PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a wave force energy converter having a simple and efficient conversion mechanism and the function of considerably mitigating the wave force in abnormal waves, and reducing the life cycle cost until the transfer or withdrawal of the converter. SOLUTION: A floating type pressure-bearing plate 3 having a hollow float 7 movable in the vertical direction is disposed on a guide frame 11. The float 7 is moved in the vertical direction according to the wave condition, water is poured in the float 7, and the wave force on the floating type pressure-bearing plate 3 is adjusted. The guide frame 11 easily performs the transfer or withdrawal by a crane or the like via a suspension tool 5 provided on an upper end thereof. The floating type pressure-bearing plate 3 performs the oscillating motion with a passive shaft 17 as the axis, and the passive shaft 17 performs the reciprocal rotational motion. A revolving double ratchet mechanism 15 transmits the reciprocal rotational motion of the passive shaft 17 to a power- generating shaft 19 as the rotational motion in one direction.
