Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of piezoelectric power generation, and in particular relates to a ship-borne piezoelectric energy harvester, which supplies power to a ship positioning and tracking system. Background technique [0002] Ship positioning and tracking systems have been widely used on civilian ships, providing strong guarantees for ship navigation safety, timely rescue, and search and rescue after loss of contact. However, the existing positioning and tracking systems are all powered by the engine. Once the ship has an accident and the engine and the entire power system fail, the positioning and tracking system also loses its proper function. In addition, the existing positioning and tracking systems are all external, which cannot work normally when the ship is wrecked and flooded, and the positioning system is easily turned off or destroyed after the ship is hijacked by criminals. In recent years, in order to ensure the safe ...

Problems solved by technology

However, most of the piezoelectric generators currently proposed for ship positioning and tracking systems are directly excited by the additional mass inertial force on the piezoelectric vibrator, so they can only collect energy in a fixed vibration direction and the resonant frequency is poorly adjustable; the most critical is The piezoelectric vibrator is subjected to two-way excitation and two-way bending deformation during operation. When the ship vibrates or shakes in the wind and waves with a large amplitude, the brittle piezoelectric material is easily broken due to excessive tensile stress.
