  • Quickly-detachable airbag-type floating breakwater
    Patent number: 10745876
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a quickly-detachable airbag-type floating breakwater, including a plurality of water wave absorbing structure units arranged along a length direction of the breakwater. The adjacent water wave absorbing structure units are connected by a connecting unit. The water wave absorbing structure unit comprises at least two floats arranged side by side and a wave absorbing plate located between the floats. The water wave absorbing structure unit comprises at least two floats arranged side by side and a wave absorbing plate located on the floats. The connecting unit comprises bases located at the ends of the floats, an airbag located between the adjacent bases, and a steel chain, the adjacent bases wrapping the airbag to form a buffer connecting structure.
