Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 5This utility model provides a technical solution for a large solid floating polymer fender: a large solid floating polymer fender includes a fender cylinder 1, a docking assembly 2 for enhancing connection strength is provided on the right side of the fender cylinder 1, and an assembly assembly 3 for easy docking is provided on the left side of the fender cylinder 1. The docking assembly 2 includes a fixing cylinder 4, a threaded post 5 for docking is installed inside the fixing cylinder 4, a cover plate 6 for protecting the threaded post 5 is provided on the outer wall of the fixing cylinder 4, and a U-shaped block is glued to the outer wall of the fixing cylinder 4. The U-shaped block is provided with a through hole. A rotating shaft is placed in the hole, and the rotating shaft is connected to the cover plate 6 by adhesive to form a whole. By rotating the cover plate 6 to fit the opening of the fixed cylinder 4, it can provide protection for the threaded post 5. The assembly component 3 includes a conical post 11 that is easy to insert into the fixed cylinder 4. The left side of the conical post 11 is provided with a threaded groove that matches the threaded post 5. When the conical post 11 on one fender cylinder 1 is inserted into the fixed cylinder 4 on another fender cylinder 1, the smaller end of the conical post 11 enters the fixed cylinder 4 first, which facilitates the assembly of the two fender cylinders 1 together.

[0023] A disc 13 is installed on the right side of the conical column 11. A cross groove is provided on the disc 13. A pull plate 14 that pushes the fender cylinder 1 to roll is slidably installed in the cross groove. By pulling the pull plate 14 to partially extend out of the cross groove, the staff can push the pull plate 14 to flip, making it easier for the staff to push the fender cylinder 1 in the water to roll, so that the threaded column 5 rotates into the threaded groove on the conical column 11, realizing the connection between the two fender cylinders 1 and increasing the connection strength between adjacent fender cylinders 1.

[0024] A limiting block 16 is installed on the right side of the disc 13 to restrict the movement space of the pull-out plate 14. A protrusion 15 for fitting the limiting block 16 is installed on the right side of the pull-out plate 14. A positioning post is provided on the protrusion 15. A positioning hole with the same diameter as the positioning post is provided on the limiting block 16. Pulling the pull-out plate 14 to move it horizontally until the positioning post is inserted into the positioning hole can push the pull-out plate 14 to rotate, and prevent the pull-out plate 14 from sliding into the cross groove on its own.

[0025] The front end face of the fixed cylinder 4 is provided with a telescopic connecting rod 7, and a horizontal plate 8 is installed on the front end face of the telescopic connecting rod 7.

The extension block 10 is provided with an insertion hole that matches the insertion post 9. After the cover plate 6 covers the opening on the fixed cylinder 4, the position of the cover plate 6 can be fixed by controlling the telescopic connecting rod 7 to retract until the insertion post 9 is inserted into the insertion hole on the extension block 10.

[0026] A plug 12 is provided in the threaded groove of the tapered column 11 to prevent foreign objects from clogging it. The plug 12 blocks the threaded groove on the tapered column 11 when it is not in use, which can prevent foreign objects from entering the threaded groove and affecting subsequent use.

[0027] Working principle: When in use, first remove the plug 12, and control the cover plate 6 to flip and open the fixed cylinder 4. Push the fender cylinder 1 to move, insert the conical post 11 on one fender cylinder 1 into the fixed cylinder 4 on the other fender cylinder 1, and pull the pull plate 14 to move it horizontally until the protrusion 15 fits against the limiting block 16. Then, by pushing the pull plate 14 to rotate, the threaded post 5 in the fixed cylinder 4 will rotate and be screwed into the threaded groove on the conical post 11, thus realizing the connection between the two fender cylinders 1.
