Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of water floating products, in particular to a new type of EPP buoy. Background Art

[0002] The buoy is a hollow structure that can float on the water surface and is widely used in deep-water aquaculture, docks, floating bridges, water parks, swimming pools, etc. At present, most buoys are hollow plastic products made of strong and tough polymer polyethylene materials. The corners of the four buoys are generally arc-shaped and obtuse, and connecting ears are respectively provided on the four corners. Multiple buoys are connected as a whole through connecting pins inserted in the connecting ears.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0020] In order to better understand the purpose, structure and function of the utility model, a new type of EPP buoy of the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0021] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a new type of EPP buoy includes a buoy body 1, which is a hollow, sealed structure consisting of a top surface 4, a bottom surface 16 and six side surfaces. The buoy body 1 is designed as a hexagonal structure, which is the shape that saves the most materials when filling a plane, and can also produce a mechanically very stable support structure, so that the total surface tension of the edge is minimized and it is not easy to deform under the action of external force. A groove 6 is provided on each side, and the groove 6 is used to connect the connecting ears. Connecting ears are provided on each side, which improves the tensile strength of the buoy and improves the service life of the buoy. A first through hole 7 is also provided on the connecting ear, and the first through hole 7 is used for the pin 9 to insert and connect adjacent buoys, and a height difference is formed between the first connecting ear 2 and the second connecting ear 8 on different sides, so that adjacent hexagonal structure buoys are connected as a whole to form the same horizontal plane.

[0022] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a sealable water injection port 3 is also provided on the side. The setting of the water injection port 3 can be used to adjust the buoyancy of the float body 1 to make the float more adaptable. The top surface 4 of the float body 1 is also provided with an anti-slip pad. The anti-slip pad is preferably made of EPP material. The EPP material is safe and environmentally friendly, recyclable and reusable, and has good anti-slip properties. It can have a good anti-slip effect when subjected to external force.

[0023] A honeycomb panel 5 is arranged in the internal space of the buoy body 1 . The honeycomb panel 5 can divide the internal space of the buoy body 1 into a plurality of small spaces independent of each other, thereby improving the stability of the buoy body 1 .

[0024] like Figure 5-6 As shown, the latch 9 is used to fix and connect adjacent buoy bodies 1, and the latch 9 includes: a long axis nut 14, a bolt threadedly connected to the long axis nut 14 and a ball 10, the bolt consists of an upper thick axis bolt 11, a thin axis bolt 12 connected to the lower end of the upper thick axis bolt 11 and a lower thick axis bolt 13 connected to the lower end of the thin axis bolt 12, and a second through hole 15 is provided at the lower end of the long axis nut 14.

[0025] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the buoy body 1 is composed of a top surface 4, a bottom surface 16 and six side surfaces, the hexagonal structure has a stable support structure, is not easily deformed under the action of external forces, a groove 6 is provided on each side surface, each groove 6 is also provided with a connecting ear, and a height difference is formed between adjacent connecting ears, an anti-skid pad is provided on the top surface 4 to play an anti-skid role, and a honeycomb panel 5 is also provided inside the buoy body 1 to divide the internal space of the buoy body 1 into a plurality of independent small spaces, thereby improving the stability of the buoy body 1. Qualitatively, when it is necessary to fix the adjacent buoy bodies 1, align the connecting ears of the adjacent buoy bodies 1, pass the pin 9 through the first through hole 7, and then screw on the thick-shaft bolt 11, so that the bolt moves spirally downward, and when it moves to the second through hole 15 and aligns with the thin-shaft bolt 12, the ball 10 rolls into the second through hole 15 along the slope, and then continue to move the bolt downward, so that the upper thick-shaft bolt 11 squeezes the ball 10, and a part of the ball protrudes from the long-shaft nut 15 to form a jam, thereby completing the fixed connection of the adjacent buoy bodies 1.
