If an acceleration sensor or the like that requires a power source is used as the abnormality detection sensor instead of the vibration power generation element 10, the abnormality detection sensor always consumes power regardless of whether the monitored object is in an abnormal state.

- the natural frequency f0 of the vibration power generation element 10 is matched with the frequency generated when the monitored object is abnormal, and the switch circuit 30 operates differently from the switch circuit 30 shown in FIG. may be reversed.

That is, it may be determined whether or not the predetermined sound is being generated by making the resonance frequency of the vibration power generation element 10 coincide with the "certain frequency" of the predetermined sound and determining the duration of the sound. Note that the operation of the monitoring device 1 is the same as that of the embodiment described above.

By doing so, standby power can be significantly reduced (or eliminated) to extend battery life. That is, when a sound of a specific frequency is generated from the monitored object, the notification destination device 71 can be woken up by the vibration power generation element 10 and the switching elements 301 and 302 .

Abstract
Description
図1に示した例では、報知部70は異常か否かを知らせる報知信号を送信部701から送信することで、異常を報知した。しかし、報知手段としては報知信号を送信するだけでなく、種々の手段が可能である。例えば、図2に示す変形例1のように、送信部701に代えて、異常検出により発光するLED表示部703を設けても良い。振動発電素子10により異常が検出され電池60から報知部70に電源が供給されると、制御部702はオフ状態(開状態)のスイッチ704をオン状態(閉状態)に切り替える。オン状態になったスイッチ704は、スイッチ回路30を介した報知部70への電源供給が停止状態になった場合でも、オン状態を維持するように構成されている。その結果、LED表示部703は、異常検出により一端点灯すると、振動発電素子10の発電量が小さくなり充電電圧V1が閾値を下回ってスイッチ回路30がオフ状態となっても、点灯状態が維持される。
図3は、上述した実施の形態の変形例2を示す図である。図3に示す監視装置1では、振動発電素子10A,10B,10Cとその整流部20aとからなる構成をそれぞれ備え、それらを蓄電部20bに並列接続するようにした。振動発電素子10A,10B,10Cの固有振動数は、それぞれfa、fb、fcである。例えば、監視対象が3種類あってそれらの周波数がf1、f2、f3であった場合、fa=f1、fb=f2、fc=f3のように設定する。監視対象から周波数f1、f2、f3の内のどれか一つでも発生すると、振動発電素子10A,10B,10Cの内の対応する振動発電子による発電が行われ、充電電圧V1が閾値以上となるとスイッチ回路30がオン状態となり、報知部70による報知が実行される。
図5は、上述した実施の形態の変形例3を示す図である。図5は、図1と同じ構成の監視装置1に加えて、報知先装置71を示す。報知先装置71は、報知部70からの信号の送信先である。上述した実施の形態では、監視装置1は、監視対象の正常状態または異常状態を示す音または振動を検知して、監視対象が正常であるかまたは異常であることを示す信号を送信したが、監視装置1は、監視対象の状態が、無音の状態から所定の音(例えば、監視対象の異常を示す音ではなく、定期的な発信音)を発生する状態へ変化したときに、当該所定の音を検知して、報知部70がその状態変化を示す信号を報知先装置71に送信するようにしてもよい。すなわち、振動発電素子10の共振周波数を所定の音の「ある周波数」に一致させて、持続時間を含めて判定することで、所定の音が発生しているかどうかの判定を行ってよい。なお、監視装置1の動作は、上述した実施の形態と同様である。
上述した監視装置1を、変電所の変圧器の状態を監視する装置に適用した場合について説明する。図6は、変電所の変圧器80の外観を模式的に示した図である。変圧器本体801は筐体802の内部に収納されている。監視装置1は、図1に示した各部の部品をケースに収納したものであり、例えば、監視装置1aのように変圧器本体801の表面や、監視装置1b,1cのように筐体802の内壁面または外壁面に取り付けられる。取り付け方法は、接着やねじ止め等の様々な方法が可能である。
(1)図1に示すように、監視装置1は、監視対象で生じる所定の周波数の音または振動に反応して発電する振動発電部としての振動発電素子10と、振動発電素子10による発電の有無に応じて監視対象の異常を報知する報知部70と、を備える。報知部70は、振動発電素子10の発電の電圧値と所定の閾値との大小関係に応じて、例えば、振動発電素子10の電圧値が所定の閾値以上の場合に異常を報知する構成なので、センサ部として機能する振動発電素子10は電源を必要としない。また、従来のように作業員の巡回により異常音を確認する監視方法では、作業員が異常音を聞き逃すおそれがあるが、振動発電素子10の発電により異常音や異常振動を検知し、報知部70により異常を報知する構成とすることで、異常の見逃しを防止することができる。
