Miniature electromagnetic type vibration energy collector and manufacturing method thereof

Abstract

The invention relates to a miniature electromagnetic type vibration energy collector and a manufacturing method thereof. The electromagnetic type vibration energy collector consists of a centre mass block, an outer support frame, two folded elastic beams, a plane spiral coil, two permanent magnets, an upper cover plate, a substrate and the like. In the electromagnetic type vibration energy collector, vibration structures (including the centre mass block and the folded elastic beams) are manufactured by using bulk silicon micromachine processing technique, the plane spiral coil is manufactured by using a surface micromachine processing technique and is manufactured on the upper surface of the centre mass block; and the two permanent magnets are located above the plane spiral coil in parallel. The energy absorber can work in a low frequency range, and mechanical energy vibrated in the environment is converted into electrical energy, thereby solving the problem that a wireless sense network or micro-nano device and the like depend on a battery to achieve supply feed. The energy absorber has the advantages of small volume, simple manufacturing method, wide application prospect and the like, and is easy to produce in batches.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a miniature electromagnetic vibration energy collector for collecting vibration energy in the environment and a manufacturing method thereof. The energy collector is prepared by a micro-processing method combining bulk silicon and surface micromachines, and belongs to the field of micro-electromechanical systems. Background technique [0002] The development of micro-nano technology has greatly promoted the emergence of a large number of new micro-nano devices and systems, and has also largely promoted the development of micro wireless sensor networks and communication nodes. However, whether it is wireless sensing products or micro-nano Devices, their volume is continuously reduced, power consumption is gradually reduced, and the problem of power supply is becoming an obstacle to their development. Currently, chemical energy batteries, rechargeable batteries or fuel cells are used as electrical energy sources, although the effi...
