Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power generation and energy collection, and in particular to a power generation device and a power generation system based on vortex-induced oscillation. Background Art
[0002] The friction nanogenerator is a new type of energy conversion device based on the coupling of friction electrification and electrostatic induction. It can efficiently convert low-frequency, irregular, and dispersed mechanical energy into electrical energy. Its basic working principle is: when two materials with different electron gain and loss capabilities come into contact, their surfaces will generate static charges due to friction electrification; and when the two materials are separated under the drive of mechanical external force, the positive and negative charges generated by friction electrification will also separate, thereby generating an induced potential difference between the upper and lower electrodes of the material; if a load is connected between the two electrodes or they are short-circuited, the induced potential difference will drive electrons to flow between the two electrodes through an external circuit, thereby forming an electric current. Therefore, when a force is applied to the system periodically, a reciprocating flow of electrons will occur between the two electrodes, thereby realizing the conversion of mechanical energy into electrical energy.
[0003] The electromagnetic power generation device is a device that generates electricity based on Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. Its principle is that when the magnet and the coil have relative motion, the cross-sectional magnetic flux of the coil changes and generates an induced voltage, thereby completing the conversion between mechanical energy and electrical energy. Electromagnetic energy capture devices have the characteristics of high current, low impedance, simple structure and low cost, and are favored by researchers.

[0055] Embodiment 1
[0056] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this embodiment provides a power generation device 100 based on vortex-induced oscillation, which mainly includes an energy conversion component and a vortex-induced oscillation component. The energy conversion component is used to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, and it includes a rotating shaft 1 that can drive the energy conversion component to operate; the vortex-induced oscillation component includes a columnar body 2 and an arc plate 3, one end of the arc plate 3 is connected to an axial end of the columnar body 2, and the other end of the arc plate 3 is connected to the rotating shaft 1; the vortex-induced oscillation component can swing under the action of vortex in water and drive the rotating shaft 1 to twist, so that the energy conversion component can operate and realize the conversion of mechanical energy into electrical energy.
[0057] In this embodiment, the columnar body 2 may be a cylinder or a prism, and is generally preferably a cylinder; the arc plate 3 is preferably a "C"-shaped arc plate or an "S"-shaped arc plate.

[0059] In this embodiment, the energy conversion component is preferably a friction nanogenerator, which mainly includes a base 4, a lower friction disk 5 and an upper friction disk 6. The lower friction disk 5 is located above the base 4, and the lower surface of the lower friction disk 5 is connected to the upper part of the base 4, and the upper surface of the lower friction disk 5 is provided with a first friction material; the lower end of the rotating shaft 1 passes through the lower friction disk 5 and is rotatably connected to the lower friction disk 5 through a bearing 9; the upper friction disk 6 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 1, and the upper end of the rotating shaft 1 is connected to the second planar connecting section 3-3, and the upper friction disk 6 is located between the second planar connecting section 3-3 and the lower friction disk 5; the lower surface of the upper friction disk 6 is provided with a second friction material with a friction electric polarity different from that of the first friction material, the upper friction disk 6 and the lower friction disk 5 are arranged at intervals, and the distance between the lower surface of the upper friction disk 6 and the upper surface of the lower friction disk 5 is very small, but the distance between the upper friction disk 6 and the lower friction disk 5 can ensure the generation of friction electrification and electrostatic induction. The second planar connecting section 3-3 of the arc plate 3 is connected to the friction nanogenerator through the rotating shaft 1. When the eddy current in the water passes through, it will cause the vortex-induced oscillation assembly to swing as a whole and drive the rotating shaft 1 to twist, thereby driving the upper friction disk 6 to rotate relative to the lower friction disk 5, so that the materials with different friction electric polarities between the upper friction disk 6 and the lower friction disk 5 are constantly in contact and separated, thereby generating current and realizing the conversion of mechanical energy to electrical energy. The friction nanogenerator has a simple structure and can perform electromechanical energy conversion through vortex-induced oscillation. It has the advantages of rich material selection, small size, light weight, easy manufacturing and installation, etc.
[0060] In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 1 can be set as a two-stage stepped shaft, which includes a coaxially arranged lower shaft section and an upper shaft section, and the diameter of the lower shaft section is larger than the diameter of the upper shaft section; the bearing 9 is sleeved on the lower shaft section, and the inner ring of the bearing 9 is interference fit with the lower shaft section, the lower friction disc 5 is sleeved outside the outer ring of the bearing 9, and the outer ring of the bearing 9 is interference fit with the lower friction disc 5; the upper friction disc 6 is sleeved on the upper shaft section and is interference fit with the upper shaft section. When setting the lower friction disc 5, it should be ensured that the upper surface of the lower friction disc 5 and the upper surface of the bearing 9 are located in the same plane, and it should be ensured that the distance between the upper friction disc 6 and the lower friction disc 5 can generate friction electrification and electrostatic induction.
[0061] The cylinder and the "C"-shaped arc plate of the vortex-induced oscillation assembly of this embodiment can be regarded as a rigid body after being connected. After the upper and lower ends of the "C"-shaped arc plate are respectively connected to the cylinder (i.e., columnar body 2) and the rotating shaft 1, the cylinder (i.e., columnar body 2) of the vortex-induced oscillation assembly is coaxial with the rotating shaft 1. In order to ensure that the cylinder (i.e., columnar body 2) is coaxial with the rotating shaft 1, a slot 1-1 is provided at the upper end of the upper shaft section through its central axis in this embodiment. The slot 1-1 runs through the radial direction of the upper shaft section and extends along the axial direction of the upper shaft section. The two slot surfaces of the slot 1-1 are symmetrically distributed with the central axis of the upper shaft section as the center. The second planar connecting section 3-3, as the lower vertical part of the arc plate 3, is inserted into the slot 1-1, and the two side surfaces of the second planar connecting section 3-3 are respectively in contact with the two slot surfaces of the slot 1-1. In order to ensure a compact and reliable connection, an interference fit is adopted between the second planar connecting section 3-3 and the slot 1-1, and then reinforced by bolts or screws to meet the requirement that the rotation center of the rotating shaft 1 coincides with the rotation center of the cylinder (i.e., columnar body 2). In this embodiment, it is preferred that the second planar connecting section 3-3 and the slot 1-1 are reinforced by two screws 7.
[0062] In this embodiment, the lower end of the rotating shaft 1 passes through the lower friction plate 5 and is connected to a nut 8 to limit the axial movement of the bearing 9, especially to prevent the bearing 9 from moving downward and destroying the distance between the upper friction plate 6 and the lower friction plate 5.
[0063] In this embodiment, the upper friction disc 6 and the lower friction disc 5 are circular friction discs with the same diameter, wherein: the lower surface of the upper friction disc 6 is evenly divided into eight upper fan-shaped areas 6-1 by very fine grooves 12, the second friction material can include a plurality of friction materials with the same triboelectric polarity but different specific materials, and the second friction material with the same triboelectric polarity and the same material is laid in any two diagonally arranged upper fan-shaped areas 6-1, and the second friction material with the same triboelectric polarity and different materials is laid in any two adjacent upper fan-shaped areas 6-1; the upper surface of the lower friction disc 5 is evenly divided into four lower fan-shaped areas 5-1 by very fine grooves 12, and the first friction material is laid in only one pair of relatively arranged lower fan-shaped areas 5-1, and the first friction material is not laid in the other pair of relatively arranged two lower fan-shaped areas 5-1. The above-mentioned first friction material and the second friction material are both triboelectric material films, which are attached to the corresponding fan-shaped areas.
[0064] In this embodiment, the electrode can be arranged on the lower friction disk 5 to form a single-electrode friction nanogenerator.
[0065] The power generation device 100 based on vortex-induced oscillation in this embodiment is essentially a torsional vibration superposition generator based on vortex-induced oscillation. When in use, the lower friction disc 5 is first fixed to the base 4 by screws, and then the base 4 is fixed to the bottom of the water or other supporting objects in the water, so that the entire vortex-induced oscillation power generation device 100 is immersed in water. There are a large number of water flows and vortices in the water. The vortices in any direction can drive the vortex-induced oscillation component as a whole to produce vortex-induced oscillation motion, thereby driving the rotating shaft 1 to rotate, so that the upper and lower friction discs 6 with materials with different friction electrical polarities rotate back and forth (twist) relative to the lower friction disc 5, so that the materials with different friction electrical polarities are constantly in contact and separation, realizing "torsional vibration superposition", thereby continuously generating current and realizing the conversion of mechanical energy into electrical energy. The array arrangement can gather the electrical energy generated by each independent power generation device 100 based on vortex-induced oscillation, greatly improving the output efficiency.
[0066] The dimensions of the columnar body 2 and the arc plate 3 of the vortex-induced oscillation assembly are designed to achieve the torsional vibration coupling superposition effect. In the two-degree-of-freedom system, the frequency response function matrix is as follows:

The magnet is arranged in the housing 10 to generate a fixed magnetic field; the coil is arranged in the housing 10 and is located in the fixed magnetic field. The coil is connected to the lower end of the rotating shaft 1 through a connecting rod and a coupling 11 as a rotor. Among them, the connection mode and positional relationship between the rotating shaft 1 and the second planar connecting section 3-3 are the same as those in the first embodiment, and are not repeated here.
