[0030] Example:

It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this utility model described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the embodiments of this utility model are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or device that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or devices.

[0032] It should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," "counterclockwise," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0033] In the description of this utility model, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified. Furthermore, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "connected," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0034] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can mean that the first feature is in direct contact with the second feature, or that the first feature is in indirect contact with the second feature through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0035] This utility model provides a wave energy generator protection device, which includes a generator plate 1, a shell 2, and a guide rod 3. The generator plate 1 has a preset motion trajectory. The shell 2 has openings 5 ​​at both ends and a sealing element 4 at one end for sealing. The shell 2 is installed on the generator plate 1. One end of the guide rod 3 is installed inside the shell 2 through a connecting plate 11, and the other end of the guide rod 3 extends out of the opening 5 and passes through the generator plate 1. When several generator plates 1 move along the motion trajectory, the guide rod 3 of the previous generator plate 1 breaks through the sealing element 4 of the next generator plate 1.

[0036] Specifically, wave energy panels operate at the waterline. Due to the abrupt changes in the deep-sea environment, severe weather is frequently encountered. Traditional wave energy panels are easily damaged by the continuous impact of violent waves. However, each wave energy panel 1 of this invention is equipped with a protective device, which includes a casing 2 and a guide rod 3 installed inside the casing 2. In severe weather, each wave energy panel 1 simply moves according to a pre-set trajectory, causing adjacent panels 1 to collide. Specifically, the guide rod 3 of the previous panel 1 impacts and punctures the seal of the next panel 1, allowing seawater to enter. This causes the relatively expensive panel 1 to sink below the waterline for protection, preventing continuous wave impact at the waterline. After the storm, only the relatively inexpensive seal 4 needs to be replaced.

[0037] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, the seal 4 includes a glass sheet 6 and flange plates 7, with the glass sheet 6 positioned between the two flange plates 7 and the two flange plates 7 fixedly connected by bolts 8 and nuts 9. The glass sheet 6, as the core component of the seal 4, is tightly clamped between the two flange plates 7, forming an effective barrier that prevents seawater from entering. Furthermore, this sealing structure can withstand high pressure and temperature, making it suitable for deep-sea environments and ensuring the reliability and stability of the seal. In addition, the fixed connection of the two flange plates 7 by bolts 8 and nuts 9 provides stable support for the glass sheet 6, preventing displacement or breakage due to external forces. This connection method also facilitates installation and disassembly.

[0038] In the above embodiment, a first washer 10 is further provided on the side where the two flange plates 7 are connected to the glass sheet 6. The first washer 10 can increase the friction between the flange plate 7 and the glass sheet 6, prevent them from sliding relative to each other under force, and thus improve the stability of the connection.

[0039] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, a second washer 12 is provided on the side of the connecting plate 11 that connects to the tube shell 2. The second washer 12 increases the friction between the connecting plate 11 and the tube shell 2, preventing relative sliding under stress and thus improving the stability of the connection.

[0040] As an optional implementation, some embodiments further include an upper impact assembly, which includes a fixed plate 14 and an impact post 15. The fixed plate 14 is fixedly connected to the existing structure and close to the uppermost power generation plate 1, and the impact post 15 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 14. In the event of sudden large waves, the uppermost power generation plate 1 is controlled to move along a preset trajectory. At this time, the impact post 15 of the upper impact assembly can break the seal 4 of the uppermost power generation plate 1, allowing seawater to enter the power generation plate 1 and causing it to sink. Furthermore, "existing structure" refers to various buildings that have been constructed and put into use; in this case, it refers to an offshore platform.

[0041] As an optional implementation, some embodiments further include a lower impact assembly, which includes a fixed tube 16 and a seal 4. The fixed tube 16 is fixedly connected to the existing building and is located near the lowest power generation plate 1. The seal 4 is disposed at the upper opening of the fixed tube 16. Similarly, the guide rod 3 of the lowest power generation plate 1 can break the seal 4 of the lower impact assembly, allowing seawater to enter the existing building so that it sinks.

[0042] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, a supporting diagonal rod 13 is further included, one end of which is fixedly connected to the rod body of the guide impact rod 3. The supporting diagonal rod 13, through its oblique supporting function, can effectively prevent lateral displacement of the guide impact rod 3 under stress, ensuring that the guide impact rod 3 moves in a predetermined direction. Simultaneously, the connection between the supporting diagonal rod 13 and the guide impact rod 3 increases the overall rigidity of the structure, making the structure less prone to deformation under external forces.

[0043] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, a gasket (not shown) is also included, which is disposed between the flange plate 7 and the bolt 8, and between the flange plate 7 and the nut 9. The gasket provides sufficient friction to prevent the flange plate 7 from loosening due to vibration or other reasons, thereby improving the stability of the connection.

[0044] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, the connecting plate 11 is made of titanium alloy plate, stainless steel plate, or composite material plate. Among them, titanium alloy plate has the characteristics of high pressure resistance (>7000 meters water depth), seawater corrosion resistance, and outstanding resistance to hydrogen embrittlement; stainless steel plate has good corrosion resistance and mechanical properties, and can maintain good stability in deep-sea environment; composite material plate, such as fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) plate, has the advantages of being lightweight, high-strength, and corrosion-resistant.

[0045] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, the glass sheet 6 is made of tempered glass. Tempered glass is significantly stronger than ordinary glass, with an impact resistance 5 to 10 times greater and a bending strength 3 to 5 times greater. This high strength allows tempered glass to withstand greater water pressure and external impacts in deep-sea environments, ensuring the stability and safety of the seal. Simultaneously, tempered glass possesses excellent corrosion resistance, exhibiting good resistance to salt, acids, alkalis, and other chemicals in seawater. This allows tempered glass to maintain a longer service life in deep-sea environments, reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement.
