[0011] Furthermore, the guiding support bevel on the second guide rail is in a hyperbolic shape.
[0012] Furthermore, the elastic support member includes a pressure spring, and two ends of the pressure spring are respectively against or connected to two pressure plates.

[0068] See also Figures 1 to 7The present invention provides a wave power generation device 1, comprising a shell 10, a suspension body 12, an output part 14 and a suspension support system. The shell 10 is provided with a closed working cavity 100; the suspension body 12 is arranged in the working cavity 100 of the shell 10 and can move up and down relatively in the working cavity 100; the output part 14 comprises a generator 144 and an output transmission mechanism, the output transmission mechanism is partially located in the working cavity 100 and is connected to the suspension body 12 and the generator 144, the output transmission mechanism is used to convert the up and down movement of the suspension body 12 into the movement of the generator 144, wherein the position where the output transmission mechanism passes through the shell 10 needs to be sealed to ensure that the working cavity 100 in the shell 10 It is closed; the suspension support system is arranged in the working inner cavity 100, and the suspension support system has an elastic support member 131, which is connected to the suspension body 12 and is used to support the suspension body 12, and the elastic support member 131 is in an elastic energy storage state, and the elastic force provided by the elastic support member 131 is used to directly or indirectly serve as a supporting force to support the suspension body 12. Specifically, if the elastic force provided by the elastic support member 131 is vertical, it can be directly used as a supporting force to support the suspension body 12. The elastic force provided by the elastic support member 131 can also be horizontal or slightly inclined to the horizontal direction. At this time, it can be converted into a vertical supporting force to support the suspension body 12 through other structures in the suspension support system. When the suspension body 12 moves relatively downward in the working inner cavity 100, the elastic support member 131 of the suspension support part 13 further stores energy.
[0069] The basic working principle of the wave power generation device 1 of the present invention is as follows: the wave power generation device 1 is placed on the water surface, the housing 10 floats on the water surface, and when there are no waves, the suspension body 12 remains relatively still in the housing 10, and the support force provided by the suspension support system is equal to the weight of the suspension body 12, so that the suspension body 12 is suspended in the working cavity. When the waves rise and lift up the housing 10, due to the inertia, the suspension body 12 moves relatively downward in the working inner cavity 100, and at this time, the elastic support member 131 in the suspension support system further stores energy, stores part of the kinetic energy of the suspension body 12, and the support force of the suspension support system on the suspension body 12 is also increased. When the waves fall, the shell 10 falls, and under the elastic support force of the suspension support system, the suspension body 12 moves upward relatively in the working inner cavity 100 of the shell 10, and the elastic energy storage of the elastic support member 131 is released, continuously driving the suspension body 12 to move upward relatively. Therefore, under the action of the waves, the suspension body 12 can vibrate up and down in the working inner cavity 100 of the shell 10, capturing the wave energy as the kinetic energy of the suspension body, and then converting the up and down movement of the suspension body 12 into the movement of the generator 144 through the output transmission mechanism, thereby converting the kinetic energy of the suspension body 12 into electrical energy. Among them, the conveying part 14 is installed on the shell 10, and the generator 144 is fixed to the shell 10. The generator 144 can be fixedly installed on the shell 10 and can move up and down with the shell 10.
[0070] The wave power generation device 1 of the present invention adopts a completely different method from the traditional wave power generation. It no longer uses the movement of the shell 10 as a float to generate electricity, but adopts the reverse oscillation method, using the shell 10 as the oscillating body to oscillate under the action of seawater. By setting the suspension body 12 and the suspension support system, the shell 10 and the suspension body 12 are made to produce relative movement to complete wave energy capture through the inertial characteristics of the suspension body 12, and the kinetic energy of the relative oscillation movement of the suspension body 12 in the shell 10 is used to generate electricity. The elastic support 131 in the suspension support system can store the kinetic energy generated during the relative movement of the suspension body 12 and the shell 10, thereby improving the wave energy capture efficiency and thus improving the power generation efficiency. The entire wave power generation device can float on the water surface and does not need to be fixed to the seabed by anchoring, saving a lot of anchoring costs and installation and deployment costs. Furthermore, since the working inner cavity 100 of the shell 10 is closed, the suspension body 12 and the suspension support system are both arranged in the working inner cavity 100, and the mechanical action is completed inside the shell 10, and will not come into contact with the water outside the shell 10, thereby preventing the components of the working inner cavity 100 from being corroded by the water, thereby improving the service life of the entire device and solving the working instability and safety problems caused by the mechanical structure contacting seawater.
[0071] In the present invention, the housing 10 can be a stainless steel housing, a resin housing with high strength and high corrosion resistance, or a housing made of other types of high strength and high corrosion resistance materials. Reasonable selection and design can be made according to actual needs, as long as the high strength and high corrosion resistance characteristics can be achieved. Wave power generation devices are generally set up on the sea surface to generate electricity, and of course they can also be set up in other waters such as lakes.
[0072] See also Figures 1 to 7 The present invention is further described below with a specific preferred embodiment:
[0073] In this embodiment, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As a preferred design, the suspension support system includes an internal bracket 11 and a suspension support portion 13. The internal bracket 11 includes at least two second guide rails 111 arranged opposite to each other. The second guide rails 111 are fixed in the housing 10, specifically fixed on the transverse plate 112. For the convenience of description, the left and right direction is taken as the width direction of the housing 10 ( Figures 1 to 4 In the X direction in the embodiment, there are four second guide rails 111, two on the left side and two on the right side, which are arranged opposite to each other. The second guide rails 111 are provided with guiding support bevels 111A extending in the height direction on the opposite inner sides, see Figure 3That is, a guide support bevel 111A is provided on the right side of the second guide rail 111 on the left side, and the guide support bevel 111A is inclined from the upper left to the lower right, and a guide support bevel 111A is provided on the left side of the second guide rail 111 on the right side, and the guide support bevel 111A is inclined from the upper right to the lower left, so that the distance between the guide support bevels 111A of the two opposite second guide rails 111 on the left and right gradually narrows from top to bottom; the suspension support part 13 includes a support frame 132, two The two pressing plates 130 are arranged opposite to each other on the left and right sides, and the elastic support member 131 is arranged between the two pressing plates 130. The two pressing plates 130 can be installed on the support frame 132 so as to be movable linearly left and right. The two pressing plates 130 are respectively arranged on the guiding support bevels 111A of the two opposite second guide rails 111, that is, the left pressing plate 130 is arranged on the guiding support bevels 111A of the left second guide rail 111, and the right pressing plate 130 is arranged on the guiding support bevels 111A of the right second guide rail 111. In this embodiment, see Figure 4 The elastic support member 131 adopts two pressure springs. The pressure springs can select suitable elastic coefficients. The two ends of the pressure springs are respectively abutted or connected to the left and right pressure plates 130. The pressure spring has a simple structure, is easy to install, and has low cost. Multiple pressure springs can be arranged between the two pressure plates 130, which can increase the service life of the entire device. Of course, the elastic support member 131 can also adopt spring sheets, or elastic air bags, air cushions and other structures that can provide elastic force and store energy. In this embodiment, the suspension support part 13 is arranged on the upper side of the suspension body 12. Of course, it can also be arranged on the lower side of the suspension body 12.
[0074] When the above suspension support system is used, the elastic force provided by the elastic support member 131 provides a lateral elastic force to the pressure plates 130 on both sides during operation, so that the pressure plates 130 are pressed against the guiding support bevel 111A, and the guiding support bevel 111A provides an upward support force to the suspension support portion 13, supporting the suspension support portion 13, so that the suspension support portion 13 can support the suspension body 12. When the suspension body 12 moves downward relative to the shell 10, it drives the suspension support portion 13 to move downward synchronously, and the left and right pressure plates 130 move downward along the guiding support bevel 111A of the second guide rail 111 on the left and right sides, respectively, and gradually approach each other, and the pressure spring is further compressed to further store energy. When the elastic force of the pressure spring is released, it will push the left and right pressure plates 130 to move in the left and right directions to separate the two sides, and the pressure plate 130 will move upward along the guiding support bevel 111A, so that the suspension support portion 13 drives the suspension body 12 to move upward. The use of such a suspension support system can ensure that the suspension body 12 can stably and reliably move up and down relative to the housing 10 in the internal bracket 11, and improve the conversion efficiency of the suspension body 12 to kinetic energy. At the same time, the suspension support part 13 is arranged along the width direction of the housing 10, which can reduce the space occupied by the suspension support part 13 in the housing 10, and can make the whole device smaller, which is more conducive to the miniaturization of the wave power generation device 1.
[0075] In this embodiment, see Figure 3 Furthermore, the guiding support bevel 111A on the second guide rail 111 is in a hyperbolic shape, so that the linear response relationship between the lateral displacement of the pressure plate 130 in the suspension support part 13 and the vertical displacement of the suspension body 12 is changed to an arc response relationship along the hyperbola, and the stroke of the suspension body 12 is increased under the same inertial acceleration, and the gravity response sensitivity of the suspension body 12 is increased, so that the suspension body 12 can also move relative to the shell 10 when the waves are very small, thereby improving the conversion efficiency of the suspension body 12 to kinetic energy. In other embodiments, the guiding support bevel 111A can also be in other shapes, such as a straight line shape, a parabolic slide rail, an involute slide rail, etc., which can be reasonably set according to actual needs.
[0076] In this embodiment, see Figure 3 and Figure 4, further preferably, the support frame 132 of the suspension support part 13 includes two support plates 133 and a support rod 134 located between the two support plates 133, the two support plates 133 are respectively fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the suspension body 12, there are two support rods 134, and they are arranged extending in the left and right directions, the two pressing plates 130 are both installed on the support rods 134 through through holes, and can move left and right along the support rods 134, and the pressure spring is sleeved on the support rods 134. The above-mentioned support frame 132 has a simple structure, and the support rods 134 can guide and constrain the movement of the pressing plates 130 and constrain the position of the pressure spring to prevent the pressure spring from loosening, thereby ensuring stable and reliable operation of the entire device.
[0077] In this embodiment, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 Further preferably, the suspension body 12 is also provided with a third guide rail 121 extending in a straight line along the left and right directions, and the two pressure plates 130 in the suspension support part 13 are both mounted on the third guide rail 121 and move along the third guide rail 121, and a guide roller 136 is provided on the pressure plate 130, and the guide roller 136 cooperates with the third guide rail 121 to reduce friction, thereby reducing energy loss, and the movement of the pressure plate 130 is further guided and constrained by the third guide rail 121 to ensure that it moves stably and smoothly to the left and right.
[0078] In this embodiment, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 Preferably, a compression roller 135 is provided on the pressure plate 130 in the thickness direction of the housing 10 (i.e., the front-to-back direction, such as Figures 1 to 4 In the Y direction), compression rollers 135 are provided on the front and rear sides of the pressure plate 130, and the pressure plate 130 is installed on the supporting bevel through the compression rollers 135. When the pressure plate 130 moves along the supporting bevel, the compression rollers 135 roll on the supporting bevel, making the movement smoother and reducing friction, thereby reducing the kinetic energy loss of the suspension body 12.
[0079] In this embodiment, see Figure 3 and Figure 4As a preferred design, the internal bracket 11 also includes a first guide rail 110 extending vertically along the height direction of the shell 10. There are four first guide rails 110, which are fixed at the four corners of the shell 10 respectively. The suspension body 12 cooperates with the first guide rails 110 and performs lifting and lowering motion under the guidance of the first guide rails 110, thereby ensuring that the relative vertical linear motion of the suspension body 12 in the shell 10 is stable and reliable, and avoiding shaking and causing collision or friction with the inner wall of the shell 10. Further, the suspension body 12 is provided with lifting rollers 120. There are four lifting rollers 120, which are respectively arranged at the four corners of the suspension body 12, front, back, left, and right. The four lifting rollers 120 cooperate with the four first guide rails 110 respectively, which can reduce the friction between the first guide rails 110 and reduce the kinetic energy loss of the suspension body 12.
[0080] In this embodiment, when the suspension body 12 is in a relatively static state in the working inner cavity 100, that is, when the support force provided by the suspension support system to the suspension body 12 is equal to the gravity of the suspension body 12, the suspension body 12 is located at the midpoint of the first guide rail 110 in the height direction (e.g. Figure 5 The suspension body 12 is located at the middle position of the working inner cavity 100 of the shell 10 in the height direction. In the moving state, the suspension body 12 can move up and down along the first guide rail 110 through the midpoint position. That is, in the static state, on the one hand, according to the gravity of the suspension body 12 itself, and on the other hand, by adjusting the state of the suspension support part 13, the suspension body 12 can be located at the midpoint position of the first guide rail 110. When the suspension body 12 is at the midpoint position of the first guide rail 110, no matter whether the suspension body 12 moves upward or downward along the first guide rail 110, the suspension body 12 can pass through the midpoint position and continuously output power through the output part 14, thereby improving the conversion efficiency of the kinetic energy of the suspension body 12.
[0081] Of course, the suspension support part 13 is not limited to the specific form in this embodiment. In other embodiments, the suspension support part 13 may also be in other forms. In addition, the suspension support system is not limited to the form of the second guide rail 111 and the suspension support part 13. In other embodiments, other structures may also be used. The suspension support system may be directly set at the bottom of the suspension body 12, and the elastic force provided by the elastic support member 131 is vertical, directly serving as a supporting force, without the need to set a pressure plate 130 and a second guide rail 111 to convert the elastic force into a vertical supporting force. For example, the elastic support member 131 may adopt a vertical compression spring, the upper end of which is directly or indirectly connected to the suspension body 12. The compression spring is compressed, and the elastic force provided directly supports the suspension body 12. The elastic support member 131 may also adopt a vertical tension spring, which is connected to the upper end of the suspension body 12 to provide an upward elastic force. These methods can also achieve the corresponding functions, but the effect is lower than the suspension support system described above in this embodiment.
[0082] In this embodiment, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 As a preferred design, the output transmission mechanism includes a transmission belt 140 and a transmission gear set 15. The transmission belt 140 is installed on a supporting shaft 142, and the supporting shaft 142 is connected to the transmission gear set 15. The transmission belt 140 is connected to the suspension body 12. The suspension body 12 can drive the transmission belt 140 to move during the lifting process. The transmission belt 140 drives the supporting shaft 142 to rotate, and then the kinetic energy of the suspension body 12 is transmitted to the generator 144 through the dynamic gear set 15. Specifically, see Figure 5 As shown, the vertical section of the transmission belt 140 is fixedly connected to the suspension body 12 through the connecting plate 141, and the transmission belt 140 is installed on one side of the interior of the housing 10 through three supporting shafts 142. Of course, the supporting shafts 142 can also be other numbers. When the suspension body 12 moves up and down under the first guide rail 110 (such as Figure 5 When the suspension body 12 moves up and down, the transmission belt 140 drives the three support shafts 142 to rotate. The support shafts 142 are converted into the rotation of the generator 144 through the transmission gear set 15, and the suspension body 12 can be moved up and down in the center position (as shown in the V direction). Figure 5 The two reverse half-torques generated above and below the suspension body 12 (as shown in the C position) are converted into full-width unidirectional torques and continuously output through the transmission gear set 15, so that the kinetic energy generated during the up and down movement of the suspension body 12 can be converted into torque output, realizing the two-way capture of wave energy and greatly improving the energy conversion efficiency.
[0083] In this embodiment, specifically, the transmission gear set 15 includes an input shaft 157 and an output shaft 158. The input shaft 157 is fixedly connected to the supporting rotating shaft 142. The input shaft 157 and the supporting rotating shaft 142 can also be an integral shaft. The output shaft 158 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the generator 144. The transmission gear set 15 also includes a first driving gear 150, a first driven gear 151, a second driving gear 152, a second driven gear 154 and a transition gear 153, wherein the first driving gear 150 and the second driving gear 152 are arranged on the input shaft 157 at intervals through a one-way bearing 156, the first driven gear 151 and the second driven gear 154 are arranged on the output shaft 158 at intervals, and are both fixedly connected to the output shaft 158, the first driving gear 150 is meshed with the first driven gear 151, the transition gear 153 is installed on the transition shaft 155, and is arranged between the second driving gear 152 and the second driven gear 154, and keeps meshing with both, the second driving gear 152 can transmit power to the second driven gear 154 through the transition gear 153, and the transition gear 153 is arranged on the transition shaft 155. When the suspension body 12 drives the transmission belt 140 to move, the transmission belt 140 can transmit power to the input shaft 157 through the support shaft 142, and the input torque can cause the input shaft 157 to rotate.
[0084] When the input torque is positive, that is, the input shaft 157 rotates in the positive direction, the one-way bearing 156 of the first driving gear 150 is in a locked state, that is, the input shaft 157 drives the first driving gear 150 to rotate synchronously through the one-way bearing 156, and the one-way bearing 156 of the second driving gear 152 is in a free state, that is, the second driving gear 152 rotates idly on the input shaft 157, and the first driving gear 150 drives the first driven gear 151 to rotate through meshing, thereby driving the output shaft 158 to rotate synchronously to output reverse torque to the outside, and the output shaft 158 drives the generator 144 to work, so that the kinetic energy of the suspension body 12 is converted into electrical energy of the generator 144. When the input torque is in the reverse direction, that is, the input shaft 157 rotates in the reverse direction, the one-way bearing 156 of the second driving gear 152 is in a locked state, that is, the input shaft 157 drives the second driving gear 152 to rotate synchronously through the one-way bearing 156, and the one-way bearing 156 of the first driving gear 150 is in a free state, that is, the first driving gear 150 is idling on the input shaft 157, and the second driving gear 152 drives the second driven gear 154 to rotate in the reverse direction through the transition gear 153, thereby driving the output shaft 158 to rotate in the reverse direction synchronously to output the reverse torque to the outside, and the output shaft 158 drives the generator 144 to work. In summary, no matter whether the input shaft 157 rotates in the forward direction or the reverse direction, the output shaft 158 drives the generator 144 to rotate in one direction, so that the kinetic energy of the suspension body 12 can be fully converted into electrical energy on the generator 144, achieving full-range output of wave energy, and improving the energy conversion efficiency of the wave power generation device 1. In addition, the output speed and torque can be preset by adjusting the number of teeth of the first driving gear 150 and the first driven gear 151 , and the number of teeth of the second driving gear 152 and the second driven gear 154 according to the load speed and load requirements of the output torque end.
[0085] Of course, the transmission gear set 15 is not limited to the above-mentioned specific structure, and the output transmission mechanism of the present invention is not limited to the form of cooperation between the above-mentioned transmission belt 140 and the transmission gear set 15. Other existing suitable mechanisms can also be used to convert the up and down movement of the suspension body 12 into the torque of the generator 144.
[0086] As a preferred design, in this embodiment, an energy storage transmission mechanism is further provided between the output shaft 158 and the generator 144. The energy storage mechanism includes a volute spring 172. The number and elastic parameters of the volute spring 172 can be set according to specific circumstances. Since the waves are non-uniform, the up and down movement of the suspension body 12 is also non-continuously uniform, and the rotation of the output shaft 158 is also non-continuously uniform. By providing the volute spring 172, the torque output by the output shaft 158 is first stored in the volute spring 172, and then output to the generator 144 by the volute spring 172. The kinetic energy of the output shaft 158 is continuously and more evenly transmitted to the generator 144 through the volute spring 172, thereby ensuring the power generation efficiency of the generator 144.
[0087] Preferably, the energy storage transmission mechanism may include a plurality of volute springs 172 with different torque magnitudes to form a progressive elastic potential energy storage system, further ensuring the power generation efficiency of the generator 144. Figure 7 The energy storage transmission mechanism includes a base 16 and at least two energy storage units 17. Each energy storage unit 17 includes a transmission gear 171, a spiral spring 172 and a gear shaft 173. The transmission gear 171 and the spiral spring 172 are concentrically sleeved on the gear shaft 173. The spiral spring 172 is arranged in the transmission gear 171. The outer end of the spiral spring 172 abuts against the gear, and the inner end of the spiral spring 172 abuts against the shaft. The gear shaft 173 of each energy storage unit 17 is arranged in parallel and rotatably arranged on the base 16 through a bearing. Adjacent energy storage units 17 are meshed with each other through their respective transmission gears 171. The number of teeth of the transmission gears 171 of each energy storage unit 17 is different, and increases monotonically along the meshing transmission direction of the transmission gear 171. The torque of the spiral spring 172 of each energy storage unit 17 is different and increases monotonically along the meshing transmission direction of the transmission gear 171. The gear shafts 173 of the energy storage units on the two sides are respectively fixedly connected to the generator 144 and the output shaft 158 of the transmission gear set 15. Multiple groups of energy storage units 17 are formed by using multiple groups of volute springs 172 with different torques and transmission gears 171 with different gear ratios, and mechanical energy is accumulated step by step to the upper level in a multiplied manner, thereby realizing the storage of multiplied mechanical energy. Adjusting the gear ratio and the volute spring 172 can increase the torque compression ratio of the front and rear volute springs 172 to obtain the storage of multiplied mechanical energy.
