Piezoelectric energy harvesting device for bus

Abstract

The invention relates to a piezoelectric energy harvesting device for a bus. The piezoelectric energy harvesting device comprises a plurality of cantilever beams of piezoelectric vibrators, the cantilever beams are horizontally and parallelly arranged, the ends of the cantilever beams on one side share a mass block (3), the mass block is connected with a lever (5) and used for increasing inertia of the piezoelectric vibrators and transferring stress, the lever leads out vibration, piezoelectric ceramic pieces (2) are positioned on the upper side and the lower side of a cantilever beam substrate (1), the piezoelectric ceramic pieces (2) and the substrate (1) are adhered through conductive adhesives, so that weak mechanical energy in an environment is converted into electric energy, a piezoelectric energy storage device comprises a voltage reduction circuit, a rectifier circuit, a filter circuit and a protection circuit, and stable direct current used or stored by loads is obtained when unstable current generated by the piezoelectric vibrators flows through each regulating circuit. The stored energy can be used for low-power instruments such as a bus detector, an electronic display guideboard, a self-service ticketing device and front-rear television inspection systems, energy-saving effects are achieved, and the piezoelectric energy harvesting device is simple in structure.
