Description
本発明は、振動を利用した発電装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a power generation device using vibration.
振動を利用した発電技術としては、圧電素子を利用した発電方法がよく知られている。圧電素子を利用した発電方法の多くは、圧電素子に何らかの方法で外部から力を加えることにより、圧電素子を変形させて発電するものである。 As a power generation technique using vibration, a power generation method using a piezoelectric element is well known. Many of the power generation methods using piezoelectric elements are to generate power by deforming the piezoelectric elements by applying external force to the piezoelectric elements in some way.
圧電素子を利用した発電方法としては、例えば、下記特許文献１に記載のものがある。すなわち、下記特許文献１では、音による空気の圧力変動を利用して圧電素子により発電する音力発電装置、および、振動による圧力変動を利用して圧電素子により発電する振動力発電装置が記載されている。 As a power generation method using a piezoelectric element, for example, there is a method described in Patent Document 1 below. That is, the following Patent Document 1 describes a sound power generation device that generates electric power with a piezoelectric element using fluctuations in air pressure due to sound, and a vibration power generation device that generates electric power with piezoelectric elements using pressure fluctuations caused by vibration. ing.
また圧電素子に代えて磁歪素子を利用した発電方法も提案されている。磁歪素子を利用した発電方法としては、例えば、下記特許文献２に記載のものがある。
図６は、下記特許文献２に記載の振動を利用した発電素子の構成例を示す図である。すなわち、図６（ａ）は、下記特許文献２に示された発電素子の構成を示す上面図、図６（ｂ）は、下記特許文献２に示された発電素子の構成を示す側面図である。
A power generation method using a magnetostrictive element instead of a piezoelectric element has also been proposed. As a power generation method using a magnetostrictive element, for example, there is a method described in Patent Document 2 below.
FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of a power generation element using vibration described in Patent Document 2 below. That is, FIG. 6A is a top view showing the configuration of the power generation element shown in Patent Document 2 below, and FIG. 6B is a side view showing the configuration of the power generation element shown in Patent Document 2 below. is there.
図６において発電素子１００は、連結ヨーク１００ａおよび１００ｂと、磁歪棒１１０ａおよび１１０ｂと、コイル１２０ａおよび１２０ｂと、永久磁石１４０ａおよび１４０ｂと、パッシブヨーク１５０とを備えて構成されている。 In FIG. 6, the power generating element 100 includes connecting yokes 100 a and 100 b, magnetostrictive rods 110 a and 110 b, coils 120 a and 120 b, permanent magnets 140 a and 140 b, and a passive yoke 150.
図７は、図６に示した発電素子による発電装置の構成例を示す図である。すなわち図６に示した発電素子を片持ち梁構成として発電装置を構成したものである。図７において発電装置は、発電素子１００の連結ヨーク１００ａを固定部材で固定した片持ち梁構成とし、連結ヨーク１００ｂに曲げ応力Ｐを印加することにより、磁歪棒１１０ａおよび１１０ｂが曲げ変形される。これにより磁歪棒１１０ａおよび１１０ｂに発生する逆磁歪効果により、コイル１２０ａおよび１２０ｂ（図６参照）を貫く磁束が変化することで、コイル１２０ａおよび１２０ｂに誘導電圧（または誘導電流）が発生する。これにより、発電素子１００に振動を印加することで発電が可能となるものである。 FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the power generation device using the power generation element illustrated in FIG. 6. That is, the power generation device is configured with the power generation element shown in FIG. 6 as a cantilever structure. In FIG. 7, the power generation device has a cantilever structure in which the connecting yoke 100a of the power generating element 100 is fixed by a fixing member, and the bending stress P is applied to the connecting yoke 100b, whereby the magnetostrictive rods 110a and 110b are bent and deformed. As a result, the magnetic flux passing through the coils 120a and 120b (see FIG. 6) changes due to the inverse magnetostrictive effect generated in the magnetostrictive rods 110a and 110b, so that an induced voltage (or induced current) is generated in the coils 120a and 120b. As a result, power can be generated by applying vibration to the power generation element 100.
特許文献１に記載された圧電素子を利用する発電方法では、圧電素子を構成する圧電材料が脆性材料であり、曲げや衝撃に対して弱い材料である。そのため過度に力を加えることができず、発電量を増加させるために大きな曲げや衝撃を加えることが難しいという問題がある。また、圧電素子は低周波でインピーダンスが高く、圧電素子より低いインピーダンスを有する負荷を接続した際に、負荷に発生する電圧が小さくなるため、発電により得られる電力が小さくなり、発電の効率が低いという問題がある。 In the power generation method using the piezoelectric element described in Patent Document 1, the piezoelectric material constituting the piezoelectric element is a brittle material and is a material that is weak against bending and impact. For this reason, there is a problem that it is difficult to apply excessive bending and impact in order to increase the amount of power generation because excessive force cannot be applied. In addition, the piezoelectric element has a high impedance at a low frequency, and when a load having a lower impedance than that of the piezoelectric element is connected, the voltage generated in the load is small, so the power obtained by power generation is small and the power generation efficiency is low. There is a problem.
一方、特許文献２に記載された磁歪棒１１０ａおよび１１０ｂを構成する磁歪材料は、延性材料であり、圧電材料に比べて曲げや衝撃に強いため、大きな曲げや衝撃を加えることで発電量を増加させることが可能である。また素子のインピーダンスが圧電材料よりも低いことから、インピーダンスの低い負荷の接続による発電効率の低下が少ないため特許文献１に記載の圧電材料の問題点を解消することができる。 On the other hand, the magnetostrictive material composing the magnetostrictive rods 110a and 110b described in Patent Document 2 is a ductile material and is more resistant to bending and impact than the piezoelectric material. Therefore, power generation is increased by applying large bending and impact. It is possible to make it. Further, since the impedance of the element is lower than that of the piezoelectric material, the problem of the piezoelectric material described in Patent Document 1 can be solved because there is little decrease in power generation efficiency due to connection of a load with low impedance.
しかしながら、特許文献２に記載された振動発電素子は、パッシブヨーク１５０と連結ヨーク（１００ａおよび１００ｂ）とを、永久磁石（１４０ａおよび１４０ｂ）を介して接続しているので構造的な強度が不足するという問題があった。振動により磁歪部材（１１０ａおよび１１０ｂ）やパッシブヨーク１５０が伸縮することで、最悪の場合、永久磁石（１４０ａおよび１４０ｂ）との接続部分が外れてしまう可能性がある。 However, the vibration power generation element described in Patent Document 2 is insufficient in structural strength because the passive yoke 150 and the connecting yoke (100a and 100b) are connected via the permanent magnets (140a and 140b). There was a problem. In the worst case, the magnetostrictive members (110a and 110b) and the passive yoke 150 expand and contract due to vibration, and the connection portion with the permanent magnets (140a and 140b) may be disconnected.
また、磁歪部材（１１０ａおよび１１０ｂ）とパッシブヨーク１５０と連結ヨーク（１００ａおよび１００ｂ）とで構成される磁気回路の磁路中に永久磁石（１４０ａおよび１４０ｂ）があるので、永久磁石（１４０ａおよび１４０ｂ）が大きな磁気抵抗となり、振動による発電量が低下してしまう問題があった。 Further, since the permanent magnets (140a and 140b) are present in the magnetic path of the magnetic circuit composed of the magnetostrictive members (110a and 110b), the passive yoke 150, and the connecting yokes (100a and 100b), the permanent magnets (140a and 140b). ) Becomes a large magnetic resistance, and there is a problem that the amount of power generation due to vibration is reduced.
そこで本発明の目的は、上記の課題に対応して、振動を磁歪素子に与えて発電する発電装置において、構造的に堅牢で、振動による発電効率をより高めることが可能な発電装置を提供することにある。 Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a power generator that is structurally robust and that can further improve power generation efficiency due to vibration in a power generator that generates vibration by applying vibration to a magnetostrictive element in response to the above-described problems. There is.

以下、本発明の実施の形態について、詳細に説明する。
［実施形態１］
図１は、本発明の実施形態に係る発電装置の構成を示す断面図であり正面から見た図である。図１において、１ａは発電装置、１０は振動源、９aは振動源に固定されるフレーム、２ａは錘、３ａは鉄ガリウム合金や鉄コバルト合金からなる磁歪部材、４ａはヨークを構成する磁性部材、８ａはフレームに固定された支柱、７ａと７ｂは磁歪部材３ａに固着されたバイアス磁界発生用の中空形状の永久磁石、５ａは磁歪部材３ａに巻き回された磁気コイル、１１ａは磁気コイル５ａに接続された電源回路、１３は振動電力変換手段（後述する）を支柱８ａに固定するピン、１５ａと１５ｂは磁性部材４ａを磁歪部材３ａに磁気的に連結する連結部材である。
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.
[Embodiment 1]
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a configuration of a power generation device according to an embodiment of the present invention, as viewed from the front. In FIG. 1, 1a is a power generator, 10 is a vibration source, 9a is a frame fixed to the vibration source, 2a is a weight, 3a is a magnetostrictive member made of iron gallium alloy or iron cobalt alloy, and 4a is a magnetic member constituting a yoke. 8a is a support fixed to the frame, 7a and 7b are hollow permanent magnets for generating a bias magnetic field fixed to the magnetostrictive member 3a, 5a is a magnetic coil wound around the magnetostrictive member 3a, and 11a is a magnetic coil 5a. Reference numeral 13 denotes a power supply circuit, 13 is a pin for fixing an oscillating power conversion means (described later) to the column 8a, and 15a and 15b are connecting members for magnetically connecting the magnetic member 4a to the magnetostrictive member 3a.
振動源１０の矢印(図左端参照)方向の振動によりフレーム９ａおよび支柱８ａが振動することで、錘２ａと磁性部材４ａと磁歪部材３ａと磁気コイル５ａと中空部が所定の充填材(後述する)で充填されて固着された永久磁石７ａ，７ｂと第１及び第２の連結部材１５ａ，１５ｂとで構成された振動電力変換手段が以下に示す式（１）に従って振動する。 The frame 9a and the support column 8a vibrate due to the vibration of the vibration source 10 in the direction of the arrow (see the left end in the figure), so that the weight 2a, the magnetic member 4a, the magnetostrictive member 3a, the magnetic coil 5a, and the hollow portion have predetermined fillers (described later) The vibration power conversion means constituted by the permanent magnets 7a and 7b filled and fixed with the first and second connecting members 15a and 15b vibrate according to the following equation (1).
磁歪部材３ａと磁性部材４ａと中空部が所定の充填材で充填されて固着された永久磁石７ａ，７ｂと連結部材１５ａ，１５ｂとで磁気回路を構成する。振動により磁歪部材３ａに応力が加わると、逆磁歪効果により磁歪部材３ａの磁束が変化するので、これにより磁気コイル５ａに誘導電圧（または誘導電流）が発生する。 The magnetostrictive member 3a, the magnetic member 4a, and the permanent magnets 7a and 7b and the connecting members 15a and 15b in which the hollow portions are filled and fixed with a predetermined filler form a magnetic circuit. When stress is applied to the magnetostrictive member 3a by vibration, the magnetic flux of the magnetostrictive member 3a changes due to the inverse magnetostrictive effect, thereby generating an induced voltage (or induced current) in the magnetic coil 5a.
なお、図１では振動電力変換手段の一部に錘２ａを設ける構成を示しているが、図１に示す例ではピン１３で振動電力変換手段を支柱８ａに固定しているので回転方向の自由度がフリーなので錘２ａが無くても振動電力変換手段を動作させることが可能である。また、図１では磁性部材４aと磁歪部材３aを長さ方向の両端で連結部材１５a,１５bにより磁気的に接続する構成を示しているが、磁性部材４aに第１、第２の連結部を形成してなる連結ヨークを用いて磁歪部材３aを支持するようにしても良い。 1 shows a configuration in which the weight 2a is provided in a part of the vibration power conversion means. However, in the example shown in FIG. 1, the vibration power conversion means is fixed to the support column 8a by the pin 13, so that the rotation direction can be freely set. Since the degree is free, the vibration power conversion means can be operated without the weight 2a. FIG. 1 shows a configuration in which the magnetic member 4a and the magnetostrictive member 3a are magnetically connected by connecting members 15a and 15b at both ends in the length direction, but the first and second connecting portions are provided on the magnetic member 4a. The magnetostrictive member 3a may be supported using a formed connecting yoke.
ここで本発明の実施形態に係る発電装置で用いられる電源回路１１ａの構成について説明する。図５は、本発明の実施形態に係る電源回路の構成を示す図である。図５において、１１１は磁気コイル５ａ（コイル巻線）に発生する交流信号を整流する整流手段、１１２は整流手段１１１の整流信号を平滑する平滑手段、１１４は二次電池やコンデンサで構成される蓄電手段、１１５は蓄電手段１１４に蓄電した電力を出力端子１１６に出力する出力手段である。１１３は平滑手段１１２で平滑した直流電圧を蓄電手段１１４に蓄電させるとともに、蓄電手段１１４に蓄電された電力を出力手段１１５に供給する制御を行う制御手段である。 Here, the configuration of the power supply circuit 11a used in the power generator according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a configuration of the power supply circuit according to the embodiment of the present invention. 5, 111 is a rectifying means for rectifying an AC signal generated in the magnetic coil 5a (coil winding), 112 is a smoothing means for smoothing the rectified signal of the rectifying means 111, and 114 is a secondary battery or a capacitor. The power storage means 115 is an output means for outputting the power stored in the power storage means 114 to the output terminal 116. Reference numeral 113 denotes control means for controlling the DC voltage smoothed by the smoothing means 112 to be stored in the power storage means 114 and supplying the power stored in the power storage means 114 to the output means 115.
図２は、本発明の実施形態に係る発電装置の振動電力変換手段の構造を示す断面図であり、図１に示した図を上面から見た図である。図２において本発明の実施形態に係る発電装置の振動電力変換手段は、支柱８ａにピン１３で振動電力変換手段を固定し、振動電力変換手段を振り子状に振動させるものである。このように構成することで、磁歪部材３ａの軸方向と垂直な方向の振動（図１の左端の両矢視線参照）が振動電力変換手段に加えられた際に、支柱８ａの一端にピン１３により固定されている磁歪部材３ａの軸方向と垂直な方向の振動がフリーになることで振動電力変換手段が低振動周波数で動作し磁歪部材３ａが伸縮または収縮することにより発電できるので、低い振動周波数領域で発電することができる。 FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing the structure of the vibration power conversion means of the power generation apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention, and is a view of the view shown in FIG. 1 as viewed from above. In FIG. 2, the vibration power conversion means of the power generator according to the embodiment of the present invention is such that the vibration power conversion means is fixed to the support column 8a with a pin 13 and vibrates in a pendulum shape. With this configuration, when vibration in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the magnetostrictive member 3a (see the arrow at the left end in FIG. 1) is applied to the vibration power conversion means, the pin 13 is connected to one end of the column 8a. Since the vibration in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the magnetostrictive member 3a fixed by the vibration is free, the vibration power conversion means operates at a low vibration frequency, and the magnetostrictive member 3a expands or contracts or contracts, so that power can be generated. Power can be generated in the frequency domain.
次に、バイアス磁界発生用の中空形状の永久磁石７ａ，７ｂの設置の具体例について説明する。
［具体例１］
図３は、本発明の実施形態に係る永久磁石の設置の具体例（その１）を示す図である。図３においては、幅を有する環状の永久磁石７ａ，７ｂを所定の充填材、例えば、フェノール樹脂、ＰＥＴ（ポリエチレンテレフタレート）樹脂、ＰＢＴ（ポリブチレンテレフタレート）樹脂などの熱硬化性樹脂を用いて、この例では磁歪部材３ａに充填し磁歪部材３ａに固定するものである。そして図２に示しているようにこの例では磁気回路を構成する磁歪部材３ａにバイアス磁界を供給できるように永久磁石７ａ，７ｂの幅方向（矢印参照）に着磁させている。
Next, a specific example of installation of the hollow permanent magnets 7a and 7b for generating the bias magnetic field will be described.

In FIG. 3, the annular permanent magnets 7a and 7b having a width are made of a predetermined filler, for example, a thermosetting resin such as phenol resin, PET (polyethylene terephthalate) resin, PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) resin, In this example, the magnetostrictive member 3a is filled and fixed to the magnetostrictive member 3a. In this example, as shown in FIG. 2, the permanent magnets 7a and 7b are magnetized in the width direction (see arrows) so that a bias magnetic field can be supplied to the magnetostrictive member 3a constituting the magnetic circuit.
また本例では幅を有する環状の永久磁石を２個使用する例を示しているが、１個でもよく、さらには３個以上設けてもよいことは云うまでもない。また、幅を有する環状の永久磁石を磁歪部材３ａに設ける例を示しているが、これに限定されず、磁気回路の磁路を形成する部材、例えば、上記した磁性部材４ａ、連結部材１５ａなど、のいずれかの箇所に設ければよい。 In this example, an example is shown in which two annular permanent magnets having a width are used, but it is needless to say that one or more may be provided. Moreover, although the example which provides the cyclic | annular permanent magnet which has a width | variety in the magnetostriction member 3a is shown, it is not limited to this, The member which forms the magnetic path of a magnetic circuit, for example, above-mentioned magnetic member 4a, the connection member 15a, etc. It suffices to provide it at any of the locations.
また環状の永久磁石の例を実施例として示したが、中空形状にした永久磁石であれば環状のものに限定されないことは云うまでもない。
このように本発明の実施形態に係る発電装置は、振動電力変換手段を構成する磁気回路の磁路中のいずれかの部材の所定の部位に中空形状の永久磁石を固着したことを特徴とするものである。
Although an example of an annular permanent magnet has been shown as an example, it goes without saying that the permanent magnet is not limited to an annular one as long as it is a hollow permanent magnet.
As described above, the power generation apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that a hollow permanent magnet is fixed to a predetermined portion of any member in the magnetic path of the magnetic circuit constituting the vibration power conversion means. Is.
また振動電力変換手段を振り子状に振動させる構造にしているので、低い周波数で大きな発電量が得られるという格別の作用効果を有するものである。
なお、図示していないが、磁気コイル５ａを巻き回す位置は、上記した実施形態に係る発電装置のような磁歪部材３ａのみに限定されず、例えば、磁性部材４ａ、継ぎ手を付加して連結部材１５ａ，１５ｂ、若しくは、磁歪部材３ａと磁性部材４ａの両方、更には、磁歪部材３ａと継ぎ手を付加した連結部材１５ａ，１５ｂの両方に巻き回すことができることはいうまでもない。
Further, since the vibration power conversion means is structured to vibrate in a pendulum manner, it has a special effect that a large amount of power generation can be obtained at a low frequency.
Although not shown, the position where the magnetic coil 5a is wound is not limited to the magnetostrictive member 3a as in the power generation device according to the above-described embodiment. For example, a magnetic member 4a and a coupling member with a joint added thereto are used. Needless to say, it can be wound around 15a, 15b, or both of the magnetostrictive member 3a and the magnetic member 4a, and further both of the magnetostrictive member 3a and the connecting members 15a, 15b to which the joint is added.
またピン１３を介して支柱８ａに固定せず、支柱８ａに直接固定するようにしてもよい。但し、この場合には上記の実施形態に係る発電装置と同じように振動周波数領域を低減させるのは難しくなる。 Further, it may be directly fixed to the column 8a without being fixed to the column 8a via the pin 13. However, in this case, it is difficult to reduce the vibration frequency region as in the case of the power generation apparatus according to the above embodiment.
さらに取付面は、図１に示した取付面に限定されず、振動源からの振動方向と支柱とが平行となるように取り付けることで、例えば縦方向に発電装置を設置可能である。
［具体例２］
図４は、本発明の実施形態に係る永久磁石の設置の具体例（その２）を示す図である。図４(ａ)は、図２と同様、本発明の実施形態に係る発電装置の振動電力変換手段の構造を示す断面図であり上面から見た図であり、また図４(ｂ)は本発明の実施形態に係る発電装置の振動電力変換手段の構造を示す断面図であり正面から見た図で、それぞれ磁気コイルの巻き回しを省略している。図４(ａ)，(ｂ)においては、円柱状で中空の永久磁石７ａ’，７ｂ’を磁歪部材３ａとヨーク１６で挟み、磁性体のネジ（例えば、鉄製ネジ）６ａ，６ｂで固定するようにしたものである。
Furthermore, the mounting surface is not limited to the mounting surface shown in FIG. 1, and the power generation device can be installed, for example, in the vertical direction by mounting the mounting surface so that the vibration direction from the vibration source and the support column are parallel to each other.
[Specific Example 2]
FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a specific example (part 2) of the installation of the permanent magnet according to the embodiment of the present invention. 4A is a cross-sectional view showing the structure of the vibration power conversion means of the power generation apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention, as seen from FIG. 2, and is a view seen from above, and FIG. It is sectional drawing which shows the structure of the vibration electric power conversion means of the electric power generating apparatus which concerns on embodiment of this invention, and is the figure seen from the front, The winding of a magnetic coil is abbreviate | omitted, respectively. 4 (a) and 4 (b), cylindrical and hollow permanent magnets 7a 'and 7b' are sandwiched between the magnetostrictive member 3a and the yoke 16, and fixed with magnetic screws (for example, iron screws) 6a and 6b. It is what I did.
図４に示されるように本方法は、永久磁石７ａ’，７ｂ’の中空部を図３に示したような所定の充填材を用いて充填し所定の部材に固着する必要がない。そして図４に示す例では磁気回路を構成する磁歪部材３ａに磁性部材からなるネジ６ａ，６ｂを介してヨーク１６と磁歪部材３ａにバイアス磁界を供給することができる。 As shown in FIG. 4, this method does not require filling the hollow portions of the permanent magnets 7 a ′ and 7 b ′ with a predetermined filler as shown in FIG. 3 and fixing them to a predetermined member. In the example shown in FIG. 4, a bias magnetic field can be supplied to the yoke 16 and the magnetostrictive member 3a via the screws 6a and 6b made of a magnetic member to the magnetostrictive member 3a constituting the magnetic circuit.
また本例では円柱状で中空の永久磁石を２個使用する例を示しているが、１個でもよいことは云うまでもない。なお、本例ではヨーク１６が図１に示す磁性材料４ａと連結部材１５ａ，１５ｂを一体に構成したものに相当する。 In this example, two cylindrical and permanent magnets are used, but it goes without saying that only one may be used. In this example, the yoke 16 corresponds to the magnetic material 4a and the connecting members 15a and 15b shown in FIG.
また図４に示す具体例では、円柱状で中空の永久磁石７ａ’，７ｂ’を磁性部材からなるネジ６ａ，６ｂで固定し、ネジ６ａ，６ｂが磁気回路の磁路の一部を形成するようにしているが、ネジに限定されず、磁性体であれば他の固着手段（例えば、リベット等）を用いてもよいことは云うまでもない。 In the specific example shown in FIG. 4, cylindrical and hollow permanent magnets 7a 'and 7b' are fixed with screws 6a and 6b made of a magnetic member, and the screws 6a and 6b form part of the magnetic path of the magnetic circuit. However, the present invention is not limited to screws, and other fixing means (for example, rivets) may be used as long as they are magnetic.
