[0031] This embodiment provides a floating structure. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it includes a floating body 1 and a connecting member 2, wherein there are at least two floating bodies 1, and two adjacent floating bodies 1 are connected by a connecting member 2. The floating body 1 has a plug-in slot 101 at each opposite end. Along the length direction of the plug-in slot 101, one end of the plug-in slot 101 penetrates the upper surface of the floating body 1, and the two opposite groove walls of the plug-in slot 101 are inclined toward each other from the groove bottom to the groove opening of the plug-in slot 101. The connecting member 2 has a plug-in portion 21 and a connecting portion 22. The connecting portion 22 has a plug-in portion 21 at each opposite end. The plug-in portion 21 has two oppositely arranged plug-in end faces 211. The plug-in portion 21 can be plugged into the plug-in slot 101, and the two plug-in end faces 211 are arranged to fit the two groove walls of the plug-in slot 101.

[0032] Refer to the attached figure, Figure 2 The first direction is the length of the float 1, which is also the depth direction of the insertion slot 101. The two opposite ends of the float 1 in the length direction correspond to the corresponding ends connected to the connector 2. The insertion slot 101 is located at the two opposite ends of the float 1 in the first direction. The second direction is the width of the float 1, which is also the width direction of the insertion slot 101. In the following description, the first side and the second side of the float 1 correspond to the two opposite sides of the float 1 in the second direction. The third direction is the height of the float 1, which is also the length direction of the insertion slot 101. The upper surface of the float 1 corresponds to the upper end surface of the float 1 in the third direction.

[0033] In this embodiment, the floating body 1 can float on water for pedestrians, while the connector 2 serves to connect two adjacent floating bodies 1. Each of the floating bodies 1 has a connecting slot 101 at opposite ends. The connector 2 has a connecting portion 21 at each end of the connecting portion 22. The connecting portions 21 engage with the connecting slots 101 to achieve the connection between the floating body 1 and the connector 2. Specifically, one end of the connecting slot 101 extends through the upper surface of the floating body 1. During connection, the connecting portion 21 is inserted into the connecting slot 101 from top to bottom. The two opposite groove walls of the plug-in slot 101 are inclined in the direction from the groove bottom to the groove opening of the plug-in slot 101 toward each other, and the two plug-in end faces 211 of the plug-in portion 21 can fit with the two groove walls of the plug-in slot 101, that is, from a top-down perspective, the plug-in slot 101 and the plug-in portion 21 are both trapezoidal in shape, and the groove opening of the plug-in slot 101 corresponds to the upper bottom of the trapezoid, and the groove bottom of the plug-in slot 101 corresponds to the lower bottom of the trapezoid. With such an arrangement, a mortise and tenon structure similar to that of the plug-in portion 21 and the plug-in slot 101 can be formed. After the plug-in portion 21 is inserted into the plug-in slot 101, it fits tightly, achieving a reliable and firm engagement, and is not easy to fall out, thereby ensuring the reliability and effectiveness of the plug-in. The drifting buoy structure can adaptably set the number of floats 1 and connectors 2 as needed. Compared with the traditional integral floating platform, it has a simple structure, is flexible and convenient to disassemble and assemble, reduces the restrictions on the layout caused by the area occupied by the water area, and is convenient for operators to operate on the water.

[0034] As an optional embodiment, the plug-in slot 101 is opened at the end of the floating body 1. The plug-in slot 101 can be directly opened at the end of the floating body 1, which has a simple structure and is easy to process.

[0035] However, the method of directly cutting grooves on the float 1 will also occupy the space of the float 1 itself. Therefore, as an optional embodiment, two oppositely arranged protrusions 11 are provided at the end of the float 1. The two protrusions 11 are inclined outward from the end of the float 1 toward each other, and a bottom plate 12 is connected between the two protrusions 11. The protrusions 11, the bottom plate 12 and the float 1 together form the plug-in slot 101. Specifically, the inner end faces of the two protrusions 11 correspond to the two relatively inclined inner side walls of the plug-in slot 101. The float 1 is supported on the bottom plate 12 after being inserted through the two protrusions 11. This arrangement is equivalent to extending a structure capable of supporting the plug-in slot 101 on the outside of the end of the float 1, without occupying the internal space of the float 1.

[0036] For example, in this embodiment, at two opposite ends of the float 1 , one end is formed with a plug-in slot 101 directly opened at the end of the float 1 , and the other end is formed with a convex plate 11 and a bottom plate 12 to enclose the plug-in slot 101 .

[0037] In this embodiment, the protruding plate 11 is provided with a first reinforcing rib 13 connected between the protruding plate 11 and the end of the floating body 1. The provision of the first reinforcing rib 13 can enhance the connection strength between the protruding plate 11 and the floating body 1, ensuring the reliability and stability of the connection between the connector 2 and the floating body 1.

[0038] In this embodiment, the floating buoy structure further includes a latch 3, which is adapted to penetrate the insertion slot 101 when the plug-in portion 21 is located in the insertion slot 101, thereby securing the plug-in portion 21 in the insertion slot 101. The provision of the latch 3 can limit the plug-in portion 21 after it is inserted into the insertion slot 101, preventing the plug-in portion 21 from falling out of the insertion slot 101 in the third direction, further ensuring a reliable and stable connection between the connecting portion 22 and the buoy 1.

[0039] In this embodiment, the latch 3 includes a bolt 31 and a nut 32. The bolt 31 extends from the first side of the float 1 through the insertion slot 101 and extends out of the second side of the float 1, where it is threadedly connected to the nut 32. Specifically, the bolt 31 passes through the insertion slot 101 and, after being inserted into the insertion slot 101, positions the connector 21, preventing the connector 21 from falling out of the insertion slot 101 in the third direction.

[0040] Specifically, the floating body 1 is provided with a through hole 14 for the bolt 31 to pass through. The bolt 31 passes through the through hole 14 from the first side of the floating body 1 through the insertion groove 101 and extends out of the second side of the floating body 1.

[0041] In some other optional embodiments, the latch member 3 can be directly set as a locking pin, or can be set as a telescopic cylinder or other component that can perform stopping and releasing actions, which is not further limited here.

[0042] In this embodiment, the upper surface of the floating body 1 is provided with a friction pattern 15. In this way, when a person walks on the floating body 1, the friction pattern 15 can provide reliable friction to the soles of the person's shoes, increasing the friction between the soles of the person's shoes and the upper surface of the floating body 1.

[0043] In this embodiment, a first hole 16 is formed in the float 1. The float 1 has an inner cavity, and the first hole 16 is connected to the inner cavity. Specifically, by providing the first hole 16 connected to the inner cavity, when the outer temperature changes and the inner cavity expands and contracts, air from the outside world can enter the inner cavity through the first hole 16, or gas in the inner cavity can be discharged through the first hole 16, thereby preventing significant deformation of the float 1.

[0044] In this embodiment, grooves 17 are provided on both the first and second sides of the floating body 1. Second reinforcing ribs 18 are disposed on the grooves 17, each of which has a second hole 181 defined therein. The structural coordination between the grooves 17 and the second reinforcing ribs 18 further enhances the overall strength and reliability of the floating body 1. The second holes 181 defined in the second reinforcing ribs 18 also allow for connection to external fixtures as needed, enhancing the practicality and adaptability of the floating body 1.

[0045] 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.
