Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pavilions, and more specifically, to a floating pavilion for swans to roost in. Background Technology

[0002] Swans are a genus of large waterfowl belonging to the family Anatidae in the order Anseriformes. In the wild, they prefer to live in flocks in lakes and marshes. During the breeding season, they mainly inhabit open lakes, ponds, marshes, slow-flowing rivers, and adjacent tundra lowlands and tundra marshes. In winter, they mainly inhabit large lakes, reservoirs, ponds, and river bends with abundant reeds, cattails, and other aquatic plants. Sometimes they appear in wet grasslands, flooded plains, marshes, beaches, and estuaries, and sometimes even in farmland.

[0003] Within the scenic area, swans mainly inhabit the water surface and surrounding areas. Due to the large number of tourists, swans are hesitant to approach the shore to rest and tend to remain on the water for extended periods, hindering their ability to rest and forage on the shore. To address this issue, some scenic areas have constructed long corridors and fixed resting platforms for swans to rest near the shore. However, people still approach or enter these areas, causing swans to avoid these resting areas. Establishing movable resting and foraging areas on the water surface would effectively improve the swans' living environment, promote their growth, and enhance the scenic area's overall appeal. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a floating pavilion for swans to roost in, aiming to solve the problem that it is difficult to set up a flexible and repositionable roosting site for swans in the water area of ​​a scenic spot.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a water pavilion for swans to perch on, comprising an upper frame in the shape of a regular hexagon. Three parallel vertical beams are arranged on two opposite sides of the upper frame, and a horizontal beam intersects the three vertical beams. The three vertical beams, the horizontal beam, and the two sides of the upper frame form a four-compartment square mounting frame. Each vertical beam has a mounting point, and a pavilion column is vertically mounted at each mounting point. A pavilion roof is provided above the pavilion column, and the three pavilion columns position and fix the pavilion roof. A panel is also provided on the upper frame. Main buoyancy units are installed below the four-compartment square mounting frame. A lower frame is installed below, which is a regular hexagon and the same size as the upper frame. The lower frame has six vertices, and the vertices of the lower frame correspond one-to-one with the vertices of the upper frame. The vertices of the lower frame and the upper frame are connected by columns, so that the upper frame and the lower frame form a regular hexagonal prism frame. A right-angled tripod is installed on each column, and a mounting position is formed between every two adjacent right-angled tripods. Three secondary buoyancy units are arranged around the periphery of the regular hexagonal prism frame. The secondary buoyancy units are installed at intervals in the mounting positions. A sealing plate is set above the secondary buoyancy units and is fixedly installed on the hypotenuse of two right-angled tripods.

[0006] A further technical solution of this utility model is: the upper frame includes six vertices, namely the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth vertices. A vertical beam is provided between the first and fifth vertices, a vertical beam is provided between the second and fourth vertices, a vertical beam is provided between the midpoint of the line connecting the first and second vertices and the midpoint of the line connecting the fourth and fifth vertices, and a horizontal beam is provided between the third and sixth vertices, which improves the stability of the upper frame and facilitates the installation of pavilion columns.

[0007] A further technical solution of this utility model is: the main buoyancy unit includes a rectangular barrel frame, which is welded from square steel. An installation opening is provided at the lower front of the barrel frame, and a movable installation strip is provided at the installation opening. The two ends of the movable installation strip are respectively locked to the front of the barrel frame by screws to seal the opening. A main float is provided inside the barrel frame, and the main float is fixed to the barrel frame by a clamp; this facilitates the installation and disassembly of the main float.

[0008] A further technical solution of this utility model is: the auxiliary buoyancy unit includes an auxiliary float and two parallel legs. The length of the legs is set so that they can be placed inside two right-angled triangles. The two ends of the legs are fixedly connected to the right-angled triangles respectively. The auxiliary float is fixed to the legs by a clamp, which facilitates the installation and disassembly of the auxiliary float.

[0009] A further technical solution of this utility model is: the lower edge of the sealing plate has a downwardly extending sub-plate with an extension length of 10cm to 15cm, the tilt angle of the sub-plate is greater than the tilt angle of the sealing plate, and the lower edge of the sub-plate also has a horizontally outwardly extending sub-plate with an extension length of 15cm to 20cm; the sub-plate is submerged in water, and the sub-plate is partially submerged in water. After the sub-plate is submerged in water, if the sub-plate shakes up and down, it will generate buffer resistance, which can reduce the shaking amplitude of the entire pavilion and help improve the stability of the pavilion.

[0010] A further technical solution of this utility model is that the sealing plate is stepped, making it easier for swans to climb onto the pavilion.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the water pavilion for swans to roost in this utility model can be conveniently and flexibly set on the water surface, with good stability, making it convenient for swans to roost, and effectively improving the landscape effect of the park's water surface.

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] Example 1:

[0023] like Figures 1 to 8The illustrated waterside pavilion for swans includes an upper frame 1, which is hexagonal in shape. Three parallel vertical beams 101 are mounted on two opposite sides of the upper frame, and a horizontal beam 102 intersects the three vertical beams. The three vertical beams, the horizontal beam, and the two sides of the upper frame form a four-compartment square mounting frame. Each vertical beam has a mounting point with a mounting slot 103. A pavilion column 2 is vertically mounted on each mounting point. During installation, the lower end of the pavilion column is installed in the mounting slot and secured with screws. A pavilion roof 3 is mounted above the pavilion column. The pavilion roof is a regular triangular pyramid shape and includes a roof frame and a roof surface. The roof frame is made of metal, and a support beam is provided at the bottom of the roof frame. The three pavilion columns support the support beam. The supporting beams position and fix the pavilion roof. The pavilion columns should not be too high, with a height of 1.5m to 2m. After the pavilion roof is installed on the columns, it can effectively provide shade and rain protection. The upper frame is also equipped with a panel 4, on which a feeding trough 5 is installed. Workers can place food for the swans in the feeding trough. The panel includes six identical triangular plates, three of which have openings for the pavilion columns to pass through, facilitating the installation of the pavilion columns. The main buoyancy units 6 are installed below the four square mounting frames. Below the main buoyancy units, a lower frame 7 is installed. The lower frame is a regular hexagon, the same size as the upper frame, and includes six vertices. The six vertices of the lower frame are connected to the upper frame. The six vertices correspond one-to-one. The vertices of the lower frame are connected to the corresponding vertices of the upper frame through columns, forming a regular hexagonal prism frame. To improve the stability of the lower half of the regular hexagonal prism frame, horizontal and vertical beams can be added to the lower frame as needed. The horizontal and vertical beams are fixed with screws for easy installation and disassembly. Each column is equipped with a right-angled tripod 8. One right-angled side of the right-angled tripod is the same height as the regular hexagonal prism. This right-angled side is vertically fixed to the column, either by clamping or by drilling screw holes on the right-angled side and the corresponding column and fixing it with screws. The other right-angled side of the right-angled tripod extends horizontally towards the column. The outer side of the regular hexagonal prism extends, thus forming an installation position between every two adjacent right-angled tripods. Three auxiliary buoyancy units 9 are set around the periphery of the regular hexagonal prism frame, and the auxiliary buoyancy units are installed at intervals within the installation positions. After this arrangement, the auxiliary buoyancy units are evenly distributed around the periphery of the regular hexagonal prism frame formed by the upper and lower frames. A sealing plate 901 is set above the auxiliary buoyancy units. The sealing plate is fixedly installed on the hypotenuse of the two right-angled tripods. If the span between the two right-angled tripods is too large, a reinforcing beam can be added between the hypotenuses of the two right-angled tripods to improve the stability of the sealing plate. The sealing plate can be installed directly as a whole plate or by splicing multiple plates. The sealing plate can be made of wood, rubber, resin, etc.

[0024] Furthermore, the upper frame includes six vertices: first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth. A vertical beam is provided between the first and fifth vertices, and between the second and fourth vertices. A vertical beam is provided between the midpoint of the line connecting the first and second vertices and the midpoint of the line connecting the fourth and fifth vertices. A horizontal beam is provided between the third and sixth vertices, which improves the stability of the upper frame and facilitates the installation of pavilion columns.

[0025] Furthermore, the main buoyancy unit 6 includes a cuboid bucket frame welded from square steel. An installation opening is provided at the lower front of the bucket frame, and a movable installation strip 62 is provided at the installation opening. The two ends of the movable installation strip are respectively locked to the front of the bucket frame by screws 63 to seal the opening. A main float 61 is provided inside the bucket frame and is fixed to the bucket frame by a clamp; this facilitates the installation and disassembly of the main float.

[0026] Furthermore, the auxiliary buoyancy unit includes an auxiliary float and two parallel legs 91. The length of the legs is adapted to the spacing between two adjacent right-angled tripods, so that the legs can be installed inside the two right-angled tripods. The two ends of the legs are connected to the right-angled tripods. The auxiliary float is fixed to the legs by clamps, which facilitates the installation and disassembly of the auxiliary float.

[0027] Furthermore, the lower edge of the sealing plate 901 has a downwardly extending sub-plate 902 with an extension length of 10cm to 15cm. The tilt angle of the sub-plate is greater than that of the sealing plate. The lower edge of the sub-plate also has a horizontally extending sub-plate 903 with an extension length of 15cm to 20cm. When the sub-plate is submerged in water, the sub-plate is also partially submerged. When the sub-plate is submerged in water, if the sub-plate shakes up and down, it will generate buffer resistance, which can reduce the shaking amplitude of the entire pavilion, improve the stability of the pavilion, and at the same time make it easier for swans to climb onto the pavilion.

[0028] In addition, 2 to 3 chains are installed along the edge of the upper frame. One end of the chain is fixed to the edge of the upper frame, and a pin hole and pin are provided next to the chain fixing point. An anchor or counterweight is installed at the other end of the chain. After the anchor or counterweight is lowered into the water and reaches the bottom, the chain length is adjusted, and the chain is positioned and locked by passing the pin through the chain and inserting it into the pin hole, so that the pavilion can be moored on the water. When the water is shallow, only one chain needs to be lowered vertically to position the pavilion on the water. When the water is deep, all three chains are lowered. When lowering the chains, the chains need to be thrown outwards. After the anchor or counterweight sinks to the bottom, the chains are tightened. This can stably position the pavilion on the water and reduce the distance the pavilion drifts on the water.

[0029] Example 2:

[0030] This embodiment is basically the same as the previous embodiment, except that, as Figure 9As shown, the sealing plate is stepped, with the height of each step set to 5cm to 10cm, preferably 8cm, to facilitate swans climbing onto the pavilion.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
