[0030] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0031] Example 1
[0032] like Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, the present invention provides a floating body connection device, which includes two positioning blocks, a connecting member 2, and a plurality of elastic damping members 3. A mounting block 1 is used for fixed connection to a floating body. The two mounting blocks 1 are spaced apart so that the two mounting blocks 1 respectively connect two adjacent floating bodies. A mounting hole 111 is provided on the mounting block 1. A positioning hole 112 is provided on the bottom wall of the mounting hole 111. The positioning hole 112 extends through the bottom wall. The ends of the two mounting blocks 1 provided with the positioning holes 112 are arranged opposite each other. The mounting hole 111 and the positioning hole 112 are coaxially arranged, that is, the mounting hole 111 and the positioning hole 112 together form a stepped hole that extends through the mounting block 1. The connecting member 2 includes a first connecting rod 21 and a second connecting rod 22. The first connecting rod 21 includes a first rod body 212, with a first stopper 211 and a first connecting portion 213 provided at each end of the first rod body 212. The second connecting rod 22 includes a second rod body 222, with a second stopper 221 and a second connecting portion 223 provided at each end of the second rod body 222. The first limiting member 211 and the second limiting member 221 are respectively located in the mounting holes 111 of the two mounting blocks 1 and can move along the axis direction of the mounting holes 111. The first rod body 212 and the second rod body 222 respectively pass through the positioning holes 112 of the two mounting blocks 1 and slide with the hole walls of the positioning holes 112 to guide the first limiting member 211 and the second limiting member 221 when they move in the corresponding mounting holes 111. The first connecting portion 213 and the second connecting portion 223 are connected to realize the connection between the first connecting rod 21 and the second connecting rod 22. Multiple elastic damping members 3 are all mounted on the connecting member 2. Specifically, the multiple elastic damping members 3 are divided into three groups, each group includes a number of elastic damping members 3, the elastic damping members 3 are annular gaskets or pad structures, and the multiple elastic damping members 3 in each group are stacked and arranged. The elastic damping members 3 are made of rubber or silicone. One set of elastic damping members 3 is located between the two mounting blocks 1, with its ends respectively abutting against the two mounting blocks 1. Thus, when the two mounting blocks 1 approach each other, the set of elastic damping members 3 located between the two mounting blocks 1 provides a buffer, preventing direct pressure shock. The remaining two sets of elastic damping members 3 are located within the mounting holes 111 of the two mounting blocks 1, with their ends respectively abutting against the bottom walls of the mounting holes 111 and the connector 2. Thus, when the two mounting blocks 1 move away from each other, the two sets of elastic damping members 3 located within the mounting holes 111 of the two mounting blocks 1 provide a buffer, preventing direct tensile shock. Specifically, among the two groups of elastic damping parts 3 located in the mounting holes 111 of the two mounting blocks 1, one group is sleeved on the first rod body 212 of the first connecting rod 21, one end of which is in contact with the bottom wall of the mounting hole 111, and the other end is in contact with the first limiting part 211 of the first connecting rod 21; the other group is sleeved on the second rod body 222 of the second connecting rod 22, one end of which is in contact with the bottom wall of the mounting hole 111, and the other end is in contact with the second limiting part 221 of the second connecting rod 22.
[0033] The floating connection device in this embodiment provides shock absorption and buffering by setting up multiple elastic damping parts 3, and the elastic damping parts 3 are divided into three groups. One group located between the two mounting blocks 1 is used to provide buffering when under pressure, and the two groups located in the mounting holes 111 of the two mounting blocks 1 are used to provide buffering when under tension, thereby preventing the floating connection device from directly bearing the rigid impact from tension or pressure, delaying the occurrence of fatigue damage, and increasing the service life.
[0034] Furthermore, if Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the mounting block 1 is a wedge-shaped structure with a large end and a small end. A mounting hole 111 is provided at the large end of the wedge structure, and a positioning hole 112 is provided at the small end of the wedge structure. The small ends of the two wedge-shaped mounting blocks 1 are arranged opposite each other. Accordingly, the specific shape of the wedge structure matches the shape of the corresponding wedge-shaped notch on the floating body. During installation, the wedge-shaped mounting block 1 is embedded in the corresponding wedge-shaped notch on the floating body, enabling quick assembly.
[0035] Specifically, the first limiting member 211 and the second limiting member 221 are both flanges. The first limiting member 211 is integrally formed with or welded to the first rod body 212, and the second limiting member 221 is integrally formed with or welded to the second rod body 222. The flanges can slidably engage with the wall of the mounting hole 111 to further improve stability during movement and prevent the first limiting member 211 and the second limiting member 221 from shaking in the radial direction when moving along the axial direction of the mounting hole 111. Correspondingly, a rounded portion 12 is provided at the edge of the mounting hole 111. The rounded portion 12 is used to guide the first limiting member 211 or the second limiting member 221 when installing the first connecting rod 21 or the second connecting rod 22 to prevent jamming.
[0036] Furthermore, the connection between the first connecting portion 213 and the second connecting portion 223 can be a welding connection, an adhesive connection, a clamping connection, or a threaded connection. In this embodiment, the first connecting portion 213 and the second connecting portion 223 are preferably threaded. One of the first connecting portion 213 and the second connecting portion 223 is provided with an external thread, and the other is provided with an internal thread, thereby achieving a threaded connection between the first connecting portion 213 and the second connecting portion 223. To facilitate assembly, the outer diameter of the first rod 212 is equal to the outer diameter of the second rod 222, and the outer diameter of the one of the first connecting portion 213 and the second connecting portion 223 provided with the internal thread is equal to the outer diameter of the corresponding first rod 212 and second rod 222, ensuring that after the first connecting portion 213 and the second connecting portion 223 are threadedly connected, there is no protrusion or depression between the first rod 212 and the second rod 222.
[0037] Furthermore, both the first connecting rod 21 and the second connecting rod 22 are provided with a tightening structure (not shown in the figure), which is used to tighten the first connecting portion 213 and the second connecting portion 223. The tightening structure on the first connecting rod 21 is preferably provided on the side of the first limiting member 211 away from the first rod body 212, and the tightening structure on the second connecting rod 22 is preferably provided on the side of the second limiting member 221 away from the second rod body 222, so that the tightening operation can be performed directly from the mounting hole 111. The form of the tightening structure can be determined according to the structure of the tightening tool, for example, it can be a raised square structure, a raised hexagonal structure, a recessed square structure, or a recessed hexagonal structure provided at the center of the first limiting member 211 or the second limiting member 221, or other structures, which will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
[0038] Specifically, the total number of elastic damping members 3 in this embodiment is 12, divided equally into three groups, each group containing four elastic damping members 3, with the four elastic damping members 3 stacked. When connecting a floating body using the floating body connection device of this embodiment, first, four elastic damping members 3 are sleeved onto the first rod 212 of the first connecting rod 21. The first rod 212 is inserted through the mounting hole 111 of one mounting block 1 and extended from the positioning hole 112. Four elastic damping members 3 are sleeved onto the second rod 222 of the second connecting rod 22. The second rod 222 is inserted through the mounting hole 111 of the other mounting block 1 and extended from the positioning hole 112. Subsequently, two more elastic damping members 3 are sleeved onto the portion of the first rod 212 extending from the mounting hole 111, and two more elastic damping members 3 are sleeved onto the portion of the second rod 222 extending from the mounting hole 111. Finally, the first connecting portion 213 and the second connecting portion 223 are threadedly connected and tightened, completing the assembly of the floating body connection device. The two mounting blocks 1 of the assembled floating body connection device are respectively inserted into the corresponding wedge-shaped notches on the floating body to complete the connection of the floating body.
[0039] Example 2
[0040] To avoid repeated description, in this embodiment, only the differences from the first embodiment will be described. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that a reinforcing rib 13 is further provided between the bottom wall and the side wall of the mounting hole 111 of this embodiment.
[0041] Please refer to Figure 4 As shown, a reinforcing rib 13 is provided between the bottom wall and the side wall of the mounting hole 111, thereby increasing the structural strength at the connection position between the bottom wall and the side wall of the mounting hole 111, reducing stress concentration when the floating connection device is subjected to tension or compression, and further improving the service life.
[0042] Example 3
[0043] To avoid repeated description, in this embodiment, the difference from the first embodiment is described. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that this embodiment further includes an elastic member 4.
[0044] Please refer to Figure 5 As shown, the floating body connection device also includes two elastic members 4, which are respectively arranged in the mounting holes 111 and sleeved on the outside of the elastic damping member 3. The two ends of the elastic member 4 are respectively connected to the connecting member 2 and the bottom wall of the mounting hole 111. Specifically, one elastic member 4 is arranged in the mounting hole 111 of one of the mounting blocks 1, and its two ends are respectively connected to the first limit member 211 and the bottom wall of the mounting hole 111; the other elastic member 4 is arranged in the mounting hole 111 of the other mounting block 1, and its two ends are respectively connected to the second limit member 221 and the bottom wall of the mounting hole 111. The elastic member 4 is preferably a coil spring, and when the mounting block 1 is not subjected to external force, the coil spring is in a free state. By providing the elastic member 4, when the mounting block 1 is pulled, the elastic member 4 and the elastic damping member 3 are compressed synchronously, thereby further buffering the tension exerted on the mounting block 1.
[0045] The steps for assembling the floating connection device with an additional elastic member 4 are the same as those in Example 1, with the only difference being that, before the first rod 212 and the second rod 222 are respectively inserted into the corresponding mounting holes 111, the two elastic members 4 are respectively placed in the mounting holes 111 of the two mounting blocks 1.
[0046] The present invention also provides an aquatic platform comprising a plurality of floats and a float connection device according to an embodiment of the present invention. A mounting block 1 is fixedly connected to the floats, and two adjacent floats are connected via the float connection device. The use of the float connection device of the present invention reduces the amount of maintenance work and costs during use.
[0047] 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.
