A power generating device using the impact forces of sea waves comprising: a fixed support having support rods, the bottoms of which are fixed to a shallow sea bed; a movable bearer slidably mounted on the fixed support with a square type horn port provided at the front end face and a protion of the upper face; a blade type water wheel located at an outlet connected to the square type horn port of said movable bearer; two pressure cylinders, used to generate high pressure air, operated by connecting rods eccentrically mounted to the blade type water wheel; a storage cylinder for storing high pressure air compressed by said pressure cylinders; braking means provided at each side of the movable bearer to slow any sudden movement of the entire movable bearer in a vertical direction; several floating bodies mounted at the bottom of the movable bearer; characterized in that: the fixed support has toothed strips mounted vertically at both sides, with dovetail strips connected to the rear of the toothed strips; the movable bearer has dovetail channel rods corresponding to and slidably matching the dovetail strips on the fixed support; the square type horn port has a water channel connected thereto for guiding sea water to the water wheel; the blade type water wheel has a shaft rotatably connected to the movable bearer by a bearing and a seat, a round disk attached to both ends of the shaft, the disks having a pin eccentrically inserted at an external portion thereof, said pin being pivotally connected to one end of a connecting rod, the other end of the connecting rod being pivotally connected to a piston rod of the pressure cylinder; each braking means consists of a gear engaging the toothed strip on the fixed support, a braking disk attached to the gear, and a braking rod, one end of the rod being adjacent to the braking disc for applying a retarding force, the other end being connected to and movable by a line attached to a weight in a guide cylinder; the floating bodies mounted at the bottom of the movable bearer maintain the bearer on the water surface enabling the horn port to accept the impact of the sea waves thus turning the water wheel and operating the pressure cylinders to generate high pressure air to be used in a power or electric generating device.

A power generating device using the impact forces of sea waves comprising: a fixed support having support rods, the bottoms of which are fixed to a shallow sea bed; a movable bearer slidably mounted on the fixed support with a square type horn port provided at the front end face and a protion of the upper face; a blade type water wheel located at an outlet connected to the square type horn port of said movable bearer; two pressure cylinders, used to generate high pressure air, operated by connecting rods eccentrically mounted to the blade type water wheel; a storage cylinder for storing high pressure air compressed by said pressure cylinders; braking means provided at each side of the movable bearer to slow any sudden movement of the entire movable bearer in a vertical direction; several floating bodies mounted at the bottom of the movable bearer; characterized in that: the fixed support has toothed strips mounted vertically at both sides, with dovetail strips connected to the rear of the toothed strips; the movable bearer has dovetail channel rods corresponding to and slidably matching the dovetail strips on the fixed support; the square type horn port has a water channel connected thereto for guiding sea water to the water wheel; the blade type water wheel has a shaft rotatably connected to the movable bearer by a bearing and a seat, a round disk attached to both ends of the shaft, the disks having a pin eccentrically inserted at an external portion thereof, said pin being pivotally connected to one end of a connecting rod, the other end of the connecting rod being pivotally connected to a piston rod of the pressure cylinder; each braking means consists of a gear engaging the toothed strip on the fixed support, a braking disk attached to the gear, and a braking rod, one end of the rod being adjacent to the braking disc for applying a retarding force, the other end being connected to and movable by a line attached to a weight in a guide cylinder; the floating bodies mounted at the bottom of the movable bearer maintain the bearer on the water surface enabling the horn port to accept the impact of the sea waves thus turning the water wheel and operating the pressure cylinders to generate high pressure air to be used in a power or electric generating device.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
A sea wave impacted power generating device as in claim 1 wherein the ports at the front face and the upper face each have a water channel arranged parallelly at different heights.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
102 words
A sea wave impacted power generating device as in claim 1 wherein the braking rod is directly beneath the braking disk and is pivotally mounted on a branch pin fixed on the movable bearer, said branch pin having a torsion spring associated therewith so as to maintain a constant distance between the braking rod and the braking disk until a sudden movement of the movable bearer in a vertical direction activates the braking rod, by means of gravity acting on the weight, enabling the braking rod to contact the braking disk and slow the movement of the gear on the toothed strip.
