[0034] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features.

[0037] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "installation", "connection", and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it may be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, and it may be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0038] Such as attached Figures 1-7As shown, in a schematic embodiment of the artificial floating island of the present utility model, the artificial floating island includes a floating main body 1, a support beam 2, and an anchor cable 3; the floating main body 1 is hollow inside and is provided with a transverse partition 11, and the transverse partition 11 divides the internal space of the floating main body 1 into a building function layer 13 located in the upper layer and a water tank layer located in the lower layer. Living facilities are built in the building function layer 13, and a number of vertical partitions 12 are provided in the water tank layer. The vertical partitions 12 divide the water tank layer into a number of water tanks 14, and a water inlet and drainage device 5 for injecting water into and draining water from the water tank 14 is installed in the water tank 14; the support beam 2 is used to support the floating main body 1 when the floating main body 1 sinks to the bottom of the water. The support beam 2 is placed on the bottom foundation bed and is located below the floating main body 1; one end of the anchor cable 3 is connected to the floating main body 1, and the other end is anchored to the bottom of the water.

[0039] In the above artificial floating island, the interior of the floating main body 1 is divided into a building function layer 13 and a water tank layer. Among them, living facilities can be built in the building function layer 13 to meet the needs of living and residence; a number of water tanks 14 are provided in the water tank layer. When severe weather such as typhoons occurs, by injecting water into the water tank 14, the floating main body 1 sinks to sit on the support beam 2. With the fixation of the anchor cable 3, the stability can be improved to resist severe weather such as typhoons. At the same time, in the above artificial floating island, when the floating main body 1 sits on the bottom and lies on the support beam 2, there is a certain distance between the floating main body 1 and the bottom foundation bed, avoiding directly pressing on the bottom foundation bed, reducing the adsorption force of the bottom foundation on the floating main body 1, and facilitating the floating main body 1 to quickly return to the floating state when the wind and waves decrease.

[0040] In order to improve the stability of the floating main body 1 in the floating state, such as Figures 2-4As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the anchor cable 3 is connected to an automatic cable winding and unwinding device 4 for automatically winding and unwinding the anchor cable 3. Specifically, in this embodiment, the automatic cable winding and unwinding device 4 includes a tension sensor 42 for detecting the working load of the anchor cable 3, an anchor winch 41 for winding and unwinding the anchor cable 3, and a first controller 43 for controlling the anchor winch 41 to wind and unwind the anchor cable 3 according to the detection result of the tension sensor 42 so as to keep the working load of the anchor cable 3 within the set load range. The anchor winch 41 is installed on the outer wall of the floating body 1. One end of the anchor cable 3 is wound around the anchor winch 41. The tension sensor 42 is arranged on the anchor cable 3. The first controller 43 is communicatively connected to the tension sensor 42 and the anchor winch 41. In this embodiment, the working load of the anchor cable 3 is detected in real time by the tension sensor 42. As the tide level changes, when the floating body 1 floats or sinks, the working load of the anchor cable 3 changes. Thus, the first controller 43 controls the anchor winch 41 to wind and unwind the anchor cable 3 according to the detection result of the tension sensor 42 received, so as to keep the working load of the anchor cable 3 within the set load range, thereby maintaining the stability of the floating body 1 in the floating state. Specifically, when the tide level rises, the floating body 1 floats upward, and the working load of the anchor cable 3 increases. When the working load of the anchor cable 3 increases beyond the upper limit of the set load range, the first controller 43 controls the anchor winch 41 to pay out the anchor cable 3 until the working load of the anchor cable 4 reaches the preset load. When the tide level drops, the floating body 1 sinks, and the working load of the anchor cable 3 decreases. When the working load of the anchor cable 3 decreases below the lower limit of the set load range, the first controller 43 controls the anchor winch 41 to wind up the anchor cable 3 until the working load of the anchor cable 4 reaches the preset load. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the working load of the anchor cable 3 is not judged according to the instantaneous detection result of the tension sensor 42. Instead, the tension sensor 42 performs a detection every set time interval (for example, 1 s), and the maximum value of the detection results of the tension sensor 42 within the set load evaluation period (for example, 5 min) is taken as the detection result corresponding to the load evaluation period, and the working load of the anchor cable 3 is judged based on the detection result corresponding to the load evaluation period. It should also be noted that in this embodiment, the upper limit of the set load range is preferably 70%-80% of the rated load of the anchor cable, the lower limit of the set load range is preferably 10%-25% of the rated load of the anchor cable, and the preset load is preferably 40%-50% of the rated load of the anchor cable. It should also be noted that the first controller 43 can adopt an existing PLC controller or a computer, and its control program can be written by those skilled in the art based on common knowledge according to the above control process.

[0041] Furthermore, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, in this embodiment, the anchor cable 3 includes a first anchor cable 31 distributed around the floating body 1 and inclined, and a second anchor cable 32 distributed at the bottom of the floating body 1 and vertically arranged. Through the cooperation of the inclined first anchor cable 31 and the vertically arranged second anchor cable 32, it is beneficial to maintain the stability of the floating body 1 in the floating state.

[0042] To avoid damage caused by the floating body 1 hitting the support beam 2 when it sinks, as Figures 1-3 shown, in this embodiment, a buffer pad 6 is provided on the support beam 2 to buffer the impact force when the floating body 1 sinks onto the support beam 2.

[0043] Furthermore, as Figures 1-3 shown, in this embodiment, there are multiple support beams 2. When the floating body 1 sinks to the bottom of the water, the multiple support beams 2 jointly support the floating body 1. By arranging multiple support beams 2 to jointly support the floating body 1, it is beneficial to the support stability of the floating body 1. Specifically, in this embodiment, the support beam 2 is in a long strip shape and extends along the width direction of the floating body 1. The length of the support beam 2 is greater than the width of the floating body 1. The multiple support beams 2 are arranged along the length direction of the floating body 1, which is beneficial to ensuring the support stability of the floating body 1. Preferably, at least one support beam 2 is arranged at each end near the length direction of the floating body 1. Thus, the support stability of the floating body 1 is ensured while using the least amount of support beams 2. It should be noted that the bottom of the water bed of the support beam 2 needs to be leveled to ensure that each support beam 2 is stable on the water bed, and the top elevations of each support beam 2 need to be the same.

[0044] As Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, in this embodiment, the water inlet and outlet device 5 includes a water inlet valve 51, a water pump 52, a drain pipe 53, a drain valve 54 and a second controller 55. The water inlet valve 51 is opened on the outer periphery of the floating body 1 and is communicated with the water tank 14. The water pump 52 is arranged in the water tank 14. One end of the drain pipe 53 is connected to the water pump 52 and the other end extends to the outside of the floating body 1. The drain valve 54 is arranged on the drain pipe 53. The second controller 55 is used to control water injection and drainage. The second controller 55 is electrically connected to the water inlet valve 51, the water pump 52 and the drain valve 54 respectively. When the floating body 1 needs to sink, the second controller 55 controls the water inlet valve 51 to open, and water can be injected into the water tank 14. When the floating body 1 needs to float, the second controller 55 controls the water pump 52 and the drain valve 54 to open, so as to discharge the water in the water tank 14 through the drain pipe 53. It should be noted that each water tank 14 can be communicated through a communication port and is provided with an air inlet and outlet port communicated with the water tank 14 to facilitate balancing the air pressure in the water tank 14 and ensuring smooth water injection and drainage.

[0045] To achieve automatic bottom - sitting control of the floating body 1 in bad weather, as Figure 7As shown, in this embodiment, a main controller 7 is provided on the floating body 1, and the main controller 7 is communicatively connected to the automatic cable retracting device 4 and the water inlet and outlet device 5. The main controller 7 is used to receive storm warning signals and storm relief signals, and control the water inlet and outlet device 5 to perform water injection and control the automatic cable retracting device 4 to reel in the anchor cable according to the storm warning signal to make the floating body 1 sink, and control the water inlet and outlet device 5 to perform water discharge and control the automatic cable retracting device 4 to release the anchor cable according to the storm relief signal to make the floating body 1 float. In this embodiment, when the main controller 7 receives the storm warning signal, the main controller 7 controls the water inlet and outlet device 5 to perform water injection and controls the automatic cable retracting device 4 to reel in the anchor cable so that the floating body 1 sinks to the support beam 2, thereby realizing the automatic bottoming control of the floating body 1 in bad weather; after the bad weather, the main controller 7 receives the storm relief signal, and the main controller 7 controls the water inlet and outlet device 5 to perform water discharge and controls the automatic cable retracting device 4 to release the anchor cable so that the floating body 1 quickly floats and recovers the floating state. It should be noted that the master controller 7 is communicatively connected to the first controller 43 of the automatic cable retracting and releasing device 4, and the first controller 43 controls the anchor machine 41 to perform corresponding actions according to the anchor cable reeling action instructions and anchor cable releasing action instructions of the master controller 7; the master controller 7 is communicatively connected to the second controller 55 of the water inlet and outlet equipment 5, and the second controller 55 controls the water inlet valve 51, the water pump 52 and the water outlet valve 54 to perform corresponding actions according to the water injection action instructions and the water discharge action instructions of the master controller 7. It should also be noted that the storm warning signal and the storm release signal received by the master controller 7 can be manually input signals or signals automatically sent by the weather forecast system.

[0046] In addition, it should be noted that living facilities include hotels, fitness facilities and entertainment facilities to meet the needs of tourism development and enrich tourism development.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that: the various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referenced to each other.

[0048] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model rather than to limit it.
