The energy-capturing column generates periodic vibrations in the fluid with a constant flow rate, thereby driving the energy-capturing bracket to perform reciprocating linear motion in the vertical direction. Under normal conditions, the first spring, the second spring, the third spring and the fourth spring are in a relaxed state. When the energy-capturing bracket moves upward, the first spring and the third spring are compressed, and the second spring and the fourth spring are stretched. When the energy-capturing bracket moves downward, the first spring and the third spring are stretched, and the second spring and the fourth spring are compressed. During the reciprocating linear motion of the energy-capturing bracket in the vertical direction, the double-sided rack moves up and down with the energy-capturing bracket, thereby driving the first input gear and the second input gear of the double-sided rack to rotate reciprocatingly. The reciprocating rotation of the first input gear and the second input gear drives the first output gear and the second output gear to rotate through the first transmission shaft and the second transmission shaft. Since the first output gear and the second output gear are respectively installed on the first transmission shaft and the second transmission shaft through the first one-way bearing and the second one-way bearing, the first output gear and the second output gear rotate unidirectionally, thereby driving the reduction gear to rotate, and finally driving the micro-generator to generate electricity.

The use of one-way bearings ensures the consistency of the rotation direction and improves the transmission efficiency. In addition, the present application has a compact and reliable structure, and each component adopts a standardized design. The gear rack transmission process is mature, easy to install and maintain, and the overall structure is adapted to the marine environment. Furthermore, the present application can be installed in fluid environments such as oceans and rivers to generate electricity using vortex-induced vibration, providing clean electricity for coastal areas and remote waters, and alleviating power supply pressure.

The energy capture column 8 generates periodic vibrations in the fluid with a constant flow rate, thereby driving the energy capture bracket 2 to perform reciprocating linear motion in the vertical direction (the energy capture effect of the energy capture bracket 2 and the energy capture column 8 is the existing technology. The energy capture column 8 is a non-streamlined column. When the non-streamlined column is in a constant flow rate, vortices are alternately generated on both sides, causing the column to vibrate periodically. I will not go into details here). Under normal circumstances, the first spring 30, the second spring 33, the third spring 36 and the fourth spring 39 are in a relaxed state. When the energy capture bracket 2 moves upward, the first spring 30 and the third spring 36 are compressed, and the second spring 33 and the fourth spring 39 are stretched. When the energy capture bracket 2 moves downward, the first spring 30 and the third spring 36 are stretched. , the second spring 33 and the fourth spring 39 are compressed; during the reciprocating linear motion of the energy capture bracket 2 in the vertical direction, the double-sided rack 26 moves up and down with the energy capture bracket 2, thereby driving the first input gear 41 and the second input gear 42 of the double-sided rack 26 to rotate back and forth, and the reciprocating rotation of the first input gear 41 and the second input gear 42 drives the first output gear 45 and the second output gear 46 to rotate through the first transmission shaft 43 and the second transmission shaft 44. Since the first output gear 45 and the second output gear 46 are respectively installed on the first transmission shaft 43 and the second transmission shaft 44 through the first one-way bearing and the second one-way bearing, the first output gear 45 and the second output gear 46 rotate unidirectionally, thereby driving the reduction gear 47 to rotate, and finally driving the micro generator to generate electricity.

7. A method for converting electric energy based on vortex-induced vibration, implemented based on the electric energy conversion device based on vortex-induced vibration according to any one of claims 1 to 6, characterized in that: The steps include: The electric energy conversion device is installed in a corresponding fluid environment through an outer bracket and an inner bracket. The energy-capturing column generates periodic vibrations in the fluid with a constant flow rate, thereby driving the energy-capturing bracket to perform reciprocating linear motion in the vertical direction. Under normal conditions, the first spring, the second spring, the third spring and the fourth spring are in a relaxed state. When the energy-capturing bracket moves upward, the first spring and the third spring are compressed, and the second spring and the fourth spring are stretched. When the energy-capturing bracket moves downward, the first spring and the third spring are stretched, and the second spring and the fourth spring are compressed. During the reciprocating linear motion of the energy-capturing bracket in the vertical direction, the double-sided rack moves up and down with the energy-capturing bracket, thereby driving the first input gear and the second input gear of the double-sided rack to rotate reciprocatingly. The reciprocating rotation of the first input gear and the second input gear drives the first output gear and the second output gear to rotate through the first transmission shaft and the second transmission shaft. Since the first output gear and the second output gear are respectively installed on the first transmission shaft and the second transmission shaft through the first one-way bearing and the second one-way bearing, the first output gear and the second output gear rotate unidirectionally, thereby driving the reduction gear to rotate, and finally driving the micro-generator to generate electricity.
