Referring to fig. 1 and 2, an embodiment of the present application provides a self-generating buoy system, including: a floatation device 106, a movable rod 112, a rotation member 114, a wave plate 110, and a vibration energy harvesting device 208.
Specifically, the movable rod 112 extends into the floatation device 106 and is movably connected to the floatation device 106.

In the self-generating buoy system, the wave plate 110 is connected to the movable rod 112 through the rotating member 114, and the rotating member 114 may be a universal shaft or a universal hinge, so that the wave plate 110 can rotate on the plane where the movable rod 112 is located. The rotating member 114 makes the floating device 106 not easily swing due to the pulling of the wave plate 110 when the wave plate is impacted by the waves and rotates on the plane of the movable rod 112, so that the floating device 106 is not easily toppled due to the impact of the waves, and the energy collecting efficiency can be improved.
In one embodiment, referring to fig. 1, the wave plate 110 includes a force receiving portion 1102 and a connecting portion 1104 connecting the force receiving portion 1102 to the rotating member 114, the force receiving portion 1102 has a width greater than that of the connecting portion 1104, and the connecting portion 1104 has a hollow structure to reduce resistance to wave in water and reduce the mass of the system. The area of the force receiving part 1102 is large, and more ocean wave mechanical energy can be collected.
In one embodiment, referring to fig. 1, the connection structure between the connection portion 1104 and the force-receiving portion 1102 is a long-arm structure, which has a larger bottom area compared to a conventional point absorption device, and is beneficial to preventing the system from overturning and improving the stability of the system.
In one embodiment, referring to fig. 1, the wave plate force bearing part 1102 is partially hollowed, and a one-way valve 108 is provided at the hollowed position, so that when a wave pushes the wave plate 110 from bottom to top, the one-way valve 108 is closed to generate sufficient thrust on the wave plate 110, and when the wave pushes the wave plate 110 from top to bottom, the one-way valve 108 is opened to reduce the downward thrust on the wave plate 110. The wave plate 110 can move greatly, and the movable rod 112 is driven to move, so that the movable rod 112 and the floating device 106 can move relatively greatly. In one embodiment, the one-way valve 108 is a check valve.
In one embodiment, referring to fig. 2, the floating device 106 is provided with a partition 206, and the self-generating buoy system further comprises an auxiliary energy collecting device and an energy management device 204. Specifically, the auxiliary energy harvesting device is used for harvesting energy in the surrounding environment except for wave energy and converting the harvested energy into electric energy. The auxiliary energy harvesting devices may include, but are not limited to, wind power generation devices 102, solar panels 104. The energy management device 204 is placed on the partition plate 206, the vibration energy collecting device 208 is arranged between the partition plate and the flat plate, the output ends of the auxiliary energy collecting device and the vibration energy collecting device 208 are connected with the input end of the energy management device 204, the converted electric energy is transmitted to the energy management device 204, and the energy management device 204 performs rectification, storage, discharge and other processing on the converted electric energy. The electric energy storage part can adopt, but is not limited to, a battery 202 and a super capacitor.
In one embodiment, referring to fig. 3, the self-generating buoy system further includes a linear bearing 304 and a return spring 302. Specifically, the linear bearing 304 is sleeved on the movable rod 112 and located between the movable rod 112 and the bottom of the floating device 106, and lubricating oil may be added to the connection. At the lower end of the linear bearing 304, the movable rod 112 and the floating device 106 are sealed by a sealing ring 306, so that seawater is prevented from entering the floating device 106 to cause system sinking or short circuit while the movable rod 112 and the floating device 106 can slide freely. The return spring 302 is sleeved on the movable rod 112 and is positioned between the linear bearing 304 and the vibration energy collecting device 208, the lower end of the return spring 302 is propped against the upper end of the linear bearing 304, the upper end of the return spring 302 is propped against a flat plate, and the vibration energy collecting device 208 is placed on and fixed on the upper portion of the flat plate. Vibration energy harvesting device 208 is located between diaphragm 206 and the plate and is fixed to the diaphragm at an upper end. In one embodiment, vibration energy harvesting device 208 further comprises a first spring. The movable bar 112 compresses or pulls the first spring when moving (i.e., raising or lowering) relative to the floatation device 106, causing it to deform.
In one embodiment, return spring 302 is fixedly attached at its upper and lower ends to plate and linear bearing 304, respectively. When the wave lifts the wave receiving portion 1102, the movable rod 112 pushes the flat plate to move up, the return spring 302 is stretched, the wave continues to move forward, and the return spring 302 provides the elastic force to the flat plate to restore the initial position, thereby restoring the wave plate 110 to the initial position.
When the wave comes from different directions to drive the wave plate to move, the wave plate 110 drives the movable rod 112 to move under the action of the rotating component, and the linear bearing 304 between the movable rod 112 and the floating device 106 is matched to convert the wave energy of the wave plate 110 driven by the wave into the linear motion kinetic energy of the movable rod 112, and the friction between the movable rod 112 and the floating device 106 can be reduced by matching with lubricating oil, so that the mechanical loss is reduced. The movable rod 112 moves linearly to push the plate, and since the vibration energy harvesting device 208 is fixed on the plate and the partition 206 is also fixed, the vibration energy harvesting device 208 is squeezed, and thus electric energy is generated.
In one embodiment, the vibration energy harvesting device uses piezoelectric conversion principles to convert mechanical energy transferred to the interior into electrical energy. As shown in fig. 4, the piezoelectric vibration energy collecting device is a piezoelectric energy collecting device for collecting low-frequency vibration, the energy collecting device is a rotary piezoelectric energy collecting device, a pressing sheet and a lead screw of the device can receive external vibration energy and convert the low-frequency low-speed external vibration into rotary mechanical energy of the ratchet 402, and then the pressing sheet is collided through a protruding tooth structure on the ratchet 402. Thereby further improving the vibration frequency of the outside. After the piezoelectric sheet is impacted and extruded, the piezoelectric sheet can generate gradually damped vibration working at a resonance frequency, current flows in the piezoelectric sheet according to the piezoelectric effect of the piezoelectric material, and the device outputs electric energy outwards. The mechanical energy of the pawl is further converted into electrical energy for output.
In another embodiment, the vibration energy harvesting device uses electromagnetic conversion principles to convert mechanical energy transmitted to the interior into electrical energy. As shown in fig. 5, the electromagnetic vibration energy collecting device is an electromagnetic energy collecting device for collecting low-frequency vibration, the energy collecting device is a rotary electromagnetic energy collecting device, the pressing sheet and the lead screw of the device can receive external vibration energy and convert the low-frequency low-speed external vibration into the rotary mechanical energy of the ratchet wheel, then the eight rubidium-iron-boron magnets 502 adhered on the ratchet wheel and the four series copper coils 504 adhered on the shell interact with each other through the electromagnetic induction principle, when the ratchet wheel drives the magnets to rotate, the magnetic flux passing through the coils 504 changes, according to the electromagnetic induction principle, current flows in the external circuit of the closed circuit and the coils 504, and the device outputs electric energy to the outside. The mechanical energy of the pawl is further converted into electrical energy for output.
In another embodiment, the vibration energy harvesting device uses an electrostatic conversion principle to convert mechanical energy transferred to the interior into electrical energy. As shown in fig. 6, the electrostatic vibration energy harvesting device is an electrostatic energy harvesting device for collecting low-frequency vibration, the energy harvesting device is a rotary electrostatic energy harvesting device, and the pressing plate and the lead screw of the device can receive external vibration energy and convert the low-frequency low-speed external vibration into the rotary mechanical energy of the ratchet wheel. The electrostatic induction portion of the rotary electrostatic energy harvester is mounted between the rotary ratchet and the upper bearing chuck. The charged electret disc 602 is tightly attached to the rotating ratchet wheel, wherein 10 groups of fan-shaped electret patterns which are uniformly distributed on the surface of the disc 602 are contained, each group of patterns contains two fan-shaped areas with the same area, one area is charged, and the other area is uncharged, so that 10 fan-shaped charged electret areas which are distributed at equal intervals are formed. While 10 sets of PCB metal counter electrodes 604 corresponding to the electret pattern were mounted on the upper bearing chuck surface and assembled with the electret disk 602 at a 200 μm spacing. When the ratchet wheel drives the electret disc 602 to rotate, induced charges are alternately generated on the electrodes, and electric energy is output outwards. The mechanical energy of the pawl is further converted into electrical energy for output.
In one embodiment, the vibration energy harvesting device uses a principle of friction-type conversion to convert mechanical energy transferred to the interior into electrical energy. As shown in fig. 7, the friction type vibration energy collecting device is a friction energy collecting device for collecting low frequency vibration, and the energy collector is a rotary friction energy collector, and the pressing plate and the lead screw of the device can receive external vibration energy and convert the low frequency and low speed external vibration into the rotary mechanical energy of the ratchet wheel. The friction electrification part of the rotary friction energy collector is arranged between the ratchet wheel turntable and the device base. The principle of the triboelectric part is a single electrode structure, the bottom of the turntable is adhered with a layer of flexible aluminum foil 702, and a layer of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) material 704 is adhered on the aluminum foil to serve as a triboelectric material. And the device mount has fan-shaped electrodes similar to those in the electrostatic configuration of figure 6. Two adjacent electrodes in different areas are alternately connected to form two electrodes. When the ratchet wheel drives the electret disc to rotate, because the PTFE material 704 is in contact with and separated from the electrode, inductive charges can be alternately generated on the electrode according to the friction electrification phenomenon, and electric energy is output outwards. The mechanical energy of the pawl is further converted into electrical energy for output.
Further, theoretical analysis is carried out on the working process of the self-generating buoy system in the following, and in the analysis, the distance between the wave plates and the floating device is assumed to be the wavelength of half of ocean waves, and the distance between the two wave plates is assumed to be one ocean wave. In different marine environments, the distance between the wave plates and the buoy can be increased according to the local hydrological conditions, and the number of the wave plates is increased, so that the effect of the wave plates on improving the frequency of the ocean waves is improved, and the water surface stability of the system is further improved.
Fig. 8 schematically shows a theoretical analysis of the operation of the buoy system using two wave plate structures when encountering a wave. The various stages of movement of the self-generating buoy system in the waves are indicated by the numerical numbers in fig. 8-12 (e.g., numbers 1-6 in fig. 8). Referring to fig. 8, when a wave comes from a direction with an angle of 0 degree with the wave plate, in the 2 nd stage, the wave crest moves to the middle position of the stress part of the wave plate, the stress part of the wave plate at the right end is acted by the wave from bottom to top, the one-way valve is closed, the wave plate at the right end is lifted upwards, the wave plate at the other end is acted by the rotating downward pulling force from the connecting part between the two wave plates, similarly, the one-way valve of the wave plate at the left end is closed, and the floating device is kept in place by the seawater resistance. Thus, the movable rod is lifted, and the movable rod and the floating device are displaced in a relative motion. And 3, when the sea wave moves between the floating device and the wave plate, the wave plate returns to the initial position due to the extrusion of the first spring of the vibration energy acquisition device. And 4, when the waves move to the bottom of the floating device, the floating device is lifted by the waves, one-way valves of wave plates at the left end and the right end are opened, the action of downward waves on the wave plates is reduced, the wave plates move upwards together with the floating device under the action of a first spring in the floating device, and the floating device does not move relative to the movable rod. And 5, when the wave moves forward further and moves to a position between the floating device and the second wave plate, the floating device and the wave plates return to the initial positions. Stage 6, when the wave moves to the second wave plate, similar to stage 1, but now the left end wave plate is lifted upwards. Therefore, when a wave comes from a position with an included angle of 0 degree with the wave plate, the wave energy enables the movable rod and the floating device to generate displacement of relative motion twice, namely the movable rod squeezes the vibration energy collecting device twice, and therefore electric energy is obtained. When a wave comes in from a direction that makes an angle of 90 degrees with the wave plate, referring to fig. 9, there is almost no relative movement between the movable bar and the floating device, similar to the case of the 4 th stage of fig. 8.
Fig. 10 schematically shows theoretical analysis of a working process of the self-generating buoy system adopting a three-wave-plate structure when encountering a wave. When a wave comes along a direction of 0 degrees with one of the wave plates, the wave plates can enable the movable rod to generate upward relative motion between the two buoys, but because the distance between the wave plate at the left end and the floating device in the wave transmission direction does not reach the relation of half wavelength, when the wave lifts the wave plate at the left end, the floating device does not descend to the initial position, so that the second relative displacement generated by the floating device and the movable rod is smaller than the first relative displacement, and the second relative displacement generated by the movable rod and the floating device does not reach the displacement of the maximum relative motion.
Fig. 11 schematically shows theoretical analysis of a working process of the self-generating buoy system adopting a four-wave-plate structure when encountering a wave. When a wave comes from the direction with the included angle of 0 degree with one of the wave plates, the working process is similar to the working process of a wave of two wave plate structures coming from the direction with the included angle of 0 degree with the wave plates, and the movable rod can generate two times of upward relative motion with the buoy.
Fig. 12 schematically shows a theoretical analysis of a working process of the self-generating buoy system adopting a four-wave-plate structure when encountering a wave. When a wave comes from a direction with included angles with four wave plates, the working process is similar to that when a self-generating buoy system with three wave plate structures encounters a wave to come along a direction with 0 degree with one of the wave plates, the wave plates can drive the movable rods to move, so that the movable rods and the floating device generate displacement of two relative motions, but the displacement of the second relative motion cannot reach a maximum value.
Fig. 13 shows the working process of the self-generating buoy system with two wave plate structures when a wave comes from a direction with an included angle of 0 degree with the wave plate without a rotating member, and the 2 nd stage and the 4 th stage are respectively connected rigidly with the wave plate due to the movable rod, when the wave plate at the right end is lifted, the movable rod moves upwards and is simultaneously pulled by the connecting part, so that the floating device is pulled to rotate, and the energy collection efficiency is reduced.
Fig. 14 shows that, in the case of no one-way valve, the working process of the self-generating buoy system with two wave plate structures when a wave comes from a direction with an included angle of 0 degrees with the wave plates is equivalent to that the one-way valves of the wave plates at the left and right ends are both opened, at this time, since most of the buoyancy of the sea water and the resistance of the sea water are offset, the floating device and the movable rod cannot produce a large-amplitude relative motion, that is, the vibration energy collecting device has a small effect, and the generated electric energy is also small.
