[0030] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the offshore conveying mechanism is used to transport the floating body into the water, and the offshore conveying mechanism includes a floating assembly and a rolling assembly. There are at least two floating assemblies, and the floating assembly includes a plurality of pontoons 1. The plurality of pontoons 1 are arranged to rotate in sequence. The pontoons 1 have a receiving cavity for containing liquid. Along the conveying direction of the floating assembly, the amount of water in the receiving cavity of each pontoon 1 increases in sequence, so that the floating assembly is tilted relative to the horizontal plane. The rolling assembly includes a plurality of rolling elements 2. The plurality of rolling elements 2 are arranged at intervals and are rotatably arranged on the pontoons 1. Specifically, the floating body is a photovoltaic panel. Adjacent floating assemblies are arranged in parallel and at intervals. The floating assembly is composed of a plurality of pontoons 1 connected in sequence and floats on the sea surface. The adjacent pontoons 1 are rotatably connected. The pontoons 1 have a receiving cavity for containing seawater. As the floating assembly conveys the float, the amount of water in the chamber increases from the first to the last pontoon 1. The greater the amount of water, the less buoyancy, and the deeper the pontoon 1 sinks. The buoyancy of each subsequent pontoon 1 is smaller than that of the preceding pontoon 1, causing the floating assembly to tilt downward relative to the horizontal plane along the direction in which the floating assembly conveys the float. The rolling elements 2 are configured as rollers. Multiple rolling elements 2 are rotatably mounted on the pontoons 1 and spaced apart along the direction in which the float is conveyed. Under the action of the floating assembly, the float is transported to the seawater through its own gravity and the rolling motion of the rolling elements. The float can be transported from the assembly platform to the seawater without the need for an electric drive, resulting in low cost and ease of transportation.

[0031] Further, continue to refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 The rolling element 2 includes a rolling portion and a connecting portion. The rolling portion is rotatably mounted on the connecting portion. The buoyancy box 1 is provided with a groove 11, and the two ends of the connecting portion are respectively connected to the two side walls of the groove 11. Specifically, the rolling portion is a roller body, the connecting portion is a connecting shaft, the rolling portion is provided with a connecting hole, the connecting portion is passed through the connecting hole, and the rolling portion can rotate relative to the connecting portion. A groove 11 is provided on the top of the buoyancy box 1, and the two ends of the connecting portion are respectively fixedly connected to the two side walls of the groove 11, so that the rolling assembly is in a semi-hidden setting, and the overall structure is highly compact. The floating assembly is tilted relative to the horizontal plane. When the floating body passes through the rolling portion, the rolling portion rotates relative to the connecting portion under the action of its own gravity, so that the floating body passes through multiple rolling portions in sequence and falls into the sea water, which is easy to transport.

[0032] Further, continue to refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 There are two grooves 11, which are arranged parallel and spaced apart along the conveying direction of the floating assembly. There are two rolling assemblies, which are arranged one-to-one with the two grooves 11. Specifically, in this embodiment, there are three floating assemblies. The middle floating assembly has two grooves 11 arranged side by side, and the floating assemblies on both sides have a single groove 11. Floating bodies can be transported between any two adjacent floating assemblies. In other words, the solution provided by this embodiment is that the three floating assemblies can simultaneously transport two floating bodies side by side to the seawater.

[0033] Further, continue to refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 The offshore transport mechanism further includes a rotating member 3, through which two adjacent pontoons 1 are rotatably connected. Specifically, the rotating member 3 includes two rotating parts, which are rotatably connected via a rotating shaft. The two rotating parts are respectively arranged on the side walls of the two adjacent pontoons 1. The rotating member 3 is configured as a hinge, and the parent hinge is respectively fixedly arranged between the two adjacent pontoons 1. Each adjacent pontoon 1 is rotatably matched through the hinge. Since the water content in the accommodating cavity of each adjacent pontoon 1 is different, the buoyancy it receives is also different. According to the amount of seawater in the accommodating cavity, the angle between the pontoons 1 can be adjusted, and the angle can be adaptively adjusted according to the waves and wind force of the seawater.

[0034] Further, continue to refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 The pontoon 1 is also provided with an injection hole and a drainage hole. The injection hole is located at the top of the pontoon 1, and the injection hole is connected to the accommodating chamber and is used to add liquid to the accommodating chamber. The drainage hole is located on the side wall of the pontoon 1, and the drainage hole is connected to the accommodating chamber and is used to drain the liquid in the accommodating chamber. Specifically, when seawater is injected through the injection hole, the more water, the smaller the buoyancy, and the deeper the pontoon 1 sinks. Similarly, when the seawater in the pontoon 1 is drained through the drainage hole, the smaller the water, the greater the buoyancy, and the deeper the pontoon 1 sinks. Ultimately, it is ensured that the multiple pontoons 1 are tilted downward relative to the sea level in the direction of transporting the floating body, thereby ensuring that the floating body can be smoothly transported to the seawater.

[0035] Further, continue to refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 The rolling element 2 and the pontoon 1 are both made of corrosion-resistant materials. Specifically, corrosion-resistant materials include corrosion-resistant alloys, carbon fibers, etc., which are resistant to seawater corrosion and are widely used in fields such as marine engineering and have a long service life.

[0036] This embodiment also provides a floating body launching system, comprising a floating body assembly platform and the aforementioned offshore conveying mechanism. The offshore conveying mechanism is used to transport the floating body assembled on the floating body assembly platform. Specifically, the floating body assembly platform is tilted downward relative to the horizontal plane in the direction of conveying the floating body. The floating body is rolled onto the seawater by its own gravity. The floating body can be transported from the floating body assembly platform to the seawater via the offshore conveying mechanism without the need for electric drive, resulting in low cost and easy transportation.

[0037] Obviously, the above-described embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the manner in which the present invention is to be implemented. A person skilled in the art would be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all embodiments 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.
