[0028] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0029] Example

[0030] Refer to the accompanying drawings, such as Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, a multifunctional ocean power generation device that integrates wave and surge energy includes a floating platform 1. A plurality of hollow cylindrical floating barrels 11 are fixedly mounted on the outer edge of the floating platform 1. The floating barrels 11 can be discarded iron or plastic barrels. These barrels help the floating platform 1 float on the sea surface. A notch 12 is cut into the center of the floating platform 1, giving it a ring-shaped shape. An upwardly protruding arch 13 is positioned between the notch 12 and the outer edge of the floating platform 1. This arch 13 allows some waves to flow toward the notch 12 on both the outer and inner sides of the floating platform 1.

[0031] The power generation device comprises a pendulum 3, which is positioned within the notch 12. A first connecting block 31 is centrally located within the pendulum 3. This first connecting block 31 is connected to a first connecting shaft 33 via a cross coupling 32. When the pendulum 3 encounters waves or swells on the ocean surface, it pitches up and down. Due to the action of the cross coupling 32, the first connecting shaft 33 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise as the pendulum 3 pitches up and down. The first connecting shaft 33 is connected to the input of the gearbox 22. A gear is mounted on the portion of the first connecting shaft 33 within the gearbox 22. This rotation is then transmitted to the output of the gearbox 22, amplifying or reducing the mechanical energy generated.

[0032] The power generation equipment also includes a generator module 2, which is fixed to the floating platform 1. The generator module 2 includes a generator 21 and a gearbox 22, enabling mechanical transmission between the generator 21 and the gearbox 22. Mechanical energy at the output of the gearbox 22 can be converted into electrical energy by the generator 21. Furthermore, the generator module 2 includes a first output device 23 and a second output device 24. The input of the first output device 23 is connected to the output of the gearbox 22 via a second connecting shaft 231, and the output of the first output device 23 is connected to the input of the second output device 24 via a third connecting shaft 232. The output of the second output device 24 is connected to the motor shaft of the generator 21. The first and second output devices 23, 24 are each equipped with at least one set of bevel gears to transmit the mechanical energy output from the gearbox 22 to the input of the generator 21. By configuring the first and second output devices 23, 24, the direction of the mechanical energy transmitted by the gearbox 22 can be changed, thereby facilitating the layout of the generator module 2.

[0033] In addition, the second connecting shaft 231, the third connecting shaft 232, and the motor shaft are each divided into two sections, and each section of the second connecting shaft 231, each section of the third connecting shaft 232, and each section of the motor shaft are connected by a universal coupling 25. By arranging the connecting shaft in sections, the problem of the connecting shaft being easily broken due to excessive length is avoided. At the same time, it also ensures that the transmission shafts between the devices are concentrically arranged during the mechanical transmission process, thereby preventing vibration of the mechanical device.

[0034] In addition, if Figure 5 As shown, the pendulum 3 is in the shape of an inverted truncated cone or cone. This makes the side of the pendulum 3 an inclined surface, which can generate horizontal and vertical force components when subjected to force, thereby simultaneously adapting to the impact of waves and swells and realizing the utilization of wave energy and swell energy.

[0035] In addition, if Figure 5 、 Figure 6 As shown, a first bracket 34 is fixedly provided between the first connecting block 31 and the pendulum 3. By providing the first bracket 34, the height of the first connecting block 31 can be preset.

[0036] The above solution is based on the case where there is only one pendulum 3 and one generator module 2. Alternatively, there can be multiple pendulums 3 and multiple generator modules 2. In this case, the pendulums 3 are circumferentially distributed around the notches 12, and the generator modules 2 are circumferentially distributed around the floating platform 1. In this case, the number of generator modules 2 and the number of pendulums 3 can correspond one to one.

[0037] Alternatively, the floating platform 1 and the notch 12 may both be square. There are four pendulums 3, each located at the four corners of the notch 12. There are eight generator modules 2, with the first connecting block 31 being L-shaped. Each pendulum 3 has two first connecting shafts 33 connected to its first connecting block 31, meaning each pendulum 3 is equipped with two generator modules 2.

[0038] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any changes or replacements that can be easily thought of by any technician familiar with this technical field within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
