[0001] The utility model relates to the field of underwater emergency energy, in particular to a trigger-type preset emergency power supply device capable of recovering wave energy. Background Art

[0002] Currently, underwater pre-installed emergency power supply devices are widely used in various underwater environments and underwater equipment. Their main function is to automatically start generating electricity in the event of a main power supply system failure in the event of an emergency, providing continuous and stable power support for various underwater equipment. Therefore, underwater pre-installed emergency power supply devices must have the following characteristics: First, they must be able to generate electricity with high reliability and stability even after long periods of inactivity; second, they must have rapid response capabilities, able to start and provide power in a short period of time; and finally, they must be waterproof and corrosion-resistant to adapt to the requirements of the harsh underwater environment.

[0003] The research and development and application of an underwater emergency power supply device that can recycle wave energy mentioned in this utility model patent is of great significance for improving the timeliness of emergency power supply in underwater operations and ensuring safe and stable power output. It also plays a positive role in promoting the development of underwater equipment technology. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model aims to provide a trigger-type pre-set emergency power supply device that can recover wave energy.

[0005] In order to achieve the above technical objectives, the technical solutions of the present invention are as follows:

[0006] A trigger-type pre-set emergency power supply device that can recycle wave energy is characterized in that it includes a seawater desalination module, a hydrogen production module, a power generation module, a control module and a wave energy trigger device module. The water outlet of the seawater desalination module is connected to the hydrogen production module through a pipeline, wherein the pipelines are connected by a compression joint. The hydrogen outlet of the hydrogen production module is connected to the power generation module through a pipeline, wherein the pipelines are connected by a compression joint. The power generation module includes a fuel cell, an air / oxygen tank, a pressure reducing device and an inverter. At the same time, the hydrogen generated by the reactor in the hydrogen production module and the air / oxygen stored in the air / oxygen tank are passed through the pressure reducing device and then introduced into the fuel cell to generate electricity. The generated direct current is converted into alternating current for use by an external load under the action of the inverter. The control module is connected to the controllers on the other three modules through a wire. The wave energy trigger device module is supported by a bearing and fixed by a clamp. The operation steps of the emergency power generation system are as follows: the wave energy triggering device module normally recovers and converts energy, and then stores energy. When emergency energy is needed, the control module is powered on. After receiving the start signal, the control module quickly opens the water inlet valve 1 and the water inlet valve 2 to connect the water inlet pipeline of the entire system, so that seawater automatically enters the seawater desalination module for desalination treatment under the action of external pressure. When the liquid level of the purified seawater in the reactor reaches the liquid level sensor, the control module will immediately close the water inlet valve 2 to prevent hydrogen from overflowing, and then close the water inlet valve 1 to cut off the seawater supply. At the same time, the pressure reducing device switch is turned on. After the desalinated seawater enters the hydrogen production module, it will react with the activated metal therein to generate hydrogen. After drying, the hydrogen is passed into the fuel cell in the power generation module to react with oxygen to generate electricity.

[0007] The seawater desalination module includes a filter, a reverse osmosis device, and a purification device, which are installed in the order of filtration, reverse osmosis, and purification to desalinate seawater.

[0008] The hydrogen production module includes a reactor, an aluminum-based alloy material and a drying device. The aluminum-based alloy material is placed in the reactor and can react with desalinated seawater to generate hydrogen. The drying device is connected to the hydrogen outlet of the reactor and can dry out moisture in the hydrogen generated by the reaction.

[0009] The power generation module includes a fuel cell, an air / oxygen tank, a pressure reducing device and an inverter. The hydrogen generated by the reactor and the oxygen stored in the air / oxygen tank are passed through the pressure reducing device and then introduced into the hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell to generate electricity. The generated direct current is converted into alternating current by the inverter for use by external loads.

[0010] The control module includes a control device, two solenoid valves, and a liquid level sensor. The control device, which contains a lithium battery, rapidly opens water inlet valves 1 and 2 upon receiving a start signal, connecting the system's water inlet pipelines. When the purified seawater level in the reactor reaches the level sensor, the control device immediately closes water inlet valve 2 to prevent hydrogen from escaping. It then closes water inlet valve 1 to cut off the seawater supply and simultaneously opens the pressure reducing device, allowing hydrogen and oxygen to flow into the fuel cell at the set flow rate.

[0011] The wave energy triggering device module adopts a special shape and mechanical device in the wave energy capture device to convert wave energy into mechanical energy. In the energy storage device, a battery pack, a supercapacitor or other suitable energy storage device is used to store the electrical energy converted from wave energy. The control system monitors the state of the waves, the energy conversion process and the electrical energy storage of the energy storage device. The power output interface is connected to the energy storage device to supply the stored electrical energy to electrical equipment or emergency lighting and other equipment. A method for an emergency energy triggering device using recyclable wave energy includes capturing wave energy, converting it into mechanical energy, converting it into electrical energy and storing it, monitoring the state of the waves and the energy conversion process, and supplying the stored electrical energy to equipment requiring electricity through the power output interface in an emergency.

[0012] As a further solution of the present invention, the internal devices of the system are pre-evacuated to prevent the presence of gas impurities, while providing a pressure difference to facilitate the rapid passage of seawater through the desalination module.

[0013] As a further solution of the present invention, the reverse osmosis device contains a reverse osmosis membrane assembly, which can initially desalinate seawater, and the purification device can further change the acidity and alkalinity of the seawater.

[0014] Compared with the existing invention, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0015] 1) This utility model, through its innovative design, provides an emergency energy trigger device that recycles wave energy. This device efficiently captures wave energy and converts it into usable electricity. In emergencies, it can trigger an underwater emergency power supply, providing a reliable power supply and resolving power shortages. Furthermore, the device's recyclable design has positive implications for sustainable development. It is suitable for a variety of aquatic environments and has broad adaptability and potential applications.

[0016] 2) This utility model generates electricity through chemical reactions. Unlike batteries, it can be stored for a long time without consuming energy, and it has high energy efficiency.

[0017] 3) Before activation with water, aluminum-based alloy materials are chemically inert, pose no explosion risk, and have an extremely long shelf life. Once the system is activated with water, their safety characteristics are similar to those of household alkali, allowing for easy and safe transportation.

[0018] 4) This utility model uses alloy to prepare hydrogen for power generation. Compared with hydrogen tanks, the equipment is small in size, light in weight, and reliable in operation. In addition, the hydrogen production of the same quality alloy far exceeds that of hydrogen tanks, and the power generation time is longer.

[0026] The operation process of the trigger-type preset emergency power supply device for recovering wave energy described in the present invention is as follows: the wave energy capturer 501 normally collects wave energy, converts the collected wave energy into mechanical energy in the wave energy conversion device 502, and then converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy, and stores electricity in the energy storage device 503. When emergency energy is needed, it is connected to the trigger-type power supply system 505 through the power transmission and power supply device 504, and then the control module is powered on. After receiving the start signal, the controller 401 opens the water inlet valve 1 and the water inlet valve 2 in sequence; the seawater is automatically filtered through the filter device 101 under the action of pressure to filter out impurities in the seawater, and the filtered seawater then enters the reverse osmosis system. The hydrogen enters the reactor 201 and reacts with the aluminum-based alloy material 202 therein to generate hydrogen. When the liquid level in the reactor 201 reaches the liquid level sensor 404, the controller 401 automatically closes the water inlet valve 403, then closes the water inlet valve 402, and simultaneously opens the switch of the pressure reducing device 303, so that the reactor 201 and the oxygen tank 302 are connected to the fuel cell 301, and the hydrogen passes through the drying device 203 to remove excess moisture. After the hydrogen in the reactor 201 and the air / oxygen in the air / oxygen tank 302 are passed into the fuel cell 301, the system generates electrical energy, which is converted into alternating current after passing through the inverter 304 and transmitted to the external load.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention takes into account the pressure difference problem existing on the seabed and needs to ensure that the internal pressure bearing capacity of the system meets the requirements of the deep-water environment.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the internal devices of the system need to be pre-evacuated to prevent the presence of gas impurities and to provide a pressure difference to facilitate the rapid passage of seawater through the desalination module.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the seawater pipeline begins at the filtration device 101, passes through the reverse osmosis device 102 and the purification device 103 for desalination, and finally enters the reactor 201 to react with the aluminum-based alloy material 202. The hydrogen pipeline begins at the reactor 201, first passes through the drying device 203 to remove excess water from the hydrogen, then the pressure reducing device 303 controls the inlet flow rate to a set value, and finally enters the fuel cell 301 to generate electricity.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the reverse osmosis device contains a reverse osmosis membrane assembly, which can initially desalinate seawater, and the purification device can further change the acidity and alkalinity of the seawater.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the drying device 203 may be made of silica gel and filter cotton, which can effectively absorb moisture in the output gas and ensure the dryness of the output gas.

[0032] The entire operation process of this system is automatically controlled by a predetermined program, including electromagnetic valve control and pressure reducing device control.

[0033] The present invention discloses a triggerable, pre-installed emergency power supply device that recycles wave energy. The device collects wave energy and triggers the device module, efficiently utilizing wave energy and converting it into usable electricity. This provides a reliable emergency energy supply, addressing power shortages. The recyclable design supports sustainable development and is suitable for various water environments. The underwater emergency energy device has broad adaptability and application potential. The device uses alloys to produce hydrogen for power generation. Compared to hydrogen tanks, the device is compact, lightweight, and reliable. The same alloy mass produces far more hydrogen than a hydrogen tank, resulting in a longer power generation time. Furthermore, before the system is activated, the aluminum-based alloy material is chemically inert, poses no explosion risk, and has an extremely long shelf life. Once the system is activated with water, its safety characteristics are similar to those of household alkali, making it convenient and safe to transport. Unlike batteries, it can be stored for long periods without consuming energy, while also offering high energy efficiency. The present underwater emergency power generation system, suitable for seawater, can rapidly output electricity upon activation, boasts high energy density, allows for immediate use of hydrogen, and can be stored for long periods, making it suitable for maintaining power for critical loads in marine emergencies and addressing the problem of power shortages in underwater emergencies.

It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention. These should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention. These will not affect the effect of the implementation of the present invention and the practicality of the patent.
