Description

  TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a floating structure that can be used as a floating pier for fishing grounds such as oyster farming, various fish fish cages, etc., in which the floats are connected with trunk materials.

  Conventionally, as such a floating structure, in particular, a structure for a fishing ground sacrifice, a structure in which a trunk material composed of a steel rope or other metal pipe is connected between a plurality of floats is conventionally used. I came.

  However, when a metal pipe is used as a trunk material connecting the floats, it is heavy and difficult to handle. In addition, when a rope is used as the trunk material, the slack is severe and the stability is poor, and the work on the assembled trunk material may be difficult.

  Therefore, in recent years, bamboo materials that are lighter and more flexible than metal pipes have come to be used as trunk materials for the formation of oyster farming sacrifices in recent years. The use of bamboo has become promising as a measure to prevent erosion by bamboo forests caused by devastation of forests.

  This structure was obtained by assembling bamboo baskets having a diameter of about 10 cm in a lattice pattern with a wire and connecting them to a float in which a floating material was wrapped with a waterproof cloth material.

  This bamboo is relatively inexpensive, has a smooth round surface, is relatively easy to handle, and the sacrificial structure itself is flexible and can withstand a small amount of waves. There are advantages such as sufficient strength for fishing and sufficient fishing strength when submerged in the sea.

  However, the assembly of the sacrifice structure using this bamboo material requires a fixed size and length, and the assembly of the frame structure to be attached to the float is 3-5 mm or more. It is necessary to tie them together with a wire, and the assembly requires considerable labor, labor and skill. Furthermore, there is a problem of shortening the life due to corrosion by seawater.

  In addition, as disclosed in the following patent documents, many plastic bell-shaped floats have been devised for aquaculture fish cages because of their ease of manufacture and handling convenience. However, when a simple bar is used as a trunk, there is a problem that handling is inconvenient.

Japanese Utility Model Publication 2-36384 Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 3-31849 Japanese Utility Model Publication No.7-1758.

  The problem of the present invention is that it has corrosion resistance to seawater, has flexure and resistance to sea surface fluctuations, and is suitable for oyster farming, fishing ground sacrifices, floating piers for ships, etc. It is to provide a lightweight floating structure that can be used.

  The present invention is a floating structure in which a trunk material obtained from a plastic material, particularly a plastic waste material, is assembled in a lattice shape, and a plurality of floats are connected to the lattice-shaped trunk material.

The plastic material constituting the floating structure of the present invention can be utilized mainly pp, waste material of a thermoplastic plastic such as pe. Its plastic waste for the need not name those which are sorted exceptionally for each type.

Plastic waste material that is remelted to form a trunk material that connects the floats is formed by extruding ordinary pellet-like waste material at a temperature of about 180 ° C. using an ordinary melting extruder, and has a triangular cross section. An arbitrary polygonal shape such as a quadrangular or hexagonal shape having a diameter of about 60 mm and a length of about 12000 mm is formed and used as a trunk of a floating structure.

As the float for connecting such a stem member, to create a box-like body from panels of grayed Las fibers, the function of the float to have by filling waste pellet-like plastic foam, also, to be able to inject seawater, to use those to adjust the buoyancy.

  In addition, to connect the plastic rods assembled in a lattice form to form the trunk material, and to attach the lattice-shaped trunk material and the float, the waves when the finished structure is floated on the sea and the oyster net to suspend It is necessary to adopt a coupling means to withstand the gravity of the. Moreover, the coupling needs to be a simple means.

  The floating structure of the present invention can be made into a trunk material having excellent uniform flexibility by combining a plastic waste material only with a melt-extruded rod body. It can be of any size and shape that can adjust buoyancy by introduction, and assembly and maintenance are simplified.

  In addition, by using a used plastic waste material for the production of each member and reusing the used waste material, a recycling system for recycling the plastic waste material can be formed.

  Furthermore, conventionally, as a trunk material constituting the floating structure, bamboo material having a round surface has been used as it is, and thus the work on the floating structure has been unstable. However, in the plastic trunk material of the present invention, It can be of any cross-sectional shape, and the work on the floating structure can be made efficient by using a polygonal cross-section that emphasizes stability as the work on the floating structure.

The trunk material used for the floating structure of this invention is shown. The 1st example of the float used for this invention is shown. The unit of the float structure which attached the trunk material to the float shown in FIG. 2 is shown. The unit assembly metal fitting of a floating structure is shown. The unit assembly procedure of the floating structure is shown below. The state which looked at the 1st example of the floating structure for oyster culture ginger from the top is shown.
