Impact micro-energy harvesting array structure

Abstract

The invention discloses an impact micro-energy harvesting array structure which mainly comprises a base and a harvesting unit array fixed onto the base, each harvesting unit comprises a flexible belt, a substrate, a piezoelectric composite beam, a mass block and an impact stopper, each mass block is connected with the corresponding substrate through the corresponding piezoelectric composite beam, each impact stopper is fixed onto the corresponding substrate, each substrate is fixed onto the base through the corresponding flexible belt, and the lengths of the flexible belts of the units are slightly different. Under the action of environmental vibration and wind, the harvesting units differently swing and mutually impact, the mass blocks and the piezoelectric composite beams vibrate by the aid of impact force, and vibration energy is further converted into electric energy by a piezoelectric layer on each composite beam. The impact micro-energy harvesting array structure is capable of simultaneously harvesting the vibration energy and wind energy, is high in harvesting efficiency for common low-frequency and broadband vibration energy and low-medium speed wind energy in environments, has higher environmental adaptability and wider application range for a current micro-energy harvesting system only harvesting the vibration energy or the wind energy, and can promote an MEMS (micro-electromechanical system) energy harvesting system to be widely applied to the field of wireless sensing and the like.
