[0002] The surface operation platform belongs to a special type of water operation ship, which mainly includes floating module components, which constitute the main structure of the surface operation platform, used for the loading of equipment and the construction of the working space for operators, as well as the connection structure between the floating modules, which is mainly used to achieve a stable connection between the modules of the surface operation platform. Compared with general water operation ships, the surface operation platform does not have complex structures such as hulls and frames, and has the ability to carry operators and equipment such as large cranes. It can be used as an auxiliary tool to maintain or repair ships, boats and other water transport tools. However, the current traditional surface operation platform has a complex size and structure, and is complex to disassemble and assemble. It is impossible to achieve different workspaces according to the operation needs of the enterprise, and it is difficult to adapt to the diverse operating conditions required by the enterprise. When performing actual operation tasks, the surface operation platform cannot adjust the assembly strategy in time when the operating environment changes to adapt to the new operating environment.

[0003] Traditionally, the connection between the components of the surface work platform is mostly by welding or bolting. Although the welding method has high stability, it is difficult to assemble and disassemble, which limits the working space of the surface work platform. The bolt connection method has low installation efficiency and is prone to deformation and failure at the connection when subjected to large loads, resulting in a reduction in the service life of the surface work platform.

In this embodiment, the hoisting device 5 is installed at the corner of the floating body 4. The grooves 10 are located on the wall surfaces of the four sides of the floating body 4, and at least two grooves are arranged on each side.

[0029] See also Figure 2The floating body 4 is a hollow structure, and a manhole 7 is provided on the upper side of the floating body 4. Multiple layers of reinforcing steel plates 6 are fixedly connected to each wall surface inside the floating body 4. Through the manhole 7, it is convenient for people to enter and exit the floating body 4. In this embodiment, the floating body 4 is a rectangular structure. The reinforcing steel plates 6 are fixedly connected to the inner wall surface of the floating body 4 by welding to ensure its structural rigidity under load.

[0030] Furthermore, a ladder 8 is installed inside the floating body 4 at the hole position corresponding to the manhole 7. It is convenient for people to climb into the manhole 7 or climb out of the floating body 4. The ladder 8 is located between the manhole 7 and the lower wall of the floating body 4, and its upper and lower ends are respectively fixed to the upper surface and lower surface of the floating body 4 by welding.

At this time, the adjacent module interfaces 3 on the floating bodies 4 on both sides are aligned.

[0040] S3, see Figure 6 b. Place the first connecting block 20 into the module interface 3 through the safety rope 18, and control the safety rope 18 to make the first connecting block 20 pass through the lower end of the module interface 3 at an angle. Then, control the safety rope 18 to keep the first connecting block 20 horizontal, adjust the position of the first connecting block 20, and lift the first connecting block 20 so that the slots 26 on both sides of the first connecting block 20 respectively clamp the limiting ribs 25 at the lower end of the adjacent module interface 3.

[0043] S6. During disassembly, first limit the upper end of the safety rope 18, then remove the rope buckle on the safety rope 18, and then take out the second connecting block 21. Then, by controlling the two ends of the safety rope 18, the first connecting block 20 is made to fall a certain distance and tilt, and then the safety rope 18 is lifted up, so that the safety rope 18 together with the first connecting block 20 are taken out from the module interface 3, so that the two floating bodies 4 are separated.
