[0002] Over the past 20 years, marine aquaculture has flourished and is gradually becoming more professional and intelligent. Coastal countries have built offshore platforms in the bays that can carry out deep-sea operations. These offshore platforms are basically equipped with wave energy power generation devices to make full use of marine resources.

[0003] However, most current wave energy generators are driven by hydraulic cylinders, and the wave energy generators are directly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinders. This results in a relatively long output end of the hydraulic cylinders, which can cause many disadvantages in the deep sea. For example, the excessive length can lead to poor stability, making them susceptible to damage from seawater impacts, and they are also easily corroded by marine organisms. Utility Model Content

Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0026] Example:

[0027] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this utility model are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. 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.

[0028] 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.

[0029] 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.

[0030] 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.

[0031] This utility model provides a wave energy generator plate guide protection device, which includes a generator plate 1 and a driving component 2. The driving component 2 drives the generator plate 1 to move through a conductive protection component 3. The guide protection component 3 includes a protective shell 4 and a connecting block 5. The connecting block 5 is slidably disposed inside the protective shell 4 and can slide back and forth along the length direction of the protective shell 4. One end of the connecting block 5 is fixedly connected to the output end of the driving component 2, and the other end of the connecting block 5 is fixedly connected to the generator plate 1 through a connecting rod 9.

[0032] Specifically, see Figure 1 Compared to the traditional direct connection between the generator plate and the output end of the hydraulic cylinder, this guiding protection device significantly shortens the output end of the hydraulic cylinder, which would otherwise require a long length, by adding a connecting block 5 and a connecting rod 9, thus avoiding instability caused by excessive length. Simultaneously, the connecting block 5 slides within the protective shell 4, preventing marine organisms from directly adhering to the output end of the drive component 2 or the connecting rod 9 and causing corrosion. Therefore, this guiding protection device improves overall stability and extends the service life of the drive component 2. The number of connecting blocks 5 and connecting rods 9 can be adjusted according to actual needs to minimize the length of the drive component 2. The drive component 2 can include, but is not limited to, hydraulic cylinders, pneumatic cylinders, etc.

[0033] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, the protective shell 4 is provided with a guide rail 6, the connecting block 5 is provided with a pulley 7, the pulley 7 is slidably disposed on the guide rail 6, the protective shell 4 has openings at both ends, the output end of the driving member 2 passes through one opening and is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting block 5, one end of the connecting rod 9 passes through another opening and is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting block 5, and the other end of the connecting rod 9 is fixedly connected to the generator plate 1.

[0034] Specifically, see Figure 2 This guiding and protective assembly has a guide rail 6 along the length of the protective shell 4, and a sliding pulley 7 is installed on the guide rail 6. The two ends of the connecting block 5 inside the protective shell 4 are respectively connected to the output end of the drive component 2 and the connecting rod 9 connecting the power generation plate 1. Thus, when the output end of the drive component 2 retracts, it drives the connecting block 5 to reciprocate within the protective shell 4, thereby driving the connecting rod 9 to retract. Therefore, this guiding and protective assembly achieves linear transmission of force and displacement through the double-end coupling of the connecting block 5. Furthermore, the connecting block 5 can quickly respond to the retraction and extension of the drive component 2, reducing energy transfer delay. The overall structure is simple while also improving efficiency.

[0035] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, a buffer 10 is further included. The piston rod end of the buffer 10 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive member 2, and the fixed end of the buffer 10 is used to connect to a fixed object. The buffer 10 can effectively absorb the impact energy generated during the operation of the drive member 2 at its output end, ensuring the stable operation of the drive member 2.

[0036] In the above embodiments, the buffer 10 is further described as a spring buffer. The spring buffer exhibits transient response characteristics, with almost no time lag in its spring stiffness characteristics, enabling it to respond instantaneously to sudden impacts. Simultaneously, it also boasts high energy recovery efficiency, with energy conversion loss ideally less than 5%.

[0037] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, a base 11 is also included, and the protective shell 4 is disposed on the base 11. The protective shell 4 is typically located near the waterline and is subjected to long-term impact from ocean waves. The protective shell 4 is fixedly mounted on the base 11, which provides rigid support. When the protective shell 4 is impacted by ocean waves, the base 11 can disperse the impact force to a certain extent, thereby preventing localized stress concentration and deformation of the protective shell 4.

[0038] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, the surface of the protective shell 4 is coated with a superhydrophobic nano-coating. Since the high salinity of seawater accelerates the corrosion of metal equipment, the superhydrophobic nano-coating can reduce the contact area between seawater and the surface of the protective shell 4, forming an air barrier layer and reducing the corrosion rate. Simultaneously, many marine organisms can attach to the protective shell 4; the superhydrophobic nano-coating, with its low surface energy, can prevent organisms from adhering to the surface, thereby further extending the service life of the protective shell 4.

[0039] In the above embodiments, the base 11 is further made of titanium alloy or stainless steel. Both titanium alloy and stainless steel have good resistance to seawater corrosion. Furthermore, the surface oxide film of titanium alloy is hydrophobic, which reduces the adhesion of marine organisms, while stainless steel can prevent marine organism adhesion through a protective coating. In terms of cost, if the equipment needs to be submerged in deep sea (greater than 5000 meters), titanium alloy is preferred; if the equipment is only 1000-2000 meters below the waterline, stainless steel is chosen.

[0040] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, the drive component 2 is a hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic cylinder's hydraulic transmission system has low inertia and high torque, enabling rapid response to changes in wave force. Simultaneously, it overcomes the shortcomings of short-cycle and unstable wave energy, converting unstable wave energy into continuous and stable hydraulic energy output, which is beneficial for improving power supply stability.

[0041] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, the protective shell 4 and the connecting rod 9 are made of titanium alloy or stainless steel. The advantages of using titanium alloy or stainless steel for the protective shell 4 and the connecting rod 9 can be found in the above embodiments and will not be repeated here.
