Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power generation equipment technology, and in particular to a semi-submersible floating wind turbine that integrates wave energy power generation device. Background Technology

[0002] Wave energy generation devices are equipment that convert the kinetic and potential energy of ocean waves into electrical energy. The core principle is to use wave motion to drive mechanical transmission, which concentrates the dispersed low-density wave energy into mechanical energy, and then converts it into electrical energy through a generator. Its application value is significant. Wave energy is one of the cleanest renewable energy sources with huge reserves. Its development and utilization can greatly alleviate the crisis of fossil energy depletion and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Secondly, the device is highly adaptable. It can be fixed on the coast or near-shore platforms, or it can float in the deep sea. It is especially suitable for powering maritime buoys, fishing ports, isolated islands and marine monitoring equipment. Floating devices have been successfully used to power marine facilities. Furthermore, wave energy generation is not affected by weather and has a unique advantage in terms of stable power supply.

[0003] The technological advantages of integrating semi-submersible platforms with wave energy are significant. Wave energy and wind energy resources have highly overlapping distributions, and there is a time difference between wave energy generation time and wind power peak. The synergy between the two can smooth the output curve and reduce dependence on energy storage equipment. In current practical use, if the semi-submersible floating wind turbine integrating wave energy generation device cannot adapt to the height changes of seawater at different times, its operational stability and power generation efficiency will be significantly affected. Seawater height fluctuates periodically with the tides. If the device cannot adapt to tidal changes, the wave power generation structure will be above the sea surface and unable to draft when the seawater is too low, thus causing the wave energy generation structure to fail to operate. When the seawater height is too high, the device will be subjected to excessive water pressure and water flow impact due to excessive draft. Utility Model Content

However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0028] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] Reference Figures 1-6 This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a semi-submersible floating wind turbine with an integrated wave energy power generation device, including a floating platform 1. A central pipe 2 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the floating platform 1. A first power generation component 3 is provided on the outer side of the central pipe 2. A second power generation component 4 is provided on the outer side of the floating platform 1. An installation rod 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the floating platform 1. A floating raft 6 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the installation rod 5. The inner wall of the central pipe 2 is provided with a water inlet / outlet 7 and an air inlet / outlet 8. An adaptive component 9 is provided at the bottom of the floating platform 1.

[0031] The floating platform 1 serves as the main load-bearing structure of the semi-submersible floating wind turbine of the entire integrated wave energy power generation device. It provides the installation foundation and support for other components, enabling the entire device to float stably in the marine environment and ensuring the coordinated operation of all components. The central pipe 2 is connected to the outside seawater through the inlet / outlet 7 and to the outside air through the air inlet / outlet 8. Waves push seawater into the central pipe 2 through the inlet / outlet 7, compressing the internal air and expelling it through the air inlet / outlet 8, forming an airflow. When the waves recede, seawater flows out of the central pipe 2, creating negative pressure, which allows outside air to enter the central pipe 2 through the air inlet / outlet 8. This cycle forms a continuous airflow. The first power generation component 3 converts the kinetic energy of the airflow compressed by the seawater in the central pipe 2 into mechanical energy. The second power generation component 4 converts the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical energy. The mounting rod 5 provides an installation position for the floating raft 6 and the fixed frame 21, serving as a connection and support. The floating raft 6 provides the entire device with... The buoyancy of the inlet / outlet 6 is designed to adapt to different sea surface heights, ensuring that the inlet / outlet 7 is always below sea level. This allows seawater in the central tube 2 to continuously flow in and out using the kinetic energy of ocean waves, thus ensuring the continuous operation of the first power generation component 3. It should be noted that the outer shell of the floating raft 6 is made of fiberglass reinforced plastic for corrosion resistance and lightweight, the core material is foam or polyurethane foam for high buoyancy, and the protective layer is a polyurea coating or epoxy resin to enhance impact resistance and wear resistance. The inlet / outlet 7, in conjunction with the air inlet / outlet 8, provides a channel for the entry and exit of seawater and air. This allows the air in the central tube 2 to be compressed by the kinetic energy of seawater, or the air outside the central tube 2 to be drawn into the central tube 2 by negative pressure when seawater flows out, thereby achieving stable operation of the first power generation component 3. The adaptive component 9 can limit the floating platform 1 to prevent it from drifting away with the ocean current, and adapt to the floating platform 1 as it floats with the sea surface height, preventing the inlet / outlet 7 from being higher than the sea surface, thus preventing seawater from entering the central tube 2.

[0032] The adaptive component 9 includes a connecting pipe 91 rotatably connected to the bottom of the floating platform 1, and a connecting rod 92 slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting pipe 91.

[0033] The coordination between the connecting pipe 91 and the connecting rod 92 allows the floating raft 6 to adjust its position by sliding against each other as the sea surface fluctuates, thereby achieving adaptive adjustment and preventing the inlet / outlet 7 from being higher than the sea surface, which would prevent seawater from entering the central pipe 2, or the seawater from being too high and submerging the inlet / outlet 8.

[0034] Example 2:

[0035] This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.

[0036] Specifically, the first power generation component 3 includes a first generator 31 fixedly connected to the top of the floating platform 1, and a first air turbine 32 fixedly connected to the input end of the first generator 31.

[0037] The first generator 31 is configured to convert the mechanical energy transmitted from the first air turbine 32 into electrical energy, thereby realizing the power generation function. The first air turbine 32 is configured to be driven to rotate by the air flow at the air inlet and outlet 8 of the central pipe 2, thereby converting the kinetic energy of the air flow into mechanical energy and providing power input for the first generator 31.

[0038] Specifically, the second power generation component 4 includes a second generator 41 fixedly connected to the top of the floating platform 1, and a fixed shell 42 fixedly connected to the bottom of the floating platform 1.

[0039] The second generator 41 is configured to convert the mechanical energy transmitted through the bevel gear set 43 into electrical energy, which together with the first generator 31 provides power to the device. The fixed housing 42 is configured to protect the bevel gear set 43 and at the same time provide a support point for the installation of the second air turbine 44.

[0040] Specifically, the second generator 4 also includes a bevel gear set 43 disposed at the input end of the second generator 41, and a second air turbine 44 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed housing 42, with the bevel gear set 43 disposed at one end of the second air turbine 44.

[0041] The bevel gear set 43 can change and transmit the rotation direction and transmission mode of the second air turbine 44, so that the rotation of the second air turbine 44 can effectively drive the second generator 41 to generate electricity. The second air turbine 44 can utilize the air flow in the marine environment to drive its rotation, converting air kinetic energy into mechanical energy, which is transmitted to the second generator 41 through the bevel gear set 43 to realize the power generation function. It should be noted that the bevel gear set 43 consists of two meshing bevel gears, one fixedly connected to the input end of the second generator 41, and the other fixed to one end of the second air turbine 44.

[0042] Specifically, a limiting groove 10 is provided on the inner wall of the connecting pipe 91, and a limiting post 11 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the connecting rod 92, and the outer side of the limiting post 11 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 10.

[0043] The use of the limiting groove 10 and the limiting post 11 together can prevent the connecting rod 92 from sliding out of the connecting tube 91, thus ensuring the structural stability and normal operation of the adaptive component 9.

[0044] Specifically, a fixing block 12 is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting rod 92, and a fixing rod 13 is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting tube 91.

[0045] The fixing block 12 can be used to fix the device on the seabed in a suitable position to prevent the device from being swept away by the waves. The fixing rod 13 can connect the two sets of connecting pipes 91 on the same side, thereby facilitating the improvement of the stability of the floating platform 1.

[0046] Specifically, a positioning ring 14 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the second air turbine 44, and the outer side of the positioning ring 14 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed housing 42. A limit ring 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed housing 42, and the inner wall of the limit ring 15 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the input end of the second generator 41.

[0047] The positioning ring 14 is used to position the second air turbine 44, ensuring that the second air turbine 44 rotates within the fixed housing 42 and preventing it from shifting during rotation, which could cause the two bevel gears in the bevel gear set 43 to separate. The limiting ring 15 is used to limit the input end of the second generator 41, ensuring the stability of the input end of the second generator 41 during power transmission and preventing it from experiencing excessive displacement or shaking due to force or rotation, thus ensuring the smooth operation of the power generation process.

[0048] Specifically, a protective shell 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the floating platform 1, and a guide plate 17 is snapped into the inner wall of the protective shell 16.

[0049] The protective shell 16 provides installation space for the guide plate 17 and protects the first generator 31 and the second generator 41. The guide plate 17 can guide some rainwater from the floating platform 1 into the sea, preventing rainwater or seawater from damaging the first generator 31 and the second generator 41.

[0050] Example 3:

[0051] This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the first two embodiments.

[0052] Specifically, a plug rod 18 is fixedly connected to one side of the protective shell 16, and the outer side of the plug rod 18 is plugged into the inner wall of the guide plate 17. An installation groove 19 is provided on the inner wall of the protective shell 16, and the inner wall of the installation groove 19 is slidably connected to the outer side of the guide plate 17.

[0053] The plug rod 18 is designed to fix and position the guide plate 17, preventing the guide plate 17 from falling off and losing its guiding function for seawater and rainwater. The mounting groove 19 is designed to provide guidance for the installation and removal of the guide plate 17. When removing the guide plate 17, simply push the guide plate 17 to slide along the mounting groove 19 until it is separated from the plug rod 18. Then pull the guide plate 17 to remove it from the mounting groove 19.

[0054] Specifically, a pull rod 20 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the guide plate 17, and a fixing bracket 21 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the mounting rod 5, and the inner wall of the fixing bracket 21 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the central tube 2.

[0055] The pull rod 20 allows operators to easily pull and adjust the position of the guide plate 17 when maintenance and inspection of the first generator 3 and the second generator 4 are required. The fixed frame 21 enhances the stability of the central pipe 2 in the device, ensuring that the central pipe 2 will not shake or shift due to the impact of seawater during the operation of the device, and ensuring the normal operation of the inlet / outlet 7 and the air inlet / outlet 8.

[0056] In use, the device is first installed in a suitable position using the fixing block 12. The connecting pipe 91 and connecting rod 92 slide against each other until the floating raft 6 contacts the sea surface. Simultaneously, the inlet / outlet 7 of the central pipe 2 is submerged. When the waves propel the seawater, it enters the central pipe 2 through the inlet / outlet 7, thus displacing the air inside. The airflow in the central pipe 2 is discharged through the air inlet / outlet 8, thereby using the kinetic energy of the airflow to drive the first air turbine 32 to rotate, thus supplying power to the first generator 31. After the waves recede, the seawater in the central pipe 2 will naturally flow out due to the lack of thrust. Simultaneously, the outflow of seawater... Negative pressure causes the air around the air inlet / outlet 8 to enter the central pipe 2, thereby driving the first air turbine 32 to rotate again through the kinetic energy of the airflow. At this time, the first generator 3 can complete its work. When the sea breeze is strong, the kinetic energy of the sea breeze will directly drive the second air turbine 44 to rotate. At this time, the second air turbine 44 drives the bevel gear set 43 to rotate, thereby supplying power to the second generator 41. When it is necessary to perform maintenance on the first generator 3 and the second generator 4, first push the guide plate 17 to slide along the mounting groove 19 until it is disengaged from the plug rod 18. Then pull the guide plate 17 to disengage it from the mounting groove 19. After that, the pull rod 20 can be pulled to remove the guide plate 17 for maintenance.

[0057] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
