Abstract:
The present utility model patent relates to a wave power generation device having an automatic anchor chain adjustment apparatus. The present invention aims to provide a wave power generation device of low construction cost. The technical solution thereof comprises: an auxiliary body system, a working floating body, a gravity anchor, an automated anchor chain regulation apparatus, and a power generation system. The auxiliary body system 1 is pulled into water by the gravity anchor 3, and when the buoyancy and the pull from the anchor chain reaches a balance, the auxiliary body system 1 remains stationary in the water and does not move upward or downward along the wave. The power generation system 5 disposed on the auxiliary body system 1 generates electricity due to the movement of a gear rack or of a hydraulic valve of the auxiliary system along the working floating body. The automated anchor chain regulation apparatus 4 adjusts the length of the anchor chain according to the changes in tides, and hence always keeps the floating body of the auxiliary body system 1 at a point below the water surface and at an almost constant distance from the water surface, thereby ensuring that the working floating body 2 move within a certain fixed range in a frame. The present invention has a low construction cost, is simple to manufacture, easy to install, and convenient to maintain, and is of relatively high commercial value.
