Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wearable equipment and energy harvesting technology, and in particular to an integrated backpack for vibration isolation and energy harvesting. Background Technology

[0002] Carrying loads while moving is a common behavior in human production and activities. There is a widespread and urgent need for high carrying comfort and continuous portable power supply in fields such as individual combat, field exploration, emergency rescue, long-distance travel, and daily commuting. In these scenarios, when people walk or run, the backpack load generates significant up-and-down reciprocating vibrations due to the human stride cycle. This continuous impact load can easily lead to fatigue, discomfort, and even musculoskeletal damage in the user's shoulders and back. Only by adopting efficient vibration isolation mechanisms can carrying comfort be effectively improved. The mechanical energy generated in these scenarios is usually dissipated by traditional backpack structures or simple cushioning pads in the form of structural stress and heat, failing to effectively utilize the backpack as a continuous and ubiquitous energy carrier, resulting in energy waste. In outdoor and mobile work environments, power supply is scarce, carrying spare batteries increases weight and is inconvenient for charging, and battery recycling and disposal remain difficult. Not carrying batteries can reduce pollution and resource consumption, contributing to sustainable development. Therefore, a self-powered technology that can collect and convert energy on-site is needed. To this end, we propose an integrated vibration isolation and energy harvesting backpack. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] An integrated vibration isolation and energy harvesting backpack includes a first panel and a second panel. The second panel is mounted on one side of the first panel, and a backpack shoulder strap is provided on the other side of the first panel. An X-shaped buckling beam structure is mounted between the first panel and the second panel. The X-shaped buckling beam structure includes an X-shaped structure and a buckling beam. Strip-shaped protrusions are integrally fixed on the top of the first panel and the bottom of the second panel. An X-shaped structure is fixed between the two strip-shaped protrusions and the X-shaped structure is in a stretched state. A buckling beam is fixed on the inner side of the X-shaped structure.

[0006] Preferably, the X-shaped structure consists of two vertically symmetrical rhomboid structures.

[0007] Preferably, the buckling beam is located inside one of the rhomboid structures, and the buckling beam is perpendicular to the vertical central axis of the X-shaped structure.

[0008] Preferably, the X-shaped buckling beam structure further includes a piezoelectric ceramic sheet, and the top of the buckling beam is bonded with the piezoelectric ceramic sheet.

[0009] Preferably, one end of the piezoelectric ceramic sheet is connected to a power management circuit, and the other end of the piezoelectric ceramic sheet is connected to a power supply device.

[0010] It is clear without a doubt that the technical solution described above in this application can solve the technical problem that this application aims to address.

[0011] Meanwhile, through the above technical solutions, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. The present invention, through the structural design of the X-shaped buckling beam structure, makes it easy for the device to achieve quasi-zero stiffness characteristics, giving it low-frequency high-performance vibration isolation characteristics, which is superior to the traditional spring damping structure.

[0013] 2. This invention can collect the energy from the vibration of a human backpack during movement and convert it into electrical energy. It can provide an external power source to meet low-power power needs in the wild, such as GPS and Bluetooth communication. Moreover, it does not require batteries, making it more environmentally friendly and convenient to use. Attached Figure Description

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0023] Example

[0024] Reference Figure 1-5 A vibration isolation and energy harvesting integrated backpack includes a first panel 1 and a second panel 2, which form a basically parallel structure; the first panel 1 contacts the shoulder; the first panel 1 and the second panel 2 are connected by an X-shaped buckling beam structure; the vibration reduction is mainly achieved through the X-shaped buckling beam structure to achieve quasi-zero stiffness characteristics, so that it has low-frequency or ultra-low-frequency vibration isolation function.

[0025] A piezoelectric ceramic sheet 5 is attached to the upper surface of the buckling beam 4. When the beam moves, the buckling beam 4 will undergo a small deformation. At the same time, the piezoelectric ceramic sheet 5 attached to the surface of the buckling beam 4 will generate charge under the action of vibration, realizing the external discharge current. The wire is located inside the rhomboid structure of the X-shaped structure 3 and is used to connect the circuit.

[0026] Circuits such as Figure 5 As shown, the entire circuit consists of five parts. The red box contains the P-SSHI circuit, designed to adapt to frequently changing backpack loads. When the piezoelectric voltage reaches its peak, it forms an LC resonant circuit, instantaneously reversing the polarity of the voltage across its terminals. One end is connected to the piezoelectric buckling beam 4. The brown box contains the cascaded buck-boost circuit for DC-DC conversion. The green box contains the oscillator circuit, which controls the switching of the cascaded buck-boost circuit through the generated duty cycle signal. The blue box contains the wake-up circuit, which reduces energy loss and improves efficiency. The yellow box contains the overvoltage protection circuit, which prevents excessive output voltage and ensures a stable DC output from the power management circuit. The power management circuit converts unstable AC voltage into stable DC voltage, enabling direct power supply to electronic devices such as mobile phones, GPS devices, and Bluetooth communication devices without the need for batteries, thus meeting environmental protection requirements.
