ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
La piezoelectricidad es la propiedad que presentan ciertos materiales llamados piezoeléctricos. Dichos materiales generan una tensión eléctrica (voltaje) cuando son golpeados o deformados. Adicionalmente, cuando un material piezoeléctrico es expuesto a una tensión eléctrica, experimentará una deformación mecánica. Piezoelectricity is the property that certain materials called piezoelectric have. These materials generate an electrical voltage (voltage) when they are hit or deformed. Additionally, when a piezoelectric material is exposed to electrical stress, it will undergo mechanical deformation.
Ambos fenómenos se estimulan mutuamente, lo que significa que si se golpea o deforma un material con cualidades piezoeléctricas, dicha deformación provocará un voltaje que a su vez deformará el material, generando nuevamente una tensión eléctrica, y así sucesivamente. Esto se conoce como oscilación. Both phenomena stimulate each other, which means that if a material with piezoelectric qualities is struck or deformed, said deformation will cause a voltage that will in turn deform the material, generating an electrical voltage again, and so on. This is known as swing.
La piezoelectricidad encuentra varios usos especialmente en electrónica donde se la utiliza en micrófonos, parlantes, filtros cerámicos y estabilización de osciladores. El fenómeno piezoeléctrico fue descrito por primera vez por los hermanos Curie, quienes observaron que ciertos materiales pueden generar la corriente eléctrica cuando son deformados. Hoy en día los materiales piezoeléctricos tienen múltiples usos en la industria tanto como sensores y actuadores. Piezoelectricity finds several uses especially in electronics where it is used in microphones, speakers, ceramic filters and oscillator stabilization. The piezoelectric phenomenon was first described by the Curie brothers, who observed that certain materials can generate electric current when they are deformed. Today, piezoelectric materials have multiple uses in the industry as well as sensors and actuators.
En la actualidad se ha desarrollado una nueva generación de generadores piezoeléctricos con una asociación mecánico / eléctrico Ideal para cosechar la energía mecánica generada por los impactos. También se han desarrollado sistemas de almacenamiento muy eficientes para recoger y almacenar la electricidad producida por estos generadores. La energía almacenada puede ser utilizada para las necesidades de energía locales o enviados a la red. Currently, a new generation of piezoelectric generators has been developed with a mechanical / electrical association Ideal for harvesting the mechanical energy generated by impacts. Very efficient storage systems have also been developed to collect and store the electricity produced by these generators. Stored energy can be used for local energy needs or sent to the network.
Se maximiza la recuperación de la energía mecánica perdida para convertirla en energía eléctrica. Posteriormente, se almacena la energía con perdidas mínimas de energía. La energía también se produce en las proximidades de los usuarios finales. The recovery of lost mechanical energy is maximized to convert it into electrical energy. Subsequently, energy is stored with minimal energy losses. Energy is also produced in the vicinity of end users.
Para el aprovechamiento de Ja energía generada por las olas de mar, se han propuesto distintos sistemas que pueden incluir dispositivos con boyas o sistemas flotantes o anclados que oscilan verticalmente tras el movimiento de las olas del mar, con lo que convierten la energía de las olas mar en energía almacenabie. For the use of the energy generated by the sea waves, different systems have been proposed that may include devices with buoys or floating or anchored systems that oscillate vertically after the movement of the sea waves, thereby converting the energy of the waves Sea in energy storage.
Los sistemas flotantes por lo general utilizan la fuerza de gravedad, induciendo el empuje hacia arriba por las olas y la caída por cantiléver. En otros dispositivos, unidades estáticas convierten eí flujo horizontal de agua en electricidad. Floating systems usually use the force of gravity, inducing upward thrust by waves and falling by cantilever. In other devices, static units convert the horizontal flow of water into electricity.
Por lo tanto, cada dispositivo utiliza sólo una forma de energía de las olas. Se hicieron intentos para convertir la energía de las olas por medio del ascenso y caída de boyas en energía eléctrica que se genera por una fuerza de rotación de cog-ruedas para operar una bomba hidráulica. Las cog- ruedas están conectadas a los medios de las boyas y a una bomba hidráulica que libera un fluido a un acumulador que pasa el fluido hidráulico a la estación de producción de electricidad. Therefore, each device uses only one form of wave energy. Attempts were made to convert wave energy by means of the rise and fall of buoys into electrical energy that is generated by a cog-wheel rotation force to operate a hydraulic pump. The cogwheels are connected to the buoy means and to a hydraulic pump that releases a fluid to an accumulator that passes the hydraulic fluid to the electricity production station.
Una desventaja de tales dispositivos basados en medios de flotación, es que la cantidad de energía capturada por medio de la flotabilidad depende de la ubicación de las boyas en relación con el nivel de las mareas, que pueden variar por unos pocos metros dependiendo de la altura de la marea. A disadvantage of such devices based on flotation means is that the amount of energy captured by means of buoyancy depends on the location of the buoys in relation to the level of the tides, which can vary by a few meters depending on the height of the tide
Además, algunos dispositivos pueden incluir componentes para ser instalados en el fondo del mar. en la costa o en una plataforma y por lo tanto, resultan muy costosas de construir y mantener, limitándose por la profundidad del agua o diseñados solamente para ser instalados cerca de la orilla. In addition, some devices may include components to be installed at the bottom of the sea. on the coast or on a platform and therefore, they are very expensive to build and maintain, limited by the depth of the water or designed only to be installed near the shore.
Se han propuesto varias soluciones, incluyendo el uso de un transmisor conectado a computadoras para monitorear con precisión el movimiento de las unidades flotantes. Las soluciones propuestas tenían desventajas, incluyendo la necesidad de utilizar equipos eléctricos que es propenso a fallos de funcionamiento que pueden ser ineficientes o demasiado caros de instalar y operar. Dispositivos que se instalaron en altamar requieren equipos costosos para convertir la energía de ías olas y transmitirla a tierra firme. Con el fin de superar las desventajas planteadas, es necesario tener conocimientos amplios para convertir la energía de las olas mar en energía utiíizable como la electricidad, con las ventajas de la eficiencia y bajo precio. Además se deben combinar tecnologías disponibles y probadas que aprovechen al máximo la infraestructura que se coloque para que los costos de operación y mantenimiento sean menores y la generación de energía mayor. Several solutions have been proposed, including the use of a transmitter connected to computers to accurately monitor the movement of floating units. The proposed solutions had disadvantages, including the need to use electrical equipment that is prone to malfunctions that may be inefficient or too expensive to install and operate. Devices that were installed on the high seas require expensive equipment to convert the energy of the waves and transmit it to the mainland. In order to overcome the disadvantages, it is necessary to have extensive knowledge to convert the energy of sea waves into energy usable as electricity, with the advantages of efficiency and low price. In addition, available and proven technologies that make the most of the infrastructure must be combined that is placed so that the costs of operation and maintenance are lower and the generation of energy greater.

La figura 1 ilustra esquemáticamente tos componentes principales del sistema de conversión deí impacto de onda acuática por medios piezoeléctricos objeto de la invención y los componentes de su complemento consistente en un sistema de conversión de la onda por medios mecánicos e hidráulicos en energía eléctrica adicional. Para efectos de referencia, en adelante denominado simplemente como "El Sistema". Figure 1 schematically illustrates the main components of the conversion system of the water wave impact by piezoelectric means object of the invention and the components of its complement consisting of a system of conversion of the wave by mechanical and hydraulic means into additional electrical energy. For reference purposes, hereinafter referred to simply as "The System".
Debido a que EL SISTEMA está diseñado principalmente para aprovechar olas grandes, medianas y pequeñas que están presentes en el océano, el mar, ríos y grandes lagos, los elementos representados en el dibujo esquemático de la Figura 1 , están mostrados de manera elemental e intencionalmente fue ampliado con fines ilustrativos. Por ejemplo, el alto y el ancho del elemento estacionario, pueden variar dependiendo si EL SfSTEMA está instalado en afta mar o en fondo oceánico profundo. Because THE SYSTEM is primarily designed to take advantage of large, medium and small waves that are present in the ocean, the sea, rivers and large lakes, the elements depicted in the schematic drawing of Figure 1, are shown elementally and intentionally. It was expanded for illustrative purposes. For example, the height and width of the stationary element may vary depending on whether THE SYSTEM is installed on the sea or deep ocean floor.
El sistema mostrado en la Figura 1 puede cimentarse en la base de cualquier cuerpo de agua (2) ya sea marino, lacustre o rivereño; de acuerdo con las condiciones propias del lugar en donde se instalará, se puede colocar un pilote o cimentación superficial o profunda (1 ) y un dado de cimentación o anclaje de la estructura (3) mediante un sistema vertical de fijación o poste (4). "EL SISTEMA" está formado por un elemento estacionario asegurado al fondo del mar, río o lago (3) , ( 1 ) por medio de un sistema de cimentación preferentemente de concreto (3),The system shown in Figure 1 can be based on the base of any body of water (2), whether marine, lake or riverine; according to the conditions of the place where it will be installed, a shallow or deep pile or foundation (1) and a foundation or anchor die of the structure (3) can be placed by means of a vertical fixing system or post (4) . "THE SYSTEM" is formed by a stationary element secured to the bottom of the sea, river or lake (3), (1) by means of a foundation system preferably of concrete (3),
H IEL SISTEMA captura el impacto de la energía de las olas acuáticas a través de la pared frontal e inferior (8) del sistema flotante ó boya (9) que se encuentra flotando en el agua. Así mismo, para complementar la invención con mayor producción de energía eléctrica EL SISTEMA captura la energía de las otas a través de fa boya (9) que flota en el agua. La boya (9) se compone en una parte de los medios de flotabilidad (30) y colector de energía de las ondas de agua (26). La cavidad (31 ) contiene diversas cavidades o aperturas en las que se instalan los generadores piezoeléctricos. H IEL SYSTEM captures the impact of water wave energy through the front and bottom wall (8) of the floating system or buoy (9) that is floating in the water. Likewise, to complement the invention with greater production of electrical energy THE SYSTEM captures the energy of the otas through a buoy (9) that floats in the water. The buoy (9) is composed of a part of the buoyancy means (30) and water wave energy collector (26). The cavity (31) contains various cavities or openings in which the piezoelectric generators are installed.
La boya (9) está conectada al elemento estacionario (4) por medio del elemento de conexión (12) que puede ser tan simple como una barra de metal y la boya (9) puede instalarse con un solo conector (14) y un conector horizontal cerca del eje vertical del elemento estacionario de fijación (4). The buoy (9) is connected to the stationary element (4) by means of the connection element (12) which can be as simple as a metal bar and the buoy (9) can be installed with a single connector (14) and a connector horizontal near the vertical axis of the stationary fixing element (4).
La representación mostrada en la Figura 1 presenta una conexión más complicada la cual cuenta con al menos 2 brazos de apoyo y soportes armados (1 1) y (12); cada uno está conectado al elemento estacionario (4) y a la boyas (9). El Brazo de apoyo (12) está conectado al eje de elemento estacionario (4) por medio del perno (14) y a la boya (9) por medio del perno y sistema de acoplamiento (10). El Brazo de apoyo (1 1 ) está conectado al eje de elemento estacionario (4) por medio del perno (13) y a la boya (9) y boyas por medio del perno (7). Cada brazo de apoyo es importante colocarlo en una llanura vertical cerca del eje en el elemento estacionario (4) y la boya (9). The representation shown in Figure 1 presents a more complicated connection which has at least 2 support arms and armed supports (1 1) and (12); each one is connected to the stationary element (4) and to the buoys (9). The support arm (12) is connected to the stationary element shaft (4) by means of the bolt (14) and to the buoy (9) by means of the bolt and coupling system (10). The support arm (1 1) is connected to the stationary element axis (4) by means of the bolt (13) and to the buoy (9) and buoys by means of the bolt (7). Each support arm is important to place on a vertical plain near the axis in the stationary element (4) and the buoy (9).
La longitud de cada brazo de apoyo entre las bisagras, es igual a todas las armas de apoyo paralelas. De acuerdo con esto, siempre se define un paralelogramo por el eje de cada par de brazos de apoyo, como eje de (7), (10), (13) y (14). The length of each support arm between the hinges is equal to all parallel support arms. Accordingly, a parallelogram is always defined by the axis of each pair of support arms, as the axis of (7), (10), (13) and (14).
Es evidente de la descripción anterior, que si todos los brazos auxiliares como el (1 1 ) y (12) permiten el movimiento sin interrupciones, el eje de la boya (9), definido por ios pernos (7) y (10), permitirá a la boya (9) mantener siempre un movimiento circular ascendente y descendente, respectivamente. It is evident from the description above, that if all auxiliary arms such as (1 1) and (12) allow uninterrupted movement, the axis of the buoy (9), defined by the bolts (7) and (10), will allow the buoy (9) always maintain an upward and downward circular motion, respectively.
La boya (9) siempre tiene la libertad para moverse en un sentido circular, definido aproximadamente a medio camino entre bisagras (10) y (14) o parte de un círculo, en un plano vertical en relación con el elemento estacionario (4) y parte de la boya (9) que siempre se mantiene por encima para colectar la onda (26). La relación de la boya (9) y los brazos de soporte puede ser tal que se limite en parte el movimiento circular de los brazos de apoyo. Factores tales como resistencia estructural y la proporción entre la altura media de ola de mar y el radio del giro del círculo se deben tener en cuenta al diseñar EL SISTEMA. The buoy (9) always has the freedom to move in a circular direction, defined approximately halfway between hinges (10) and (14) or part of a circle, in a vertical plane in relation to the stationary element (4) and part of the buoy (9) that always stays above to collect the wave (26). The relationship of the buoy (9) and the support arms may be such that the circular movement of the support arms is partially limited. Factors such as structural strength and the ratio between the average height of the sea wave and the radius of the circle turn must be taken into account when designing THE SYSTEM.
Cuando las ondas de agua inciden con su impacto sobre las boyas (9), las boyas (9) flotan y suben debido a su peso. La parte interior que es el colector de impacto y vibración (31 ) generada por el agua provocan deformación y vibraciones que inciden en los generadores piezoeléctricos, los que generan la electricidad. When water waves affect their impact on the buoys (9), the buoys (9) float and rise due to their weight. The inner part that is the collector of impact and vibration (31) generated by the water causes deformation and vibrations that affect the piezoelectric generators, which generate the electricity.
- La combinación de agua con el peso de la boya (9) utiliza la fuerza del empuje de la fuerza de gravedad. Opcionalmente, se puede incluir en al menos un brazo de apoyo- The combination of water with the weight of the buoy (9) uses the force of the thrust of the force of gravity. Optionally, it can be included in at least one support arm
(12) un contrapeso (15) en el lado opuesto de la boya (9) para generar balance adicional. (12) a counterweight (15) on the opposite side of the buoy (9) to generate additional balance.
En el sistema adicional a la invención, para generar más electricidad aprovechando la infraestructura instalada, se asume que la boya (9) se mueve en un movimiento circular oscilante, y la onda causa una fuerza vectorial perpendicular; en vista de que la boya (9) se mueve de manera circular en sus puntos máximos hacia arriba y hacia abajo en el cuerpo de agua, EL SISTEMA se debe diseñar de manera que la ubicación de la boya (9) esté llegando en la mayor parte del tiempo α los máximos puntos de su recorrido semicircular superiores e inferiores en las partes dominantes de las corrientes de los cuerpos de agua. In the additional system to the invention, in order to generate more electricity by taking advantage of the installed infrastructure, it is assumed that the buoy (9) moves in an oscillating circular motion, and the wave causes a perpendicular vector force; in view that the buoy (9) moves in a circular manner at its maximum points up and down in the body of water, THE SYSTEM must be designed so that the location of the buoy (9) is reaching the largest Part of time α the maximum points of its upper and lower semicircular path in the dominant parts of the water body currents.
Adicional mente, en caso de que haya un cambio en la dirección de las oías, el sistema simplemente cambia de dirección para hacer frente a la dirección de las olas que se aproximen. Por ejemplo, el elemento estacionario o su parte superior se mueven libremente en su eje con énfasis hidrodinámico de la boya (9) que se asemejan a una veleta. En el sistema adicional a la invención, para convertir la energía de las olas en energía utilizable, EL SISTEMA se compone de al menos un pistón (6) o (27), para que ese pistón (6) o (27) presione y ejerza bombeo de fluido hidráulico cuando el pistón se extienda y se retrae, respectivamente. El pistón (6) se conecta en un extremo con la bisagra (5) en la Figura 1 , y con el brazo de soporte (12) señalado en la figura 1 , a una distancia adecuada del eje o el pistón (27) puede ser conectado directamente a la boya (9). Eí pistón (6) estará conectado en su otro extremo al elemento estacionario (4) o directamente en el fondo del mar. EL SISTEMA de generación adicional a la invención, consta de un sistema de tuberías (33) que transportan el fluido hidráulico generado por la presión en el pistón (6) o (27) hacia el motor hidráulico (21 ). Additionally, in case there is a change in the direction of the ears, the system simply changes direction to cope with the direction of the approaching waves. For example, the stationary element or its upper part move freely on its axis with hydrodynamic emphasis of the buoy (9) that resemble a weather vane. In the additional system to the invention, to convert wave energy into usable energy, THE SYSTEM is composed of at least one piston (6) or (27), so that that piston (6) or (27) presses and exerts hydraulic fluid pumping when the piston extends and retracts, respectively. The piston (6) is connected at one end with the hinge (5) in Figure 1, and with the support arm (12) indicated in Figure 1, at a suitable distance from the shaft or the piston (27) can be connected directly to the buoy (9). The piston (6) will be connected at its other end to the stationary element (4) or directly at the bottom of the sea. The generation system additional to the invention, consists of a system of pipes (33) that transport the hydraulic fluid generated by the pressure in the piston (6) or (27) to the hydraulic motor (21).
El sistema de tuberías (33) puede incluir opcionalmente, un acumulador (22). En este caso, el sistema de tuberías (33) combina el fluido hidráulico del pistón (6) o (27) con el acumulador (22) y el motor hidráulico (21 ). The pipe system (33) may optionally include an accumulator (22). In this case, the piping system (33) combines the hydraulic fluid of the piston (6) or (27) with the accumulator (22) and the hydraulic motor (21).
En la descripción anterior, el sistema de tuberías (33) puede proporcionar un simple círculo cerrado que se conecta el pistón (6) o (27) directamente al motor hidráulico (21 ). Sin embargo, el sistema de tuberías (33) incluye un contenedor de reserva de fluido hidráulico (25) para suministrar fluido hidráulico al pistón (6) o (27) y recoge el fluido hidráulico de motor hidráulico {21 ). In the above description, the pipe system (33) can provide a simple closed circle that connects the piston (6) or (27) directly to the hydraulic motor (21). However, the system of Piping (33) includes a hydraulic fluid reserve container (25) to supply hydraulic fluid to the piston (6) or (27) and collects hydraulic fluid from hydraulic motor {21).
Si el acumulador (22) es parte del sistema de tuberías (33), el contenedor de reserva de fluido hidráulico (25) está diseñado para suministrar fluido hidráulico al pistón (6) o (27) y recolectar el fluido hidráulico del motor hidráulico (21) y el exceso de fluido hidráulico del acumulador (22). If the accumulator (22) is part of the piping system (33), the hydraulic fluid reserve container (25) is designed to supply hydraulic fluid to the piston (6) or (27) and collect the hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic motor ( 21) and excess hydraulic fluid from the accumulator (22).
El sistema (33) de tuberías incluye una multitud de válvulas o switches de control de flujo unidireccional o válvulas de control de diferentes presiones para dirigir el flujo de fluido hidráulico en la dirección deseada. Por ejemplo, el acumulador def fluido hidráulico (19) puede ser equipado con válvula de control (24) para liberar presión y drenar el exceso de líquido del acumulador (23). The pipe system (33) includes a multitude of unidirectional flow control valves or switches or control valves of different pressures to direct the flow of hydraulic fluid in the desired direction. For example, the hydraulic fluid accumulator (19) can be equipped with a control valve (24) to release pressure and drain excess liquid from the accumulator (23).
Válvulas (16) y (25) se instalan en las tuberías (34) y (35), respectivamente y permitirán una sola dirección del fluido hidráulico hacia el acumulador (19) o al motor hidráulico (21 ) si es alimentado directamente por las tuberías (34) y (35). La válvula (17) permite solamente un flujo unidireccional hacia las tuberías (36) y (37) cuando el pistón (6) o (27) genera la fuerza de bombeo en uno de los tubos. Una configuración igual, incluyendo válvulas mecánicas o electrónicas para controlar o conectarse puede utilizarse en un proceso similar. Valves (16) and (25) are installed in the pipes (34) and (35), respectively and will allow a single direction of the hydraulic fluid to the accumulator (19) or to the hydraulic motor (21) if it is fed directly by the pipes (34) and (35). The valve (17) allows only one-way flow to the pipes (36) and (37) when the piston (6) or (27) generates the pumping force in one of the tubes. An equal configuration, including mechanical or electronic valves to control or connect, can be used in a similar process.
El acumulador (19) es un dispositivo intermedio que se utiliza para controlar la presión no deseada creada por el pistón (6) o (27) debido a las tormentas climáticas y su efecto sobre las olas y para controlar el movimiento no deseado de las boyas (9) The accumulator (19) is an intermediate device that is used to control the unwanted pressure created by the piston (6) or (27) due to weather storms and its effect on the waves and to control the unwanted movement of the buoys (9)
El acumulador (19) contiene gas (38) a alta presión, a cientos de atmósferas, y una reserva del fluido hidráulico (23). La presión en el acumulador (19) aumenta cuando el pistón (6) o (27) presiona cada vez más líquido hacia el acumulador (19). El gas, que es preferentemente menor en relación con el fluido hidráulico, suaviza la presión del acumulador (19) hacia el motor hidráulico (21 ) y hace que sea más silencioso. Si se utiliza aceite hidráulico como fluido hidráulico, se puede utilizar nitrógeno como gas por ser barato y no reaccionan con el fluido hidráulico. La válvula (20) permite el flujo unidireccional de fluido del acumulador hidráulico (19) hacia el motor hidráulico (21 ); Cuando la presión en el acumulador (19) aumenta y alcanza un nivel preestablecido o cuando se abre !a válvula (20) mediante monitoreo extemo. The accumulator (19) contains high pressure gas (38), at hundreds of atmospheres, and a reserve of the hydraulic fluid (23). The pressure in the accumulator (19) increases when the piston (6) or (27) presses each time more liquid to the accumulator (19). The gas, which is preferably lower in relation to the hydraulic fluid, softens the pressure of the accumulator (19) towards the hydraulic motor (21) and makes it quieter. If hydraulic oil is used as a hydraulic fluid, nitrogen can be used as a gas because it is cheap and does not react with the hydraulic fluid. The valve (20) allows the unidirectional flow of fluid from the hydraulic accumulator (19) to the hydraulic motor (21); When the pressure in the accumulator (19) increases and reaches a preset level or when the valve is opened (20) by external monitoring.
La trayectoria del radio de giro del sistema (la. longitud de los brazos de soporte) se puede cambiar de conformidad con la intensidad de las olas, para proteger el sistema con la presencia de fuertes olas y para mejorar la eficiencia (productividad) de conversión de energía. Esta es la forma de alcanzar la adaptabilidad del SISTEMA. The trajectory of the turning radius of the system (the length of the support arms) can be changed in accordance with the intensity of the waves, to protect the system with the presence of strong waves and to improve conversion efficiency (productivity) of energy This is the way to achieve the adaptability of the SYSTEM.

Within the additional system to the invention that is claimed, to take advantage of the infrastructure and generate more electricity, the floating unit or Buoy (9), is connected by means of an arm to a hydraulic piston (27) that has movement and follows the same movement of the buoy (9) and sends the pressure of the hydraulic oil generated by its expansion and contraction through the outlets and inlets of the piston (44) towards systems of electricity generation by hydraulic means. The hydraulic piston can be anchored to the wall, bottom of the sea, rock wall or any type of artificial or natural wall or dike either built by man or created by nature through the hole (39) and the buoy through the connector (41).

La unidad (9) de flotación o boya, se encuentra sobre aguas de poca profundidad, generalmente al nivel del mar. La unidad o boya (9) tiene en su parte frontal y/o en su parte inferior espacios o cavidades (40) en los que se alojarán los generadores piezoeléctricos (42) de cualquier forma geométrica y espesor, que quedarán alojados en el espacio que se formará entre la boya (9) y el elemento flexible (43) que es el que recibe el impacto de las ondas u olas del agua (26) (olas del mar, lagos o ríos) y genera la deformación y vibración que hace que los generadores piezoeléctricos logren convertir la energía mecánica de la deformación de la pieza en energía eléctrica, transmitiendo esta energía eléctrica generada a baterías o a Ja red. Como elementos adicionales a la Figura 2, para generar más electricidad, en donde sea posible, se instalará en la boya (9) un riel superior (45) que alojará un sistema rodante (46) que estará conectado y tensado por un resorte [47) que hará que después de moverse por el impacto de las ondas acuáticas en un sentido, regrese el sistema a su posición original y con esto se mueva en ambos sentidos (48); éste sistema rodante estará sujetando a uno o más soportes verticales (49) que sujetarán una rueda de cualquier material (50) que ejercerá presión sobre su base de rodamiento, que es parte de la boya (9). Esta rueda, estará conectada por medio de un sistema de eje a un riel guía (51 ) que es parte de la boya (9) para mantenerlo en posición perpendicular a la superficie de rodamiento, y por el otro extremo del eje, estará conectado a un sistema de paletas de cualquier material (52) que por medio de giros (53) o rotación, harán que la rueda (50) avance en sentido ida y vuelta (56) y ejerza presión sobre la superficie también deformable de la base de la boya (9) y con ello genere deformaciones y presión por ambos lados de los generadores piezoeléctricos (42) logrando mayor generación de electricidad. La rueda (50) estará conectada, también a un resorte (54) que ejercerá tensión para que la rueda tenga un empuje vectorial hacia abajo (57), sumado a la presión ejercida por su propio peso con la fuerza de gravedad en sentido inferior (55). Dentro del sistema adicional a la invención que se reclama, para aprovechar ía infraestructura y generar más electricidad, !a unidad flotante o boya (9), se encuentra conectada por medio de un brazo a un pistón hidráulico (27) que tiene movimiento y sigue el mismo movimiento de la boya (9) y envía la presión del aceite hidráulico generada por su expansión y contracción por medio de las salidas y entradas del pistón (44) hacia sistemas de generación de electricidad por medios hidráulicos. El pistón hidráulico puede estar anclado al muro, fondo del mar, muro de roca o cualquier tipo de muro o dique artificial o natural ya sea construido por el hombre o creado por la naturaleza por medio del orificio (39) y a la boya por medio del conector (41 ). Figure 3 illustrates the floating system or buoy containing the piezoelectric generators that will generate the electrical energy and the piston that will serve as an additional complement to the invention for greater generation of electrical energy complementary to the invention by means of wave energy conversion. The float unit (9) or buoy is located on shallow water, usually at sea level. The unit or buoy (9) has in its front part and / or in its lower part spaces or cavities (40) in which the piezoelectric generators (42) of any geometric shape and thickness will be housed, which will be housed in the space that It will be formed between the buoy (9) and the flexible element (43) which is the one that receives the impact of the waves or waves of the water (26) (waves of the sea, lakes or rivers) and generates the deformation and vibration that causes the generators Piezoelectric converts the mechanical energy of the deformation of the piece into electrical energy, transmitting this generated electrical energy to batteries or the network. As additional elements to Figure 2, to generate more electricity, where possible, an upper rail (45) will be installed in the buoy (45) that will house a rolling system (46) that will be connected and tensioned by a spring [47]. ) which will cause the system to return to its original position after moving by the impact of the water waves in one direction and thus moving in both directions (48); This rolling system will be holding one or more vertical supports (49) that will hold a wheel of any material (50) that will exert pressure on its bearing base, which is part of the buoy (9). This wheel will be connected by means of an axle system to a guide rail (51) that is part of the buoy (9) to keep it perpendicular to the bearing surface, and at the other end of the axle, it will be connected to a pallet system of any material (52) which, by means of turns (53) or rotation, will cause the wheel (50) to move back and forth (56) and exert pressure on the deformable surface of the base of the buoy (9) and thereby generate deformations and pressure on both sides of the piezoelectric generators (42) achieving greater electricity generation. The wheel (50) will also be connected to a spring (54) that will exert tension so that the wheel has a downward vector thrust (57), added to the pressure exerted by its own weight with the gravity force in the lower direction ( 55). Within the system additional to the invention that is claimed, to take advantage of the infrastructure and generate more electricity, the floating unit or buoy (9), is connected by means of an arm to a hydraulic piston (27) that has movement and follows the same movement of the buoy (9) and sends the hydraulic oil pressure generated by its expansion and contraction by means of the piston outlets and inlets (44) towards systems of Electricity generation by hydraulic means. The hydraulic piston can be anchored to the wall, bottom of the sea, rock wall or any type of artificial or natural wall or dike either built by man or created by nature through the hole (39) and the buoy through the connector (41).

La Figura 8 ilustra en el dibujo isoméfrico el sistema de conversión en energía, de las olas del mar (como un sistema adicional al de la invención para aprovechar la infraestructura instalada y potenciar la energía generada). La boya o sistema flotante (9) se instala en aguas bajas, generalmente a nivel del mar. La unidad flotante o boya (9) está conectada, lo cual puede ser por medio de un brazo, a un pistón hidráulico (27) que se mueve siguiendo al movimiento de la boya o sistema de flotación (9). El Pistón hidráulico debe anclarse al piso del mar o a la estructura de concreto, roca, dique, rompeolas o sistema de protección natural o artificial por el extremo contrario a la boya o sistema de flotación. El movimiento del pistón hidráulico (27) causa flujo de aceite hidráulico por la expansión y la retracción del pistón (27). Los cambios en el flujo de aceite del pistón hidráulico (27) pasan a través de la válvula de aceite hidráulico (16) que está diseñada para limitar el desplazamiento y la presión del aceite, para evitar así, cambios significativos en el flujo de aceite hidráulico causado por cambios aleatorios en la intensidad de la onda acuática. El aceite hidráulico que fluye de la válvula (16) entra en el ianque acumulador hidroneumáticoFigure 8 illustrates in the isometric drawing the system of conversion into energy, of the waves of the sea (as an additional system to that of the invention to take advantage of the installed infrastructure and boost the generated energy). The buoy or floating system (9) is installed in low waters, usually at sea level. The floating unit or buoy (9) is connected, which can be by means of an arm, to a hydraulic piston (27) that moves following the movement of the buoy or flotation system (9). The hydraulic piston must be anchored to the sea floor or to the structure of concrete, rock, dike, breakwater or natural or artificial protection system at the opposite end to the buoy or flotation system. The movement of the hydraulic piston (27) causes hydraulic oil flow due to the expansion and retraction of the piston (27). Changes in the oil flow of the hydraulic piston (27) pass through the hydraulic oil valve (16) which is designed to limit the displacement and pressure of the oil, to avoid changes significant in the hydraulic oil flow caused by random changes in the intensity of the water wave. Hydraulic oil flowing from the valve (16) enters the hydropneumatic accumulator tank
(22). (22).
El tanque acumulador hidroneumático (22) está diseñado de manera que contenga gas nitrógeno en su parte interior superior (23) y aceite hidráulico en su parte interior inferior (8) dividiendo a los dos por medio de un separador (76). The hydropneumatic accumulator tank (22) is designed to contain nitrogen gas in its upper inner part (23) and hydraulic oil in its lower inner part (8) dividing the two by means of a separator (76).
Como resultado de las olas ejerciendo presión al dispositivo, grandes cambios en ía presión del aceite alcanzan al acumulador (22), pero como está diseñado de tal manera que contiene aceite en su parte inferior y nitrógeno en su parte superior, los golpes y los cambios que llegan se suavizan a su salida y el nitrógeno que fluye al generador eléctrico (21 ) es más continuo y no tiene fluctuaciones. As a result of the waves exerting pressure on the device, large changes in the oil pressure reach the accumulator (22), but as it is designed in such a way that it contains oil in its lower part and nitrogen in its upper part, blows and changes they arrive soften at their exit and the nitrogen that flows to the electric generator (21) is more continuous and has no fluctuations.
El nitrógeno fluye desde la parte superior (38) del acumulador (22) y le da potencia al generador eléctrico (21 ) que produce electricidad. Nitrogen flows from the top (38) of the accumulator (22) and powers the electric generator (21) that produces electricity.
. La boya (9) que se conecta a través de un brazo con el pistón hidráulico, se mueve a lo largo del brazo de conformidad con la intensidad de las olas. . The buoy (9) that connects through an arm with the hydraulic piston, moves along the arm in accordance with the intensity of the waves.
Durante el mar tormentoso y de fuerte oleaje, el brazo se hace más corto para que una cantidad más pequeña de cambios significativos lleguen al pistón hidráulico. Cuando el mar está tranquilo, el brazo se hace más largo e incluso pequeños cambios en las ondas acuáticas alcanzar el pistón hidráulico. During the stormy sea and strong waves, the arm becomes shorter so that a smaller amount of significant changes reach the hydraulic piston. When the sea is calm, the arm becomes longer and even small changes in water waves reach the hydraulic piston.
