Specific implementation mode

[0025] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , an automatic charging platform for an unmanned vehicle of a wave energy power generation device, including three oscillating water column type wave energy power generation cylinders 1, floating bodies 2, three parallel connecting rods 3 and three groups of charging locking components; the three oscillating water column type wave energy power generation cylinders 1 are arranged in a triangular shape and are connected by three parallel connecting rods 3; a floating body 2 is arranged below the oscillating water column type wave energy power generation cylinder 1; the three groups of charging locking components are respectively connected between the three oscillating water column type wave energy power generation cylinders 1; the oscillating water column type wave energy power generation cylinder 1 is electrically connected to the charging locking component. It also includes an energy storage device, the three oscillating water column type wave energy power generation cylinders 1 are electrically connected to the energy storage device, and the energy storage device is electrically connected to the three groups of charging locking components respectively.

[0027] Specifically, the oscillating water column type wave energy power generation cylinder 1 mainly has an air chamber, which is composed of an empty box. There is an opening in the part below the water surface, and there is an air flow channel (air inlet and outlet) in the upper part of the air chamber. Resonance is achieved between the wave and the water column in the empty box. Water enters the empty box, pushing the water level in the box to rise. The rising water level increases the air pressure in the box, and the air in the air chamber is discharged through the inlet and outlet holes. Due to the narrowness of the air holes, the gas sprays out at a high speed. When the wave trough approaches the front wall of the empty box, water is drawn out of the empty box, and the water level in the box drops. The dropping water level reduces the air pressure in the box, and the outside air enters the air chamber at a high speed through the inlet and outlet holes. The flowing in and out gas will drive the turbine to rotate, which converts the wave energy into mechanical energy, and then generates electricity through a generator, and stores the electric energy in the energy storage device, and supplies power to the three groups of charging locking components through the energy storage device.

[0028] Specifically, the charging locking assembly includes a charging plate 4. An access limiting groove 5 is formed on the charging plate 4. The upper end of the access limiting groove 5 is connected with an L-shaped vertical limiting buckle 6. Two circular grooves 7 are formed on the charging plate 4, and a first wireless charging coil 8 is placed in each circular groove 7. The two circular grooves 7 are respectively located on both sides of the access limiting groove 5. The charging locking assembly further includes two guiding plates 9, which are respectively connected to both sides of the front end of the charging plate 4. The opposite surfaces of the two guiding plates 9 are V-shaped.

[0029] Specifically, it further includes a charging head assembly 10 connected to the unmanned vehicle. The unmanned vehicle is connected to the first wireless charging coil 8 on the charging plate 4 through the charging head assembly 10. The charging head assembly 10 includes a main rod 11 and a charging head 12. The lower end of the main rod 11 is connected to the unmanned vehicle, and the upper end is connected to the charging head 12. Two second wireless charging coils are connected to both ends of the lower end surface of the charging head 12.

[0030] Specifically, when the ship cruises near the charging platform, the rotary servo erects the main rod 11, and docks the two wireless charging areas of the ship and the platform together through the guiding plates 9 and the limiting buckle for charging.

[0031] Specifically, the main rod 11 on the unmanned vehicle enters into the access limiting groove 5 from between the two guiding plates 9, and the second wireless charging coil on the lower end surface of the charging head 12 comes into contact with the two first wireless charging coils 8 to start charging.

[0032] Specifically, an L-shaped plate 14 is connected to the edges of the charging plate 4 and the guiding plates 9, and the L-shaped plate 14 is connected to the side wall of the oscillating water column type wave energy power generation cylinder 1.

[0033] Specifically, the floating body 2 is connected to the sea body through an anchor chain 13. The floating body 2 is located underwater and the buoyancy it provides is greater than the gravity of the platform, and it is dragged and positioned by the anchor chain system.

[0034] Specifically, the charging locking assembly is located between the two oscillating water column type wave energy power generation cylinders 1. The two guiding plates 9 improve the error tolerance rate for the ship to accurately enter the limiting hole, and broaden the docking range between the platform and the ship. The L-shaped vertical limiting buckle 6 forms a certain angle with the charging plate 4 to limit the direction of the ship in the wind and waves.

[0035] The unmanned vehicle automatic charging platform of this wave energy power generation device uses wave energy to supply power to the unmanned vehicle automatic charging platform, can charge small unmanned ships, and enables the ships to get rid of the limitations of the distance and time of offshore operations; at the same time, a charging locking assembly is set up to overcome the influence of sea wind and waves on the charging stability.

[0036] It is adapted to a variety of unmanned vehicles and can charge single-hull ships and multi-hull ships. The charging locking assembly has accurate docking, the platform structure is simple, and the wave resistance performance is good. It has a relatively wide application field.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
