This embodiment describes a magnetically levitated wave energy harvesting structure combining a double-cylinder and a planar structure, specifically comprising: a top cover 1 and a bottom cover 8 fixedly mounted at the upper and lower ends of cylinder 2; a shaft 15 fixedly mounted in the center hole of the top cover 1 and bottom cover 8; circular holes around the top cover 1 and bottom cover 8 for free entry and exit of seawater and air; linear bearing 14 and linear bearing 9 mounted on shaft 15; linear bearing 9 fixedly connected to buoyancy block 7; buoyancy block 7 fixedly connected to magnet 6; linear bearing 14 fixedly connected to magnet 10; magnet 10 and sealing cover 12 forming a sealed cavity; an upper inner cylinder 301 and a lower inner cylinder 503 with horizontal and vertical electrode structures fixedly mounted at the top and bottom of the sealed cavity; a third upper vertical friction layer 302 and a third lower vertical friction layer 303 respectively bonded to the outer walls of the upper inner cylinder 301 and lower inner cylinder 503. Layer 501, the lower surface of the upper inner cylinder 301 is bonded with the third upper horizontal friction layer 303, and the upper surface of the lower inner cylinder 503 is bonded with the third lower horizontal friction layer 502; the outer cylinder 401 with horizontal and vertical triboelectric structures is installed between spring 13 and spring 21, the upper inner wall of the outer cylinder 401 is bonded with the first upper vertical friction layer 402 and the second upper vertical friction layer 403 respectively, the upper inner surface of the outer cylinder 401 is bonded with the first upper horizontal friction layer 404 and the second upper horizontal friction layer 405 respectively, the lower inner wall of the outer cylinder 401 is bonded with the first lower vertical friction layer 406 and the second lower vertical friction layer 407 respectively, and the lower inner surface of the outer cylinder 401 is bonded with the first lower horizontal friction layer 408 and the second lower horizontal friction layer 409 respectively, the top of spring 13 is fixedly installed at the top of the sealing cavity, and the bottom of spring 21 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the sealing cavity.

[0040] Figure 2 The diagram shows a front view of the top cover 1, which is identical to the bottom cover 8. Except for the central hole for mounting the shaft 15, the top cover 1 has holes around its perimeter to allow seawater and air to freely enter and exit.

[0041] When the wave energy harvesting structure is in operation, it will be fixed on a floating platform or other water surface platform, with part of the structure immersed in seawater. The buoyancy block 7 can keep the internal structure on the water surface under the action of seawater. The rise and fall of the waves will cause the entire internal structure to rise and fall along the axis. Magnet 10 and Magnet 26 are installed with magnetic repulsion. This structure can lift the power generation structure away from the water surface and can also achieve a buffering function.

[0042] Under the influence of inertia, the outer cylinder 401 moves up and down periodically between spring 13 and spring 21. The friction layer on the outer cylinder 401 will periodically contact and separate from the friction layers installed on the upper inner cylinder 301 and the lower inner cylinder 503, and generate electricity through the coupling effect of friction electrification and electrostatic induction.
