[0023] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will understand that the embodiments described below are merely exemplary of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application in any way.

[0024] Figure 1 is a structural schematic view of a foundation framework assembled using the connecting pipe fitting according to an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 1 shown, the water-based foundation framework of the present application is composed of or spliced (e.g., welded or fastened) a plurality of connecting pipe fittings 1.

[0025] The shown connecting pipe 1 comprises an upper connecting end pipe 11, a lower connecting end pipe 12, a left connecting end pipe 13, a right connecting end pipe 14, a front connecting end pipe 15 and a rear connecting end pipe 16; these connecting end pipes jointly define a central communicating portion 10 and are arranged around the central communicating portion 10. Each connecting end pipe is provided with a reinforcing outer rib 17 between the central communicating portion 10 and the connecting end pipe.

[0026] The left connecting end pipe 13, the right connecting end pipe 14, the front connecting end pipe 15 and the rear connecting end pipe 16 are arranged in the same horizontal layer (intra-layer connecting end pipes). The upper connecting end pipe 11 and the lower connecting end pipe 12 are arranged perpendicular to the horizontal layer (inter-layer connecting end pipes) and are respectively used to connect the upper layer and the lower layer of connecting pipes.

[0027] Figure 2 A circular pipe structure for forming the connecting pipe of the present application is shown; Figure 3 is a sectional view of the pipe wall of such a circular pipe. The shown circular pipe 20 has four concentric pipe walls: an inner layer 21, two intermediate layers 22 and 23 and an outer layer 24. These concentric pipe walls are connected together by a plurality of radially connecting plates 25 which are uniformly distributed along the circumference. The pipe walls of adjacent layers and the adjacent radially connecting plates are interconnected by reinforcing rib plates 26, 27, 28. As Figure 3 More clearly shown, the pipe walls, the radially connecting plates and the reinforcing rib plates jointly define respective triangular cavities, thus making the connecting pipe have both high strength and light weight characteristics to be suitable for water-based facilities.

[0028] Figure 4 is a structural schematic view of a foundation framework assembled by connecting pipes according to another embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 The shown structure is similar to Figure 1 The shown structure, each connecting pipe 1' comprises, in addition to two inter-layer connecting end pipes 11' and 12', 3 intra-layer connecting end pipes 13', 14', 15 to form a honeycomb hexagonal structure in each layer.

[0029] In addition, in Figure 4 each connecting end pipe is in selective fluid communication with the central communicating portion through a sealing door (for example, the sealing door 18' provided in the connecting end pipe 11'). By opening / closing the respective sealing door, the amount of water stored in the connecting pipe 1' can be adjusted to adjust the buoyancy of the foundation framework composed thereof to adapt to the water depth of the facility in different occasions, etc.

[0030] Figure 5 is a variant of the embodiment shown in Figure 4 , in which each connecting end pipe is further formed with a connecting flange 19' to enable quick assembly between connecting pipes through respective fasteners.
