The invention discloses a wedge plunger wave making device suitable for making high-order nonlinear waves, the wedge plunger wave making device comprises a servo system, a motion module, a wave absorbing device and a water tank, the servo system is composed of a servo motor, a driver, a controller and a man-machine interaction interface, one side of the servo motor is provided with a transmission device through a fixing support, and the other side of the servo motor is provided with a driving device; the bottom end of the transmission device is in transmission connection with a movement module, mounting grooves are oppositely formed in the two sides of the water tank, water baffles are slidably connected into the mounting grooves in a sleeved mode and located behind the movement module, and a wave absorbing device is installed at the tail end, away from the water baffles, of the water tank. Wedge body movement rules corresponding to different waveforms are embedded into the servo controller, the servo motor is controlled to drive the wedge body to accurately do vertical movement through the driver, and the movement speed and position of the movement module and the torque change of the motor can be clearly displayed on a human-computer interaction interface. The device is used for monitoring the working condition of wave making equipment in real time.
