Abstract
Description
図1は、本発明の第1実施形態に係る発電装置10の概略構成を示す斜視図である。また、図2は、発電装置10を内蔵する携帯型電気機器1の概略構成を示す構成図である。図1に示すように、発電装置10は、第1基板11と、複数のエレクトレット電極12と、第2基板13と、複数の対向電極14と、回転軸15と、を含んで構成されている。さらに、図1には示されていないが、発電装置10は回転錘16と動力伝達機構17とを含んでいる。また、図2に示すように、携帯型電気機器1は、発電装置10と、整流回路2と、蓄電部材3と、負荷4と、降圧回路5と、を含んで構成されている。
次に、本発明の第2実施形態について説明する。本実施形態に係る発電装置及び携帯型電気機器は、動力伝達機構17の構成が第1実施形態とは相違するが、その他の構成は図1及び図2に示した第1実施形態のものと同様である。そのため、以下では第1実施形態と同一の構成要素については同一の参照符号を用いて参照し、その詳細な説明については省略する。
次に、本発明の第3実施形態について説明する。本実施形態に係る発電装置及び携帯型電気機器は、後述する基板錘24が第1基板11に取り付けられているほかは、第2実施形態のものと同様である。そのため、第2実施形態と共通する部分については説明を省略する。
次に、本発明の第4実施形態について説明する。本実施形態についても、第2実施形態の場合と同様に、動力伝達機構17を除いて第1実施形態と同様の構成を備えている。
次に、本発明の第5実施形態について説明する。本実施形態についても、第2実施形態の場合と同様に、動力伝達機構17を除いて第1実施形態と同様の構成を備えている。
次に、本発明の第6実施形態について説明する。本実施形態についても、動力伝達機構17を除いて第1実施形態と同様の構成を備えている。
次に、本発明の第7実施形態について説明する。本実施形態に係る発電装置及び携帯型電気機器は、クラッチ機構22の構成が第1実施形態と相違するが、その他の構成には図1及び図2に示した第1実施形態のものと同様である。
次に、回転錘16の変形例について説明する。以上の説明では、いずれの実施形態においても、回転錘16は単一の剛体によって形成されているものとしている。しかしながら、回転錘16は複数の部材によって構成され、その回転速度に応じて全体の重心位置が変化するように構成されてもよい。
以上の構成に加えて、本発明の実施の形態に係る発電装置10は、携帯型電気機器1自身の運動だけでなく、携帯型電気機器1の使用者による手動の操作によって発電する機能を備えてもよい。このような機能は、操作部材41と操作動力伝達機構42とによって実現される。
