Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ice building construction technology, specifically relating to an ice bench structure with high load-bearing capacity. Background Technology
[0002] Existing ice structures are all formed through masonry and then illuminated to create unique scenery for tourists to visit and enjoy, thus boosting tourism. They primarily showcase artistic value and are mostly purely for viewing. However, the limited load-bearing capacity of ice greatly restricts the span, height, and strength of ice structures, also affecting their practicality. For example, many ice benches in ice complexes are only for viewing and not for sitting. Because the surface strength of traditional ice benches is limited, excessive pressure on a single point can easily cause them to break. This necessitates the addition of benches for visitors to rest, but the introduction of these benches would significantly detract from the overall aesthetics and visual appeal of the ice complex. Therefore, developing a high-load-bearing ice bench structure that allows visitors to both view and rest is a practical necessity. Utility Model Content
[0003] This invention aims to solve the problem that existing ice bench structures have weak load-bearing capacity and can only be used for tourists to view but not to ride, and thus provides an ice bench structure with high load-bearing capacity.
[0004] A high-load-bearing ice bench structure includes N ice bench modules, N+1 ice bench legs, and N-1 filling plates, where N is a positive integer. The N ice bench modules are arranged equidistantly along the length of the ice bench, with a filling plate between adjacent ice bench modules. The N ice bench modules are connected by the N-1 filling plates to form the ice bench surface. Two of the N+1 ice bench legs are respectively located below the two ice bench modules at both ends of the ice bench surface. The remaining ice bench legs are each located below a filling plate, and the top of each ice bench leg is fixedly connected to the bottom of the ice bench surface.
[0005] Furthermore, the ice bench module includes ice bench blocks and reinforcing components, with the reinforcing components embedded in the ice bench blocks to improve the load-bearing capacity of the ice bench blocks;
[0006] Furthermore, the reinforcing component includes Z plexiglass ribs, where Z is a positive integer. The bottom of the ice bench block is sequentially machined with Z mounting grooves along the width direction of the ice bench block. Each plexiglass rib is correspondingly embedded in a mounting groove (5) and fixed to the ice bench block by ice sealing.
[0007] Furthermore, the value of N ranges from 2 to 6;
[0008] Furthermore, the height of the ice bench structure is 400mm to 440mm;
[0009] Furthermore, the length of the ice bench structure is greater than or equal to 1200mm;
[0010] Furthermore, the width of the ice bench structure is greater than or equal to 320m;
[0011] Furthermore, the overhang length at both ends of the ice bench surface is 100-200mm;
[0012] Furthermore, the height of the ice bench legs is 240mm-340mm;
[0013] Furthermore, the value of Z ranges from 5 to 8.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this application compared to the prior art are:
[0015] This application provides a high-load-bearing ice bench structure. By embedding plexiglass reinforcing bars within ice blocks, the strength and load-bearing capacity of the ice bench structure are greatly improved, elevating its value from mere aesthetic appeal to both aesthetic and functional value. Ice resources are abundant and pollution-free, allowing for local sourcing and reducing transportation costs. The plexiglass reinforcing bars, embedded in the ice bench structure, retain the pure ice structure's appearance, preserving the brilliance and aesthetic appeal of a pure ice building under lighting. Furthermore, the plexiglass reinforcing bars are recyclable and easy to install. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Specific implementation method one: Combining Figures 1 to 7 This embodiment describes a high-load-bearing ice bench structure. The ice bench structure includes N ice bench modules, N+1 ice bench legs 3, and N-1 filling plates 4, where N is a positive integer. The N ice bench modules are arranged equidistantly along the length of the ice bench. A filling plate 4 is provided between two adjacent ice bench modules. The N ice bench modules are connected by N-1 filling plates 4 to form the ice bench surface. Two of the N+1 ice bench legs 3 are respectively located below the two ice bench modules at both ends of the ice bench surface. The remaining ice bench legs 3 are located below a filling plate 4, and the top of each ice bench leg 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the ice bench surface.
[0025] Specific Implementation Method Two: Combining Figures 1 to 7 This embodiment differs from Specific Embodiment 1 in that the ice bench module includes an ice bench block 1 and a reinforcing component. The reinforcing component is embedded in the ice bench block 1 to improve the load-bearing capacity of the ice bench block 1. Other components and connection methods are the same as in Specific Embodiment 1.
[0026] Specific implementation method three: Combining Figures 1 to 7 This embodiment differs from Specific Embodiment Two in that the reinforcing component includes Z plexiglass reinforcing bars 2, where Z is a positive integer. Z embedding grooves 5 are sequentially machined along the width of the ice bench block 1 at its bottom. Each plexiglass reinforcing bar 2 is embedded in one embedding groove 5 and fixed to the ice bench block 1 by ice sealing. Other components and connection methods are the same as in Specific Embodiment Two.
[0027] Specific implementation method four: Combination Figures 1 to 7 This embodiment differs from Specific Embodiment Three in that the value of N ranges from 2 to 6. Other components and connections are the same as in Specific Embodiment Three.
[0028] As described in Specific Implementations 1 to 4, the ice bench structure provided in this application, compared to the traditional ice bench structure, incorporates plexiglass reinforcing bars 2 in each ice bench block constituting the ice bench surface. These reinforcing bars 2 increase the overall bending strength and load-bearing capacity of the ice bench blocks, thereby increasing the span of the ice blocks and realizing the transformation from a structure to a building, thus meeting the functional requirements. Furthermore, the filling plate 4 used in this application is also an ice plate structure. Through the freezing process with cold water, adjacent ice bench blocks are fixed during the freezing process. Since the filling plate 4 is an ice plate and the plexiglass reinforcing bars 2 are also made of transparent material, the ice bench structure provided in this application is still a pure ice structure in appearance, increasing the strength of the ice building while retaining the aesthetic appeal of the ice bench structure.
[0029] Specific Implementation Method Five: Combining Figures 1 to 7 This embodiment differs from Specific Embodiment Four in that the height of the ice bench structure is 400mm to 440mm. Other components and connection methods are the same as in Specific Embodiment Four.

[0033] Specific Implementation Method Nine: Combining Figures 1 to 7 This embodiment differs from specific embodiment eight in that the height of the ice bench leg 3 is 240mm-340mm. Other components and connection methods are the same as in specific embodiment eight.
[0034] Specific Implementation Method Ten: Combining Figures 1 to 7 This embodiment differs from specific embodiment nine in that the value of Z ranges from 5 to 8. Other components and connections are the same as in specific embodiment nine.
[0035] Referring to Specific Embodiments 5 to 10, the above parameters are derived based on the dimensions of benches commonly used for rest. Considering the inherent relationship between the load-bearing capacity and thickness of the ice bench, the corresponding dimensions of the ice bench legs were determined based on the overall height of the ice bench to ensure its stability during use. The ice bench structure differs from traditional benches in its function. Generally, ice benches have a limited load-bearing time, making them unsuitable for prolonged rest from a health perspective. Their primary purpose is to provide short-term rest and more posing options for taking photos. This application, through research on embedding acrylic reinforcement into ice blocks, summarizes convenient construction techniques and the extent to which reinforcement improves the load-bearing capacity of ice blocks. Depending on the occasion, different amounts of acrylic reinforcement are incorporated into the ice bench, increasing its load-bearing capacity and meeting its functional requirements. This makes it not only aesthetically pleasing but also functionally valuable, significantly improving its overall economic benefits.
[0036] The present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, but it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed structure and technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the present invention.
[0037] Working principle:
[0038] The ice bench structure provided in this application is manufactured by first determining the size of the ice bench, then determining the number of ice blocks based on the size of the ice bench, and then embedding plexiglass reinforcing bars into the ice blocks by cutting them, which greatly improves the load-bearing capacity of the ice blocks to meet the functional requirements. The gaps around the embedded plexiglass reinforcing bars are filled with ice chips, and then ice water is poured to be flush with the surface of the ice blocks. Finally, it is frozen, thus completing the manufacture of a single ice bench module. The frozen ice bench surface is flipped over and placed on the ice bench legs, so that the plexiglass reinforcing bars are in a tensioned position, thereby assembling into a functional ice bench. The gaps between the ice bench surfaces are about 10mm, which are filled with ice chips and then ice water is poured to connect the different ice bench surfaces into a whole.
