[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a floating body assembly device. The floating body assembly device includes: a first support member 1, two second support members 2 and two conveying assemblies 3.

[0028] Specifically, two second supports 2 slide and are spaced apart on either side of the first support 1. One conveying assembly 3 is disposed between the first support 1 and one of the second supports 2, and the other conveying assembly 3 is disposed between the first support 1 and the other of the second supports 2. The conveying assembly 3 is used to transport the floating tubes along a first direction. The first support 1 and the two second supports 2 are each used to support the pontoons. The second supports 2 can drive the pontoons to move along a second direction so that the pontoons on both sides can approach the central pontoon, with the first and second directions being perpendicular to each other. The device transports the floating tubes via the conveying assembly 3, precisely controlling their installation position. The second supports 2 drive the pontoons on both sides toward the central pontoon, squeezing the floating tubes and installing them between two adjacent pontoons, allowing the pontoons and tubes to be precisely assembled, ensuring a smooth surface.

[0029] Optionally, the floating assembly device further includes a limiting post 4, which is disposed between the two conveying assemblies 3 and is located at one end of the first support member 1 proximal to the conveying assembly 3. The opposing end faces of the two floating tubes can abut against the two side faces of the limiting post 4. Specifically, the width of the limiting post 4 is no less than the width of the first support member 1, the height of the limiting post 4 is the same as the height of the supporting surface of the first support member 1, and the limiting post 4 is disposed in front of the first support member 1. The end faces of the floating tubes can abut against the side faces of the limiting post 4, or a gap is provided between the end faces of the floating tubes and the side faces of the limiting post 4, thereby preventing the floating tubes from colliding with the first support member 1 during conveyance.

[0030] Optionally, the conveying assembly 3 includes a conveying platform 31 and a first guide rail 32. The first guide rail 32 extends in a first direction. The conveying platform 31 is slidably mounted on the first guide rail 32. The conveying platform 31 is movable along the length of the first guide rail 32. The floating pipe is mounted on the conveying platform 31. Specifically, the conveying assembly 3 is provided with two first guide rails 32, which are parallel and spaced apart. The conveying platform 31 is slidably mounted on the two first guide rails 32, thereby improving the stability of the conveying platform 31.

[0031] Optionally, the conveying assembly 3 further includes a bracket 33 mounted on the transport platform 31, with the floating tube mounted on the bracket 33. This improves the stability of the floating tube and prevents it from falling. In this embodiment, the conveying assembly 3 is provided with two brackets 33, enabling the transport of two floating tubes at a time, thereby improving conveying efficiency. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of brackets 33 is determined based on actual conditions, and this will not be discussed further here. Furthermore, the conveying assembly 3 further includes a lifting platform, positioned between the transport platform 31 and the bracket 33. This platform is capable of adjusting the height of the bracket 33, and thereby adjusting the installation position of the floating tube, thereby improving installation accuracy.

[0032] Optionally, the conveying assembly 3 further includes a support plate 34, which is mounted on the bracket 33 and the floating tube is arranged on the support plate 34. Specifically, the support plate 34 is arc-shaped, which enables the floating tube to be placed in the arc-shaped groove of the support plate 34, further improving the stability of the floating tube during transportation and preventing the floating tube from falling.

[0033] Alternatively, as Figure 2 As shown, the second support member 2 includes a base 21 and a support platform 22. The support platform 22 is slidably mounted on the base 21 along the second direction and is used to support the pontoon. Specifically, the first support member 1 remains in position. When the transport platform 31 transports the floating tube between the first support member 1 and the second support member 2, the support platform 22 drives the pontoon toward the first support member 1 until the ends of the floating tube respectively abut against the pontoon on the first support member 1 and the pontoon on the support platform 22. This determines the installation position of the floating tube, ensures a consistent installation height of the floating tube, and improves installation accuracy.

[0034] Optionally, the second support member 2 further includes a second guide rail 23, which extends along the second direction and is provided on the base 21. The support platform 22 is slidably provided on the second guide rail 23. Specifically, the second support member 2 is provided with two second guide rails 23, which are parallel and spaced apart. The support platform 22 is slidably provided on the two second guide rails 23, thereby improving the stability of the support platform 22 and allowing the support platform 22 to move along the length direction of the second guide rails 23 to prevent deviation.

[0035] Optionally, the second support member 2 further includes a driving member 24, which is disposed on the base 21 and can drive the support platform 22 to move along the length direction of the second guide rail 23. Specifically, in this embodiment, the driving member 24 is an oil cylinder. Of course, in other embodiments, the driving member 24 can also be a pneumatic cylinder, an electric push rod, etc.

[0036] Furthermore, the second support member 2 further includes a base 25 , which is mounted on the base 21 , and the driving member 24 is mounted on the base 25 , which can improve the stability of the driving member 24 .

[0037] Optionally, the second support member 2 further includes a plurality of limiters 5 mounted on the support platform 22. The plurality of limiters 5 are disposed on top of the first support member 1. The buoyancy chamber can abut against the limiters 5 to prevent movement. Specifically, the second support member 2 and the first support member 1 are each provided with two limiters 5, the two limiters 5 being spaced apart along the first direction. The buoyancy chamber is disposed between the two limiters 5 and abuts against the two limiters 5.

[0038] Furthermore, the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and that various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions are possible for those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, although the present invention has been described in detail through the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and may include many other equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is determined by the scope of the appended claims.
