Description

The field of technology

The present invention belongs to devices for converting wave energy, more specifically - to devices that convert wave potential into electrical energy.

Technical level

In recent decades, sustainable energy has become an important issue. Renewable energy that can be obtained from the natural environment and efficiently converted into electrical energy is called green energy. In particular, green energy can reduce dependence on fossil fuels and its consumption significantly reduces the negative impact on the environment. Therefore, the development of renewable energy is constantly progressing.

Sources of green energy can be divided into the following: solar energy, which is collected with the help of solar batteries and converted into electrical energy; wind energy, which uses wind turbines to produce electricity; tidal energy, which is a form of hydropower converted into electrical energy. Other sources of green energy are also used, for example, such as artificial photosynthesis.

However, the development and use of green energy sources should be more intensive and diverse. In particular, wave energy can be used more effectively by converting the potential energy of waves into electrical energy.

The present invention was created to reduce and/or eliminate the disadvantages of known wave energy conversion devices.

The essence of the invention

The main task of this invention is to create an improved device for converting wave energy.

To achieve this task, the device for converting wave energy contains: a platform that has a holding rack fixed at the bottom; first water supply means connected to the platform, and each first water supply means has a first water supply tube and a first side tube, one end of the first water supply tube is located under water, and the first side tube extends upwards from the side of the first water supply tube; second water supply means, connected to the platform, and every other

The water supply means has a second water supply tube and a second side tube, one end of the second water supply tube is located under water, and the second side tube extends downward from the side of the second water supply tube; a floating assembly having an upper plate, a lower plate and a connecting rod, the floating assembly being coupled to the platform for movement up and down relative to the platform, the upper plate having a series of first pistons extending downwardly therefrom and each inserted into a corresponding first side tube, the lower plate having a series of second pistons extending upwardly therefrom and each inserted into a corresponding second side tube, the upper plate having a series of cutouts arranged along the outer perimeter, adjacent cutouts being spaced apart from each other, and the first and second water supply devices are located in the corresponding cutouts; at the same time, when the floating assembly is connected to the buoy and moves up and down under the action of waves, water enters the first water supply tubes and the second water supply tubes and, under the action of the reciprocating movement of the first and second pistons, is pushed up and flows into the tank located above the platform .

At the same time, the connecting rod is placed on the support rack of the platform with the possibility of movement relative to it.

Moreover, the first water supply pipe and the second water supply pipe each contain two non-return valves located in them, and the first side pipe is connected to the first water supply pipe between two non-return valves of the first water supply pipe, the second side pipe is connected to the second water supply pipe between two non-return valves of the second water supply pipe.

In addition, the device contains support rails installed on the outer periphery of the first and second water supply tubes, and corresponding to the support rails on the side of the buoy, sliding elements are installed at a distance from each other, which ensure the ability of the buoy to slide relative to the support rails.

At the same time, a roller is installed in each sliding element, which is in contact with the corresponding support rail.

According to this design, when the body of the buoy moves under the action of waves, the floating assembly moves up and down, and water flows into the first water supply tubes and the second water supply tubes under the influence of the reciprocating movement of the first and second pistons, while the water flows up into the tank above the platform.

Other advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description with reference to the drawings.

Detailed description of the invention

As shown in fig. 1-2 and 5, the wave energy conversion device according to the present invention comprises a platform 1, a floating assembly 2, a first water supply means C and a second water supply means 4.

Platform 1 has a holding rack 11 fixed to the bottom. As shown in fig. 1 and 5, the holding rack 11 extends from the bottom of the platform 1 down and is fixed to the bottom. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the holding rack 11 is inserted into the seabed in such a way as to prevent the platform from being washed away by sea waves.

Fig. 3-4 show how the first water supply means C and the second water supply means 4 are connected to the platform 1. Each first water supply means 3 has a first water supply tube 31 and a first side tube 32. One end of the first water supply tube 31 is located under water. The first side tube 32 extends upwards from the side of the first water supply tube 31.

The second water supply means 4 is also mounted on the platform 1. Each second water supply means 4 has a second water supply tube 41 and a second side tube 42. One

The end of the second water supply pipe 41 is located under water. The second side tube 42 extends downward from the side of the second water supply tube 41.

The first water supply means and the second water supply means are arranged in a circle on the platform 1. One end of the first water supply pipes 31 and the second water supply pipes 41 are located under water. The first water supply pipe 31 and the second water supply pipe 41 both have two check valves 5 located therein. The first side pipe 32 is connected to the first water supply pipe 31 between the two valves 5 of the first water supply pipe 31. The second side pipe 42 is connected to the second water supply pipe 41 between the two valves 5 of the second water supply pipe 41. Therefore, when water enters the first water supply pipe 31 and the second water supply tube 41 from one end, the corresponding valves 5 are designed to prevent the backflow of water.

Fig. 1, 2 and 5 show that the floating assembly 2 has an upper plate 21, a lower plate 22 and a connecting rod 23. The rod 23 connects the upper plate 21 and the lower plate 22. A buoy body 24 is mounted around the upper plate 21. Floating assembly 2 is mounted on the platform 1 with the possibility of moving up and down relative to the platform 1. The upper plate 21 has a row of first pistons 211 extending downwardly from it. Each of the pistons 211 is inserted into a corresponding first side tube 32. The bottom plate 22 has a row of second pistons 221 extending upwards from it. Each of the second pistons 221 is inserted into a corresponding second side tube 42. The rod 23 is movably mounted on the holding post 11 so that the floating assembly 2 can move relative to the holding post 11. Therefore, when the buoy body 24 is driven by a wave, the upper plate 21, the lower the plate 22 and the rod 23 move and, respectively, control the first pistons 211 and the second pistons 221, reciprocating in the vertical direction.

The difference is that each first piston 211 is inserted into the corresponding first side tube 32 so as to displace water into the first water supply tube 31, and each second piston 221 is inserted into the corresponding second side tube 42 so as to displace water into the second water supply tube 41.

As shown in fig. 2, the upper plate 21 has a series of positioning cutouts 212 located around the outer periphery. Adjacent positioning cutouts 212 are separated from each other by a gap. The first water supply means C and the second water supply means 4 are located in the corresponding positioning cutouts 212 in such a way as to maintain the stability of the upper plate 21.

In addition, a number of support rails 25 are located on the outer periphery of the respective first water supply pipes 31 and the corresponding second water supply pipes 41. The support rails 25 are installed on the respective first water supply pipes 31 and second water supply pipes 41. As shown in Fig. 1 and 5, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, the first water supply tube 31 and the second water supply tube 41 have a cylindrical shape.

The body of the buoy 24 has a number of sliding elements 241 installed on one of its sides. Adjacent sliding elements 241 are separated from each other by gaps. The sliding members 241 interact with the support rails 25 so that the buoy body 24 can move relative to the support rails 25 with the help of the sliding members 241. In addition, each sliding member 241 has a sliding wheel 2411 that contacts the corresponding support rail 25 so that each sliding element 241 can easily move along the corresponding support rail 25.

Fig. 1, 5, 6, 7 show that when the buoy body 24 moves under the action of waves and the floating assembly 2 moves up and down, water enters the first water supply tube 31 and the second water supply tube 41 and under its pressure the first piston 211 and the second piston 221 perform reciprocating movements. Thus, water flows upward into a tank (not shown) above platform 1. The potential energy of the water in the tank can be converted into electrical energy or used for other applications. In the mechanism of the present invention described above, water flows upward through the first water supply means C and the second water supply means due to the movement of the floating assembly. In fig. b shows a device for converting wave energy at a low water level, and in fig. 7 shows a device for converting wave energy in conditions of high water level. Thus, the difference in water levels is converted into potential energy, which can be converted into electrical energy.
