This invention relates to a dual-mode rocker-
plate wave energy generation device and
energy harvesting method based on a stepped
moon pool. At least one
moon pool is set within a square
barge carrier. A rectangular step is set at the bottom of the
moon pool, and a rocker-plate float is installed inside the cavity, with a rotating shaft passing through the center of the float. Slots perpendicular to the surface of the square
barge carrier are respectively opened on two opposite side walls of the moon
pool cavity. A
piston rod is slidably connected within the slots, with one end of the
piston rod rigidly connected to the end of the adjacent rotating shaft via a
crank-connecting rod, and the other end connected to a hydraulic transmission
power generation system. The rectangular step within the moon
pool amplifies the
wave response amplitude, causing the heave-roll dual-degree-of-freedom rocker-plate
assembly to generate heave and roll motions. The rotating shaft converts the wave energy accumulated in the expanded moon
pool into electrical energy through the hydraulic transmission
power generation system. This invention achieves an organic unity of wave focusing effect, efficient
energy harvesting, wide-
frequency response, and structural durability, providing a reliable technical solution for the large-scale application of wave energy power generation technology.
