[0002] Ocean currents flow beneath the sea day and night, and their flow and velocity change very little throughout the year. They are the most constant and huge green energy carriers on Earth, and have incomparable advantages over other green energy sources. Therefore, ocean current power generation is also a clean energy utilization technology that many countries have been studying in recent decades. However, it has not been put into large-scale commercial applications. The main reason is that there is no engine technology that can be built on a large scale over a wide area of ​​tens of kilometers to collect this energy. Most experimental devices are similar to windmill devices for wind power generation. This type of device cannot be scaled up in a water flow environment and has a low conversion rate.

This grid-shaped piston group can be manufactured and installed over a very large area, and is particularly suitable for energy collection and clean power generation in low-speed and wide-basin areas such as ocean currents.

[0030] Working principle or structural principle: First, the ocean current passes through a wave-shaped flow channel composed of a group of grid-shaped pistons 6. Figure 4 As shown, these pistons 6 act like comb teeth to filter and absorb the energy carried by the ocean currents to continuously straighten the wavy flow path, thereby pushing the grid-shaped pistons 6 to reciprocate along the guide rails 3. The movement of the pistons 6 is then transmitted to the crankshaft 4 through the connecting rod 5, causing the crankshaft 4 to rotate and output power. The control system monitors and controls the operating status of the engine in real time, including the reciprocating speed of the pistons 6, the rotation speed of the crankshaft 4, etc., to achieve efficient operation of the engine and energy saving and emission reduction.
