[0031] The high-position water pool 3 is provided with a water outlet pipe 14 which is directed to the impeller 4.

[0032] Through the above design scheme, the water in the high-position water pool 3 flows to the impeller 4 through the water outlet pipe 14, and the water flow losing power after impacting the impeller 4 is first gathered in the water collecting cover 6 and then flows into the buffer water pool 1 under the action of gravity through the secondary generator 7; the secondary generator 7 can also generate electricity by means of the water flow, although the water flow loses most of the kinetic energy after impacting the impeller 4, but the water flow is still in a flowing state, and the flowing water flow can drive the secondary generator 7 to generate electricity, even if the current generated by the secondary generator 7 is weak, but it can also power the water pump 9. The water hammer pump 8 will have part of the tail water flow into the low-position water pool 2 while pumping the water flow, and the water flow flowing into the low-position water pool 2 is pumped to the high-position water pool 3 by the water pump 9, so as to ensure that the water outlet quantity of the high-position water pool 3 is flat with the water inlet quantity; the water pump 9 and the water hammer pump 8 can independently supply water to the high-position water pool 3, whether the water hammer pump 8 or the water pump 9 fails, the remaining equipment can independently supply water to the high-position water pool 3, even if the water supply quantity cannot meet the demand quantity of the high-position water pool 3, the remaining water supply device can continue to supplement the water flow for the high-position water pool 3, prolong the working time of the high-position water pool 3, avoid the shutdown of the water circulation system during maintenance, and cannot impact the impeller 4 to make the primary generator 5 generate electricity.

[0033] The water collecting cover 6 outside the impeller 4 can collect the water flow splashing after impacting the impeller 4, so as to avoid that the water flow splashing causes the water flow in the water circulation system to rapidly reduce.

[0034] In the embodiment, the water supply system comprises a water supply pipe 11 independently connected with the high-position water pool 3, and the water supplement system comprises a water supplement pipe 10 independently connected with the high-position water pool 3, and the water supplement pipe 10 is provided with a one-way valve 15.

The working efficiency of the water hammer pump 8 causes the water supply amount to be limited, and it is impossible to pump all the water flow delivered from the buffer storage tank 1 into the high-level tank 3, while the water pump 9 can deliver the tail water of the water hammer pump 8 into the high-level tank 3, so as to ensure that the water inflow and the water outflow of the high-level tank 3 are balanced.

[0043] Compared with the prior art, the water hammer pump 8 and the water supply pump 9 can independently provide continuous water flow for the high-level water pool 3, even if any one of the water hammer pump 8 or the water pump 9 fails, the remaining water supply equipment can continue to supply water for the high-level water pool 3, ensure that the impeller 4 can continue to rotate, facilitate continuous power generation operation; at the same time, since the pipeline layout is reduced, the energy consumption of the water flow in the pipeline will also be reduced, thereby the water flow efficiency in the water circulation device is higher.

[0044] In the case of no conflict, the above-mentioned embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the utility model, and are not limited to the protection scope of the utility model.
