Abstract

Generator of marine energy accumulation. It consists of one or more devices for capturing marine movement (1) which transmit said movement to one or more elements that can be pneumatic or hydraulic (2) as shown in the attached graphic. These elements send the fluid to a tank (7) in which it accumulates, increasing the pressure in any case of the gas (N) existing in the tank. In this way we obtain an energy accumulation that can then be used by moving a motor, either hydraulic or pneumatic (9). The return fluid returns to the suction tank (5). The rotational movement thus obtained can efficiently drive any electric machine or generator (10).

Description

Generator of marine energy accumulation.

The present invention relates to a generator of energy based on surface level variations Marina or its movement. These variations of level or movement marine are transmitted to elements that impede a fluid towards a deposit.

As it fills with fluid, it is pneumatic or Hydraulic gas contained in the tank is compressed rising the pressure of it accumulating in this way the energy intermittent received from the marine movement. Of this characteristic other construction and site advantages are derived, since it can constitute a platform located in high sea.

The energy thus accumulated can be used well either to move a hydraulic or pneumatic motor and is coupled to a alternator produces electric power which can be easily transported

Background of the invention

They are known generators that contemplate the Marine hydraulic exploitation, which have the disadvantage of the discontinuity of said energy.

To avoid this inconvenience, the owner of the European patent 766787 WORD ENERGY CORPORATION, has presented the next solution: two floats arranged in a line perpendicular to the waves transmit their movement to an axis which It has a steering wheel that he says is maintained at speed constant by automatic load control through a enough waveform range to understand about 70% of the waveforms that are expected statistically in the generator location

However we all know the unpredictable and "capricious" of wave behavior in any area maritime and on the other hand it is shown that the characteristics of the generator described in the aforementioned document are possible to improve with the new generator designed, whose characteristics are object of the present invention.

Description of the invention

Generator of marine energy accumulation that It consists of one or several movement pick-up devices sailor of any direction and transmit this movement to about cylinders or hydraulic or pneumatic.

The hydraulic or pneumatic fluid is filling a tank causing a rise in the pressure of the gas it occupies partially said deposit. This process constitutes an effect of energy accumulation whatever the intermittency and magnitude of the incident energy. In an optional embodiment the sensors it can be one or several turbines which will send a fluid hydraulic to the accumulator tank. Through valves regulators a constant flow is obtained at a lower pressure the which feeds a hydraulic motor.

Subsequently this hydraulic motor can operate an electric machine or generator for easy transport of this energy

Subsequently this hydraulic motor can operate an electric machine or generator for easy transport of this energy

Brief description of the drawing

For the best understanding of how much is left described herein, is accompanied by a drawing in the that, as an example, a practical case of realization of the marine power generator.

In said drawing figure 1 shows an elevation of the support platform anchored on the seabed, also the motion pickup element appears in elevation. About this platform are schematically represented the rest of the constituent elements of the generator.

Description of a preferred embodiment

A float (1) or several in parallel is in the sea surface (12), the level oscillations of the surface are transmitted by the float to a cylinder hydraulic. A fluid is conducted from the cylinder or cylinders to through the valve or unidirectional valves (3) to the tank (7), which constitutes an accumulator because being full of dry air or an inert gas, will increase in pressure as it goes reaching hydraulic fluid until the pressure is reached pre-established in the regulating valve (6). TO from here the generator can now deliver hydraulic power and 100% continuous through the pressure regulating valve to the hydraulic motor (9) which is coupled to a generator electric (10) for easy transport and use of this Energy.

The tank (4) is return or aspiration as well as a balance between energy delivered and absorbed thanks to its hydraulic interconnection through (6) and (8). To the be a closed circuit, this function allows once reached the set pressure the excess flow received in the tank (7) go to the deposit (4). In both tanks the hydraulic fluid (5) is represented by strokes and the gas (N) is blank.

The whole set of elements is mounted on the platform (11) firmly anchored in the ground.

Another noteworthy aspect is that said generator It can be located in any maritime area away from the coast.

Claims (3)

1. Generator of marine energy of accumulation, which is equipped with some elements (1) of the movement of sea water, whether waves or level variations (12), housed under a maritime platform (11) that can be located in the coast or away from it, characterized essentially by the effect of accumulation of potential energy achieved by the elevation of pressure of a gas (N) in the tank (7) to a certain value to be then converted into kinetic energy when the fluid is impelled existing in the tank (7) at a lower but adequate pressure achieved by the valve (8). 2. Marine accumulator energy generator according to claim 1, characterized in that the fluid used by the element (2) for the lifting of pressure in the tank (7) can be hydraulic or pneumatic. 3. Marine accumulation energy generator according to claim 1, characterized by its efficiency achieved through the conjunction of the accumulation tank (7), the valve system (6) and (8) and the suction tank (4 ), all of which allow maintaining adequate pressures in both deposits regardless of the point energy received and the energy demanded in (9).
