Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-6472 JP 2006-189018 A

Problems that the device tries to solve

Since the conventional device for converting wave power into continuous rotational motion was laid on the sea, the maintenance and inspection of the device was affected by stormy weather and was not easy. In addition, the device that converts the irregular up-and-down (reciprocating) motion of the wave into a continuous rotational motion that rotates in a certain direction has a complicated structure, increases the construction cost, and is not easy to maintain.

Means to solve the problem

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is a device for converting continuous up-and-down (reciprocal) motion of a wave in a constant direction to convert it into a constant direction, and includes a floating body 12 on the sea surface and a rack on the land side. The support 1 is balanced by the wire 17 and is movably connected in accordance with the vibration of the wave. The land-side wires 17 are mounted in opposite directions to each other in the rotation direction. Since the wave force is characterized by rotating the flyfoil 10 connected to the output rotating shaft via the chain 8, the wave power is converted into a continuous rotational motion, so that the irregular up-and-down (reciprocating) motion of the wave is in a certain direction. The machine can be converted into a rotary motion continuously, and maintenance and inspection of the device is no longer affected by stormy weather. Furthermore, after fixing one end of the wire 17 to the base 14 of the seabed, and passing the wire guide 15 of the base 14 again through the pulley 13 on the other side of the wire 17 to the floating body 12 on the sea surface, The end of the wire 17 was secured to the rack support 1 on the land side.

Effect of device

As described above, the device for converting the wave force into the continuous rotational motion according to the present invention uses the two pairs of pinions 4 and 5 with built-in latte attached in the rotational direction opposite to each other. As a result, the installation area was reduced, construction costs were reduced, and maintenance management became easier. Furthermore, by connecting a pulley to a floating body on the surface of the sea, the vertical movement of the floating body can be amplified to double up and down (reciprocating) movement with the land-side wire, and the wave force can be continuously rotated efficiently. It became possible to convert to.

It is a front view of the apparatus which shows two sets of pinions with a built-in latte which show one Example concerning this invention, and the flyfoil connected with the output rotating shaft through the chain. It is the left view which looked at FIG. 1 from the left side. It is a route map from a floating body on the ocean to a land-based rotational motion converter. It is explanatory drawing of the other example which attached the wire to the floating body through the base of the seabed.

Hereinafter, embodiments according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIGS. 1 to 3 show an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the floating body 12 on the sea surface and the rack support 1 on the land side are balanced by a wire 17 and adjusted to the vibration of the wave. The flywheel 10 connected to the output rotating shaft via the chain 8 is rotated through the chain 8 while the movably connected and the rotation of the two pairs of pinions 4 and 5 with built-in latte attached with the land-side wires 17 opposite to each other in the rotation direction. A device that converts the wave force to be generated into a continuous rotational motion. Specifically, a wire 17 is connected to the base 14 of the seabed, and after passing through a pulley (for underwater) 13 attached to the floating body 12 on the sea surface, the base again The rack support 1 was picked up through 14 wire guides 15 and through a land pulley 16. In this rack support 1, a counterweight 11 is built in to balance with the floating body 12. The pinion right side 5 is driven when the rack support 1 is raised, and the left pinion 4 is driven when it is lowered. The flywheel 10 is incorporated so that the left rack 2 and the right rack 3 are not interrupted at the upper and lower stop points, and the rotation is smoothed. The flywheel 10 is connected to the generator. By attaching a pulley (for underwater) 13 to the floating body 12, the vertical movement of the floating body 12 can be amplified to double up and down (reciprocating) movement of the land-side wire 17. Can be rotated. When the left large gear 6 and the right large gear 7 that make the left pinion 4 and the right pinion 5 coaxial are rotated once, the free hub 9 is tripled if the number of teeth of the left large gear 6 and the right large gear 7 is one third. Number of revolutions. In addition, if the left pinion 4 and the right pinion 5 have a small number of teeth (the left pinion 4 and the right pinion 5 have a small diameter), the number of rotations can be increased. On the beach exposed to huge swells and waves, except for the pulley (for underwater) 13 attached to the floating body 12, as shown in FIG. By passing through, the vertical movement of the rack (rack support) on the land can be halved and it can cope with stormy weather.

The present invention can be used not only for wave power but also for various training devices.
