Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a magnetically levitated double-sided cylindrical sliding wave energy harvesting structure, belonging to the field of wave energy harvesting technology. Background Technology

[0002] Despite decades of development, traditional electromagnetic ocean energy generation equipment still faces limitations in wave energy harvesting. The irregular motion and low frequency of waves severely hinder the widespread adoption of such equipment. Furthermore, the generally high equipment and installation / maintenance costs directly restrict the application of wave energy generation equipment based on electromagnetic principles.

[0003] Nano-triboelectric generators have attracted widespread attention across various industries due to their numerous application advantages. A novel energy harvesting technology based on triboelectricity and electrostatic induction, nano-triboelectric generators are characterized by their ability to effectively utilize low-frequency mechanical energy for power generation. This provides a new approach to ocean energy harvesting and is an indispensable part of the future recyclable energy field.

[0004] Nano-triboelectric generators are characterized by their simple structure and low cost, which makes them highly scalable. They also have low overall structural mass and are easy to install and maintain. They have already been applied in some self-powered fields and will provide more solutions in the future in fields such as marine engineering, machinery manufacturing, rail transportation, and aerospace.

[0033] Figure 1 The diagram shows a cross-section of a wave energy harvesting structure. This embodiment describes a magnetically levitated, double-sided cylindrical sliding wave energy harvesting structure, specifically comprising: a top cover 1 and a bottom cover 8 fixedly mounted at the upper and lower ends of a 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 the shaft 15; linear bearing 9 fixedly connected to a buoyancy block 7; buoyancy block 7 fixedly connected to a magnet 6; linear bearing 14 fixedly connected to a magnet 10; magnet 10 and a sealing cover 12 forming a sealed cavity; the top and bottom of the sealed cavity... An upper inner cylinder 301 and a lower inner cylinder 502 with electrode structures are fixedly installed. The outer walls of the upper inner cylinder 301 and the lower inner cylinder 502 are respectively bonded with a third upper friction layer 302 and a third lower friction layer 501. An outer cylinder 401 with a vertical triboelectric power generation structure is installed between spring 13 and spring 21. The upper inner wall of the outer cylinder 401 is respectively bonded with a first upper friction layer 402 and a second upper friction layer 403. The lower inner wall of the outer cylinder 401 is respectively bonded with a first lower friction layer 404 and a second lower friction layer 405. 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.

[0034] 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.

[0035] 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.

[0036] 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 502, and generate electricity through the coupling effect of friction electrification and electrostatic induction.
