The right end rotation direction is changed to counterclockwise through the transmission of the helical gear system; at this time, the right end one-way bearing is locked, and the left end one-way bearing can rotate freely. The intermediate shaft is driven by the right end gear and is not affected by the left end gear. The rotation direction of the intermediate shaft is clockwise.

[0043] When the mass moves downward, it drives the ball screw to rotate clockwise, thereby driving the left end gear to rotate counterclockwise. At this time, the left end one-way bearing is locked, and the right end one-way bearing can rotate freely. The intermediate shaft is driven by the left end gear and is not affected by the right end gear. The rotation direction of the intermediate shaft is unified to the clockwise direction, thus achieving one-way output.

[0044] The power generation process of the present invention:

[0045] The coil flywheel acts as a stator and is stable, while the magnet flywheel acts as a rotor, which rotates unidirectionally with the motion conversion device. When the magnet and the coil rotate relative to each other, the magnetic flux of the coil changes, thereby generating a voltage. Since the frequency and amplitude of the waves are random, the current generated by the wave energy converter is unstable, so a rectifier circuit or a filter circuit is required to convert the unbalanced current into a stable current for the sensor. The circuit module consists of a rectifier circuit, a charging capacitor and a sensor. It stores the electric energy generated by the coil in the capacitor for use by the sensor in the buoy. The rectifier circuit is a full-bridge rectifier circuit, and the charging capacitor is a large-capacity capacitor. The rectifier circuit uses the unidirectional conductivity of the diode to convert AC into DC. When the rectifier voltage is higher than the capacitor voltage, the capacitor is charged; when the rectifier voltage is lower than the capacitor voltage, the capacitor is discharged, so the output voltage tends to be smooth.

[0046] The above specific implementation modes are used to explain the present invention rather than to limit the present invention. 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.
