[0029] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] This application discloses a modular, fast-response, adjustable buoyancy oil boom. (See also...) Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the modular, fast-response, adjustable buoyancy oil boom includes a buoyancy module 1 and a connector 2. The buoyancy module 1 and the connector 2 are connected to each other in sequence. The buoyancy module 1 includes a buoyancy box assembly 11 and a positioning seat 12. The positioning seat 12 is installed on the lower end face of the buoyancy box assembly 11 and is fixedly connected to the buoyancy box assembly 11. A buoyancy-adding component 3 is also installed on the outer side of the buoyancy box assembly 11. Both ends of the buoyancy-adding component 3 are fixedly connected to the positioning seat 12. A lower edge 4 is installed on the lower end face of the positioning seat 12 and is fixedly connected to the positioning seat 12. The connector 2 includes a buoyancy bag 21 and a connecting ring frame 22. The connecting ring frame 22 is installed on both sides of the buoyancy bag 21 and is sealed and fixedly connected to the buoyancy bag 21. By designing the oil boom as a structure where buoyancy modules 1 and connectors 2 work together, it is ensured that the buoyancy modules 1 can be connected to each other through the connectors 2 during use. This allows multiple buoyancy modules 1 to be connected together to form a long strip structure for containment. Furthermore, by designing the buoyancy module 1 as a structure where buoyancy box assembly 11 and positioning seat 12 work together, it is ensured that the buoyancy box assembly 11 can be placed on the water surface to provide buoyancy for the oil boom. The positioning seat 12, fixedly installed on the lower end of the buoyancy box assembly 11, lowers the overall center of gravity, increasing the stability of the buoyancy box assembly 11. Simultaneously, the positioning seat 12 ensures... A stable installation of the lower shield plate allows the lower shield 4 to be stably inserted below the water surface for shielding purposes during use. By installing buoyancy-enhancing components 3 on the outer surface of the buoyancy box assembly 11, an appropriate number of buoyancy-enhancing components 3 can be installed on the outer surface of the buoyancy box assembly 11 when buoyancy needs to be increased. In this way, the buoyancy-enhancing components 3 and the buoyancy box assembly 11 work together to provide buoyancy for the equipment. When a suspended load is fixedly installed on the lower shield 4, the corresponding buoyancy can be increased to ensure the stable use of the equipment. By designing the connector 2 as a structure in which the buoyancy bag 21 and the connecting ring frame 22 cooperate, it is ensured that the buoyancy bag 21 can be stably connected to both sides of the buoyancy box assembly 11 and the lower shield 4 through the connecting ring frames 22 at both ends during use.

[0031] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the buoyancy box assembly 11 includes a first float 111, a connecting bag 112, and a second float 113. The first float 111 and the second float 113 are installed at both ends of the connecting bag 112, and the first float 111, the connecting bag 112, and the second float 113 are sealed and fixedly connected. By designing the buoyancy box assembly 11 into a structure in which the first float 111, the connecting bag 112, and the second float 113 cooperate, buoyancy can be provided through the cooperation of the first float 111 and the second float 113 when in use. Moreover, the first float 111 and the second float 113 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the connecting bag 112, which ensures that balanced buoyancy can be provided at both ends during use. The arrangement of the connecting bag 112 ensures that a suitable bending angle can be provided between the first float 111 and the second float 113, making it easier to surround and use. The connecting bag 112 includes a bent top bag 101 and a waterproof flexible plate 102. The waterproof flexible plate 102 is installed on the lower end face of the bent top bag 101 and is sealed to the bent top bag 101. By designing the connecting bag 112 into a structure where the bent top bag 101 and the waterproof flexible plate 102 cooperate, the first float 111 and the second float 113 at both ends can be connected to each other through the bent top bag 101 when easy to use. By fixing the waterproof flexible plate 102 on the bent top bag 101, the lower edge 4 at the lower end can be connected to each other through the waterproof flexible plate 102, ensuring better separation from top to bottom. The positioning seat 12 includes a concave clamp 121 and an extension strip 122. The extension strip 122 is symmetrically installed on the lower end face of the concave clamp 121 and is fixedly connected to the concave clamp 121. By designing the positioning seat 12 into a structure in which a concave clamping plate 121 and an extension strip 122 cooperate, it is ensured that the lower edge 4 can be clamped and fixed by the concave clamping plate 121 during use. By fixing the extension strip 122 at the lower end of the concave clamping plate 121, it is convenient to use two sets of extension strips 122 to further clamp the lower edge 4 during use, thereby increasing the stability of the lower edge 4 during use.

[0032] Reference Figure 4As shown, the connecting ring frame 22 includes a ring seat 221, a positioning bend plate 222, and a magnetic suction belt 223. The positioning bend plate 222 is fixedly installed on the lower end face of the ring seat 221, and the magnetic suction belt 223 is disposed on the front end face of the positioning bend plate 222 and fixedly installed on the side of the buoyancy bag 21. The lower edge 4 is disposed between the magnetic suction belt 223 and the positioning bend plate 222, and the magnetic suction belt 223 is attracted and fixed to the positioning bend plate 222. By designing the connecting ring frame 22 into a structure in which the ring seat 221, the positioning bend plate 222, and the magnetic suction belt 223 cooperate, it can be easily connected to the float box through the ring seat 221 during use, while the positioning bend plate 222 and the magnetic suction belt 223 ensure that the lower edge 4 can be clamped during use, ensuring the stability of the lower edge 4 during use. An annular hook-and-loop fastener 224 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the ring seat 221, and an annular hook-and-loop fastener 114 that mates with the annular hook-and-loop fastener 224 is provided on the outer surface of the first float box 111 and the second float box 113. The arrangement of the annular hook-and-loop fastener 224 and the annular hook-and-loop fastener 114 makes the connection between the connector 2 and the buoyancy module 1 more convenient.

[0033] Reference Figure 5 As shown, the buoyancy assembly 3 includes an arc-shaped belt 31 and a connecting seat 32. The connecting seat 32 is installed at both ends of the arc-shaped belt 31 and is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped belt 31. By designing the buoyancy assembly 3 into a structure where the arc-shaped belt 31 and the connecting seat 32 cooperate, it is ensured that the arc-shaped belt 31 can be fixed through the connecting seats 32 at both ends during use. A strip-shaped Velcro 321 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the connecting seat 32, and strip-shaped Velcro females 123 are provided on both sides of the concave clamp 121 to cooperate with the strip-shaped Velcro 321. The strip-shaped Velcro females 123 are fixedly connected to the concave clamp 121. The arrangement of the strip-shaped Velcro 321 and the strip-shaped Velcro females 123 ensures that the connecting seat 32 and the concave clamp 121 can be quickly connected and easily disassembled when not in use.

[0034] The implementation principle of the modular fast-response adjustable buoyancy oil boom in this application embodiment is as follows: In actual use, the operator can quickly connect several buoyancy modules 1 through the connector 2. When connection is required, firstly, the buoyancy bag 21 on the connector 2 is pasted and fixed on both sides of the first float box 111 and the second float box 113. Then, the two sides of the lower edge 4 are placed between the positioning bend plate 222 and the magnetic suction belt 223. Finally, the magnetic suction belt 223 is used to attract the lower edge 4 to the positioning bend plate 222 to achieve stable clamping of the lower edge 4. After all the buoyancy modules 1 are connected, they can be placed and used directly. When it is necessary to suspend a load at the lower end of the lower edge 4, an appropriate number of buoyancy-adding components 3 can be installed on the float box to ensure that the equipment can float stably when in use.

[0035] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
