Abstract

An anchoring device for adapting to tide level for a wave energy power generation device comprises: a housing, wherein a central main shaft is provided at the center thereof, two ends of the central main shaft are respectively rigidly connected to a volute spring, and the interior of the housing is divided into several independent compartments, including a central compartment accommodating the central main shaft; a shaft lock and a central main gear capable of driving the central main shaft to rotate mounted on the central main shaft; and a plurality of hoisting wheel compartments arranged at equal intervals in a circumferential array around the central main shaft. A hoisting wheel is provided in each of the hoisting wheel compartments, and an anchor chain wound on the hoisting wheel protrudes out of the housing through an opening at the bottom of the hoisting wheel compartment.
