If the building on the platform is too heavy, it will be impossible to repair it, and the entire platform and building will be directly scrapped. In addition, the hoisting and repair process is extremely long and difficult, so it is necessary to solve the problem of controllable lifting and lowering of the pontoon platform.

[0003] The existing lifting and lowering of pontoon platforms requires electricity and manpower to operate, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. For example, the application No. 200580017237.X discloses the use of pontoons as auxiliary equipment to ballast an offshore platform. During use, the lifting and lowering of the pontoon platform requires a large amount of electricity and manpower, which is inconvenient when the lifting platform carries a large amount of heavy objects.

[0029] The electric control box 2 is equipped with a controller, a motor and a transmission mechanism, and the electric control box 2 is located on land, the pontoon platform 5 is located in the water, and the protective frame 6 is made of stainless steel, and there are multiple protective frames 6, each of which is provided with a spring rod 7, and there are multiple spring rods 7, which are distributed in a circular array about the center of the airbag 11. The anti-slip pad 8 is annular, and its curvature matches the curvature of the end of the airbag 11.

[0030] The air intake valve 12 is connected to the air pump 4 through a gas pipeline, and the air pump 4 is electrically connected to the electric control box 2. The depth of the socket 15 is adapted to the length of the limit column 14, and its shape is consistent with the shape of the limit column 14 and the elastic column 16 combined. There are multiple elastic columns 16, and the multiple elastic columns 16 are respectively arranged on two opposite sides of the limit column 14, and the lengths and diameters of the multiple limit columns 14 are the same.

[0031] The elastic index of the No. 1 spring 18 and the No. 2 spring 20 is the same, and the No. 1 spring 18 and the No. 1 sliding plate 19 are fixedly connected, and the No. 2 spring 20 and the No. 2 sliding plate 21 are fixedly connected.

[0032] Working principle of the present invention:

[0033] Refer to the instruction manual Figure 1-5 When using this device, first install the buoy platform 5 and the protection frame 6, insert the air pump 4 on the protection frame 6 into the socket 15, and then use the iron ring 9 on the protection frame 6 to hang the iron chain 10 on the iron ring 9 to ensure that the multiple protection frames 6 will not shake due to the buoyancy of the water. Finally, fix the multiple protection frames 6, and finally place the two ends of the uninflated air bag 11 into the anti-slip mat 8;

[0034] Refer to the instruction manual Figure 5-7 When using the device, after the installed pontoon platform 5 is placed in the water, the air inlet valve 12 on the airbag 11 is connected to the air pump 4, which is then connected to the electric control box 2. The controller and motor in the electric control box 2 send a start signal to the air pump 4, and the air pump 4 starts to inflate the airbag 11, and the pontoon platform 5 that was originally submerged in water or floating on the water surface is continuously raised (because the volume of the airbag 11 is continuously increasing, the pontoon platform 5 and the protective frame 6 are continuously raised from the water surface), which solves the problem that when the weight on the pontoon platform 5 is heavy and it is difficult to lift and carry for maintenance;

[0035] After lifting the buoy platform 5 and the protection frame 6, the airbag 11 can be replaced or the protection frame 6 can be disassembled. When disassembling the protection frame 6, it is only necessary to press the direction of any limit column 14 with your hand, squeezing the No. 1 spring 18 in the elastic column 16 to drive the No. 1 sliding plate 19 and the No. 2 spring 20 to operate, and finally push the No. 2 sliding plate 21 to form a buffering elastic potential energy in the elastic column 16, leaving a gap between the elastic column 16 and the limit column 14 from the socket 15, so that the limit column 14 is loose in the socket 15, and the limit column 14 can be easily taken out of the socket 15.
