[0002] Modular floating body technology has been widely used in recent years as a solution in the fields of marine engineering and water-based construction. Although it has shown great potential in improving construction efficiency, reducing costs, and enhancing structural flexibility, the connection problem of modular floating bodies has become a major bottleneck restricting its widespread application in practice.
[0003] Because floating modules are typically large and heavy, traditional connection methods often require the use of large mechanical equipment. In practice, this necessitates a significant investment of manpower, resources, and capital to ensure a smooth connection process, undoubtedly increasing the overall project cost and timeline. Adding to the challenge, the connection of modular floating structures often requires favorable environmental conditions. However, the marine environment is complex and unpredictable; wind, waves, tides, and other natural factors can severely disrupt the operation.

This not only affects the efficiency and quality of the connection operation but also poses serious safety hazards to workers and machinery. Furthermore, traditional underwater connection techniques often require divers to work underwater for extended periods, which places extremely high demands on their physical strength and skills, is highly inefficient, and makes it difficult to guarantee diver safety due to the unpredictable nature of the underwater environment.

[0041] In the triangular structure formed by connector 2, support rod 6, and float 1, connector 2 bears the weight, the supporting force of support rod 6, and the horizontal supporting force of float 1. In a preferred embodiment, the center of gravity of connector 2 is kept at a certain distance from the axis of locking piece 5, requiring the lower connecting block 4 of connector 2 to be embedded in the stationary groove 15 and to maintain relative contact with float 1. Connector 2 is stably stressed, providing a safe condition for the installation of float 1. When there are multiple pairs of connector 2, on-site construction personnel can pre-place support rod 6 in end groove 7 and end groove 9 to prepare for the connection of float 12 to be installed.
[0042] When connecting the floats, the following steps are taken: determining the distance between the two floats 1, the vertical distance between the upper connecting block 3 and the lower connecting block 4, the locking degree of the upper connecting block 3, the locking degree of the lower connecting block 4, and the number of rotations of the locking element 5 during locking. The vertical distance between the upper connecting block 3 and the lower connecting block 4 determines the locking degree of the upper connecting block 3 and the lower connecting block 4. The locking degree of the upper connecting block 3 and the lower connecting block 4 is determined by the number of rotations of the locking element 5; the greater the number of rotations, the greater the locking degree of the upper connecting block 3 and the lower connecting block 4. The locking degree of the upper connecting block 3 can be judged by the distance between the upper connecting block 3 and the upper part of the float 1. When the two floats 1 are connected, the upper connecting block 3 is completely embedded in the static groove 13 and the static groove 14 of the float 1.
[0043] When dismantling the float, the following steps are taken: determining the vertical distance between the upper connecting block 3 and the lower connecting block 4, the degree of loosening of the upper connecting block 3 and the degree of loosening of the lower connecting block 4, and the number of rotations of the locking piece 5 when loosened. These steps are for the replacement and reuse of the connector 2. The vertical distance between the upper connecting block 3 and the lower connecting block 4 determines the degree of loosening of both the upper and lower connecting blocks. The degree of loosening of the upper connecting block 3 and the lower connecting block 4 is determined by the number of rotations of the locking piece 5; the greater the number of rotations, the greater the degree of loosening of both the upper and lower connecting blocks. The degree of loosening of the upper connecting block 3 can be judged by the distance between the upper connecting block 3 and the upper part of the float 1. The upper connecting block 3 gradually detaches from the static groove 13 and static groove 14 of the float 1. When it is completely detached, the connector 2 can be removed from the float 1.
[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, the distance between the two floats refers to the distance between the side of the float to be installed 12 and the target surface corresponding to the installed float 11, and the side of the float to be installed 12 is parallel to the target surface corresponding to the installed float 11. Each float 1 has a fixed mounting slot, which includes static slot 13, static slot 24, static slot 315, and static slot 416, and also includes moving slot 17, moving slot 28, moving slot 319, and moving slot 420. In a preferred embodiment, the two floats used for connection should be in a basically vertical state with similar drafts. When the two floats are connected and installed, there should not be excessive shear force between them. Obviously, when the two floats have different drafts, the locking piece 5 should be tightened. At this time, the upper connecting block 3 is embedded in the float, and the upper surface of the upper connecting block 3 is lower than the upper surface of the float. The greater the preload of the locking piece 5, the stronger the connection between the two floats. The preload between the two floats generates frictional resistance when the floats move up and down, which is used to overcome the shear force between the two floats.
[0045] End slot 7 is located on one or both sides of vertical slot 8, and maintains a fixed distance from vertical slot 8, see... Figure 1 or Figure 2 Vertical slot 8 is located on the side of float 1 and parallel to the side, in a vertical position, for engaging with locking member 5 of connector 2. Vertical slot 10 is located on the side of float 1 and parallel to the side, in a vertical position, for engaging with locking member 5 of connector 2. When two floats 1 are connected, that is, when the installed float 11 and the float 12 to be installed are connected, vertical slot 8 and vertical slot 10 together form a cavity, and locking member 5 is engaged in this cavity. At this time, the installed float 11 and the float 12 to be installed are in close contact with each other.
[0046] like Figures 4-7As shown, the upper connecting block 3 has an upper plate 21, an upper block 24, and an upper inclined plate 25. The upper block 24 has a hole 1 for the insertion and engagement of the locking piece 5. The upper plate 21 and the upper inclined plate 25 are connected by the upper block 24 to form a structure with an H-shaped cross section and a trapezoidal longitudinal section. The upper plate 21 engages with the stationary groove 13, the upper block 24 engages with the stationary groove 14 of the float and the moving groove 18 of the float to be installed, and the upper inclined plate 25 engages with the moving groove 17 of the float to be installed. The lower connecting block 4 has a lower plate 27, a lower block 30, and a lower inclined plate 31. The lower block 30 has a second hole, and a cylinder 32 is provided on the lower block 30. The cavity of the cylinder 32 is smoothly connected to the second hole, and both have internal threads on their inner walls. The lower plate 27 and the lower inclined plate 31 are connected by the lower block 30 to form a structure with an H-shaped cross-section and a trapezoidal longitudinal section. The lower plate 27 mates with the stationary groove 15, the lower block 30 mates with the stationary groove 16 of the float and the moving groove 20 of the float to be installed, and the lower inclined plate 31 mates with the moving groove 19 of the float to be installed. The upper inclined plate 25 and the lower inclined plate 31 both point towards the center of the float to be installed. When the two floats 1 are connected, the upper plate 21 is embedded in the stationary slot 13 of the float 11 that has been installed. At the same time, the upper block 24 is embedded in the stationary slot 14 of the float 11 that has been installed and the moving slot 18 of the float 12 to be installed. The upper inclined plate 25 is embedded in the moving slot 17 of the float 12 to be installed. The lower plate 27 is embedded in the stationary slot 15 of the float 11 that has been installed. At the same time, the lower block 30 is embedded in the stationary slot 16 of the float 11 that has been installed and the moving slot 20 of the float 12 to be installed. The lower inclined plate 31 is embedded in the moving slot 19 of the float 12 to be installed.
[0047] Upper plate 22 and upper plate 3 23 are respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the upper inclined plate 25. Upper plate 22 is closer to the locking member 5 than upper plate 3 23. On the side near the upper block 24, upper plate 22, upper inclined plate 25, and upper plate 3 23 are, from top to bottom, upper vertical surface 9, upper inclined surface 26, and upper vertical surface 33, respectively. Correspondingly, on the side near the moving groove 17, upper vertical edge 34, upper inclined edge 35, and upper vertical edge 36 are, from top to bottom, respectively. Upper vertical edge 34, upper inclined edge 35, and upper vertical edge 36 are connected in sequence. When the two floats 1 are connected, upper vertical edge 34 adheres to upper plate 22 and provides force, upper inclined edge 35 adheres to upper inclined plate 25 and provides force, and upper vertical edge 36 adheres to upper plate 3 23 and provides force. In a preferred embodiment, during the initial connection of the floats, the upper plate 33 23 adheres to the upper vertical edge 34. Then, the upper plate 33 23 moves downwards along the upper inclined edge 35 until it enters the moving groove at the upper vertical edge 36. At this point, the upper inclined edge 35 adheres to the upper inclined plate 25 and provides force, the upper vertical edge 34 separates from the upper plate 22, and the upper vertical edge 36 separates from the upper plate 22. The preload of the two floats 1 increases. It is worth noting that the normal directions of both the upper vertical edge 34 and the upper vertical edge 36 point towards the float 12 to be installed, and the upper vertical edges 34 and 36 provide a basic preload for the connection of the two floats 1.
[0048] The lower inclined plate 31 has a lower plate 39 and a lower plate 28 at its upper and lower ends, respectively. The lower plate 28 is closer to the locking member 5 than the lower plate 39. The lower plate 28, lower inclined plate 31, and lower plate 39, from bottom to top on the side near the lower block 30, are lower vertical surface one, lower inclined surface one, and lower vertical surface two, respectively. Correspondingly, the moving groove 39, from bottom to top on the side near the moving groove 4 20, has a lower vertical edge one, lower inclined edge one, and lower vertical edge two, which are connected in sequence. When the two floats 1 are connected, the lower vertical edge one adheres to the lower plate 28 and provides force, the lower inclined edge one adheres to the lower inclined plate 31 and provides force, and the lower vertical edge two adheres to the lower plate 39 and provides force. In a preferred embodiment, during the initial connection of the floats, the lower plate 3 29 adheres to the lower vertical edge 1. Then, the lower plate 3 29 moves upward along the lower inclined edge 1 until it enters the moving groove at the lower vertical edge 2. At this point, the lower inclined edge 1 adheres to the lower inclined plate 31 and provides force. The lower vertical edge 1 separates from the lower plate 2 28, and the lower vertical edge 2 separates from the lower plate 3 29, increasing the preload of the two floats 1. It is worth noting that the normal directions of both the lower vertical edge 1 and the lower vertical edge 2 point towards the float 12 to be installed, and the lower vertical edge 1 and the lower vertical edge 2 provide a basic preload for the connection of the two floats 1.
[0049] A method for connecting modular floating bodies includes the following steps: S1: First determine the following parameters, including the length, width, height, empty weight, maximum draft, waterline position, upper and lower stationary slot positions, upper and lower moving slot positions, distance between the upper and lower stationary slots, distance between the upper and lower moving slots, the distance between the two floats 1, the vertical distance between the upper connecting block 3 and the lower connecting block 4, the locking degree of the upper connecting block 3, the locking degree of the lower connecting block 4, and the number of rotations of the locking piece 5 when locking.
[0050] Connect the upper connecting block 3 to the lower connecting block 4 via the locking piece 5, ensuring that the vertical distance between the upper connecting block 3 and the lower connecting block 4 exceeds the height of the installed float. Then, suspend the connector 2 at the location of the static groove on one side of the installed float 1, and respectively insert the ends of the support rod 6 into end groove 7 and end groove 9. Figure 1 As shown.
[0051] Specifically, the upper connecting block 3 is located above the upper stationary groove. The bottom surface of the upper connecting block 3 is higher than the upper surface of the float 1. Therefore, the bottom surface of the upper connecting block 3 is also higher than the upper surface of the float 12 to be installed, which facilitates the connection between the connector and the float 12 to be installed.
[0052] S2: Adjust each locking piece 5 to reduce the vertical distance between the upper connecting block 3 and the lower connecting block 4, so that the part of the lower connecting block 4 that contacts the installed float is locked in the stationary groove 15, keeping the locking piece 5 in contact with the vertical groove 8. At the same time, the distance between the part of the upper connecting block that will contact the float to be installed and the part of the lower connecting block that will contact the float to be installed exceeds the height of the float to be installed. Specifically, the lower plate 27 of the lower connecting block 4 has a flange, which is locked in the stationary groove 15 to ensure that the connector 2 is fixed to the installed float 1 and can move vertically up and down. At the same time, the distance between the bottom surface of the upper block 24 and the upper inclined plate 25 and the top surface of the lower block 30 and the lower inclined plate 31 exceeds the height of the float 12 to be installed. S3: The float to be installed 12 is in place and slowly approaches the installed float 11. Specifically, the float to be installed 12 should be around the installed float and approach the installed float 11 at a low speed, with the distance between the two gradually decreasing.
[0053] S4: After the float 12 touches each support rod 6, the support rod 6 is removed, and each upper connecting block 3 is embedded in the corresponding stationary groove 13, stationary groove 2 14, moving groove 17, and moving groove 2 18. After the support rod 6 is touched, it tilts, and the stable triangular structure formed by the connector 2, support rod 6, and float 1 loses its function. Under the action of gravity, the connector 2 moves vertically downward, and the upper connecting block 3 is embedded in the stationary groove 13, stationary groove 2 14, moving groove 17, and moving groove 2 18. The two floats 1 are tightly attached under the action of the upper connecting block 3, and there will be no horizontal movement of the two floats 1 separating.
[0054] S5: Continue to adjust each locking piece 5 to reduce the vertical distance between the upper connecting block 3 and the lower connecting block 4, keeping the locking piece 5 in contact with the vertical groove 1 8. At this time, the lower connecting block 4 is gradually embedded into the stationary groove 3 15, stationary groove 4 16, moving groove 3 19 and moving groove 4 20.
[0055] S6: When the vertical distance between each upper connecting block 3 and lower connecting block 4 reaches the predetermined distance, each connector 2 is connected. At this time, the lower surface of the upper connecting block 3 is attached to the bottom surface of the stationary groove 13, stationary groove 24, moving groove 17 and moving groove 28, the upper plate 22 is attached to the upper vertical edge 14 and provides force, the upper inclined plate 25 is attached to the upper inclined edge 15 and provides force, and the upper plate 33 is attached to the upper vertical edge 26 and provides force. The upper surface of the lower connecting block 4 is attached to the top surface of the stationary groove 35, stationary groove 416, moving groove 39 and moving groove 420, the lower plate 28 is attached to the lower vertical edge 1 and provides force, the lower inclined plate 31 is attached to the lower inclined edge 1 and provides force, and the lower plate 329 is attached to the lower vertical edge 2 and provides force.
[0056] The vertical edge of the upper connecting block 3 abuts against the upper plate 22 and provides force, with the direction of the force perpendicular to the vertical edge. Thus, the upper plate 22 provides a horizontal force from the float to be installed 12 toward the installed float 11. The lower vertical edge of the lower connecting block 4 abuts against the lower plate 28 and provides force, with the direction of the force perpendicular to the lower vertical edge. Thus, the lower plate 28 provides a horizontal force from the float to be installed 12 toward the installed float 11.
[0057] It is worth noting that the horizontal force exerted by the upper plate 22 on the float to be installed 12 pointing towards the installed float 11 and the horizontal force exerted by the lower plate 28 on the float to be installed 12 pointing towards the installed float 11 can occur simultaneously or alternately. When the horizontal force exerted by the upper plate 22 on the float to be installed 12 pointing towards the installed float 11 occurs earlier than the horizontal force exerted by the lower plate 28 on the float to be installed 12 pointing towards the installed float 11, the resistance of the lower connecting block 4 decreases, and the lower connecting block 4 can move towards the upper connecting block 3 more quickly. Similarly, when the horizontal force exerted by the upper plate 22 on the float to be installed 12 pointing towards the installed float 11 occurs later than the horizontal force exerted by the lower plate 28 on the float to be installed 12 pointing towards the installed float 11, the resistance of the upper connecting block 3 decreases, and the upper connecting block 3 can move towards the lower connecting block 4 more quickly.
[0058] Different floats 1 utilize the same connector 2 to achieve modular installation between them. As needed, different floats 1 can be combined into a wider variety of shapes. The connection scheme achieves automatic fixing without manual intervention, greatly improving work efficiency. It can complete underwater locking operations from above water, eliminating the need for through bolts. The locking force and adhesion are balanced and strong, and the locking components are reusable. Overall, this solution offers multiple advantages, including high efficiency, convenience, and economy.
[0059] The method for disassembling modular floating bodies includes the following steps: S1: Then determine the following parameters, including the vertical distance between the upper connecting block 3 and the lower connecting block 4, the opening degree of the upper connecting block 3, the opening degree of the lower connecting block 4, and the number of rotations of the locking piece 5 when it is released; S2: Adjust each locking piece 5 to increase the vertical distance between the upper connecting block 3 and the lower connecting block 4, so that the lower connecting block 4 is disengaged from the lower moving groove of the float to be separated, and the distance between the part of the upper connecting block 3 that contacts the float to be separated and the part of the lower connecting block 4 that contacts the float to be separated exceeds the height of the float to be separated; that is, the distance between the bottom surface of the upper block 24 and the upper inclined plate 25 and the top surface of the lower block 30 and the lower inclined plate 31 exceeds the height of the float to be separated.
[0060] S3: Lift each connector 2, so that the lower connecting block 4 is disengaged from the lower moving groove of the float to be separated, and the upper connecting block 3 is disengaged from the upper moving groove of the float to be separated. At this time, the float to be separated is separated from the installed float, and each connector is disassembled.
[0061] In summary, the connector is easy to install and remove, and does not even require the assistance of large lifting equipment. It provides auxiliary decision-making for on-site construction, greatly improves the connection efficiency of the float, enriches the application scenarios of the float, and saves costs.
[0062] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.
