[0030] Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] The specific implementation of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0032] In one embodiment;

[0033] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This invention provides a landscape ecological floating bridge that is easy to move and install, comprising several floating bridge component units, with adjacent floating bridge component units connected by connecting components 23. The floating bridge component units, from bottom to top, include a floating body unit 21 and a floating bridge unit 22. The floating body unit 21 is located in the water and provides buoyancy to the floating bridge unit 22, which is mounted on the floating body unit 21. Adjacent floating body units 21 and floating bridge units 22 are detachably connected by connecting components 23, forming a floating body base 11 and a floating bridge base 12 mounted on the floating body base 11. A load-bearing base 13 is then mounted on the floating bridge base 12 after connection.

[0034] The floating body base layer 11 includes a plurality of floating body units 21 connected in sequence by connecting components 23, and the floating bridge base layer 12 includes a plurality of floating bridge units 22 connected in sequence by connecting components 23. In this embodiment, the floating body unit 21 is a pontoon 21 and a floating bridge unit, which will be described below as pontoon 21 and floating bridge unit 22.

[0035] The connecting component 23 is disposed between two adjacent pontoons 21 and pontoon units 22. The connecting component 23 is provided with a locking connector 24, and the two adjacent pontoon units 22 are detachably connected through the locking connector 24. The bottom of the connecting component 23 is also provided with a lower edge connector 25, and the two connected pontoons 21 are detachably connected through the lower edge connector 25.

[0036] A side wing frame 26 is also provided between the pontoon 21 and the floating bridge unit 22. The side wing frame 26 is connected to the connecting component 23. The bearing surface of the side wing frame 26 is used to support the floating bridge unit 22, and the mounting surface of the side wing frame 26 is fixedly installed to the pontoon 21 by the insertion part 27. The floating bridge unit 22 and the pontoon 21 are connected into one unit by the connecting component 23 and the side wing frame 26 to finally form a floating bridge.

[0037] This embodiment of the landscape ecological floating bridge design consists of a floating body base 11, a floating bridge base 12, and a load-bearing base 13 arranged sequentially from bottom to top. The floating body base 11 is composed of several floating boxes 21 connected in sequence, forming a supporting buoyancy on the water surface. The floating bridge base 12 is composed of several floating bridge units 22 connected in sequence. The floating bridge base 12 is erected on the floating body base 11 to form a load-bearing surface for spreading the load-bearing base 13. Relevant landscape ecological vegetation is planted on the load-bearing base 13.

[0038] The connecting component 23 serves as the mounting assembly for the pontoon 21 and the floating bridge unit 22. The upper part of the connecting component 23 is equipped with locking connectors 24 to sequentially connect the floating bridge units 22. A side wing frame 26 is located at the bottom of the floating bridge unit 22 and is fixed by the locking connectors 24, serving as the load-bearing component of the floating bridge unit 22, thus forming an integrated frame structure. The lower part of the connecting component 23 is equipped with a lower edge connector 25, and the pontoon 21 is sequentially installed on both sides of the lower edge connector 25. The bottom plane of the side wing frame 26, which connects to the floating bridge, is then installed and connected to the pontoon 21 via insertion connectors 27, thereby forming a highly stable multi-level docking structure between the pontoon 21 and the floating bridge unit 22. For the overall structure, this embodiment designs the pontoon 21 and the floating bridge unit 22 as a modular assembly method, facilitating disassembly, installation, and storage, thus making it easy to move and transport within the landscape water area.

[0039] In one embodiment;

[0040] The specific structure of the float 21 is designed as follows in this embodiment.

[0041] Please see Figure 3The float 21 includes a main frame 31, a support frame plate 33 disposed on the top of the main frame 31, and an air-filled bladder 34 installed at the bottom of the main frame 31. The support frame plate 33 has a docking wing frame 32 on its side edge, and adjacent floats 21 are connected to the connecting assembly 23 through the docking wing frame 32.

[0042] The main frame 31 is the main body of the pontoon 21. The support frame plate 33 is used to support the side wing frame 26 and the floating bridge unit 22. The inflatable airbag 34 is set in the bottom area of ​​the inner cavity of the main frame 31 to provide buoyancy. The docking wing frame 32 is used for docking between adjacent pontoons 21.

[0043] In one embodiment;

[0044] Regarding the connection method between the floating bridge units 22, since the connecting components 23 have the same structure on both sides of the pontoon 21 and the floating bridge unit 22, the following embodiments and figures will use the connecting component connection structure on one side of the pontoon and the floating bridge unit as an example. The specific implementation structure is as follows:

[0045] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The main body of the connecting component 23 is a central support block 41, and the locking connector 24 is disposed on the central support block 41. The locking connector 24 includes: two parallel support plates 61 spaced apart on the top of the central support block 41, a flip bolt 62 mounted on the support plate 61, and a connecting plate 63 mounted on the flip bolt 62. The connecting plate 63 is provided with a limiting frame 64. The flip bolt 62 can drive the connecting plate 63 and the limiting frame 64 to rotate. Since part of the connecting plate is located on one side of the support plate, when the connecting plate rotates, the side of the support plate 61 limits the rotation angle of the connecting plate.

[0046] During assembly, first place the side wing frame 26 between the two support blocks 41, then rotate the limiting frame 64 to connect the limiting frame 64 and the side wing frame 26 into one unit. The connection can be made using a detachable method such as a snap-fit ​​structure or a bolt structure. After connection, place the floating bridge unit 22 onto the side wing frame 26 between the limiting frames 64 to provide support. Then rotate the connecting plate 63 to fit the floating bridge unit 22, and lock the floating bridge unit 22 to the connecting plate 63 using the locking bolt 65.

[0047] After the floating bridge is connected and installed, the two support plates 61 of the connecting component 23 are located on both sides of the floating bridge unit 22.

[0048] The middle support block 41 is installed between adjacent floating bridge units 22. The connecting plate 63 and the limiting frame 64 are clamped on both sides of the floating bridge unit 22 by the flip bolt 62, and then locked by the plug bolt 65, thereby fixing the floating bridge unit 22 and the middle support block 41 for docking with the adjacent floating bridge unit 22. The limiting frame 64 is used to assist the floating bridge unit 22 in being erected in the inner frame area of ​​the side wing frame 26.

[0049] In one embodiment;

[0050] The specific implementation structure for the connection method between the floats 21 is as follows:

[0051] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 6 Since the landscape ecological floating bridge described in this embodiment uses the floating body base 11 as the main support structure, the floating bridge unit 22 and the side wing frame 26 are first connected by the connecting component 23. After the floating bridge unit 22 is assembled, the floating box 21 is assembled based on the floating bridge unit 22, so that the floating box 21 supports the floating bridge unit 22.

[0052] The lower edge connector 25 includes: a bottom support block 51 disposed at the bottom of the middle support block 41, side edge blocks 52 installed on both sides of the bottom support block 51, and a flip plate 54 installed on the side edge blocks 52. The flip plate 54 is attached to the corresponding docking wing frame 32 and is installed with the side edge block 52 through a swing shaft 53. The end of the flip plate 54 is provided with an elastic plug 55, and the docking wing frame 32 is provided with a sleeve 56 that matches the elastic plug 55.

[0053] In this embodiment, the flip plate 54 is installed with the side block 52 via the swing shaft 53. The docking wing frames 32 at both ends of the float 21 can be designed as a straight-face structure or a sloped structure to adapt to different water flow trends. The flip plate 54 can be adjusted in direction via the swing shaft 53 to ensure that the flip plate 54 and the docking wing frame 32 are fitted and fixed. The end of the flip plate 54 is provided with an elastic plug 55, which is inserted into the sleeve 56 of the docking wing frame 32, so as to quickly and easily complete the docking assembly between the floats 21.

[0054] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 7 The fitting 27 includes a fitting hook 71 installed at the bottom of the side wing frame 26, and a mounting groove 72 on the docking wing frame 32 that matches the fitting hook 71. A locking pin 73 is installed in the mounting groove 72 by an inner support spring 74. The outer side of the locking pin 73 has a sloping structure, and the locking pin 73 and the inner hook section of the fitting hook 71 are matched.

[0055] Meanwhile, the side wing frame 26 is mounted on the bearing surface of the pontoon 21. When the pontoon 21 and the side wing frame 26 are assembled, the side wing frame 26 is pressed against the docking wing frame 32, so that the insertion hook 71 is inserted into the mounting groove 72. The insertion hook 71 collides with the outer side of the locking pin 73 (i.e., the sloped structure area), thereby pushing the locking pin 73 inward, so that the insertion hook 71 is inserted into the mounting groove 72. At this time, the squeezing force of the insertion hook 71 on the locking pin 73 disappears, the inner support spring 74 rebounds, and pushes the locking pin 73 into the inner hook section of the insertion hook 71, completing the locking of the insertion hook 71.

[0056] In this embodiment, the mounting groove 72 is provided with a limiting groove, and the locking pin 73 is installed in the limiting groove and can only slide along the limiting groove, thereby avoiding the problem of the locking pin 73 coming off.

[0057] In this embodiment, the assembly of the side wing frame 26 and the pontoon 21 is simple and convenient. When the pontoon 21 is combined with the lower edge connector 25, the lower surface of the side wing frame 26 fits into the upper surface area of ​​the docking wing frame 32, and the insertion hook 71 and the mounting groove 72 are automatically inserted and installed. The overall operation is convenient and quick, which can greatly reduce the installation time.

[0058] Assembly sequence of the ecological floating bridge of the present invention:

[0059] First, the side wing frame 26 is connected and fixed via the connecting component 23. Then, the floating bridge unit 22 is placed on the side wing frame 26 and connected via the locking connector 24 on the connecting component 23. Next, the pontoon 21 is placed on the bearing surface at the bottom of the side wing frame 26 and connected to the pontoon 21 via the insertion connector 27. Finally, the pontoon 21 is connected and fixed to the connecting component 23 via the lower edge connector 25. After the floating bridge is connected and fixed, it is fixed to the shore foundation, and then the load-bearing base layer 13 is placed to complete the construction of the ecological floating bridge.

[0060] The ecological floating bridge of this invention has a simple structure, is easy to assemble, and is easy to construct.

[0061] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as exemplary and non-limiting, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within the present invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0062] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
