[0023] Please see Figures 1-5 A novel breakwater combining photovoltaic and wave energy includes a floating breakwater 1. The floating breakwater 1 is characterized by having a hydraulic power generation device on one side. The hydraulic power generation device includes an oscillating float 302, a transmission rod 303, and an oil pipe 307. Waves cause the transmission rod 303 to move like a piston inside the oil pipe 307 through the oscillating float 302, converting kinetic energy into electrical energy.
[0024] In this system, a hydraulic power generation device is installed on one side of the floating breakwater 1. The oscillating float 302, transmission rod 303, and oil pipe 307 in the hydraulic power generation device work together to convert the kinetic energy generated by the waves into electrical energy, thereby realizing the function of hydraulic power generation and wave elimination.
[0025] Preferably, the floating dike 1 is inclined on both sides, and multiple through-pipe supports 102 are fixedly connected inside the floating dike 1. Multiple floating pipes 101 are installed through the inside of the through-pipe supports 102.
[0026] The floating breakwater 1, which is inclined on both sides, can reduce the impact of waves. The floating pipes 101 and the pipe support 102 are made of HDPE material, which has strong corrosion resistance, avoids corrosion by seawater, and can eliminate the impact of waves on the marine ranch.
[0027] Preferably, multiple protective plates 5 are fixedly connected to the bottom side of the floating dike 1, and the protective plates 5 are fixedly connected to multiple floating pipes 101. Connecting plates 2 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the bottom of the floating dike 1, and a fixing chain 201 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the connecting plates 2.
[0028] The protective plate 5 enhances the connection strength between the floating pipe 101 and the floating breakwater 1, and supports the floating pipe 101 as a whole, preventing the multiple floating pipes 101 from easily becoming scattered under the impact of waves. The floating breakwater 1 is also equipped with a fixing chain 201 through the connecting plate 2. The fixing chain 201 can be connected to the sea pile on the seabed, which can fix the floating breakwater 1 in the floating position on the sea surface and prevent the floating breakwater 1 from being blown away by the waves.
[0029] Preferably, a plurality of mounting frames 3 are installed on one side of the floating dike 1. Each mounting frame 3 has a floating plate 301 hinged inside. An oscillating floating plate 302 is fixedly connected to one side of the floating plate 301. A generator box 304 is installed above the mounting frame 3. The outside of the generator box 304 is hinged to the oil pipe 307. A movable plug 308 is slidably connected inside the oil pipe 307. A transmission rod 303 is fixedly connected to one end of the movable plug 308. The transmission rod 303 passes through the oil pipe 307 and is hinged to the oscillating floating plate 302. A hydraulic motor 312 is installed inside the generator box 304. The hydraulic motor 312 is connected to a generator 311 through a coupling at its output end. A flexible pipe 306 is installed through the input end of the hydraulic motor 312. Both ends of the flexible pipe 306 are connected to the oil pipe 307. A one-way valve 309 is installed at the connection between the flexible pipe 306 and the oil pipe 307. An accumulator 310 is installed on the flexible pipe 306.
[0030] When the oscillating float 302 encounters waves, it will move up and down inside the mounting frame 3 via the float plate 301. When the oscillating float 302 moves up and down, it will drive the transmission rod 303 to move like a piston inside the oil pipe 307. That is, the transmission rod 303 drives the movable plug 308 to move back and forth inside the oil pipe 307.
[0031] like Figure 5 As shown, when the movable plug 308 moves downward, it pushes the hydraulic oil inside the oil pipe 307 to move into the flexible pipe 306 on the left. The hydraulic oil in the flexible pipe 306 passes through the accumulator 310 and the hydraulic motor 312, and then flows back into the oil pipe 307 through the flexible pipe 306 on the right. When the hydraulic oil passes through the hydraulic motor 312, it drives the output end of the hydraulic motor 312 to rotate. The output end of the hydraulic motor 312 then drives the generator 311 to rotate through the coupling, completing the power generation step of the generator 311. When the movable plug 308 moves upward, it provides suction, causing the hydraulic oil inside the flexible pipe 306 on the right to flow back into the oil pipe 307, so that the hydraulic oil circulates in the flexible pipe 306.
[0032] The hydraulic power generation device also includes a check valve on the left flexible pipe 306 that allows hydraulic oil to be discharged from the oil pipe 307, and a check valve on the right flexible pipe 306 that allows hydraulic oil to be entered into the oil pipe 307.
[0033] Furthermore, the accumulator 310 can store the hydraulic energy generated by the hydraulic oil. When the waves are calm, that is, when the movable plug 308 moves slowly or has a short stroke inside the oil pipe 307, resulting in insufficient pressure inside the flexible pipe 306, the accumulator 310 can release the hydraulic energy to ensure sufficient pressure inside the flexible pipe 306, so that the hydraulic motor 312 and the generator 311 can still work normally when the waves are small.
[0034] Preferably, multiple flexible photovoltaic panels 305 are installed on the other side of the floating dike 1, and the flexible photovoltaic panels 305 are connected to batteries.
[0035] Among them, the flexible photovoltaic panel 305 can convert solar energy into electrical energy and store it through batteries, and can also provide power for marine ranches.
[0036] Preferably, a fence 4 is provided on the outside of the multiple floating boards 301, and the fence 4 is fixedly connected to the floating dike 1.
[0037] The fence 4 is an inflatable fence that can float on the sea surface. The entire fence 4 protects and blocks multiple floating boards 301 and oscillating floating boards 302, preventing floating garbage from contacting the floating boards 301 and oscillating floating boards 302.
[0038] Working principle: During use, the floating breakwater 1 surrounds the marine ranch area, protecting the ranch from waves. When the floating breakwater 1 encounters waves, the oscillating float 302 moves up and down inside the mounting frame 3 via the float plate 301. This up-and-down movement of the oscillating float 302 drives the transmission rod 303 to move like a piston inside the oil pipe 307. That is, the transmission rod 303 drives the movable plug 308 to move back and forth inside the oil pipe 307. The movable plug 308 pushes the hydraulic oil inside the oil pipe 307 to the left flexible pipe 30. 6. Internal movement: Hydraulic oil in the flexible pipe 306 on the left will pass through the accumulator 310 and the hydraulic motor 312, and then flow back into the oil pipe 307 through the flexible pipe 306 on the right. When the hydraulic oil passes through the hydraulic motor 312, it will drive the output end of the hydraulic motor 312 to rotate. The output end of the hydraulic motor 312 will drive the generator 311 to rotate through the coupling, thus completing the power generation step of the generator 311. The flexible photovoltaic panel 305 can convert solar energy into electrical energy and store it through the battery, and can also provide power for the marine ranch.
