[0033] like Figure 1-4 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment proposes an ecological floating island device for river management, including a plurality of floating plates 10 and a limiting component 20 (this embodiment takes two limiting components 20 as an example). The floating plate 10 has a cultivation trough 30 for placing cultivation baskets. One end of the floating plate 10 is provided with a locking part 11 along a first direction, and the other end is provided with a connecting part 12 that is locked with the locking part 11. The limiting component 20 includes a locking rod 21 and an adjusting member connected to the locking rod 21. The floating plate 10 is provided with an installation cavity for installing the adjusting member. The locking rod 21 is located in the installation cavity and passes through the locking part 11. The connecting part 12 is provided with a locking groove 121 corresponding to the locking rod 21. When the adjusting member moves along the first direction, it drives the locking rod 21 to move along the second direction to lock with the locking groove 121 or separate from it. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0034] In this embodiment of the invention, during use, the snap-fit ​​portion 11 of one float 10 is inserted into the corresponding connecting portion 12 of another float 10, allowing them to initially engage. At this point, the locking rod 21 has not yet entered the locking groove 121. Next, the adjusting member is operated to slide along the first direction of the float 10, causing the locking rod 21 located in the mounting cavity to move along the second direction (i.e., the axial direction of the locking rod 21). Driven by the adjusting member, the locking rod 21 passes through the snap-fit ​​portion 11 and inserts into the locking groove 121 on the connecting portion 12, completing the limiting and locking of the connection between the two floats 10, preventing loosening or separation during use. Multiple floats 10 are connected sequentially according to the above steps to form an integrated ecological floating island platform structure as needed. Simultaneously, cultivation troughs 30 on the floats 10 can be equipped with cultivation baskets for hydroponically cultivating aquatic plants, thereby achieving ecological restoration. When it is necessary to replace or maintain a certain float plate 10, simply reverse the operation of the adjusting component to disengage the locking rod 21 from the locking groove 121, thereby releasing the connection between the float plates 10. The locking and unlocking operation between the float plates 10 can be completed without the use of additional tools, effectively improving work efficiency.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 2-3As shown in this embodiment of the present invention, the adjusting member includes a driving block 22 slidably disposed in the mounting cavity along a first direction, a pressing block 23 disposed in the driving block 22, and an adjusting rod 24 rotatably disposed in the mounting cavity; a pushing block 25 is provided at one end of the locking rod 21 located in the mounting cavity, the pushing block 25 abuts against the pressing block 23, and a spring 26 is sleeved on the outer side of the locking rod 21, the two ends of the spring 26 being respectively connected to the pushing block 25 and the inner wall of the mounting cavity; wherein, the adjusting rod 24 is used to drive the driving block 22 to move along the first direction (i.e., the axial direction of the adjusting rod 24), so as to drive the pushing block 25 to move along the second direction through the pressing block 23, so as to drive the locking rod 21 to engage with or separate from the locking groove 121. Specifically, the adjusting rod 24 is provided with a threaded part, and the driving block 22 is threadedly connected to the threaded part.

[0036] When the connected floats 10 are installed, rotating the adjusting rod 24 causes the driving block 22 to slide axially. The driving block 22 then pushes the pressing block 23 mounted on it, causing the pressing block 23 to move in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. This pressing block 23 contacts the pushing block 25 on the locking rod 21 and applies force, causing the locking rod 21 to move axially and insert into the locking groove 121 of the connecting part 12. This achieves mechanical locking between the floats 10, preventing them from loosening under the action of water flow and ensuring the stability of the floating island structure. When it is necessary to disassemble or adjust the floats 10, rotating the adjusting rod 24 in the opposite direction causes the driving block 22 to retract. At this time, the pressing block 23 loses its thrust, and the compressed spring 26 releases its elasticity, pushing the locking rod 21 back. The locking rod 21 disengages from the locking groove 121, and the floats 10 return to a detachable state.

[0037] Specifically, both the squeezing block 23 and the pushing block 25 are wedge-shaped blocks, and they are mirror images of each other. When the adjusting rod 24 rotates and drives the driving block 22 to move along the first direction, the driving block 22 pushes the wedge-shaped squeezing block 23 forward along the first direction. At this time, the inclined surface of the wedge-shaped squeezing block 23 contacts the mirror image of the pushing block 25, converting the force in its sliding direction into the force of the pushing block 25 moving outward along the second direction. Subsequently, the pushing block 25 drives the locking rod 21 to insert into the locking groove 121, thereby completing the locking between the floats 10. When the adjusting rod 24 is operated in the opposite direction, the squeezing block 23 pushes the pushing block 25 back along the inclined surface under the action of the spring 26. At this time, the locking rod 21 exits the locking groove 121, thereby unlocking. Secondly, in order to prevent the pushing block 25 from moving below the driving block 22 and getting stuck, a limiting groove 13 is provided in the mounting cavity, and a limiting block 27 is provided on one side of the driving block 22. The limiting block 27 is slidably connected to the limiting groove 13. By using the guiding function of the limiting block 27 in the limiting groove 13, the movement trajectory of the driving block 22 can be effectively restricted, so that it always slides in a straight line along the predetermined first direction, thereby preventing the pushing block 25 from sliding under the driving block 22 due to misalignment.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, to facilitate operation of the adjusting rod 24, in this embodiment of the invention, one end of the adjusting rod 24 is provided with an adjusting block 28, and the adjusting block 28 is provided with an adjusting groove. This adjusting groove allows an operating tool to be inserted to rotate and adjust the adjusting rod 24. For example, the end of an Allen wrench can be inserted into the adjusting groove to rotate the adjusting rod 24, thereby driving the driving block 22 to slide, achieving locking or unlocking operations, and improving the convenience and accuracy of the adjustment process. Furthermore, to ensure the flatness of the structure at the end of the latching part 11 of the float plate 10, facilitating tight splicing between float plates 10, one end of the float plate 10 is recessed inward to form a groove. The adjusting block 28 is located within this groove. By embedding the adjusting block 28 within the groove, the adjusting block 28 does not protrude from the surface of the float plate 10, keeping its overall outer contour flush. This not only improves the flatness of the float plate 10's appearance but also prevents the adjusting block 28 from interfering with adjacent float plates 10 during splicing, which is beneficial for the tight assembly and stable connection of the device.

[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 1As shown, to achieve rapid alignment and stable connection between the floats 10, in this embodiment of the invention, the snap-fit ​​part 11 is provided with a positioning block 111, and the connecting part 12 is provided with a positioning groove 122. The positioning block 111 is slidably snapped into the positioning groove 122. Under the action of the positioning block 111 and the positioning groove 122, when the connecting part 12 and the snap-fit ​​part 11 are initially inserted, the cooperation between the positioning block 111 and the positioning groove 122 can play a guiding and pre-positioning role, which facilitates accurate docking between the two floats 10. Moreover, one end of the positioning groove 122 is provided with a stop block 123 for limiting the snap-fit ​​part 11. When the snap-fit ​​part 11 is inserted into the connecting part 12 to the fully installed state, the positioning block 111 contacts the stop block 123, thereby forming an effective limit to prevent over-insertion or misalignment. At the same time, after the connecting part 12 and the snap-fit ​​part 11 are fully installed, the positioning block 111 abuts against the stop block 123 to ensure that the locking rod 21 is fully aligned with the locking groove 121, which facilitates snap-fit.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
