Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of column technology, and in particular to an HDPE column for a floating fishing and tourism platform. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards and the increase in demand for tourism and leisure, the integration of fisheries and tourism has become a new development direction. As an important carrier of this integration, floating fishing and tourism platforms are widely used in dynamic waters such as oceans and lakes. These platforms not only provide tourists with unique tourism experiences but also promote the coordinated development of local fisheries and tourism industries. However, the guardrail posts of floating fishing and tourism platforms in dynamic waters are subjected to complex conditions such as strong wind and wave impacts, pulsating water flow loads, and collisions with floating objects. The complex environment of dynamic waters places extremely high demands on the performance of the guardrail posts of floating fishing and tourism platforms.

[0003] Traditional floating platform columns generally employ a solid structure design. This design increases structural stability by increasing material usage; however, a solid structure also brings several drawbacks. First, the column's weight is significantly increased, which not only places a greater load on the platform's main body and increases the burden on the overall structure, but may also lead to the risk of overall structural instability, threatening the platform's safety. Second, due to the column's weight, special transportation equipment and methods are required during transport, increasing transportation difficulty and cost. Furthermore, installation also requires more manpower and resources, making installation more challenging.

[0004] To address the weight issue, some technical solutions employ hollow lightweight designs, such as steel-concrete composite columns or thin-walled metal tube structures. While these hollow structures reduce the column's weight to some extent, they also introduce new technical drawbacks. First, hollow structures are prone to stress concentration under lateral impact, leading to localized buckling deformation. Second, the corrosion resistance of metal materials is insufficient; in salt spray environments, metal columns are easily corroded, resulting in an average service life of less than 8 years, far below the platform's design lifespan. This not only increases the platform's maintenance costs but also affects its normal operation.

[0005] Furthermore, existing support columns have significant shortcomings in terms of functional integration. With the development of smart tourism, water-based fishing and tourism platforms need to integrate intelligent equipment such as environmental monitoring and landscape lighting to meet the diverse needs of tourists and improve the platform's intelligence level. However, traditional support column structures lack reserved space, requiring additional drilling or external mounting for equipment installation. This installation method not only compromises the structural integrity, affecting the strength and stability of the support columns, but also impacts the platform's aesthetic harmony.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of column structure that is lightweight, high-strength, weather-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and functionally integrated to meet the safe operation requirements of modern fishing and tourism platforms. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problems existing in the prior art and to propose an HDPE column for a waterborne fishing and tourism platform.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] An HDPE column for a floating fishing and tourism platform includes a column body, a non-insertion end and an insertion end disposed on one side of the non-insertion end. The non-insertion end has a cavity structure and is open on both its front and rear sides. The cavity of the non-insertion end is provided with a main handrail mounting structure, a reinforcing rib structure disposed on one side of the main handrail mounting structure, and an auxiliary handrail mounting structure disposed in the middle of the reinforcing rib structure.

[0010] Preferably, both the main handrail mounting structure and the auxiliary handrail mounting structure are in the shape of a cylindrical tube, and the through hole diameter of the main handrail mounting structure is larger than that of the auxiliary handrail mounting structure.

[0011] Preferably, the non-insertion end has an overall rectangular shape, and the main handrail mounting structure and reinforcing rib structure are arranged longitudinally within it.

[0012] Preferably, at least two sets of the main handrail mounting structure and the reinforcing rib structure are provided.

[0013] Preferably, the auxiliary handrail mounting structure abuts against the inner wall of the non-insertion end through a cross-shaped arrangement of reinforcing ribs.

[0014] Preferably, the reinforcing rib structure includes transverse reinforcing ribs connected to the left and right sides of the auxiliary handrail mounting structure, vertical reinforcing ribs connected to the upper and lower sides of the auxiliary handrail mounting structure, and inclined reinforcing ribs disposed between the transverse and vertical reinforcing ribs. The other end of the transverse and inclined reinforcing ribs abuts against the inner wall of the non-insertion end, and the other end of the vertical reinforcing rib abuts against the outer side of the adjacent main handrail mounting structure or the inner wall of the non-insertion end.

[0015] Preferably, the outer side of the insertion end has several barbed protrusions.

[0018] Preferably, the reinforcing rib structure is integrally formed with or bolted to the inner wall of the column body.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] This utility model designs the non-insertion end of the column as a cavity structure, which not only reduces the weight of the column, but also effectively reduces the force of wind and waves on the column, preventing the column from being damaged or deformed due to excessive wind and waves and concentrated stress. At the same time, the hollow shape makes the column more lightweight and can better blend with the surrounding natural water landscape, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the fishing and tourism platform.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0026] Reference Figs. 1-3 A type of HDPE column for a floating fishing and tourism platform includes a column body 1, a non-insertion end 3 and an insertion end 2 disposed on one side of the non-insertion end 3. The non-insertion end 3 has a hollow structure and is open on both its front and rear sides. The cavity of the non-insertion end 3 is provided with a main handrail mounting structure 4, a reinforcing rib structure 6 disposed on one side of the main handrail mounting structure 4, and an auxiliary handrail mounting structure 5 disposed in the middle of the reinforcing rib structure 6. The non-insertion end 3 has an overall rectangular design, and the main handrail mounting structure 4 and the reinforcing rib structure 6 are arranged longitudinally within it.

[0027] This application discloses an HDPE column for a floating fishing and tourism platform. The column body 1 is composed of a non-insertion end 3 and an insertion end 2. By designing the non-insertion end 3 of the column as a cavity structure with openings on the front and rear sides, the weight of the column is reduced, making it easier to transport and install. It can also effectively reduce the force of wind and waves on the column and prevent the column from being damaged or deformed due to excessive wind and waves and concentrated stress.

[0028] Meanwhile, within the cavity, the main handrail installation structure 4, the reinforcing rib structure 6, and the auxiliary handrail installation structure 5 are rationally arranged. The main handrail installation structure 4 provides stable support for the installation of the guardrail handrail, while the reinforcing rib structure 6 enhances the overall strength and stability of the column. The auxiliary handrail installation structure 5 can be selectively installed according to actual needs, further improving the stability and load-bearing capacity of the guardrail. The hollow design makes the column more lightweight and can better blend with the surrounding natural water landscape, thereby enhancing the overall aesthetics of the fishing and tourism platform. In actual use, LED landscape lights and environmental monitoring sensors can be embedded in the cavity to achieve seamless integration of smart fishing and tourism facilities.

[0029] In this embodiment, both the main handrail mounting structure 4 and the auxiliary handrail mounting structure 5 are cylindrical, and the through hole diameter of the main handrail mounting structure 4 is larger than that of the auxiliary handrail mounting structure 5.

[0030] In actual use, the auxiliary handrail installation structure 5 can be selectively installed according to actual needs. If handrails are installed in both the main handrail installation structure 4 and the auxiliary handrail installation structure 5, the overall stability and load-bearing capacity of the handrail can be improved, and it can better withstand external impacts.

[0031] As a preferred example of this application, the main handrail mounting structure 4 and the reinforcing rib structure 6 are provided in two sets, located on the upper and lower sides of the cavity at the non-insertion end 3, respectively. In the example of this application, both the main handrail mounting structure 4 and the reinforcing rib structure 6 are provided in two sets, located on the upper and lower sides of the cavity at the non-insertion end 3, respectively. This symmetrical layout helps to enhance the overall stability and load-bearing capacity of the column, enabling it to better withstand the impact of external forces such as wind and waves.

[0032] In this embodiment, the auxiliary handrail installation structure 5 abuts against the inner wall of the non-insertion end 3 through the interlaced reinforcing rib structure 6;

[0033] Specifically, the reinforcing rib structure 6 includes horizontal reinforcing ribs connected to the left and right sides of the auxiliary handrail mounting structure 5, vertical reinforcing ribs connected to the upper and lower sides of the auxiliary handrail mounting structure 5, and inclined reinforcing ribs disposed between the horizontal and vertical reinforcing ribs. The other end of the horizontal and inclined reinforcing ribs abuts against the inner wall of the non-insertion end 3, and the other end of the vertical reinforcing rib abuts against the outer side of the adjacent main handrail mounting structure 4 or the inner wall of the non-insertion end 3. The horizontal, vertical, and inclined reinforcing ribs are all plate-shaped.

[0034] Through the above structure, the reinforcing rib structure 6 can form a three-dimensional grid, simulating the support principle of biological skeleton, so that the handrail forms a self-stabilizing frame structure at the non-intercept end 3, effectively improving the torsional resistance.

[0035] When under stress, the reinforcing ribs distribute the concentrated load to multiple support points, effectively suppressing local deformation, making them suitable for scenarios that need to withstand strong wind impacts.

[0036] In addition, the longitudinal ribs can bear the main axial load, while the transverse ribs divert the transverse shear force. According to finite element analysis, this structure can increase the critical buckling load by 2-3 times compared to the unreinforced design. The micro-deformation space reserved in the staggered rib structure can absorb the thermal expansion and contraction of materials caused by the temperature difference between day and night, reducing the risk of cracking.

[0037] This setup optimizes the reinforcing rib structure 6 by radiating multiple ribs on the upper and lower sides of the main handrail mounting structure 4 and the outer periphery of the auxiliary handrail mounting structure 5. These ribs work in conjunction with the inner wall of the non-insertion end 3 to form a stable support system, thereby creating a self-stabilizing frame structure. This effectively improves the torsional resistance of the columns, enhances their overall stability, and provides a stronger guarantee for the safe operation of the waterborne fishing and tourism platform.

[0038] It should be noted that the reinforcing rib structure 6 can be connected to the auxiliary handrail mounting structure 5 or the main handrail mounting structure 4 by means of integral molding or bolt connection. Similarly, the reinforcing rib structure 6 can be connected to the inner wall of the column body 1 by means of integral molding or bolt connection. In the example of this application, the reinforcing rib structure 6 can be connected to the auxiliary handrail mounting structure 5 or the main handrail mounting structure 4 by means of integral molding, which allows for a tighter connection between the structures, forming a whole and enhancing the stability and strength of the structure; or it can be connected by bolts, which facilitates installation and disassembly, making maintenance or replacement of parts more convenient and quick. Similarly, the connection between the reinforcing rib structure 6 and the inner wall of the column body 1 also offers two options: integral molding and bolt connection. Integral molding ensures a seamless connection between the reinforcing rib and the inner wall of the column body, improving the overall structural rigidity; bolt connection allows for flexible adjustments during the production or installation of the column body, improving production efficiency.

[0039] In this embodiment, the outer side of the socket end 2 has several barbed protrusions 7, which facilitate the installation of the column body 1 and improve installation stability. Preferably, the socket end 2 has a hollow design, which further reduces the weight of the column.

[0040] In this embodiment, the main body 1 of the column is made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and has the following characteristics:

[0041] Corrosion resistant, suitable for humid environments;

[0042] Weather resistant, UV aging resistant, and long service life;

[0043] It has strong mechanical properties, a balance between rigidity and toughness, and is resistant to pressure and impact.

[0044] It is environmentally friendly, recyclable, meets environmental standards, and can be reused.

[0045] The HDPE column for the floating fishing and tourism platform disclosed in this application optimizes the overall structure of the column, transforming the traditional solid column into a hollow structure design. This effectively reduces the weight of the column while ensuring its overall stability, thereby reducing the load on the platform, lowering the difficulty of transportation and installation, and improving overall safety. The HDPE columns for floating fishing and tourism platforms described in this application utilize the openings at the non-interlocking ends (3) and the rational arrangement of the main handrail installation structure (4), auxiliary handrail installation structure (5), and reinforcing rib structure (6) within the cavity to form a self-stabilizing frame similar to the support principle of a biological skeleton. This not only disperses the concentrated stress generated by strong winds or impacts to multiple support points, significantly improving torsional and buckling resistance, but also forms a three-dimensional grid through the optimized plate structure of horizontal, vertical, and inclined reinforcing ribs. This effectively alleviates local deformation and absorbs the thermal expansion and contraction of materials caused by diurnal temperature differences, thereby reducing the risk of structural cracking. While ensuring the strength and stability of the columns, this design also allows for the provision of installation space for the integration of intelligent devices such as LED landscape lights and environmental monitoring sensors. This enables the fishing and tourism platform to enhance its overall aesthetics while meeting the needs of smart cultural tourism, thus providing a new type of column structure for floating fishing and tourism platforms that combines lightweight, high strength, weather resistance, corrosion resistance, and integrated intelligent functions.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
