This invention relates to a triboelectric bearing, an in-situ
monitoring system for operational status, and a method for manufacturing the same. The triboelectric bearing comprises a bearing body and a
semiconductor coating. The bearing body includes a conductive stationary ring, a conductive moving ring, and a conductive roller. The conductive roller is located between the conductive stationary ring and the conductive moving ring. At least one of the conductive stationary ring and the conductive moving ring serves as a substrate. The
semiconductor coating is disposed on the substrate. The conductive roller contacts the
semiconductor coating to generate a
direct current when it moves relative to the semiconductor coating. Alternatively, the conductive roller serves as the substrate, the semiconductor coating is disposed on the substrate, and both the conductive stationary ring and the conductive moving ring contact the semiconductor coating and generate a
direct current when they move relative to the semiconductor coating. The triboelectric bearing of this invention not only possesses the mechanical functions of a traditional bearing but also achieves self-powered and in-situ monitoring characteristics, effectively solving problems such as limited sensor installation space, the need for external power supply, and high maintenance costs in bearing monitoring technologies.
