Equipment for capturing and converting energy

Abstract

The invention relates to the fields of novel resource utilization, electromechanics and electric power, and provides equipment for capturing and converting energy, in particular to the capture and the conversion of wave energy in the field of wave energy utilization. The basic principle is that the level angle of the equipment is changed along with wave fluctuation; and a more massive energy conversion hammer, which is arranged in the equipment, is maintained stable, a shell or a framework can move relative to the energy conversion hammer, thereby capturing the energy. An energy conversion system or an energy transmission system is used as a constitutional part of a body of the energy conversion hammer, and the relative movement drives the energy conversion system or the energy transmission system, thereby transmitting the energy to other components from the hammer body or outputting the energy outside the equipment, or generating another form of energy on the hammer body. For example, under the circumstance that an electric generator or a fluid compressor is used as the constitutional part of the hammer body, electric energy or high voltage fluid can be directly generated; and the energy not only can be used directly, but also can be converted into another form of energy, and a second-conversion component can also be used as the constitutional part of the hammer body. The invention is particularly suitable for generating electricity by waves.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the fields of new energy utilization, electromechanical and electric power, and proposes an energy capture and conversion device, especially wave energy capture and conversion in the field of wave energy utilization. Background technique [0002] The shortage of energy makes the development and utilization of new energy more and more important. Wave energy, especially ocean wave energy, has the advantages of large reserves and environmental protection, and the technology for its development and utilization is developing rapidly. A large number of wave energy utilization technologies have been proposed abroad. For example, the "Sea Snake" that has been put into trial operation is composed of three hinged large steel cylinders, half floating on the sea surface. The undulations of the waves make the components move up and down, and the hinge parts drive The hydraulic pump, the high-pressure fluid drives the hydraulic motor and gen...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

If the mass of the pendulum is small, more energy cannot be obtained; if the mass is large, it is not conducive to swinging, and floating with the shell and frame as a whole with the waves will become the main way of movement, and more energy cannot be obtained

Even if the above two points are not considered, the mechanical structure of these schemes is too complicated, so the loss is high and the efficiency is low, and the manufacturing cost is high, and the maintenance cost is high
