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.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a floating body connection structure, which includes a connector 2, a connecting cable structure 3, and at least two floating body bodies 1. The two ends of the connector 2 are respectively inserted into and engaged with the two adjacent floating body bodies 1. The connecting cable structure 3 includes a first connecting rope 31 and a second connecting rope 32 arranged in a cross pattern. The two ends of the first connecting rope 31 and the two ends of the second connecting rope 32 are respectively connected to the two adjacent floating body bodies 1.

[0030] By adopting the floating body connection structure of the present invention, the two ends of the connecting member 2 are respectively inserted into the two adjacent floating body bodies 1 and snap-fitted with the two adjacent floating body bodies 1, thereby achieving the purpose of connecting the two adjacent floating body bodies 1. At the same time, the first connecting rope 31 and the second connecting rope 32 arranged crosswise are respectively connected to the two adjacent floating body bodies 1. Such an arrangement can further enhance the connection strength between the two adjacent floating body bodies 1 when facing a harsh marine environment, ensuring that no detachment occurs, thereby ensuring the integrity of the overall floating body connection structure. The use of the floating body connection structure of the present invention effectively solves the problem in the prior art that the floating body structure is easily detached in a harsh marine environment, resulting in deformation of the overall structure.

[0031] In some embodiments, the connecting cable structure 3 is arranged on the side of two adjacent floating bodies 1 facing away from the sea surface or the side facing the sea surface, thereby enhancing the connection strength between the two adjacent floating bodies 1. Alternatively, the connecting cable structure 3 is arranged on the side of two adjacent floating bodies 1 facing away from the sea surface; at the same time, the connecting cable structure 3 can also be arranged on the side of two adjacent floating bodies 1 facing the sea surface. Such an arrangement can further enhance the connection strength between the two adjacent floating bodies 1.

[0032] Optionally, the connecting cable structure 3 may also be provided on the sides of two adjacent floating bodies 1 .

[0033] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the float body 1 has a connecting buckle 11, and the first connecting rope 31 includes a connecting rope body 311 and a first connecting ring 312 and a second connecting ring 313 connected to the two ends of the connecting rope body 311. The first connecting ring 312 is mounted on the connecting buckle 11 of one float body 1, and the second connecting ring 313 is mounted on the connecting buckle 11 of another adjacent float body 1, thereby achieving the purpose of connecting two adjacent float bodies 1.

[0034] Specifically, there are multiple connecting cable structures 3, and the multiple connecting cable structures 3 are arranged in sequence. In this way, the number of connecting cable structures 3 can be increased according to actual conditions to ensure the connection strength between two adjacent floating bodies 1.

[0035] In some embodiments, the first connecting rope 31 and the second connecting rope 32 are both made of polymer. Setting the first connecting rope 31 and the second connecting rope 32 to polymer has the advantages of excellent mechanical properties, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and insulation.

[0036] In this embodiment, the connector 2 includes a connecting block 21, a first clamping block 22, and a second clamping block 23. The first clamping block 22 and the second clamping block 23 are respectively connected to the ends of the connecting block 21, clamping the first clamping block 22 to one floating body 1, and the second clamping block 23 to another adjacent floating body 1. This arrangement allows two adjacent floating bodies 1 to be connected via the first clamping block 22 and the second clamping block 23.

[0037] Specifically, the float body 1 has a snap-fit ​​groove 12, wherein the snap-fit ​​groove 12 passes through the end face of the float body 1 facing away from the sea surface, and the first snap-fit ​​block 22 is inserted into the snap-fit ​​groove 12 of one float body 1 and snap-fitted with the snap-fit ​​groove 12 of one float body 1, thereby achieving the purpose of connecting the first snap-fit ​​block 22 and one float body 1; at the same time, the second snap-fit ​​block 23 is inserted into the snap-fit ​​groove 12 of another adjacent float body 1 and snap-fitted with the snap-fit ​​groove 12 of another adjacent float body 1, thereby achieving the purpose of connecting the second snap-fit ​​block 23 and another adjacent float body 1, and the snap-fit ​​connection method is adopted, which is convenient for installation and disassembly.

[0038] In this solution, the clamping groove 12 is a tapered groove, and the first clamping block 22 and the second clamping block 23 are both tapered structures; in this way, the first clamping block 22 and the second clamping block 23 can be connected to two adjacent floating bodies 1 respectively.

[0039] Alternatively, in an embodiment not shown in the figures, the clamping groove 12 may be a circular groove, and the first clamping block 22 and the second clamping block 23 may both be circular structures;

[0040] Alternatively, in an embodiment not shown in the figure, the clamping groove 12 can be a T-shaped groove, and the first clamping block 22 and the second clamping block 23 are both T-shaped. The above embodiments can achieve the connection between the first clamping block 22 and the second clamping block 23 and two adjacent floating bodies 1 respectively.

[0041] In this embodiment, there are multiple engaging grooves 12 and multiple connecting members 2, and the multiple connecting members 2 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the multiple engaging grooves 12. This arrangement can further enhance the connection strength between two adjacent floating bodies 1, and the appropriate number can be selected according to actual conditions to ensure the connection strength between two adjacent floating bodies 1.

[0042] Specifically, the material of the connector 2 is glass fiber reinforced plastic or carbon fiber. Glass fiber reinforced plastic has the advantages of being light, high-strength and excellent in chemical corrosion resistance; carbon fiber has the advantages of being strong and chemically resistant.
