Smart clothing for vibration energy collection

Abstract

The invention discloses smart clothing for collecting vibration energy. The smart clothing comprises a fabric, wherein a vibration energy collecting material is attached to the outer surface of the fabric; the vibration energy collecting material is orderly electrically connected with an energy storage unit and an energy management unit; the vibration energy collecting material collects energy by a piezoelectric way for collecting the vibration energy generated by environment vibration or object movement; the collected vibration energy is stored by the energy storage unit; and finally, a power supply is output by control of the energy management unit to supply power for an external electronic product. The smart clothing solves the problem of long-term or lasting supply of the power supply of a traditional battery by collecting the vibration energy, and simultaneously, solves the pollution problem of the traditional battery on the environment; the selection and preparation of the flexible material are better for selectivity on the environment vibration frequency; and limitation of the environment or an object in the vibration direction is not generated. The smart clothing has the advantages that the structure is simple, and the process cost is low, and has a wide application prospect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an intelligent clothing, in particular to an intelligent clothing fabric used for vibration energy collection. Background technique [0002] In smart clothing, MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) plays an important role. Due to its low power consumption, small size, and light weight, the integration of MEMS and clothing has become an inevitable trend. Smart clothing such as aviation suits is not yet popular, but clothing with certain functions has already been realized. [0003] Nowadays, most of the MEMS power supply for smart clothing is still in the form of traditional batteries. Although it can provide the required energy within a certain period of time, it is not realistic to simply rely on regular battery replacement to ensure its continuous work. On the basis of combining MEMS technology, energy harvesting devices using thermal energy, biological energy, wind energy, solar energy, vibration energy and other energy h...
