Finite Element Analysis and Experiment on a Piezoelectric Harvester with Multiple Cantilevers

並列摘要


A piezoelectric harvester with multiple cantilevers was proposed for harvesting environment vibration energy from multiple directions and broadening the resonance frequency range. The harvester was composed of a steel base and many different cantilevers directing differently. The single cantilever was analyzed by Finite Element Method (FEM). The effects of the structure parameters of the single cantilever on the nature frequency were gotten by modal analysis. The output voltage value of the single cantilever was maximal at resonance by harmonic analysis. The electricity generating capability of the harvester was tested and the results indicated the harvester could generate the higher output voltage in a special frequency scope comparing with a single cantilever. The effective excitation frequency range of the harvester was 12~20 Hz. The output power of the harvester was about 2.88 mW at vibration acceleration 0.6 g, the outer load 500 Ω and the excitation frequency 16 Hz. The harvester could broaden the work frequency scope and supply electric energy for large distributed wireless sensor systems and subminiature power devices.
