Benefits of technology

This new type of apparatus uses buoyant waves that move up or down create force when exposed to ocean currents. These movements generate electricity from these forces over time. Its technical effect is increased efficiency at converting electrical signals without being limited due to its location nearer shore. Additionally, this design allows for easy maintenance while maintaining reliable performance even under harsh environments such as extreme weather.

Problems solved by technology

This patents discusses different ways how an oceanic wave energy converter works effectively converting sea surface waves into useful forms of energy such as pumping liquid through pipelines. However, current designs require expensive equipment and may damage sensitive areas near shore when subjected to strong forces caused from seawater movements.

Embodiment 1

[0034] Such as Figure 1-Figure 11 As shown, the present invention includes power generation system II and stationary system I. Among them, the fixing system I includes a floating tank 103 and a fixing frame 101. The fixing frame 101 is a cube structure, which is fixedly connected to the top of the floating tank 103. The four corners of the side of the fixing frame 101 are respectively provided with upright columns 102, and the upright columns 102 are square prism structures. The power generation system II is composed of four groups of identical power generation mechanisms respectively arranged on the columns 102 of the fixed frame 101, each group of power generation mechanisms includes a float 201, an energy conversion device and an energy output device. The center of the float 201 is provided with a hole 210 penetrating up and down. The float 201 is fitted on the column 102 through the hole 210 and moves up and down along the column 102 . The energy conversion device includes

Embodiment 2

[0041] Except following difference, other is with embodiment 1.

[0042]The buoyancy tank 103 is a hollow structure, which can be filled with appropriate amount of seawater or sand for counterweight according to the sea conditions, so as to make the entire power generation device sink to a certain depth below the water surface, and the float 201 can vibrate up and down at a suitable position, and at the same time can ensure The stability of the power generation plant as a whole during operation. The fixed system I has a simple structure and flexible counterweight, which improves the stability and reliability of the entire power generation device, facilitates processing and implementation, and is economical.

[0043] The buoyant tank 103 provides downward pulling force through its own weight and the counterweight of sand in the tank, so that the whole power generation device can be immersed in a certain depth in the seabed, and the float 201 is normally reciprocated up and down al

Embodiment 3

[0045] Except following difference, other is with embodiment 1.

[0046] Such as Figure 9 As shown, the float 201 is a hollow cylinder with an inverted conical bottom. The structure of the buoy 201 is conducive to collecting more wave energy, and its inner hollow can be loaded with counterweight according to sea conditions. The surface layer of the float 201 is coated with anti-corrosion paint to prevent corrosion by seawater.
