Currently, flexible offshore photovoltaic connection structures suffer from problems such as insufficient connection strength, high installation and maintenance difficulty, and high material and construction costs.

[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] First Embodiment like Figures 1-4As shown, membrane 1 is a thin film structure and is the core part of the structure. Its main function is to provide buoyancy and float on the water surface. Membrane 1 has a membrane cavity 7 inside, which stores a stable gas, such as nitrogen. The density inside the membrane cavity 7 is less than the density of the external liquid. Therefore, the membrane 1 can provide buoyancy, which facilitates subsequent activities using the membrane 1.

[0022] Ear plates 3 are evenly distributed on the upper and lower sides of the membrane body 1. Ear plates 3 are not directly connected to the membrane body 1. Instead, ear plates 3 mainly serve to support and facilitate subsequent meshing and splicing. Shaft holes 4 are staggered with ear plates 3 and mesh with each other. Therefore, after the meshing and splicing of multiple adjacent ear plates 3 and shaft holes 4, the desired effect of splicing multiple membrane bodies 1 is achieved, which is more adaptable and meets the connection requirements of actual water-air membranes.

[0023] Multiple hinges 2 are evenly provided on the periphery of the membrane body 1. The other side of the hinge 2 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the ear piece 3. The hinge 2 splices and fixes the multiple ear pieces 3 together. At the same time, the setting of the hinge 2 can further improve the support strength of the membrane body 1. The tilt angle of the ear piece 3 matches the outer surface of the shaft hole 4. When the ear piece 3 and the shaft hole 4 are spliced ​​in an alternating manner, their outer surfaces correspond. Therefore, after the corresponding multiple ear pieces 3 and shaft holes 4 are staggered and engaged, their outer surfaces are a smooth plane. This setting facilitates the subsequent improvement of buoyancy.

[0024] The shaft 8 is movably connected inside the shaft hole 4. The shaft 8 mainly inserts and fixes multiple shaft holes 4, effectively improving the connection strength and stability of the shaft holes 4. The shaft hole 4 is provided with an insertion hole 6. The inner wall of the insertion hole 6 is sealed and fixed to the outer surface of the shaft 8. The outer surface of the shaft 8 is in contact with the inner wall of the lug 3. The shaft 8 supports and fixes the interlocking lug 3 and the inner wall of the shaft hole 4, further improving the installation strength and support stability. At the same time, adjacent lug 3 and shaft hole 4 can rotate around the shaft 8 to a certain extent, further improving the activity stability and safety of multiple membranes 1.

[0025] The float plate 9 is located between the misaligned engagement position of the lug 3 and the shaft hole 4 on the same side of the membrane body 1. The float plate 9 not only improves the support stability between the upper and lower lugs 3 and the shaft hole 4 on the same side, but also adjusts the buoyancy of the membrane body 1, thereby ensuring the adaptive floating adjustment function of the membrane body 1 for different water surface conditions.

[0026] After the upper and lower ear pieces 3 and shaft hole 4 on the same side of the membrane 1 are misaligned and engaged, a cavity 5 is formed. The interior of the cavity 5 is misaligned and fixed to the outer surface of the float plate 9. The cavity 5 facilitates the insertion and fixing of the float plate 9. The float plate 9 has buoyancy and its density is less than that of the external liquid. Furthermore, the float plate 9 can further improve the floating strength and floating effect of the membrane 1.

[0027] In this embodiment, a stable gas is first filled into the membrane cavity 7 inside the membrane body 1 to ensure that the volume and size of the membrane body 1 meet the requirements. Then, multiple membrane bodies 1 are spliced ​​together. Specifically, an appropriate number of membrane bodies 1 are transported according to the actual situation, and the multiple membrane bodies 1 are arranged in a positive grid pattern. Then, the corresponding lugs 3 and shaft holes 4 are staggered and engaged, and shaft bodies 8 are inserted into multiple insertion holes 6. The shaft bodies 8 provide movable support for the multiple shaft holes 4. After both the upper and lower shaft bodies 8 are installed, the required float plates 9 are inserted into the cavity 5. The setting of the float plates 9 further improves the buoyancy and fixation stability of the membrane body 1, thereby meeting the adaptability and stability of the membrane body 1 to different water surface environments.

[0028] After the water vapor membrane is connected, the assembled water vapor membrane is placed in the water. With the buoyancy of the membrane body 1 and the floating plate 9, the platform formed by it floats on the water, thus meeting the actual use requirements.

[0029] Second Embodiment like Figure 5-9 As shown, when the above-mentioned water vapor membrane is used on the actual water surface, the water surface will continuously fluctuate and cause multiple water vapor membranes to swing up and down synchronously. Therefore, there will also be a certain degree of tilt angle between adjacent misaligned membranes 1. This tilt angle will cause the top of the membrane 1 to float up and down on the water surface and affect the stability of the membrane 1. At the same time, when the force on the top of the membrane 1 is uneven and the included angle between adjacent membranes 1 is too large, the lugs 3 and shaft holes 4 will squeeze the float 9 and cause damage to its structure. It may even cause one side of the membrane 1 to be submerged in the water and affect its buoyancy.

[0030] To address the aforementioned issues, this water-air membrane connection method further includes the following in practical use: multiple sliding grooves 10 are evenly provided on the top and bottom of the float plate 9. The sliding grooves 10 are positioned corresponding to multiple adjacent lugs 3 and shaft holes 4. A stabilizing gas is provided inside the sliding grooves 10, which can flow with the stabilizing gas inside the membrane cavity 7. A push rod 11 is slidably connected inside the sliding grooves 10. The ends of the push rods 11 are in support contact with the outer surfaces of the lugs 3 and shaft holes 4. Therefore, the push rods 11 support and protect the outer surfaces of the lugs 3 and shaft holes 4, preventing damage to the membrane 1 and the lugs 3 and shaft holes 4 themselves when the included angle between adjacent membrane bodies 1 changes.

[0031] Multiple connecting springs 12 are evenly arranged on the inner wall of the sliding groove 10. The other end of the connecting spring 12 is fixedly connected to the side end of the top rod 11. The connecting spring 12 is elastic, and the setting of the connecting spring 12 further improves the elastic reset effect of the top rod 11. Multiple through holes 13 are evenly opened inside the sliding groove 10 and the membrane body 1. The setting of the through holes 13 facilitates the installation and fixing of the subsequent flow pipe 14. The flow pipe 14 is set inside the through hole 13. The other end of the flow pipe 14 passes through the membrane body 1 and is connected to the inside of the membrane cavity 7. The gas inside the sliding groove 10 and the membrane cavity 7 is connected by the flow pipe 14. The stable gas inside the sliding groove 10 and the membrane cavity 7 can flow along the flow pipe 14, which facilitates the adaptive adjustment of the amount of stable gas inside the membrane cavity 7. At the same time, when the included angle between adjacent membrane bodies 1 is too large, the top rod 11 is supported by air pressure to avoid the ear plate 3 and the shaft hole 4 from squeezing and damaging the float plate 9.

[0032] Therefore, in actual use, multiple water vapor membranes are installed and fixed according to the above process and placed on the water surface. At this time, the membrane 1 is kept stable on the water surface by means of the stable gas inside the membrane cavity 7 and the float plate 9. When waves appear on the water surface, the water surface exerts a force on the bottom of multiple membranes 1 and drives multiple membranes 1 to rise and fall synchronously, and adjacent membranes 1 sway synchronously.

[0033] Simultaneously, when one membrane 1 sways up and down, it drives the hinge 2 to move up and down accordingly. The hinge 2 drives the lug 3 and shaft hole 4 on the other side to move up and down. The lug 3 and shaft hole 4 exert an action on the corresponding push rod 11 and drive the push rod 11 to move along the sliding groove 10 to squeeze the connecting spring 12. The stable gas inside the sliding groove 10 enters the membrane cavity 7 through the flow pipe 14. The amount of stable gas inside the membrane cavity 7 continuously increases and drives the volume of the membrane 1 to increase accordingly. The buoyancy of the membrane 1 increases accordingly, thereby ensuring that the adjacent membranes 1 are stably spliced ​​when swaying up and down on the water surface, avoiding the lug 3 and shaft hole 4 between adjacent membranes 1 from forming an angle and causing damage to their own structure.

[0034] If an operator walks on top of the membrane 1, or if a large object falls on top of the membrane 1, the pressure exerted on the membrane 1 will increase accordingly. As mentioned above, the membrane 1 moves downwards via the hinge 2, causing the lugs 3 and shaft holes 4 to move downwards. The downward pressure exerted on the push rod 11 by the lugs 3 and shaft holes 4 increases, causing the push rod 11 to move downwards along the sliding groove 10. The stable gas inside the sliding groove 10 enters the membrane cavity 7 along the flow pipe 14. The amount of stable gas inside the membrane cavity 7 increases, which in turn increases the volume of the membrane 1. As a result, the buoyancy of the membrane 1 increases, which in turn increases the supporting force on the objects above the membrane 1.

[0035] When the push rod 11 moves downward to its maximum distance, the connecting spring 12 applies a downward thrust to the push rod 11 to its maximum value. With the help of the flow pipe 14, the air pressure inside the membrane cavity 7 and the sliding groove 10 is stabilized at its maximum value. The push rod 11 can no longer move downward into the sliding groove 10. The end of the push rod 11 applies a stable limiting support to the lug 3 and the shaft hole 4, effectively preventing the included angle between adjacent lugs 3 and shaft holes 4 from being too large and causing squeezing damage to the structure of the float plate 9, thereby improving the safety of the float plate 9 and the stability between the membranes 1.

[0036] As the operator moves the object backward, the squeezing force on the membrane 1 decreases. Under the elastic force of the connecting spring 12, the push rod 11 moves upward along the sliding groove 10 to return to its original position. The stable gas inside the membrane cavity 7 flows back into the sliding groove 10 along the flow pipe 14. The amount of stable gas in the temporal part of the membrane cavity 7 returns to normal. Then the membrane 1 and the float 9 return to their initial buoyancy and are connected and fixed on the water surface.

[0037] This water-air membrane connection method is low-cost, flexible, and can float with the waves. It is highly stable, not easily damaged, and can significantly improve the platform's resistance to wind and waves. The structure is also easy to assemble and connect, while taking into account the requirements of eco-friendliness. At the same time, when encountering water surface floating, the buoyancy of the membrane 1 is adaptively adjusted by the flow of stable gas. As mentioned above, when a membrane 1 floats upward due to the water surface and there is a height difference between it and the surrounding membranes 1, the squeezing force applied to the push rod 11 by the lug 3 and the shaft hole 4 increases. The push rod 11 moves downward along the sliding groove 10, and the stable gas inside the sliding groove 10 enters the membrane 1 through the flow pipe 14. The amount of stable gas inside the membrane 1 increases, and its own buoyancy increases accordingly. This prevents the membrane 1 from floating with the water surface and separating from the adjacent membranes, thereby ensuring the stable support effect of the membrane 1 and improving the stability and integrity of the membrane 1.

[0038] Furthermore, when the force applied to the membrane 1 is too great, the ear plate 3 and shaft hole 4 are limited and supported by the elastic force of the connecting spring 12 and the air pressure, which effectively prevents the ear plate 3 and shaft hole 4 from exerting a squeezing force on the floating plate 9 and causing it to be damaged, thereby improving the safety and protection of each part.
