Detailed Implementation

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, a piezoelectric energy conversion power supply device for power supply of passenger compartment in rail transit includes a top cover 1, a bottom shell 2, and a piezoelectric ceramic 7. Several mounting cylinders 5 are fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the bottom shell 2. The top cover 1 is connected to the mounting cylinders 5 by several mounting screws 4. Four circumferentially distributed limiting blocks 8 are fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the bottom shell 2. The piezoelectric ceramic 7 is slidably disposed in the four limiting blocks 8.

[0028] The top cover 1 has a foot block groove, and a foot block 3 is slidably connected to the inner side wall of the foot block groove. A fixing cylinder 15 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the top cover 1. An impact block 14 is provided inside the fixing cylinder 15. The impact block 14 abuts against the piezoelectric ceramic 7. An electronic component 6 is provided inside the bottom shell 2. The piezoelectric ceramic 7 is electrically connected to the electronic component 6.

[0029] The device is placed under the floor of the subway passenger compartment. When a passenger steps on the floor of the subway passenger compartment, the floor will deform slightly, causing the stepping block 3 to fall. The stepping block 3 falls and hits the impact block 14, which in turn falls and hits the piezoelectric ceramic 7. When the piezoelectric ceramic 7 is subjected to mechanical pressure transmitted from the impact block 14, the electric dipole inside it will be polarized based on the piezoelectric effect, resulting in bound charges of opposite signs on the two ends of the surface, thereby converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. The generated electrical energy is stored in the energy storage battery through a full-bridge rectifier circuit and a DC-DC converter. The electrical energy in the energy storage battery can be used to power the indicator lights in the car or charge the display, realizing the effective conversion and utilization of mechanical energy into electrical energy.

[0030] In one embodiment, the fixed cylinder 15 is provided with threads on its periphery, and the fixed cylinder 15 is threadedly connected to a threaded cap 16. The impact block 14 is fixedly connected to a sliding ring 17 on its periphery. The sliding ring 17 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 15, and the impact block 14 is slidably connected to the threaded cap 16 through it.

[0031] When the device needs to be disassembled for maintenance after a long period of time, the mounting screws 4 can be removed first, and then the top cover 1 and the bottom shell 2 can be separated. When the impact block 14 needs to be maintained or replaced, the threaded cover 16 can be rotated first to release the thread lock between the threaded cover 16 and the fixed cylinder 15, and then the impact block 14 can be removed to complete the disassembly and replacement. To replace it, simply rotate and tighten the threaded cover 16 and the fixed cylinder 15 again. The operation is simple and quick.

[0032] In one embodiment, a spring is fixedly connected between the foot block 3 and the inner wall of the foot block groove.

[0033] In one embodiment, a spring is provided between the threaded cap 16 and the sliding ring 17.

[0034] Springs are installed between the step block and the inner wall of the step block groove, as well as between the threaded cover and the sliding ring. These springs can buffer the movement of the step block and the impact block, reduce rigid collisions between parts, and extend the service life of the device.

[0035] In one embodiment, a support plate 9 is slidably disposed within the four limiting blocks 8, and the support plate 9 is located below the piezoelectric ceramic 7. The piezoelectric ceramic 7 can be lifted by the support plate 9, making it easy to remove the piezoelectric ceramic 7 from the four limiting blocks 8.

[0036] In one embodiment, two symmetrical fixed seats 10 are fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the bottom shell 2. The fixed seats 10 are connected to a rotating shaft 13 via bearings. A ceramic positioning rod 11 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 13. One end of the ceramic positioning rod 11 abuts against the piezoelectric ceramic 7, and the other end is fixedly connected to a pressing rod 12. A coil spring is provided between the rotating shaft 13 and the fixed seat 10.

[0037] When the piezoelectric ceramic 7 needs to be replaced, simply press the two pressing rods 12 with two fingers of one hand. The two pressing rods 12 drive the ceramic positioning rod 11 to rotate, releasing the limit on the piezoelectric ceramic 7 and removing the piezoelectric ceramic 7 from the four limit blocks 8. Then, subsequent replacement and maintenance can be carried out. The operation is quick and convenient.

[0038] After placing the new piezoelectric ceramic 7 into the limiting block 8, release the two fingers. The ceramic positioning rod 11 will reset under the action of the coil spring, thus completing the limiting of the piezoelectric ceramic 7.

[0039] In one embodiment, electronic component 6 includes a full-bridge rectifier circuit, a converter, and an energy storage battery.

[0040] The above embodiments disclose a piezoelectric energy conversion power supply device for powering passenger compartments in rail transit. Its specific working principle and process are as follows:

[0041] S1: The device is placed under the floor of the subway passenger compartment. When a passenger steps on the floor of the subway passenger compartment, the floor will deform slightly, causing the stepping block 3 to fall. The stepping block 3 falls and hits the impact block 14, which in turn causes the impact block 14 to fall and hit the piezoelectric ceramic 7. When the piezoelectric ceramic 7 is subjected to mechanical pressure transmitted from the impact block 14, the electric dipole inside it is polarized based on the piezoelectric effect, resulting in bound charges with opposite signs on the two ends of the surface, thereby converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. The generated electrical energy is stored in the energy storage battery through a full-bridge rectifier circuit and a DC-DC converter. The electrical energy in the energy storage battery can be used to power the indicator lights in the car or to charge the display, realizing the effective conversion and utilization of mechanical energy into electrical energy.

[0042] S2: When the device needs to be disassembled for maintenance after a long period of time, the mounting screws 4 can be removed first, and then the top cover 1 and the bottom shell 2 can be separated. When the impact block 14 needs to be maintained or replaced, the threaded cover 16 can be rotated first to release the thread lock between the threaded cover 16 and the fixed cylinder 15, and then the impact block 14 can be taken out to complete the disassembly and replacement. To replace it, simply rotate and tighten the threaded cover 16 and the fixed cylinder 15 again. The operation is simple and quick.

[0043] S3: When it is necessary to replace the piezoelectric ceramic 7, simply press the two pressing rods 12 with two fingers of one hand. The two pressing rods 12 drive the ceramic positioning rod 11 to rotate, releasing the limit on the piezoelectric ceramic 7. Then, lift the piezoelectric ceramic 7 with the support plate 9 to easily remove the piezoelectric ceramic 7 from the four limit blocks 8. After that, subsequent replacement and maintenance can be carried out. The operation is quick and convenient.

[0044] After placing the new piezoelectric ceramic 7 into the limiting block 8, release the two fingers. The ceramic positioning rod 11 will reset under the action of the coil spring, thus completing the limiting of the piezoelectric ceramic 7.

[0045] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
