Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of marine renewable energy utilization, and specifically relates to a highly efficient energy-harvesting raft-type wave energy power generation device and a working method. Background Art

[0002] Wave energy refers to the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy possessed by waves on the ocean surface. The energy of waves is proportional to the square of the wave height, the wave movement period, and the width of the wavefront. Wave energy is a specific form of ocean energy and one of the most important energy sources in ocean energy. It is rich in reserves and accounts for more than 90% of the entire ocean energy. However, wave energy is also the most unstable energy in ocean energy. Its size is affected by many factors such as wind speed, wind direction, continuous blowing time, and flow rate. As a typical clean energy, wave energy has great development potential. Wave energy is essentially formed by seawater absorbing wind energy. When the wind passes over the sea surface, the sea surface is turbulent due to the friction of the air and the atmospheric pressure, forming waves. The energy transfer rate of waves is related to the wind speed and the distance between wind and water (i.e., the wind zone). When the water mass is displaced relative to the sea level, the wave has potential energy; and the movement of the water mass gives the wave kinetic energy. Wave energy has broad application prospects, among which power generation is the main field of wave energy application. There are many different wave energy generation technologies, which can be divided into three categories according to the intermediate energy conversion link: mechanical, pneumatic and hydraulic. These technologies can convert wave energy into electrical energy to meet the needs of homes, factories or cities. In addition, wave energy can also be used in seawater desalination, marine environmental protection, marine transportation and other fields.

[0003] According to statistics, the global economically valuable wave energy exploitation is estimated to be 100 to 1 billion kW. If wave energy can be reasonably developed and utilized, it will be of great significance to achieve sustainable energy development and promote marine economic construction. In the process of wave energy power generation, it is usually necessary to absorb wave energy through a wave energy power generation device, then convert the wave energy into stable output mechanical energy through a transmission mechanism, and finally use a power generation device to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy; At present, wave energy power generation devices have been promoted and applied in small facilities such as navigation light buoys, light poles, and lighthouses. In the future, with the continuous advancement of technology and further reduction of costs, wave energy power generation devices are expected to be applied on a larger scale, providing sufficient energy support for remote islands and marine ranches.

[0004] Among them, the raft wave energy power generation device captures wave energy through a number of raft-like floating bodies floating on the water surface. The raft wave energy power generation device is usually hingedly connected by a plurality of raft wave panels. Under the impact of waves, the wave panels produce relative movement to drive the hydraulic device to displace, thereby converting wave energy into mechanical energy, thereby further generating electricity. The raft wave energy power generation device is usually hingedly connected by a plurality of raft wave panels. Under the impact of waves, the wave panels produce relative movement to drive the hydraulic device to displace, thereby converting wave energy into mechanical energy, thereby further generating electricity. The raft wave energy power generation device has the characteristics of large energy absorption, high power generation efficiency, and strong survivability; However, since the wave-facing surface of the raft-type wave energy power generation device is small, its ability to absorb wave energy is relatively weak, resulting in low power generation efficiency in sea areas with relatively rich wave energy resources. There is a certain amount of energy loss in the energy conversion process, resulting in low power generation efficiency of the device and inability to fully utilize wave energy resources.

The housing is connected to a joint of a plane hinge through a connecting rod. The rotating shaft 27 and the impeller 13 are arranged inside the housing. One end of the rotating shaft 27 is connected to the impeller 13, and the other end of the rotating shaft 27 is connected to the connecting rod; the impeller 13 has two blades. The incoming flow correction system under each raft is impacted by waves. When the arrangement direction of the power generation device is at an angle with the incoming flow direction of the waves, the rotating shaft 27 and the impeller 13 in the incoming flow correction system are impacted by an oblique direction at a certain angle to the axial direction, generating a torque to drive the raft to rotate until the rotating shaft 27 of the incoming flow correction system is parallel to the incoming flow direction, and the torque disappears. At this time, the arrangement direction of the power generation device is parallel to the incoming flow direction.

[0022] One of the preferred embodiments is as follows Figure 4 As shown, the hydraulic power generation device comprises a piston 28, a hydraulic cylinder 29, two gas turbines 31 and a generator 30; the piston 28 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod, the piston 28 is arranged in the hydraulic cylinder 29, the two sides of the hydraulic cylinder 29 are respectively connected to the gas turbines 31, and a generator 30 is arranged between the two gas turbines 31; when the raft type wave energy power generation device is impacted by the waves, the two adjacent raft sections are relatively displaced and rotated, driving the piston 28 to move, compressing the gas in the hydraulic cylinder 29, and driving the gas turbine 31 to rotate, thereby driving the generator 30 to generate electricity.

[0023] Example 1 The raft is a cylindrical hollow float. Adjacent rafts are hinged by spherical hinges. A vertical connecting rod is connected below the hinge joint, and the other end is connected to a hydraulic power generation device. A flexible mooring cable 16 is connected below the hydraulic power generation device to fix it to the seabed or a heavy object. The front and rear ends of both sides of the raft are connected to the hydraulic power generation device by a fixing device. A plane hinge joint is set at the center of the lower part of the raft to connect the hydraulic power generation devices on both sides respectively. The other end of the hydraulic power generation device is fixed to the vertical connecting rod. The upper end of the fixed vertical connecting rod is hinged to the plane hinge connection, and the lower end is connected to the piston device of the hydraulic power generation device below through a fixed rod. The connecting rods at both ends of the oblique hydraulic power generation device are connected to the plane hinge.

[0024] The two sides of the raft body and the two ends of the hydraulic power generation device are connected to the adjacent raft body by using fixing devices, and the fixing devices are connected by welding, and the two connected objects do not have relative rotational movement.

[0025] The spherical hinge connection can rotate in any direction, while the planar hinge can only rotate within the plane where the long side of the raft is located.

[0026] The incoming flow correction system is set at the center of the lower part of the raft body, which is connected by a plane hinge. The correction system includes a shell, a rotating shaft, and an impeller. The shell is connected to the hinge joint through a connecting rod, and contains a rotating shaft inside, which is connected to the impeller. The impeller has two blades. The hydraulic power generation device includes a hydraulic piston, a hydraulic cylinder, a gas turbine and a generator. The piston movement compresses the gas in the hydraulic cylinder to drive the gas turbine to rotate, which further drives the generator to generate electricity.

[0027] When the raft wave energy power generation device is impacted by waves, two adjacent raft bodies are relatively displaced and rotated, driving the pistons in the first hydraulic power generation device 3, the second hydraulic power generation device 4, the third hydraulic power generation device 5, the fourth hydraulic power generation device 6, the fifth hydraulic power generation device 7, and the sixth hydraulic power generation device 8 to move, compressing the gas in the hydraulic cylinder. The gas flows through the turbine to cause it to rotate, further driving the generator to generate electricity. When the wave crest moves to the location of the device, the device moves upward as a whole, driving the seventh hydraulic power generation device 9 to generate electricity by piston movement. At the same time, the incoming flow correction system under each raft body is impacted by waves. When the arrangement direction of the power generation device is at an angle with the incoming flow direction of the waves, the rotating shaft 27 and the impeller 13 of the incoming flow correction system are subjected to an oblique impact force at a certain angle to the axial direction, generating a torque to drive the raft body to rotate until the rotating shaft 27 of the incoming flow correction system is parallel to the incoming flow direction, and the torque disappears. At this time, the arrangement direction of the power generation device is parallel to the incoming flow direction.

[0028] When the raft type wave energy power generation device is impacted by waves, the mooring cable 26 is tightened to generate mooring force and act on the raft type wave energy power generation device through the connecting rod 25, ensuring that the device is in a relatively stable position under the action of waves. At the same time, due to the positioning effect, the relative displacement and rotation between the raft bodies are increased, and the seventh hydraulic power generation device 9 undergoes a larger displacement movement, further improving the energy capture efficiency.

[0029] The raft wave energy power generation device in the present invention can absorb the energy of the vertical and two-direction swing at the same time. Compared with the conventional raft device, it increases the absorption and utilization of wave energy in two dimensions, greatly improving the energy capture and conversion efficiency. At the same time, the device is equipped with an incoming flow correction system, which can ensure that the arrangement direction of the raft body of the raft wave energy device is basically consistent with the incoming wave direction, thereby improving the wave energy capture capacity and efficiency. The new raft wave energy power generation device in the present invention has high working efficiency and good application prospects.
