Embodiment

[0043] The size of each component in the mechanically rectified piezoelectric cantilever vibration energy harvester of this embodiment is shown in Table 1. The piezoelectric cantilever 3 adopts a piezoelectric bimorph, and the mass of the tip is the total mass of the mass block and the movable electrode.

[0045]

[0046] refer to image 3 , The schematic diagram of the open-circuit voltage frequency response curve of the vibration energy harvester in this embodiment under different excitation accelerations shows that the voltage curve of 0.1 g shows a linear vibration response when the resonance frequency is 20 Hz. However, the voltage curves at 0.3g and 0.5g show a non-linear vibrational response. The mechanical current limiter limits the maximum displacement of the cantilever tip and obtains a remarkable broadband frequency response at 10V from 19 to 29Hz, especially at 0.5g, where g is the acceleration due to gravity. This shows that the contact elect...

Below, the upper fixed electrode is connected to the lower fixed electrode. The invention can convert piezoelectric alternating current generated by vibration into direct current through a mechanical rectifier, avoiding the voltage drop of a traditional electronic rectifier.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of new energy devices, and in particular relates to a mechanical rectification type piezoelectric cantilever beam vibration energy harvester and rectification and energy collection methods thereof. Background technique [0002] A piezoelectric vibration energy harvester (Piezoelectric Vibration Energy Harvester, PVEH for short) is a device that collects environmental vibration energy and generates electricity. It is suitable for sustainable self-power supply of tiny systems such as wireless sensors. A typical piezoelectric energy harvesting device is generally composed of a piezoelectric cantilever beam and a tip additional mass. Under the excitation of environmental vibration, the piezoelectric cantilever beam performs simple harmonic vibration, and this simple harmonic strain generates alternating charges. Since the load requires DC power to work, a rectifier circuit is required to convert the AC power ge...
