Description
The present invention relates to an energy harvester, and more particularly, to an energy harvester for converting external vibrations into electric energy.
Conventional railway monitoring systems rely on wireline sensor monitoring technology, which limits reliability and stability in maintenance, repair and management. Particularly, there is a problem that it is difficult to obtain real-time monitoring data on the main apparatuses of the vehicle itself because the railway vehicle's traveling and traveling devices are restricted in accessing parts and wired sensors.
For example, a conventional railway monitoring system can diagnose a railway vehicle condition only at a limited installation position by diagnosing a fault according to the state detection information detected by a sensor installed on a railway facility on the ground (or a maintenance window). Accordingly, there is a limit in that reliability of the diagnosis result is low, diagnosis after the occurrence of a failure is only possible, and prediction and prevention of a failure can not be performed by real-time monitoring of the state of the railway vehicle.
In order to solve such a problem, studies are underway to combine a wireless sensor for monitoring the operation state of each component of a railway vehicle. However, in the case of a wireless sensor, since power supply is not smooth, There have been attempts to add self-generating modules to perform self-generation.
Energy Harvesting technology is one of the representative technologies of self-generated modules. Energy Harvesting technology is a technology that converts the waste energy from the surrounding area into electric energy that can be harvested or scavengeed.
Energy Harvesting technology absorbs natural light energy, low temperature cogeneration energy from a human body or a small engine, microvibration energy of a portable device mounting / attaching device, dissipated energy due to human physical activity, and thermoelectric Such as a DC / AC generator, a Piezoelectric transducer, a capacitor transducer, a photovoltaic cell, etc., can be used.
Generally, the power level achieved through energy harvesting techniques is on the order of milliwatts (㎽) to about microwatts (.).
These energy harvesting techniques can be applied to various fields. For example, it is possible to utilize vibrations occurring in high-speed railways or vehicles, and the state of various systems such as a train operating system, a high-pressure system, a traction system, a braking system, an auxiliary power supply, May be coupled to a railway vehicle, and the sensed information may be transmitted over a wireless communication path.
Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2012-0024018 (entitled "Energy Harvester") discloses an energy harvester that converts vibration energy transmitted from the outside into electric energy.
The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an energy harvester which improves energy generation efficiency.

According to the above-mentioned problem solving means of the present invention, electric energy can be generated semi-permanently by self-power generation using vibration energy generated from the inside or the outside.
Further, the rate of change of the magnetic flux passing through the cross section of the coil part is improved, and the energy generation efficiency can be greatly improved.
