Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention patent relates to the technical field of wave-generating structures, and more specifically, to a wave-generating structure in which the gaps between wave-generating plates remain unchanged. Background Technology

[0002] To accurately simulate focused ocean waves, wave-generating systems typically consist of multiple wave generators arranged in an arc or circle. Each wave generator has wave-generating plates, which are also arranged in a circular shape. The reciprocating motion of these wave-generating plates propels the water within the circular harbor basin, thus simulating waves. Adjacent wave-generating plates are staggered, meaning that as one wave-generating plate moves forward, an adjacent plate moves backward, thereby propelling the water.

[0003] In the existing technology, since multiple wave-generating plates are arranged in a circle, they are not on the same plane, but are arranged at a certain angle. When the wave-generating plates move back and forth to generate waves, the gaps between adjacent wave-generating plates will vary in size, which seriously affects the wave-generating effect. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a wave-generating structure with a constant gap between wave-generating plates, in order to solve the problem in the prior art where the gap between adjacent wave-generating plates fluctuates in size during the wave-generating process, thus affecting the wave-generating effect.

[0005] The present invention is implemented as follows: a wave-generating structure with a constant gap between wave-generating plates includes multiple wave-generating plates that are driven to move back and forth by a driving structure. The multiple wave-generating plates are arranged sequentially and adjacent to each other in a circular shape. The adjacent wave-generating plates move in a staggered manner.

[0006] The wave-generating plate includes two wave-pushing plates arranged at intervals facing each other, with a gap between the two wave-pushing plates; when the wave-generating plate moves forward, the two wave-pushing plates move towards each other, and when the wave-generating plate moves backward, the two wave-pushing plates move away from each other; a gap is formed between the wave-pushing plates of the two wave-generating plates.

[0007] When the two wave-pushing plates are driven to move towards each other, the gap between the two wave-pushing plates decreases; when the two wave-pushing plates are driven to move away from each other, the gap between the two wave-pushing plates increases.

[0008] Furthermore, the rear ends of the two wave-pushing plates of each wave-generating plate are arranged at intervals, and the front ends of the wave-pushing plates extend toward the interval area to form a superimposed plate. The superimposed plates of the two wave-pushing plates are arranged in an overlapping manner to form an overlapping area. When the two wave-pushing plates are driven to move toward each other, the width of the overlapping area increases. When the two wave-pushing plates are driven to move away from each other, the width of the overlapping area decreases.

[0009] Furthermore, along the direction from back to front, the two wave-pushing plates are arranged at an angle towards each other.

[0010] Furthermore, the two composite plates are arranged in a front-to-back stacked configuration.

[0011] Furthermore, the top of the wave-generating plate is provided with a horizontally arranged guide frame, the guide frame having two guide arms arranged at relatively intervals, the guide arms being located on the top of the wave-pushing plate and arranged vertically opposite to the wave-pushing plate; the top of the wave-pushing plate is provided with a guide structure, the guide structure being movably connected to the guide arms; when the wave-pushing plate is driven to move back and forth, the guide structure guides the wave-pushing plate to move along the length direction of the guide arms.

[0012] Furthermore, the guiding structure includes two guide blocks protruding from the top of the wave pusher plate, the two guide blocks are arranged relatively at intervals, and a guiding channel is formed between the two guide blocks. The lower part of the guide arm is movably embedded in the guiding channel. When the wave pusher plate is driven to move back and forth, the two guide blocks move along the length direction of the guide arm.

[0013] Furthermore, the top of the wave-pushing plate is provided with a plurality of the guide structures, which are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the guide arm.

[0014] Furthermore, the guide block has an abutting sidewall facing the guide channel, the abutting sidewall abutting against the outer surface of the guide arm.

[0015] Furthermore, the wave-pushing plate has an oriented sidewall facing the interval area, the oriented sidewall is covered with a hard adhesive layer, and a flat inflatable space is formed between the hard adhesive layer and the oriented sidewall, the inflatable space covering the entire oriented sidewall.

[0016] The two hard rubber layers facing the sidewalls are provided with telescopic tubes that are compressed or stretched. The telescopic tubes are hollow and have connecting holes inside. The connecting holes are respectively connected to the inflation spaces on the two pusher plates. The telescopic tubes are connected to the inflation / deflation device through pipes. The inflation / deflation device inflates the inflation space or deflates the inflation space through the telescopic tubes.

[0017] When the wave pusher is driven to move backward, the two wave pushers move apart, and the inflation / deflation device inflates the inflation space through the telescopic tube; when the wave pusher is driven to move forward, the two wave pushers move towards each other, and the inflation / deflation device deflates the inflation space through the telescopic tube.

[0018] Furthermore, the inflatable space is provided with multiple elastic telescopic columns, which are arranged perpendicular to the facing side wall; one end of the telescopic column is connected to the facing side wall, and the other end of the telescopic column is connected to the inner side wall of the hard rubber layer.

[0019] The telescopic column has a hollow hole, which extends along the axial direction of the telescopic column. The diameter of the hollow hole gradually decreases from the middle to both ends of the telescopic column.

[0020] When the inflation / deflation device inflates the inflation space through the telescopic tube, the elastic column is compressed and deformed, and the amount of compression deformation in the middle of the elastic column is greater than that at both ends.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the wave-generating structure provided by the present invention maintains a constant gap between the wave-generating plates. During the back-and-forth movement of the wave-generating plates, the gap area changes in real time after the two wave-pushing plates move towards or away from each other, that is, the width of the wave-generating plates changes in real time. In this way, since the adjacent wave-generating plates move in a staggered manner, if the width of one wave-generating plate increases, the width of the adjacent wave-generating plate decreases, thus keeping the gap between the adjacent wave-generating plates constant and avoiding any impact on the wave-generating effect.

[0030] Reference Figure 1-5 The image shows a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0031] A wave-generating structure with a constant gap between wave-generating plates includes multiple wave-generating plates that are driven by a drive structure to move back and forth. The multiple wave-generating plates are arranged sequentially and adjacent to each other in a circular shape. The adjacent wave-generating plates move in a staggered manner. The drive structure can be diverse, such as a motor. When a wave-generating plate moves forward, the wave-generating plate adjacent to that wave-generating plate moves backward.

[0032] The wave-generating plate includes two wave-pushing plates 100 arranged facing each other at a distance, with a gap 102 between the two wave-pushing plates 100; when the wave-generating plate moves forward, the two wave-pushing plates 100 move towards each other, and when the wave-generating plate moves backward, the two wave-pushing plates 100 move away from each other; a gap is formed between the wave-pushing plates 100 of the two wave-generating plates.

[0033] When the two wave pushers 100 are driven to move towards each other, the gap region 102 between the two wave pushers 100 decreases; when the two wave pushers 100 are driven to move away from each other, the gap region 102 between the two wave pushers 100 increases.

[0034] The wave-generating structure with a constant gap between the wave-generating plates described above allows for real-time changes in the gap area 102 as the two wave-pushing plates 100 move towards or away from each other. This means that the width of the wave-generating plates changes in real time. Since the adjacent wave-generating plates move in a staggered manner, if the width of one wave-generating plate increases, the width of the adjacent wave-generating plate decreases, thus keeping the gap between the adjacent wave-generating plates constant and avoiding any impact on the wave-generating effect.

[0035] In each wave-generating plate, the rear ends of two wave-pushing plates 100 are arranged at intervals, and the front ends of the wave-pushing plates 100 extend toward the interval region 102 to form a composite plate 101. The composite plates 101 of the two wave-pushing plates 100 are arranged in an overlapping manner to form an overlapping region.

[0036] When the two wave-pushing plates 100 are driven to move towards each other, the width of the overlapping area increases; when the two wave-pushing plates 100 are driven to move away from each other, the width of the overlapping area decreases.

[0037] In this embodiment, the overlapping plate 101 and the wave-pushing plate 100 are arranged with an obtuse angle bend, which facilitates the overlapping arrangement of the overlapping plates 101 on the two wave-pushing plates 100. Along the back-to-front direction of the wave-pushing plates 100, the two wave-pushing plates 100 are arranged at an angle towards each other.

[0038] The two composite plates 101 are arranged in a front-to-back overlapping manner, which makes it easier to arrange the two composite plates 101 in a overlapping state.

[0039] In this embodiment, a horizontally arranged guide frame is provided on the top of the wave-generating plate. The guide frame has two guide arms 200 arranged at relative intervals. The guide arms 200 are located on the top of the wave-pushing plate 100 and are arranged vertically opposite to the wave-pushing plate 100. A guide structure is provided on the top of the wave-pushing plate 100. The guide structure is movably connected to the guide arms 200. When the wave-pushing plate 100 is driven to move back and forth, the guide structure guides the wave-pushing plate 100 to move along the length direction of the guide arms 200.

[0040] In this way, the movement of the wave pusher plate 100 can be guided by the cooperation between the guide arm 200 and the guide structure. Furthermore, the cooperation between the guide structure and the guide arm 200 can further maintain the stability of the wave pusher plate 100 during the movement process and avoid swaying or other phenomena.

[0041] The guiding structure includes two guide blocks 103 protruding from the top of the pusher plate 100. The two guide blocks 103 are arranged relatively apart, and a guiding channel is formed between the two guide blocks 103. The lower part of the guide arm 200 is movably embedded in the guiding channel. When the pusher plate 100 is driven to move back and forth, the two guide blocks 103 move along the length direction of the guide arm 200.

[0042] The guide blocks 103 are arranged facing each other on both sides of the guide arm 200. The structure is simple, and the guide blocks 103 can play a relative clamping role on the guide arm 200, ensuring the stability of the pusher plate 100 during the movement process.

[0043] The top of the wave-pushing plate 100 is provided with multiple guide structures, which are spaced apart along the length of the guide arm 200. The guide block 103 has an abutting sidewall facing the guide channel, which abuts against the outer surface of the guide arm 200.

[0044] In this embodiment, the wave-pushing plate 100 has a facing sidewall facing the interval region 102, and a rigid adhesive layer 300 is covered on the facing sidewall. The rigid adhesive layer 300 will not deform under pressure or other conditions. A flat inflatable space 301 is formed between the rigid adhesive layer 300 and the facing sidewall, and the inflatable space 301 covers the entire facing sidewall.

[0045] Two rigid rubber layers 300 facing the side walls are provided with telescopic tubes that can be compressed or stretched. In this way, when the two wave-pushing plates 100 move toward each other or away from each other, the telescopic tubes also extend or contract accordingly, so as to avoid affecting the movement of the wave-pushing plates 100.

[0046] The telescopic tube is hollow and has a connecting hole inside. The connecting hole is connected to the inflation space 301 on the two pusher plates 100 respectively. The telescopic tube is connected to the inflation and deflation device through the pipe. The inflation and deflation device inflates the inflation space 301 or deflates the inflation space 301 through the telescopic tube.

[0047] When the pusher plate 100 is driven to move backward, the two pusher plates 100 move apart, and the inflation / deflation device inflates the inflation space 301 through the telescopic tube; when the pusher plate 100 is driven to move forward, the two pusher plates 100 move towards each other, and the inflation / deflation device deflates the inflation space 301 through the telescopic tube.

[0048] When the two wave-pushing plates 100 move apart, they need to push the water body to move, which is subject to greater resistance. At this time, the wave-pushing plates 100 are prone to large fluctuations. Therefore, by inflating the inflation space 301 with an inflation device, the stability of the wave-pushing plates 100 can be ensured. Moreover, the inflation space 301 is laid flat on the entire facing side wall of the wave-pushing plates 100, so the entire facing side wall of the wave-pushing plates 100 is subjected to uniform and stable force.

[0049] When the two wave-pushing plates 100 move toward each other, the air in the inflation space 301 can be slowly released on the basis of its original inflation, so as to ensure the smoothness of the movement of the two wave-pushing plates 100 toward each other.

[0050] In this embodiment, the inflatable space 301 is provided with a plurality of elastic telescopic columns 400, which are arranged perpendicular to the facing side wall; one end of the telescopic column 400 is connected to the facing side wall, and the other end of the telescopic column 400 is connected to the inner side wall of the hard rubber layer 300; the telescopic column 400 is provided with a hollow hole 401, which extends along the axial direction of the telescopic column 400; the diameter of the hollow hole 401 gradually decreases along the direction from the middle to both ends of the telescopic column 400.

[0051] When the inflation / deflation device inflates the inflation space 301 through the telescopic tube, the elastic column is compressed and deformed, and the amount of compression deformation in the middle of the elastic column is greater than that at both ends. In this way, the pressure from the compression deformation of the elastic column can provide further stable support for the wave-pushing plate 100.

[0052] 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.
