[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. The present invention will be described in one embodiment below with reference to specific embodiments. The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and represent schematic diagrams, not actual pictures, and should not be construed as limiting the present patent. In order to better illustrate the embodiments of the present invention, some parts of the drawings may be omitted, enlarged, or reduced, and do not represent the actual product size. It is understandable to those skilled in the art that some well-known structures and their descriptions may be omitted in the drawings.

[0022] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this embodiment provides an integrated wind and wave power generation device, including a wave power generation structure and an energy conversion system 9. The wave power generation structure includes a conductor 2, a wave-absorbing float 1, and a magnet 3. The conductor 2 is disposed on the outer wall of the wind turbine tower 4 and is electrically connected to the energy conversion system 9. The wave-absorbing float 1 is provided with an installation hole and is sleeved on the wind turbine tower 4 through the installation hole. The magnet 3 is disposed on the inner wall of the installation hole. When the wave-absorbing float 1 swings up and down along the wind turbine tower 4 with the wave fluctuation, the conductor 2 cuts the magnetic lines of force of the magnet 3 in the installation hole.

[0023] It should be noted that the wind and wave integrated power generation device provided in the embodiment is applied to the existing fixed single-pile wind turbine, and is used to realize the integrated structure of wind energy and wave energy. The existing fixed single-pile wind turbine includes a wind turbine tower 4, a wind turbine blade 10 and a generator. The bottom end of the wind turbine tower 4 is fixedly installed on the seabed, the top end of the wind turbine tower 4 extends out of the sea surface, the wind turbine blade 10 is installed at the top end of the wind turbine tower 4, and the wind turbine blade 10 is preferably designed as three pieces of commonly used airfoil shape. The wind turbine tower 4 is preferably cylindrical, and the top end diameter is smaller than the bottom end diameter. The generator is installed at the top end of the wind turbine tower 4. Based on the existing fixed single-pile wind turbine, the conductor 2 of the wave power generation structure is installed on the wind turbine tower 4, that is, the conductor 2 is wrapped on the outer wall of the wind turbine tower 4. In the embodiment, the conductor 2 is preferably designed as a coil. Then the wave-absorbing float 1 is sleeved on the wind turbine tower 4 by using the mounting hole. The wave-absorbing float 1 can float on the sea surface and slide along the wind turbine tower 4 with the fluctuation of the wave. The magnet 3 is arranged on the inner wall of the mounting hole. The magnet 3 is preferably designed as a rectangle, which is beneficial to increase the installation area. In order to improve the cutting effect, the magnet 3 is preferably arranged parallel to the wind turbine tower 4, that is, the magnet 3 is located between the wave-absorbing float 1 and the conductor 2. When the wave-absorbing float 1 swings along the wind turbine tower 4 with the sea wave, the magnet 3 on the wave-absorbing float 1 moves relative to the conductor 2 on the wind turbine tower 4, which is equivalent to the movement of the conductor 2 cutting the magnetic force line of the magnet 3. At the same time, the energy exchange system includes a power generation system, an energy storage system and a power coupling system. When the conductor 2 is electrically connected with the energy conversion system 9, it is equivalent to that the conductor 2 in the closed circuit cuts the magnetic force line. At this time, the conductor 2 can generate current, realizing the utilization of wave energy.

[0024] Specifically, in use, the fixed single-pile wind turbine is fixedly installed on the seabed. Under the action of wind, the wind turbine blade 10 rotates to generate electricity, and the electricity is transmitted to the energy conversion system 9. At the same time, under the action of the sea wave, the wave-absorbing float 1 swings up and down along the wind turbine tower 4 with the sea wave. The magnet 3 on the wave-absorbing float 1 moves relative to the conductor 2 on the wind turbine tower 4. The conductor 2 cuts the magnetic force line of the magnet 3 to generate electric energy, which is collected in the energy conversion system 9 for use by the load.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the wave energy power generation structure is combined with the existing fixed single-pile wind turbine to realize the integrated structure of the shared foundation pile, which greatly reduces the sea area of the device, improves the energy utilization rate of the unit sea area, saves the construction cost, and simplifies the structure of the device. At the same time, the device failure rate is reduced, and the operation reliability of the device is improved.

[0026] Further, as Figure 1As shown, in order to limit the movement range of the wave-absorbing float 1 and enable the conductor 2 to stabilize the magnetic force line of the magnetic cutting magnet 3, in the embodiment, the fan tower 4 is provided with a semi-submersible platform, wherein the semi-submersible platform comprises a water platform 5 and a water platform 6 arranged at intervals, the wave power generation structure is arranged between the water platform 5 and the water platform 6, and the energy conversion system 9 is installed on the top surface of the water platform 5.

[0027] It should be noted that the fan tower 4 is provided with the conductor 2 on the length between the water platform 5 and the water platform 6, the conductor 2 is electrically connected with the energy conversion system 9 arranged on the top surface of the water platform 5, wherein the water platform 5 and the water platform 6 are preferably designed as a disc shape, the water platform 5 is arranged higher than the water surface, the water platform 6 is completely submerged in water, the sea surface is located between the water platform 5 and the water platform 6, and the wave-absorbing float 1 floats on the sea surface and slides between the water platform 5 and the water platform 6 along with the waves.

[0028] Further, as shown in the figure, Figure 1 In order to better utilize wave energy, in the embodiment, the water platform 5 and the wave-absorbing float 1 are provided with a first hydraulic cylinder 7, and the water platform 6 and the wave-absorbing float 1 are provided with a second hydraulic cylinder 8, wherein the rod cavity of the first hydraulic cylinder 7 is installed on the bottom surface of the water platform 5, the rodless cavity of the first hydraulic cylinder 7 is installed on the top surface of the wave-absorbing float 1, the rod cavity of the second hydraulic cylinder 8 is installed on the bottom of the wave-absorbing float 1, and the rodless cavity of the second hydraulic cylinder 8 is installed on the top surface of the water platform 6. At the same time, in order to better receive the second hydraulic cylinder 8 and improve the connection stability of the second hydraulic cylinder 8 and the water platform 6, the area of the water platform 6 is preferably designed to be larger than the area of the water platform 5.

[0029] Specifically, under the action of the wave peak, the wave-absorbing float 1 moves upward, at this time, the first hydraulic cylinder 7 is compressed, the hydraulic oil in the rodless cavity of the first hydraulic cylinder 7 is pressed into the energy storage system of the energy conversion system 9, at the same time, the second hydraulic cylinder 8 is stretched, the hydraulic oil in the energy storage system of the energy conversion system 9 is sucked into the rodless cavity of the second hydraulic cylinder 8; and under the action of the wave trough, the wave-absorbing float 1 moves downward, at this time, the first hydraulic cylinder 7 is stretched, the hydraulic oil in the energy storage system of the energy conversion system 9 is pressed into the rodless cavity of the first hydraulic cylinder 7, at the same time, the second hydraulic cylinder 8 is compressed, the hydraulic oil in the energy storage system of the energy conversion system 9 is sucked into the rodless cavity of the second hydraulic cylinder 8, the embodiment realizes the integrated application of the double energy conversion mode, and further improves the energy conversion rate of the unit area of the sea area for the hydraulic energy conversion mode and the linear motor energy conversion mode, i.e. the application of the hydraulic rod cylinder and the conductor 2 cutting the magnetic force line of the magnetic magnet 3.

[0030] Further, as shown in the figure, Figures 1-2As shown, to facilitate the movement of the wave-absorbing float 1 with the waves, this embodiment employs a specially shaped wave-absorbing float 1 structure design. Specifically, the wave-absorbing float 1 is a semi-submersible, floating, cylindrical structure. The float 1 has a mounting hole in its center. Cutting the float 1 along the axis of the mounting hole reveals the following characteristics in its cross-section: the top of the float 1 is flat, the bottom is semi-circular, and the two side walls are curved, resembling an eagle's head. The wall surface of the mounting hole is parallel to the wall surface of the wind turbine tower 4. From a top view, the float 1 appears as a disc, with the mounting hole penetrating the wind turbine tower 4. The axis of the mounting hole coincides with the axis of the wind turbine tower 4. The side wall of the wave-absorbing float 1 has an arc-shaped structure. In order to better drain water and float with the waves, it is preferable to design the side wall of the wave-absorbing float 1 as an arc-shaped concave surface. At the same time, it is preferable to design the top surface of the wave-absorbing float 1 as a planar structure and the bottom surface of the wave-absorbing float 1 as an arc shape, preferably an arc-shaped convex surface. The area of ​​the top surface of the wave-absorbing float 1 is designed to be larger than the area of ​​the bottom surface of the wave-absorbing float 1. The structural design of the wave-absorbing float 1 facilitates the installation of the first hydraulic cylinder 7 and improves the installation stability. On the other hand, it facilitates the floating of the wave-absorbing float 1 on the sea surface. At the same time, the shape of the wave-absorbing float 1 facilitates floating with the waves and improves the energy conversion effect.

[0031] Working principle:

[0032] like Figures 1-2 As shown, when using this device, the fixed monopile wind turbine is fixedly installed on the seabed. Under the action of wind, the turbine blades 10 rotate to generate electricity, which is transmitted to the energy conversion system 9. Under the action of wave crests, the wave-absorbing float 1 moves upward, the first hydraulic cylinder 7 is compressed, and the hydraulic oil in the rodless chamber of the first hydraulic cylinder 7 is forced into the energy storage system of the energy conversion system 9. At the same time, the second hydraulic cylinder 8 is stretched, and the hydraulic oil in the energy storage system of the energy conversion system 9 is drawn into the rodless chamber of the second hydraulic cylinder 8. Similarly, under the action of wave troughs, the wave-absorbing float 1 moves downward, the first hydraulic cylinder 7 is stretched, and the hydraulic oil in the energy storage system of the energy conversion system 9 is forced out to the rodless chamber of the first hydraulic cylinder 7. At the same time, the second hydraulic cylinder 8 is compressed, and the hydraulic oil in the energy storage system of the energy conversion system 9 is drawn into the rodless chamber of the second hydraulic cylinder 8, thus realizing hydraulic energy conversion.

[0033] Meanwhile, when the wave-absorbing float 1 reciprocates along the wind turbine tower 4 under the action of waves, the coil of the wind turbine tower 4 cuts the magnetic lines of force of the magnet 3 of the wave-absorbing float 1, generating electrical energy, which is collected in the energy storage system of the energy conversion system 9 for use by the load. This device has a simple structure, controllable movement amplitude of the wave-absorbing float 1, high maintainability, and high safety, making it suitable for use in complex marine environments. In addition, this device achieves an integrated structure with shared foundation piles, which greatly reduces the sea area occupied by the device and improves the energy utilization rate per unit sea area.
