[0032] As Figures 1 to 8 shown, the floating cabin of the trailer caravan in this embodiment includes a caravan 1. Inside one end of the caravan 1 close to the rear of the vehicle, a space capsule 2 is installed. The space capsule 2 replaces the conventional large-volume bed in the caravan 1 and provides a daily sleeping space for users. Inside one end of the caravan 1 close to the front of the vehicle, a base 3 is installed. A groove 4 is opened in the middle of the base 3. The groove 4 is in a semi-elliptical boat shape. A floating cabin 5 is installed inside the groove 4. When in use, high-energy buoyancy liquid is added to the floating cabin 5. The high-energy buoyancy liquid provides a weightless state for the human body, making the human body in the lowest energy consumption state and achieving an unprecedented high degree of relaxation. A drainage channel 6 is opened below the middle of the groove 4 for draining the liquid in the floating cabin 5 to the outside of the caravan 1. A cabin cover 7 is arranged on the upper surface of the floating cabin 5. The cabin cover 7 is used to close the floating cabin 5 when the floating cabin 5 is not in use and for cleaning and disinfection.

[0033] Specifically, the floating pod 5 is in the shape of a semi-elliptical boat. The floating pod 5 provides high-quality energy therapy services for users. The outer diameter size of the floating pod 5 is adapted to the inner diameter size of the groove 4. The floating pod 5 is movably connected inside the groove 4, changing the traditional fixed installation method of the floating pod 5. During use in the RV 1, the flipping and storage function of the floating pod 5 is realized, making full use of the internal space of the RV 1.

[0034] Furthermore, a telescopic groove 8 is provided on one side of the groove 4. The telescopic groove 8 provides a contraction space for the telescopic plate 9 to realize the retractability of the telescopic plate 9. The telescopic plate 9 is arranged inside the telescopic groove 8. After the floating pod 5 is flipped, the telescopic plate 9 extends out to support the folding plate 13 for expansion. An activity groove 10 is provided below the side of the telescopic groove 8 close to the groove 4. The telescopic groove 8 communicates with the activity groove 10. A telescopic rod 11 is installed inside the activity groove 10. The telescopic rod 11 expands and contracts to support the telescopic plate 9 extending out of the telescopic groove 8. Pin shafts 12 are arranged through the upper and lower ends of the telescopic rod 11 to realize the rotational support of the telescopic rod 11.

[0035] Furthermore, the telescopic plate 9 is in the shape of a rectangular plate. The telescopic plate 9 is inserted into the telescopic groove 8 to form a sliding connection. The telescopic groove 8 communicates with the groove 4. The telescopic plate 9 extends out of the telescopic groove 8 and inserts into the groove 4. The extension of the telescopic plate 9 provides a support base point for the expansion of the folding plate 13.

[0036] Furthermore, the top of the telescopic rod 11 is hinged to the telescopic plate 9 through a pin shaft 12, and the bottom of the telescopic rod 11 is hinged to the inner wall of the activity groove 10 through a pin shaft 12. The telescopic rod 11 makes an arc movement around the bottom pin shaft 12 in the activity groove 10, and the telescopic plate 9 makes a linear movement when extending out of the telescopic groove 8. During this process, the two ends of the telescopic rod 11 rotate relative to the telescopic plate 9 and the inner wall of the activity groove 10 respectively through the pin shaft 12. On the one hand, it restricts the telescopic plate 9 from falling off the telescopic groove 8, and on the other hand, it increases the stability of the telescopic plate 9 after extension.

[0037] Furthermore, a folding plate 13 is installed on the upper surface of the base 3 on one side of the floating pod 5. The middle of the folding plate 13 is truncated. A second hinge 14 is connected to the middle of the folding plate 13. The two ends of the folding plate 13 are hinged through the second hinge 14. The folding plate 13 can be folded along the truncated middle part. After the floating pod 5 is flipped, the expansion of the folding plate 13 can use the folding plate 13 as a tatami mat, increasing the leisure space of the RV 1.

[0038] Furthermore, a drain opening 51 is provided at the bottom of the floating pod 5. The drain opening 51 is closed when the floating pod 5 is in use and is manually opened to drain water after the floating pod 5 has been used. Rotating shafts 52 are connected to both the front and rear ends of the floating pod 5 for supporting the connection between the floating pod 5 and the inner wall of the groove 4. Bearings 53 are installed on the rotating shafts 52. A snap ring 54 is provided at the bottom of the floating pod 5. One end of the snap ring 54 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the floating pod 5 through a central shaft, and the snap ring 54 is embedded inside the side wall of the floating pod 5. A fixed column 55 is connected to the upper surface of the base 3 on the side of the floating pod 5 away from the folding plate 13. After the floating pod 5 is flipped, the snap ring 54 is sleeved on the fixed column 55, and the fixed column 55 is used to limit the snap ring 54 to restrict the sliding and rotation of the floating pod 5.

[0039] Furthermore, the number of the rotating shafts 52 is two, which are symmetrically arranged with respect to the floating pod 5. One end of each rotating shaft 52 is connected to the floating pod 5, and the other end of the rotating shaft 52 is rotatably connected to the base 3 through the bearing 53. By rotatingly connecting the rotating shaft 52, the bearing 53 and the base 3, the floating pod 5 can be pushed to rotate and flip around the rotating shaft 52, and the floating pod 5 can be placed perpendicular to the groove 4. On the one hand, the accumulated water in the floating pod 5 can be quickly removed to keep the inner wall of the floating pod 5 dry. On the other hand, the occupied space of the floating pod 5 during idleness can be reduced, realizing the flipping and storage function of the floating pod 5.

[0040] Furthermore, one side of the hatch cover 7 is connected with a first hinge 71. An ultraviolet germicidal lamp 72 is installed at the bottom edge of the hatch cover 7. When the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 72 is turned on, it emits ultraviolet light to irradiate and sterilize the inside of the floating pod 5. A cleaning nozzle 73 is connected to the bottom of the hatch cover 7. The cleaning nozzle 73 uses a high-pressure nozzle. A connecting pipe 74 is connected to the upper surface of the hatch cover 7. One end of the connecting pipe 74 away from the hatch cover 7 is connected with a connector 75. The connecting pipe 74 is externally connected to the water source in the vehicle through the connector 75. The hatch cover 7 is in the shape of an elliptical plate with a hollow interior. The hatch cover 7 is hinged to the side wall of the floating pod 5 through the first hinge 71, and the hatch cover 7 can be flipped to one side to open the floating pod 5.

[0041] Even further, the number of the cleaning nozzles 73 is several, which are circumferentially and equidistantly arranged in an elliptical shape. The cleaning nozzles 73 communicate with the inner cavity of the hatch cover 7. By borrowing the external water source through the connecting pipe 74, the water source enters the inner cavity of the hatch cover 7 and then sprays out from the cleaning nozzles 73 to perform high-pressure flushing on the inner wall of the floating pod 5, realizing the rapid and automatic cleaning of the inner wall of the floating pod 5 without manual scrubbing, and increasing the convenience of using the floating pod 5.

[0042] The usage method of this embodiment is as follows: When using the floating pod 5, the user adds high-energy buoyancy liquid into the floating pod 5, and then lies in the floating pod 5. Under the action of the high-energy buoyancy liquid, the human body is in a weightless state, reducing human energy consumption and providing high-quality energy nourishing therapy services. After the floating pod 5 is used up, open the drain port 51 at the bottom of the floating pod 5 to drain the water from the drain port 51. Then the water flows out from the drain channel 6 at the bottom of the base 3. Then close the hatch 7, externally connect a water source to the connecting pipe 74 with a connector 75. The water source passes through the connecting pipe 74 into the inner cavity of the hatch 7 and finally sprays out from the cleaning nozzle 73 to wash the inner wall of the floating pod 5. After the washing is completed, turn on the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 72 to illuminate and sterilize the inner cavity of the floating pod 5. Then push the floating pod 5 to make the floating pod 5 rotate and flip in the groove 4 with the rotating shaft 52 as the center, place the floating pod 5 perpendicular to the groove 4 to quickly remove the remaining accumulated water in the floating pod 5 and at the same time reduce the occupied space of the floating pod 5 when it is idle. Then manually loosen the telescopic plate 9, and the telescopic plate 9 slides in the telescopic groove 8. At the same time, the telescopic plate 9 drives the telescopic rod 11 to rotate and extend, borrowing the telescopic rod 11 to support the bottom of the telescopic plate 9 to make the telescopic plate 9 extend out of the telescopic groove 8. Then flip the folding plate 13, and the telescopic plate 9 supports the bottom of the folding plate 13 to complete the expansion of the folding plate 13. Items can be placed on the folding plate 13 or a blanket can be laid, and the folding plate 13 can be used as a tatami to increase the leisure space of the RV 1.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.
