Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wave energy power generation technology, and more particularly to a wave energy power generation device and method for unmanned surface vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] Unmanned surface vehicles (UAVs) are small, unmanned platforms equipped with various sensors for long-range operations. They are typically powered by solar photovoltaic panels or small-capacity lithium batteries, resulting in limited endurance. Wave energy generation devices are electromechanical equipment capable of efficiently collecting and converting high-density wave energy from the ocean. Applying them to the power supply system of UAVs can solve the problem of long-term stable power supply for these vehicles, demonstrating promising research and application prospects.

[0003] Common wave energy generation devices mainly consist of an energy-harvesting oscillator, a transmission mechanism, and a permanent magnet motor. Among them, the transmission mechanism generally uses mechanical gear pairs to match the movement of the energy-harvesting oscillator and the rotor of the permanent magnet motor. The frictional loss between the gear profiles not only reduces the service life of the transmission mechanism, but also reduces the energy conversion efficiency of the power generation device.

[0004] Magnetic gear composite motors are a new type of permanent magnet motor structurally composed of magnetic gears and traditional permanent magnet motors. They offer both high-efficiency power generation and the contactless transmission and overload protection features of magnetic gears, reducing frictional losses and preventing motor damage from overload, thus adapting to complex and variable marine environments. However, existing magnetic gear composite motors typically suffer from magnetic flux coupling between the magnetic gears and the motor, which not only reduces their power generation and transmission efficiency but also makes it difficult to achieve overload self-protection. Furthermore, the stator yoke of composite motors often uses a slotted structure, generating high-amplitude periodic cogging torque during rotor rotation, which is detrimental to the starting and smooth operation of the composite motor.

[0005] Therefore, developing a high-performance magnetic gear composite motor and applying it to wave energy power generation devices can break the previous constraints on the application range of unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) due to power supply issues, ensure that the power supply system of the vehicle has a good service life and working efficiency, and is of great significance for improving the endurance of USVs. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a wave energy generation device and method for unmanned surface vehicles (UAVs). The device utilizes an eccentric pendulum and a coggingless decoupled magnetic gear composite motor as energy harvesting and power generation units, respectively, with all components tightly assembled axially. This invention leverages the speed-increasing and step-loss effects of the magnetic gears, driven by the built-in eccentric pendulum, to achieve efficient wave energy generation without direct contact with seawater. It also features overload self-protection, enabling long-term continuous power supply for UAVs. The device is robust, compact, and has a long service life, demonstrating significant practical value.

[0007] The technical means employed in this invention are as follows:

[0008] A wave energy power generation device for a marine unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes the UAV and the wave energy power generation device. The wave energy power generation device is fixedly connected to a support on the surface of the UAV, and the power output terminal of the wave energy power generation device is connected to the power supply terminal of the UAV.

[0009] The wave energy generation device is assembled axially from an end cover, a rectifier, filter, voltage regulator, motor stator, composite rotor, magnetic adjustment stator, low-speed rotor, and base. The composite rotor adopts a separate double magnetic yoke structure, which combines the rotor of the slotless disc motor and the high-speed rotor of the axial magnetic flux gear into one unit, in order to realize the coupling of the structure and the decoupling of the magnetic flux between the two electromagnetic mechanisms.

[0010] Furthermore, the motor stator includes a stator housing, angular contact ball bearings, a stator yoke, and three-phase concentrated windings, wherein:

[0011] The stator housing is made of thermally conductive nylon and has wire lead-out holes at the ends;

[0012] The angular contact ball bearing is mounted in the bearing housing of the stator housing;

[0013] The stator yoke is made of stacked silicon steel sheets and is fixed to the outer shell by epoxy resin and annular groove in the flow channel of the outer shell end face;

[0014] The three-phase concentrated winding includes nine copper circular coils with the same direction of rotation, which are connected in three pairs of poles and fixed on the magnetic yoke to form a slotless stator structure.

[0015] Furthermore, the composite rotor includes an angular contact ball bearing, a high-speed shaft, generator rotor poles, a generator rotor yoke, a composite rotor housing, a magnetic gear high-speed rotor yoke, and magnetic gear high-speed rotor poles, wherein:

[0016] The angular contact ball bearing is mounted in the bearing housing of the composite rotor housing;

[0017] The high-speed shaft is inserted into the shaft hole of the composite rotor housing using an interference fit.

[0018] The generator rotor has three pairs of magnetic poles, and the high-speed magnetic gear rotor has two pairs of magnetic poles, both of which are made of axially magnetized sector-shaped neodymium magnets. They are fixed sequentially on the end faces of the corresponding magnetic yokes to form excitation magnetic rings, so that the magnetization directions of adjacent magnetic poles are opposite. The excitation magnetic rings are fixed to the composite rotor housing through epoxy resin and ring grooves in the end face flow channels of the composite rotor housing. The two magnetic yokes are naturally separated by the distance between the bottom of the grooves on both sides to achieve decoupling of the magnetic flux between the generator and the magnetic gear.

[0019] Both the generator rotor yoke and the magnetic gear high-speed rotor yoke are made of stacked silicon steel sheets.

[0020] The composite rotor housing is made of thermally conductive nylon.

[0021] Furthermore, the magnetic adjusting stator includes a modulating iron pole, a fixed shaft, a magnetic adjusting stator housing, and a fixed shaft collar, wherein:

[0022] The modulation iron electrode consists of 7 pieces, all of which are made of stacked silicon steel sheets, embedded in the fan-shaped groove of the outer shell and fixed by epoxy resin in the flow channel;

[0023] Both the fixed shaft and the fixed shaft ring are made of stainless steel and are inserted into the shaft hole of the magnetic adjustment stator housing by means of interference fit.

[0024] The magnetic regulator housing is made of thermally conductive nylon.

[0025] Furthermore, the low-speed rotor includes an angular contact ball bearing, a magnetic gear low-speed rotor pole, a low-speed rotor housing, an eccentric pendulum, and a low-speed shaft, wherein:

[0026] The angular contact ball bearing is mounted in the bearing housing of the low-speed rotor housing.

[0027] The magnetic poles of the low-speed rotor of the magnetic gear are made of sector-shaped rubidium magnets, including 10 axially magnetized and 10 tangentially magnetized. The 10 axially magnetized and 10 tangentially magnetized form a five-pole annular Halbach array, which is fixed to the low-speed rotor housing by epoxy resin and annular groove in the end face flow channel of the low-speed rotor housing.

[0028] The low-speed rotor housing is made of thermally conductive nylon;

[0029] The lead eccentric pendulum is inserted into the convex shaft of the low-speed rotor housing;

[0030] The low-speed shaft is inserted into the shaft hole of the eccentric pendulum using an interference fit.

[0031] Furthermore, the base includes an angular contact ball bearing and a base housing, wherein:

[0032] The angular contact ball bearing is mounted in the bearing housing of the base shell;

[0033] The base housing is made of thermally conductive nylon.

[0034] The present invention also provides a wave energy generation method based on the above-mentioned wave energy power generation device for unmanned surface vessels, comprising:

[0035] In the wave energy generation device, except for the eccentric pendulum, the center of gravity of the other shaft parts is located on the axis, that is, only the gravity of the eccentric pendulum can generate axial torque.

[0036] Under the influence of external waves, the wave energy power generation device will follow the unmanned surface vehicle on the sea surface and sway irregularly, causing the center of gravity of the eccentric pendulum to change continuously. The tangential component of the gravity of the eccentric pendulum on the trajectory of the center of gravity will generate a driving torque on the axis, driving the low-speed rotor to rotate.

[0037] Through the speed-increasing effect of the magnetic gear, the rotational speed of the low-speed rotor will be amplified and transmitted to the composite rotor, thereby generating a high-frequency magnetic field on the motor stator and exciting the winding to generate a high-amplitude induced electromotive force.

[0038] Ignoring friction and eddy current losses within the wave energy generation device, the wave energy generation device efficiently converts the captured wave energy into electrical energy, which is then rectified, filtered, and regulated to charge the power supply of the unmanned surface vehicle.

[0039] Furthermore, when designing the performance parameters of the composite motor, the maximum static torque of the high-speed rotor of the magnetic gear is ensured to be lower than the limit torque of the motor, and the out-of-step effect of the magnetic gear is used to protect the composite motor from overload.

[0040] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0041] 1. The wave energy power generation device for unmanned surface vessels provided by this invention uses magnetic gears to replace the mechanical gear structure in traditional wave energy power generation devices, which can realize contactless transmission and overload protection functions, and improve the energy conversion efficiency and service life of the power generation device.

[0042] 2. The wave energy power generation device for unmanned marine vehicles provided by the present invention has a composite rotor with a separated double magnetic yoke structure. The magnetic focusing characteristics of the high permeability magnetic yoke can be used to achieve mutual shielding of the magnetic fields of the motor and the magnetic gear, that is, decoupling of the magnetic flux, ensuring that the magnetic circuits of the two electromagnetic mechanisms do not interfere with each other, so that the magnetic gear composite motor has stable working performance.

[0043] 3. The wave energy power generation device for unmanned surface vehicles provided by this invention overcomes the application problems of conventional wave energy power generation devices, such as large size, high cost and easy corrosion. It can achieve efficient conversion of wave energy into electrical energy without direct contact with seawater, avoid long-term corrosion by seawater, and provide long-term continuous power supply for unmanned surface vehicles, thus having good practical application value.

[0044] Based on the above reasons, this invention can be widely promoted in fields such as wave energy power generation. Attached Figure Description
