DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wave machine that can be used as a power source or a power source of a nearby factory, an air compressor, or the like by utilizing a wave force generated by a horizontal flow of a wave, a vertical motion, or the like. 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a method of generating power by a wave, there is a method of compressing air by vertical movement of a wave and rotating a turbine by compressed air to generate power. However, in this method, the turbine is rotated using the compressed air, so that the turbine efficiency is low. In this method, the power generation efficiency is extremely low. In addition, the equipment is very complicated, has many failures, and has many drawbacks such as low power generation at a high cost.Therefore, only one turbine wave machine is installed, such as on a ship or at a breakwater. There is also a disadvantage that only a very small amount of electric power or rotational power can be obtained from one wave. Problems to be Solved by the Invention The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks, and moves the wave machine of the float horizontally or vertically or diagonally to the place where waves always come in the place where the ultra-high waves do not hit the surface of the sea or lake water. A large number of units are designed to take more power, power, etc. from one wave, so the main body of the wave machine of the present invention has an extremely simple structure, utilizing the wave such as horizontal flow and vertical movement of the wave It is an object of the present invention to provide a generator, a piston, a rotary type air compressor, and a wave machine that can be used as a power source of a factory.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, there are many types of wave machines which use a vertical movement of a float at a high place where a pillar is always built on the sea surface where waves always come and is not damaged by high waves. Or, a method of installing a wave machine in which a plurality of wave machines are sequentially operated by a horizontal flow and a single wave flowing in a horizontal direction or an oblique direction, and a wave machine with a float alone. It relates to the structure of the main body.

[Various means for solving the problems (embodiments)]

Embodiment To explain the embodiment of FIG. 1, a connecting rod is provided at the top of a very hollow, lightly floating float (1, 1, 1) having an arcuate shape and a central recess (37) in the center direction. (34,34,3
4), and the upper end of the connecting rod is connected to the side plate (30, 30, 30) of the ratchet to which the pawl of the ratchet mechanism is attached, in the center hole of the side plate (30, 30, 30). It is rotatable to both left and right and the output shaft is through-hole,
When the float floats in the direction of the arrow (clockwise) due to the waves, the claw (claw in FIG. 15) (25) of the side plate (30) meshes with the claw (26) of the ratchet wheel of the ratchet mechanism (FIG. 15). When the float rotates down clockwise with the output shaft and the wave leaves and the float (1) descends, the pawl (26) of the ratchet and the pawl (25) of the side plate (30) do not mesh with each other. And the output shaft (10)
Then, the side plate (30) rotates freely. So the super high waves,
Float stop (1) covered with upper and lower and two rubbers to prevent each float from rotating and exceeding the upper and lower limits due to supersonic wave etc.
7, 17, 17) are provided on each of the columns, so that the float stops have horizontal projections, and the columns (2) are spaced apart from each other on the sea surface which is not subject to ultra-high waves. An output shaft (10) that is set up at a high place and each support (2) has a horizontal shape.
Is inserted into the ratchet-type ratchet wheel (26), and the generator inertia wheel (flywheel), pulley (1)
6), etc. are provided, and a belt 20 is wrapped around each pulley (16) so that the rotation of each output shaft (12) is concentrated on one output shaft, and the generator, flywheel (1) of the output shaft
4) rotates clockwise. Therefore, each of the floats has an arc-shaped middle recess (37) on the side surface, so that the horizontal flow and the waves can be efficiently hit. In addition, prop (2)
Is fixed on underwater reefs and breakwaters. (The pulleys 40 and 42, and 40 and 16 are wrapped by a belt.) Next, the above-mentioned operation and effect will be described. The horizontal flow is from the side of the float of the first wave machine coming from the side and oblique directions in the direction of the arrow. When hitting the dent, it is hit efficiently and rises clockwise in the direction of the arrow and rises further by the next high wave, so in this case the pawl of the ratchet side plate and the pawl of the ratchet wheel mesh and output as described above The axis is rotated clockwise by the arrow, and when the wave leaves, the float floats down on the water surface and rises above the water surface due to the gravity of the float and the connecting rod, but in this way the first thing is becoming Then, the second thing hits the place where the float does not hit at the end of the same wave or hits the place where it hits first, and floats in the same way as above, and the float rotates the output shaft of the second thing. And the pulleys (16) of each output shaft are also rotated to remove each belt When the wave leaves and the float goes down, the side plate (30) of the ratchet and the ratchet wheel become as described above, and the both sides do not mesh with each other, so that the side plate ( 30) and the output shaft (10) are disengaged, so that both are free to rotate and the output shaft is not rotated, and the same is true for the third wave machine, the same is true for the next wave, and so on. is there. This wave machine can be used as a single wave machine. In addition, any type of single wave motor that can take power using the vertical movement of the float can be made as shown in FIG. Therefore, the support is attached to a reef or the like under the sea. Therefore, the present application is as described above, so that the structure has a simple and inexpensive structure, has relatively few failures and the like, has a very high efficiency, and has an effect that a large amount of power can be obtained from one wave. Next, a list of a number of single things that can also be made into the wave motivator as shown in FIG. 1 is different from those of FIG. 9 in that the only one of the above-mentioned FIG. 1 is the ratchet side plate (30). Only the weight (9) is added to the weight, which increases the floating force of the float and serves to improve the efficiency, so that in this case when the float is lifted by the wave, the weight is lowered Conversely, the float is to promote the floating force of the float, and when the wave leaves and the float falls, the weight is lifted upward by the power of the float and the connecting rod (4). In this case, the weight (9) is less than the weight of the float and the connecting rod, and must be of such a weight that the float can lower when the wave leaves and the float lowers. In this case, the float does not need to be too light, so that any concrete, stone, cast iron, or the like that can be made strong and inexpensive can be used. Next, we describe a wave machine "Fig. 8" in which the float is much heavier than that of "Fig. 1". This structure is almost the same as that of "Fig. 1", and the only difference is that the float is made very heavy and above the float. The only difference is that it floats on the water as a little above the surface of the water and the wave lifts the float, causing the ratchet mechanism to rotate the output shaft as before as the wave leaves. The operation and effect are the same as those in FIG. Next, a description will be given of a case where the pinion gear is rotated by the rack. As shown in FIG. 7, the difference from the one shown in FIG. 1 is that an arc-shaped rack (3) is provided above the connecting rod. There is a pinion gear meshing with the rack, and a weight is attached to the tip of the rack,
The rack (3) is in an arc shape and has a support shaft (5).
There is a difference that is supported by: Next, in the present operation, when the cylindrical float (1) receives a wave from the direction of the arrow, it floats up (counterclockwise) as shown by the arrow. In this case, the rack (3) is mounted on the support shaft (5). The output shaft (10) is rotated counterclockwise and rotates the pinion gear (6) clockwise, in this case the pinion gear side plate pawl (25) "FIG. 15" and the ratchet pawl (26) mesh. Is rotated clockwise, and when the wave leaves, the float (1) goes down and rises above the water surface. In this case, in contrast to the above, the ratchet mechanism pinion gear pawl and the ratchet wheel pawl (26) are not engaged. As a result, both of them rotate freely, and the output shaft (10) is not rotated. Weight (9) has the same effect as above. (Output shaft (10)
A generator and a flywheel are provided in the apparatus). Then, the pinion gear is rotated by the same rack as above, and the float is described as a weight. This wave machine (Fig. 6) has almost the same structure as the above wave machine. The only difference is that the float is a new weight and the upper part slightly floats on the water surface, and when the wave comes, the arrow In this case, the ratchet mechanism is disengaged with the pawl (25) (FIG. 16) and the pawl (26), and when the wave leaves, the float falls and the upper part rises slightly above the water surface, and Is submerged and floats in the water. In this case, on the contrary, the ratchet mechanism claw (25) and the ratchet wheel claw (2)
6) meshes and the output shaft is rotated. The same effect is obtained by the next wave. To explain the wave machine shown in FIG. 2, the float (1) is hollow inside and has a semi-cylindrical shape, floats on the water surface, and the bottom is located rearward from the wave first hit. Accordingly, the connecting rod (4) is provided on the upper part of the float, and the upper part of the connecting rod (4) is provided on the upper part of the crossing plate (21). The lower part of the connecting rod (4) that is protruding is
The guide device (1) is slidably inserted through the hole of (1).
1) The upper part is attached to a cross board (21), and the lower part is attached to a horizontal support. The cross board is long and is so high that the ultra-high waves cannot reach even if the sea is rough. It is easy for the manager to climb from the land, so Fig. 2 shows a large number of wave machines arranged diagonally for long waves in the horizontal direction. When the direction from which the wave comes is not fixed, the float can be variously shaped such as a cylindrical shape. Therefore, the present wave machine can be used for an air compressor having a linear motion of a piston, a generator capable of generating electric power by a linear motion, and a device operated in a straight line at a factory or the like. It is attached to the tip or the like. Therefore, each pillar is a submarine reef or caisson or stake, etc., which forms a foundation and is fixed on it. In addition, the floating force of the float of this wave machine, the gravitational force when descending below the float and the connecting rod, and two operating forces are obtained, so that the air compressor is double-acting, and the generator is ascending and descending. Also, the power generator and the air compressor can be used, and the wave machine can be used alone. A pinion gear is provided on an output shaft having a ratchet mechanism or a clutch mechanism or a mechanism for rotating the shaft only in one direction as shown in FIG. 1 by providing a rack above the connecting rod (4). And a generator, an air compressor,
It can be used as a power source for factory rotation. The effect of the present wave machine is that when the wave is long in the direction of the arrow and a long wave comes obliquely, the float of the first wave machine is lifted up and the connecting rod (4) is moved directly up by the guide device. The driven machine (generator, air compressor, etc.) not shown or the power source of the factory (not shown) goes up to generate power, air compression, etc., and the float of the first wave machine falls on the water surface when the wave leaves. The driven machine (generator, air compressor) which rises to the surface of the water, in this case also, is driven downward by the gravity of the float and the connecting rod to generate power or compress air, and the wave is generated by the next ( 2) The method of (1) is the same as that of (1) in the action of hitting the float and floating the float, and one wave sequentially operates a number of wave machines as in (3) following (2). It is used for power generation or air compression, and it can take a lot of power sequentially from one wave. There is an effect. The above is repeated for the next wave. The difference between the wave machine shown in FIG. 4 and the wave machine shown in FIG. 2 is that there are four protrusions (13) on the upper, lower, left, and right sides of the float and on both sides of the float (1). The rack (3) is slidably engaged with the U-shaped vertical groove (31) of the guide rod (12), and the rack (3) is connected to the upper part of the float (1). 6) are engaged with each other, and a pawl (25) shown in FIG. 15 of the ratchet mechanism and a pawl (26) of a ratchet wheel which meshes when the output shaft is rotated are provided on the side of the pinion gear. The output shaft (10) is inserted into a ratchet, and the output shaft (10) is provided with a generator and a flywheel (14), and the rotational force when the float floats at all times. In order to increase the floating force of the float and the rack, a steel is placed on the upper end of the rack (3). To stay in the wire (33) is connected, the wire (33) there with a weights at the tip to stay fits in the groove of the pulley (15), so the upper portion of the rack guide tube (1
1), and a guide tube (11) and an output shaft (1).
The case 0) is supported by a column in a portion of the sea surface where the super-wave does not hit, and there is a case where a device for increasing the floating force of the float is not attached. Next, the effect of the present wave motivator is that the float is activated regardless of the direction in which the wave comes, and when the wave comes, the float and the rack are lifted upward. In this case, the pinion gear (6) is moved by the rack (3). In this case, the pawl (25) of the ratchet mechanism meshes with the ratchet (26) and the pawl (26) to rotate the output shaft clockwise as shown by the arrow, and the flywheel (14) and the generator (8) rotate. And waves (3
When 5) leaves, the float falls on the surface of the water by its own weight and floats up. In this case, the pawl (2) of the pinion gear of the ratchet mechanism is used.
5) and the pawl (26) of the ratchet wheel are disengaged. In this case, the rack (3) is one in which the linear movement is double-acted by the guide rod (12) and the guide tube (11). In the case of large wave machines, the floats and racks are very heavy depending on the material in order to prevent crushing due to the impact of waves etc.If the weight becomes very heavy, the floating force of the float will decrease by this amount and the rotational force of the shaft will also decrease The weight and the efficiency are prevented from being deteriorated, so that the weight (9) is provided at the upper part of the machine to lift the float and the rack upward. When the surfacing rises, the weights rotate the pulleys to help lift the float and the rack upwards. The weights (9) are opposite to the waves when the floats (1) and the racks descend, (9) Float and rack descend Therefore in which sheaves the bribes is pulled upwardly to rotate. The weight of the weight is such that the float and rack can fall down if the waves leave. If efficiency is neglected in this wave motive, there is no need to attach weights.
The efficiency of the machine is such that even when no weight is attached, the structure is simpler than that of the conventional one, there are few failures, the cost can be reduced, and when the weight is attached, the efficiency can be increased. The wave machine shown in FIG. 3 will be described.
The structure of the wave machine shown in FIG. 3 is substantially the same as that of the wave machine shown in FIG. 4 except that the upper part of the float floats slightly above the surface of the water and the latter part sinks in the water and floats. It is a floating float of the weight, and the output shaft is rotated by the rack (3) when the wave leaves and the float moves down. Next, as an operational effect, when the float is lifted upward by the wave, the non-meshed wave of the pawl (25) of the pinion gear and the pawl (26) of the ratchet mechanism of FIG. When) descends, the two mesh with each other in the opposite manner to rotate the output shaft clockwise to rotate the generator and the flywheel. The same effect is obtained by repeating the above with the next wave. The effect is the same as that of FIG. The float of the machine does not need to be light, so it can be made of concrete with a slightly hollow inside, it can be made of wood, plastic, iron, and other various materials that are not permeable to water. Things. The wave machine shown in FIG. 5 will be described. The one in "Figure 5" is not very different from the one in "Figure 3", but to explain what's different, the float does not need to be very light, and the rack is quite long. The two upper and lower pinion gears mesh with each other and are supported by two output shafts. Each output shaft is provided with a pulley (16, 19), and the two pulleys are connected to a belt (2).
0) may be engaged with each other. Alternatively, a chain gear may be provided instead of the pulley, and the chain may be engaged. Therefore, in this case, one intermediate gear is provided between two gears. Is to be engaged. Next, the effect of this machine is that when the buoyancy is levitated by the waves, the rack moves upward and rotates the upper and lower two pinion gears counterclockwise,
In this case, the pawl (25) of the pinion gear on the ratchet mechanism shown in FIG. 16 meshes with the pawl (26) of the output shaft and the output shaft and rotates the output shaft counterclockwise in the direction of the arrow. Lower pinion gear claw (25) and output shaft claw wheel claw (2)
6) is disengaged, the output shaft and the pinion gear are free to rotate and the output shaft is not rotated, and when the wave leaves, the float and rack begin to descend by gravity, and in this case On the contrary, the pawl (25) of the upper pinion gear and the pawl (26) of the ratchet of the output shaft are not meshed, and the pawl (25) of the lower pinion gear and the pawl of the ratchet wheel are meshed, and the output shaft is turned clockwise in the direction of the arrow. The generator rotates and the flywheel rotates normally. The float floats on the surface of the water and acts in the same manner by the next wave. The effect of this machine is not so different from that of FIG. 3, but the structure is a little complicated, but the output shaft is rotated by two operating forces when the float rises and when the float descends (by gravity). Therefore, the efficiency is higher than the conventional one. A description will be given of FIG. A guide tube (4) is constructed by striking a breakwater or underwater reef or underwater and a pile, and laying a pillar (3) on the foundation, and vertically moving the connecting rod to the horizontal pillar (15).
A coil tube (14,14,14,14) is provided integrally with the guide tube (4) above the upper part of (4,4,4),
An insulator is applied to the inner wall of the tube, and a lid to which the insulator is attached is provided at the upper end. The connecting rod has a lower end provided with a float floating in seawater, an upper part provided with a magnet, and a lower part provided with a rubber plate covered with a rubber plate for stopping when the float floats to the uppermost position. The coil (6) of the electric wire is installed inside the coil tube (14), and the center portion is adapted to generate electricity through a magnet. Next, when the wave comes to the first one, the float (1) floats, the connecting rod is moved directly by the guide tube (4), and the magnet (5) is moved to the center of the coil (6). Moving up the space, electricity is generated on the wire (12) of the coil, and when the wave comes to the next float, the previous float goes down and floats on the water surface. It moves downward inside to generate a current. When the waves sequentially float the floats, when the waves leave and the floats descend, a current is generated in the electric wire of the coil, and the electricity is charged into a storage battery and used. Therefore, the float moves downward due to the gravity of the float and the connecting rod. Therefore, in this wave machine, as described above, a large number of wave machines can be operated by one wave, so that a large amount of current can be generated. It has many effects such as being usable. (When the float moves to the uppermost position, the float stopper (15) hits the horizontal support (10) to stop the float, and when the float moves to the bottom, it is stopped by the float stopper (13).) Please refer to Fig. 1 for details.
0 and 42 and pulleys 40 and 16 are tied together by a belt (20). A power generator may be provided for each unit without connecting the rotation of each unit with a belt. Anything such as a chain instead of a belt is acceptable.

Ratchet mechanism aka "one-way rotating machine". 4. The "guide rod" in each figure such as FIGS. 2, 3, 4, and 5 moves the float directly. In addition to the above-described embodiment, the rotating roller having a groove on the back side of the rack and on the opposite side of the pinion gear is moved up and down. There are various types other than the above-described embodiments, such as one in which grooves provided at intervals are rotatably fitted to the opposite side of the rack from the pinion gear. 5. The generator capable of generating power by vertical movement attached to the connecting rod (4) in FIG. 2 has a rectangular shape in which a coil is wound around the connecting rod and magnets are provided outside the coil. 6. Means (structure) of the present invention is to float a vertical motion of a wave such as a sea or a lake as a float, and provide a one-way rotating device to rotate the linear motion in a fixed direction so that the shaft always rotates in a fixed direction. I made it. In addition, the up-and-down movement of the float was made to take linear power. 7. Any wave machine of each embodiment or a wave machine with a float in the above-mentioned drawings can be grouped so that a large number of power can be obtained from one wave (see FIGS. 1 and 2). 8. The wave motives in each of the above figures are repeatedly operated by successive waves to generate power. Float buoyancy aids (FIGS. 10, 11, 12, and 13) increase the floating of the float by waves, a number of which are described below.

“2” is to push the lever stick with a weight to lift the buoyancy when the float floats down. “FIG. 13” is the same as “FIG. 12”, and many other designs can be made, such as the weight being lowered from below the float and being pushed up. As a result, the efficiency of power generation and the like is improved. The float has an arc-shaped wave receiver that is concave toward the center.
