S-shaped piezoelectric cantilever beam vibration energy collector

Abstract

The invention discloses an S-shaped piezoelectric cantilever beam vibration energy collector. The S-shaped piezoelectric cantilever beam vibration energy collector comprises a supporting seat and an S-shaped cantilever beam fixedly mounted on the supporting seat, wherein the S-shaped cantilever beam comprises a substrate section, bent sections and free sections; piezoelectric elements are mounted on the surfaces of the substrate section and the free sections for converting energy generated by the vibration of the cantilever beam into electric energy; mass blocks are mounted at the tail ends of the free sections for adjusting the resonant frequency and vibration amplitude value of the cantilever beam; and the rigidity of the bent sections is far greater than that of the substrate section and the free sections. According to the vibration energy collector provided by the invention, the front two orders of vibration modes of the system are controlled through the S-shaped piezoelectric cantilever beam and the mass blocks at the tail end to form a relatively wide working frequency band; in addition, the apparatus is easy to start oscillation, and high in recycling efficiency and the operating stability; and conversion of the environment vibration energy can be realized.

Problems solved by technology

But there are also disadvantages: if the resonance frequency is lowered, the length of the cantilever must be increased, but too long cantilever is not conducive to the miniaturization of the device

In addition, most of the existing energy harvesters work at a fixed frequency, that is, the energy harvester can only work within a narrow single frequency range, while the vibration source frequency in the environment may
