First Claim
1. A power generation apparatus (1, 1a) using wave energy conversion by gravity, comprising:
- a sealed body (10, 10a) having a receiving space (100) in which a track (11) is disposed;
a rotor (20, 20a) disposed in the receiving space (100) and comprising an eccentric disk (21, 21a), a plurality of rollers (22, 22a), and a rotating shaft (23, 23a), wherein a center of gravity of the eccentric disk (21, 21a) is disposed with an offset to that of the sealed body (10, 10a), wherein the rollers (22, 22a) are mounted to the eccentric disk (21, 21a) and disposed on the track (11), wherein the rotating shaft (23, 23a) penetrates through the eccentric disk (21, 21a);
a gear box (30, 30a) comprising at least one gear shaft (31) driven by the rotating shaft (23, 23a) to rotate;
a power generation motor (40, 40a) driven by the at least one gear shaft (31) to rotate and generate electric power; and
a pontoon (50, 50a) mounted to the outside of the sealed body (10, 10a),wherein the track (11) has a ring shape and is disposed along an inner wall of the sealed body (10, 10a)wherein the track (11) comprises a first ring plate (111) and a second ring plate (112) opposite to the first ring plate (111), wherein both sides of the rollers (22, 22a) contact against the first ring plate (111) and the second ring plate (112), respectively, wherein the rollers (22, 22a) are disposed and can slide between the first ring plate (111) and the second ring plate (112).

Abstract
A power generation apparatus (1, 1a) using wave energy conversion by gravity includes a sealed body (10, 10a), a rotor (20, 20a), a gear box (30,30a), a power generation motor (40, 40a), and a pontoon (50, 50a). The rotor (20, 20a), disposed in the sealed body (10, 10a), includes an eccentric disk (21, 21a), a plurality of rollers (22, 22a) and a rotating shaft (23, 23a) penetrating through the eccentric disk (21, 21a). A center of gravity of the eccentric disk (21, 21a) is disposed with an offset to that of the sealed body (10, 10a). The gear box (31) is driven by the rotating shaft (23, 23a). The power generation motor (40, 40a) is driven by the gear box (31) to rotate and generate electric power.
