DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a wave energy power generation device includes an oscillating water column power generation mechanism, an oscillating float power generation mechanism and an electric energy conditioning mechanism.

[0023] The oscillating water column power generation mechanism includes at least one oscillating water column power generation cabin 10. The lower part of the oscillating water column power generation cabin 10 is placed below the sea surface. A bottom water outlet 5 is provided at the bottom of the oscillating water column power generation cabin 10. Seawater enters the lower part of the oscillating water column power generation cabin 10 from the bottom water outlet 5. An air turbine generator 6 is provided at the top of the oscillating water column power generation cabin 10.

[0024] The oscillating float power generation mechanism includes at least one oscillating float power generation cabin 12 floating on the sea surface, in which a float 23 and a plurality of hydraulic cylinders 15 are arranged, the piston of the hydraulic cylinder 15 is fixedly connected to a moving rod 18, the moving rod 18 extends to the outside of the cylinder body and is rotatably connected to a transmission rod 20, all the transmission rods 20 are rotatably connected to a connecting platform 22, the float 23 is fixedly connected to the connecting platform 22, and the cylinder bodies of all the hydraulic cylinders 15 are commonly connected to a liquid turbine generator 35 through a liquid distribution assembly. More specifically, one end of the transmission rod 20 is rotatably connected to the moving rod 18 through a first ball joint 19, and the other end of the transmission rod 20 is rotatably connected to the connecting platform 22 through a second ball joint 21.

[0025] All the oscillating water column power generation chambers 10 and the oscillating float power generation chambers 12 are fixedly connected.

[0026] The electric energy conditioning mechanism is used to collect and transmit the electric energy generated by the air turbine generator 6 and the liquid turbine generator 35 .

[0027] When in use, the entire device is set on the sea surface. The oscillating water column power generation mechanism and the oscillating float power generation mechanism can generate electricity independently and generate the first electric energy and the second electric energy respectively. The electric energy conditioning mechanism can collect and condition the first electric energy and the second electric energy to obtain the total electric energy, and output the total electric energy to the outside, so as to make full use of wave energy for power generation.

[0028] In the oscillating water column power generation mechanism, a water chamber 7 is formed at the lower part of the oscillating water column power generation cabin 10, and an air chamber 8 is formed at the upper part of the oscillating water column power generation cabin 10. When seawater enters and exits the oscillating water column power generation cabin 10 through the bottom water inlet 5, the water level in the water chamber 7 will change. When the water level in the water chamber 7 rises, a positive pressure environment can be formed in the air chamber 8, causing the gas to flow upward, and driving the air turbine generator 6 to operate and generate the first electric energy. When the water level in the water chamber 7 drops, a negative pressure environment can be formed in the air chamber 8, thereby sucking in external gas. During the process of gas flowing into the air chamber 8, the air turbine generator 6 is driven to operate and generate the first electric energy. Obviously, an air guide hole 9 should be opened at the top of the oscillating water column power generation cabin 10. The air guide hole 9 is used to allow the gas in the air chamber 8 to flow outward or for external gas to flow into the air chamber 8. Furthermore, the structure of the air turbine generator 6 includes a power generation body 24 and a pneumatic turbine 26 fixedly arranged on the top of the oscillating water column power generation cabin 10, and the air guide hole 9 faces the pneumatic turbine 26, and the impeller of the pneumatic turbine 26 is fixedly sleeved on the power input shaft 25 of the power generation body 24. The gas can drive the impeller of the starting turbine 26 to rotate during the process of passing through the air guide hole 9, and then drive the power input shaft 25 to rotate, thereby driving the power generation body 24 to generate the first electric energy. The specific power generation principle of the air turbine generator 6 belongs to the prior art and will not be repeated here.

[0029] In the oscillating float power generation mechanism, when the oscillating float power generation cabin 12 is driven by waves and moves, the float 23 is relatively displaced with the hydraulic cylinder 15 under the action of inertia, and then drives all the moving rods 18 to move through the connecting platform 22 and the transmission rod 20. During the movement of the moving rod 8, the piston can be driven to move in the cylinder body of the hydraulic cylinder 15, thereby driving the liquid in the cylinder body to flow. During the flow of the liquid, the liquid enters the liquid distribution component and finally drives the liquid turbine generator 35 to move to generate the second electric energy. All the hydraulic cylinders 15 are distributed in an annular shape to ensure that the piston of the hydraulic cylinder 15 can be driven to move during the movement of the float 23 in any direction, thereby improving the power generation efficiency of the liquid float power generation mechanism.

[0030] The present invention can simultaneously utilize an oscillating water column power generation mechanism and an oscillating float power generation mechanism to generate electricity. The oscillating water column power generation mechanism and the oscillating float power generation mechanism absorb wave energy in different forms respectively, can fully absorb wave energy, and can generate electricity stably in a complex marine environment, especially in offshore areas where irregular waves frequently act, can achieve efficient absorption and stable conversion of wave energy, and ensure the continuous reliability of power generation output and wave-breaking functions; because all oscillating water column power generation cabins 10 and all oscillating float power generation cabins 2 are fixedly connected, the overall structural strength is higher, the stability is stronger, and long-term stable power generation can be achieved.

[0031] In order to further ensure that seawater can smoothly enter and exit the oscillating water column power generation cabin 10, a side water inlet 4 is opened at the lower side of the oscillating water column power generation cabin 10, and the side water inlet 4 is placed below the sea surface. The side water inlet 4 and the bottom water inlet 5 cooperate with each other to make the process of seawater entering and exiting the oscillating water column power generation cabin 10 smoother, thereby making the pressure in the air chamber 8 change more frequently, thereby achieving the effect of improving the power generation efficiency of the oscillating water column power generation mechanism.

[0032] The specific arrangement of the hydraulic cylinder 15 is as follows: a stabilizing platform 16 is horizontally fixedly arranged in the oscillating float power generation cabin 12, the stabilizing platform 16 is located above the connecting platform 22, and a balancing channel 17 is opened in the middle of the stabilizing platform 16, and the cylinder body of the hydraulic cylinder 15 is fixedly arranged on the stabilizing platform 16. All the hydraulic cylinders 15 are fixedly arranged on the stabilizing platform 16, which can ensure that the positions of all the hydraulic cylinders 15 are stable, and further ensure that no matter how the float 23 moves, it can drive the piston of the hydraulic cylinder 15 to move, thereby improving the power generation efficiency of the oscillating float power generation mechanism.

[0033] The specific structure of the liquid distribution assembly is as follows: the liquid distribution assembly includes a plurality of distribution units corresponding to the hydraulic cylinder 15 one by one, and the distribution unit includes a high-pressure pipeline 28 and a low-pressure pipeline 38. One end of the high-pressure pipeline 28 is connected to the first position of the cylinder body, and one end of the low-pressure pipeline 38 is connected to the second position of the cylinder body, and the first position and the second position are respectively located on both sides of the piston. A high-pressure accumulator 29, a speed regulating valve 30 and a low-pressure accumulator 36 are arranged in sequence between the other end of the high-pressure pipeline 28 and the other end of the low-pressure pipeline 38. A kinetic energy output point is formed between the speed regulating valve 30 and the low-pressure accumulator 36. The kinetic energy output points of all distribution units are connected to a hydraulic motor 37 in common, and the hydraulic motor 37 is used to drive the liquid turbine generator 35. Because the first position and the second position are respectively located on both sides of the piston, no matter how the float 23 drives the piston to move, the liquid in the hydraulic cylinder 23 can be output to the liquid distribution assembly, and then the hydraulic motor 37 is driven to move by the liquid distribution assembly. During the movement of the hydraulic motor 37, the liquid turbine generator 35 is driven to move and generate the second electric energy. In the liquid distribution assembly, the high-pressure accumulator 29, the speed regulating valve 30 and the low-pressure accumulator 36 cooperate with each other to buffer the pressure on the liquid distribution assembly and the hydraulic motor 37 during the flow of the buffer liquid, prevent overload operation, and ensure the output stability of the liquid turbine generator 35.

[0034] In order to further improve the power generation efficiency of the oscillating float power generation mechanism, the distribution unit includes a hydraulic bridge circuit 27, and the hydraulic bridge circuit 27 is provided with a first input interface and a second input interface, the first input interface is used to connect the high-pressure pipeline 28, and the second input interface is used to connect the low-pressure pipeline 38. The hydraulic bridge circuit 27 specifically includes four one-way valves, namely a first one-way valve 31, a second one-way valve 32, a third one-way valve 33 and a fourth one-way valve 34, wherein the first one-way valve 31 and the fourth one-way valve 34 are a group, and the outlets of the first one-way valve 31 and the fourth one-way valve 34 form a first output interface and are connected to the oil inlet of the hydraulic motor 37, and the second one-way valve 32 and the third one-way valve 33 are a group, and the outlets of the second one-way valve 32 and the third one-way valve 33 form a second output interface and are connected to the oil outlet of the hydraulic motor 37.

[0035] By setting up the hydraulic bridge 27, during the up and down reciprocating motion of the piston, the liquid output from the hydraulic cylinder 15 on both sides of the piston can be integrated into the same direction of high-pressure liquid, and then transported to the high-pressure accumulator 29 for energy storage, and the flow is adjusted by the speed control valve 30, and stably input into the hydraulic motor 37 to drive the hydraulic motor 37 to operate; after the liquid is discharged from the oil outlet of the hydraulic motor 37, it is buffered by the low-pressure accumulator 36, and then returned to the hydraulic cylinder 15 through the low-pressure pipeline 38 to form a circulation, thereby realizing the continuous and efficient conversion of wave energy into electrical energy.

[0036] In one embodiment of the present invention, the hydraulic cylinders 15 can be divided into multiple groups, each group of hydraulic cylinders 15 has two hydraulic cylinders 15, and on the basis of all the hydraulic cylinders 15 being distributed in a ring shape, two hydraulic cylinders 15 symmetrical about the center line form a group. Each group of hydraulic cylinders 15 corresponds to a hydraulic motor 37 and a liquid turbine generator 35. Through this arrangement, the actions of the pistons in the two hydraulic cylinders 15 in the same group are opposite, and the two hydraulic cylinders 15 can drive the hydraulic motor 37 and the liquid turbine generator 35 more stably.
