[0022] The stool structure 2 includes a stool side plate 201, a stool top plate 202, a connector 204, and a smart electronic lock 205. The stool side plate 201 is located on the upper surface of the plain concrete foundation 102, the stool top plate 202 is located on the upper end of the stool side plate 201, the connector 204 is located on the inner side of the concrete wall 1 and is rotatably connected to the stool top plate 202, and the smart electronic lock 205 is located on the lower surface of the stool top plate 202 away from the connector 204.
[0023] Specifically, the bench structure 2 can provide a convenient place for citizens to rest during the non-flood season, meeting their daily needs for water access while also serving as a warehouse for flood control materials. Flood control materials such as metal movable balusters 6, PTFE membrane water-blocking structure 7, horizontal pressure strips 8, vertical pressure strips 9, water-stop pads 10, and bolts can be placed inside the bench structure 2. During the flood season, when the water level sensor detects that the water level has reached the set position, it automatically sends a signal to control the opening of the smart electronic lock 205 on the bench and reminds the staff to install it on site via a mobile APP. The staff can directly take out the flood control materials from the bench structure 2 and install them directly, reducing the transportation and management costs of flood control materials.
[0024] The connector 204 includes a connector body 2041, fixing bolts, and a connecting shaft 2042. The connector body 2041 is fixed to the concrete wall 1 by the fixing bolts.

[0026] The PTFE membrane water-blocking structure 7 includes a bracket 701, a frame 702, and a PTFE membrane 703. The bracket 701 is fixed to the front of the water-blocking structure embedded part 4 by fixing bolts. The frame 702 is set on the upper surface of the bracket 701. The lower end of the PTFE membrane 703 is set inside the frame 702 by a roller. The upper end of the PTFE membrane 703 extends out of the frame 702 and is located inside the baluster.
[0027] Specifically, the bracket 701 can be used to fix and connect with the embedded part 4 of the water-blocking structure to support the frame 702. The frame 702 can be used to store the PTFE membrane 703 during the non-flood season, and the PTFE membrane 703 can be pulled out from the frame 702 during the flood season for water blocking.
[0028] The long embedded part 3 has a slot 301 on the inner side of its base plate. A horizontal pressure strip 8 is provided at the lower end of the front of the PTFE membrane 703. The lower end of the horizontal pressure strip 8 presses the PTFE membrane 703 and inserts it into the slot 301. Several lugs 801 are provided at equal intervals on the inner side of the horizontal pressure strip 8. A positioning screw is provided on the lug 801 and the lower end of the positioning screw passes through the PTFE membrane 703 and is threadedly connected to the long embedded part 3. Vertical pressure strips 9 are provided on both sides and the middle of the front of the PTFE membrane 703. Fixing bolts are provided on the vertical pressure strips 9.

A water-stop pad 10 is provided between the PTFE membrane 703 and the vertical plate of the long embedded part 3.
[0029] Specifically, during installation during the flood season, the metal movable baluster 6 is first fixed to the middle of the horizontal plane at the top of the concrete wall 1 using the intermediate embedded part 5 and bolts. Then, the PTFE membrane water-blocking structure 7 is reliably connected to the water-blocking structure embedded part 4 using bolts. After the metal movable baluster 6 and the PTFE membrane water-blocking structure 7 are installed, the water-stop pad 10 is installed. Finally, the PTFE membrane 703 is pulled up from inside the frame 702 to the design elevation, and then tightened using horizontal pressure strips 8, vertical pressure strips 9 and bolts to achieve the water-blocking effect. The water-stop pad 10 effectively ensures the sealing of the PTFE membrane 703 fixing point.
[0030] Among them, the upper end of the PTFE membrane 703 and the two sides of the metal movable support post 6 are provided with a protective edge structure 11. The protective edge structure 11 includes an outer clamping strip 1101 and an inner clamping strip 1102. The outer clamping strip 1101 is provided at the upper end of the water-facing side of the PTFE membrane 703, and the inner clamping strip 1102 is provided at the upper end of the back water-facing side of the PTFE membrane 703. Locking screws 1103 are provided on the outer clamping strip 1101 and the inner clamping strip 1102. The outer clamping strip 1101 and the inner clamping strip 1102 are used to clamp the upper edge of the PTFE membrane 703 and then fix it by tightening the nuts on the locking screws 1103.
[0031] Specifically, the outer clamping strip 1101 and the inner clamping strip 1102 are placed on both sides of the upper end of the PTFE membrane 703, and the locking screw 1103 is passed through the screw hole and the membrane hole. Then, the nut on the locking screw 1103 is tightened. The outer clamping strip 1101 and the inner clamping strip 1102 can clamp the upper edge of the PTFE membrane 703, which plays a protective role for the upper edge of the PTFE membrane 703 and ensures the stability of the upper edge of the PTFE membrane 703.
[0032] Detailed implementation process and principle explanation: By setting up a bench structure 2, during the non-flood season, it can provide convenient rest for citizens and meet their daily water access needs while also serving as a flood control material warehouse. Flood control materials such as metal movable balusters 6, PTFE membrane water-blocking structure 7, horizontal pressure strips 8, vertical pressure strips 9, water-stop pads 10, and bolts can be placed inside the bench structure 2. During the flood season, when the water level sensor detects that the water level has reached the set position, it automatically sends a signal to control the opening of the smart electronic lock 205 on the bench and reminds the staff to install it on site through the mobile APP. Then, the staff can directly take out the flood control materials in the bench structure 2 and install them directly, reducing the transportation and management costs of flood control materials. Furthermore, during the flood season installation, the metal movable baluster 6 is first fixed to the middle position of the horizontal plane at the top of the concrete wall 1 by the intermediate embedded part 5 and bolts. Then, the PTFE membrane water-blocking structure 7 is reliably connected to the water-blocking structure embedded part 4 by bolts. After the metal movable baluster 6 and the PTFE membrane water-blocking structure 7 are installed, the water-stop pad 10 is installed. Finally, the PTFE membrane 703 is pulled up from the frame 702 to the design elevation, and then the horizontal pressure strip 8, vertical pressure strip 9 and bolts are used to tighten it to achieve the water-blocking effect. The water-stop pad 10 can effectively ensure the sealing of the PTFE membrane 703 fixing point. Finally, place the outer clamping strip 1101 and the inner clamping strip 1102 on both sides of the upper end of the PTFE membrane 703, pass the locking screw 1103 through the screw hole and the membrane hole, and then tighten the nut on the locking screw 1103. The outer clamping strip 1101 and the inner clamping strip 1102 can clamp the upper edge of the PTFE membrane 703, which can protect the upper edge of the PTFE membrane 703 and ensure the stability of the upper edge of the PTFE membrane 703.
