Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a novel pontoon structure. Background Technology

[0002] Floating structures are widely used in marine engineering, floating platforms, floating bridges, docks, and other fields. Their core function is to support the superstructure or equipment through buoyancy. Traditional floating structures often adopt an integral design, assembled through fixed connections or simple splicing. However, in actual use, since floating structures are not equipped with handrails or other structures, if handrails are needed, they can only be fixed by welding them onto the floating structure, which has problems such as high cost and easy damage to the floating structure.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to make further improvements. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned problems and provide a new type of pontoon structure, which has its own column for installing handrails.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a novel pontoon structure, which includes a pontoon body and a column. The pontoon body has a hollow interior and an installation port at its upper end. A cylindrical installation cavity is provided inside the pontoon body around the installation port. The inner wall of the cylindrical installation cavity is provided with an internal threaded connection structure. The column can extend into the cylindrical installation cavity through the installation port. The column is provided with an external threaded connection structure that mates with the internal threaded connection structure. The bottom of the cylindrical installation cavity is connected to the interior of the pontoon body. A vent hole is provided in the cylindrical installation cavity near the installation port.

[0006] In one or more embodiments, the cylindrical mounting cavity is disposed close to the inner wall of the pontoon body.

[0007] In one or more embodiments, the height of the cylindrical mounting cavity is at least half the height of the float body, the internal threaded connection structure is distributed upward along the inner bottom wall of the cylindrical mounting cavity, and the height of the internal threaded connection structure is at least half the height of the cylindrical mounting cavity.

[0008] In one or more embodiments, the column is provided with a through hole extending laterally, and a handle is inserted into the through hole.

[0009] In one or more embodiments, the handle includes an insertion part and a handle part, the insertion part is connected to a through hole, the handle part is disposed on one end of the insertion part, and the top of the column has a connecting cavity for accommodating the insertion part.

[0010] In one or more embodiments, the connecting cavity is provided with a first threaded section, the insertion part is provided with a second threaded section that mates with the first threaded section, and the surface of the handle part is provided with anti-slip ribs.

[0011] In one or more embodiments, the upper end face of the float body is evenly distributed with a plurality of anti-slip protrusions.

[0012] In one or more embodiments, the mounting port is provided with a removable rubber plug.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: the float body is provided with a column, which can be used to install handrails. Users can use the column to install the handrail structure as needed. If the handrail structure is not needed, the column can be removed. Attached Figure Description

[0014] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the pontoon body with the column installed in an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0015] To enhance understanding of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. These embodiments are only used to explain the present utility model and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0016] Please refer to the appendix. Figure 1 This application provides a novel pontoon structure, comprising a pontoon body 1 and a column 2. The pontoon body 1 has a hollow interior and an installation port at its upper end. A cylindrical installation cavity 3 is provided inside the pontoon body 1 around the installation port, and the inner wall of the cylindrical installation cavity 3 has an internal threaded connection structure. The column 2 can extend into the cylindrical installation cavity 3 through the installation port. The column 2 has an external threaded connection structure 4 that mates with the internal threaded connection structure. The bottom of the cylindrical installation cavity 3 communicates with the interior of the pontoon body 1. A vent hole 5 is provided in the cylindrical installation cavity 3 near the installation port. Users can install the column into the cylindrical installation cavity as needed. The installed column can be used to install handrails, facilitating the construction of handrails on the pontoon platform without damaging the pontoon structure. The installation port can be used to fill the pontoon body with water to control the buoyancy of the pontoon and improve the stability of the pontoon platform. Therefore, when water needs to be added, the pontoon body can be filled with water before installing the column.

[0017] The cylindrical mounting cavity 3 is set close to the inner wall of the pontoon body 1, and the installed column is also close to the side of the pontoon body to avoid affecting the normal use space of the pontoon body. Moreover, the cylindrical mounting cavity is set close to the inner wall to facilitate drainage.

[0018] The height of the cylindrical mounting cavity 3 is at least half the height of the float body 1. The internal threaded connection structure is distributed upward along the inner bottom wall of the cylindrical mounting cavity 3, and the height of the internal threaded connection structure is at least half the height of the cylindrical mounting cavity 3, so as to ensure that the column has sufficient connection space and ensure the stability of the column after installation.

[0019] The column 2 has a horizontal through hole 6, and a handle is inserted into the through hole. The user can easily rotate the column with the help of the handle, which facilitates the installation and disassembly of the column. Specifically, the handle includes an insertion part 7 and a handle part 8. The insertion part 7 is connected to the through hole 6, and the handle part 8 is located on one end of the insertion part 7. The top of the column 2 has a connecting cavity to accommodate the insertion part. After the column is installed, the insertion part can be inserted into the connecting cavity to house the handle.

[0020] The connecting cavity is provided with a first threaded section, the insertion part 7 is provided with a second threaded section 9 that mates with the first threaded section, and the surface of the handle part 8 is provided with anti-slip ribs. By rotating the handle part, the user can screw the insertion part into the connecting cavity, and with the help of the first threaded section and the second threaded section, the handle can be fixed in the connecting cavity, thus preventing the handle from being lost.

[0021] The upper surface of the pontoon body 1 is evenly distributed with multiple anti-slip protrusions 10. The anti-slip protrusions can increase friction and make it less likely for people to slip when walking on the pontoon.

[0022] For pontoons that do not require the installation of support columns, a removable rubber plug is provided at the installation port. The rubber plug can be inserted after the pontoon body is filled with water.

[0023] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model. The protection scope of the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Any equivalent modifications or changes made by those skilled in the art based on the content disclosed in the present utility model should be included within the protection scope recorded in the claims.
