Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of triboelectric nanogenerators, and more particularly to a floating raft-type triboelectric nanogenerator based on a chain-structure connection. Background Technology

[0002] With rapid socio-economic development, human demand for energy is increasing, as is the consumption of non-renewable energy sources. Oil shortages and environmental pollution have become global challenges. New energy sources, such as wind, wave, and solar power, are receiving increasing attention from researchers. Human demand for energy is rising significantly, and traditional energy sources will struggle to meet this demand.

[0003] Existing wave energy utilization methods include electromagnetic power generation, piezoelectric power generation, and triboelectric power generation. Electromagnetic generators produce current by driving a generator coil through a transmission structure to cut magnetic field lines. While they exhibit excellent energy harvesting characteristics in high-frequency environments, they are poorly adapted to the low-frequency characteristics of waves. Furthermore, they suffer from high manufacturing costs and difficult maintenance. Piezoelectric generators, based on the positive piezoelectric effect, offer stable output in low-frequency environments, but their structural design has limitations. These limitations significantly restrict their application and development in the field of wave energy harvesting.

[0004] In 2012, Academician Wang Zhonglin invented the triboelectric nanogenerator, whose working principle is based on the coupling of triboelectric effect and electrostatic induction effect. When two different materials come into contact with each other under the drive of an external force, the surfaces of the two materials will induce electrostatic charges of opposite polarity and equal magnitude. When the two contact surfaces separate under the action of an external force, the potential difference generated by the separation of the two electrostatic charges will drive electrons to flow between the surface electrodes attached to the two materials respectively, thereby generating current output. Triboelectric nanogenerators have significant advantages such as small size and light weight, flexible structural design, simple fabrication and a wide range of material choices. Therefore, the use of triboelectric nanogenerators to harvest wave energy has become a research hotspot in recent years.

[0005] However, existing energy harvesting devices based on the principle of triboelectricity have many problems, such as: 1. The energy harvesting efficiency of the energy harvesting device is very low in low-frequency and high-entropy environments; 2. In the process of energy harvesting, the mutual friction between materials leads to a short lifespan; 3. Wave energy harvesting devices are rarely used in array integration.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a triboelectric nanogenerator energy harvesting device with long durability, high structural flexibility, high energy conversion efficiency, and network-compatible applications in low-frequency environments. Utility Model Content

[0033] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, the networked chain-type floating raft triboelectric nanogenerator and energy harvester provided in this disclosure have the following beneficial effects:

[0034] 1. Because the weight below the pendulum in the oscillating structure is greater than the weight above, a mass difference is formed between the upper and lower parts. Under the action of external low-frequency excitation, the two pairs of oscillating mechanisms will oscillate back and forth around the steel shaft axis, thereby converting the external low-frequency irregular energy into the mechanical energy of the oscillating mechanism. A metal interdigitated electrode layer is provided on the inner surface of the raft-shaped shell, and the soft contact friction layer is vertically fixed in the gap of the metal interdigitated electrode layer. The oscillating mechanism has a gap between its base plate layer and the metal interdigitated electrode layer to reduce frictional resistance. The base plate layer itself carries a charge or generates a charge during the oscillation process with the oscillating structure. Due to the electrostatic induction between the base plate layer and the metal interdigitated electrodes, a potential difference is formed, generating current output. Low-frequency irregular external excitation can make the oscillating structure oscillate back and forth, prolonging the power generation time and improving the average output power and energy conversion efficiency of the triboelectric nanogenerator.

[0035] 2. In one embodiment, during the excited oscillation process, the bottom plate layer of the oscillation mechanism comes into contact with the soft contact friction layer, thereby generating an electric charge; the oscillation mechanism reciprocates and oscillates, continuously generating an electric charge, which can improve the output power; the friction between the bottom plate layer and the soft contact layer results in low frictional resistance, which can extend the service life.

[0036] 3. In one embodiment, three triboelectric nanogenerators are vertically arranged inside the arc-shaped cavity of the rolling power generation device. A metal electrode is fixed on the partition, and several dielectric balls that have been sanded are placed on top of it. The balls roll and rub against the arc-shaped metal electrode, which can increase the friction area and thus improve the output efficiency.

[0037] 4. In one embodiment, the boss of the swing rod in the synchronization structure is placed in the semi-circular annular groove on the outside of the raft shell, and the bosses on both sides are fixed with the boss at the shaft end, so that the two steel shafts rotate at the same frequency and the swing structure swings in the same direction, which can improve the energy utilization rate and enhance the stability of the device.

[0038] 5. In one embodiment, the connection structure between different raft shells adopts a chain structure connection. The connection structure is prepared by 3D printer, which makes the structure easier to process and lowers the cost. The chain connection can improve the flexibility of the collection device, increase the feasibility of distributed networking, and improve the energy capture efficiency.

[0039] 6. By setting up a modular raft shell, the area of ​​the power generation unit of the triboelectric nanogenerator is increased, thereby increasing the power generation efficiency. The raft shell can easily float on the sea surface, which is more conducive to collecting the energy generated by waves. It has high stability and high durability and has broad application prospects.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0060] In some embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 1 As shown, this utility model proposes a networked chain-type floating raft triboelectric nanogenerator structure. The generator includes: a raft shell, a swinging power generation unit, a rolling power generation unit, a connection structure, and a synchronization structure. The raft shell 1 includes a four-part combined shell 101-104 and two raft shell end caps 105. The swinging power generation unit inside the shell includes two steel shafts 501, bearings 502, swing plates 503, a base plate 504, a dielectric film 505, a soft contact friction layer 4, and a metal interdigitated electrode layer 7. The rolling power generation unit includes an arc-shaped cavity 601, a dielectric film 602, an arc-shaped partition 603, a metal electrode 604, dielectric spheres 605, and a cavity cover plate 606.

[0061] In some embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 2 As shown, the raft shell 1 is entirely 3D printed from polylactic acid, and the modular raft shells are assembled to form the raft cavity; as... Figure 3 As shown, a bearing 502 is provided in the middle of the raft-type outer shell end cover 105. The bearing 502 is a sealed ceramic ball bearing. The steel shaft 501 passes through the bearing 502, the swing structure 5, and the rolling structure 6, fixing the bearing 502 to the raft-type outer shell end cover. The metal interdigital electrode layer 7 is fixed on the inner surface of the raft-type outer shell. The soft contact friction layer 4 is vertically fixed in the gap of the metal interdigital electrode layer 7. There is a certain distance between the metal interdigital electrode layer 7 and the base plate 504. A dielectric film 505 is attached to the bottom of the base plate 504. Charge is generated during the contact, friction, and swinging process between the base plate 504 and the soft contact friction layer 4.

[0062] In some embodiments of this disclosure, there is a gap between the base plate and the metal interdigitated electrode layer. Preferably, the gap is 0.5mm-2mm, which ensures that there is almost no resistance between the base plate layer and the metal interdigitated electrode layer when the mechanism is subjected to external excitation. There is slight friction between the base plate layer and the soft contact friction layer, which reduces wear.

[0063] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the dielectric film of the substrate layer is made of an electronegative material, and the dielectric film and the interdigitated metal electrode layer are made of materials with a large difference in electron gain and loss capacity. In order to improve the surface charge density, the soft contact friction layer is generally made of animal fur, polymer film materials such as rabbit hair, fluorinated isopropylene (FEP), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), etc. Rabbit hair is preferred because it is more convenient to use and inexpensive. The metal electrode is made of copper film, aluminum film, silver film or metal film material with good conductivity. Optionally, the thickness of the metal electrode is 50nm-1mm. There is slight friction with the dielectric film of the substrate layer to reduce resistance.

Under the action of external excitation, the swing mechanism swings, and the dielectric film of the base plate layer and the soft contact friction layer rub against each other to generate charge. After repeated friction, the surface charge reaches saturation. Then, due to electrostatic induction, induced charge is generated between the base plate layer and the metal interdigital electrode layer. During the continued swinging process, a potential difference is formed, thereby generating current.

[0067] In some embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 4 As shown, the rolling power generation unit includes an arc-shaped cavity 601, dielectric microspheres 605, and arc-shaped partitions 604. The bottom surface of the arc-shaped cavity 601 has an arc-shaped structure with grooves on the inner side, which can fix the partitions in the grooves. The cavity is fixed on a steel shaft. A metal electrode layer 603 is attached to the lower part of the dielectric film 602 and connected to an external circuit by wires. The metal electrodes are attached to the upper surface of each arc-shaped partition. The dielectric microspheres 605 are placed on the dielectric film 602. The arc-shaped cavity 601 has arc-shaped partitions on the top and bottom to separate several dielectric microspheres 605. A cavity cover plate 606 forms a closed arc-shaped cavity to prevent the dielectric microspheres 605 from falling out. The triboelectric nano-power generation unit is located inside the raft-type outer shell and inside the arc-shaped cavity.

[0068] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the arc-shaped cavity and arc-shaped partition are 3D printed and made of polylactic acid. The dielectric film is a polymer material or a semiconductor material with a high dielectric constant. The dielectric sphere 4 is a polymer sphere with a diameter of 4 mm to 10 mm. The polymer sphere can be made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or the like. The surface of the dielectric sphere is polished.

[0069] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the cavity cover is made of acrylic sheet and is fixed to the arc-shaped cavity to prevent the dielectric ball from falling out during rolling. The rolling structure is fixed on the steel shaft and is evenly distributed between the two swing plates. During the swinging process, the dielectric ball rolls freely in the arc-shaped cavity.

[0070] In some embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 5 As shown in Figure 6, Figure 5 The connecting structure 2 is used for connecting the raft shells to each other, including a U-shaped plate 201, a connecting bearing 203, a chain plate 202, and a chain plate end cap 204; the raft body has U-shaped plates 201 on both sides of the connecting part, and a circular boss 205 is provided on the outside of the plate, which cooperates with the connecting bearing 203 and is connected by the chain plate 202, so that the raft bodies can swing freely.

The raft bodies can swing freely through the chain plate connection, converting low-frequency wave energy into swing energy; optionally, the U-shaped plates, chain plates, and chain plate end caps are all made of polylactic acid.

[0072] In some embodiments of this disclosure, a synchronization structure is located outside the raft housing to prevent the two swinging structures from colliding and affecting output efficiency. It includes a shaft-end ring, a shaft-end cap, and a swing rod. The shaft-end ring is fixed to the housing end cap, and the shaft-end cap is fixed to the shaft end.

A semi-circular annular groove is provided on the outside of the raft housing, and the middle boss cooperates with the groove. Optionally, the shaft-end ring, shaft-end cap, and swing rod are all made of polylactic acid.

[0073] In practical applications, the materials for the different components in the above structures can be appropriately varied and modified, and are not limited to the materials and size ranges listed in this embodiment.

[0074] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the networked chain floating raft triboelectric nanogenerator, under the excitation of low-frequency wave energy, transforms irregular mechanical excitation into regular oscillating energy, increases the area of ​​the power generation unit, prolongs the friction time, and improves the power generation output efficiency.
