In this embodiment, the piezoelectric film 1112 is any one of a piezoelectric polymer film, a composite piezoelectric film, a piezoelectric crystal, or a piezoelectric ceramic sheet material.
The encapsulation layer 112 is a flexible insulating material, and wraps the outer surface of the piezoelectric layer 111 to prevent the piezoelectric layer 111 from leaking electricity. In this embodiment, the encapsulation layer 112 is made of polymer material such as polytetrafluoroethylene or parylene.
The piezoelectric unit 11 is attached to the surface of the heart 201 of the user, the packaging layer 112 is in contact with the surface of the heart, and the piezoelectric film 1112 deforms along with the contraction and the relaxation of the heart 201, so that the piezoelectric unit 11 generates alternating current, and the mechanical energy generated by the heart 201 is converted into electric energy.
The balloon unit 12 includes a balloon 121 and a delivery tube 122.
The balloon 121 has a cavity 1211, and the balloon 121 is packed between the piezoelectric unit 11 and the pericardium 202.
One end of the delivery tube 122 is communicated with the cavity 1211, and the other end is communicated with a syringe (not shown in the figure), during the implantation operation, an operator uses the syringe to inflate or deflate the cavity 1211 through the delivery tube 122, and adjusts the size of the balloon 121 to adjust the distance between the piezoelectric unit 11 and the heart 201, so that the mechanical energy generated by the heart 201 due to contraction and relaxation is transmitted to the piezoelectric film 1112 as much as possible, and the conversion rate of the mechanical energy of the piezoelectric unit 11 to the electric energy is higher. The gas filled into the balloon 121 by the syringe may be any one of nitrogen, helium or carbon dioxide.

The rectifying unit 21 is attached to the balloon 121, electrically connected to the first electrode plate 1111 and the second electrode plate 1113 of the piezoelectric unit 11, and configured to convert the ac power output from the piezoelectric unit 11 into dc power and output the dc power.
In this embodiment, the rectifying unit 21 outputs a direct current with a voltage of 1V to 10V and a current of 1mA to 10mA every time the heart 201 of the user completes systole and diastole.
The storage unit 22 is a capacitor. The storage unit 22 is attached to the balloon 121, electrically connected to the rectifying unit 21, and can store electric energy of the direct current output from the rectifying unit 21.

When the heart 201 contracts, the piezoelectric unit 11 located between the balloon 121 and the heart 201 is released, and the piezoelectric film 1112 of the piezoelectric unit 11 is restored from the deformation. The piezoelectric film 1112 deforms and recovers, so that a potential difference is generated between the first electrode plate 1111 and the second electrode plate 1113, and the piezoelectric unit 11 outputs alternating current to convert mechanical energy generated by the heart 201 due to contraction and relaxation into electric energy. The rectifying unit 21 converts the alternating current output from the piezoelectric unit 11 into direct current, and outputs the direct current to the storage unit 22. The control unit 23 controls the storage unit 22 to output corresponding current according to the rated power of the implanted electrical appliance connected to the storage unit 22, so as to continuously supply power to the implanted electrical appliance.
