[0002] For a floating breakwater composed of multiple modules, under the action of wind and wave loads, the adjacent modules undergo relative displacement due to their different load conditions. In addition, the connection structure between adjacent modules is subjected to complex and variable loads, making the connection structure extremely susceptible to damage.

[0003] Currently, the connection structures between adjacent floating breakwater modules mainly include rubber ring type and ball type. The rubber ring connection type has a complex configuration, high installation requirements, high installation costs for offshore operations, and is not easy to disassemble later. The ball connection type is now mostly used in flexible wave power generation devices. Due to the essential characteristics of the ball connection structure, its scope of application is limited and it cannot withstand large loads.

[0004] In view of this, it is urgent to propose a breakwater module connection structure that is simple to install, has a wide range of applications and is highly reliable. Utility Model Content

[0039] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0040] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the present invention provides a breakwater module connection structure for connecting breakwater modules 100. The breakwater module connection structure includes an upper connecting shaft 1, a lower connecting shaft 2 and a central connecting member 3. Among them, the upper connecting shaft 1 is passed through the two breakwater modules 100, and the upper connecting shaft 1 can rotate around its own axis; the lower connecting shaft 2 is passed through the two breakwater modules 100, and the lower connecting shaft 2 is located below the upper connecting shaft 1. A locking groove 21 and a locking hole are provided in the middle of the lower connecting shaft 2. The locking hole is connected to the inner wall of the locking groove 21, and a one-way limit plate 22 is provided at the opening of the locking hole; one end of the central connecting member 3 is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper connecting shaft 1, and the other end can squeeze the one-way limit plate 22 and extend into the locking groove 21. The one-way limit plate 22 is configured to limit the end of the central connecting member 3 away from the upper connecting shaft 1 in the locking groove 21.

[0041] The upper connecting shaft 1 cooperates with the lower connecting shaft 2 to connect the two adjacent breakwater modules 100 into a whole, so that the two cannot move relative to each other in the horizontal and vertical directions; the upper connecting shaft 1 can rotate around its own axis, and the upper connecting shaft 1 cooperates with the central connecting member 3. When the two breakwater modules 100 are relatively twisted, the central connecting member 3 can drive the lower connecting shaft 2 to rotate, thereby reducing part of the torsional load; when installing the central connecting member 3, it is only necessary to press the end of the central connecting member 3 away from the upper connecting shaft 1 against the one-way limit plate 22, and press the central connecting member 3 from the locking hole into the locking groove 21. The installation process is simple and convenient, with strong versatility and low production cost.

[0042] Specifically, the breakwater module connection structure also includes two symmetrically arranged adapters 4, which are embedded in the breakwater module 100 in a one-to-one correspondence. The adapters 4 are provided with adapter grooves, into which the two ends of the upper connecting shaft 1 extend in a one-to-one correspondence. The provision of the adapters 4 can prevent the upper connecting shaft 1 from separating from the breakwater module 100 under the action of external loads, thereby improving the stability of the upper connecting shaft 1. Furthermore, the adapters 4 can be pre-embedded in the breakwater module 100 before installing the upper connecting shaft 1.

[0043] More specifically, the adapter base 4 includes an adapter bearing 41 and an adapter flange 42. The adapter bearing 41 comprises an inner ring and an outer ring that can coaxially rotate relative to each other, with the upper connecting shaft 1 fixedly connected to the inner ring. The adapter flange 42 has one end fixedly connected to the breakwater module 100 and the other end fixedly connected to the outer ring. This arrangement ensures that the upper connecting shaft 1 can rotate about its own axis while preventing it from separating from the adapter bearing 41.

[0044] Preferably, in this embodiment, the adapter bearing 41 is a rolling bearing commonly used in the art, and the adapter flange 42 is a flange commonly used in the art, which facilitates local material acquisition.

[0045] Specifically, the breakwater module connection structure also includes two symmetrically arranged fixing seats 5, which are embedded in the breakwater module 100 in a one-to-one correspondence. The fixing seats 5 are provided with fixing grooves, into which the two ends of the lower connecting shaft 2 extend and are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the fixing grooves. The provision of the fixing seats 5 can prevent the lower connecting shaft 2 from separating from the breakwater module 100 under the action of external loads, thereby improving the stability of the lower connecting shaft 2. Before installing the lower connecting shaft 2, the adapter seat 4 can be pre-embedded in the breakwater module 100.

[0046] Specifically, the central connector 3 includes a connecting seat 31 and a connecting rod 32. The connecting seat 31 is fixedly mounted on the upper connecting shaft 1; one end of the connecting rod 32 is fixedly connected to the connecting seat 31, and the connecting seat 31 can drive the connecting rod 32 to rotate around the upper connecting shaft 1. This arrangement increases the contact area between the central connector 3 and the upper connecting shaft 1, improving the stability of the connecting rod 32.

[0047] Preferably, in this embodiment, the connecting seat 31 is welded to the upper connecting shaft 1 .

[0048] Specifically, the one-way limit plate 22 is connected to the lower connecting shaft 2 via a one-way hinge. This arrangement allows the one-way limit plate 22 to rotate only toward the interior of the locking groove 21, and not toward the exterior of the locking groove 21. The one-way hinge is a known prior art, and its detailed structure is not described here.

[0049] Preferably, in this embodiment, two one-way limiting plates 22 are symmetrically provided with respect to the locking hole.

[0050] Specifically, a buffer pad 211 is provided on the inner wall of the locking groove 21 . The provision of the buffer pad 211 can buffer the impact of the connecting rod 32 on the inner wall of the locking groove 21 .

[0051] Preferably, in this embodiment, the buffer pad 211 is a high-strength rubber commonly used in the art, which will not be described in detail herein. In other embodiments, other materials may be used as the buffer pad 211, as long as they can achieve the buffering effect, and are not specifically limited here.

[0052] Preferably, in this embodiment, the lower connecting shaft 2 is a square column. The above arrangement enables the lower connecting shaft 2 to withstand partial torsion, thereby improving the overall strength and stability of the breakwater module connection structure.

[0053] Preferably, in this embodiment, the adapter bearing 41 is a rolling bearing commonly used in the art, and the adapter flange 42 is a flange commonly used in the art, which facilitates local material acquisition.

[0054] The present invention also provides a breakwater system comprising at least two breakwater modules 100, with at least one breakwater module connection structure being provided between each two breakwater modules 100. The breakwater system has all the advantages of the breakwater module connection structure described above, which will not be described in detail here.

[0055] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
