[0069] Reference Figures 1 to 5 , describing an embodiment of the floating water support device of the present invention.

[0070] The floating water support device of the present invention comprises a ball 10 , a floating unit 15 , a first support frame 25 , a support seat unit 30 and a solar panel 35 .

[0071] The ball 10 is formed with a guide groove 11 and a fixing groove 13. The guide groove 11 is formed along a circumferential surface of a virtual cross section passing through the center of the ball 10. That is, it is formed along a circumferential surface constituting the diameter of the ball 10. Then, the fixing groove 13 is formed on both sides of the ball 10 facing each other on the path of the guide groove 11 toward the center of the ball 10.

[0072] The first support frame 25 is coupled to the ball 10, and the other end is heavier than the one end 25a, so that the one end 25a is facing upward and the other end is facing downward to stand vertically. At this time, a structure such as a wind turbine can be installed at the one end 25a of the first support frame 25. When the first support frame 25 is coupled to the ball 10, it is coupled to the center of the ball 10 through the guide groove 11 and the fixing groove 13 vertically. The first support frame 25 can be injected or discharged with fluid inside to change its weight, as in the previous invention.

[0073] The floating unit 15 includes a first floating portion 16 , a limiting protrusion 17 and a fixing member 20 .

[0074] The first floating part 16 floats on the water surface and is hollow inside to accommodate the other end of the first support frame 25. The upper plate 16a of the first floating part 16 supports the ball 10 so that it can rotate. Therefore, a ball receiving part 16a_1 for receiving and supporting the ball 10 is formed on the upper plate 16a. That is, the ball 10 can be placed in the ball receiving part 16a_1 to rotate. Then, the lower plate 16b has a spherical part 16c.

[0075] One end of the limiting protrusion 17 is inserted into the guide groove 11 to prevent the ball 10 from rotating around the axis of the first support frame 25. At this time, a screw is formed at the other end of the limiting protrusion 17 to move forward and backward in the fixing member 20.

[0076] The fixing member 20 plays a role in mounting the limiting protrusion 17 on the first floating portion 16. To this end, the fixing member 20 includes a moving plate 21, a fixing frame 22 and a clamp 23.

[0077] The moving plate 21 is coupled to the other end of the limiting protrusion 17 by a screw, so that the limiting protrusion 17 can move forward and backward when the limiting protrusion 17 rotates. The moving plate 21 is formed to be curved in the circumferential direction of the ball 10 .

[0078] The fixing frame 22 is combined with the upper plate 16a of the first floating part 16 so that the movable plate 21 can only slide in the curvature direction of the movable plate 21 within a predetermined spacing. To this end, the fixing frame 22 guides the movable plate 21 to slide. At this time, in order to make the movable plate 21 slide only by a predetermined spacing, a collision rod 22a is formed, and the collision with the limiting protrusion 17 at a spacing corresponding to the spacing. That is, the limiting protrusion 17 slides only between the collision rods 22a at a predetermined spacing. Therefore, the movable plate 21 is the same as the collision rod 22a, and can also slide only within the spacing.

[0079] The clamp 23 restricts the sliding of the movable plate 21. Depending on the situation, it is necessary to fix the movable plate 21 instead of sliding the movable plate 21. In this case, the clamp 23 can be used to restrict the sliding of the movable plate 21. For this purpose, the clamp 23 is combined with the fixing frame 22, and then the movable plate 21 can be pressed if it is combined with the fixing frame 22. In the case of this embodiment, the clamp 23 can be screwed to the fixing frame 22, and then the movable plate 21 can be pressed.

[0080] One end 31 of the support seat unit 30 is installed at the lower part of the first support frame 25, and can support the first support frame 25, while the other end 33 contacts the spherical portion 16c. At this time, the other end 33 of the support seat unit 30 can contact the spherical portion 16c in a rolling manner. Therefore, the other end 33 can be composed of a wheel or a ball. A structure can be set at one end 25a of the first support frame 25. In this case, the weight is too large, and an excessive load can be applied to the upper plate 16a of the first floating portion 16. Therefore, the upper plate 16a may be damaged. In order to prevent this phenomenon, the support seat unit 30 has the function of dispersing a part of the load of the first support frame 25 to the lower plate 16b.

[0081] The solar panel 35 is arranged on the upper plate 16a of the first floating part 16. Therefore, the floating water support device of this embodiment can generate electricity by itself. In the case of this embodiment, although the solar panel 35 is arranged on the upper plate of the first floating part 16, a vertical wind turbine generator may be arranged instead of the solar panel 35, or the solar panel 35 and the vertical wind turbine generator may be arranged together. The solar panel 35 and the vertical wind turbine generator may also be arranged in all the embodiments described below.

[0082] If this embodiment is installed at sea, the first support frame 25 is vertically erected with one end 25a at the top and the other end accommodated in the first floating part 16. In this case, a wind turbine or the like is installed at one end 25a of the first support frame 25. Even if the weight is too heavy due to the installation of a structure or the like on the first support frame 25, the support seat unit 30 is installed at the other end of the first support frame 25, so that it is supported by the lower plate 16b of the first floating part 16. Therefore, the load of the first support frame 25 is dispersed by the upper plate 16a and the lower plate 16b, so that the upper plate 16a of the first floating part 16 can be prevented from being damaged due to excessive load. Then, the lower plate 16b of the first support frame 25 has a spherical portion 16c, so that the distance from the center of the ball 10 to the spherical portion 16c is the same. In addition, the support seat unit 30 is in contact with the spherical portion 16c so that it can roll on the spherical portion 16c. Therefore, although the support seat unit 30 contacts the spherical portion 16c, the friction force is minimized, and the first floating portion 16 can shake with respect to the first support frame 25, such as Figure 5 Even if the first floating portion 16 or the first supporting frame 25 shakes, the supporting seat unit 30 is supported by the spherical surface portion 16 c.

[0083] On the other hand, in the present embodiment, since the other end of the first support frame 25 is inserted into the interior of the first floating part 16, the first support frame 25 is not affected by waves. That is, even if there is wave activity and the first floating part 16 shakes, the first support frame 25 can be prevented from shaking.

[0084] Then, if the rotation limiting protrusion 17 is inserted into the guide groove 11 of the ball 10, the ball 10 is prevented from rotating around the axis of the first support frame 25. However, although the ball 10 is limited from rotating around the axis of the first support frame 25, it can rotate around an axis perpendicular to the axis of the first support frame 25. Therefore, even if the first float 16 is shaken by wave movement, the shaking of the first float 16 is not transmitted to the first support frame 25.

[0085] However, at this time, the movable plate 21 equipped with the limiting protrusion 17 can slide a predetermined spacing. Therefore, the first support frame 25 can swing with a spacing corresponding to it around the axis of the first support frame 25. Accordingly, if a strong wind that rotates the first support frame 25 in the axial direction of the first support frame 25 occurs, an excessive load acts on the limiting protrusion 17, which may damage the limiting protrusion 17 or the ball 10. In this case, the movable plate 21 combined with the limiting protrusion 17 slides, thereby alleviating its impact. On the other hand, if the movable plate 21 slides, the movable plates 21 located on both sides of the ball 10 slide in the same direction. Then, the movable plate 21 slides in the circumferential direction of the ball 10. Accordingly, even if the movable plate 21 slides, the limiting protrusions 17 located on both sides of the ball 10 will be spaced at a predetermined spacing. Therefore, the limiting protrusion 17 will not escape from the guide groove 11 of the ball 10.

[0086] According to this, in this embodiment, since the guide groove 11 is formed in the ball 10 and the limiting protrusion 17 is inserted into the guide groove 11, the rotation around the axis of the first support frame 25 can be limited. Therefore, if a wind turbine generator or the like is provided on the first support frame 25, the axis of the wind turbine generator can be prevented from rotating due to wind. Of course, in this case, the rotatable movable plate 21 can move in the circumferential direction of the ball 10.

[0087] In addition, if the rotation restriction protrusion 17 is further advanced, the restriction protrusion 17 is rotated and inserted into the interior of the fixing groove 13. In this case, the restriction ball 10 is rotated in other directions and can only rotate around the axis of the restriction protrusion 17.

[0088] Figure 6 It is another embodiment of the floating water support device of the present invention. Figure 6 An example is in Figure 1The embodiment further includes a blocking cover 45. The blocking cover 45 is mounted on the first floating part 16, thereby preventing water from flowing into the ball 10. The blocking cover 45 can be formed of a soft material that is deformable when the first floating part 16 is shaken.

[0089] Figure 7 These are other embodiments of the floating water support device of the present invention.

[0090] Figures 1 to 4 The embodiment has a limiting protrusion 17 and a fixing member 20 for limiting the rotation of the ball 10. Figure 7 In another embodiment, the limiting protrusion 18 is formed into a ball shape and inserted into the guide groove 11 to limit the rotation of the ball 10. In this case, the fixing groove 13 is not required in the ball 10, but a groove that can accommodate the limiting protrusion 18 is formed in the first floating part 16. Since the limiting protrusion 18 is accommodated in the first floating part 16, the fixing member 20 is also not required. On the other hand, in order to reduce the friction between the ball 10 and the first floating part 16, the bearing 19 supporting the ball 10 can be installed in the first floating part 16.

[0091] Figure 8 These are other embodiments of the floating water support device of the present invention.

[0092] Figure 8 The floating water support device comprises a ball 10, a floating unit, a second support frame 26 and a first central hammer 40. The ball 10 and the floating unit are Figures 1 to 5 Therefore, the floating unit has a first floating part 16, such as Figure 1 The ball 10 is restricted by the restriction protrusion 17 and the fixing member 20 in the first floating portion 16 or as Figure 7 It can be limited by the limiting protrusion 18.

[0093] with Figure 1 As in the embodiment shown, the second support frame 26 is coupled to the ball 10 in such a manner that one end is exposed to the outside of the first floating part 16 and the other end is accommodated in the inside of the first floating part 16. A structure such as a wind turbine can be mounted on one end of the second support frame 26. At this time, the other end of the second support frame 26 forms a groove that can surround the upper part of the second center hammer 130, so that the first center hammer 40 cannot be separated. In addition, the groove at the other end of the second support frame 26 forms a spherical surface, so that it can be supported by the first center hammer 40.

[0094] The first center weight 40 plays a role in vertically erecting the second support frame 26. To this end, it is rollably placed on the spherical portion 16c of the first floating portion 16, and is located in the groove of the second support frame 26 to support the second support frame 26. Here, the first center weight 40 supports the second support frame 26 through the bearing 19, so that the friction with the second support frame 26 can be minimized. Since the first center weight 40 can roll on the spherical portion 16c, it is always located at the lowest point of the spherical portion 16c. If the second support frame 26 is tilted, the first center weight 40 is restricted by the second support frame 26, so the first center weight 40 rises. However, due to the weight of the first center weight 40, the first center weight 40 moves to the lowest point of the spherical portion 16c, and the first center weight 40 presses the second support frame 26, so the second support frame 26 is erected. According to this, the second support frame 26 is always vertically erected by the first center weight 40.

[0095] Fig. 9 These are other embodiments of the floating water support device of the present invention.

[0096] Fig. 9 An example is in Figure 8 Based on the embodiment, the second support frame 26 passes through the ball 10 and is slidably mounted on the ball 10. Figures 1 to 8 The embodiment is that the center of the ball 10 should be consistent with the center of the spherical portion 16c of the first floating portion 16, but Fig. 9 The embodiment does not require the center of the ball 10 to be consistent with the center of the spherical surface 16c.

[0097] Figures 10 to 12 This is another embodiment of the floating water support device of the present invention. Figures 10 to 12 , describing other embodiments of the floating water support device.

[0098] The floating water support device of the present invention includes a floating unit, a support unit 120 , a second center hammer 130 and a mounting seat 140 .

[0099] The floating unit has a second floating part 115. The second floating part 115 is the same as the above-mentioned embodiment, with a receiving portion 119 formed inside and a spherical portion 118 formed on the bottom 117. However, a through hole 116a is formed in the upper part 116, through which the mounting seat 140 can penetrate.

[0100] The support unit 120 includes an upper support frame 121 and a lower support frame 123, and is installed in the receiving portion 119 of the second floating portion 115. The upper support frame 121 is coupled to the upper portion 116 of the second floating portion 115. To this end, the upper end of the upper support frame 121 is formed of a support plate 119a, and is coupled to the upper portion 116 so that the support plate 119a spans the through hole 116a. The upper end of the lower support frame 123 is coupled to the lower end of the upper support frame 121 through a universal joint 124. Therefore, the upper support frame 121 can rotate forward, backward, left, and right relative to the lower support frame 123. A groove is formed at the lower portion of the lower support frame 123, which can surround the upper portion of the second center weight 130, thereby preventing the second center weight 130 from detaching. At this time, the groove at the lower portion of the lower support frame 123 can form a spherical surface, thereby being supported by the second center weight 130.

[0101] The second center weight 130 plays a role in vertically erecting the lower support frame 123. To this end, the second center weight 130 is rollably placed on the spherical portion 118 of the second floating portion 115 and is located in the groove of the lower support frame 123 to support the lower support frame 123. Here, the second center weight 130 supports the lower support frame 123 through the bearing 131, so that the friction with the lower support frame 123 can be minimized. The second center weight 130 can roll on the spherical portion 118, so it is always located at the lowest point of the spherical portion 118. If the lower support frame 123 is tilted, the second center weight 130 is restricted by the lower support frame 123, so the second center weight 130 rises. However, due to the weight of the second center weight 130, the second center weight 130 moves to the lowest point of the spherical portion 118, and the second center weight 130 presses the lower support frame 123, so the lower support frame 123 is erected. Accordingly, the lower support frame 123 is always vertically erected by the second center weight 130 .

[0102] The mounting seat 140 is exposed to the upper part of the floating unit so that a structure such as a wind turbine generator can be mounted on the upper part, and the through hole 116a penetrating the second floating part 115 is combined with the lower support frame 123. Accordingly, the mounting seat 140 is integrated with the lower support frame 123, and thus can maintain the same angle as the lower support frame 123. Therefore, if the lower support frame 123 is erected, the mounting seat 140 is also erected. If a structure is mounted on the mounting seat 140, a part of the load acting on the mounting seat 140 is transferred to the upper part 116 of the second floating part 115, and the remaining load is supported by the second center weight 130. Therefore, in the case of this embodiment, the load of the structure is also dispersed to the upper and lower parts of the second floating part 115.

[0103] In the present embodiment, the upper support frame 121 and the lower support frame 123 are connected by a universal joint 124, so the upper support frame 121 can rotate forward and backward or left and right relative to the lower support frame 123. Fig.12 As shown, the second floating part 115 sways forward and backward or left and right. Even if the second floating part 115 sways forward and backward or left and right, the second center weight 130 is located at the lowest point of the spherical part 118 by its own weight. Since the second center weight 130 is restricted to the lower support frame 123, the lower support frame 123 will stand vertically and will not sway forward and backward or left and right. Therefore, in the case of this embodiment, the mounting seat 140 is also vertically erected, so if the wind turbine is installed with the mounting seat 140, it can be kept vertical without being affected by waves.

[0104] Fig.13 These are other embodiments of the floating water support device of the present invention.

[0105] Fig.13 The floating water support device shown includes a floating unit, a support unit 120 , a support seat unit 30 and a mounting seat 140 .

[0106] and Fig.10 The same as the embodiment shown, the floating unit has a second floating portion 115. The supporting unit 120 has an upper supporting frame 121 and a lower supporting frame 123. Fig.10 The upper support frame 121 and the lower support frame 123 are connected by a universal joint. However, in the present embodiment, the lower support frame 123 and the Figure 1 The first support frame 25 of the embodiment shown is the same, and the upper end is heavier than the lower end. Therefore, the lower support frame 123 is vertically erected by its own weight. Figure 1 The illustrated embodiment is the same, and the spherical portion of the second floating portion 115 is in rolling contact with the lower support frame 123 .

[0107] Mounting seat 140 and Fig.10 The embodiments shown are identical.

[0108] Therefore, in this embodiment, even if the first floating part 16 sways forward and backward or left and right, the lower support frame 123 can stand vertically by its own weight and distribute the load acting on the mounting seat 140 to the upper and lower parts of the second floating part 115 .

[0109] Fig.14 These are other embodiments of the floating water support device of the present invention.

[0110] Fig.14 The embodiment shown is in Fig.10In the illustrated embodiment, the support unit 120 can be slid up and down on the upper portion 116 of the second floating portion 115. To this end, the second floating portion 115 has a guide 114 on the upper portion 116, and the upper support frame 121 can be slid up and down along the guide 114. Fig.10 In the illustrated embodiment, the upper support frame 121 is fixedly coupled to the upper portion 116 of the second floating portion 115 , but in this embodiment, the upper support frame 121 is placed on the upper portion 116 of the second floating portion 115 , and the guide 114 restricts the upper support frame 121 to slide only up and down.
