[0023] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described more fully below with reference to the relevant drawings. The preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of the present invention more thorough and comprehensive.

[0024] It should be noted that when an element is considered to be “disposed on” another element, it may be directly disposed on or connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element at the same time.

[0025] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention. The terms used in the specification are only for describing specific implementation purposes and are not intended to limit the present invention. Example

[0026] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a floating tail with an inflatable airbag includes a tail rod 1 and an airbag 2. The airbag 2 is sleeved on the upper part of the tail rod 1, and the bottom of the airbag 2 is sealed and fixed to the tail rod. Figure 4 As shown in the enlarged part, it also includes an inflation port 3 connected to the airbag 2, and a one-way valve 4 is provided at the inflation port 3, and the air outlet end of the one-way valve 4 is connected to the airbag 2 through the tail rod 1.

[0027] Specifically, the tail rod 1 is tubular, the inflation port 3 is arranged at the bottom of the tail rod 1 , and the portion of the tail rod 1 located inside the airbag 2 is provided with an air hole 5 connecting the inside of the tail rod 1 and the airbag 2 .

[0028] In this embodiment, the number of the airbag 1 is one, and two collars 6 are provided on the airbag 1. The collars 6 fix the airbag portion at the location on the tail rod 1. The airbag portions on both sides of the collars 6 are connected, that is, the collars 6 allow the entire interior of the airbag 1 to be connected, and the gas can flow freely. Figure 3 Indicated by the direction of the arrow.

[0029] In this embodiment, after the inflation port with a one-way valve is connected to the inflation device, the inflation device inflates the tubular tail rod, and the gas enters the airbag through the air hole to expand the airbag. Obviously, due to the ring structure of this embodiment and the cooperation with the airbag and the tail rod, it can allow Figure 1 , 2 As shown, each section of the tail rod separated by the collar is provided with air holes, and it is also allowed to open air holes only at the top of the tail rod, or to open air holes at any position wrapped by the airbag. After the gas enters the airbag through the air holes, it can flow to any position in the airbag to fully inflate the airbag.

[0030] If the collar 6 seals the airbag 1 part at the location on the tail rod 1, it can be regarded as having multiple airbags, and the tail rod corresponding to the part inside each airbag should have air holes. If it includes more than two independent airbags, the upper and lower ends of the airbags are both sealed and connected to the tail rod, or the airbag at the uppermost end can only have the lower part sealed and connected to the tail rod. Similarly, the tail rod corresponding to the part inside each airbag should have air holes.

[0031] In Example 1, the inflation port is disposed at the bottom of the tail rod. In fact, the inflation port and the one-way valve can also be directly disposed at the top of the airbag, or at any position of the airbag, and directly communicate with the interior of the airbag without passing through the tail rod. In this case, the tail rod can be a solid or hollow tubular structure.

[0032] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the expanded state of the airbag after inflation in Example 1, Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the state of the airbag after deflation. Example

[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, a float comprises the aforementioned float tail a with an inflatable air bag, as well as a float body b and a float foot c, wherein the float tail a, the float body b and the float foot c are connected in sequence from top to bottom.

[0034] The floating tail a also includes a first connecting piece 7 arranged at the bottom of the tail rod 1, and the one-way valve 4 is arranged in the first connecting piece 7. The lower part of the first connecting piece 7 is provided with an external thread 8 for connecting the floating body b, and the upper part of the floating body b is provided with an internal thread 9 matched with the first connecting piece 7. One or two first sealing rings 12 are provided at the matching position of the external thread 8 and the internal thread 9.

[0035] The one-way valve 4 includes a reducing cylinder 41, a spring 42 and a steel ball 43 are arranged inside the end of the reducing cylinder 41 with a larger inner diameter, the end of the reducing cylinder 41 with a smaller inner diameter is the air inlet end, a second sealing ring 44 is arranged at the step inside the reducing cylinder 41, one end of the spring 42 is connected to the reducing cylinder 41 through a bracket 45, and the other end presses the steel ball 43 toward the second sealing ring 44, the bracket 45 is a hollow structure, and the end of the bracket 45 away from the spring 42 is connected to the inside of the tail rod.

[0036] This embodiment is a float with a detachable tail. After the tail (together with the one-way valve) is removed, the inflation device can be directly connected to the one-way valve to inflate the airbag. When inflating, the air pressure blows the steel ball away, and the gas enters the float; when the inflation stops, under the action of the spring and the air pressure inside the float, the steel ball clings to the second sealing ring to achieve a sealing effect. Example

[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, a float comprises the aforementioned float tail a with an inflatable air bag, as well as a float body b and a float foot c, wherein the float tail a, the float body b and the float foot c are connected in sequence from top to bottom.

[0038] The floating tail a also includes a first connecting piece 7 arranged at the bottom of the tail rod 1, and the lower part of the first connecting piece 7 is provided with an external thread 8 for connecting the floating body b, and the upper part of the floating body b is provided with an internal thread 9 matched with the first connecting piece 7. At least one first sealing ring is provided at the matching part of the external thread and the internal thread, preferably two. The surface of the first connecting piece 7 can be provided with anti-slip patterns or decorative patterns, etc., and its shape can also be made into a cross-section of a circle, a polygon or other shapes, as long as it is convenient for people to pinch and rotate.

[0039] In this embodiment, a battery 10 and a light-emitting control circuit 11 are arranged in the first connecting member 7, an LED is arranged at a position corresponding to the airbag on the tail rod, and the LED is connected to the light-emitting control circuit; or the tail rod is a tubular structure, a light-guiding fiber is arranged in the tail rod, and an LED connected to the light-emitting control circuit is also arranged in the first connection, and the LED is located at the bottom end of the light-guiding fiber. The light-emitting control circuit 11 and the corresponding LED connection and position setting are all prior art, including the light-emitting control circuit controlling the light-changing rules of the LED (such as single color light, gravity-induced light-changing, etc.).

[0040] In the present embodiment, the tail rod 1, the float body b and the float foot c are connected hollow structures, wherein the float foot is a tubular structure that is connected from top to bottom, and a one-way valve 4 is arranged on the top of the float foot c, allowing airflow to flow from the float foot to the float body. The structure of the one-way valve is the same as that of the one-way valve in Example 2, and the air inlet end of the reducer is connected to the float foot. When the present embodiment needs to be inflated, the bottom of the float foot is connected to the inflation device, and the gas enters the float body from the bottom of the float foot, and then enters the float tail. Of course, the one-way valve can also be located at the top of the air bag, regardless of whether the float foot and the float body are hollow.

[0041] The airbag can be filled with air, or in order to reduce weight as much as possible, it can also be filled with helium or other safe gases with lower density.

[0042] The one-way valve arranged on the top of the airbag can also adopt an elastic member with self-contracting sealing characteristics. The one-way valve can be connected to the top of the tail rod or not to further fix the airbag.

[0043] The airbag of the present invention can be of one color throughout, or can be provided with different colors at intervals.

[0044] The sleeve described in the present invention can be either an independent component or a part of the airbag, that is, when the airbag is produced, technical means are used to shrink or thicken the corresponding parts of the airbag, or other methods are used to make the corresponding parts have the characteristics of achieving the technical effects claimed in the present invention, and the corresponding technical means are existing technologies.

[0045] The present invention may have only one airbag without a collar, or may separate one airbag into multiple airbags by a collar, such as in Example 1 which may be regarded as having three airbags, or having multiple independent airbags.

[0046] Embodiments 2 and 3 are floats with detachable tails. The tail of the present invention can also be used for an integrated float, that is, the tail and the body of the float cannot be detached. Figure 6 As shown, the one-way valve 4 is arranged at the top of the drift tail a, and the air bag of this embodiment is inflated from the top; or as Figure 7 As shown, the one-way valve 4 is located inside the float body b. In this embodiment, air is inflated from the bottom of the hollow float foot and flows through the hollow tail rod. Example

[0047] like Figure 8 As shown, an inflation device includes an air source 13 and an adapter head 14, one end of the adapter head 14 is connected to the air outlet end of the air source 13, and the other end is adapted to the inflation port in the aforementioned tail or float or the air inlet end of the one-way valve, and the adapter head 14 is preferably a through rubber plug.

[0048] Preferably, the gas source 13 in this embodiment is a syringe, which has a simple structure and is easy to operate. In fact, the technical purpose of the present invention can also be achieved by using other gas sources that can provide the required gas. The adaptation described in this embodiment refers to the ability to reliably connect the gas inlet end of the inflation port or the one-way valve with the gas outlet end of the gas source.

[0049] When the present invention is not inflated, the airbag is in a contracted state. Figure 2 As shown, the volume is small. If you need to improve the conspicuity, you can use the inflation device to connect the inflation port or the one-way valve to inflate the airbag to the required size, which not only significantly improves the conspicuity, but also has little effect on the weight of the float. When it is necessary to deflate, you can insert a strip object into the one-way valve to push open the steel ball, or open the airway of other forms of one-way valves.

[0050] The embodiments described in the present invention are merely descriptions of the preferred implementation modes of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the concept and scope of the present invention. Without departing from the design concept of the present invention, various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present invention by engineers and technicians in this field should fall within the protection scope of the present invention. The technical contents for which protection is sought in the present invention have all been recorded in the claims.
