A generator and a corresponding power storage device are provided inside the buoyancy assembly 2. The high-pressure hydraulic oil output by the hydraulic cylinder 103 drives the hydraulic motor to rotate, and the hydraulic motor directly drives the generator to rotate to generate electricity.

[0036] The damping suspension device 1 includes a top frame 101, a connecting seat 105, a damping buoy 106 and a damping disc body 108.

The floating chamber assembly 2 is placed between the top frame 101 and the connecting seat 105.

[0037] A hydraulic cylinder 103 is provided on the top frame 101, the top end of the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 103 is connected to the top frame 101, the cylinder barrel of the hydraulic cylinder 103 is connected to the buoyancy chamber assembly 2, a through hole A and a roller guide support A104 are provided on the connecting seat 105, a connecting ring 1051 is provided on the connecting seat 105, the connecting seat 105 is connected to the chains 303 of the three sets of anchoring devices 3 through three connecting rings 1051, and the roller guide supports A104 are distributed at the openings of the through hole A at both ends of the connecting seat 105.

[0038] The roller guide support A104 includes a fixing ring A1041, a support rod A1042 and a roller A1043. The fixing ring A1041 is connected to the connecting seat 105.

The roller A1043 contacts the central guide shaft 205, so that when the central guide shaft 205 slides, the rotation of the roller A1043 reduces friction, reduces the system operation resistance and the wear of the central guide shaft 205, and further improves the energy conversion efficiency and service life of the device.

[0040] The damping disc 108 includes a fixed block 1081, a connecting column 1082, and a baffle A 1083.

[0042] The roller guide support B203 includes a fixed ring B2031, a support rod B2032 and a roller B2033. The fixed ring B2031 is connected to the float 202.

[0043] The float 202 is shaped like a truncated cone. A rubber buffer 204 is mounted on the outer wall of the retaining ring B2031 on the support rod B2032, away from the float 202. Under high wave loads, the buffer 204 prevents excessive impact between the float 202 and the damping suspension device 1 at its extreme ends, ensuring stable operation of the device.

Buoy A301 is mounted on a connecting chain 303 connected to the damping suspension device 1, and buoy B302 is connected to the ground anchor 304 via the chain 303. By adjusting the length of the anchor chain 303, the anchoring device 3 can be installed in any sea area. The buoyancy generated by buoy A301 balances the weight of the chain 303 from buoy B302 to the damping suspension device 1, while the buoyancy generated by buoy B302 balances the weight of the chain 303 from buoy B302 to the ground anchor 304, preventing the weight of the chain 303 from affecting the operation of the device.

[0045] The anchor 304 includes a connecting rod 3041 and a hook 3042. One end of the connecting rod 3041 is hinged to the chain 303, and the other end of the connecting rod 3041 is connected to the hook 3042. The hook 3042 can be hung on the seabed or other hard objects.

[0046] A method for installing a wave power generation component comprises the following steps:

[0047] S1: First, place the damping suspension device 1 and the buoyancy chamber assembly 2 into the installation sea area, and then place the anchoring device 3 into the sea. The number of anchoring devices 3 to be installed is determined according to the actual situation. The chains 303 in the anchoring devices 3 are sequentially connected to the connecting rings 1051;

[0048] S2: Use a towing vessel to adjust the position of the anchoring device 3. After the adjustment is completed, observe the draft depth scale of the floating body 202 and adjust the number of balancing weights 107 to make the device reach the expected design center position. After the adjustment is completed, open the working valve of the hydraulic cylinder 103 to start the generator.
