[0051] figure 1 It is a front view of the piezoelectric generator according to the first embodiment of the present invention. figure 2 It is a perspective view of the piezoelectric generator of the first embodiment.

[0052] Such as figure 1 As shown, the piezoelectric power generating device 1 has a first power generating element 2A and a second power generating element 2B. exist figure 1 Among them, the first power generating element 2A is provided on the second power generating element 2B.

[0053] The first power generating element 2A has a support body 3A and a piezoelectric body 4A.

[0054] The support body 3A is made of, for example, a conductive material such as a metal or an alloy, or an insulating material such as a ceramic material. The support body 3A has a flat part, a convex part 3Ad, and a support part 3Ac which is a leg part. The flat portion of the support body 3A, the convex portion 3Ad, and the support portion 3Ac are integrally formed. The planar p...

[0094] Figure 14 It is a front view of the piezoelectric generator of the third embodiment.

[0095] The piezoelectric power generating device 21 differs from the first embodiment in that it has three or more power generating elements 22 . Each power generating element 22 has the same configuration as that of the first power generating element 2A in the first embodiment.

[0096] In the piezoelectric power generating device 21, a plurality of power generating elements 22 are stacked vertically. Each power generating element 22 is overlapped similarly to the first and second power generating elements 2A, 2B of the first embodiment. When the piezoelectric body 4A of the uppermost power generating element 22 in the piezoelectric power generating device 21 is pressed downward, the piezoelectric body 4A of each power generating element 22 other than the uppermost power generating element 22 is also pressed by the support body 3A. The convex part 3Ad presses.

Abstract

Provided is a piezoelectric power generator that has high power generation efficiency and minimal likelihood of damaging piezoelectric bodies. The piezoelectric power generator 21 is provided with a plurality of power generation elements 22, each of which having: a support body 3A provided with a plate-shaped flat-surface part that has a main surface 3Aa and another main surface 3Ab, and a projecting part 3Ad that protrudes from the central part of the other main surface 3Ab; and a piezoelectric body 4A provided on the main surface 3Aa. The piezoelectric body 4A is disposed so as to overlap the projecting part when the support body 3A is viewed in plan view along the direction perpendicular to the main surface 3Aa. The plurality of power generation elements 22 overlap in the direction perpendicular to the main surfaces 3Aa. The support body 3A of at least one of a pair of adjacent power generation elements 22 is provided with a plurality of support parts 3Ac (legs) that protrude from a peripheral edge part further outward from the central part of the flat surface part. The plurality of power generation elements overlap, interposed by the legs 3Ac, so that the main surface 3Aa and the another main surface 3Ab of the mutual support bodies 3A face each other in the pair of adjacent power generating elements 22.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to piezoelectric generators. Background technique [0002] A piezoelectric power generator is used as a power generator using a piezoelectric element. Patent Document 1 below discloses an example of a piezoelectric generator.
