The present invention relates to a wave energy generator which is designed in order to convert wave energy occurring in sea into electric energy. Background of the Invention
Renewable energy sources are energies which are obtained from flow of energy existing in continuously ongoing natural processes. These sources can be classified as sunshine, wind, flowing water (hydro power), biological processes, wave energy and geothermal energy. In the most general sense, renewable energy sources are defined by the fact that they can renew themselves at an equal rate to an energy received from an energy source or in a way quicker than depletion rate of the source. Wave energy is directly obtained from wave surface or wave pressures under the surface. Waves are generated through winds blowing on surfaces of seas or oceans. In many parts of the world, winds blow regularly and continuously such that they can create continuous wave. There is significant energy in sea and ocean waves. Wave energy machines generate energy directly from surface movements of waves or wave pressures. A variety of technologies have been projected in order to use wave energy. Wave energy technologies are designed so as to be installed on-shore, near-shore and off-shore. Systems to be installed near-shore are placed to the depth of water preferably more than forty meters.

The wave energy generator (1 ) providing regular energy transfer even when waves occur in random and different sizes comprises essentially:
- at least one floating object (2) which moves upwards/downwards by means of buoyancy of water;
- at least one connection member (3) which is located on both sides of the floating object (2);
- at least one rotating member (4) where the connection member (3) is wound and which rotates in both directions around its own axis when the floating object (2) moves upwards/downwards by means of buoyancy of water; at least one main shaft (5) which is located at the center of the rotating member (4) and enables the rotating member (4) to remain stable where it is positioned;
- at least one weight (6) which is connected to the other end of the connection member (3) where the floating object (2) is not connected, and moves downwards when the floating object (2) moves upwards and moves upwards when the floating object (2) moves downwards;
- at least one parallel transfer system (7) which transfers motion when the main shaft (5) rotates in one direction;
- at least one first member (7.1 ) which is located in the parallel transfer system (7) and mounted to the main shaft (5), moves when the main shaft (5) rotates only in one direction;
- at least one transfer member (7.2) which is located around the first member (7.1) and transfers the rotation force occurring in the first member (7.1 );
at least one second member (7.3) which is subjected to the force occurring in the first member (7.1) and transferred by means of the transfer member (7.2);
- at least one transfer shaft (8) which is located at the center of the second member (7.3) and rotates in the same and one direction continuously;
at least one gear transfer system (9) which ensures that rotation is transferred to the transfer shaft (8) in a direction of rotation when the main shaft (5) cannot operate the parallel transfer system (7);
- at least one first gear (9.1) which is located in the gear transfer system (9) and mounted to the main shaft (5);
at least one second gear (9.2) which is located in the gear transfer system (9) and rotates in a direction opposite to the first gear (9.1), also placed to the transfer shaft (8);
- at least one fixing connection (10) which prevents the floating object (2) from moving horizontally;
- at least one connector (1 1) which enables the floating object (2) to move within the limits where it is positioned; - at least one joint (12) which is composed between the fixing connection (10) and the connector (1 1) and created in order that the floating object (2) can easily move in a vertical way when there is wave . In one embodiment of the invention, there is a floating object (2) in the wave energy generator (1 ) which provides regular energy transfer even when waves occur in random and different sizes. The floating object (2) can move within the limits where it is positioned on the water surface such that a part of it is submerged. It is ensured by means of the connector (1 1 ) that the floating object (2) cannot move from where it is positioned. The floating object (2) is located on one end of the connector (1 1) while the fixing connection ( 10) is located on the other end thereof. In addition, there are connection members (3) on both sides of the floating object (2) and the weights (6) are located on the other end of these connection members (3). The connection member (3) enabling interconnection of the floating object (2) and the weight (6) is preferably hung to two rotating members (4) located in the main shaft (5). The rotating member (4) rotates in one direction when the floating object (2) moves upwards, and it forwards the weight (6) in a direction opposite to the direction where the floating object (2) moves. The main shaft (5) is located at the center of the rotating member (4). Because the main shaft (5) and the rotating member (4) are completely interconnected, the rotating member (4) and the main shaft (5) rotate in the same direction and with the same angular velocity. Two separate systems, namely the parallel transfer system (7) and the gear transfer system (9), connected to the main shaft (5) in the wave energy generator (1) are used in order to ensure that the downwards and upwards movement of the floating object (2) is converted into rotational energy. Among these systems, a first member (7.1) is located in the parallel transfer system (7). The first member (7.1 ) rotates in the same angular velocity together with the main shaft (5) when the main shaft (5) rotates in one direction, but it does not provide any rotation when the main shaft (5) rotates in the other direction. When the first member (7.1) rotates, there is a transfer member (7.2) transferring this rotation around the first member (7.1). The movement of rotation occurring in the first member (7.1) is transferred to the second member (7.3) located in the transfer shaft (8), by means of this transfer member (7.2). The second member (7.3) rotates the transfer shaft (8), which is located at its center, by the rotational power that it receives from the first member (7.1 ) when the first member (7.1) rotates. When the main shaft (5) rotates in the direction where it does not activate the parallel transfer system (7), in other words when the parallel transfer system (7) cannot rotate the transfer shaft (8), the transfer shaft (8) is rotated by means of the gear transfer system (9). In the gear transfer system (9), there is a first gear (9.1) which is mounted to the main shaft (5) and a second gear (9.2) which is mounted to the transfer shaft (8). The first gear (9.1) rotates in the same angular velocity with the main shaft (5) and the second gear (9.2) rotates in the same angular velocity with the transfer shaft (8). The first gear (9.1 ) rotates when the main shaft (5) rotates in one direction however it does not rotate when the main shaft (5) rotates in the other direction. In this case, the parallel transfer system (7) operates when the main shaft (5) rotates in one direction while the gear transfer system (9) operates when it rotates in another direction. However, the transfer shaft (8) rotates in a same and single direction either the parallel transfer system (7) operates or the gear transfer system (9) operates. There is a joint (12) among the fixing connection ( 10) and the connector (1 1). Due to the fact that the joint (12) is composed here, it is ensured that the floating object (2) moves together with wave in a vertical way easily.
Operation of the wave energy generator ( 1) is carried out as follows: When wave energy reaches the floating object (2), a certain volume of which is in a float position, it moves the floating object (2) upwards in a certain distance. As a result of this movement, the weight (6) moves downwards. The said movement forces the rotating member (4) and thus the main shaft (5) to rotate in a direction. The main shaft (5) rotates in this way. The first member (7.1) connected to the main shaft (5) transfers power to the transfer shaft (8) if the main shaft (5) rotates in the operation direction of the parallel transfer system (7) and the power is transferred to the transfer shaft (8) by means of the first gear (9.1) connected to the main shaft (5) if it rotates in the operation direction of the gear transfer system (9). This power transferred to the transfer shaft (8) is transmitted to an energy generator such as generator or a water pump, in case of preference, and thus it is ensured that the power generated here is used. Also, a plurality of wave energy generators (1) can be used on the condition that the transfer shaft (8) is same. Thus, continuous power transfer can be provided to mechanical equipments such as generator, water pump that are added to one side of the transfer shaft (8).
Operation process of the wave energy generator (1 ) is carried out, as an illustration, as follows: Given that the rotating member (4) and thus the main shaft (5) rotate in clockwise direction in the event of upwards movement of the floating object (2), the first member (7.1 ) will rotate in the same angular velocity with the main shaft (5) and it will transfer the power to the second member (7.3) by means of the transfer member (7.2). In this case, the second member (7.3) will transfer this power to the transfer shaft (8) with which it rotates in the same angular velocity and it will enable the transfer shaft (8) to rotate in clockwise direction as well. However when the main shaft (5) rotates in clockwise direction, in other words the first member (7.1) rotates together with the main shaft (5), the first gear (9.1) does not rotate together with the main shaft (5). In this case, no power transfer is carried out from the gear transfer system (9) in this rotation direction. Given that the rotating member (4) and thus the main shaft (5) rotate in counterclockwise direction when the floating object (2) moves downwards, the first gear
(9.1) will rotate in the same angular velocity with the main shaft (5) and power transfer will be transferred from the first gear (9.1 ) to the second gear (9.2) and to the transfer shaft (8), which rotates in the same angular velocity with second gear
(9.2) , from here. In this case, the first member (7.1) will not rotate in an angular velocity same with the main shaft (5). Thus, power transfer will be carried out only over the gear transfer system (9) in a rotation to this direction. The most important point here is that the transfer shaft (8) is rotated in the same direction no matter in which direction the main shaft (5) is rotated. An energy generator such as generator or a water pump can be connected to this transfer shaft (8) rotating always in the same direction and thus operation is carried out. Besides, a plurality of wave energy generators (1) can be connected to this transfer shaft (8) and thus continuous rotation of the transfer shaft (8) is ensured.
