Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of floating products on water, and particularly relates to a buoy connection structure. Background Art
[0002] The buoy is a hollow structure that can float on the water surface and is widely used in fields such as deep-water aquaculture, docks, floating bridges, water parks, and swimming pools. Currently, most buoys are hollow and made of tough high-molecular polyethylene materials. The buoy is generally in a cuboid structure, and connection ears are respectively arranged at the four corners of the buoy. Multiple buoys are directly connected by inserting pins into the connection ears. However, since the side surface of the buoy is close to a plane and the waves in the water are relatively large, the buoy sways and moves with the waves, which may cause the risk of the pin falling off, resulting in the disconnection of the connection between the buoys and affecting the reliability and stability during the use of the buoys. Content of the Utility Model

[0023] Figure 3 It is Figure 2 an enlarged schematic view of part A-a in Specific implementation manner
[0024] To further clearly elaborate the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present utility model, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The drawings of the present utility model are structural framework diagrams for simple and easy reading, and cannot limit the true purpose of the present utility model.
[0025] Combined with Figures 1 to 3 the content shown, in this embodiment, a buoy connection structure is proposed. The buoy connection structure is used to connect a plurality of buoys 1. Connection ears 10 are provided on the buoys 1. The buoy connection structure includes a frame 2 and a plurality of fixing connectors 4. The frame 2 is arranged corresponding to the buoy 1. Each fixing connector 4 includes a fixing bolt and two nuts 403. One end of the fixing bolt passes through the connection ear 10 and the frame 2 in sequence, and after passing through the connection ear 10 on this side, it is connected to one of the nuts, and after passing through the frame 2, it is connected to the other nut.
[0026] A plurality of positioning and fixing holes are provided on the frame 2. The positioning and fixing holes are arranged corresponding to the connection ears 10. One end of the fixing bolt passes through the frame 2 through the positioning and fixing holes. The frame 2 described herein can be a steel frame.
[0027] The frame 2 can be composed of a plurality of equally spaced cross bars and a plurality of equally spaced longitudinal bars. The cross bars and the longitudinal bars are integrally formed. The positioning and fixing holes are arranged at the connection of the cross bars and the longitudinal bars;
[0028] The fixing bolt includes a limit seat 401 and a connecting rod 402. The bottom of the connecting rod 402 is connected to the limit seat 401. Two threaded sections are provided on the connecting rod 402, namely a first threaded section 421 corresponding to the connection ear 10 and a second threaded section 422 corresponding to the frame 2. One of the two nuts 403 is connected to the first threaded section 421, and the other nut is connected to the second threaded section 422.
[0029] The buoy 1 is in a cuboid shape. The buoy 1 can include a hollow, sealed plastic buoy body composed of a bottom wall, a top wall and four side walls. The four side walls are connected end to end, and the upper and lower end faces of the four side walls are respectively connected to the bottom wall and the top wall. Two non-adjacent side walls among the four side walls are parallel to each other. The connection of the two side walls is the side edge of the buoy 1. One buoy includes 4 side edges. At least one side edge of the buoy 1 is provided with a connection ear 10.
[0030] In some specific implementation manners, a set of pontoons includes 2n pontoons 1, where n is a positive integer, such as n being 2, 4, etc. Each pontoon 1 in the same set is connected to the frame 2 through the same fixed connecting member 4. The connecting lugs 10 of each pontoon 1 in the same set connected to the fixed connecting member 4 are staggeredly distributed in the vertical direction, so as to realize the stacking of the connecting lugs 10 on each pontoon 1 in the same set, facilitating the bolts to sequentially pass through the stacked connecting lugs 10 from bottom to top to connect the pontoons to be connected together, and fixing them with a nut. Then, the bolts are passed through the frame 2 from bottom to top, and fixed with another nut. When a set of pontoons includes 4 pontoons 1, the pontoons in this set are distributed in a square shape.
[0031] The corners of the pontoon 1 above the above-mentioned connecting lug 10 can be chamfered. When a set of pontoons includes 4 pontoons, a funnel-shaped groove with a wider top and a narrower bottom is formed above the connecting lug after the 4 pontoons are assembled.
[0032] The above pontoon connection structure further includes a pin 3. Adjacent two sets of pontoons 1 are connected through the pin 3. At this time, auxiliary connecting lugs corresponding to the pins are provided on the corresponding pontoons. The structure and setting position of the auxiliary connecting lugs can correspond to those of the connecting lug 10, or may not correspond. The technology of using the pin 3 and the auxiliary connecting lugs to form the connection between the pontoons can be directly implemented by the existing technology, so it will not be elaborated again here.
[0033] In some specific implementation manners, when a set of pontoons includes 2 or 4 pontoons 1, there is a connection seam between the pontoons in this set, and the frame 2 is correspondingly distributed with the connection seam. For example, the frame 2 covers the connection seam. Through this design, the frame 2 can be used to balance the pontoons floating with the waves, further ensuring the stability of the pontoons.
[0034] The usage method of the above pontoon connection structure can be as follows: Group all the pontoons. First, use bolts to pass through the connecting lugs of the pontoons from bottom to top and connect them with a nut, and fix them with the nut to form a pontoon group by connecting the grouped pontoons. Then, use the bolts on the pontoons to pass through the corresponding positioning and fixing holes on the frame from bottom to top and connect another nut to connect the pontoon group to the frame. After all the required pontoons are connected, use pins to pass through the auxiliary connecting lugs on the corresponding two pontoons of two adjacent pontoon groups from top to bottom to form further connection and fixation.
[0035] All the above matters not covered can be directly implemented by the existing technology, so they will not be elaborated here. The above is only the preferred mode of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, several similar deformations and improvements can be made, and these should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
