DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of the utility model.

[0039] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the utility model more apparent, obvious and easy to understand, the utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0040] As Figure 1 shown, an electromagnetic power generation device based on road vibration energy is shown, which is mainly used for recycling vertical vibration energy, converting it into electric energy and effectively storing it, mainly including: energy input module I, motion transmission module II, energy conversion module III three parts. An electromagnetic power generation device based on road vibration energy can be installed below the speed bump, when the vehicle passes, the vibration energy generated in the up-down direction can capture the vibration energy through the energy input module I, and under the driving of the guide rod 2, it is converted into the rotary motion of the ball screw 5. At the same time, under the action of the conversion transmission assembly transmission of the motion transmission module II, the one-way rotation of the rotor 25 is realized; the energy conversion module III realizes the conversion of the rotary motion of the rotor 25 to electric energy through the relative motion between the magnet 26 and the coil 27. The device ingeniously utilizes the vibration energy which is not fully utilized in daily traffic, and realizes the sustainability and efficient use of energy through energy conversion technology.

[0041] As Figure 2As shown, the energy input module I includes: upper cover plate 1, guide rod 2, partition plate 3, elastic element 4, ball screw 5, guide rod fixing frame 6, linear bearing 7; the top end of the ball screw 5 is fixed in the stepped hole in the center of the partition plate 3 by bolts and nuts, and the elastic element 4 is arranged along the ball screw 5, one end of which is connected to the partition plate 3 and the other end is connected to the middle cylinder 9, thereby forming an elastic extension structure. In addition, in order to ensure the stability of the movement, the module is also equipped with two parallel guide rods 2, the lower end of the guide rod 2 is installed on the guide rod fixing frame 6, and the upper end is embedded in the linear bearing 7, the guide rod fixing frame 6 is fixed on the middle cylinder 9 by bolts, and the linear bearing 7 is also fixed on the partition plate 3 by bolts. When the upper cover plate 1 is excited by the external environment, the upper cover plate 1 will move downward along the guide rod 2, at this time the elastic element 4 will be compressed, and the ball screw 5 will rotate, in this process the elastic element 4 plays a role in vibration reduction; when the external excitation disappears and the upper cover plate 1 reaches its limit position, the upper cover plate 1 will return to the initial position under the action of the restoring force of the elastic element 4. In this reset process, the release of the elastic force not only drives the upper cover plate 1 to rise, but also drives the ball screw 5 to rotate in the opposite direction.

[0042] As shown in Figures 3-4 , the motion transmission module II includes: upper pressure plate 8, middle cylinder 9, bearing seat 10, lower pressure plate 11, connecting shaft 12, first bevel gear 16, second bevel gear 17, third bevel gear 20, fourth bevel gear 13, first one-way bearing 14, rolling bearing 15, bevel gear shaft 18, second one-way bearing 19, third one-way bearing 21; in terms of structure, two rolling bearings 15 are arranged in the stepped hole at the top end of the middle cylinder 9, and the radial movement of the bearings is limited by the bolt connection of the upper pressure plate 8 and the middle cylinder 9. Figure 5 As shown in Figure 6 , the second one-way bearing 19 is installed at the bottom of the ball screw 5 by the fourth key connection structure 31, and then installed inside the third bevel gear 20 by the third key connection structure 30. This design can convert the movement of the ball screw 5 into the rotary motion of the first bevel gear 16 and the third bevel gear 20. At the same time, as shown in Figure 7 , the third bevel gear 20 is also connected to the connecting shaft 12 through the fifth key connection structure 32, and then the lower pressure plate 11 is connected to the lower cylinder 23 by bolts to determine the radial position of the connecting shaft 12. The third one-way bearing 21 is connected to the connecting shaft 12 through the sixth key connection structure 33, and further connected to the rotor 25 through the seventh key connection structure 34.

[0043] As shown in Figures 8-9As shown, the energy conversion module III includes: a support frame 22, a lower cylinder 23, a base plate 24, a rotor 25, magnets 26, and coils 27. Structurally, the lower cylinder 23 and the base plate 24 are connected by bolts. Eight magnets 26 are evenly embedded on the outer surface of the rotor 25, and to increase the rate of change of magnetic flux, adjacent magnets are arranged in an alternating polarity. Eight coils are installed on the inner surface of the lower cylinder at the same center height as the rotor magnets. The rotor 25 is connected to the connecting shaft 12 via a third one-way bearing 21. When the connecting shaft 12 rotates, it drives the rotor 25 and its built-in magnets 26 to rotate. According to the principle of electromagnetic induction, during the rotation of the rotor 25, the coils 27 cut the magnetic field lines around the magnets 26, thereby generating an induced current in the coils 27.

[0044] like Figure 10 As shown, the operation of this device involves two states and two stages. In the initial state, i.e., state I, the device is static, and the elastic element 4 is in a pre-compressed state. When an external force is applied to the upper cover plate 1, the elastic element 4 is compressed, and the upper cover plate 1 moves downward along the two guide rods 2, driving the ball screw 5 to rotate. This process is called stage I. Limited by the maximum displacement of the upper cover plate 1 and the maximum deformation of the elastic element 4, the upper cover plate 1 can reach the limit position defined as state II. Subsequently, when the applied force is released, the elastic potential energy of the elastic element 4 is released, causing the upper cover plate 1 to move vertically upward, and the elastic element 4 returns to the pre-compressed state. This process is called stage II. The two stages illustrate the operation of the device.

[0045] like Figures 11-12 The diagram shown illustrates the working principle of the motion transmission module during operation. Figure 11 As shown, when the upper cover plate 1 moves downward in stage I, the ball screw 5 rotates clockwise (top view). Since the first bevel gear 16 and the third bevel gear 20 are respectively equipped with a first one-way bearing 14 and a second one-way bearing 19, and the first one-way bearing 14 and the second one-way bearing 19 rotate in opposite directions, at this time the first one-way bearing 14 rotates, the second one-way bearing 19 locks, and the second one-way bearing 19 drives the third bevel gear 20 to rotate clockwise as the driving gear (top view). Under the action of the key connection, the connecting shaft 12 and the rotor 25 connected to it also rotate clockwise with the third bevel gear 20 (top view); Figure 12As shown, in stage II, when the upper cover plate 1 moves upward after the external force is removed, the ball screw 5 rotates counterclockwise (from the top view), at this time, the second one-way bearing 19 rotates, the first one-way bearing 14 is locked, the first one-way bearing 14 drives the first bevel gear 16 to become a driving gear, rotates counterclockwise (from the top view), under the driving of the meshing of the second bevel gear 17 and the fourth bevel gear 13, the third bevel gear 20 rotates clockwise again (from the top view), therefore, the connecting shaft 12 and the rotor 25 connected therewith still keep rotating clockwise (from the top view). Through the above mechanism, no matter the ball screw 5 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise (from the top view), the rotor 25 always keeps rotating in the clockwise direction (from the top view).

[0046] The electromagnetic power generation device based on vibration energy has the advantages of high energy conversion efficiency, convenient installation, compact structure, wide application range and the like.

[0047] The non-exhaustive parts of the utility model are the conventional technical means known by the skilled in the art.

[0049] The above-described embodiments are only preferred modes for describing the utility model, and do not limit the scope of the utility model, under the premise of not departing from the design spirit of the utility model, various deformations and improvements on the technical scheme of the utility model made by the skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope determined by the claims of the utility model.
