DEVICE FOR CONVERTING WAVE ENERGY INTO ELECTRICAL ENERGY Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC F03B13/14 E02B9/00 

FIELD: hydraulic engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to hydrotechnical structures, in particular, to device for wave energy conversion to electric energy. Proposed device comprises ramp with five guides 2 and working element arranged to move along ramp. Device includes two converting circuits 6. Working element is connected with five carriages installed on guides 2. Two carriages are installed on extreme guides 2 and connected to one ends of two first drive belts 4, other two carriages are installed on guides 2 adjacent to extreme guides, and two ends of second drive belts 4 are connected to one ends. Fifth carriage is installed on middle guide 2. On the ramp side, the working member is connected to each of the first and second carriages by means of a rod connected by one end with the working element and by the other end with the corresponding carriage. Working element is hingedly connected with the fifth carriage. Each circuit 6 includes drive shaft 12, mechanisms for winding up 8 tapes 4 connected to shaft 12, device for changing torque 9, which input shaft is kinematically connected to shaft 12, and output shaft – to generator 11. On shaft 12, there are two traction drums 18, 19, on which by other ends first and second bands 4 are fixed.

EFFECT: invention is aimed at improvement of working element properties on irregular disturbance.
