Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water platform technology, specifically to a connection structure for rapid assembly of water platforms and a water platform. Background Technology

[0002] Existing large or ultra-large floating platforms are enormous in size, resulting in high costs for construction, transportation, and daily maintenance. Furthermore, their monolithic structure makes them ill-suited to various complex and changing working conditions. To address this issue, existing technologies employ modular platforms, allowing for the assembly of platforms of any size to adapt to diverse and challenging environments. The connection structure between these modular platforms is crucial to their modular design. Traditional rigid connection methods, such as welding, suffer from drawbacks like long assembly / disassembly times and poor replaceability, failing to meet the demands for rapid disassembly and replacement. While flexible connection methods, such as hydraulic cylinders and electromagnetic chucks, meet the need for rapid assembly / disassembly, their connection strength is relatively weak, compromising safety and reliability in harsh marine environments.

The single connecting device includes a first connecting device disposed on the platform body and a second connecting device disposed on an adjacent platform body. (See also...) Figure 1 A third connecting device 1 is connected between the first connecting device and the second connecting device. The first connecting device and the second connecting device are respectively connected to the third connecting device 1 through a locking device 2.

[0034] Preferably, in this embodiment, both the first connecting device and the second connecting device include a connecting bracket 3, which is mirror-symmetrically arranged on the mating surfaces of two adjacent platform bodies.

[0035] See Figure 2 The connecting bracket 3 includes a bracket body 3.1, on which a guide groove 3.2 for connecting the third connecting device 1 is provided along the vertical direction; the upper end of the guide groove 3.2 is provided with a first connecting hole 3.3 for inserting the locking device 2.

[0036] The upper end of the bracket body 3.1 is provided with a locking device guide structure, which includes a guide plate 3.4. The guide plate 3.4 and the bracket body 3.1 form a cavity for accommodating the locking device 2. The cavity is coaxially arranged with the first connecting hole 3.3. A limiting groove 3.5 is provided between the end of the guide plate 3.4 and the guide groove 3.2. The limiting groove 3.5 is used to restrict the movement of the locking device 2. The guide plate 3.4 and the limiting groove 3.5 cooperate to guide and limit the locking device 2.

[0037] See Figure 3 In this embodiment, the third connecting device 1 includes a connecting block, which includes a connecting block body 1.1 and a connecting shaft 1.2. The connecting block body 1.1 is symmetrically arranged at both ends of the connecting shaft 1.2. The connecting block body 1.1 matches the guide groove 3.2. Preferably, the connecting shaft 1.2 has multiple shafts to meet the lateral bending strength requirements between the connecting block bodies 1.1.

[0038] See Figures 2 to 4 The connecting block body 1.1 has a second connecting hole 1.3 on its upper part. After the connecting block body 1.1 is assembled with the guide groove 3.2, the axes of the second connecting hole 1.3 and the first connecting hole 3.3 coincide. The guide groove 3.2 has a positioning plate 3.6 at its lower part, and the positioning plate 3.6 has a positioning hole, the axis of which is perpendicular to the axis of the second connecting hole 1.3. The connecting block body 1.1 has a positioning pin 1.4 at its lower part, and the positioning pin 1.4 matches the positioning hole.

[0039] In this embodiment, the locking device 2 includes a locking shaft 2.1, which is inserted into the first connecting hole 3.3 and the second connecting hole 1.3 to achieve a locking connection between the connecting block body 1.1 and the bracket body 3.1.

[0041] In this embodiment, see Figure 5 A limiting block 2.2 is provided on the side of the locking shaft 2.1 near the top. The limiting block 2.2 matches the limiting groove 3.5. The limiting block 2.2 is set to limit the locking shaft 2.1 to prevent the locking shaft 2.1 from coming out of the connecting hole after the locking function is achieved.

[0042] In this embodiment, preferably, the connecting device unit is provided in multiple groups, and each group of connecting device units includes two connecting brackets 3, two locking shafts 2.1 and a connecting block.

[0043] In practical use, the connecting bracket 3 is arranged symmetrically on the mating surfaces of two adjacent platform bodies 4. After the two adjacent platform bodies 4 are initially aligned, the third connecting device 1 is inserted into the guide groove 3.2. The connecting block body 1.1 cooperates with the guide groove 3.2, and the positioning pin 1.4 cooperates with the positioning hole to complete the docking of the connecting block body 1.1 and the connecting bracket 3. At this time, the axes of the first connecting hole 3.3 and the second connecting hole 1.3 coincide. The locking shaft 2.1 is inserted into the first connecting hole 3.3 and the second connecting hole 1.3 under the guidance of the guide plate 3.4 to realize the locking connection between the connecting block body 1.1 and the connecting bracket 3. At this time, the limiting block 2.2 on the locking shaft 2.1 is rotated into the limiting groove 3.5 to realize the movement limitation of the locking shaft 2.1.

Through the embedded structure, the structural strength of the connection area between the connected platform bodies can be further improved, and the stability can be improved. Specifically, the connecting bracket 3 is arranged symmetrically on the docking surface of two adjacent platform bodies 4. The connecting bracket 3 is embedded in the inner side of the platform outer plate and connected to the frame of the platform body 4. Preferably, the top of the connecting bracket 3 coincides with the platform deck plane.
