WAVE FORCE POWER GENERATION DEVICE AND WAVE FORCE POWER GENERATION METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a wave force power generation device and a wave force power generation method for generating power under utilization of wave force energy of incoming waves at the sea-side and lake-side or the like.SOLUTION: This power generation device has a wave receiving plate 5 comprising a wave receiving plate main body 5a oscillated and turned within a specified inclination angle range while receiving incoming waves and a wave receiving plate supporter 5b fixed to the wave receiving plate main body. There are provided a lever 7 rotatably attached to the wave receiving plate supporter, a link 8 attached to the lever and a rack 9 arranged at the link. A wave force power generator is constituted by a power generator 14 having a one-way clutch 10 assembled into a pinion engaged with the rack and a rotating shaft. A counterweight 6 is fixed to the wave receiving plate supporter and a flywheel 16 is fixed to the power generator. When the rack moves forward, the one-way clutch is assembled to become a locked state to cause the power generator to rotate. When incoming waves come, power generation is carried out by the rotating force and in turn, when backwash goes, the rotating energy stored in the flywheel is utilized to generate power. In this way, stable power generation is carried out.
