Protective frame device for ocean current generator set platform

Abstract

This invention relates to a protective frame device for a current generator platform. It consists of two opposing fixed frame side tubes, each secured by a transverse tube at its front end. A actuating device is located on the front side of the transverse tube. This actuating device comprises opposing U-shaped fixing frames at both ends of a transverse connecting rod. Each U-shaped fixing frame has a vertical rotating shaft fixing an upper and lower symmetrically positioned wheel. The upper wheel of the two fixing frames is connected by a flexible band above it, and the lower wheel by a flexible band below it. The symmetrical upper and lower flexible bands and the lower wheel are each provided with a plurality of (rotatable) rollers at equal intervals. This device actuates and guides drifting debris at the front end of the generator platform, preventing it from drifting away with the waves and coastal currents, thus preventing the drifting debris from contacting the generator platform's performance.

Claims

1. A protective frame device for a current generator platform, particularly one in which a transverse tube is used to fix the front ends of two relatively fixed frame side tubes to form an outer protective frame for the generator platform, characterized in that: a U-shaped fixing frame is provided at both ends of the transverse connecting rod, and an upper and lower symmetrical rotating wheel is fixed on the two relatively U-shaped fixing frames with an upright rotating shaft, the upper rotating wheel of the two fixing frames is connected by a flexible belt above the upper rotating wheel and the lower rotating wheel is connected by a flexible belt below the lower rotating wheel, and a plurality of rollers are provided at equal intervals on the upper flexible belt and the lower rotating wheel to form a moving device. When the motor is driven by the reduction device, the upper rotating wheel and the lower rotating wheel drive the rotating shaft at the other end to rotate by the upper and lower flexible belts, so that the upper flexible belt and the lower flexible belt drive the plurality of rollers to continuously circulate between the upper rotating wheel and the lower rotating wheel of the two relatively U-shaped fixing frames, thereby moving and guiding the drifting object to drift away with the waves and coastal currents.

2. The protective frame device for the ocean current generator platform as described in claim 1, wherein, The multiple rollers of the actuating device are rotatable.

3. The protective frame device for the ocean current generator platform as described in claim 1 or 2, wherein, The actuating device may be equipped with a plurality of C-shaped siphon tubes between the two [I]-shaped fixing frames, so that the seawater is guided from the top to the bottom by the siphon physical effect.
