Title:
POWER GENERATOR USING WAVE POWER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/076962
Kind Code:
A2
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a power generator using wave power. More specifically, the power generator includes: a rotating pin which is installed with buoyancy bottles and weights on both sides thereof; and a rotation gear which transforms potential energy caused by dropping of the weights and wave power caused by waves into torque. Accordingly, a generator can be rotated with improved generating output. Also, the buoyancy bottles have minimized weight to reduce the loss of wave power as the buoyancy bottles rise. The power generator of the present invention includes an amplifying unit which amplifies the rotation angle of the rotation gear which is installed between the buoyancy bottles and the rotation gear and rotates with the buoyancy bottles. Thereby, even if a small wave causes the moving range of the buoyancy bottle to be small, the amplifying unit amplifies the amount of rotation of the rotation gear to provide high efficiency in generating output. The power generator using wave power of the present invention comprises: a first support frame (101) which is placed on the sea; a first buoyancy device (110) which is installed on the first support frame (101) using a rotation pin (113) and allows rotation thereof, wherein a first buoyancy bottle (111) is installed on one side of the first buoyancy device and a first weight (112) is installed on the other side of the first buoyancy device with respect to the rotation pin (113); a rotation gear (180) which is positioned on top of the first buoyancy device (110) and installed on the first support frame (101) and allows rotation thereof, wherein the rotation gear interlinks with the first buoyancy device (110) and rotates by progressing waves in order to transform the potential energy of the first weight (112) and the wave power into torque; and a generation unit which generates electricity using the torque of the rotation gear (180).
