[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 2According to an embodiment of the present invention, the floating boat dock includes: a dock body 10, fixed piles 20, fixed tie rods 30, and movable tie rods 40. The dock body 10 is floating on the water surface (not shown in the figure); the fixed piles 20 are set on the embankment (not shown in the figure); the fixed tie rods 30 are fixed to the embankment, and one end of the fixed tie rods 30 is connected to the fixed piles 20; one end of the movable tie rods 40 is hinged to the other end of the fixed tie rods 30, and the other end of the movable tie rods 40 is hinged to the dock body 10.

[0035] The floating boat dock of this utility model mainly includes a dock body 10, fixed piles 20, fixed tie rods 30, and movable tie rods 40. The dock body 10 is the core part of the entire dock and is designed as a floating structure. It is made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials, such as high-density polyethylene or stainless steel frames combined with floating bodies, ensuring long-term durability and stability. The upper surface of the dock body 10 is equipped with an anti-slip layer and anti-collision facilities to improve safety. The dock body 10 can float up and down with changes in water level, ensuring safe docking of boats at any water level. The fixed piles 20 are set on the embankment, serving as fixed points connecting the dock body 10 and the embankment. Considering the difficulties of construction and the diversity of geological conditions, the design of the fixed piles 20 adopts a combination of pre-embedding and anchoring. In areas with good geological conditions, the fixed piles 20 can be directly pre-embedded in the ground; in areas with poor geological conditions, anchoring technology, such as using expansion bolts or chemical anchors, can be used to ensure the stability of the fixed piles 20. The top of the fixed piles 20 is equipped with a connecting device for connecting with the fixed tie rods 30.

[0036] One end of the fixed tie rod 30 is fixed to the fixed pile 20 on the embankment, and the other end is connected to the movable tie rod 40 by a hinge. The fixed tie rod 30 is made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials, such as stainless steel or galvanized steel, to ensure long-term tensile strength without failure. Its length is designed according to the actual distance between the wharf body 10 and the embankment and the range of water level changes, ensuring sufficient tensile force transmission while also considering the floating space of the wharf body 10. One end of the movable tie rod 40 is hinged to the fixed tie rod 30, and the other end is hinged to the wharf body 10. The design of the movable tie rod 40 is one of the key features of this invention. It allows the wharf body 10 to float freely in the vertical direction with the rise and fall of the water level, while providing a certain degree of flexibility in the horizontal direction. The movable tie rod 40 is also made of high-strength materials, and its hinge points are equipped with wear-resistant bushings to reduce friction loss and extend service life.

[0037] When the water level rises, the main body of the wharf 10 rises accordingly. Due to the hinged design of the movable tie rod 40, it can automatically adjust its angle to maintain a stable connection between the main body of the wharf 10 and the embankment. Meanwhile, the fixed tie rod 30, as the main force transmission component, ensures that the main body of the wharf 10 will not drift or sway due to rising water levels; when the water level drops, the main body of the wharf 10 drops accordingly. The movable tie rod 40 also maintains the stability of the connection between the main body of the wharf 10 and the embankment through angle adjustment. The fixed tie rod 30 continues to bear the task of force transmission, ensuring the safe berthing of the main body of the wharf 10.

[0038] By adopting the floating boat dock of this utility model, the problems of difficult construction, inconvenient maintenance, and poor adaptability of traditional floating docks with fixed piles 20 are effectively solved. The dock structure of this utility model is simple, easy to construct, and low in cost, and can adapt to various geological and hydrological conditions. At the same time, the main body of the dock 10 can be flexibly adjusted with changes in water level, improving the stability and safety of the dock and providing a more reliable berthing environment for boats.

[0039] Therefore, it is understood that the floating boat dock according to the present utility model embodiment has at least the following beneficial effects: by installing the fixed piles 20 on the embankment, the method of directly driving them into the bottom of the water or pre-burying them in the riverbed can be avoided, thereby reducing the construction difficulty of the fixed piles 20 and preventing the fixed piles 20 from being eroded by seawater or river water, thereby improving the service life of the fixed piles 20. The fixed piles 20 set on the embankment are also convenient for technicians to maintain, reducing maintenance costs.

[0040] Furthermore, referring to Figures 1 to 2 In some embodiments of this utility model, two fixed tie rods 30 are provided, and a movable mounting base 21 is provided on the fixed pile 20. The two fixed tie rods 30 are installed on the movable mounting base 21 and are distributed at intervals.

[0041] In the floating dock of this utility model embodiment, two fixed tie rods 30 are provided. These two fixed tie rods 30 are not directly fixed to the fixed piles 20, but are mounted on specially designed movable mounting seats 21 on the fixed piles 20. This design not only enhances the stability of the dock but also improves its adaptability and flexibility. The movable mounting seat 21 is a structure fixed to the top of the fixed piles 20, allowing the fixed tie rods 30 to be finely adjusted within a certain range. This mounting seat can be a structure with ball joints or other movable parts, allowing the fixed tie rods 30 to adjust their angle and position as needed. The movable mounting seat 21 is made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials, such as stainless steel or alloy steel, to ensure its long-term reliability and durability. The two fixed tie rods 30 are spaced apart on the movable mounting seat 21. This layout helps to distribute the forces transmitted from the dock body 10, improving the overall structural stability of the dock. At the same time, the spaced arrangement of the two tie rods also facilitates maintenance and repair. If one tie rod malfunctions, it can be replaced or repaired individually without affecting the normal operation of the other tie rod.

[0042] When water levels change or lateral forces are generated by boats mooring, the two fixed tie rods 30 work together, maintaining a stable connection between the wharf body 10 and the breakwater through the fine-tuning function of the movable mounting base 21. This design not only enhances the wharf's resistance to wind and waves but also improves its ability to adapt to changes in water level. Furthermore, the spaced arrangement of the two fixed tie rods 30 helps reduce the stress on any single rod, extending its service life. Simultaneously, the design of the movable mounting base 21 makes the installation and adjustment of the fixed tie rods 30 more flexible and convenient, reducing construction difficulty and cost.

[0043] Furthermore, referring to Figures 1 to 2 In some embodiments of this utility model, a support 31 is provided on the embankment, and the fixed tie rod 30 is installed on the embankment through the support 31. The support 31 is used to support the fixed tie rod 30. Specifically, in the floating boat dock of this utility model, a support 31 is specially provided on the embankment to support and fix the fixed tie rod 30. The support 31 is an important component connecting the fixed tie rod 30 and the embankment. It can not only withstand various forces and torques transmitted from the fixed tie rod 30, but also ensure the stability and safety of the fixed tie rod 30 in long-term use. The design of the support 31 takes into account its load-bearing capacity and durability, so it is made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials, such as cast steel, stainless steel, or alloy steel. The structural form of the support 31 can be selected according to actual needs. For example, it can be a simple block structure or a complex structure with reinforcing ribs to improve its load-bearing capacity.

[0044] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this invention, the fixed tie rod 30 is telescopic. To enable the fixed tie rod 30 to adapt to the needs of the wharf under different water level changes and to reduce tension variations between the wharf body 10 and the embankment caused by water level fluctuations, the fixed tie rod 30 in this invention is designed as a telescopic structure. This design allows the fixed tie rod 30 to be adjusted in length, thereby maintaining a stable connection between the wharf body 10 and the embankment, regardless of whether the water level is rising or falling. There are various ways to implement the telescopic fixed tie rod 30. For example, a sleeve structure can be used, in which the inner rod can slide inside the outer cylinder and be fixed by a locking mechanism (such as bolts, buckles, etc.); or a combination of a telescopic rod and a spring can be used, utilizing the spring force to adapt to length changes and locking the desired length through an adjustment mechanism. Regardless of the structure used, it is necessary to ensure that the fixed tie rod 30 maintains sufficient strength and stability during extension and retraction to meet the wharf's usage requirements.

[0045] Reference Figures 1 to 2 In some embodiments of this utility model, a lighting device is provided at the top of the fixed pile 20. The lighting device includes a lamp (not shown in the figure) and a solar panel 22. The lighting device is installed at the top of the fixed pile 20, which not only provides necessary lighting for the dock area but also utilizes the height advantage of the fixed pile 20 to achieve a wider lighting coverage. The lighting device mainly consists of two parts: the lamp and the solar panel 22. The lamp is the core part of the lighting device, responsible for emitting light to illuminate the dock area. The selection of the lamp should consider factors such as its brightness, color temperature, energy consumption, and waterproof performance to ensure a stable and reliable lighting effect even at night or in inclement weather conditions. The lamp can be designed with an adjustable angle to adjust the lighting direction and range according to actual needs. The solar panel 22 is the energy supply part of the lighting device, which uses solar energy to convert into electrical energy to power the lamp. The solar panel 22 is installed at an appropriate position at the top of the fixed pile 20 to ensure maximum solar radiation reception. The selection of the solar panel 22 should consider factors such as its conversion efficiency, durability, and compatibility with the lamp to ensure that the lighting device can operate stably for a long time.

[0046] Reference Figures 1 to 2 In some embodiments of this utility model, the dock body 10 includes a pedal 11 and a floating block 12. The pedal 11 is disposed on the floating block 12, and one end of the movable pull rod 40 is hinged to the pedal 11.

[0047] Specifically, the main body of the pier 10 is the most crucial part of the floating vessel pier, directly responsible for berthing of vessels and embarkation / disembarkation of personnel. In this invention, the main body of the pier 10 is designed to include two parts: a platform 11 and floating blocks 12. The platform 11 is the part of the pier 10 that directly contacts the user, providing a stable and safe platform for standing and walking. The platform 11 is typically made of high-strength, non-slip, and corrosion-resistant materials, such as aluminum alloy, stainless steel, or composite materials, to ensure its long-term reliability and safety. The surface of the platform 11 may be designed with anti-slip textures or fitted with anti-slip mats to increase friction and prevent slipping accidents. The floating blocks 12 are responsible for buoyancy and stability in the pier 10. They are typically made of lightweight, high-strength materials, such as polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, or fiberglass, which have good buoyancy and corrosion resistance, ensuring the stability and durability of the pier 10 in water. The number and layout of the floating blocks 12 are determined according to the size of the pier and the load-bearing requirements to ensure that the pier 10 can evenly distribute the load and maintain a stable floating state.

[0048] One end of the movable tie rod 40 is hinged to the pedal 11. This design allows the movable tie rod 40 to swing and rotate within a certain range, adapting to changes in water level and the impact force when boats dock. The hinge point is usually located at the edge of the pedal 11 or a specific position to ensure a firm and reliable connection between the movable tie rod 40 and the pedal 11 without interfering with the normal use of the pedal 11. The hinge design not only improves the flexibility and adaptability of the dock body 10 but also reduces stress concentration caused by changes in water level or boat docking. When the water level rises or falls, the movable tie rod 40 can float up and down with the pedal 11, maintaining a stable connection with the fixed tie rod 30. When boats dock, the movable tie rod 40 can be finely adjusted through the hinge point to absorb and disperse impact forces, protecting the dock body 10 and boats from damage.

[0049] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to... Figures 1 to 2An illumination strip 111 is provided along the edge of the treadle 11. The illumination strip 111 is installed along the edge of the treadle 11 to provide necessary auxiliary lighting for the dock area and enhance the visibility of the treadle 11's edge, reducing the risk of accidental slips at night or in low light conditions. The illumination strip 111 typically consists of LED light strips or similar light sources, which are characterized by low power consumption, high brightness, and long lifespan, making them ideal for outdoor use. The illumination strip 111 can be arranged continuously along the edge of the treadle 11 to form a clear lighting line, or it can be interrupted or spaced out at specific locations as needed to create more distinctive lighting effects. The color of the illumination strip 111 can be selected according to actual needs, typically using bright colors such as white or yellow to ensure that the edge of the treadle 11 is clearly identifiable at night.

[0050] Reference Figures 1 to 2 In some embodiments of this utility model, the floating boat dock also includes a movable ladder 50, one end of which is movably connected to the dock body 10, and the other end of which is movably connected to the breakwater.

[0051] Furthermore, referring to Figures 1 to 2 In some embodiments of this utility model, the movable ladder 50 includes a handrail 51 and a step plate 52, with the handrail 51 disposed on both sides of the step plate 52.

[0052] The movable ladder 50 is a crucial component of the floating dock, connecting the main dock body 10 to the breakwater, allowing users safe and convenient passage between the dock and the breakwater. One end of the movable ladder 50 is fixed to the main dock body 10 via a movable connection, typically using a hinged or detachable design to allow for adjustments based on water level changes or dock usage requirements. The other end of the movable ladder 50 is connected to the breakwater via a similar movable connection, ensuring stability and ease of use under varying water levels and tidal conditions. The material selection for the movable ladder 50 should consider its load-bearing capacity, corrosion resistance, and lightweight nature, typically employing materials such as stainless steel, aluminum alloy, or high-strength plastics. Furthermore, the design of the movable ladder 50 must incorporate folding or retractable functionality to minimize its footprint when not in use, facilitating storage and management.

[0053] To enhance the safety and comfort of the movable ladder 50, handrails 51 are installed on both sides of the ladder 50, and a step plate 52 is installed in the middle section. The handrails 51 are designed not only to provide users with additional support and balance but also to serve as part of a rescue passage in emergencies. The handrails 51 are typically made of the same material as the ladder 50 and are securely fixed to both sides of the step plate 52 to withstand the user's gripping force. The step plate 52 is a key component of the movable ladder 50, providing a flat surface for stepping on, allowing users to ascend and descend steadily. The width and height of the step plate 52 should be designed according to ergonomic principles to ensure comfortable walking for users. Simultaneously, the surface of the step plate 52 should be provided with anti-slip stripes or covered with anti-slip material to increase friction and prevent slips.

[0054] Furthermore, referring to Figures 1 to 2 In some embodiments of this utility model, a step 13 is provided on the main body 10 of the dock, and the step plate 52 is movably connected to the main body 10 of the dock via the step 13. The step 13 is designed on the edge of the main body 10, corresponding to the step plate 52 of the movable ladder 50. The step 13 not only serves as part of the structure of the main body 10, providing support and stability, but also provides a convenient interface for the connection of the movable ladder 50. The width and height of the step 13 should match the step plate 52 of the movable ladder 50 to ensure a smooth transition and tight connection between the two.

[0055] The material and construction of the steps 13 should be consistent with the main body of the dock 10 to ensure its durability and overall aesthetics. Simultaneously, the surface of the steps 13 should be provided with anti-slip stripes or covered with anti-slip material to increase friction and prevent users from slipping when using the movable ladder 50. The step plates 52 of the movable ladder 50 are movably connected to the steps 13 on the main body of the dock 10 via a specific connecting mechanism. This connecting mechanism can be a hinge, pin, slide rail, or other similar mechanical device, which allows the step plates 52 to tilt up and down or move horizontally within a certain range to adapt to the needs of use under different water levels and tidal conditions. The design of the connecting mechanism should ensure its robustness and reliability, capable of withstanding various forces and vibrations generated during the use of the movable ladder 50. Furthermore, the connecting mechanism should be easy to operate and maintain, allowing users to easily adjust the position and angle of the movable ladder 50 according to actual needs.

[0056] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
