[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0020] Example

[0021] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model proposes a modular ecological floating bed, comprising four interconnected floating plates 1. Each floating plate 1 has a planting trough 13 in its center, which is typically filled with a substrate suitable for plant growth, such as soil, coconut coir, vermiculite, etc. These substrates can provide nutrients, water, and air for the plants, meeting their basic growth needs. Each floating plate 1 has a connecting hole 11 at its right-angled end, and each connecting hole 11 has an insertion hole 12 inside. Each of the four connecting holes 11 has a circular connector 2 inside for connecting and fixing the floating plates 1.

[0022] Among them, such as Figures 2 to 5As shown, the outer wall of the circular connector 2 is equipped with a locking mechanism that automatically engages after insertion into the socket 12. The locking mechanism includes multiple elastic rods 4 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the circular connector 2, corresponding to the connection holes 11. The outer wall of the elastic rods 4 can be coated with lubricating oil to ensure smooth and effortless insertion into the socket 12. The elastic rods 4 are made of elastic rubber, which ensures that they can bend and deform under certain conditions to achieve the installation purpose. Each end of the elastic rod 4 inserted into the socket 12 has a rotating groove 41. The socket 12 has a locking hole 121 inside. A rotating block 42 that locks the locking hole 121 is rotatably connected inside the rotating groove 41. The rotating block 42 is made of stainless steel. A first spring 43 is provided inside the rotating groove 41. The first spring 43 ensures that the rotating block 42 will rotate and retract into the rotating groove 41 when it is not locked by the sliding block 44. One end of the first spring 43 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating groove 41, and the other end of the first spring 43 is fixedly connected to the rotating block 42. The inside of the elastic insert 4 is provided with a sliding block 44 that locks the rotating block 42. The end of the sliding block 44 near the rotating block 42 is set as a triangular structure, which is to ensure that it can be inserted into the gap between the rotating block 42 and the inner wall of the elastic insert 4.

[0023] In addition, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the circular connector 2 has a rotating mechanism with a manually rotated locking switch. This rotating mechanism includes a rotating groove 21 on the circular connector 2. A rubber pad is placed between the rotating groove 21 and the rotating block 3 to increase the seal between them, ensuring that water does not enter the rotating groove 21. The rotating groove 21 and multiple elastic inserts 4 are made of a single piece of neoprene rubber, which has good water resistance, weather resistance, and ozone resistance. It has good resistance to ultraviolet rays in sunlight, is not prone to aging or cracking due to prolonged exposure, and maintains good performance stability in water. The rotating block 3 is rotatably connected inside the rotating groove 21. Multiple pull ropes 33 are fixedly connected to one end of the rotating block 3 inserted into the rotating groove 21. The pull ropes 33 are made of polyester rope, which has excellent water resistance, is not easily corroded in water, and maintains good strength. Its sun resistance is also excellent, able to withstand prolonged sunlight exposure without significant performance degradation. Polyester rope also has good tensile strength and is not easily deformed, making it suitable for applications requiring stable tension and frequent exposure to water and sunlight, such as water rescue and outdoor drying. The rotating groove 21 has multiple pull holes 22 that communicate with the interior of the elastic rod 4. The pull rope 33 moves through the pull holes 22 and the elastic rod 4 in sequence before being fixedly connected to the corresponding sliding block 44.

[0024] It is worth noting that, such as Figure 5As shown, the rotating mechanism also includes a fixing plate 46 fixedly connected inside the elastic insert 4. The fixing plate 46 limits the sliding distance of the sliding block 44 in its direction, ensuring that the sliding block 44 does not slide excessively. The elastic insert 4 also has a second spring 45 movably connected to the pull rope 33. The second spring 45 causes the sliding block 44 to lock the rotating block 42 in its normal state, ensuring that it is disengaged from the rotating groove 41. One end of the second spring 45 is fixedly connected to the corresponding fixing plate 46, and the other end of the second spring 45 is fixedly connected to the corresponding sliding block 44.

[0025] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the end of the elastic plug 4 away from the circular connector 2 is set as a ball plug. The ball plug ensures that when one end of the elastic plug 4 is inserted into the socket 12, it is smooth and effortless.

[0026] Furthermore, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, a groove 31 is provided at the end of the rotating block 3 away from the pull hole 22. A handle 32 is fixedly connected inside the groove 31. The handle 32 is designed to make it convenient for the user to grip the rotating block 3 when rotating it, so as to apply force to open or close the operation, thereby improving the convenience and accuracy of operation.

[0027] In this embodiment, when a modular ecological floating bed is required, such as... Figure 1 As shown, first, a circular connector 2 is placed in the middle of multiple connecting holes 11, corresponding to the insertion hole 12 at the right angle end of the connecting hole 11. Then, the handle 32 is manually held and rotated. The handle 32 drives the rotating block 3 to rotate in the rotating groove 21, and the rotating block 3 drives multiple pull ropes 33 to rotate, so that the ends of the pull ropes 33 away from the rotating block 3 pull the sliding block 44 towards the fixed plate 46 until the sliding block 44 can no longer hold the rotating block 42. At this time, the rotating block 42 is pulled back completely into the rotating groove 41 by the elastic force of the first spring 43. Then, insert the elastic rod 4 onto the circular connector 2 into the socket 12 until the elastic rod 4 is fully inserted into the socket 12. At this point, the rotating groove 41 is located in the locking hole 121. Then release the handle 32. Immediately afterwards, the sliding blocks 44 inside the elastic rod 4 are pushed by the elastic force of the second spring 45, causing the sliding blocks 44 to press against the rotating locking block 42 and rotate out of the rotating groove 41. Figure 5As shown, at this time, one end of the rotating groove 41 from which the rotating block 42 disengages can tightly abut against the inner wall of the locking hole 121, thus preventing the elastic rod 4 from disengaging from the locking hole 12 and the locking hole 121. Multiple floats 1 can be quickly assembled in the same way. Moreover, during installation, after two floats 1 are assembled, if the circular connector 2 is not installed in a pair of connecting holes 11, the elastic deformation of the elastic rod 4 can forcefully insert the pair of elastic rods 4 on the circular connector 2 into the corresponding locking holes 12. Finally, through the elastic deformation of the elastic rod 4, the circular connector 2 is installed in a pair of connecting holes 11.

Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of this utility model, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize it.
