A wave power generation device applied to small ocean buoys

Abstract

The invention provides a wave energy power generation device applied to a small marine buoy, including a fixing device, a transmission mechanism, a power generation mechanism and an energy capture mechanism. The energy capture mechanism is connected to the power generation mechanism through the transmission mechanism, and the transmission mechanism is installed on the ocean buoy through the fixing device The up-and-down swing of the energy-capturing mechanism drives the shell of the power-generating mechanism to swing, which is converted into the rotation of the output shaft through the bevel gear set of the transmission mechanism, which in turn drives the power-generating mechanism to provide electrical energy for the marine buoy. The invention has the advantages of simple and compact structure, light weight and high energy conversion efficiency. After the device is assembled, the power generation device can be folded, and then unfolded when deployed, and can be directly loaded on the marine buoy as a separate module.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a power generation device of an ocean buoy, belonging to the technical field of ocean energy power generation. Background technique [0002] As we all know, 71% of the earth's surface is covered by sea water. Among them, wave energy has good development and utilization prospects due to its abundant reserves, wide distribution, high energy flow density, less time constraints, and low development difficulty. Ocean buoys are important hydrometeorological data collection equipment in ocean research and an important link in ocean monitoring systems. The power supply system is an important part of marine buoys, and most marine buoys adopt the power supply strategy of their own power supply. However, battery energy is limited, which limits the working time of marine buoys. If the energy stored in the ocean can be fully utilized to solve the energy supply problem of marine buoys, it will be a major breakthrough in the energy supply of...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

To sum up, most of the existing wave power generation devices are high-power generation devices, which are large in size and complicated in deployment, and are not suitable for power supply of small buoys.

The methods more suitable for small-scale power generation include pendulum type, point suction type, oscillating float type, etc., but at the same time there are problems such as non-foldable, complicated deployment methods, and inability to realize modular design.
