First frictional layer or the second frictional layer can adopt electric conducting material to prepare, and can play the effect of electrode layer and frictional layer so simultaneously, and the first frictional layer or the second frictional layer replace the first electrode layer or the second electrode lay.Fig. 3 is the structural representation of the first frictional layer employing electric conducting material of generator, first frictional layer 101(or the first electrode layer) upper surface be set directly at the lower surface of first substrate 103, flexible connector 301 is fixed on the lower surface of first substrate 103 and the upper surface of second substrate 203, first frictional layer 101 and the second frictional layer 201 are arranged face-to-face, and the distance between first substrate 103 and second substrate 203 can be made under external force to change, the first frictional layer 101 lower surface and the second frictional layer 201 upper surface are contacting and separating.The trigger end 405 of vibroswitch is fixed on the edge of first substrate 103, and one end of Elastic Oscillator 402 is connected with earth potential.The miscellaneous part of generator and the identical of previous embodiment, no longer repeat at this.When the edge of trigger end 405 impact resilience oscillator 402, Elastic Oscillator 402 vibrates, and can alternately come in contact with the first contact jaw 403 and the second contact jaw 404, the first electrode layer 102 is alternately communicated with earth potential with the second electrode lay 202, exports alternation electrical signal.Described above is the electric generator structure that the first frictional layer adopts electric conducting material, the second frictional layer adopts non-conducting material, adopts the electric generator structure of non-conducting material, the second frictional layer employing electric conducting material similar, no longer repeat here for the first frictional layer.
In this exemplifying embodiment, except the first frictional layer or the second frictional layer need to use electric conducting material, the Material selec-tion of generator each several part and identical in Fig. 1 embodiment, here no longer repeat.Meanwhile, the first frictional layer of conduction or the second frictional layer serve the effect of the first electrode layer or the second electrode lay simultaneously.At the first frictional layer 101 of generator relative in the second frictional layer 201 reciprocating motion, the way of contact of vibration type switch, the electricity generating principle of generator are identical with foregoing teachings, no longer repeat here.
Below for the electric generator structure shown in Fig. 3, introduce the operation principle of vibroswitch formula friction generator of the present invention.In Fig. 4, (a)-(h) is the operation principle schematic diagram of vibroswitch formula friction generator.The conductive layer 111 being arranged on first substrate 103 lower surface is the first electrode layer is also the first frictional layer.At first, when first substrate 103 is subject to downward active force, drive the first frictional layer 111 to move towards the second frictional layer 201, when the first frictional layer/electrode layer 111 contacts with the second frictional layer 203, produce triboelectric charge on the surface of two frictional layers.Be in the position of the corrigendum of frictional series table with the material of the first frictional layer 111, the more negative position that the material of the second frictional layer 201 is in frictional series table is example.Therefore, when the first frictional layer 111 lower surface contacts with the second frictional layer 201 upper surface, the lower surface of the first frictional layer 111 produces positive contact electric charge, and the upper surface of the second frictional layer 201 produces negative contact electric charge.Now, because positive and negative contact electric charge is not separated in vertical direction, therefore in the position away from frictional layer contact-making surface, the electric field that positive and negative charge produces is cancelled out each other, first electrode layer 111(i.e. the first frictional layer) and the second electrode lay 202 between do not produce electrical potential difference, as shown in (a) in Fig. 4.Trigger end 405 moves together along with first substrate, and collides with Elastic Oscillator 402, makes it produce vibration.When external force is recalled, the first frictional layer 111 is separated with the second frictional layer 201, produces positive and negative potential to ground respectively poor at the first electrode layer 111 and the second electrode lay 202.When Elastic Oscillator 402 contacts the first contact jaw 403, the first electrode layer 111 is communicated with the earth, and the positive charge on the first electrode layer 111 flows to the earth, produces positive current; Due to the negative potential that the negative electrical charge on the second frictional layer 201 produces, when reaching electricity balance, the first electrode layer 111 still has part positive charge, as shown in (b) in Fig. 4.When Elastic Oscillator 402 contacts the second contact jaw 404, the second electrode lay 202 is communicated with the earth, and the negative electrical charge on the second electrode lay 202 flows to the earth, produces negative current, makes the second electrode lay 202 produces positive charge; Due to the positive potential that the positive charge on the first frictional layer 111 produces, when reaching electricity balance, the quantity of electric charge of the second electrode lay 102 is less than the quantity of electric charge on the second frictional layer 201, as shown in (c) in Fig. 4.After this, along with Elastic Oscillator 402 replaces contact first contact jaw 403 and the second contact jaw 404, positive current and negative current alternately produce, after multiple-contact, reach final electricity balance, now, the quantity of electric charge on the first frictional layer 111 is zero, the quantity of the positive charge on the second electrode lay 202 is identical with the quantity of negative electrical charge on the second frictional layer 201, as shown in (d) in Fig. 4.Subsequently, when first substrate 103 is subject to downward active force, first substrate 103 moves downward, and the distance between the first frictional layer 111 and the second frictional layer 203 reduces gradually.Distance d between the first frictional layer 111 lower surface and the second frictional layer 201 upper surface much larger than the second frictional layer 201 thickness d 1(second frictional layer upper and lower surface between distance) time, the potential to ground of the first electrode layer 111 and the second electrode lay 202 is approximately zero, now, when Elastic Oscillator 402 contacts with 404 with two contact jaws 403, not generation current, as shown in (e) in Fig. 4.After the first frictional layer 111 contacts the second frictional layer 201, the first electrode layer 111 and the second electrode lay 202 produce negative poor with positive potential to ground respectively.When Elastic Oscillator 402 contacts the first contact jaw 403, the first electrode layer 112 is communicated with the earth, produces negative current, as shown in (f) in Fig. 4.When Elastic Oscillator 402 contacts the second contact jaw 404, the second electrode lay 202 is communicated with the earth, produces positive current, as shown in (g) in Fig. 4.Along with Elastic Oscillator 402 replaces contact first contact jaw 403 and the second contact jaw 404, negative current and positive current alternately produce, and after multiple-contact, reach final electricity balance, as shown in (h) in Fig. 4.Arrive this, generator completes a generating cycle.Along with the effect of external periodic force, generator produces alternating current along the cyclic process shown in (a)-(h) in Fig. 4 and exports.
