The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

In addition, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means two or more.
[0049] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0050] A floating platform is an offshore structure that floats on the sea surface and can locate and perform various tasks in the marine environment. For example, based on a floating platform, marine renewable energy utilization equipment can be installed on the floating platform and generate electricity at sea. For another example, aquaculture production activities can be carried out in the area surrounded by the floating platform.
[0051] However, the marine environment is complex and changeable. Under the combined effects of wind, waves and currents, the floating platform will experience large swaying motions, which seriously reduces the safety of the floating platform in the ocean. Therefore, how to reduce the motion response of the floating platform is an urgent technical issue.
[0052] In the related technology, marine renewable energy utilization equipment includes floating horizontal axial wind turbines and wave energy collection devices. The floating horizontal axis wind turbine is located at a high position on the floating platform, which will cause the overall center of gravity of the wind turbine and the platform to be too high, seriously reducing the safety of the floating platform in wind and waves. Due to its layout or mechanism of action, the wave energy collection device can only absorb less wave load, and the gain effect on the rolling and sway reduction of the floating platform is weak. Therefore, it is more urgent to improve the stability and safety of the floating platform on which the floating horizontal axial wind turbine is installed.
[0053] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes a wave energy collection device 100, an offshore power generation platform 1000 and a floating renewable energy and aquaculture integrated platform.
[0054] Embodiment 1
[0055] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Fig.10 As shown, this embodiment provides a wave energy collection device 100 , which includes a duck-type buoy 1 , a connecting arm 2 , a mechanical transmission device 3 and a rectifier power generation device 4 .
[0056] The duck buoy 1 has a rotation axis 10 , and the duck buoy is configured so that waves push the duck buoy 1 to rotate around the rotation axis 10 .
[0057] The duck float 1 has a head 11 and a tail 12 connected to each other; in a cross section perpendicular to the rotation axis 10, the cross-sectional shape of the tail 12 is a first arc 121 with the rotation axis 10 as the center (such as Figure 2 As shown by the bold lines in FIG. 1 , the cross-sectional shape of the head 11 is a first directrix 111 , and the first directrix is a curve formed by the two ends of the first arc 121 extending in a direction away from the rotation axis 10 and intersecting.
[0058] It should be further explained that the duck float 1 is constructed in the shape of a cam that rotates around the rotation axis 10 .
[0059] One end of the connecting arm 2 is rotatably connected to the duck-type pontoon 1 at the rotating shaft 10, and the other end of the connecting arm 2 is used to connect to the floating platform 200 so as to hang the duck-type pontoon 1 on the floating platform 200; the connecting arm 2 encloses an installation space, and the mechanical transmission device 3 and the rectifier power generation device 4 are installed in the installation space, and the duck-type pontoon 1 and the rectifier power generation device 4 are connected through the mechanical transmission device 3.
[0060] When waves act on the duck buoy, the duck buoy 1 rotates around the rotation axis 10, and the pressure of the waves causes the head of the duck buoy 1 to rise and sink reciprocatingly. The kinetic energy and potential energy are converted into mechanical energy through the mechanical transmission device in the connecting arm, and then converted into electrical energy through the rectifier generator 4.
[0061] It should be noted that the cross-sectional shape of the tail 12 is a first arc 121 with the rotation axis 10 as the center, which can reduce the reflection and transmission of waves, increase the absorption efficiency of wave energy, and play a role in reducing rolling and swaying. Therefore, if the duck pontoon 1 is to achieve the function of wave absorbing and wave relieving, the tail of the duck pontoon 1 needs to take the rotation axis 10 as the center of the first arc 121, and a rotating mechanism can be set at the rotation axis 10 to rotate with the connecting arm. In an optional specific embodiment, a flange bearing is provided at the rotation axis 10 of the duck pontoon 1, and the connecting arm can be pivotally connected to the duck pontoon 1 through the flange bearing. In another optional specific embodiment, the rotation axis of the duck pontoon 1 is a virtual axis, and the virtual axis includes a sleeve fixed on the duck pontoon 1, and the rotation of the duck pontoon 1 can be regarded as a rotation around the virtual axis.
[0062] During installation, the installer adjusts the installation position of the duck pontoon 1 so that the rotation axis 10 of the duck pontoon 1 is approximately perpendicular to the wave direction (wave direction, the direction from which the waves come), the head 11 is arranged to face the wave direction, and the tail 12 is arranged to face away from the wave direction.
[0063] It can be seen from the technical solution that the embodiment provided by the present invention has the following advantages: (1) Under the action of waves, the dynamic pressure generated by the waves is first applied to the head 11 of the duck pontoon 1, causing the entire duck pontoon 1 to swing back and forth around the rotation axis 10, and the rectifier generator 4 is connected to the duck pontoon 1 through the mechanical transmission device 3 to generate electricity. In this process, the duck pontoon 1 converts wave energy into its own kinetic energy, the mechanical transmission device 3 converts the kinetic energy of the duck pontoon 1 into mechanical energy, and the rectifier generator 3 converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. The head 11 is extended in a direction away from the rotation axis 10. Through this structural setting, the force arm of wave energy applied to the duck buoy 1 can be increased, and the primary conversion efficiency can be improved, that is, the absorption efficiency of the duck buoy 1 to wave energy can be improved; (2) The cross-sectional shape of the tail 12 is a first arc 121 with the rotation axis 10 as the center, which can reduce the reflection and transmission of waves, increase the absorption efficiency of wave energy, and play a role in reducing rolling and swaying; (3) The wave energy collection device 100 also includes a rectifier power generation device 4 and a mechanical transmission device 3. The duck buoy 1 and the rectifier power generation device 4 are connected by the mechanical transmission device 3; each connecting arm 2 encloses an installation space, and the mechanical transmission device 3 and the rectifier power generation device 4 are installed in the installation space. The rectifier power generation device 4 and the mechanical transmission device 3 are integrated in the connecting arm 2, so that the wave energy collection device 100 realizes a modular design. During the assembly process of the wave energy collection device 100 and the floating platform 200, after the wave energy collection device 100 is assembled in advance, the other end of the connecting arm 2 can be directly installed on the floating platform 200, which can simplify the assembly process, reduce the difficulty of assembly, and improve the flexibility of the system. When applied to the specific scenario of the floating platform 200, the wave energy collection device 100 provided in this embodiment adopts a modular design, which can directly replace the faulty or damaged wave energy collection device 100, reduce the maintenance cost, and improve the flexibility of the system; (4) The duck pontoon 1 is hung on the floating platform 200 through the connecting arm 2, and the duck pontoon 1 floats on the water surface, so that the overall waterline area of the floating platform 200 is increased, and the stability of the floating platform 200 is improved.
[0064] like Figure 2 As shown, further, in the cross section perpendicular to the rotation axis 10, the cross-sectional shape of the head 11 is a second directrix 111 (as shown in FIG. Figure 2 The second directrix 111 is a curve formed by the two ends of the first arc 121 extending and intersecting in a direction away from the rotation axis 10. The second directrix 111 is configured as a second arc 1111 at the end away from the rotation axis 10. The first arc 121 and the second arc 1111 protrude in directions away from each other. The head 11 is configured as an arc surface on the side away from the rotation axis 10, which is conducive to reducing damage to the duck buoy 1 caused by wave impact and reducing stress concentration.
[0065] like Figure 2As shown, further, the duck pontoon 1 is constructed as a cylinder formed by extending the first arc 11 and the second directrix 111 in a direction parallel to the rotation axis 10, and the extension length is L; the diameter of the first arc 121 is D1; the diameter of the second arc 1111 is D2; wherein, L=2*D1=4*D2. Such a setting can improve the absorption efficiency of wave energy. In theory, the primary conversion efficiency from wave energy to duck pontoon mechanical energy can reach 80%-90%. It should be noted that the duck pontoon 1 is improved and optimized based on the Salter duck pontoon, forming a new nodding duck shape, which can improve the primary conversion efficiency.
[0066] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, further, a first chamber 113 is provided in the head 11, and a second chamber 122 is provided in the tail; the first chamber 113 is connected to the second chamber 122 to transport ballast materials between the first chamber 113 and the second chamber 122, so as to switch the duck pontoon 1 between the first initial position 1a and the second initial position 1b; in the first initial position 1a, the ballast materials are located in the first chamber 113, and the head 11 is heavier than the tail 12, so that the head 11 is tilted downward relative to the tail 12; in the second initial position 1b, the ballast materials are located in the second chamber 122, so that the head 11 is tilted upward relative to the tail 12. In this way, the duck pontoon 1 can adjust its own posture and buoyancy according to the marine environment, and the overall moment of inertia of the duck pontoon 1 is changed by transporting ballast materials between the first chamber 113 and the second chamber 122, thereby changing the initial elevation angle of the duck pontoon 1.
[0067] According to the pool test result data of the duck buoy 1, when the duck buoy 1 is located at the first initial position 1a, the head is tilted downward relative to the tail, and the motion response of the duck buoy 1 is low. Therefore, when the floating platform 200 encounters severe sea conditions, the ballast material can be transported to the first chamber 113 to reduce the motion response of the duck buoy 1 and protect the duck buoy 1; when the duck buoy 1 is located at the second initial position 1b, the head is tilted upward relative to the tail, the movement of the duck buoy 1 is more violent, and the power generation performance is better, so the ballast material is arranged in the second chamber 122 by default to improve the power generation performance.
[0068] Furthermore, the second directrix 111 is tangent to the first arc 121, which can reduce stress concentration of the duck pontoon 1 and improve the durability of the duck pontoon 1. The second directrix 111 includes a second arc 1111 and a transition line segment, the first arc 121 and the second arc 1111 are connected by a transition line segment, and the transition line segment is tangent to the first arc 121.
[0069] In a specific example, the transition line segments are tangent to the first arc 121 and the second arc 1111 .
[0070] like Figure 1 and Fig.10 As shown, further, there are two connecting arms 2, and the duck pontoon 1 is hinged between the two connecting arms 2. By arranging multiple connecting arms 2 on the rotating shaft side of the duck pontoon 1, the stability and reliability of the assembly between the duck pontoon 1 and the floating platform 200 can be improved.
[0071] Embodiment 2
[0072] In the related art, the Salter duck buoy structure adopts a hydraulic transmission device. However, the hydraulic transmission system is easy to damage and break. In terms of equipment maintenance, it is not only costly, but also difficult to implement.
[0073] like Figure 5 As shown, in order to solve this technical problem, this embodiment provides a mechanical transmission device 3. The mechanical transmission device 3 includes a driven wheel 32, an output wheel 33, an output shaft 34 and a one-way transmission mechanism. The driven wheel 32 is driven by the duck-type pontoon 1 and is used to drive the output wheel 33 to rotate. The output wheel 33 is sleeved on the output shaft 34, and the two are transmitted through the one-way transmission device. The output shaft 34 is connected to the rectifier generator 4. The reciprocating bidirectional swing of the duck-type pontoon 1 transmits a rotation in one direction to the rectifier generator 4 through the mechanical transmission device 3. This one-way transmission is conducive to protecting the rectifier generator 4 and avoiding reverse impact on the rectifier generator 4. At the same time, energy can be transported more stably.
[0074] like Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, further, the outer ring of the driven wheel 32 has a first input gear 321 and a second input gear 322 spaced apart along the axial direction thereof, and the diameters of the first input gear 321 and the second input gear 322 are different; the output wheels 33 are two axially spaced apart and arranged on the output shaft 34, and the outer ring of each output wheel 33 has an output gear 330, one of which is a first output gear 331 and the other is a second output gear 332; the mechanical transmission device also includes an intermediate gear 36; the first input gear 321 and the first output gear 331 are directly meshed for transmission, and the second input gear 322 and the second output gear 332 are spaced apart and both meshed with the intermediate gear 36. The first output gear 331 and the second output gear 332 rotate in opposite directions, one of which rotates in a clockwise direction and the other rotates in a counterclockwise direction, so that there is always an output gear 330 that can transmit unidirectionally to the output shaft 34, thereby improving energy utilization efficiency.
[0075] Furthermore, the one-way transmission mechanism includes a first one-way transmission member arranged on the inner ring of the output wheel 33 and a second one-way transmission member arranged on the output shaft 34; when the output wheel 33 rotates in a first direction, the first one-way transmission member and the second one-way transmission member abut and cooperate in the circumferential direction of the output shaft 34 to drive the output shaft 34 to rotate; when the output gear 330 rotates in a second direction opposite to the first direction, the first one-way transmission member and the second one-way transmission member disengage from the transmission cooperation.
[0076] like Figure 7 As shown, further, one of the first one-way transmission member and the second one-way transmission member is configured as a ratchet 333, and the other is configured as a pawl 341, and the pawl 341 is retractably installed in the pawl cavity. When the ratchet 333 rotates in a first direction, the ratchet 333 and the pawl 341 abut in the circumferential direction of the output shaft 34 to drive the pawl 341 to rotate, and when the ratchet 333 rotates in a second direction opposite to the first direction, the ratchet 333 and the pawl 341 abut in the radial direction of the output shaft to retract the pawl 341 into the pawl cavity. Specifically, a pawl sleeve is sleeved on the output shaft 34, and a pawl cavity is opened in the pawl sleeve, and the pawl is retractably arranged in the pawl cavity. The pawl is installed in the pawl cavity through an elastic member, and the elastic member is in a compressed state so that the pawl protrudes out of the pawl cavity.
[0077] In a specific example, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the mechanical transmission device 3 includes an input wheel 31, a driven wheel 32, an output wheel 33 and an output shaft 34. The input wheel 31 is coaxially arranged with the duck pontoon 1 to drive and connect the duck pontoon 1. The input wheel 31 rotates synchronously with the driven wheel 32. The output wheel 33 is sleeved on the output shaft 34 so that the output shaft 34 and the output wheel 33 rotate synchronously.
