[0030] As introduced in the background technology, the purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned prior art and provide a vibration energy collection and monitoring device based on a friction nanogenerator. The friction nanogenerator is combined with an electromagnetic power generation device to realize multi-angle collection of vibration energy, wherein the electromagnetic power generation device is used to collect high-frequency and large-amplitude vibration energy, and the friction nanogenerator is used to collect low-frequency and small-amplitude vibration energy. The two are combined with the vibration energy collection device to realize the functions of broadband vibration energy collection, conversion and storage and vibration monitoring, while realizing the self-power supply of the sensing system and improving the practicality of the device.
[0031] Example 1
[0032] The triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is an energy harvesting technology based on the triboelectric effect. It generates charge through the contact and separation of materials, converting mechanical energy into electricity. Due to its low cost, ease of fabrication, and wide adaptability, it has demonstrated unique advantages in the field of vibration energy harvesting. TENG excels at harvesting low-frequency mechanical energy, and its high output voltage and power density make it suitable for powering smart devices and wireless sensors.
[0033] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment discloses a vibration energy collection and monitoring device based on a friction nanogenerator, including a shell 1, a plurality of groups of vibration springs 5 are fixedly connected to the inner top wall and the inner bottom wall of the shell 1, the other end of the vibration spring 5 is fixedly connected to a mounting plate, a negative electrode sheet is provided on the side of the mounting plate away from the vibration spring 5, a vibration energy collection device 11 is provided between the two mounting plates, a positive electrode sheet is provided on the top and the bottom of the vibration energy collection device 11, and a friction plate is fixedly connected to the side of the positive electrode sheet away from the vibration energy collection device 11.
[0034] In this embodiment, the vibration spring 5 fixedly connected to the top wall of the shell 1 is the first vibration spring, the mounting plate fixedly connected to the other end of the first vibration spring is the first mounting plate 14, and the negative electrode sheet provided on the first mounting plate 14 is the first negative electrode sheet 13. Correspondingly, the vibration spring 5 fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the shell 1 is the second vibration spring, the mounting plate fixedly connected to the other end of the second vibration spring is the second mounting plate 6, and the negative electrode sheet provided on the second mounting plate 6 is the second negative electrode sheet 8. The vibration energy harvesting device 11 is arranged between the first mounting plate 14 and the second mounting plate 6. The positive electrode sheet provided on the top of the vibration energy harvesting device 11 is the first positive electrode sheet 12, and the friction plate fixedly connected to the first positive electrode sheet 12 is the first friction plate 20. Correspondingly, the positive electrode sheet provided on the bottom of the vibration energy harvesting device 11 is the second positive electrode sheet 7, and the friction plate fixedly connected to the second positive electrode sheet 7 is the second friction plate 19.
[0035] The first vibration spring, first mounting plate 14, first negative electrode sheet 13, first friction plate 20, and first positive electrode sheet 12 together form a first triboelectric nano-generator. The second vibration spring, second mounting plate 6, second negative electrode sheet 8, second friction plate 19, and second positive electrode sheet 7 together form a second triboelectric nano-generator. In other words, this device is equipped with two triboelectric nano-generators, which are used to collect low-frequency, small-amplitude vibration energy and convert the vibration into mechanical energy after sliding friction, which is then converted into electrical energy.
[0036] In this embodiment, the first negative electrode sheet 13, the first positive electrode sheet 12, the second negative electrode sheet 8, and the second positive electrode sheet 7 are all made of rectangular copper foil. The first friction plate 20 and the second friction plate 19 are polyvinyl chloride friction plates. Negative electrode sheet mounting grooves are defined on the sides of the first mounting plate 14 and the second mounting plate 6 where the negative electrode sheet is mounted. These grooves surround the bottom edges of the mounting plates, effectively ensuring the area of the negative electrode sheet. Similarly, the areas of the positive electrode sheet and the friction plate are equal to those of the negative electrode sheet and the mounting plates, respectively, effectively increasing the absorption and conversion of vibration energy.
[0037] In this embodiment, multiple circular magnets 3 are disposed on the front wall of the housing 1. These magnets 3 are connected in a chain-like arrangement, with adjacent magnets having different magnetic poles, i.e., the south and north poles of the multiple circular magnets 3 are arranged alternately. Multiple sets of coils 4 are disposed on the side of the vibration energy harvester 11 near the front wall of the housing 1. A slider 16 is fixedly connected to the side of the coil 4 away from the front wall of the housing 1. The slider 16 is slidably connected to a guide rail 17 fixedly mounted on the inner rear wall of the housing 1, allowing the vibration energy harvester 11 to slide left and right along the guide rail 17.
[0038] Multiple circular magnets 3, multiple sets of coils 4, vibration energy collection device 11, slider 16 and guide rail 17 together constitute an electromagnetic power generation device, which is used to collect large-amplitude vibration energy, cut the magnetic lines of force through the left and right movement of the coil 4, and convert the vibration mechanical energy into electrical energy.
[0039] In order to ensure that the vibration energy harvesting device 11 provided with multiple sets of coils 4 can move left and right during vibration, an external magnet is provided on the left and right sides of the shell 1, and an internal magnet is provided on the left and right sides of the vibration energy harvesting device 11, and the external magnets on the same side are opposite to the internal magnets with the same poles. In this embodiment, a first external magnet 2 is provided on the left side of the shell 1, and a second external magnet 9 is provided on the right side. A first internal magnet 15 is provided on the left side of the vibration energy harvesting device 11, and a second internal magnet 10 is provided on the right side. The first external magnet 2 and the first internal magnet 15 are opposite to each other with the same poles, and the second external magnet 9 and the second internal magnet 10 are opposite to each other with the same poles. When large-amplitude vibration occurs, due to the principle of repulsion between like-pole magnets relative to each other, the vibration energy harvesting device 11 in the middle can move left and right along the guide rail 17.
[0040] The vibration energy harvesting device 11 is provided with a rectifier circuit and a capacitor. When vibration occurs, the friction nano-power generation device and the electromagnetic power generation device convert mechanical energy into electrical signals. The rectifier circuit in the vibration energy harvesting device 11 then converts the generated AC signals into DC power and stores it in the capacitor, thereby realizing the storage of electrical energy.
[0041] A vibration signal acquisition and monitoring device 18 is provided on one side of the shell 1. The vibration signal acquisition and monitoring device 18 is connected to the vibration energy collection device 11, and the vibration energy collection device 11 supplies power to the vibration signal acquisition and monitoring device 18, so that the sensing system can provide the required electrical energy for subsequent signal processing and transmission without the need for an external power supply, thereby realizing self-powering of the sensing system, improving the practicality of the device, and enabling it to more conveniently detect the vibration state of the object under test.
[0042] In this embodiment, the specific implementation process of the vibration energy harvesting and monitoring device based on the triboelectric nanogenerator is as follows:
[0043] The device is installed vertically on the object to be measured. When the object to be measured vibrates, the spring in the friction nano-power generation device in the device will deform, causing the negative electrode sheet on the mounting plate to periodically contact and separate with the polyvinyl chloride friction plate.
[0044] When the PVC friction plate comes into contact with the electrode material, electron transfer occurs due to the difference in electron affinity between the two materials. Electrons are transferred from the less electronegative material to the surface of the more electronegative material, resulting in electron accumulation on the PVC friction plate. When the negative electrode plate is in full contact with the PVC friction plate, the potential on the material surface reaches equilibrium, and no electrons flow in the external circuit. Due to electrostatic induction, the positive electrode plate on the back of the PVC friction plate will induce a different charge.
[0045] During the separation of the PVC friction plate from the negative electrode sheet, the original potential balance is disrupted, resulting in a potential difference between the two electrodes. To balance this electric field, electrons in the external circuit flow, creating an opposite potential difference, which in turn generates a current in the external circuit. The rectifier circuit in the vibration energy harvester 11 converts the generated AC signal into DC power and stores it in a capacitor, converting the mechanical energy from the vibration into electrical energy after sliding friction, thereby achieving the collection, conversion, and storage of low-frequency, small-amplitude vibration energy.
[0046] When the vibration is too large, the magnets on the left and right sides of the device will repel each other due to the principle of like charges repelling each other, and the vibration energy collection device 11 in the middle will move left and right along the guide rail 17, and the coil 4 in the middle part will cut the magnetic lines of force. The rectifier circuit in the vibration energy collection device 11 will convert the generated AC signal into DC power and store it in the capacitor, realizing the conversion of the mechanical energy of the vibration into electrical energy, and then realizing the collection, conversion and storage of high-frequency and large-amplitude vibration energy.
[0047] This vibration energy harvesting and monitoring device utilizes triboelectric nanogenerator technology to generate distinct electrical signals as sensor outputs under varying vibration conditions. These signals, based on raw acceleration data and processed vibration frequency and amplitude information, together form detailed vibration data. Analysis of this data provides a comprehensive understanding of the vibration characteristics and operating status of the measured object.
[0048] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention is susceptible to various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
