[0026] First Embodiment

[0027] See Figure 1This utility model embodiment provides a float, including a float body 20, a float tip 10 disposed at the upper end of the float body 20, and a float foot 30 disposed at the lower end of the float body 20. The float foot 30 can be made of four materials: fiberglass, bamboo, carbon fiber, or steel. Its shape is an elongated cone or frustum. The cross-sectional diameter of the float foot 30 gradually decreases as it extends outward from the insertion section. The length of the float foot 30 is 5-40cm, and the diameter of the cross-section of the part of the float foot 30 inserted into the connecting tube 21 is 0.8-2.0cm. The float tip 10 is a portion marked with markings and plays an important role in transmitting fish bites. The dynamic changes of the float are determined based on the float tip 10 to observe fish bites and determine the timing for setting the hook. Here, the float tip 10 is cylindrical, with a length of 5-40cm, and the diameter of the cross-section of the part of the float tip 10 inserted into the connecting tube 21 is 0.8-2.0cm. The length of the float body 20 is 3-15cm.

[0028] In one embodiment, the float body 20 includes a main body and a connecting tube 21 fixed within the main body. Specifically, the float body 20 has a through hole along its axis, and the connecting tube 21 is fixed into the through hole using an adhesive, ensuring a firm fit between the connecting tube 21 and the main body. In another embodiment, both ends of the connecting tube 21 extend outwards and protrude from the main body. This allows the float foot 30 and float tail 10 to be inserted into the connecting tube 21 from their respective ends and detachably fixed within it, enabling free assembly of the float foot 30, float tail 10, and float body 20.

[0029] Specifically, see Figure 2 The connecting tubes 21 extend from both ends of the float body, forming a first extension and a second extension. The float foot 30 is inserted into the connecting tube 21 based on the first extension. When inserted, the float foot 30 passes through the first extension and continues to move towards the middle of the connecting tube 21 in the float body until it is fixed in the connecting tube 21 and insertion cannot continue. In one embodiment, the float tail 10 is inserted into the connecting tube 21 based on the second extension. When inserted, the float tail 10 passes through the second extension and continues to move towards the middle of the connecting tube 21 in the float body until it is fixed in the connecting tube 21 and insertion cannot continue. In one embodiment, considering that the first and second extensions are too short to achieve the tail-protecting function, and too long would increase the float's length and weight, affecting its sensitivity, the lengths of both the first and second extensions are set to 0.5–1 cm. Here, the lengths of the first and second extensions can be the same, or the length of the first extension can be longer than the second extension.

[0030] In one embodiment, the connecting pipe 21 can be made of steel pipe to achieve the explosion-proof top and bottom foot function of the connecting pipe 21. In one embodiment, the connecting pipe 21 is a hollow cylinder with a diameter of 0.8-2.1 cm and a wall thickness of 0.1-0.3 cm.

[0031] In one embodiment, the sum of the first length of the portion of the float foot 30 inserted into the connecting tube 21 and the second length of the portion of the float tail 10 inserted into the connecting tube 21 is less than the total length of the connecting tube 21. That is, after the float foot 30 and the float tail 10 are inserted into the connecting tube 21 and fixed thereto, the middle portion of the connecting tube 21 is hollow, except for the overlapping portions with the float foot 30 and the float tail 10, with no float foot 30 or float tail 10 inserted. Generally, the first length of the portion of the float foot 30 inserted into the connecting tube 21 is about 3 cm, and the second length of the portion of the float tail 10 inserted into the connecting tube 21 is about 2.5 cm.

[0032] Second embodiment,

[0033] Please refer to Figure 3 The difference between the float provided in the second embodiment of the present invention and the first embodiment is that, in this embodiment, the connecting tube 21 is provided with a plurality of mutually spaced fixing blocks 22. Thus, when the float foot 30 and / or float tail 10 are inserted into the connecting tube 21, the plurality of fixing blocks 22 lock the ends of the float foot 30 and / or float tail 10 for fixation. After the float foot 30 and / or float tail 10 are inserted into the connecting tube 21, these fixing blocks 22 can fit tightly against the ends of the float foot 30 and / or float tail 10, firmly locking them in place through friction or mechanical structure, ensuring the stability of the float foot 30 and float tail 10 during use, and also preventing the float foot 30 and float tail 10 from easily falling off or moving due to external forces.

[0034] In one embodiment, the fixing block 22 is formed inside the connecting pipe 21 based on the inward indentation of the outside of the connecting pipe 21. Here, multiple grooves can be formed by recessing downwards at intervals around a predetermined position on the connecting pipe 21. In this way, multiple intermittent protrusions are formed inside the steel pipe, which are defined as fixing blocks 22. Here, when setting multiple fixing blocks 22, the size, shape, number, position, etc. of the fixing blocks 22 can also be set according to the shape and size of the float foot 30 and / or float tail 10.

[0035] In one embodiment, since the lengths of the float foot 30 and the float tail 10 inserted into the connecting pipe 21 may be different, the distance between the positions of the multiple fixing blocks 22 corresponding to the float foot 30 and the float tail 10 and the connecting pipe 21 may also be different.

[0036] Third Embodiment

[0037] Please refer to Figure 4 The float provided in the third embodiment of the present invention differs from that in the first embodiment described above in that it has an annular fixing flange 23. In one embodiment, when the float foot 30 and / or float tail 10 are inserted into the connecting tube 21, the fixing flange 23 locks the outer wall into which the float foot 30 and / or float tail 10 are inserted. Specifically, after the float foot 30 and / or float tail 10 are inserted into the connecting tube 21, the float foot 30 and / or float tail 10 pass through the annular fixing flange 23, and the inner wall of the fixing flange 23 tightly adheres to the outer wall of the float foot 30 and / or float tail 10, forming a strong locking knot. This not only ensures the stability of the float foot 30 and float tail 10 during use, but also prevents the float foot 30 and / or float tail 10 from easily falling off or moving due to external forces. At the same time, the annular fixing flange 23 also provides a larger contact area, making the overall structure more robust and reliable.

[0038] In one embodiment, the fixing flange 23 is formed by recessing inward around the connecting tube 21 at a set position, creating a groove surrounding the connecting tube 21. Correspondingly, a protruding structure is formed inside the connecting tube 21, which is defined as the fixing flange 23. Here, when setting the fixing flange 23, the size and position of the fixing flange 23 can also be set according to the shape and size of the float foot 30 and / or float tail 10.

[0039] Fourth embodiment

[0040] Please refer to Figure 5 The float provided in the fourth embodiment of the present invention differs from that in the first embodiment described above in that, in this embodiment, the connecting tube 21 is provided with a plurality of mutually spaced fixing blocks 22 and an annular fixing flange 23, forming a multi-layered fixing structure. Here, these fixing blocks 22 are disposed on the inner side of the fixing flange 23, that is, the distance between the fixing blocks 22 and the port of the connecting tube 21 is greater than the distance between the fixing flange 23 and the port of the connecting tube 21. In one embodiment, when the float foot 30 and / or the float tail 10 are inserted into the connecting tube 21, they first pass through the annular fixing flange 23. The inner wall of this fixing flange 23 will tightly fit against the outer wall of the float foot 30 and / or the float tail 10, and they will be initially locked in a preset position by friction or a snap-fit ​​structure. As the float foot 30 and / or float tail 10 continue to extend into the connecting tube 21, they will cooperate with the inner fixing blocks 22 to form a strong locking structure. These fixing blocks 22 can fit tightly against the ends of the float foot 30 and / or float tail 10 to further fix the float foot 30 and / or float tail 10, thereby further improving the overall structural strength and reliability of the float.

[0041] It should be noted that the various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other.

[0042] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the appended claims.
