Detailed Embodiment

[0027] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0028] This embodiment provides an underwater walkway system, which can be partially submerged below the water surface and provide a bearing surface below the water surface for tourists to walk, reducing the viewing angle of tourists to provide more viewing angles and improving the hydrophilicity of tourists; at the same time, a sump 3 is provided to collect the water body that enters the walkway main body 1 due to waves, etc., reducing the accumulation of water body on the bearing surface and improving the convenience of tourism.

[0029] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the underwater walkway system includes a walkway main body 1, a foundation and a sump 3. The walkway main body 1 is composed of baffles on both sides and a bottom plate in the middle, and the two sides of the bottom plate are respectively connected to the baffles to form a trough-shaped structure. It effectively blocks the water bodies on both sides of the walkway, making the interior of the walkway main body 1 form a relatively dry space, which is convenient for tourists to walk.

[0030] The top surface of the bottom plate is designed as a bearing surface for tourists to walk. The bearing surface is below the water surface, and the water body is isolated by the baffles and the bottom plate of the walkway main body 1 to ensure that tourists do not directly contact the water body during walking, while at the same time being able to enjoy a unique perspective close to the water surface. The bottom of the walkway main body 1 is immersed below the water surface, which not only increases the interest of tourism but also improves the hydrophilicity, enabling tourists to feel the charm of the water body up close.

[0031] Creating a safe and comfortable walking space below the water surface provides a unique sightseeing experience and enhances visitors' affinity with water.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, the bottom of the pile foundation is embedded in the soil layer 14 under the water to provide a stable support; the top is connected to the carrier plate 21, and the carrier plate 21 is connected to the main body of the trail 1 to form a stable bearing structure. A stable foundation structure is constructed in an underwater environment to support the main body of the trail 1, ensuring the stability and safety of the main body of the trail 1 in the water, and preventing the trail from being damaged or collapsed due to water erosion or geological changes.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, a sump 3 is provided in the bottom plate on the carrier plate 21 , the top opening of the sump 3 is flush with the bearing surface, and a water collecting cavity is formed inside, so that the water inside the walkway body 1 can naturally flow into the sump 3 .

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the bearing surface of the sump 3 in the circumferential direction is inclined relative to the horizontal plane, and the top opening of the sump 3 is located at the lowest point of the bearing surface, which is conducive to the automatic flow of water to the sump 3 under the action of gravity, thereby achieving automatic drainage. It can effectively collect and discharge the water accumulated inside the main body of the trail 1, preventing the water from damaging the trail or affecting tourists' walking. It reduces the cost and difficulty of manual maintenance and improves the overall operating efficiency of the trail system.

[0035] In this embodiment, the baffle can be made of corrosion-resistant, high-strength materials, such as stainless steel, aluminum alloy or specially treated steel, or can be cast in concrete to ensure its durability and stability in long-term use in an underwater environment. The baffle can be designed to be vertical or slightly inclined to prevent water from directly rushing into the interior of the trail. At the same time, there should be a strong connection between the baffle and the base plate, such as welding or bolting. When concrete casting is used, the frame in the base plate and the frame in the side plate can be connected as a whole to ensure the stability of the overall structure.

[0036] In order to increase the viewing experience and hydrophilicity, some baffles can consider using transparent or translucent materials, such as tempered glass or acrylic panels, so that tourists can see the underwater scenery while walking.

[0037] The top surface of the base plate, as a bearing surface, can be treated with anti-skid treatment, such as using anti-skid tiles, laying anti-skid mats or spraying anti-skid paint, to ensure the safety of tourists walking in slippery environments. In addition to the sump 3, the base plate can also be designed with tiny drainage grooves or drainage holes to guide the water flow to the sump 3 to quickly remove the small amount of water that may penetrate into the interior of the trail and keep the interior of the trail dry. The base plate should be designed according to the expected number of people and weight to ensure that it has sufficient strength and load-bearing capacity.

[0038] For pile foundations, select appropriate pile types according to underwater geological conditions and bearing requirements, such as steel pipe piles, concrete piles, or precast piles, etc. Adopt professional underwater construction techniques, such as using a pile driving vessel or divers to assist in construction, to ensure that the pile foundation is firmly implanted into the bottom 14 soil layer. Pile foundations are vulnerable to corrosion underwater and require strict anti-corrosion treatment, such as spraying anti-corrosion coatings, wrapping anti-corrosion layers, etc.

[0039] The load-bearing plate 21 should be made of high-strength and corrosion-resistant materials, such as reinforced concrete or special alloy materials. A reliable connection method should be used between the load-bearing plate 21 and the pile foundation, such as welding, bolt connection, or using prestressed anchor cables, etc. It can also be connected by using embedded connectors, etc., to ensure a firm connection. During the installation process, the load-bearing plate 21 needs to be horizontally adjusted to ensure the flatness of the walkway main body 1 after installation.

[0040] The shape and size of the sump 3 should be designed according to the length, width of the walkway main body 1, and the expected water accumulation volume. Common shapes include circular, square, or rectangular, etc. The inside of the sump 3 should be treated with anti-corrosion, and drainage pipes 9 or water pumps should be installed to drain the collected water out of the walkway system.

[0041] Utilize the circumferentially inclined bearing surface design of the sump 3 to achieve the automatic inflow and concentration of water. At the same time, an automatic water level sensor and a drainage valve can also be set to automatically open the drainage when the water level reaches a certain height. When the automatic drainage system fails or emergency drainage is required, a manual drainage device, such as a drainage pump or an emergency drainage outlet, should be set.

[0042] In this embodiment, the surface of the walkway main body 1 is covered with a waterproof coating 5, and a decorative layer 4 is covered outside the waterproof coating 5. Specifically, first apply a waterproof coating 5 on the surface of the walkway main body 1, such as polyurethane waterproof coating or asphalt waterproof layer, to prevent water penetration. Above the waterproof coating 5, then cover a decorative layer 4, such as tiles, stones, or anti-corrosion wood, etc., which not only beautifies the appearance of the walkway but also increases anti-slip performance and durability. Prevent the basic structure from being damaged due to long-term immersion in water, extend the service life. Improve the aesthetic degree of the walkway and the walking experience of tourists.

[0043] A water retaining edge is installed at the top of the baffle, such as Figure 2 As shown, install a circumferentially outwardly inclined water retaining edge at the top edge of the baffle, usually made of corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy. Prevent the water surface waves or splashed water from directly splashing into the inside of the walkway, and keep the inside of the walkway dry and clean.

[0044] The top opening position of the sump 3 is blocked by a sump cover plate 6, and the sump cover plate 6 is a perforated plate, which is embedded in the top opening of the sump 3. Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, an orifice plate is installed at the top opening of the sump pit 3 as the sump pit cover plate 6. The cover plate is embedded in the opening and fixed firmly. The orifice plate allows water in the water body to flow into the sump pit 3 through the holes, while preventing large particles from entering. It prevents sundries in the footpath or tourists from accidentally falling into the sump pit 3, ensuring the normal operation of the sump pit 3 and keeping the interior of the footpath clean and beautiful.

[0045] As Figure 3 shown, a catch pit 7 is excavated outside the footpath main body 1. The bottom end of the sump pit 3 is connected to the catch pit 7 through a water diversion pipe. The water diversion pipe is inclined, and the lower end of the water diversion pipe is connected to the catch pit 7.

[0046] The catch pit 7 is used to collect the water body discharged from the sump pit 3. The bottom end of the sump pit 3 is connected to the catch pit 7 through an inclined water diversion pipe to ensure the smooth discharge of the water body.

[0047] A drainage mechanism is arranged in the catch pit 7. The input end of the drainage mechanism faces the bottom surface of the catch pit 7, and the output end of the drainage mechanism is connected to the external water area through a drainage pipe 9. Specifically, the drainage mechanism includes a submersible sewage pump 10, a check valve 11, and a butterfly valve 12 connected in sequence through pipelines. The water inlet of the submersible sewage pump 10 serves as the input end of the drainage mechanism.

[0048] It realizes the effective collection and discharge of the water body inside the footpath, prevents water accumulation from damaging the footpath, improves the drainage efficiency, and ensures the normal operation of the footpath system.

[0049] An exhaust hole 13 is arranged at the top of the catch pit 7 to keep the interior of the catch pit 7 in communication with the external air. It prevents damage to the drainage mechanism caused by negative pressure or positive pressure generated during the drainage process, keeps the air circulation inside the catch pit 7, and reduces the generation of peculiar smells.

[0050] As Figure 3 shown, for the position where the sump pit 3 is arranged, the carrier plate 21 includes a first carrier plate 22 and a second carrier plate 23. The first carrier plate 22 and the second carrier plate 23 are arranged vertically offset and are respectively equipped with pile foundations. The second carrier plate 23 is located below the bottom plate at the distribution position of the sump pit 3, and the first carrier plate 22 is distributed below the bottom plate at the non-sump pit 3 distribution position.

[0051] The carrier plate 21 is divided into two layers, namely the first carrier plate 22 and the second carrier plate 23, and is arranged vertically offset. It improves the bearing capacity and stability of the footpath foundation, optimizes the structure of the drainage system, reduces the construction difficulty, and makes the footpath foundation more stable and able to bear greater loads.

[0052] As Figure 1 shown, both ends of the footpath main body 1 are respectively connected to other garden paths. These garden paths float above the water surface and are connected to the footpath main body 1 in the form of bridges or plank roads. It realizes the seamless connection between the footpath system and other garden paths, improves the overall tour experience, facilitates tourists to enter and exit the footpath system, and improves the passing efficiency.
