Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0003] Currently, in the midst of environmental issues being addressed globally, there are many deficiencies in natural energy that can generate electricity repeatedly. There are many difficult-to-solve obstacles such as tragic falling accidents caused by the blades of wind power generation and problems with the black power generation panels of solar panels. Therefore, the present invention proposes a wave power vibration power generation device with a structure that can generate electricity safely and cleanly using the power of waves in the sea and rivers.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0004] The wave power vibration power generation device of the present invention is a floating structure that can float at sea. It is a power generation device installed inside the floating structure, capable of generating electricity and transmitting the electricity through a cable attached to the sea to the destination where the electricity is used. Inside the floating structure, a storage battery with a power storage function is also installed. It is a wave power vibration power generation device.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0005] The wave-powered vibration power generation device of this invention can utilize artificial structures submerged on the seabed, such as artificial reefs, concrete slabs, and pits, so as not to be swept away and drift on the surface of the sea by the powerful force of waves generated on the ocean. It can also utilize natural structures such as rocks and bedrock. The floating structure is securely entangled with multiple fastening materials using metal fittings, chains, wires, and corrosion-resistant ropes and nylon slings so as not to drift on the surface of the sea, and can be fixed in place at a fixed location without being swept away by the force of waves, and is capable of generating electricity.

[0006] The wave vibration power generation device of this invention is a floating structure that is securely entangled by the method described in

[0005] , but even if the wave vibration power generation device drifts due to human error, natural, or unimaginable forces, assuming the worst-case scenario, the floating structure is equipped with a function that allows for the mounting of a Global Positioning System (GPS), wireless cameras, etc., so that the location at sea can be confirmed and secondary disasters can be prevented.

[0007] The wave-powered vibration power generation device of this invention is a wave-powered vibration power generation device that requires maintenance work in order to enable continuous and long-term power generation using the power of waves and natural energy at sea. As the device is a floating structure floating on the sea, the maintenance work requires assistance from tugboats or the like to remove the firmly attached connecting members, then pull or push with the bow of the ship to guide it to a location where safety can be confirmed, and then work is carried out. The wave-powered vibration power generation device has a structure that allows workers to enter the interior of the floating structure using the installed manholes to perform the work. moreover, A wave-powered vibration generator that can be separated into northern and southern hemisphere sections for large-scale replacement work, and when reconnected, maintains watertightness and floats using the buoyancy of seawater.

[0008] The internal structure of the wave power generation device of this invention is combined into a structure that can be divided into a Northern Hemisphere side and a Southern Hemisphere side. On the northern hemisphere side, supported by a base plate, is a vibration power generation device capable of generating electricity using vibrations as a power source. This vibration power generation device is mounted on the northern hemisphere base plate and is capable of generating electricity using wave fluctuations as a power source. On the Southern Hemisphere side, the wave power generation device is equipped with ballast water and batteries to maintain balance and prevent the spherical floating structure from capsizing at sea, and the Global Positioning System (GPS) described in

[0006] and the power transmission cables are also mounted on the Southern Hemisphere side.

[0009] The external structure of the wave power generation device on the northern hemisphere side of this invention includes a color-changing lamp installed in the central part of the spherical shape. This lamp is illuminated by electricity generated internally and is identifiable by its color, and a sturdy pole is installed to support the color-changing lamp. On the Southern Hemisphere side of the external structure, a centerboard is installed in the middle of the spherical floating structure to prevent it from capsizing at sea. Because the hull is designed to sway, balance materials are also attached to the lower part of the centerboard. Furthermore, it is equipped with multiple connecting members for linking to underwater structures, as well as metal fittings for attaching to the bottom surface. The base of the wave vibration power generation device is machined into a horizontal shape to ensure stability during temporary placement on a flat surface and during maintenance.

[0010] The wave-powered vibration power generation device for floating offshore structures of this invention is strongly connected to the seabed structure, is capable of being disassembled and reassembled, and is rigidly constructed so that it will not be destroyed by the strong wave forces on both the Northern and Southern Hemisphere sides. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0011] The following diagrams illustrate the explanation. I will now explain the components shown in Figures 1 and 2. The indicator shown at ▲A▼ is a color-changing light. Color-changing lights are lights that emit light day and night, and they emit light as a signal so as not to obstruct passing ships when wave power generators are operating. The structure indicated by ▲B▼ is a mast for a color-changing lamp. It supports the color-changing lamp. The area indicated by ▲C▼ is the outer circle of the Northern Hemisphere. It represents the components of the floating structure that protrude above sea level. The device shown in ▲D▼ is a vibration power generation device. It is installed in the Northern Hemisphere and generates electricity using wave energy. The area indicated by ▲E▼ is a manhole. It is installed in wave power generation facilities with a total drainage capacity exceeding 10 tons. The area indicated by ▲F▼ is the outer circle of the Southern Hemisphere. These are the underwater components of a floating structure. The item indicated by ▲G▼ is an internally mounted balance material located inside the Southern Hemisphere. The part indicated by ▲H▼ is the mounting section for the connecting fitting. This is the component used to connect the member to the underwater structure and to the wave power generation device. The component shown in ▲I▼ is a robust connecting member. It connects to the seabed structure and is further attached to the fittings described in ▲H▼. During maintenance work, it is detached from the wave power generation device and floats. The object indicated by ▲J▼ is the centerboard, which is installed below the sea surface to prevent the floating structure from capsizing and to maintain stability. The object indicated by ▲K▼ is a support material for attaching seabed structures, and it lies submerged on the seabed. It is firmly attached to artificial and natural structures to prevent the wave power generation device from drifting due to wave force. The weights indicated by ▲L▼ are for preventing rollovers. Because the vibration generator mounted in the Northern Hemisphere is heavy, balance adjustments are made here as well. They are mounted on the underside of the centerboard. The object indicated by ▲N▼ is a voltage cable. It transmits electricity generated by wave power generators to its destination via this cable. It will be installed in the Southern Hemisphere. The area indicated by ▲M▼ is the central internal deck located within the Northern Hemisphere. This deck houses the engine room where the vibration generator is installed. GPS, cameras, radar, and other equipment are also installed here. The area indicated by ▲O▼ is the internal bottom deck, where the ▲G▼ balance material is installed. It has a flat structure, taking into consideration maintenance work.
