Abstract
Provided is a wave energy power generation device, comprising a working platform, and a wave energy conversion mechanism, a wave energy storage mechanism and a wave energy power generation mechanism, which are arranged on the working platform. By means of the structures, such as a buoyancy tank, a lever, a gear set and a flywheel, the wave energy conversion mechanism converts wave energy, which is generated by wave fluctuation, into mechanical energy ensuring the continuous rotation of the flywheel. The wave energy storage mechanism, by means of compressed gas, collects and stores the wave energy.
