Piston type ocean wave generator

Abstract

The invention relates to a piston type ocean wave generator, which consists a large piston, a small piston, an impounding reservoir and a hydroelectric generator. The large piston and the small piston are connected through a connecting rod; a water outlet of the small piston is connected with a water inlet of the impounding reservoir through a conduit; a water outlet of the impounding reservoir is connected with a water inlet of the hydroelectric generator through the conduit; and the cross section area of the small piston is smaller than that of the large piston. The large piston of the piston type ocean wave generator is moved forwards under the actions of ocean wave impact and water pressure so as to propel the small piston to deliver the seawater in the small piston to the impounding reservoir; and meanwhile, by using the characteristic of forward propulsion of the ocean wave crest, when the small piston reaches the tail end of the large piston, the rear pressure is enlarged to propel the piston to return. The impounding reservoir continuously supplies water to the hydroelectric generator so as to fulfill the aim of uninterrupted power generation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a new equipment in the energy industry, in particular to a piston type ocean wave generator. Background technique [0002] Under the dual pressure of the gradual depletion of mineral energy and climate change, human beings are constantly researching and developing renewable energy and low-carbon energy. At present, mineral energy such as petroleum, natural gas, and coal is the main energy source. On the one hand, resources are decreasing day by day, and international oil prices are rising; on the other hand, the use of minerals produces a large amount of greenhouse gas CO 2 , causing global climate change, for which the countries of the world are very concerned. At the 2009 Copenhagen Climate Conference, countries around the world reached a consensus on reducing carbon emissions and researching and developing clean energy, and most countries formulated carbon reduction plans. [0003] At present, available clean energy includ...

Problems solved by technology

Wave energy resources are abundant, only one-time investment is required, and will not cause other impacts on the environment, safety, etc. It is more reliable than wind energy, has higher reserves than water energy, and will not bring other disadvantages than nuclear energy and water energy. However, the power of wave power generation is still very limited. According to a report recently released by the British government department "Carbon Trust Fund", the development of wave energy has not received due attention
