Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pontoon and floating platform technology, and in particular to a modular pontoon and floating platform. Background Technology
[0002] The pontoons, manufactured using a blow molding process, float on water and possess excellent weather resistance and impact resistance. They are also resistant to ultraviolet radiation, freezing, and corrosion from seawater chemicals and oil stains. They automatically rise and fall with the tides and are widely used in the construction of floating bridges, floating docks, and other floating platform projects.
[0003] Modern floating platforms are typically composed of square pontoons of the same size, which together form a flat platform. However, when operating on water, it is often necessary to moor boats. A flat platform makes it difficult to accurately moor boats. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical solution adopted by one embodiment of this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a modular pontoon platform, including several assembled first pontoons, second pontoons and connecting bolts;
[0006] The first and second pontoons are provided with multiple connecting lugs on their periphery; the connecting lugs can overlap each other, and each connecting lug is provided with a connecting hole; the connecting bolt can pass through the connecting holes of the multiple connecting lugs;
[0007] The top surface of the first pontoon is a flat top surface structure; the top surface of the second pontoon is a concave structure, and the concave structures of multiple second pontoons are connected to form a long strip-shaped guide groove.
[0008] Optionally, the main bodies of the first and second pontoons are arranged in a square structure; the connecting lugs are provided on the four side edges of the first and second pontoons.
[0009] Optionally, the first and second floats are provided with arc-shaped clearance portions above the connecting lugs, and four adjacent clearance portions can form a spherical recess; the head of the connecting bolt can be inserted into the spherical recess.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The modular pontoon platform of this utility model significantly improves the functionality and applicability of the platform through the differentiated design and flexible assembly method of the first and second pontoons. The guide groove, formed by the continuous splicing of the "V"-shaped concave structure at the top of the second pontoon, provides a physical guidance path for vessel berthing, effectively solving the problem of difficult positioning of traditional planar pontoons, reducing the risk of vessel deviation or collision, and improving berthing efficiency and safety. The connecting lugs overlap and are locked with connecting bolts to form a three-dimensional anchoring node, greatly improving the overall surge resistance and torsional resistance of the platform. At the same time, the "V"-shaped groove design also has a drainage and flow guiding function, reducing the impact of water accumulation on the stability of the platform.

[0024] Example
[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention proposes a modular pontoon platform, comprising several assembled first pontoons 10, second pontoons 20 and connecting bolts 30;
[0026] The first float 10 and the second float 20 are provided with multiple connecting lugs 40 on their periphery; the connecting lugs 40 can overlap each other, and the connecting lugs 40 are provided with connecting holes 41; the connecting bolts 30 can pass through the connecting holes 41 of the multiple connecting lugs 40.
[0027] The top surface of the first pontoon 10 is a flat top surface structure; the top surface of the second pontoon 20 is a concave structure 21, and the concave structures 21 of multiple second pontoons 20 are connected to form a long strip-shaped guide groove.
[0028] In this invention, the modular pontoon platform significantly enhances the functionality and applicability of the platform through the differentiated design and flexible assembly method of the first pontoon 10 and the second pontoon 20. The guide groove, formed by the continuous splicing of the "V"-shaped concave structure 21 at the top of the second pontoon 20, provides a physical guidance path for vessel berthing, effectively solving the problem of difficult positioning of traditional planar pontoons, reducing the risk of vessel deviation or collision, and improving berthing efficiency and safety. The connecting lugs 40 overlap and are locked in place with the connecting bolts 30, forming a three-dimensional anchoring node, greatly improving the overall surge resistance and torsional resistance of the platform. Simultaneously, the "V"-shaped groove design also serves a drainage and flow guiding function, reducing the impact of accumulated water on the stability of the platform.
[0029] In this embodiment, the main bodies of the first pontoon 10 and the second pontoon 20 are arranged in a square structure; connecting lugs 40 are disposed on the four side edges of the first pontoon 10 and the second pontoon 20. The square pontoon design, combined with the connecting lugs 40 evenly distributed on the side edges, supports rapid multi-directional expansion and assembly, adapting to the construction needs of different shaped floating platforms (such as L-shaped, T-shaped, etc.); the connecting lugs 40 are disposed on the side edges to avoid direct force on the main body of the pontoon, disperse the stress at the connection points, and reduce the risk of corner collision damage.
[0030] Furthermore, the first float 10 and the second float 20 are provided with arc-shaped clearance portions 51 above the connecting lug 40, and four adjacent clearance portions can form a spherical recess 50; the head of the connecting bolt 30 can be inserted into the spherical recess 50. The arc-shaped clearance portions 51 combine to form the spherical recess 50, so that the head of the connecting bolt 30 is embedded therein, avoiding the risk of hooking caused by the bolt head being exposed, and improving the flatness of the floating platform surface and personnel safety.
[0031] In this embodiment, the first buoy 10 and the second buoy 20 are provided with overflow holes 60. The overflow holes 60 allow water to partially enter the bottom cavity of the buoy, and when impacted by waves, the weight of the water counteracts part of the buoyancy fluctuations, thereby improving the anti-capsulation stability of the floating platform.
[0032] In this embodiment, the top surface of the first pontoon 10 is provided with an anti-slip protrusion 11; the concave structure 21 of the second pontoon 20 is provided with anti-slip ribs 22 along the direction of the guide groove. The anti-slip protrusion 11 of the first pontoon 10 increases the friction of the platform, while the anti-slip ribs 22 in the guide groove of the second pontoon 20 are optimized for wet and slippery environments to prevent the hull from slipping on the contact surface with the platform. This dual design improves the safety factor.
[0033] In this embodiment, the recessed structure 21 is in the shape of a "V", "U", or inverted trapezoid. The "V" shaped channel is suitable for sharp hulls, the "U" shaped channel is compatible with wide-bodied boats, and the inverted trapezoidal channel combines guidance and rapid drainage. The channel shape can be selected to meet the different berthing needs of different ships.
[0034] Of course, this utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of this utility model. All such equivalent modifications and substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
