Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power generation device technology, and particularly relates to an ocean wave power generation device. Background Technology

[0002] 71% of the Earth's surface is covered by oceans. These boundless seas provide humanity with shipping, seafood, and abundant mineral resources, and also hold immense energy potential—ocean energy. As land resources become increasingly scarce, human activities are extending further into the ocean, accelerating the rise of the marine economy. Extending power supply equipment from land to specific marine areas, such as coastlines far from towns or isolated offshore islands, requires enormous human and material resources. Therefore, developing a system for locally generating electricity in near-shore and offshore economic areas is essential.

[0003] In existing technologies, float-type wave power generation devices generally use a single-action ratchet mechanism to convert the potential energy of wave undulations. The ratchet can only be driven by one wave undulation as one cycle. During this process, some time is ineffective, and the potential energy of the wave cannot be fully utilized. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an ocean wave power generation device, which aims to solve the problem that in the prior art, float-type wave power generation devices generally use a single-action ratchet mechanism to convert the potential energy of wave undulations. The ratchet can only be driven by one wave undulation as one cycle. In this process, because part of the time is ineffective, the potential energy of the wave cannot be fully utilized.

[0005] The present invention is implemented as follows: an ocean wave power generation device includes a mounting bracket, and further includes:

[0006] The first power generation mechanism is mounted on a mounting bracket. The first power generation mechanism includes a first generator and a rotating wheel. The rotating wheels are symmetrically arranged on the mounting bracket, and a set of rotating wheels is arranged on each side of the first generator. A mounting belt is connected between the two sets of rotating wheels, and the rotating wheels are sleeved on the first generator.

[0007] The second power generation mechanism includes a mounting box, a swing block, and power generation wheels. Two mounting boxes are provided and are symmetrically mounted on two mounting belts on both sides of the first generator. The second generator is installed in the mounting box, and the two second generators are installed opposite each other. A power generation wheel is fixed on the rotating shaft of each of the two second generators. The two ends of the swing block are respectively mounted on one of the second generators, and the swing block is rotatably connected to the second generator. The swing block is driven by two sets of ratchet assemblies to drive the two power generation wheels to rotate in opposite directions.

[0008] In a further technical solution, the ratchet assembly includes a rotating plate and ratchet teeth. The rotating plate is rotatably mounted on the second generator and is connected to the swing block via a transmission assembly. The ratchet teeth are arranged in a ring on the inner wall of the generator wheel, and the limiting directions of the ratchet teeth in the two sets of ratchet assemblies are opposite. A locking rod matching the ratchet teeth is installed at each end of the rotating plate.

[0009] In a further technical solution, a torsion spring is installed at the connection between the locking rod and the rotating plate.

[0010] A further technical solution is characterized in that the transmission assembly includes a mounting plate and a third gear. The mounting plate is mounted on a mounting box, and a first gear and a second gear are mounted on the mounting plate. The first gear meshes with the second gear, and the swing block is provided with internal teeth that mesh with the first gear. A fourth gear is coaxially mounted on the second gear. The third gear is rotatably mounted on a second generator, and the third gear is fixedly connected to a rotating plate. The fourth gear meshes with the third gear.

[0011] In a further technical solution, the mounting plate is set close to the swing block, and the side wall of the swing block is slidably mounted on the mounting plate. The mounting plate is also provided with a limiting groove to limit the swing amplitude of the swing block.

[0012] In a further technical solution, the swing block is also equipped with a balancing component that drives the swing block to reset by converting elastic potential energy and kinetic energy into each other.

[0013] In a further technical solution, the balancing component includes a mounting groove formed in the swing block, two push plates are symmetrically installed in the mounting groove, the two push plates are respectively connected to one end of the mounting groove by springs, and a plurality of balancing balls are installed between the two push plates.

[0014] This invention provides an ocean wave power generation device that fully utilizes the horizontal and vertical kinetic energy of waves. First, the waves impact the mounting box, causing it to move horizontally. This movement, in turn, drives the mounting belt, which in turn rotates a wheel, thus powering a first generator. Simultaneously, the wave's undulations cause a oscillating block to swing. This block, via a ratchet assembly, drives two generator wheels to rotate in opposite directions, which in turn power a second generator. This ensures that the oscillating block generates electricity regardless of the direction of its swing, effectively improving wave utilization. This device effectively converts the kinetic energy generated by waves into electricity, and the combination of these two mechanisms enhances power generation efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0024] The specific implementation of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0025] like Figure 1-5 As shown, an ocean wave power generation device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a mounting bracket 1, and further includes:

[0026] The first power generation mechanism 2 is mounted on the mounting bracket 1. The first power generation mechanism 2 includes a first generator 21 and a rotating wheel 22. The rotating wheel 22 is symmetrically arranged on the mounting bracket 1, and a set of rotating wheels 22 is respectively arranged on both sides of the first generator 21. The two sets of rotating wheels 22 are connected by a mounting belt 23. The rotating wheel 22 is sleeved on the first generator 21.

[0027] The second power generation mechanism 3 includes a mounting box 31, a swing block 33, and a power generation wheel 34. Two mounting boxes 31 are provided and are symmetrically mounted on two mounting belts 23 on both sides of the first generator 21. A second generator 32 is installed in the mounting box 31 and the two second generators 32 are mounted opposite each other. A power generation wheel 34 is fixed on the rotating shaft of each of the two second generators 32. The two ends of the swing block 33 are respectively mounted on one of the second generators 32, and the swing block 33 is rotatably connected to the second generator 32. The swing block 33 is connected to the two power generation wheels 34 through two sets of ratchet assemblies 5. The swing block 33 drives the two power generation wheels 34 to rotate in opposite directions through the two sets of ratchet assemblies 5.

[0028] In this embodiment of the invention, the device can fully utilize the horizontal and vertical kinetic energy of the waves during use. Simultaneously, considering the installation of the mounting bracket 1, a dedicated area for equipment installation can be pre-set in a designated sea area, where a fixed bracket can be pre-installed to facilitate the later installation of the mounting bracket 1. First, the waves impact the mounting box 31, causing it to move horizontally. This movement, in turn, drives the mounting belt 23, which in turn rotates the wheel 22, thereby powering the first generator 21 to generate electricity. Simultaneously, the wave's undulations cause the oscillating block 33 to oscillate. The oscillating block 33, via the ratchet assembly 5, drives two generator wheels 34 to rotate in opposite directions. These generator wheels 34 then power the second generator 32, ensuring that the oscillating block 33 generates electricity regardless of the direction of its oscillation with the waves, effectively improving the utilization rate of the waves.

[0029] like Figure 3 , 5 As shown in Figure 6, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the ratchet assembly 5 includes a rotating plate 51 and ratchet teeth 52. The rotating plate 51 is rotatably mounted on the second generator 32, and the rotating plate 51 is connected to the swing block 33 via a transmission assembly 4. The ratchet teeth 52 are arranged in a ring on the inner wall of the generator wheel 34, and the limiting directions of the ratchet teeth 52 in the two sets of ratchet assemblies 5 are opposite. A locking rod 53 matching the ratchet teeth 52 is installed at each end of the rotating plate 51.

[0030] In this embodiment of the invention, a torsion spring is installed at the connection between the locking rod 53 and the rotating plate 51. The torsion spring ensures that the locking rod 53 located above will not disengage from the ratchet 52 due to gravity. The swing block 33 drives the rotating plate 51 to swing back and forth through the transmission assembly 4. Under the cooperation of the ratchet 52 and the locking rod 53, the rotating plate 51 can drive the generator wheel 34 to rotate in one direction. At the same time, by setting the limiting directions of the ratchet 52 in the two sets of ratchet assemblies 5 to be opposite, it can be ensured that the swing block 33 can generate electricity regardless of which direction it swings back and forth with the waves, effectively improving the utilization rate of the waves.

[0031] like Figure 3-5 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the transmission assembly 4 includes a mounting plate 41 and a third gear 44. The mounting plate 41 is mounted on the mounting box 31. A first gear 42 and a second gear 43 are mounted on the mounting plate 41. The first gear 42 meshes with the second gear 43. The swing block 33 is provided with internal teeth that mesh with the first gear 42. A fourth gear 45 is coaxially mounted on the second gear 43. The third gear 44 is rotatably mounted on the second generator 32 and is fixedly connected to the rotating plate 51. The fourth gear 45 meshes with the third gear 44.

[0032] In this embodiment of the invention, during use, the swing block 33 drives the first gear 42 to rotate during the swing process. The first gear 42 drives the fourth gear 45 to rotate through the second gear 43. The fourth gear 45 drives the third gear 44 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating plate 51 to rotate synchronously by the third gear 44.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention (not shown in the accompanying drawings), the mounting plate 41 is disposed close to the swing block 33, and the side wall of the swing block 33 is slidably mounted on the mounting plate 41. At the same time, a cover that cooperates with the mounting plate 41 is provided on the upper part of the device. The mounting plate 41, the swing block 33 and the cover cooperate with each other to form a sealed cavity, in which the various components of the transmission assembly 4 (except for the mounting plate 41) and the ratchet assembly 5 are installed, thereby reducing the corrosion of the device by seawater.

[0034] In this embodiment of the invention, the mounting plate 41 is also provided with a limiting groove to limit the swing amplitude of the swing block 33, which can prevent the mounting box 31 from overturning due to excessive swing angle when the waves are too large, thus preventing the device from working properly.

[0035] like Figure 7As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the swing block 33 is further equipped with a balancing component 6 that drives the swing block 33 to reset by converting elastic potential energy and kinetic energy into each other.

[0036] In this embodiment of the invention, the balancing component 6 includes a mounting groove 61 formed in the swing block 33. Two push plates 63 are symmetrically mounted in the mounting groove 61. The two push plates 63 are respectively connected to one end of the mounting groove 61 by springs 64. A plurality of balancing balls 62 are installed between the two push plates 63. In use, as the swing block 33 swings, the balancing balls 62 roll in the mounting groove 61. The balancing balls 62 push the springs 64 through the push plates 63 to compress them. As the elastic potential energy of the springs 64 accumulates, the springs 64 can act in the opposite direction on the balancing balls 62, thereby providing a reverse force to assist the swing block 33 in resetting.

[0037] Working Principle: In use, the device can fully utilize the horizontal and vertical kinetic energy of waves. First, the waves impact the mounting box 31, causing it to move horizontally. This movement, in turn, drives the mounting belt 23, which in turn rotates the wheel 22, thereby powering the first generator 21 to generate electricity. Simultaneously, the wave's undulations cause the oscillating block 33 to swing. The oscillating block 33, via the ratchet assembly 5, drives two generator wheels 34 to rotate in opposite directions. These wheels, in turn, power the second generator 32, ensuring that the oscillating block 33 generates electricity regardless of the direction of its swing, effectively improving the utilization rate of the waves.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
