Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of floating guardrail technology, and in particular to a solar-powered floating guardrail for water. Background Technology
[0002] Floating guardrails, as aquatic safety protection facilities, are widely used in the protection and management of lakes, rivers, and coastlines. Their main function is to prevent people or objects from accidentally falling into the water, ensuring the safety of aquatic activities. At the same time, floating guardrails also serve to isolate, guide, and beautify the aquatic environment. With the increasing popularity of water sports and recreational activities, the demand for floating guardrails is gradually increasing. However, existing floating guardrails have some technical problems in their design and installation, affecting their effectiveness.
[0003] First, existing floating guardrails have poor adjustability and applicability. The design of these guardrails needs to be flexible to adapt to various changes in different aquatic environments, wave conditions, and usage requirements. However, the fixed structure of traditional guardrails limits their applicability and makes it difficult to meet diverse needs.
[0004] In addition, the connection between guardrails is also a particularly prominent issue. The accurate control of the connection angle is crucial to the stability and aesthetics of the guardrail. However, existing connection methods usually lack an effective adjustment mechanism, making it difficult to precisely control the angle when connecting the guardrails. This affects the plasticity of the overall structure. This situation not only affects the appearance of the guardrails, but may also reduce the service life and safety of the guardrails under the action of waves and water flow. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies where the connection methods between guardrails often lack effective adjustment mechanisms, making it difficult to precisely control the angle of the guardrail during connection. This affects the plasticity of the overall structure, which not only affects the appearance of the guardrail but may also reduce its service life and safety under the influence of waves and water flow. This invention provides a floating solar-powered guardrail that uses a "locking control structure" at the connection point of each individual float, consisting of mating protrusions and grooves. Because the mating protrusions and grooves are arranged in a circular array, the angle of adjacent individual floats can be adjusted according to actual needs during connection. The engagement of the mating protrusions and grooves locks the angle of the adjacent individual floats. Therefore, when arranging the entire floating guardrail, each guardrail can adjust its connection angle according to the site layout requirements, thus enhancing the overall shaping capability of the entire floating guardrail.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] This utility model discloses a solar-powered floating railing, comprising a railing composed of several single floating bodies connected end to end. Adjacent single floating bodies are detachably connected by a connecting component. A solar-powered night light is provided above each single floating body. Each single floating body has a first connecting end and a second connecting end at its two ends. The area below the first connecting end and the area above the second connecting end both have a hollow structure, so that when two adjacent single floating bodies are connected, the first connecting end on one single floating body can be engaged with the second connecting end on the other single floating body. The first connecting end and the second connecting end have through holes that can overlap each other, and the connecting component is inserted into the through holes.
[0008] The lower surface of the first connecting end has a plurality of mating grooves arranged in a ring array at the edge of the through hole, and the upper surface of the second connecting end has a plurality of mating protrusions arranged in a ring array at the edge of the through hole. The mating protrusions can engage in the mating grooves. When the mating protrusions are engaged in the mating grooves, the first connecting end and the second connecting end are locked. When the mating protrusions are separated from the mating grooves, the first connecting end and the second connecting end are unlocked.
[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: the connecting assembly includes a screw and a nut A, wherein after the screw passes through the through hole, the nut A is sleeved on the front end of the screw to realize the connection of the single float.
[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: the connecting assembly also includes a buckle sleeve, which is sleeved on the screw and located below the nut A. It cooperates with the nut A to fasten the single float. One end of the screw is provided with an end head. Both the side of the end head that contacts the single float and the side of the buckle sleeve that contacts the single float are provided with buckle teeth arranged in a ring array. Both ends of the single float on the through hole are provided with buckle tooth grooves that can engage with the buckle teeth. Therefore, when the screw and nut A are used to fasten the single float, the buckle teeth on the end head and the buckle sleeve can respectively engage in the buckle tooth grooves at both ends of the through hole, so as to ensure the stability of the connecting assembly when connected.
[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: A buoyancy booster is detachably installed below the single float. Two studs are symmetrically installed at the bottom of the single float. The buoyancy booster has a threaded hole at the corresponding position of the stud. The two studs are inserted into the threaded hole and fixedly connected by nut B. In this way, the buoyancy booster can significantly improve the floating effect of the float railing.
[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution: A traction and reset mechanism is detachably installed below the buoyancy booster. The traction and reset mechanism includes a chain, a connecting plate, and an anchor. The chain is connected to the bottom of the buoyancy booster, the connecting plate is connected to the bottom end of the chain, a ring is installed below the connecting plate, and the anchor is fixed to the bottom of the water body and located below the position of the single buoy. A pull rope is connected above the anchor, and the other end of the pull rope passes through the ring and is connected to a sinker. This structural arrangement allows the single buoy to be pulled and moved when the buoy guardrail is subjected to waves or other external forces. When the waves or other external forces on the buoy guardrail disappear, the single buoy can gradually float and reset to the position above the anchor through the traction of the sinker.
[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution: each of the above-mentioned buoyant cylinders has two hanging chains below it, and the two hanging chains are symmetrically distributed. This allows the connecting plate connected to the hanging chain to be in the center position of the single buoy, thereby facilitating the traction and reset mechanism to move the single buoy directly above the anchor when traction is performed.
[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution: the upper end of the hanging chain is connected to a connector, which is screwed into the threaded hole from top to bottom. Therefore, the connector can be removed by rotation, so that the hanging chain and the buoyancy cylinder can be separated, thereby allowing the single buoy to be disassembled and replaced independently.
[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution: the connector includes a threaded end and a chain ring connected to the bottom of the threaded end. The upper end of the hanging chain is hooked onto the chain ring. Therefore, when the hook is removed, the hanging chain can be separated from the buoyancy cylinder. At this time, rotating the threaded end can unscrew it from the threaded hole and remove it. At this time, the nut B in the threaded hole can be unscrewed to disassemble the buoyancy cylinder.
[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution: a baffle is provided in the middle of the connector, and a tool hole is provided on the connector below the baffle. The tool hole is opened radially along the connector and penetrates the connector. Therefore, when it is necessary to disassemble the connector, a straight connecting tool can be directly inserted into the tool hole, and then the tool can be used to assist in its rotation. The operation is convenient and labor-saving.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] This railing features solar-powered night lights above each individual float, making it more visible and easier to observe at night. The railing employs a modular structure, consisting of several individual floats connected end-to-end. Adjacent floats are detachably connected via connecting components, allowing the overall length to be adjusted for greater versatility. Furthermore, the railing incorporates a "locking control structure" at the connection points of the floats, consisting of mating protrusions and grooves. Because these protrusions and grooves are arranged in a circular array, the angle of adjacent floats can be adjusted as needed during connection. The engagement of the mating protrusions and grooves locks the angle between adjacent floats. Therefore, when arranging the entire floating railing, each float can adjust its connection angle according to the site layout, enhancing the overall shaping capability of the railing. Additionally, the engagement of the mating protrusions and grooves after adjustment further strengthens the stability of each individual float. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0027] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 7 This invention further illustrates the specific implementation of a floating solar-powered guardrail, overcoming the shortcomings of existing guardrails which typically lack effective adjustment mechanisms for connection, making it difficult to precisely control the angle during connection and thus affecting the overall structural flexibility. This not only impacts the appearance of the guardrail but may also reduce its lifespan and safety under the influence of waves and currents. This new guardrail utilizes a "locking control structure" at the connection points of individual floats, consisting of mating protrusions and grooves. Because the mating protrusions and grooves are arranged in a circular array, the angles of adjacent floats can be adjusted according to actual needs during connection. The engagement of the mating protrusions and grooves locks the angles of the adjacent floats. Therefore, when arranging the entire floating guardrail, each guardrail can adjust its connection angle according to the site layout, resulting in a stronger overall shaping capability for the entire floating guardrail. This invention is not limited to the description of the following embodiments.
[0028] Example 1:
[0029] This embodiment provides a floating solar-powered guardrail for water, such as... Figures 1-7 As shown, the guardrail is composed of several single floating bodies 1 connected end to end. Two adjacent single floating bodies 1 are detachably connected by a connecting component 5. A solar night light 15 is provided on the top of the single floating body 1. The two ends of the single floating body 1 are respectively equipped with a first connecting end 10 and a second connecting end 11. The lower area of the first connecting end 10 and the upper area of the second connecting end 11 are both hollowed out, so that when two adjacent single floating bodies 1 are connected, the first connecting end 10 on one single floating body 1 can be engaged with the second connecting end 11 on the other single floating body 1. The first connecting end 10 and the second connecting end 11 are provided with through holes 12 that can overlap each other, and the connecting component 5 is inserted into the through hole 12.
[0030] The lower surface of the first connecting end 10 is provided with a plurality of mating grooves 100 arranged in a ring array at the edge of the through hole 12, and the upper surface of the second connecting end 11 is provided with a plurality of mating protrusions 110 arranged in a ring array at the edge of the through hole 12. The mating protrusions 110 can be engaged in the mating grooves 100. When the mating protrusions 110 are engaged in the mating grooves 100, the first connecting end 10 and the second connecting end 11 are locked. When the mating protrusions 110 are separated from the mating grooves 100, the first connecting end 10 and the second connecting end 11 are unlocked.
[0031] Based on this, firstly, the guardrail is equipped with solar-powered night lights 15 above each single float 1, making it more visible and easier to observe at night. Secondly, the guardrail adopts a modular structure, consisting of several single floats 1 connected end to end, and adjacent single floats 1 are detachably connected by connecting components 5. Therefore, the overall length of the guardrail can be adjusted according to actual needs, making it more versatile. Finally, the guardrail incorporates a "locking control structure" at the connection points of the single floats 1, namely, a mating protrusion 110 and a mating groove 100. The 10 and the docking tooth groove 100 are arranged in a ring array. Therefore, when two adjacent single floats 1 are connected, the angle of the two adjacent single floats 1 can be adjusted according to actual needs. The angle of the two adjacent single floats 1 can be locked by the engagement of the docking protrusion 110 and the docking tooth groove 100. Therefore, when arranging the entire floating guardrail, each guardrail can adjust its own connection angle according to the site layout needs, thereby making the overall shaping ability of the entire floating guardrail stronger. After adjustment, the stability of each single float 1 is stronger by the engagement of the docking protrusion 110 and the docking tooth groove 100.
[0032] Specifically, such as Figures 3-5 As shown, in order to connect adjacent single floats 1, in this embodiment, the connecting component 5 includes a screw 52 and a nut A51. After the screw 52 passes through the through hole 12, the nut A51 is sleeved on the front end of the screw 52 to realize the connection of the single floats 1.
[0033] Specifically, such as Figures 3-5 As shown, in order to improve the stability of the connection component 5 during connection and thus ensure the stability of the single float 1 assembly, in this embodiment, the connection component 5 also includes a buckle 50, which is sleeved on the screw 52 and located below the nut A51. It works with the nut A51 to fasten the single float 1. One end of the screw 52 is provided with an end head 520. Both the side of the end head 520 that contacts the single float 1 and the side of the buckle 50 that contacts the single float 1 are provided with buckle teeth 521 arranged in a ring array. Both ends of the single float 1 located at the through hole 12 are provided with buckle tooth grooves 120 that can engage with the buckle teeth 521. Therefore, when the screw 52 and the nut A51 are used to fasten the single float 1, the buckle teeth 521 on the end head 520 and the buckle 50 can engage in the buckle tooth grooves 120 at both ends of the through hole 12, thus improving the stability of the connection component 5 during connection.
[0034] Example 2:
[0035] This embodiment provides a floating solar-powered guardrail for water, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in order to improve the floating effect of the floating guardrail, in this embodiment, based on embodiment 1, a float-enhancing cylinder 3 is detachably installed below the single float 1. Two studs 13 are symmetrically installed at the bottom of the single float 1. The float-enhancing cylinder 3 has threaded holes 30 at the corresponding positions of the studs 13. The two studs 13 are inserted into the threaded holes 30 and fixedly connected by nuts B14. In this way, the floating effect of the floating guardrail can be significantly improved by the float-enhancing cylinder 3.
[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in order to enable the floating guardrail to automatically reset when the waves or other external forces disappear after being displaced during use, a traction reset mechanism 2 is detachably installed below the buoy 3 in this embodiment. The traction reset mechanism 2 includes a chain 20, a connecting plate 21, and an anchor 25. The chain 20 is connected to the bottom of the buoy 3, the connecting plate 21 is connected to the bottom end of the chain 20, a ring 22 is installed below the connecting plate 21, and the anchor 25 is fixed to the bottom of the water body and located below the position of the single float 1. A pull rope 24 is connected above the anchor 25, and the other end of the pull rope 24 passes through the ring 22 and is connected to a weight 23. This structure allows the single float 1 to be pulled and moved when the floating guardrail is subjected to waves or other external forces. When the waves or other external forces on the floating guardrail disappear, the single float 1 can gradually float and reset to the position above the anchor 25 through the traction of the weight 23.
[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in order to improve the stability of the single float 1, in this embodiment, two hanging chains 20 are provided below each float cylinder 3, and the two hanging chains 20 are symmetrically distributed. This allows the connecting plate 21 connected to the hanging chain 20 to be in the center position of the single float 1, thereby facilitating the traction reset mechanism 2 to move the single float 1 to directly above the anchor 25 when traction.
[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in order to ensure that the single float 1 can be disassembled and replaced independently, in this embodiment, the upper end of the hanging chain 20 is connected to the connector 4. The connector 4 is screwed into the threaded hole 30 from top to bottom. Therefore, the connector 4 can be removed by rotation, so that the hanging chain 20 and the float cylinder 3 can be separated, thereby enabling the single float 1 to be disassembled and replaced independently.
[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 ,Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in order to ensure that the hanging chain 20 can be separated from the buoyancy cylinder 3 and that the buoyancy cylinder 3 can be disassembled, in this embodiment, the connecting member 4 includes a threaded end 40 and a chain-passing ring 43 connected to the bottom of the threaded end 40. The upper end of the hanging chain 20 is hooked onto the chain-passing ring 43 by a hook. Therefore, when the hook is removed, the hanging chain 20 can be separated from the buoyancy cylinder 3. At this time, rotating the threaded end 40 can unscrew it from the threaded hole 30 and remove it. At this time, the nut B14 in the threaded hole 30 can be unscrewed to disassemble the buoyancy cylinder 3. It should be noted that the connection between the connecting member 4 and the buoyancy cylinder 3 is also achieved through the threaded hole 30, which can reduce the complexity of the structure of the buoyancy cylinder 3 and facilitate production.
[0040] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 5 Figure 6 Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 5 Figure 6 As shown, in order to facilitate the disassembly of the connector 4, in this embodiment, a baffle 41 is provided in the middle of the connector 4, and a tool hole 42 is provided on the connector 4 below the baffle 41. The tool hole 42 is opened radially along the connector 4 and passes through the connector 4. Therefore, when it is necessary to disassemble the connector 4, a direct connecting tool (such as a screwdriver or a rod-shaped tool) can be directly inserted into the tool hole 42, and then the tool can be used to assist in its rotation. The operation is convenient and labor-saving.
