APPARATUS USING WAVE POWER TO GENERATE ELECTRICITY

摘要

The present invention relates to an apparatus using wave power to generate electricity, wherein the apparatus comprises a power transfer means and an electricity-generating means. The power transfer means comprises: an outer frame installed in the ocean; buoyant bodies filled with water and supported by the outer frame so as to be moved up and down by waves while floating in the ocean; a rack installed on a top surface of the buoyant body to move up and down together with the buoyant body, and having a first and second gear formed at either side thereof; a first and second one-way pinion gear engaged with the first and second gears of the rack so as to rotate according to the linear movement of the rack; a first rotating shaft installed so as to pass through the first one-way pinion gear, to receive power and rotate only when the first one-way pinion gear rotates clockwise due to the rack being moved upward via a first unidirectional bearing installed within the first one-way pinion gear; and a second rotating shaft installed to pass through the second one-way pinion gear, to receive power and rotate only when the second one-way pinion gear rotates clockwise due to the rack being moved downward via a second unidirectional bearing installed within the second one-way pinion gear. The electricity-generating means receives rotational force from the first and second rotating shafts of the power transfer means in order to generate electricity.
