The invention relates to the technical field of mining equipment, in particular to a device and method for power generation through
kinetic energy recovery, the device comprises a
machine body, a bearing plate and a power generator, and the
machine body is a hollow container with an opening in the upper end; the bearing plate is elastically arranged in the
machine body through a spring device, and a fixed crushing structure is arranged on the bearing plate; the generator rotor is connected with the bearing plate through the motion conversion structure, so that the
linear motion of the bearing plate is converted into the rotary motion of the generator rotor through the motion conversion structure; the fixed crushing structure comprises a mounting part, a
retainer and an
extrusion part. Through mutual cooperation of the mounting part, the
retainer, the first elastic element and other structures, the effect of automatically fixing ores on the bearing plate is achieved, the ores are prevented from being popped out of the machine body by the spring device, and
kinetic energy of the ores is fully recycled. And meanwhile, through cooperation of an
extrusion part, a
retainer, a driving gear, a rack and other structures, the effect of crushing the ore by utilizing
kinetic energy of the ore is achieved, and subsequent transportation of the ore is facilitated.
