Embodiment Construction

[0070] The present invention provides an accessory system comprising an accessory unit adapted to be attached to a structure. The accessory unit includes accessories such as sensors and vibrational energy harvesting devices mechanically coupled to the structure. In use, vibration energy harvesting devices convert vibrations transmitted along a structure into electrical energy for powering accessories. In this way, the accessory is remotely powered by the vibrational energy harvesting device, and it is thus possible to avoid connecting the accessory directly to the structure's power source. Accordingly, the accessory may be mounted anywhere on the structure and is not limited to locations that have direct access to the structure's power source.

Abstract

An accessory system comprises an accessory unit adapted to be attached to a structure. The accessory unit comprises an accessory, such as a sensor, for attaching to a structure, and a vibration energyharvesting device. The vibrational energy harvesting device is arranged to contact the structure in use, and powers the accessory unit by converting vibrations transmitted through the structure to electrical energy.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an accessory system and a method of powering an accessory, and in particular to an accessory for mounting to a structure without the need for a wired power source. The invention relates, for example, to sensors or advertising displays. Background technique [0002] It is becoming more and more popular to provide structures such as street lights, traffic lights, buildings and bridges with accessories such as sensors or displays. In this way, various services such as smart sensing, security and advertising can be provided. For example, a motion sensor can be attached to a street light to detect whether there is a person in the vicinity of the street light, and thus whether lighting is required. [0003] Typically, accessories are mounted to the structure and connected to a power source. However, the structure may have a limited number of locations that provide access to a power source, which may determine where accesso...
