Signal beacon power supply device

Abstract

The device for powering a signal beacon with electrical energy obtained from the energy of sea waves finds application in maritime navigation, where it is necessary to use signal lights to indicate the coastline, the fairway for the movement of ships, dangerous shoals and other areas important for navigation. The device for powering a signal beacon includes a movable platform, movably attached to vertical fixed guides, and on the movable platform are fixedly mounted in a protective housing, a DC generator, an electric energy accumulator with a module for its control and a module for controlling the light mode of the signal beacon, which in turn is fixedly mounted on the movable platform. The device for powering the signal beacon also includes a flywheel (5) connecting the output shaft (14) of the one-way clutch (6) and the rotor of the DC generator (4). The gear wheel (7) is fixed on the input shaft (13) of the one-way clutch (6), meshed with the gear rack (8), which in turn is fixedly mounted to one of the vertical fixed guides (2). The DC generator (4) is connected to the signal light (3) by means of a control module (11) of the electric energy accumulator (10) and a control module for the light mode (9) of the signal light (3), and the movable platform (1) has a hydrodynamic profile.
