Abstract

Provided is a piezoelectric power generator that has an overall compact size and in which a plurality of piezoelectric elements having a low natural frequency of vibration and that generate a large amount of power can be arranged in a compact manner. A piezoelectric power generator A includes a first piezoelectric element 2 and a second piezoelectric element 4, which each have a cantilever structure, fixed to the top of two opposing side walls 11 and 12 of a housing 1. The first piezoelectric element 2 and the second piezoelectric element 4 are arranged so as to oppose each other in an alternating manner and respectively have a first weight 3 and a second weight 5 joined to free ends thereof. Unused spaces formed below the fixed end sides of the piezoelectric elements 2 and 4 are used as spaces in which the weights 3 and 5 can move by positioning one of the weights under the fixed end side of the other of the piezoelectric elements.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a piezoelectric power generating device that generates power using the piezoelectric effect, and more particularly, to a piezoelectric power generating device that uses a power generating element of a cantilever (cantilever beam) structure. Background technique [0002] like Figure 17 As shown, Patent Document 1 discloses a piezoelectric power generator having a cantilever structure in which one end of a power generating element 100 is fixed to a fixing member 101 and a spindle 102 is attached to the other free end. The power generating element 100 is an element in which piezoelectric elements 104 and 105 are pasted on both sides of a metal plate 103. When the piezoelectric element 100 is viewed from above, it has an isosceles triangle shape whose width gradually narrows from the fixed end to the free end. In this case, the bending stress applied to the piezoelectric element 100 can be equalized in the longitudinal dir...
