Abstract
L'invention concerne un agencement de transformation d'énergie mécanique en énergie électrique, l'agencement comprenant : un élément passif destiné à produire un flux de fluide, cet élément passif étant implanté dans un environnement déformable mécaniquement de manière qu'en présence d'une déformation mécanique de l'environnement, une énergie mécanique est produite qui agit sur l'élément mécanique et produit alors un flux de fluide au niveau d'une ouverture de l'élément passif ; et un convertisseur d'énergie piézoélectrique avec au moins un élément piézoélectrique dans lequel peut être couplée une force mécanique transmise par le flux de fluide de manière à exciter des oscillations mécaniques dans l'élément piézoélectrique qui, en raison de l'effet piézoélectrique, produit du courant qui peut être utilisé pour une alimentation autonome, en particulier pour des systèmes locaux décentralisés (par exemple actionneurs ou détecteurs). Ce mode de couplage indirect de l'énergie entre l'énergie mécanique de l'environnement et l'élément piézoélectrique présente l'avantage que le flux de fluide peut être produit de manière bien définie et qu'une surcharge mécanique éventuelle dans l'environnement ne peut pas agir directement sur l'élément piézoélectrique si l'élément passif est soigneusement conçu. On évite ainsi une détérioration ou une destruction du composant.
