The second connecting device 2 includes a first connecting part 2.1 disposed on the platform body 3 and a second connecting part 2.2 disposed on adjacent platform bodies 3. The first connecting part 2.1 and the second connecting part 2.2 are connected by a locking device 2.3.
[0029] Preferably, the first connecting part 2.1 includes a plurality of convex connecting structures disposed on the side of the platform body 3, and the second connecting part 2.2 includes concave connecting structures disposed on the side of adjacent platform bodies 3, wherein the outer contour dimensions of the convex connecting structures match the outer contour dimensions of the concave connecting structures.
[0030] It should be noted that the arrangement of the first connecting part 2.1 and the second connecting part 2.2 on the platform body 3 is not limited to the above description; see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 In this embodiment, the platform body 3 has convex connecting structures on both sides and the front side, and a concave connecting structure on the rear side. Correspondingly, adjacent platform bodies 3 have concave connecting structures on both sides and the rear side, and convex connecting structures on the front side.

The axes of the locking shaft 2.3.1, the guide rail 2.3.2, the locking cylinder 2.3.3, and the connecting hole 2.4 coincide.
[0039] The water platform connection structure provided by this utility model is simple in structure and easy to operate. By setting a first connecting device 1 and a second connecting device 2, it can realize a fast and reliable connection between modular water platforms.
[0040] In practical application, the mooring bollards and winches are installed on the deck plane of the platform body 3. The convex and concave connecting structures are installed on the side of the platform body 3. The locking device 2.3 is installed inside the platform body 3 at the position corresponding to the concave connecting structure.
