DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] See also Figure 1-6 The present invention provides a technical solution: a pontoon structure, including a pontoon 1, four side panels 2 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the side wall of the pontoon 1, the height of the two side panels 2 on the left side of the pontoon 1 is higher than the height of the two side panels 2 on the right side of the pontoon 1, a latch 3 is plugged into the side panel 2, and a hollow box 4 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the latch 3, the outer wall of the pontoon 1 is located at the upper side of the side panel 2 and is provided with a depression, one side of the hollow box 4 is located inside the depression on the pontoon 1, and the upper surface of the hollow box 4 is consistent in height with the upper surface of the pontoon 1, the side wall of the pontoon 1 is provided with a water storage tank 5, and the upper part of the side wall of the pontoon 1 is provided with an annular groove 6, which is an annular groove arranged on the side wall of the pontoon 1 and is narrow inside and wide outside A suction groove 7 is provided in the middle of the side wall of the pontoon 1, a third mounting hole 10 and a first mounting hole 8 are respectively provided on the inner wall of the annular groove 6, a second mounting hole 9 is provided on the side wall of the pontoon 1, four third mounting holes 10 are provided on the inner wall of the annular groove 6, and the four third mounting holes 10 are respectively located in the middle of the four sides of the pontoon 1, four groups of second mounting holes 9 and first mounting holes 8 are provided on the four side walls of the pontoon 1, and each group of second mounting holes 9 and first mounting holes 8 has two, and the two second mounting holes 9 and first mounting holes 8 are symmetrically arranged with the suction groove 7 as the center, the middle part of the side wall of the pontoon 1 is recessed inward, and an anti-damage mechanism 11 is also provided inside the pontoon 1;

[0028] When in use, several pontoons 1 can be spliced ​​together. Since the height of the two side panels 2 on the left side of the pontoon 1 is higher than the height of the two side panels 2 on the right side of the pontoon 1, the pontoons 1 on both sides can be fitted together, and the latch 3 is passed through the side panels 2 of the pontoons 1 on both sides to fix the two pontoons 1. After several pontoons 1 are spliced ​​together, a platform for people to walk on can be formed. Since the pontoons 1 can float on the water surface, it is helpful for aquaculture farmers to move on the water surface. Since the middle part of the side wall of the pontoon 1 is concave inward, after the splicing is completed, the friction surface between the inner walls of the pontoons 1 can be reduced, thereby reducing the friction between the two adjacent pontoons 1 when the water surface fluctuates, thereby slowing down damage. In addition, the water storage tank 5 arranged on the side of the pontoon 1 can allow more water to exist between the two adjacent pontoons 1. When the water surface fluctuates, the water body between the two water storage tanks 5 is used for buffering, thereby reducing the impact between the two pontoons 1.

[0029] The anti-damage mechanism 11 includes an annular belt 101, which is an annular belt structure. The upper and lower outer walls of the annular belt 101 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the annular groove 6. The inner wall of the third mounting hole 10 is fixedly connected with a drain pipe 102. A check valve is arranged inside the drain pipe 102, and the output side of the check valve is the side facing the inside of the annular groove 6. An insert 103 is arranged on the outer wall of the other end of the drain pipe 102. The insert 103 is arranged in the middle of the inner side of the buoyancy box 1. A bottom cylinder 104 is sleeved on the lower side of the insert 103. The inner wall of the bottom cylinder 104 contacts the outer wall of the insert 103. The inside of the bottom cylinder 104 is connected to the annular groove 6 through the drain pipe 102. The inner part of the insert cylinder 103 is connected to each other, a protruding plate-like structure is provided on the upper side of the outer wall of the insert cylinder 103, and a spring 105 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the protruding plate-like structure on the insert cylinder 103, the lower end of the spring 105 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bottom cylinder 104, the side wall of the bottom cylinder 104 is fixedly connected to a water inlet pipe 106, the other end of the water inlet pipe 106 is fixedly connected to a concave plate 107, the outer wall of the concave plate 107 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the buoyancy tank 1, the lower side of the insert cylinder 103 is fixedly connected to an extension rod 110, the lower end of the extension rod 110 passes through the bottom cylinder 104 and extends to the lower part of the bottom cylinder 104, and the lower end of the extension rod 110 is fixedly connected to a counterweight block 111;

[0030] One end of the drain pipe 102 located at the lower side of the insert cylinder 103 extends to the inner lower part of the bottom cylinder 104. The connection between the bottom cylinder 104 and the water inlet pipe 106 is located at the lower side of the bottom cylinder 104, and the inside of the bottom cylinder 104 is connected to the side of the concave plate 107 facing the outside of the pontoon 1 through the water inlet pipe 106. The inner wall of the concave plate 107 is located at the end of the water inlet pipe 106 facing the outside of the pontoon 1. A one-way valve 108 is fixedly connected, and the output end of the one-way valve 108 faces the inside of the water inlet pipe 106. The area of ​​the concave plate 107 is larger than the area of ​​the pump. The concave plate 107 seals the side of the suction groove 7 facing the inner side of the pontoon 1, and the side of the inner wall of the suction groove 7 facing the outer side of the pontoon 1 is rounded. The anti-damage mechanism 11 also includes a connecting pipe 109, the upper end of the connecting pipe 109 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first mounting hole 8, and the lower end of the connecting pipe 109 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second mounting hole 9. The annular belt 101 is made of elastic rubber material, and the internal aperture of the connecting pipe 109 is smaller than the inner diameters of the drain pipe 102 and the water inlet pipe 106;

[0031] When the water surface fluctuates, it will cause the pontoon 1 to rise and fall rapidly. When the pontoon 1 floats upward due to the push of the waves, the insert cylinder 103 moves down relative to the bottom cylinder 104. After the waves pass, when the pontoon 1 moves down, the insert cylinder 103 moves up relative to the bottom cylinder 104, and the drainage pipe 102 is a deformable hose. When the pontoon 1 rises and falls, the counterweight block 111 moves in the opposite direction relative to the pontoon 1 due to its own inertia under the elastic support of the spring 105, and since the bottom cylinder 104 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the pontoon 1 through the water inlet pipe 106 and the concave plate 107, the bottom cylinder 104 cannot move, so that the counterweight block 111 can drive the insert cylinder 103 to move up and down relative to the bottom cylinder 104 through the extension rod 110. When the bottom tube 104 moves downward, since a check valve is provided inside the drainage pipe 102, and the check valve cannot support the conveying of substances from the inside of the annular groove 6 to the inside of the bottom tube 104 through the drainage pipe 102, the water in the middle of the outer wall of the buoyancy chamber 1 is extracted from the inside of the bottom tube 104 through the water inlet pipe 106. When the insertion tube 103 moves downward relative to the bottom tube 104 driven by the counterweight block 111, the water inside the bottom tube 104 will be discharged to between the annular belt 101 and the annular groove 6 through the drainage pipe 102. Since the annular belt 101 is deformable and the connecting pipe 109 has a small aperture and a slow drainage speed, the annular belt 101 will expand, and then the two adjacent buoyancy chambers 1 will be buffered by the expanded annular belt 101, which can reduce the damage caused by the mutual collision caused by the water flow fluctuation.

[0032] Furthermore, due to the mutual friction caused by the expansion between the annular belts 101, the algae adhered to the surface can be removed by friction, so that the algae that fall off by friction form nutrients between the several pontoons 1, which is beneficial to the growth of algae attached to the side of the pontoon 1, and then the damage caused by mutual friction is reduced by the attachment and growth of algae. When the waves drive the pontoons 1 to move upward, the annular belts 101 are filled with water and expanded. Then, when the pontoons 1 move downward after the waves, the expanded pontoons 1 can further seal the gaps between the pontoons 1, so as to prevent the water from spraying upward from the narrow gaps between the pontoons 1 when the waves fluctuate, which is beneficial for people to walk. In addition, when the waves drive the pontoons 1 to move upward, water will be pumped out from the inside of the insert tube 103 and the bottom tube 104 through the water inlet pipe 106, and the water will be discharged from the side of the pontoon 1 after the waves through the second mounting hole 9. By adjusting the amount of water between the pontoons 1, the fluctuation amplitude of the pontoons 1 driven by the water surface fluctuations is reduced, thereby reducing friction damage.

[0033] Because water is retained for a long time between the annular belt 101 and the annular groove 6 and the space is relatively sealed, and there are recessed structures such as the concave plate 107 and the water storage tank 5 between several pontoons 1, the water flow rate between the pontoons 1 is slow, which is conducive to the growth of attached algae. The algae propagated in the annular groove 6 and the annular belt 101 can enter between the pontoons 1 as the connecting pipe 109 is slowly discharged, thereby intensifying the growth of algae between the pontoons 1. Since the algae can increase the water flow resistance and the algae are relatively smooth, the algae attached to the side wall of the pontoon 1 can reduce friction and impact damage.
