Descrizione Description

La presente invenzione riguarda una struttura a pale, atta a produrre energia elettrica, mediante lo sfruttamento del moto ondoso del mare, utilizzando l?energia prodotta dalle onde del mare, nel loro moto di avanzata verso la costa, questo come fonte primaria di energia per il suo funzionamento, essa sara collocata in mare, nei pressi della riva o adiacente a questa, in luoghi preferibilmente tempestosi e battuti da vento, essa sar? installata su un numero di quattro o pi? piloni di sostegno in cemento armato o altri materiali, questi saranno fissati al suolo mediante blocchi di ancoraggio anche questi in cemento armato o altro, nella parte alta dei piloni saranno posizionati dei pistoni idraulici, comandati esternamente, con lo scopo di fare abbassare ed alzare la struttura a pale, per consentire alle pale un giusto pescaggio delle onde del mare sottostanti, nel loro moto di avanzata verso la costa, questo sia quando il mare ? molto agitato, che quando lo ? di meno, ottenendo cos? un migliore utilizzo della struttura oggetto dell?invenzione, nonch? salvaguardare l?intera struttura da eccezionali calamit? naturali ogni singolo pistone ne The present invention relates to a paddle structure, suitable for producing electricity, by exploiting the wave motion of the sea, using the energy produced by the waves of the sea, in their advance towards the coast, this as a primary source of energy for its functioning, it will be located in the sea, near the shore or adjacent to this, in places preferably stormy and windy, it will be? installed on a number of four or more? support pylons in reinforced concrete or other materials, these will be fixed to the ground by anchoring blocks, also in reinforced concrete or other, in the upper part of the pylons, hydraulic pistons will be positioned, externally controlled, with the aim of lowering and raising the paddle structure, to allow the paddles a correct draft of the underlying sea waves, in their motion of advance towards the coast, this is when the sea? very agitated, that when it? less, obtaining cos? a better use of the structure object of the invention, as well as? safeguard the entire structure from exceptional calamities natural every single piston

alta di esso, saranno collocate delle corone dentate queste a loro volta saranno collegate a duo o pi? alberi di trasmissione del moto, a seconda del numero delle corone impiegate, e questi a loro volta co 1legheranno trasversalmente le altre corone, da una parte all?altra della struttura, in modo che tutta la struttura diventi un unico corpo in senso longitudinale le corone saranno collegate da due catene una da un lato ed una dall?altro, queste ultime, scorrendo su appositi cuscinetti dentro a dei binari guida, situati intorno alle corone, in modo da ottenere un migliore scorrimento delle catene, con le relative pale agganciate, durante il moto di rotazione intorno alla struttura che queste faranno, causato dalla forza delle onde, alle catene saranno collegate delle pale di forma concava o di altra forma, queste avranno un punto che far? snodare le pale, e chiuderle durante la percorrenza del tratto superiore della struttura fuori dall?acqua, in modo da ridurre la resistenza al vento delle stesse, finita la citata corsa, le pale nel cadere nuovamente in acqua si apriranno automaticamente per lo snodo prima citato, e quindi verranno agganciate nuovamente da altre onde in arrivo, ripetendo cos? il ciclo di rotazione nel tempo. Si fa inoltre presente che le pale si potranno fare aprire e chiudere meccanicamente con comandi esterni, alle altre due estremit? delle pale immerse nell?acqua saranno applicati dei cuscinetti, in modo che scorrendo su apposite guide eviteranno logorio e attrito alle stesse durante la percorrenza del tratto superiore della struttura. high of it, will be placed of the toothed crowns these in turn will be connected to two or more? motion transmission shafts, depending on the number of crowns used, and these in turn will connect the other crowns transversely, from one part of the structure to the other, so that the whole structure becomes a single body in the longitudinal direction. will be connected by two chains, one on one side and one on the other, the latter sliding on special bearings inside guide rails, located around the crowns, in order to obtain a better sliding of the chains, with the relative hooked blades, during the motion of rotation around the structure that these will make, caused by the force of the waves, concave or other shaped blades will be connected to the chains, these will have a point what to do? articulate the blades, and close them during the travel of the upper section of the structure out of the water, in order to reduce the wind resistance of the same, at the end of the aforementioned stroke, the blades when falling back into the water will automatically open for the aforementioned joint , and then they will be hooked again by other incoming waves, repeating cos? the rotation cycle over time. It should also be noted that the blades can be opened and closed mechanically with external commands, at the other two ends? of the blades immersed in water, bearings will be applied, so that by sliding on special guides they will avoid wear and friction during the travel of the upper section of the structure.

Ora spieghiamo qui di seguito in sintesi il funzionamento della struttura secondo l?invenzione medesima: Le pale aperte della struttura posizionate in acqua, verranno agganciate e spinte dalle onde del mare nel loro moto di avanzata verso la costa, quindi queste inizieranno un moto circolare intorno alla struttura, queste a loro volta, mediante le catene a cui sono collegate, metteranno in movimento le corone dentate, che a loro volta queste, mediante gli alberi di trasmissione del moto a cui sono collegate, tramite opportuni ingranaggi, metteranno in rotazione dei moltiplicatori di velocit?, ed a questi ultimi saranno collegati dei generatori atti a produrre energia elettrica, ottenendo cos? un continuo ciclo di produzione di energia dalla struttura oggetto dell?invenzione medesima. Now we explain briefly below the operation of the structure according to the same invention: The open blades of the structure positioned in the water, will be hooked and pushed by the waves of the sea in their motion of advance towards the coast, then these will begin a circular motion around to the structure, these in turn, by means of the chains to which they are connected, will set the toothed crowns in motion, which in turn, by means of the motion transmission shafts to which they are connected, by means of suitable gears, will rotate the multipliers of speed, and to the latter will be connected generators capable of producing electricity, thus obtaining? a continuous cycle of energy production from the structure object of the invention itself.
