as shown in FIG. 6, the invention utilizes the difference of electronegativity of two materials to generate friction electrification and electrostatic induction to generate alternating current, and when no external force is applied, rolling friction between the dielectric material ball 10 and the metal electrode can not occur to generate induced charge; under the action of external waves, for example, when waves push the basic power generation unit to move leftwards, the dielectric material ball 10 in the basic power generation unit correspondingly slides rightwards, and after the basic power generation unit is contacted and rubbed with the metal electrode for the first time, negative charges are generated on the dielectric material ball 10 due to the friction between the dielectric material ball and the metal electrode due to the difference of electrode sequences; when the dielectric material ball 10 rolls to the right, the dielectric material ball 10 will induce positive charges on the metal electrodes on the lower right side thereof, and at this time, current will be generated in the external circuit and flow from the left metal electrode to the right metal electrode of the electrode supporting plate 9; when the wave pushes the basic power generating unit to move to the right, the dielectric material ball 10 will slide to the left due to the force, positive charges will be generated on the surface of the metal electrode on the left side in the electrode plane below it, and then current will be generated in the external circuit and flow from the metal electrode on the right side to the metal electrode on the left side in the electrode plane, so that current with opposite direction is obtained.
According to the friction nanometer generator wave energy power generation unit capable of realizing same-phase electric energy output without a rectifier bridge, metal electrodes on the upper side and the lower side of each layer of electrode supporting plate 9 are controlled to be arranged in parallel in the same direction, then the electrode supporting plates 9 and the interlayer support 6 are fixed through hot melt adhesive, the same-phase output of each layer of basic power generation units stacked in parallel in the integrated power generation unit 12 is guaranteed, the output can be multiplied only by increasing the number of the power generation units connected in parallel without the rectifier bridge, the power is continuously supplied to electrical appliances carried in a buoy, and long-endurance self-powered ocean monitoring is realized.
As shown in figure 7, the weight module 4 is additionally arranged in the buoy, the buoy has a good floating posture by simulating the tumbler principle and by means of the height coincidence of the gravity center and the floating center of the overall buoy system, and can return to the right position in time after being swung under the action of waves, so that each integrated power generation unit 12 of the internal power supply module 3 can be excited to work under the action of waves every time, and the overall power generation efficiency is effectively improved.
The basic power generation unit designed by the invention can realize the same-phase electric energy output of the multiple power generation units only through mechanical fixation without a rectifier bridge, simplifies a connecting circuit, greatly improves the power output density, and realizes that the electric energy output can be effectively improved by adding the basic power generation unit. Due to the unique design of the basic power generation unit, the characteristic that the electric energy output can be increased in multiples by increasing the basic power generation unit without arranging. As shown in fig. 8, the linear motor is used to simulate the motion of sea waves on a test bench to drive the integrated power generating units 12, and the output current and the charge amount are measured by the electrometer, so that the output current increases gradually as the number of the integrated power generating units 12 connected in parallel increases from 1 to 7, and shows a trend of linear increase.
