[0001] The utility model relates to the field of marine navigation equipment, in particular to a socket-connected tail pipe of a light buoy. Background Art

[0002] Light buoys are important equipment for navigation marks to function and are widely used in sea areas. The main functions of light buoys are to mark waterways, warn of dangerous areas, etc., to ensure the safety of ships' navigation. In the prior art, light buoys are mainly composed of floats, tail pipes, and weights. The tail pipe, as a key part connecting the float and the weight, is subjected to complex forces from the marine environment, such as wave impact, seawater corrosion, etc., which are very easy to cause rust and damage. For a long time, although the main structure of the buoy has been kept in good condition due to the use of corrosion-resistant materials or coating treatment, the end part of the tail pipe has direct contact with the weight and the existence of gaps, resulting in long-term friction between the steel plates, causing wear and thinning of the steel plate, thus becoming a severely affected area of ​​rust and damage. For such buoys with serious rust and damage to the tail pipe, it would be a pity to replace the entire buoy, resulting in huge waste of resources and economic costs. If it continues to be used, there is a risk of breakage, which causes the weight to fall off and the light buoy loses stability. Therefore, in view of the above technical problems, this application makes improvements. Utility Model Content
