Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of energy capture, in particular to a self-powered transmission line vibration intelligent monitoring device. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development and expansion of power grid construction, intelligent transmission line status monitoring has become increasingly important. Sensors, as primary and critical components in automatic control systems, can collect various information such as ambient temperature and humidity, gas concentration, vibration, acceleration, current and voltage, and transmit this information to other monitoring devices, providing a reliable method for detecting the operating status of transmission lines. Existing sensors generally require a continuous external power supply. Traditional chemical batteries are bulky, have limited service lives, are difficult to repair and replace after damage in the operating environment, and, once discarded, cause irreversible environmental pollution and harm human health. Therefore, finding a continuous power supply for sensors and ensuring their uninterrupted operation has become a challenge. Researchers have proposed using environmental energy as an alternative energy source for sensor nodes, achieving a sustainable power supply by harvesting energy from the surrounding environment. Vibration energy is ubiquitous and easily accessible in the environment. Converting this energy into electricity through a piezoelectric cantilever beam and a friction structure can provide a reliable power source for smart grid wireless sensor nodes. Based on this, we propose a self-powered intelligent transmission line vibration monitoring device. Its main principle is to harvest energy from the environment, convert this energy into electricity, and power the signal transmission module, thereby achieving intelligent monitoring of power grid transmission lines.

The inner wall surface of the cylinder has a base for fixing the cantilever beam, and the connecting surfaces on both sides of the cylinder protrude mounting interfaces, and the connecting surface of the end cover protrudes mounting interfaces;

[0006] The piezoelectric energy capture module includes a friction energy capture module, a cantilever beam, and a piezoelectric sheet. The friction energy capture module is located at the end of the cantilever beam. The fixed end of the cantilever beam is fixed to the base of the cylinder using a bolt structure.

[0023] The technical solution of the present utility model is further described in detail below through specific implementation methods.

[0024] A self-powered transmission line vibration intelligent monitoring device comprises an end cover, a cylinder, a wire clamp, a support beam, a piezoelectric energy capture module, a friction energy capture module, an energy capture conversion module and a signal transmission module.

[0025] The energy capture and conversion module is used to collect, convert and manage the collected energy, and the signal transmission module is used to transmit the monitored transmission line vibration signal to a ground receiver.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] like Figure 1-Figure 5As shown, the end cover 1 is fixed to the cylinder 2 by a bolt structure 8, the wire clamp 3 and the support beam 4 are fixed to the cylinder 2, the support beam 4 has a cylindrical structure in the middle, and four square columns are evenly distributed around the cylinder. The inner wall surface of the cylinder 2 has a base for fixing the cantilever beam 5, and the connecting surfaces on both sides of the cylinder 2 protrude the mounting interface 11, and the connecting surface of the end cover 1 protrudes the mounting interface 11;

[0028] The piezoelectric energy capture module includes a friction energy capture module, a cantilever beam 5, and a piezoelectric sheet 9. The friction energy capture module is located at the end of the cantilever beam. The fixed end of the cantilever beam is fixed to the base of the cylinder 2 using a bolt structure 8. The piezoelectric sheet 9 is installed on one side or both sides of the cantilever beam 5. The cylinder 2 is connected to the power transmission line through the wire clamp 3. When the power transmission line vibrates, the cylinder 2 is driven to vibrate. The base on the cylinder 2 drives the cantilever beam 5 to swing. The piezoelectric sheet 9 is connected to the energy capture conversion module.

[0029] The friction energy capture module includes a response plate 6, a fixed plate 7, and a friction power generation film 10. The response plate 6 and the fixed plate 7 are located at the ends of the cantilever beam 5. The response plate 6 is arranged correspondingly with the fixed plate 7 as the symmetry axis. The friction power generation films 10 are fixed in pairs on the opposite surfaces of the response plate 6 and the fixed plate 7. The swing of the cantilever beam 5 drives the response plate 6 to perform a flapping action. The friction power generation film 10 is connected to the energy capture conversion module through a wire.

[0030] The self-powered transmission line vibration intelligent monitoring device is installed on the transmission line through a wire clamp 3. When the transmission line is disturbed by natural wind and vibrates, the cylinder 2 of the self-powered transmission line vibration intelligent monitoring device on it is driven to vibrate. The cylinder 2 drives the cantilever beam 5 to vibrate through the base thereon. The vibration of the cantilever beam 5 causes the piezoelectric piece 9 on its surface to deform and generate voltage, which is connected to the energy capture conversion module through a wire; at the same time, the vibration of the cantilever beam 5 drives the response plate 6 at its end to flap on both sides of the fixed plate 7, and the power generation film 10 on its opposite surface generates voltage through friction, which is connected to the energy capture conversion module through a wire. The energy conversion module provides electrical energy to the signal transmission module.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] In this embodiment, the cantilever beam is fixed on the inner base groove of the cylinder at equal angles along the circumferential direction, and the end of the cantilever beam is a swing end. In a natural environment, no matter in which direction the wind acts on the self-powered transmission line vibration intelligent monitoring device, it can efficiently capture energy through its multi-angle adaptive design, thereby ensuring that under complex and changeable natural conditions, a continuous power support is provided for the operation of the intelligent monitoring system.

[0033] Example 3

[0034] In this embodiment, the self-powered transmission line vibration intelligent monitoring device can be installed on the inclined cable of the bridge. When the wind flows through the surface of the inclined cable and forms alternating vortices on both sides to cause the inclined cable to vibrate, the piezoelectric energy capture module and the friction energy capture module convert the vibration kinetic energy into electrical energy through the energy conversion module to power the signal transmission module. No external power supply is required, thereby realizing real-time monitoring of key parameters such as vibration, stress, and temperature of the bridge inclined cable, ensuring the safety of the bridge structure and extending the service life of the bridge.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model and not to limit it; although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that the specific implementation methods of the utility model can still be modified or some technical features can be replaced by equivalents; without departing from the spirit of the technical solution of the utility model, they should all be included in the scope of the technical solution for protection of the utility model.
