First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A cage culture platform for comprehensively utilizing new marine energy, comprising: a wave power generation device, a platform main body, solar power generation devices, a wind power generation device, a culture cage and a mooring system;
wherein the wave power generation device is arranged on a wave-facing side of the platform main body, the solar power generation devices and the wind power generation device are arranged in an upper space of the platform main body, the culture cage is arranged in an underwater space below the platform main body, and the mooring system is used for anchoring the platform main body in sea;
wherein the wave power generation device comprises a box body, a front wallboard, an articulated shaft, an air channel, an air turbine, a first generator and an accumulator, wherein the front wallboard is hinged with the box body through the articulated shaft to compress or expand an internal space of the box body under an wave action, the air channel is in communication with the box body, wherein the air channel, the air turbine and the first generator are connected in sequence, and the accumulator is connected with the air channel;
further comprising second generators, wherein each of the second generators is connected with the articulated shaft through a gearbox, or each of the second generators is connected with the articulated shaft through a hydraulic cylinder and a hydraulic motor; and
further comprising a transmission connecting rod, wherein sealed chambers are arranged in the platform main body; the air turbine, the first generator, the accumulator and the second generators are all arranged in the sealed chambers, and an output end of the gearbox or the hydraulic cylinder and the hydraulic motor is connected with each of the second generators through the transmission connecting rod.

2. The cage culture platform for comprehensively utilizing new marine energy according to claim 1 , wherein the platform main body has a circular, triangular, rectangular or other polygonal shape.

3. The cage culture platform for comprehensively utilizing new marine energy according to claim 1 , further comprising a damper, wherein the damper is connected and arranged at an output end of the articulated shaft.

4. The cage culture platform for comprehensively utilizing new marine energy according to claim 1 , wherein a ballast water tank is arranged inside the platform main body, and the ballast water tank is used for filling ballast water.

5. The cage culture platform for comprehensively utilizing new marine energy according to claim 1 , wherein each of the solar power generation devices comprises a solar photovoltaic panel and electrical equipment thereof, and is capable of being arranged in the upper space of the platform main body in a modular manner.

6. The cage culture platform for comprehensively utilizing new marine energy according to claim 1 , wherein the wind power generation device has a structural form of a horizontal axis fan or a vertical axis fan, and is capable of being arranged in the upper space of the platform main body in a modular manner.

7. The cage culture platform for comprehensively utilizing new marine energy according to claim 1 , wherein types of energy utilization are not limited to wave power generation, solar power generation and wind power generation, but also use other types of marine energy, or any one or more combinations thereof.
