BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

1. Field of Invention

The present invention relates to an energy converting device, and more particularly to an ocean wave energy converting device.

2. Description of the Related Art

Currently, the conventional technologies for converting nature resource for generating electricity are nuclear power and thermal power. Nuclear power generation is the use of heavy nuclear fuel (ie U-233, U-235 and Pu-239) in the nuclear reactor to split the heat generated during the chain reaction, and then use the heat to directly generate steam or lead to a heat exchanger to generate steam, to convert heat energy into electrical energy. However, the cost of the heavy nuclear tends to rise, also the cost of building nuclear power generation plants is quite high, causing many developmental country unable to build power plants. When the nuclear power is used to generate electricity, there are two serious problems: one is the accumulation and disposal of nuclear waste, and the other is the impact on the surrounding environment. Thermal power generation is mainly based on burning coal, petroleum and other fuels to produce water steam to generate electricity. Using coal as the energy source for thermal power generation is very easy to cause the emission of air pollutants such as dust, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides (NOX) and carbon dioxide and waste water and the like. Therefore, good environmental protection measures are required to prevent air pollution. In summary, nuclear power and thermal power generation have serious problems such as radioactive waste, air pollution, greenhouse effect, resource shortage crisis, serious impact on the ecological environment, and water pollution.

Therefore, it is desirable to provide an wave energy converting device to mitigate and/or obviate the aforementioned problems.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An objective of present invention is to provide a wave energy converting device.

To achieve these and other objects of the present invention, A wave energy converting device has a driving unit, a gearing unit, an operating unit, a transmission unit and an energy converting device. The fluctuation potential generated by the ocean waves drives the floating member of the driving unit to move up and down, and then the fluctuation potential energy is converted into a rotational kinetic energy through the gearing unit, the operating unit and the transmission unit, which is then used for power generation and the unit is driven to change between the first and second operating gear with the increase and decrease of the potential energy of the waves, so that the transmitting shaft can generate energy through the rotation of the first transmitting gear and the second transmitting gear.

Other objects, advantages, and novel features of invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
