Wave-making and power-generating system

摘要

A wave-making and power-generating system uses a motor reducer to move a wave-making drum up and down in a water reservoir via a rocker arm, causing a float to rotate a power generator for generating electricity by a transmission mechanism via an inertial wheel set. A small amount of electricity can move the wave-making drum to drive the power generator to generate electricity. Multiple floats can be used with a respective transmission mechanism and a respective inertial wheel set to drive one power generator.

1. A wave-making and power-generating system, comprising:
a support frame having a bottom side thereof affixed to the floor or a suitable location of a building and a top side thereof provided with a pivot member; a rocker arm pivotally supported with the center thereof on the pivot member of said support frame, said rocker arm comprising coupling means located in an eccentric position; at least one water reservoir arranged around said support frame and respectively holding a predetermined amount of water, each said water reservoir comprising a first support bar and a second support bar fixedly mounted at an outer side of one sidewall thereof in a parallel manner, said second support bar comprising an extension portion; at least one wave-making drum floating on the water in said at least one water reservoir and movable up and down by said rocker arm to oscillate the water in said water reservoir in making waves, each said wave-making drum comprising a handle located at a top side thereof and coupled to said rocker arm; a motor reducer comprising an eccentric wheel located at a distal end of an output shaft thereof and coupled to said coupling means of said rocker arm for turning said rocker arm alternatively back and forth relative to said support frame; a follower gear pivotally supported on the extension portion of the second support bar of one said water reservoir; at least one float respectively floating on the water in said at least one water reservoir; a first link and a second link pivotally coupled between the first support bar and second support bar at each said water reservoir and two opposite lateral sides of one respective said float; a first gear wheel and a second gear wheel respectively pivotally coupled to the pivoted area between said first link and said first support bar and the pivoted area between said second link and said second the support bar by a respective pivot, said second gear wheel being meshed with said follower gear; at least one transmission mechanism, each said transmission mechanism comprising a driven shaft, a first one-way ball-bearing ratchet wheel mounted on said driven shaft and meshed with said first gear wheel, a second one-way ball-bearing ratchet wheel mounted on said driven shaft and meshed with said follower gear; and a power generator coupled to each said transmission mechanism and rotatable by each said transmission mechanism to generate electricity.
