Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a marine current power generating apparatus, and more particularly to a dynamic ocean current power generating apparatus equipped with at least one generator using a carrier. [Prior Art] There are four main types of energy known in ocean energy: Ocean Current, Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTC), Tidal Power, and Wave Power. Because of its rotation on the earth and the gravitational pull between the moon and the earth, these energies are inexhaustible and endless. According to the assessment, the energy provided by ocean currents is considerable. Geographically, the North Atlantic Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean are the areas where a large number of ocean currents pass, and the currents are strong. Therefore, the countries to which the two oceans belong are of considerable concern for the development of ocean currents. The marine power generation devices invented by various countries are thermoelectric power generation, tidal power generation, ocean wave power generation or power generation devices fixedly installed on the seabed. For example, the Japanese Patent No. JP2006291780 "Power Equipment installed in the seabed/bed bed", Taiwan Patent No. 200848611 "Static ocean current power generation device", etc., all of which are devices that are fixedly placed on the seabed to generate electricity. In general, the conventional power generating device used for ocean current power generation has the following problems: 1. Since the power generating device is placed on the seabed, if the depth of the seabed is too deep, construction under the sea may be difficult or impossible. 2. The position and direction of the current will change due to the climate and temperature difference. If it is fixed on the seabed, it cannot be maneuvered to adjust its angle with the direction of the current, which will affect the power generation. 3, static fixed power generation device, in order to overcome the above problems, it is necessary to set up a large number of 139146.doc 200933026 equipment. 4. In the event of a hurricane, earthquake or driftwood, the static fixed power generating device will not be able to dodge and damage the equipment. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a dynamic ocean current power generating apparatus and its carrier to solve the above problems. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a dynamic ocean current power generating apparatus including at least one generator, a carrier, at least a control cord, a fixed point, and at least one electric wire. The generator is used to receive current flow to generate electricity. The carrier has a © 彡-vertical position control device and at least a horizontal position control device for moving up and down and left and right in the sea, the generator being attached to the carrier. One end of the control cord is connected to the carrier. The fixed point is fixed to the shore or seabed. The other end of the control rope is connected to the fixed point. The wire is connected to the generator for transmitting the power generated by the generator. In a preferred embodiment, the carrier includes a main body, at least two side flaps, a vertical position control rudder and at least one horizontal position control rudder. The subject 0 has eight.卩, a rear end and two sides. The wings are located on the sides ' of the body and are perpendicular to the body. The vertical position control rudder is pivotally connected to the front end or the rear end of the body and is swingable up and down so that the carrier can move up and down in the sea. The horizontal position control rudder is pivotally coupled to the side flap and is swingable left and right so that the carrier can be moved left and right in the sea. In this way, the vehicle does not have to be limited by the difficulty of subsea construction, but can reduce the cost of "relocation." Furthermore, the vehicle can search for suitable sea/melon conditions via its equipped instruments, adjust its position and orientation to accommodate the current, and then increase the power generation efficiency. In addition, since the vehicle is movable, it can be dodged to avoid damage to the wind, earthquake or driftwood. When maintenance is required, the vehicle can be lifted up to sea level for easy maintenance. [Embodiment] Referring to Fig. 1, there is shown a schematic view of a first embodiment of a dynamic sea current power generating apparatus of the present invention.

The gyroscope is located within the control compartment 28 for detecting the left and right balance of the carrier 2. The flow tracker 29 is pivotally connected to the rear end portion 212 of the main body 21 and is swingable up and down to detect the refreshing angle of the carrier 2 and the current direction 6. Referring to Fig. 1 and Fig. 8 to Fig. 15, there is shown a schematic diagram of the operation of the first embodiment of the dynamic sea current power generating apparatus of the present invention. Referring to the figure, the generators 4 are attached to the carrier 2, and after the control ropes 51 are connected to the carriers 2, the carriers 2 are placed on the sea level 7. Referring to FIG. 8, next, the buoyancy control device of the main body 21 is activated to allow seawater to enter the hollow body 215 to reduce the buoyancy of the carrier 2, so that the carrier 2 sinks a small distance first. A portion of the lower portion of the carrier 2 is below sea level 7, and another portion of the carrier 2 is at sea level 7. Then, the first vertical position control rudder 23 is swung upward, and the second vertical position control rudder 24 is pressed downward (refer to FIG. 1 使) to cause the vehicle 2 to be depressed by the current flow and sink. A distance D. 139146.doc 200933026 This distance D is the location suitable for ocean current power generation. At this time, the carrier 2 must be adjusted in direction to face the current direction 6 in the front direction, as shown in Fig. 2, so that the generators 4 can all be driven by the ocean current to generate electric power. Since the direction or position of the current may change over time, it is necessary to adjust the vehicle 2 by means of the sonar flow meter 282, the vertical position control rudders 23, 24 and the horizontal position control rudder 25 The position is to squeezing the power generation efficiency of the generators 4. Referring to FIG. 9, when the sonar flowmeter 282 detects the position of the current, and needs to raise the position of the carrier 2, the ® f first vertical position control boat 23 is pressed down at this time, and the same The second vertical position controls the rudder 24 to swing upwards to move the carrier 2 upward. Referring to FIG. 10, when the sonar flowmeter 282 detects the position of the current and needs to lower the position of the carrier 2, the first vertical position control rudder 23 is swung up at this time, and the second vertical is The position control rudder is pressed downward to move the carrier 2 downward. Referring to the figure, the horizontal position control rudder 25 is swung to the left to move the carrier 2 to the right. Referring to the figure, the horizontal position control rudder 25 is swung to the right to move the carrier 2 to the left. Referring to FIG. 13 and FIG. 14 , when the gyroscopes detect that the vehicle 2 may be tilted or flipped due to left and right imbalance, the balance control rudder 26 is respectively oscillated up and down, so that the carrier 2 can be Maintain balance in the sea. Referring to Fig. 2, under normal circumstances, the section 2 of the carrier 2 is parallel to the current direction 6, and the flow direction is at an angle between the tracker 29 and the body of the carrier 2. It is 18 degrees. Referring to Fig. 15', if the ocean current changes direction: the upper stream 139146.doc 200933026, that is, the body 21 of the carrier 2 is no longer parallel with the current direction 6 and has an angle, which causes the flow direction to swing upward toward the tracker 29. The angle α between the body 21 of the carrier 2 is not equal to 18 degrees. At this time, the difference in the swing angles of the first vertical position control rudder 23 and the second vertical position control rudder 24 is adjusted so that the body 21 of the carrier 2 is kept parallel with the current direction 6. In addition, when a typhoon or an earthquake occurs, or there is a drifting wood or a large drifting object, the tension control device 33 can absorb the impact force of the carrier 2, so that the control rope 51 does not break. The vertical position control rudders 23, 24 and the horizontal position control rudders 25 are used to change the position of the carrier 2 to cause the carrier 2 to sink or float. An advantage of the present invention is that the carrier 2 is not necessarily limited to the ease of subsea construction, but can reduce installation costs. Moreover, the vehicle 2 can search for suitable current conditions via its equipped instrument (for example, the sonar flow meter 282), and adjust its position and orientation to suit the current, thereby improving power generation efficiency. Since the vehicle 2 is movable, it can be evaded for typhoons, earthquakes or drifting wood to avoid damage. When maintenance is required, the carrier 2 can be lifted to sea level 7 for easy maintenance. Preferably, when the load/, 2 is abnormal, the rudders 23, 24 are controlled by the four vertical positions of the carrier 2 (two first vertical position control rudders and two second vertical position control programs 24) ( Referring to FIG. 9), the flow of the carrier 2 is caused to generate a rising force and floats up to the sea level 7 as shown in FIG. 1 .
