The invention relates to the technical field of hydroelectric generation and discloses hydroelectric generation equipment capable of improving potential energy based on the water flow. The apparatus includes a tank body, wherein a water storage plate is fixedly connected with the interior of the tank body, a rotating rod is movably connected with a surface of the water storage plate, a push rod ismovably connected into the rotating rod, springs are movably connected with two sides of the push rod, a gear is movably connected with the end, away from the rotating rod, of the push rod, a movingplate is movably connected with a surface of the gear, and a power generation wheel is movably connected with a surface of the moving plate through a connecting rod. The released water impacts a pressure film on the surface of the water storage plate, the pressure film is extruded to sink inwards and pushes the rotating rod directly connected with the pressure film, the rotating rod is extruded topush a push rod, the push rod is engaged with the gear and drives the gear to rotate, when the water flow does not enter the drainage box, the power generation wheel rotates to generate the suction force, so effects of sucking the water flow to move and increasing the kinetic energy of the water flow are achieved, and the kinetic energy in the water is fully utilized.
