Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power generation, and in particular to a device for generating power using wave energy, specifically a pendulum-type composite magnetic flux wave energy generator. Background Art

[0002] As the global demand for renewable energy increases, ocean energy, as a clean, renewable resource with high energy density, has received widespread attention. Wave energy is an important component of ocean energy. Its energy comes from the effect of wind on the sea surface. It has the characteristics of wide distribution and strong predictability. Compared with wind energy and solar energy, wave energy has a higher energy density and is less affected by seasons and climate. It is an ideal renewable energy source.

[0003] Wave energy power generation systems usually consist of wave energy collection devices, energy conversion devices, and power output devices. Among the existing wave energy power generation technologies, pendulum wave energy power generation is a common form. Its principle is to use the ups and downs of waves to drive the pendulum device to move, and then drive the generator to generate electricity through mechanical transmission or hydraulic systems. However, traditional wave energy generators have some shortcomings, such as low efficiency in converting mechanical energy into electrical energy, and large energy dissipation in the capture and conversion links, resulting in a high unit cost of wave energy power generation, making it difficult to gain an advantage in market competition.

[0004] In addition, the existing wave energy power generation devices often cannot meet the requirements of efficient power generation under the working conditions of low speed, high torque and narrow space. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to develop an efficient generator that can adapt to the working conditions of low speed and high torque in the wave energy power generation system. Summary of the invention

[0005] According to the technical problem raised above, a pendulum-type composite magnetic flux wave energy generator is provided, which can effectively improve the efficiency of wave energy power generation, adapt to the working conditions of low speed and high torque, and realize efficient power generation in a limited space.

[0006] The technical means adopted by the present invention are as follows:

[0007] A pendulum-type composite magnetic flux wave energy generator, comprising:

[0008] The pendulum is a semi-cylindrical structure made of high-density and high-strength alloy steel metal material. The pendulum swings back and forth under the action of waves to capture wave energy and drive the motor rotor to rotate;

[0009] The rotor includes a rotor core and two sets of permanent magnets. The rotor core is a cylindrical structure with a hollow interior and an open end. The two sets of permanent magnets are installed on the inner surface of the rotor, respectively using radial and axial magnetization methods;

[0010] Stator: The stator is installed in the rotor core and includes a stator core, a radial armature winding and an axial armature winding.

[0011] Furthermore, the two groups of permanent magnets are radially magnetized permanent magnets and axially magnetized permanent magnets, respectively, wherein:

[0012] The radially magnetized permanent magnets are tile-shaped and are distributed alternately with N and S polarities on the circumference of the inner side of the rotor core. Multiple radially magnetized permanent magnets form an annular structure, and the magnetic flux they generate is along the radial direction of the motor.

[0013] The axially magnetized permanent magnets are in the shape of a fan ring and are distributed alternately with N and S polarities on the end face inside the rotor core. Multiple axially magnetized permanent magnets form a circular ring structure, and the magnetic flux they generate is along the axial direction of the motor.

[0014] Furthermore, the stator core is provided with radial stator teeth evenly along the outer circumference, and the end surface of the stator core is provided with axial stator slots evenly along the axial direction.

[0015] Furthermore, the radial armature winding is wound on the radial stator teeth; and the axial armature winding is embedded in the axial stator slots.

[0016] Furthermore, the radial armature winding and the axial armature winding are interlinked with the magnetic flux of the radially magnetized permanent magnet and the axially magnetized permanent magnet respectively.

[0017] Furthermore, the axial armature winding is fixed in the axial stator slot through a winding bracket.

[0018] Furthermore, the winding bracket upper cover is a detachable structure. The winding bracket front cover of the winding bracket is first removed, and then the axial armature winding is wound on the winding bracket, and then the winding bracket is embedded in the axial stator slot, and finally the winding bracket front cover is installed to complete the fixation of the axial armature winding.

[0019] Furthermore, the gaps between the stator core, the axial armature winding and the winding support are filled with epoxy resin.

[0020] Furthermore, the surface of the pendulum is treated with anti-corrosion to adapt to the marine environment.

[0021] Furthermore, the pendulum type composite magnetic flux wave energy generator also includes a shell, which is used to protect the internal components of the pendulum type composite magnetic flux wave energy generator from seawater erosion.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0023] 1. The permanent magnet motor combining radial and axial magnetic fluxes of the present invention has high power density and high torque density, can generate a large power output in a small volume, and is suitable for the narrow working environment of wave energy generation.

[0024] 2. The kinetic energy of the waves of the present invention is mainly manifested as mechanical movement of floating up and down. This design can provide a large torque to drive the motor to generate electrical energy, and adapt to the low-speed, high-torque working conditions in the wave energy system.

[0025] 3. The present invention effectively improves the power density of the generator by optimizing the magnetic circuit design, while reducing the volume and weight of the generator and improving its mechanical strength and structural stability.

[0026] 4. The pendulum body of the present invention is made of high-density and high-strength alloy steel material and has undergone anti-corrosion treatment, which can effectively resist the erosion of the marine environment and extend the service life of the equipment.

[0027] Based on the above reasons, the present invention can be widely promoted in fields such as wave energy generation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0037] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings 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. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and is by no means intended to limit the present invention and its application or use. 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.

[0038] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit exemplary embodiments according to the present invention. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form. In addition, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, it indicates the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components and / or combinations thereof.

[0039] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement of the parts and steps described in these embodiments, the numerical expressions and numerical values ​​do not limit the scope of the present invention. At the same time, it should be clear that, for ease of description, the sizes of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn according to the actual proportional relationship. The technology, methods and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant field may not be discussed in detail, but in appropriate cases, the technology, methods and equipment should be regarded as part of the authorization specification. In all examples shown and discussed here, any specific value should be interpreted as merely exemplary, rather than as a limitation. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar numbers and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, so once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further discussed in subsequent drawings.

[0040] In the description of the present invention, it is necessary to understand that the directions or positional relationships indicated by directional words such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "lateral, vertical, perpendicular, horizontal" and "top, bottom" are usually based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise specified, these directional words do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction or be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention: the directional words "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the contours of each component itself.

[0041] For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "above", "above", "on the upper surface of", "above", etc. may be used here to describe the spatial positional relationship between a device or feature and other devices or features as shown in the figure. It should be understood that spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation described in the figure. For example, if the device in the accompanying drawings is inverted, the device described as "above other devices or structures" or "above other devices or structures" will be positioned as "below other devices or structures" or "below their position devices or structures". Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below". The device can also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptions used here are interpreted accordingly.

[0042] In addition, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to limit components is only for the convenience of distinguishing the corresponding components. If not otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0052] When implementing the invention, as a preferred embodiment of the invention, see Figure 2 , the axial armature winding 8 is fixed in the axial stator slot 62 through the winding bracket 5. The upper cover of the winding bracket 5 is a detachable structure. First, the winding bracket front cover 51 of the winding bracket 5 is removed, and then the axial armature winding 8 is wound on the winding bracket 5, and then the winding bracket 5 is embedded in the axial stator slot 62, and finally the winding bracket front cover 51 is installed, so as to complete the fixing of the axial armature winding 8.

[0053] In specific implementation, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the gaps between the stator core 6, the axial armature winding 8 and the winding support 5 are filled with epoxy resin to improve the thermal conductivity of the gaps and the firmness between the three.
