buoy connection ear 1 with the bearing connection component 2 to achieve the connection function, and transferring the external load borne by the connection component 2 to the buoy connection ear 1 to achieve the load transfer function, which can meet the needs of anchoring the buoy or floating island and installing related equipment on the buoy.

[0036] See also Figure 1 The force transmission structure of this embodiment includes a force transmission member 3 and a limit member 4. The force transmission member 3 has an outer peripheral surface, and the outer peripheral surface of the force transmission member 3 matches the inner peripheral surface of the connection hole 11 on the buoy connection ear 1. The force transmission member 3 can be inserted into the connection holes 11 of one or more stacked buoy connection ears 1. The limit member 4 is assembled on the force transmission member 3 and fixes the force transmission member 3 on the buoy connection ear 1. The connection component 2 that carries the external load is connected to the force transmission structure, so that the connection component 2 and the buoy are connected, and the direct contact between the connection component 2 made of hard material and the buoy connection ear 1 is avoided. Through the cooperation between the outer peripheral surface of the force transmission member 3 and the inner peripheral surface of the connection hole 11 of the buoy connection ear 1, the local bearing capacity at the connection hole 11 can be strengthened, and the external load can be transmitted to the connection hole 11 more evenly, so that the connection hole 11 will not be subjected to a relatively concentrated load, and the connection hole 11 is avoided from tearing, creeping or plastic deformation, which can ensure the effectiveness of the connection function and the safety of the floating island composed of buoys.

[0037] In the force transmission structure of this embodiment, the force transmission member 3 can be an axially through tubular member or a solid rod-shaped member, and the shape of the outer circumference of the force transmission member 3 should be designed according to the shape of the inner circumference of the connecting hole 11 of the buoy connecting ear 1. The way in which the connecting component 2 is connected to the force transmission structure is not limited and can be selected according to the actual application. The connecting component 2 can be connected to the limit member 4, and the load of the connecting component 2 is transmitted to the force transmission member 3 through the limit member 4, and then transmitted to the buoy connecting ear 1 by the force transmission member 3; or, the connecting component 2 can also be connected to the force transmission member 3, and the load of the connecting component 2 is directly transmitted by the force transmission member 3. For example, when the connecting component 2 is an anchor chain, if the force transmission member 3 is an axially penetrating tubular member, the anchor chain can be connected to the force transmission member 3 by passing the anchor chain through the force transmission member 3 and then tightening it, and the force transmission member 3 can be fixed together with the buoy connecting ear 1; of course, the anchor chain's shackle can also be connected to the limit member 4, and at this time the force transmission member 3 can be an axially penetrating tubular member or a solid rod-shaped member.

[0038] In the force transmission structure of this embodiment, the limiting member 4 can be a pad 41, which is vertically sleeved on the outer peripheral surface of the force transmission member 3, and the pad 41 is closely connected with the buoy connection ear 1. On the one hand, the pad 41 can play a role in limiting and fixing the assembly between the force transmission member 3 and the buoy connection ear 1, and on the other hand, the pad 41 can increase the overall strength of the force transmission structure, thereby increasing the effect of enhancing the local bearing capacity at the connection hole 11 of the buoy connection ear 1.

[0039] The number of pads 41 is not limited, and one or more pads may be provided. All pads 41 and the buoy connecting ears 1 are stacked in sequence along the axial direction of the force transmission member 3, and adjacent pads 41 and the buoy connecting ears 1 are in close contact with each other. The order in which all pads 41 and the buoy connecting ears 1 are stacked on each other is not limited. For a single buoy connecting ear 1, the single buoy connecting ear 1 can be clamped between two pads 41; for multiple buoy connecting ears 1, all the buoy connecting ears 1 can be clamped in the middle by two pads 41, or each buoy connecting ear 1 can be clamped between two pads 41, or one or more pads 41 can be clamped between each two adjacent buoy connecting ears 1.

[0040] The connection form between the pads 41 and the force transmission member 3 is not limited, as long as all the pads 41 and the buoy connection ears 1 can be stacked in sequence as needed along the axial direction of the force transmission member 3 during assembly. For example, all the pads 41 can be detachably connected to the force transmission member 3, that is, all the pads 41 can be detachably mounted on the force transmission member 3, which has the advantage of convenient and flexible assembly. For another example, among all the pads 41, one pad 41 can be fixedly connected to the force transmission member 3, and the other pads 41 can be detachably mounted on the force transmission member 3, and one pad 41 can be fixedly connected to the force transmission member 3, which is conducive to further enhancing the overall strength of the force transmission structure. The setting position of the pad 41 fixedly connected to the force transmission member 3 on the outer peripheral surface of the force transmission member 3 is not limited. It can be set in the middle of the force transmission member 3. During installation, the buoy connecting ear 1 and other pads 41 can be mounted on the force transmission member 3 from both ends of the force transmission member 3; it can also be set at one end of the force transmission member 3. During installation, the buoy connecting ear 1 and other pads 41 can be mounted on the force transmission member 3 from the other end of the force transmission member 3. The way in which the pad 41 is detachably mounted on the force transmission member 3 is not limited. Preferably, a through hole 410 can be opened on the pad 41, and the inner diameter of the through hole 410 is not less than the outer diameter of the force transmission member 3, so that the pad 41 can be mounted on the force transmission member 3 or removed from the force transmission member 3 through the through hole 410, thereby realizing the detachable assembly of the pad 41 and the force transmission member 3. The manner in which the pad 41 is fixedly connected to the force transmission member 3 is not limited. Preferably, a through hole 410 can be opened on the pad 41, and the pad 41 is mounted on the force transmission member 3 through the through hole 410 and welded to the outer peripheral surface of the force transmission member 3, which has the advantage of good connection strength.

[0041] To facilitate the connection between the connecting component 2 and the stopper 4, at least one of all the pads 41 may be provided with a bearing hole 413, and the bearing hole 413 may be used to connect with the connecting component 2, for example, to the shackle of the anchor chain, so as to achieve the connection between the connecting component 2 and the force transmission structure stopper 4. One or more bearing holes 413 may be provided on a single pad 41 to meet the connection requirements of different connecting components 2.

[0042] The shape and size of the pad 41 are not limited. In one embodiment, the pad 41 can be a small pad 411 (see Figure 2 ), the small pad 411 is a circular plate, and a through hole 410 is opened at the center position for the force transmission member 3 to cooperate with the connection. The small pad 411 and the force transmission member 3 can be fixedly connected or detachably connected. In another embodiment, the pad 41 can be a large pad 412 (see Figure 3 ), the large pad 412 is provided with two through holes, namely a through hole 410 and a bearing hole 413. The through hole 410 is used for matching and connecting with the force transmission member 3, and the bearing hole 413 is used for connecting with the connecting member 2. The large pad 412 and the force transmission member 3 can be connected in a fixed manner or in a detachable manner. Of course, the large pad 412 can also be provided with a plurality of bearing holes 413.

[0043] In the force transmission structure of this embodiment, the limiting member 4 may also be a limiting rod 42. Two limiting rods 42 are provided, and the two limiting rods 42 are respectively provided at the two ends of the force transmission member 3 and extend along the radial direction of the force transmission member 3, that is, the two limiting rods 42 are perpendicular to the outer peripheral surface of the force transmission member 3, and all the buoy connection ears 1 are clamped and fixed between the two limiting rods 42. Through the common limiting effect of the two limiting rods 42, the force transmission member 3 and the buoy connection ear 1 can be fixed together.

[0044] In the force transmission structure of this embodiment, the limiting member 4 may also include a pad 41 and a limiting rod 42. Two limiting rods 42 may be provided, and the two limiting rods 42 are respectively provided at the two ends of the force transmission member 3 and extend along the radial direction of the force transmission member 3, that is, the two limiting rods 42 are perpendicular to the outer peripheral surface of the force transmission member 3, and all the buoy connection ears 1 and the pad 41 are clamped and fixed between the two limiting rods 42. Through the common limiting action of the two limiting rods 42, the force transmission member 3, the pad 41 and the buoy connection ear 1 can be fixed together. There may also be only one limit rod 42, which is provided at one end of the force transmission member 3 and extends radially along the force transmission member 3, that is, the limit rod 42 is perpendicular to the outer peripheral surface of the force transmission member 3. At this time, a pad 41 may be fixedly provided at the other end of the force transmission member 3, and all the buoy connecting ears 1 and other pads 41 are clamped and fixed between the limit rods 42 and the pads 41 at both ends of the force transmission member 3. Through the common limiting action of the limit rods 42 and the pads 41 at both ends of the force transmission member 3, the force transmission member 3, other pads 41 and the buoy connecting ears 1 are fixed together.

[0045] The assembly form of the limit rod 42 on the force transmission member 3 is not limited. Preferably, the limit rod 42 can be a bolt. The force transmission member 3 can be provided with a bolt hole that penetrates the force transmission member 3 in the radial direction of the force transmission member 3. The bolt can pass through the bolt hole of the force transmission member 3 and be fixedly connected with the nut. Through the cooperation of the bolt and the nut, the detachable assembly of the limit member 4 and the force transmission member 3 can be achieved. During installation, after all the buoy connecting ears 1 and the pad 41 are sequentially mounted on the force transmission member 3 as required, the limit rod 42 can be assembled to the force transmission member 3 to fix the force transmission member 3, the pad 41 and the buoy connecting ear 1 together, thereby completing the assembly of the force transmission structure with one or more buoy connecting ears 1.
