  Hereinafter, the floating structure of the present invention will be described based on the illustrated embodiments.

  FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the floating structure of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the floating structure of the present invention is composed of a floating body 1, a guide pin 2 and a guide receiver 3, an automatic connecting device male part 4 and an automatic connecting device female part 5.

  Usually, the floating body 1 is a box-shaped floating body structure constructed of a thin plate, and on the side facing the adjacent floating body, a guide pin 2, a guide receiver 3, an automatic coupling device male portion 4, and an automatic coupling device female portion 5. Is installed.

  In FIG. 2, schematic structure of the guide pin 2 which comprises the floating body structure of this invention is shown. As shown in the figure, the guide pin 2 includes a cylindrical pin 21 having a chamfered tip and a support base 22 that supports the pin 21. The pin 21 is used to prevent the pin 21 from coming off at a position near the tip. A step is provided.

  In FIG. 3, the schematic structure of the guide receiver 3 which comprises the floating body structure of this invention is shown. As shown in the figure, the guide receiver 3 includes a conical receiver 31, a pin stopper, and a handle 32 for releasing connection. The pin stopper includes a handle 32, a block 34, and a spring 33, and the block 34 is pushed out by the spring 33. Note that the handle 32 and the block 34 have an integral structure.

  4 (a) and 4 (b) show an automatic connecting device male part 4 constituting the floating structure of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the automatic connecting device male part 4 includes a bracket 41, a cylindrical connecting pin 42, a rectangular rubber block 43, a pin lock pressing plate 44, and a pin 45 serving as a rotation axis of the pin lock pressing plate 44. , Spring mounting posts 46 and 47, a spring 48 connecting the spring mounting posts 46 and 47, and a wire 49 for releasing the pin lock pressing plate 44. Note that the other end of the wire 49 protrudes from the upper surface of the floating body 1. Further, due to the elastic force of the spring 48 mounted between the spring mounting posts 46 and 47, the pin lock pressing plate 44 is normally closed.

  5 (a) and 5 (b) show an automatic connecting device female portion 5 constituting the floating structure of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the automatic coupling device female section 5 includes a bracket 51, an L-shaped coupling plate 52, a pin 53 that serves as a rotation shaft of the coupling plate 52, a roller 54 that is attached to the short side of the coupling plate 52, It comprises a pin 55 for connecting the roller 54 and the connecting plate 52, a post 56 attached to the connecting plate 52, a post 57 attached to the bracket 51, and a spring 58 connecting the post 56 and the post 57. Due to the elastic force of the spring 58 attached between the posts 56 and 57, the connecting plate 52 is normally opened.

  When the floating structures configured as described above approach each other, the guide pin 2 is inserted along the conical receiver 31 of the guide receiver 3 as shown in FIG. The block 34 of the guide receiver 3 is contacted. When the distance between the floating structures is shortened, the block 34 is pushed by the guide pin 2 and the spring 33 is compressed and contracted. When the guide pin 2 is inserted deeper, the block 34 is pushed out to a step for preventing the guide pin 2 from coming off. Thereby, even if the distance between the floating structures increases, the block 34 is caught by the step of the guide pin 2, so that the guide pin 2 can be prevented from coming off from the guide receiver 3.

  Next, the connection point of the automatic connection apparatus which comprises the floating body structure of this invention is demonstrated using Fig.7 (a), (b) and (c).

  First, as shown in FIG. 7A, when the floating structures are sufficiently close to each other, the rubber block 43 of the automatic connecting device male part 4 pushes the roller 54 of the automatic connecting device female part and the short side of the connecting plate 52. The connection plate 52 rotates around the pin 53 and operates so that the connection plate 52 sandwiches the connection pin 42 (see FIG. 7B). Thereafter, the distal end of the connecting plate 52 on the long side pushes in the pin locking pressing plate 44 of the automatic connecting device male part 4 to sandwich the connecting pin 42 (see FIG. 7C). The connection plate 52 receives a force in the opening direction due to the elastic force of the spring 58, but since the tip is held by the notch of the pin lock pressing plate 44, the connection is not naturally released.

  As shown in FIGS. 8A, 8B, and 8C, even when the axes of the floating structures are shifted, if one guide pin 2 contacts the guide receiver 3 (FIG. 8). (See (a)), one guide pin 2 is inserted along the conical receiver 31 (see FIG. 8 (b)), and the other is rotated around the contact portion between the inserted guide pin 2 and guide receiver 3 as a fulcrum. Since the guide pin 2 is inserted (see FIG. 8C), the effect can be sufficiently exerted even in an environment affected by wave winds.

  At the time of release, as shown in FIGS. 9A, 9B and 9C, the other end of the wire 49 attached to the post 47 of the automatic coupling device male part 4 is pulled from the upper surface of the floating structure (FIG. 9). (See (a)), the pin lock holding plate 44 is opened (see FIG. 9B), and the connecting plate 52 held by the pin lock holding plate 44 is opened and released by the elastic force of the spring 58 (see FIG. 9B). (See FIG. 9C).

  According to the present embodiment described above, even if the floating structure is in a state of being shaken by a wave wind or the like, if the guide pin comes close to the curved surface of the guide receiver, the tip of the guide pin is brought into contact with the curved surface of the guide receiver. The floating structures can be smoothly guided to the connection position. Further, the step provided on the guide pin and the stopper of the guide receiver serve to prevent the distance between the floating structures from increasing after the pin is inserted.

  As a result, when the distance between the floating structures is sufficiently close, the automatic coupling device is activated to establish the connection of the floating structures.
