[0010] The driving component, the output end of which can contact the second locking component;
[0011] When the power generation plate needs to be locked, the power generation plate swings downward around the first hinge seat so that the first locking member and the second locking member are engaged and fixed.
[0012] When the power generation panel needs to be unlocked, the output end of the drive unit moves forward to contact the second locking member, thereby pushing the second locking member to move, and thus causing the second locking member to separate from the first locking member.

[0014] When the power generation plate needs to be locked, the power generation plate swings downward around the first hinge seat so that the first protrusion hits the hook handle, thereby pushing the hook to flip and engage with the hook groove;
[0015] When the power generation panel needs to be unlocked, the output end of the drive unit moves forward to contact the hook handle, thereby pushing the hook to flip and separate from the hook groove.
[0016] As described above, the wave energy generator locking device further includes a second protrusion with serrations, and a pawl with one end of the pawl being movably hinged via a second hinge seat, wherein the pawl engages with the serrations.
[0017] When the power generation plate needs to be locked, the power generation plate swings downward around the first hinge seat so that the second protrusion contacts the pawl, thereby achieving unidirectional movement through the engagement of the pawl and the saw teeth;

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.
[0040] Example:
[0041] 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.
[0042] 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.
[0043] 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.
[0044] 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.
[0045] This utility model provides a wave energy generator locking device, which includes a generator plate 1, a first locking member, a second locking member, and a driving member 2. One end of the generator plate 1 is movably hinged through a first hinge seat 13. The first locking member is installed on the wing plate of the generator plate 1. The second locking member is disposed on the swing path of the generator plate 1 and is used to cooperate with the first locking member to lock the generator plate 1. The output end of the driving member 2 can contact the second locking member. When the generator plate 1 needs to be locked, the generator plate 1 swings downward around the first hinge seat 13 so that the first locking member and the second locking member are locked together. When the generator plate 1 needs to be unlocked, the output end of the driving member 2 moves forward to contact the second locking member, thereby pushing the second locking member to move, and thus separating the second locking member from the first locking member.
[0046] Specifically, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This locking device, through the cooperation of the first and second locking components, can lock the generator plate 1 when it moves downwards. Furthermore, the generator plate 1 can only be unlocked by the cooperation of the driving component 2, allowing it to move upwards. Therefore, this locking device has good locking reliability. In deep-sea environments, when the generator plate 1 is not needed, such as in severe weather or sudden changes in ocean currents, it can effectively protect the generator plate 1 from damage. The cooperation between the first and second locking components may include, but is not limited to, the cooperation of a hook and a groove, or the cooperation of a pawl and serrations. The driving component 2 may include, but is not limited to, a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, etc.
[0047] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, the first locking member includes a hook groove 3 and a first protrusion 4, and the second locking member includes a locking hook 5, which has a hook portion 6 and a hook handle 7. The middle part of the locking hook 5 is movably hinged by a second hinge seat 8, and the hook portion 6 is adapted to the hook groove 3. When the generator plate 1 needs to be locked, the generator plate 1 swings downward around the first hinge seat 13 so that the first protrusion 4 hits the hook handle 7, thereby pushing the hook portion 6 to flip and engage with the hook groove 3. When the generator plate 1 needs to be unlocked, the output end of the drive member 2 moves forward to contact the hook handle 7, thereby pushing the hook portion 6 to flip and separate from the hook groove 3.
[0048] Specifically, see Figures 3 to 5 When the generator plate 1 needs to be locked, its downward movement causes the hook groove 3 and the first protrusion 4 to move towards the locking hook 5, thereby causing the first protrusion 4 to collide with the hook handle 7. Since the locking hook 5 is hinged through the second hinge seat 8, after the hook handle 7 is struck, the hook part 6 will flip and then lock into the groove 3, firmly locking the generator plate 1. When the generator plate 1 needs to be unlocked, the output end of the drive member 2 extends towards the hook handle 7 and contacts the hook handle 7, thereby pushing the locking hook 5 to flip, thereby causing the hook part 6 to separate from the hook groove 3, unlocking the generator plate 1, and allowing the generator plate 1 to move upward.
[0049] In the above embodiment, the weight of the hook 6 is greater than the weight of the handle 7. When the first protrusion 4 impacts and pushes the hook handle 7, it only needs to push the hook handle 7 past the center line of the second hinge seat 8 to allow the weight of the hook 6 to smoothly engage with the hook groove 3. Furthermore, due to the greater weight of the hook 6, there will be no automatic flipping or disengagement of the hook groove 3 after engagement. Therefore, the design of this locking hook 5 simultaneously improves both the convenience and stability of engagement.
[0050] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, the first locking member includes a second protrusion 9 with serrations 10, and the second locking member includes a pawl 11, one end of which is movably hinged via a second hinge seat 8, and the pawl 11 engages with the serrations 10; wherein, when the generator plate 1 needs to be locked, the generator plate 1 swings downward around the first hinge seat 13 so that the second protrusion 9 contacts the pawl 11, thereby achieving unidirectional movement through the engagement of the pawl 11 and the serrations 10; when the generator plate 1 needs to be unlocked, the output end of the drive member 2 moves forward to contact the pawl 11, thereby pushing the pawl 11 to swing and separate from the second protrusion 9.
[0051] Specifically, see Figures 6 to 8 When the generator plate 1 needs to be locked, its downward movement causes the second protrusion 9 to move towards the pawl 11. Since the pawl 11 is hinged by the second hinge seat 8, when the second protrusion 9 contacts the pawl 11, the serrations 10 on its surface engage with the pawl 11, gradually slowing down until it stops. During this process, the generator plate 1 cannot move upwards because the pawl 11 abuts against the serrations 10, preventing it from moving in the opposite direction (i.e., unidirectional movement), thus achieving the locking effect. When the generator plate 1 needs to be unlocked, the output end of the drive unit 2 extends towards the pawl 11 and contacts it, pushing the pawl 11 away from the serrations 10, unlocking the generator plate 1, allowing it to move upwards.
[0052] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, a base 12 is also included, on which the second locking member is mounted. This enhances the connection rigidity between the base 12 and the second locking member, making the entire locking device more stable.
[0053] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, the drive component 2 is a pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder. The deep-sea environment is extremely high-pressure, and pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders, due to their design features, can withstand high pressures without easily being damaged. On the one hand, pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders can output large forces and torques, meeting the driving requirements of heavy equipment in deep-sea operations. On the other hand, both pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders have good sealing performance, effectively preventing seawater infiltration and protecting the internal mechanical structure from corrosion.
[0054] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, the locking hook 5 is made of stainless steel or ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber. Stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance and strength, and can remain stable in deep-sea environments for a long time, while ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber is known for its excellent high strength and high modulus properties. Its wear resistance can be further improved through modification technology. The specific choice can be made according to the actual situation.
[0055] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, the pawl 11 is made of alloy tool steel. Specifically, to cope with the high pressure, corrosion, and complex working conditions in the deep-sea environment, the pawl 11 typically uses high-strength, high-hardness, and corrosion-resistant Cr12MoV steel (Chinese name: chromium-12 molybdenum-vanadium steel), a high-performance alloy tool steel. This steel material can meet the requirements of the pawl 11 for long-term stable operation in the deep-sea environment.
[0056] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, the first protrusion 4 is made of titanium alloy. Titanium alloy has good corrosion resistance and can remain stable for a long time in corrosive environments such as seawater. At the same time, titanium alloy also has extremely high strength, capable of withstanding the enormous pressure and impact forces in deep-sea environments.
[0057] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, the second protrusion 9 is made of titanium alloy. Titanium alloy has good corrosion resistance and can remain stable for a long time in corrosive environments such as seawater. At the same time, titanium alloy also has extremely high strength, capable of withstanding the enormous pressure and impact forces in deep-sea environments.

Moreover, without contradiction, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples described in this specification, as well as the features of different embodiments or examples.
