Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical technology, specifically to rigid floats. Background Technology

[0002] As a key component of modern aquatic engineering technology, rigid buoys are crucial for ensuring the safety and efficiency of various water activities. From deep-sea exploration platforms to inland lake sightseeing docks, every technical indicator of a rigid buoy acts like a gear in a precision instrument, meshing together to form a stable support system.

[0003] In terms of material properties, rigid buoys typically utilize composite materials such as high-density polyethylene and reinforced fiberglass. These materials must not only meet stringent requirements for resistance to ultraviolet aging and have a service life of over 15 years in the intense sunlight environment of tropical seas, but also possess excellent corrosion resistance, able to withstand the erosion of complex media such as seawater salt spray and industrial wastewater. Taking offshore wind power projects as an example, the impact strength of the buoy's outer shell needs to reach 20 kJ / m². 2 Only with these conditions can they withstand the impact of giant waves during typhoon season.

[0004] In terms of structural design, the modular splicing technology of the rigid floating body is one of its core advantages. Standard floating body units are typically 1m×1m or 2m×2m in size, and can be quickly assembled using a mortise and tenon joint structure. A single worker can assemble two units within 30 minutes. This design not only significantly reduces the construction cycle but also provides high flexibility for later maintenance. When a unit is damaged, it does not need to be replaced entirely; only the damaged module needs to be replaced, reducing maintenance costs by more than 40%. The internal reinforcing rib layout is customized according to load-bearing requirements. The rib spacing of the lightweight floating body is 30cm, suitable for scenarios such as pedestrian walkways; while the rib spacing of the heavy-duty floating body is reduced to 15cm, and with the internal steel frame, it can support 50-ton engineering machinery.

[0005] Behind the performance parameters lies a deep adaptation to real-world application scenarios. The buoyancy reserve coefficient is a key indicator of safety. Generally, the buoyancy reserve coefficient for recreational docks is 1.5, meaning the actual buoyancy is 50% higher than the design load. For floats used as auxiliary facilities for offshore drilling platforms, this coefficient needs to be increased to over 2.0 to cope with the additional load under extreme weather conditions. Anti-capsulation stability is achieved through center of gravity control. The center of gravity height of the float is typically below one-third of its draft, and combined with anti-rollover fins at the bottom, it can maintain a horizontal deviation of no more than 3 degrees even in winds of force 8.

[0006] From basic buoyancy support to complex load-bearing requirements, rigid floating structures play an irreplaceable role in numerous fields due to their unique structural design and superior performance. In marine engineering, offshore platforms composed of giant floating structures can be used to build temporary helicopter landing pads, with their levelness error controlled within ±2mm / m to ensure safe helicopter take-off and landing. In inland waterway transportation, temporary piers composed of modular floating structures can automatically adjust their height according to water level changes, adapting to water level fluctuations within a 3-meter range.

[0007] It is not only an infrastructure in fields such as marine engineering and water transportation, but also widely used in leisure and entertainment and other special scenarios, bringing great convenience to people's lives and work. In tourist attractions, a water stage made of colorful floating structures can support a performance team of 30 people. Its surface anti-slip texture has a friction coefficient of 0.8, which can effectively prevent slipping even in wet conditions. In the field of emergency rescue, foldable rigid floating structures can be quickly unfolded into temporary bridges. A single set of floating structures can build a 3-meter-wide passage within 5 minutes to meet the passage needs of rescue vehicles.

[0008] A thorough understanding of the technical specifications of rigid buoys helps us better select and apply this technology, driving development and innovation in related fields. When port builders understand the wave frequency response characteristics of different buoys, they can optimize wharf layouts to reduce wave impact; when environmental engineering teams understand the recyclability of buoy materials, they can incorporate circular economy concepts into the design phase. With the development of new materials technologies, future rigid buoys may be equipped with photovoltaic panels to achieve energy self-sufficiency, or integrate sensors to monitor water quality parameters in real time. These innovations will all begin with a deep understanding and creative breakthroughs in existing technical specifications. Utility Model Content

[0009] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rigid float to solve the technical problems of the prior art.

[0010] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a rigid float, which includes:

[0011] Floating body body 1;

[0012] Base 2;

[0013] Multiple fastening and mounting mechanisms 3 are used to fix the float body 1 onto the base 2;

[0014] At least one upper guide mechanism 4 is used to guide the upper end of the float body 1 during the movement of the rigid float; the upper guide mechanism 4 is mounted on a corresponding fastening mounting mechanism 3.

[0015] At least one lower guide mechanism 5 is provided for guiding the lower end of the float body 1 during the movement of the rigid float; the lower guide mechanism 5 is installed in the base 2.

[0016] At least one mounting mechanism 6 is used to mount the object to be mounted on the floating body 1; the mounting mechanism 6 is mounted on the base 2;

[0017] Two end protection mechanisms 7 are used to protect the two ends of the float body 1 and prevent its ends from being hit by hard objects.

[0018] Furthermore, each of the fastening mounting mechanisms 3 includes:

[0019] An arc-shaped fastener 301 surrounds the outer surface of the float body 1;

[0020] Fastening mounting part 1 302 and fastening mounting part 2 303 are respectively fixedly installed on both sides of the upper surface of the base 2;

[0021] The two ends of the arc-shaped fastener 301 are fixedly connected to fastening mounting part 1 302 and fastening mounting part 2 303 respectively through locking parts.

[0022] Furthermore, the upper guide mechanism 4 includes:

[0023] At least two arc-shaped mounting pieces 401 are fixedly mounted on arc-shaped fasteners 301 and are parallel to each other;

[0024] The guide mount 402 is fixedly mounted at both ends in the middle of the two arc-shaped mounting pieces 401;

[0025] A set of longitudinal guide wheels 403 are fixedly installed on the guide mounting body 402, and their installation direction is consistent with the length direction of the float body 1;

[0026] A set of transverse guide wheels 404 are fixedly installed on the guide mounting body 402, and their installation direction is perpendicular to the longitudinal guide wheels 403;

[0027] The upper guide protection frame 405 is used to protect the outer surface of the upper guide mechanism 4 and prevent its end from being hit by hard objects; the upper guide protection frame 405 is fixedly installed on the arc-shaped mounting plate 401.

[0028] The external cable is located between a set of longitudinal guide wheels 403 and a set of transverse guide wheels 404, causing the float body 1 to move along the length of the cable.

[0029] Furthermore, each of the lower guide mechanisms 5 includes:

[0030] At least one lower guide shaft 501 is fixedly installed in the groove of the base 2;

[0031] The lower guide wheel 502 is mounted on the corresponding lower guide shaft 501;

[0032] The installation direction of the lower guide wheel 502 is perpendicular to the length direction of the float body 1.

[0033] Furthermore, the installation position of the mounting mechanism 6 corresponds to the installation position of the lower guide mechanism 5.

[0034] Furthermore, the mounting mechanism 6 includes:

[0035] At least two mounting plates 601 are fixedly mounted on the base 2;

[0036] The n-type mounting frame 602 has its two ends of its upper surface fixedly mounted on the corresponding mounting plate 601;

[0037] At least two pads 603 are fixedly installed on both ends of the n-type mounting frame 602. The pads 603 are used to support the rigid float when it is placed on the ground.

[0038] Furthermore, the end protection mechanism 7 includes: a transverse arc-shaped protection frame 701 and a longitudinal arc-shaped protection frame 702;

[0039] The transverse arc-shaped protective frame 701 and the longitudinal arc-shaped protective frame 702 are perpendicular to each other;

[0040] One end of the longitudinal arc-shaped protective frame 702 is fixedly installed on the arc-shaped fastener 301, and the other end is fixedly installed on the base 2;

[0041] Both ends of the transverse arc-shaped protective frame 701 are fixedly installed on the arc-shaped fastener 301.

[0042] In the above technical solution, the fastening installation mechanism 3 uses arc-shaped fasteners 301 to surround the float body 1 and rigidly connects with the fastening installation parts 302 and 303 on the base 2, forming a ring-shaped fixation of the float body, effectively resisting displacement caused by external forces such as water flow and waves. The upper and lower guide mechanisms 4 and 5 form bidirectional guide constraints from the upper and lower ends of the float, respectively. The longitudinal / lateral guide wheels 403 and 404 of the upper guide mechanism cooperate with the lower guide wheel 502 to ensure that the float moves accurately along a preset trajectory, such as a cable, avoiding tilting or jamming, which is especially suitable for complex aquatic environments.

[0043] By aligning the mounting mechanism 6 with the lower guide mechanism 5, the weight of the mounted equipment is evenly transmitted through the base 2, preventing structural deformation caused by excessive local stress. The transverse / longitudinal arc-shaped protective frames 701 and 702 of the end protection mechanism 7 are fixed to the base 2 by the arc-shaped fasteners 301, which not only strengthens the impact resistance of both ends of the float, but also reduces the additional load by "borrowing" the existing structure, thus improving the overall torsional and fatigue resistance of the float.

[0044] The end protection mechanism 7 forms a three-dimensional "cross" protection, the upper guide protection frame 405 protects the guide components, and the pad 603 of the mounting mechanism takes into account both support and buffering. The multiple protection design enables the float to adapt to lakes, oceans and other waters with a lot of debris, reducing damage caused by impact and friction and extending its service life.

[0045] The mounting mechanism 6, via the n-shaped frame 602, can stably mount monitoring instruments, tools, and other auxiliary equipment. The pad 603 provides support when the float is placed, eliminating the need for additional auxiliary structures and improving the equipment's portability. The rolling friction design of the upper and lower guide mechanisms, such as the guide wheel bearing structure, reduces movement resistance, allowing the float to move efficiently under cable guidance, making it suitable for dynamic scenarios such as water quality monitoring and underwater operations.

[0046] The installation of the guide mechanism 4 is achieved by using existing structures such as arc-shaped fasteners and bases. The guide mechanism 4 is installed on the fastening installation mechanism 3. The end protection mechanism 7 connects the arc-shaped fastener and the base, avoiding redundant design, reducing material consumption and overall weight while ensuring strength.

[0047] The use of detachable locking components, such as those in the fastening installation mechanism, and modular guide wheels and protective frames, facilitates future component replacement and maintenance, reducing maintenance time. Furthermore, the protective mechanism lowers the probability of damage to the float itself, indirectly reducing equipment replacement costs and improving long-term economic efficiency.

[0058] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0059] like Figures 1-7 As shown, a rigid float is constructed, comprising: a float body 1. Specifically, the float body 1, as the core load-bearing component of the entire device, is made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant rigid materials. Its shape is optimized for hydrodynamics, effectively resisting the impact of external forces such as water flow and waves, and reducing resistance during operation in water. It is suitable for various aquatic environments such as lakes and oceans. The base 2 serves as the supporting foundation for the float, typically made of heavy and stable materials such as reinforced concrete or heavy metal. During installation, it is firmly fixed to the foundation structure on the seabed or shore, providing a solid support platform for the float body 1 and preventing the overall stability from being affected by the float's swaying.

[0060] The rigid float includes: base 2.

[0061] The rigid float includes: multiple fastening and mounting mechanisms 3, which are used to fix the float body 1 on the base 2;

[0062] Furthermore, each of the fastening mounting mechanisms 3 includes:

[0063] An arc-shaped fastener 301 surrounds the outer surface of the float body 1;

[0064] Fastening mounting part 1 302 and fastening mounting part 2 303 are respectively fixedly installed on both sides of the upper surface of the base 2;

[0065] The two ends of the arc-shaped fastener 301 are fixedly connected to fastening mounting part 1 302 and fastening mounting part 2 303 respectively through locking parts.

[0066] Specifically, multiple fastening mechanisms 3 are evenly distributed between the float body 1 and the base 2, which is crucial to ensuring a firm connection between the two. Each fastening mechanism 3 includes an arc-shaped fastener 301, a first fastening component 302, and a second fastening component 303, which work together to form a stable locking structure. Among them, the arc-shaped fastener 301 is made of an alloy material with a certain degree of elasticity and strength, and its curvature precisely matches the curvature of the outer surface of the float body 1. During installation, it can tightly wrap around the outer surface of the float body 1, increasing the contact area with the float, thereby dispersing the pressure generated during locking and avoiding local damage to the float body 1.

[0067] Fastening mounting component 302 and fastening mounting component 303 serve as bridges connecting the base and the arc-shaped fastener. They are symmetrically installed on both sides of the upper surface of the base 2 through welding, bolting, or other methods. These two mounting components are machined from solid metal blocks, possessing extremely high structural strength and capable of withstanding the tensile and impact forces transmitted from the arc-shaped fastener. During installation, both ends of the arc-shaped fastener 301 extend to the corresponding connection positions of fastening mounting component 302 and fastening mounting component 303, respectively, and then a fixed connection is achieved using high-strength locking components (such as special bolts, nut combinations, or quick-locking clips).

[0068] The selection of locking components fully considers the reliability of the connection and the convenience of subsequent maintenance. Their surfaces are treated with rust prevention to withstand humid aquatic environments. When the locking components are tightened, the arc-shaped fasteners 301 generate a uniform tightening force, firmly pressing the float body 1 onto the base 2. Even in extreme weather conditions such as strong winds and large waves, this effectively prevents relative displacement between the float body 1 and the base 2, ensuring the stable operation of the entire rigid float system. Simultaneously, this distributed design of multiple fastening installation mechanisms 3 avoids damage caused by excessive stress on a single connection, significantly improving the service life and safety factor of the float.

[0069] The rigid float includes at least one upper guide mechanism 4, which guides the upper end of the float body 1 during movement. The upper guide mechanism 4 is mounted on a corresponding fastening mounting mechanism 3. Specifically, its core function is to provide real-time guidance to the upper end of the float body 1, ensuring that the float's movement trajectory remains controllable in various complex environments. Furthermore, the upper guide mechanism 4 is not installed independently but cleverly fixed to the corresponding fastening mounting mechanism 3. This design not only saves additional installation space but also enhances the reliability of the guidance process thanks to the stable foundation of the fastening mounting mechanism 3.

[0070] Furthermore, the upper guide mechanism 4 includes:

[0071] At least two arc-shaped mounting pieces 401 are fixedly mounted on arc-shaped fasteners 301 and are parallel to each other. Specifically, the arc-shaped mounting pieces 401, as key components connecting the upper guide mechanism 4 and the fastening mounting mechanism 3, adopt an arc-shaped design matching the curvature of the arc-shaped fasteners 301, and are fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the arc-shaped fasteners 301 by welding or high-strength bolts. Furthermore, these arc-shaped mounting pieces 401 are strictly kept parallel to each other. This parallel layout provides a stable reference surface for the installation of subsequent components, ensuring the accurate installation angle of the guide wheels. Typically, the arc-shaped mounting pieces 401 are made of a high-strength alloy with a similar material to the arc-shaped fasteners 301 to ensure the compatibility of the connection and the durability of the overall structure.

[0072] The guide mount 402 is fixedly installed at both ends in the middle of the two arc-shaped mounting pieces 401. Specifically, the guide mount 402 is the core load-bearing structure of the upper guide mechanism 4. Its two ends are firmly fixed to the middle position of the two arc-shaped mounting pieces 401 by bolts or welding, forming a stable beam spanning above the float body 1. The cross-section of the guide mount 402 is usually designed to be rectangular or I-shaped. This structure can reduce its own weight while providing sufficient bending and torsional strength to withstand various stresses generated by the guide wheel during operation.

[0073] A set of longitudinal guide wheels 403 are fixedly mounted on the guide mounting body 402, and their installation direction is consistent with the length direction of the float body 1. Specifically, a set of longitudinal guide wheels 403 are neatly arranged and fixedly mounted on the guide mounting body 402, and their installation direction is completely consistent with the length direction of the float body 1. These longitudinal guide wheels 403 are made of high-strength polymer materials or high-wear-resistant metals with excellent wear resistance, and the wheel surface is smoothed to effectively reduce frictional resistance with external cables. The main function of the longitudinal guide wheels 403 is to limit the displacement of the float in the longitudinal direction, ensuring that the float does not deviate from the preset longitudinal trajectory due to water flow impact or other external forces when moving along the cable.

[0074] A set of transverse guide wheels 404 are fixedly mounted on the guide mounting body 402, and their mounting direction is perpendicular to that of the longitudinal guide wheels 403. Specifically, a set of transverse guide wheels 404 cooperates with the longitudinal guide wheels 403; they are also fixedly mounted on the guide mounting body 402, but their mounting direction is perpendicular to that of the longitudinal guide wheels 403. The material and structural characteristics of the transverse guide wheels 404 are similar to those of the longitudinal guide wheels 403. Their function is to limit the swaying of the float in the transverse direction, prevent the float from deviating left or right during movement, and further improve the accuracy of guidance.

[0075] The upper guide protection frame 405 is used to protect the outer surface of the upper guide mechanism 4 and prevent its end from being hit by hard objects; the upper guide protection frame 405 is fixedly installed on the arc-shaped mounting plate 401.

[0076] The external cable is located between a set of longitudinal guide wheels 403 and a set of transverse guide wheels 404, causing the float body 1 to move along the length of the cable.

[0077] Specifically, during actual operation, the external cable will be positioned precisely between a set of longitudinal guide wheels 403 and a set of transverse guide wheels 404, forming a "cross-shaped" limiting space. This design allows the cable to both guide the movement of the float body 1 and, through the dual constraints of the longitudinal and transverse guide wheels, ensure that the float can only move smoothly along the length of the cable, effectively preventing the float from tilting or getting stuck in complex aquatic environments.

[0078] To protect the upper guide mechanism 4 from impacts by hard objects, especially underwater reefs and floating debris that may be encountered during the movement of the buoy, the upper guide mechanism 4 is also equipped with an upper guide protection frame 405. This frame is made of high-strength steel and has a "door" or "frame" shape, and is bolted to the end of the arc-shaped mounting plate 401. The height and width of the upper guide protection frame 405 are precisely calculated to completely cover the end areas of the guide wheel and guide mounting body 402. When encountering an impact from a hard object, the frame will absorb the impact force first, effectively protecting the internal guide wheel and connecting components, and extending the service life of the upper guide mechanism 4.

[0079] Furthermore, both the longitudinal guide wheel 403 and the transverse guide wheel 404 employ rotatable bearing structures. The clearance between the wheel and the shaft is precisely adjusted to ensure flexible wheel rotation while preventing swaying caused by excessive clearance. This design ensures that the guide wheel and the cable maintain rolling friction as the float moves along the cable, significantly reducing wear between them and also reducing the driving force required for float movement, thus improving the overall system efficiency.

[0080] The rigid float includes at least one lower guide mechanism 5, which guides the lower end of the float body 1 during movement. The lower guide mechanism 5 is installed within the base 2. Specifically, to ensure stable guidance of the entire rigid float during movement, in addition to the upper guide mechanism 4, the rigid float also has at least one lower guide mechanism 5, specifically designed to guide the lower end of the float body 1 during movement. The lower guide mechanism 5 is installed within the base 2 and works in conjunction with the upper guide mechanism 4 to form an all-around guiding constraint on the float body 1.

[0081] Furthermore, each of the lower guide mechanisms 5 includes:

[0082] At least one lower guide shaft 501 is fixedly installed in a groove in the base 2. Specifically, the lower guide shaft 501 is the basic component of the lower guide mechanism 5, and it is firmly fixed in the groove of the base 2. The groove on the base 2 is specifically designed for installing the lower guide shaft 501, and its dimensions match the specifications of the lower guide shaft 501 to ensure that the lower guide shaft 501 will not loosen or shift after installation. The lower guide shaft 501 is usually made of high-strength alloy material, which has excellent compressive and bending resistance, and can withstand various forces transmitted by the lower guide wheel 502 during operation, providing stable support for the lower guide wheel 502.

[0083] The lower guide wheel 502 is mounted on the corresponding lower guide shaft 501. Specifically, the lower guide wheel 502 is mounted on the corresponding lower guide shaft 501 and can rotate flexibly around the lower guide shaft 501. The material selection of the lower guide wheel 502 is similar to that of the guide wheel in the upper guide mechanism, mostly using wear-resistant and impact-resistant materials, such as high-strength nylon or metal, and the surface of the wheel body is finely machined to ensure its smooth rotation.

[0084] Of particular importance is that the installation direction of the lower guide wheel 502 is perpendicular to the length direction of the float body 1. This installation direction ensures that when the lower guide wheel 502 contacts the relevant components, it can effectively guide and limit movement in the direction perpendicular to the movement of the float body 1. When the float body 1 moves along the length of the cable, the lower guide wheel 502 can limit the swaying of the float body 1 in the lateral direction. In conjunction with the lateral guide wheel 404 in the upper guide mechanism 4, it further enhances the stability of the float during movement, prevents the lower end of the float body 1 from deviating, and ensures that the entire float can move smoothly and accurately along the preset trajectory.

[0085] Furthermore, the lower guide wheel 502 and the lower guide shaft 501 have a high fitting precision, and the gap between them is strictly controlled. This ensures that the lower guide wheel 502 can rotate freely, reducing frictional resistance, while also preventing wobbling caused by excessive gaps, thus guaranteeing the accuracy of guidance. Moreover, since the lower guide mechanism 5 is installed inside the base 2, the base 2 itself has a certain protective function, reducing the direct impact and corrosion of the external environment on the lower guide shaft 501 and the lower guide wheel 502, and extending the service life of the lower guide mechanism 5.

[0086] Multiple lower guide mechanisms 5 can be evenly distributed within the base 2 based on factors such as the length and weight of the float body 1, ensuring that all parts of the lower end of the float body 1 receive uniform guiding force, further improving the stability and reliability of the float's movement. The upper and lower guide mechanisms work together to comprehensively ensure the precise guidance of the rigid float during movement, enabling it to adapt to more complex working environments.

[0087] The installation direction of the lower guide wheel 502 is perpendicular to the length direction of the float body 1.

[0088] Furthermore, the installation position of the mounting mechanism 6 corresponds to the installation position of the lower guide mechanism 5.

[0089] Specifically, the mounting mechanism 6, as a key structure on the rigid float used to mount various auxiliary equipment (such as monitoring instruments, working tools, etc.), corresponds with the installation position of the lower guide mechanism 5, which can make the weight distribution of the auxiliary equipment more reasonable and avoid the float body 1 from being unbalanced due to improper mounting position, thus affecting the guiding effect of the lower guide mechanism 5.

[0090] During the movement of the rigid float, the lower guide mechanism 5 guides the lower end of the float body 1, ensuring it moves along a preset trajectory. Meanwhile, the equipment mounted on the mounting mechanism 6 at the corresponding installation position can operate more stably as the float moves. Because the stable guidance of the lower guide mechanism 5 provides a smooth foundation for the movement of the mounting mechanism 6, it reduces the impact on the equipment caused by the float's swaying. At the same time, the mounting mechanism 6 does not interfere with the normal operation of the lower guide mechanism 5. The two work together to improve the overall working efficiency and stability of the rigid float.

[0091] The rigid float includes at least one mounting mechanism 6 for mounting objects onto the float body 1; the mounting mechanism 6 is mounted on a base 2; specifically, to achieve stable support of the objects to be mounted, the rigid float is equipped with at least one mounting mechanism 6, whose core function is to reliably mount various objects (such as equipment boxes, tool bags, monitoring devices, etc.) onto the float body 1, and the mounting mechanism 6 is directly mounted on the base 2, corresponding to the installation position of the lower guide mechanism 5, forming a dual synergy of structure and function.

[0092] Furthermore, the mounting mechanism 6 includes:

[0093] At least two mounting plates 601 are fixedly installed on the base 2. Specifically, the mounting plates 601, which serve as a bridge connecting the mounting mechanism 6 and the base 2, are made of high-strength metal sheets and are fixedly installed in preset positions on the base 2 by welding or bolting. These mounting plates 601 not only provide a stable mounting foundation for subsequent components, but their flat surfaces also ensure the installation accuracy of the n-type mounting frame 602, preventing the center of gravity of the mounted object from shifting due to tilting of the mounting surface. Since the installation position corresponds to the lower guide mechanism 5, the mounting plates 601 can distribute the load with the help of the reinforcement structure of the base 2 in this area (such as thickened base, reinforcing ribs, etc.), further improving the connection strength.

[0094] The n-shaped mounting frame 602 has its upper surface ends fixedly mounted on corresponding mounting plates 601. Specifically, the n-shaped mounting frame 602 is the core load-bearing component of the mounting mechanism 6. It is made of one-piece molded metal profile bent into an "n" shape, possessing excellent bending and deformation resistance. Its upper ends are fixedly connected to the corresponding mounting plates 601 by bolts, forming a transverse load-bearing space. The object to be mounted can be fixed to the inside of the frame using ropes, clips, or special clamps. The "n"-shaped structural design not only increases the mounting space but also provides a certain degree of restraint on the mounted object from both sides, preventing the object from swaying left and right during the movement of the float. Simultaneously, because the n-shaped mounting frame 602 is installed in the position corresponding to the lower guide mechanism 5, when the float is stably guided by the lower guide wheel 502, the object carried by the frame can move smoothly and synchronously with the float, reducing the additional load caused by swaying.

[0095] At least two pads 603 are fixedly installed at both ends of the n-type mounting frame 602. These pads 603 serve to support the rigid float when it is placed on the ground. Specifically, the pads 603, as auxiliary support components of the mounting mechanism 6, are made of high-hardness, wear-resistant rubber or polymer materials and are fixedly installed at the bottom of both ends of the n-type mounting frame 602. The height of these pads 603 is precisely calculated so that when the rigid float needs to be temporarily placed on the ground, the pads 603 will be in direct contact with the ground, bearing the responsibility of supporting the entire rigid float. This design cleverly utilizes the structural strength of the n-type mounting frame 602, preventing the base 2 or lower guide mechanism 5 from directly colliding with the ground and causing wear. Simultaneously, the rubber pads also provide cushioning and shock absorption, reducing the impact force during placement. Furthermore, the installation position of the pads 603 corresponds to the lower guide mechanism 5, ensuring that the support point of the float during placement is close to the stress area of ​​the lower guide wheel 502, guaranteeing the overall stability of the float in the placed state and preventing it from tipping over.

[0096] Meanwhile, the correspondence between the mounting mechanism 6 and the lower guide mechanism 5 demonstrates significant advantages in actual operation: when the float moves along the trajectory via the lower guide wheel 502, the mounted object on the n-shaped mounting frame 602 remains within the stable movement range constrained by the lower guide mechanism 5, preventing collisions caused by lateral displacement of the float; and the connection area between the mounting plate 601 and the base 2, coinciding with the reinforced base area where the lower guide shaft 501 is located, can share the load, improving the fatigue resistance of the overall structure. When supporting the float, the pad 603 also forms a coordinated force-bearing support with the lower guide mechanism 5, ensuring the safe placement of the float in its non-operating state.

[0097] The rigid float includes two end protection mechanisms 7, which protect the ends of the float body 1 from impacts by hard objects. Specifically, to further improve the impact resistance of the rigid float and ensure that the float body 1 is protected from end impact damage in complex aquatic environments, the rigid float is equipped with two end protection mechanisms 7, which are respectively installed at both ends of the float body 1. These mechanisms are specifically designed to protect the ends of the float body 1 from impacts by hard objects, adding a solid protective barrier to the core structure of the float.

[0098] Furthermore, the end protection mechanism 7 includes: a transverse arc-shaped protection frame 701 and a longitudinal arc-shaped protection frame 702;

[0099] The transverse arc-shaped protective frame 701 and the longitudinal arc-shaped protective frame 702 are perpendicular to each other;

[0100] One end of the longitudinal arc-shaped protective frame 702 is fixedly installed on the arc-shaped fastener 301, and the other end is fixedly installed on the base 2;

[0101] Both ends of the transverse arc-shaped protective frame 701 are fixedly installed on the arc-shaped fastener 301.

[0102] Specifically, the structural design of each end protection mechanism 7 takes into account both the protection range and connection stability. The core is composed of a horizontal arc-shaped protection frame 701 and a vertical arc-shaped protection frame 702, and the two are arranged in a spatial layout that is perpendicular to each other, forming a three-dimensional protection network.

[0103] The transverse arc-shaped protective frame 701 is made of high-strength alloy steel, and its arc curvature precisely matches the transverse cross-sectional arc of the end of the float body 1, allowing it to closely fit the transverse contour of the float end. The two ends of the protective frame are fixed to the corresponding positions of the arc-shaped fasteners 301 by welding or high-strength bolts. After installation, the entire frame spans the transverse direction of the end of the float body 1, acting like a "lintel"-like protective structure. This design effectively blocks impacts from hard objects in the transverse direction, such as stones or wooden stakes floating laterally in the water flow, or transverse collisions between the float and other objects during movement. When external force acts on the transverse arc-shaped protective frame 701, its arc structure evenly distributes the impact force to the arc-shaped fasteners 301 at both ends, and then transmits it to the base 2 through the fastening mechanism 3, preventing the impact force from directly acting on the end of the float body 1, thereby reducing the risk of local deformation or damage.

[0104] The longitudinal arc-shaped protective frame 702 is also made of high-strength alloy material. Its arc shape matches the longitudinal profile of the end of the float body 1, forming a longitudinal protective barrier. Unlike the transverse arc-shaped protective frame 701, the longitudinal arc-shaped protective frame 702 adopts a "through-type" installation method: one end is fixed to the arc-shaped fastener 301 by bolts, and the other end extends to the base 2 and is firmly connected to it (usually by welding or pre-embedded bolts). This connection method not only enables the longitudinal arc-shaped protective frame 702 to resist longitudinal impact forces, such as the impact of floating objects downstream or the longitudinal contact between the end of the float and shore facilities, but also enhances the structural correlation between the upper and lower ends of the float body 1 through its rigid connection with the arc-shaped fastener 301 and the base 2, thus helping to improve the torsional resistance of the entire float. When subjected to longitudinal force, the protective frame can directly transfer the load from the upper arc-shaped fastener 301 to the base 2, preventing damage to the end of the float body 1 due to excessive local stress.

[0105] The vertical arrangement of the transverse arc-shaped protective frame 701 and the longitudinal arc-shaped protective frame 702 forms a three-dimensional "cross-shaped" protective space at the end of the float body 1, completely covering the critical area at the end of the float. The advantage of this design is that regardless of whether a hard object impacts from the transverse, longitudinal, or oblique direction, it will first contact one or both protective frames, absorbing the impact energy through the structural strength of the frames. Furthermore, the arc-shaped design of both protective frames better disperses stress compared to right-angle structures, reducing the possibility of deformation due to impact and extending the service life of the protective mechanism.

[0106] Meanwhile, the installation of the end protection mechanism 7 is not independent of the existing structure, but cleverly relies on the arc-shaped fastener 301 and the base 2 for fixation. This "leveraging" design ensures the stability of the protection and avoids the risk of structural damage caused by additional openings or welding on the float body 1. At the same time, an appropriate gap is maintained between the protective frame and the end of the float body 1, which does not affect the normal movement and buoyancy performance of the float, and can provide a certain deformation buffer space for the protective frame in the event of an impact, further improving the protective effect.

[0107] Two end protection mechanisms 7 protect the two ends of the float body 1 respectively, and work together with the upper guide protection frame 405 to form a comprehensive protection system from the top and both ends of the float to the key guide components. This enables the rigid float to operate stably for a long time in lakes, oceans and other water environments with a lot of debris, and significantly reduces maintenance costs and failure probability caused by impact.
