Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of renewable energy in marine engineering, and in particular relates to a leaf spring boundary-constrained self-regulating bistable wave energy converter. Background Art
[0002] The surface of the earth is dominated by the ocean, and the ever-present waves contain huge energy. As a renewable energy source, wave energy has the advantages of cleanliness, high energy flow density and little influence from seasonal changes. Wave energy has great potential, and the rational use of wave energy can help alleviate the increased energy consumption pressure caused by the rapid development of the world. The low power generation efficiency of wave energy converters is one of the main factors affecting their application. How to capture energy from low-frequency waves is a recognized technical problem. The introduction of a bistable mechanism into a wave energy converter can effectively improve its energy capture efficiency for low-frequency waves. However, after the introduction of the traditional bistable mechanism, the wave energy converter requires a larger wave excitation force to overcome its own "potential barrier". Due to the irregularity of the waves, the wave energy converter is prone to make a small amplitude well movement under small excitation conditions, and its corresponding energy capture efficiency will also deteriorate sharply. For the wave energy converter with axial relative motion, it needs to have a longer axial length for stable operation, and the sealing steps are more complicated. At the same time, it is difficult for conventional coil springs to have the functions of tension, compression and anti-instability at the same time when used. Summary of the invention

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0016] 1. The present invention designs a spiral spring mechanism with tensile, compressive and anti-instability functions and cooperates with a leaf spring to form a self-adjusting bistable mechanism. After the self-adjusting bistable mechanism is applied to the wave energy converter, it can automatically adjust the potential barrier of the system. Compared with the traditional bistable wave energy converter, the self-adjusting bistable wave energy converter is easier to adapt to the complex and changeable wave height changes in the ocean, and can also cross the potential barrier to make inter-well movement with a larger motion amplitude under the excitation of small waves.
[0017] 2. A bistable mechanism is designed to cooperate with the sleeve to realize the tension and compression functions. Together with the leaf spring, it constitutes the main structure of the self-adjusting bistable mechanism. The dynamic boundary constraint of the traditional bistable mechanism is realized by the leaf spring, so that the device can have a potential barrier that automatically adjusts with the change of wave excitation after adding the self-adjusting bistable mechanism. It can also easily complete the large-scale well-to-well movement in the bistable system under relatively small wave excitation force.
[0018] 3. Since the spiral spring mechanism assists in compression and stretching through the sleeve and assists in achieving the anti-bending function, the self-regulating bistable wave energy converter can have stable working performance.
[0019] 4. A linear transmission auxiliary mechanism mainly composed of linear bearings and guide rails is designed, and is attached to one side of the guide rail to assist the linear transmission of the main shaft, thereby eliminating the top auxiliary transmission of the main shaft and reducing the axial space occupancy; a sealing form is designed that uses a telescopic sealing sleeve to seal the optical axis transmission, simplifying the sealing steps of the transmission process.
[0020] 5. In the present invention, the main transmission mechanism, the auxiliary transmission mechanism, the self-adjusting bistable mechanism, the motion adjustment mechanism and the power generation mechanism can be highly integrated in the float at the same time, and the compact structure is convenient for production, installation, transportation and use.
[0021] 6. The sealing method of the present invention adopts the form of an external telescopic sealing sleeve for sealing, which simplifies the sealing form compared with the traditional mechanical sealing method that requires a large number of parts to complete the sealing function.

[0058] The working process of the present invention is as follows:
[0059] The leaf spring boundary-constrained self-regulating bistable wave energy converter of the present invention floats on the sea surface through the anchor chain passing through the anchor chain hole 32, and the float 1 oscillates under the excitation of the waves, and the float moves axially relative to the main shaft 41. Fig.14 As shown, the plane where the axes of the two second pins are located when the coil spring assembly 61 is in a horizontal position and the coil spring 612 is compressed and the leaf spring 62 is bent outward to the limit state is defined as the balance plane. When the central axes of the two second pins are in the balance plane, the position of the self-regulating bistable wave energy converter is the unstable equilibrium point in the bistable system. Fig.13 As shown, when the central axes of the two second pins 65 are below the balance plane, the coil spring 612 is at its original length, and the leaf spring 62 is in an unbent state, the position of the self-regulating bistable wave energy converter is the lower stable balance point in the bistable system. Fig.15 As shown, when the axes of the two second pins 65 are above the balance plane, the coil spring 612 is at its original length, and the leaf spring 62 is in an unbent state, the position of the self-regulating bistable wave energy converter is the upper stable balance point in the bistable system. Fig.12 As shown in FIG. 1 , when the central axis of the second pin 65 is lower than the farthest distance of the balance plane, the self-regulating bistable wave energy converter is at the lower limit point. Fig.16 As shown in FIG. 1 , when the central axis of the second pin 65 is higher than the farthest distance of the balance plane, the self-regulating bistable wave energy converter is at the upper limit point. Figure 13 to Figure 14 arrive Fig.15 , when the float 1 oscillates with the waves, the float 1 experiences a process from the lower stable equilibrium point to the equilibrium plane and then to the upper stable equilibrium point, as shown in Figure 15 to Figure 16 , and then continue to move from the upper stable equilibrium point to the upper limit point, such as Figure 16 to Figure 12 , then from the upper limit point to the upper stable equilibrium point, then go through the process from the upper stable equilibrium point to the equilibrium plane and then to the lower stable equilibrium point, and then move from the lower stable equilibrium point to the lower limit point, and so on.
[0060] Specifically, Figure 13 to Figure 14, the float 1 moves downward relative to the main shaft 41, and the main shaft 41 moves upward relative to the float 1, the auxiliary transmission mechanism 5 assists the main shaft 41 to move axially upward, the integrated slider 51 moves upward on the guide rail 52 through the linear bearing 53, the fixing part 3 fixed at the lower end of the main shaft 41 and the flange seal 135 at the lower end of the float 1 are close to each other, and the telescopic sealing sleeve 2 is compressed in the form of corrugations to prevent seawater from penetrating into the device. When the integrated slider 51 moves upward, due to the connection relationship between the mounting platform 68 and the coil spring connector 66, the second pin shaft 65 drives the second sleeve 613 to rotate, and the second sleeve 613 rotates while driving the guide column 6132 to slide in the guide cylindrical hole 6111 of the first sleeve 611, and the first sleeve 611 approaches the second sleeve 613, and the coil spring 612 is compressed accordingly and relies on the first stabilizing ring 6113 and the second The second stabilizing ring 6131 prevents lateral bending instability. At the same time, since the first sleeve 611 squeezes the leaf spring positioning connector 64 through the first pin shaft 63, the leaf spring positioning connector 64 squeezes the leaf spring 62, and the leaf spring 62 bends to both sides to form a "()" shape, storing elastic potential energy when the spiral spring 612 is compressed. The bending of the leaf spring 62 also assists in storing elastic potential energy, avoiding the spiral spring 612 working alone as in a traditional bistable system, causing the system's potential barrier to be too large. The bending of the leaf spring 62 assists the spiral spring 612 to form a self-adjusting bistable structure 6 with dynamic boundary constraints, which is applied to wave energy converters so that they can adjust their own potential barriers with wave excitation. The leaf spring 62 can be easily inserted into the leaf spring mounting holes 671 at different positions of the leaf spring support 67 to adjust the distance between the two, thereby further adjusting the boundary constraints of the self-adjusting bistable structure 6. At the same time, the two racks 73 move downward with the float 1, and drive the first one-way gear 741 to rotate counterclockwise and the second one-way gear 742 to rotate clockwise. When the first one-way gear 741 transmits torque to the first gear shaft 771, and the second one-way gear 742 only idles and does not transmit torque to the coaxial third gear shaft 773, the first common gear 751 rotates counterclockwise, the second common gear 752 rotates clockwise, and the third common gear 753 rotates counterclockwise. Finally, the second common gear 752 drives the coaxial second gear shaft 772 to rotate clockwise, and drives the power generation mechanism 8 to generate electricity through the coupling 78. Until the self-regulating bistable wave energy converter is at the equilibrium plane, the degree of bending of the leaf spring 62 to both sides to form a "()" shape is the largest, the elastic potential energy stored when the spiral spring 612 is compressed is the largest, and the elastic potential energy stored by the bending of the leaf spring 62 is also the largest.
[0061] Continue, as Figure 14 to Figure 15, the main shaft 41 continues to move upward relative to the float 1, and when the integrated slider 51 crosses the balance plane and continues to move upward until the self-adjusting bistable wave energy converter is at the upper stable balance point, at this time, the coil spring 612 changes from a compressed state to an original length state, and the leaf spring 62 changes from a bent state to a normal state. At this time, the coil spring 612 and the leaf spring 62 simultaneously release elastic potential energy and convert it into kinetic energy required by the device, which increases the motion response in the low-frequency region compared to the wave energy converter without the self-adjusting bistable structure 6.
[0062] Continue, as Figure 15 to Figure 16 , the main shaft 41 continues to move upward relative to the float 1 until the self-regulating bistable wave energy converter is at the upper limit point. The height of the upper limit point and the lower limit point depends on the magnitude of the wave excitation force. The greater the wave excitation force, the farther the upper limit position is from the lower limit position, the longer the coil spring 612 is stretched, and the smaller the wave excitation force, the closer the upper limit position is to the lower limit position. When the self-regulating bistable wave energy converter is at the upper limit point, the coil spring 612 is stretched to the limit position. Note that this limit position is not the stretching limit of the spring itself, but the maximum extent to which the spring can be stretched under the current wave excitation force. At this time, the extent to which the leaf spring 62 is concave to both sides to form a ")(" shape is the largest. The excessive kinetic energy of the self-regulating bistable wave energy converter is stretched and stored as elastic potential energy by the coil spring 612, and is assisted by the bending of the leaf spring 62 to store as elastic potential energy, preventing the self-regulating bistable wave energy converter from causing collision damage to components due to excessive kinetic energy.
[0063] On the contrary, if Figure 16 to Figure 15 When the float 1 moves upward, the rack 73 drives the first one-way gear 741 to rotate clockwise and the second one-way gear 742 to rotate counterclockwise. The first one-way gear 741 idles and does not transmit torque to the first gear shaft 771, while the second one-way gear 742 transmits torque to the coaxial third gear shaft 773. Finally, the coaxial second gear shaft 772 is also driven by the second common gear 752 to rotate clockwise and drive the generator 8 to generate electricity through the coupling 78.

Any modification and change made to the present invention within the protection scope of the present invention and the claims shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
