[0024] The technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described.
[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the swaying nearshore wave energy generation device of this embodiment includes a column assembly, a support pipe 10, and a floating steel frame 12. The column assembly includes a column body 7, a rotating blade 3, and a spring 5. The column body 7 has a double-layer hollow structure. An air outlet 1 is reserved at the top of the column body 7. A vertical hollow sleeve 6 is installed at the center inside the column body 7. The top of the hollow sleeve 6 is fixed to the column by a rectangular bar 4. A spring 5 is installed below the rectangular bar 4. The other end of the spring 5 is fixed to a piston plate 8. A second coil and a second permanent magnet 9 for generating electricity are installed at the bottom inside the hollow sleeve 6. The support pipe 10 runs through the hollow sleeve 6. The bottom end of the support pipe 10 is fixed to the seabed. The top end of the support pipe 10 extends out of the hollow sleeve 6 and is equipped with a rotating blade 3. The rotating blade 3 is located below the air outlet 1. A first permanent magnet and a first coil for generating electricity are installed at the connection between the support pipe 10 and the rotating blade 3. The outer wall of the column body 7 is connected to a long float 11 through the floating steel frame 12.
[0026] During the swaying process of the column assembly, the vibration of the piston plate 8 compresses and draws in air, causing the rotating blade 3 to rotate. This rotation cuts the magnetic field lines generated by the first permanent magnet 2 embedded in the support tube 10, inducing a current in the support tube 10. The first part of the current is transmitted and stored using a high-voltage power transmission and energy storage device. The outer wall of the column body 7 is connected to the long float 11 via a floating steel frame 12, which hinders the vertical movement of the column during the stretching phase of the piston plate 8, increasing the stretching threshold of the piston plate 8 and thus improving the power generation efficiency of the first part. The hollow sleeve 6 is fixed to the column by a rectangular strip 4. A second permanent magnet 9 is installed in the second section of the hollow sleeve 6. The relative movement of the support tube 10 cuts the magnetic field lines, completing the power generation of the second part.
[0027] In this embodiment, the column body 7 is made of high-quality carbon steel. The top of the column body 7 is conical, and the air outlet 1 is located at the top of the conical column body 7. The rotating blades 3 are made of wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant rubber material. The long float 11 is made of rubber. In this embodiment, the height of the support pipe 10 and the size of the column can be adjusted according to the sea conditions.
[0028] In this embodiment, there are at least nine rotating blades 3. One end of each rotating blade 3 is evenly arranged along the outer circumference of the hollow sleeve 6. The second permanent magnet 9 and the second coil are located at the center convergence of each rotating blade 3.
[0029] In this embodiment, the three rectangular bars 4 are evenly arranged at a 120° angle. There are three springs 5, which correspond one-to-one with the rectangular bars 4. The rectangular bars 4 are cuboids, but are not limited to this and can also be other shapes. They are used to fix the hollow sleeve 6, so they need to have good rigidity, strength and corrosion resistance. They are made of high-quality carbon steel with rubber coating.
[0030] In this embodiment, there are two floating steel frames 12, which are symmetrically welded to the outer wall of the column body 7 through rotating joints 13. The floating steel frames 12 and the long float 11 are connected through rotating joints 13. The rotating joints 13 adopt a hinge structure and are fixed to the outer surface of the column body 7. Rubber pads 131 are installed on the inner side to mitigate structural wear.
[0031] The oscillating nearshore wave energy power generation device in this embodiment has two modes of motion for generating electricity: it can use waves to provide power to make the column oscillate up and down to generate electricity, and at the same time, the air pressure inside the column body 7 changes during the up and down oscillation, and the air inside the column body 7 accelerates the flow and drives the blades 3 to rotate to generate electricity.
[0032] The specific power generation principle of this invention is as follows:
[0033] In calm water, the springs 5 and piston plates 8 are in their natural state. The double-layered hollow inner wall design and the long floats 11 provide buoyancy for the entire device, ensuring its stability. In wavy water, when the entire device, especially the column body 7, is located at the trough of a wave and the long floats 11 on both sides are located at the crest, the piston plates 8 move upward under the action of the waves. The air inside the column body 7 is compressed, driving the rotating blades 3 to rotate. This cuts the fixed first permanent magnet 2, generating an induced current and producing electricity. The electricity is then transmitted and stored through a high-voltage line and an energy storage device. In addition, as the column body 7 moves upward under the action of the waves, the magnetic field lines generated by the second permanent magnet 9, fixed to the supporting steel pipe, are cut by the second hollow sleeve 6 at the bottom of the column, also generating an induced current and producing electricity.
[0034] When the entire device, especially the column body 7, is located at the crest of a wave and the long floats 11 on both sides are located at the trough, the piston plate 8 loses the impact force of the wave and moves downward due to excessive compression. The air pressure inside the column body 7 is lower than the external pressure, generating an airflow from the outside to the inside of the vent, which drives the rotating blade 3 to rotate. This same principle generates electricity. Furthermore, when the column body 7 loses the impact of the wave and moves downward, the second permanent magnet 9 generates an induced current, generating electricity.
[0035] During the aforementioned reciprocating up-and-down oscillations, the floating steel frame 12 and the long float 11 can increase the amplitude of the stretching of the spring 5 plates, thereby increasing the air intake threshold and increasing power generation efficiency. When the long float 11 is at the crest of the wave, the angle between the long float 11 and the floating steel frame 12 is in a small angle range, having little impact on the vertical movement of the column body 7; when the long float 11 is at the trough of the wave, the angle between the long float 11 and the floating steel frame 12 is in a large angle range, hindering the vertical movement of the column body 7, and the spring 5 plates stretch a longer distance under the action of gravity, resulting in a larger oscillation amplitude and higher power generation efficiency.
[0036] In summary, the oscillating nearshore wave energy power generation device of the present invention converts wave energy into electrical energy. In order to reduce costs, it does not use a generator, but uses waves to drive the blades 3 to rotate and the column body 7 to sway, converting wave energy into electrical energy through the principle of electromagnetic induction. This facilitates mass production and generates economic benefits.
