Description

本発明は、発電装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a power generation device.

従来は使用されずに捨てられていた、身近な環境に存在する微弱な運動エネルギー(人力,振動,圧力,熱,太陽光等)を利用して電力を発電できる自己発電型の環境発電(エナジーハーベスティング:Energy Harvesting)が注目されている。 Self-powered energy harvesting (energy) that can generate electricity using weak kinetic energy (human power, vibration, pressure, heat, sunlight, etc.) that exists in the familiar environment, which was previously discarded without being used. Harvesting: Energy Harvesting) is attracting attention.

この様な環境発電によって電力を発電する発電機構や発電方法として、例えば特許文献1が挙げられる。 As a power generation mechanism and a power generation method for generating electric power by such environmental power generation, for example, Patent Document 1 can be mentioned.

特許文献1記載の発電機構及び発電装置では発電機構を少なくとも、第1可動部品と、第2可動部品と、捩りコイルバネと、発電機と、ハウジングで形成している。第1可動部品と第2可動部品は歯車とし、捩りコイルバネの第1巻回部と第2巻回部を互いに逆方向に第1中心軸に巻回し、第1巻回部に初期弾性エネルギーie1を付与すると共に、第2巻回部に初期弾性エネルギーie2を付与し、ie2とie1の絶対値を等しく設定している。更に発電機構の外部からの力で第2可動部品を初期状態から回転させ、第1可動部品と第2可動部品の歯部を噛み合わせて第1可動部品を回転させて、弾性エネルギーie12を第1巻回部に蓄積し、第1可動部品と第2可動部品の歯部の噛み合いを外してie12によって第1中心軸を逆方向に回転させて発電機で発電を行う。 In the power generation mechanism and the power generation device described in Patent Document 1, the power generation mechanism is formed of at least a first movable part, a second movable part, a torsion coil spring, a generator, and a housing. The first movable part and the second movable part are gears, and the first winding part and the second winding part of the torsion coil spring are wound around the first central axis in opposite directions to each other, and the initial elastic energy ie1 is wound in the first winding part. Is given, and the initial elastic energy ie2 is given to the second winding part, and the absolute values of ie2 and ie1 are set to be equal. Further, the second movable part is rotated from the initial state by a force from the outside of the power generation mechanism, and the teeth of the first movable part and the second movable part are meshed to rotate the first movable part, so that the elastic energy ie12 is generated. It accumulates in the one-turning part, disengages the teeth of the first moving part and the second moving part, and rotates the first central axis in the opposite direction by ie12 to generate electricity with a generator.

特許文献1の発電機構又は発電方法に依れば、捩りコイルバネを含む事で、第1巻回部の捩りにより弾性エネルギーie12を第1巻回部に蓄積してから、その弾性エネルギーie12を解放して、発電機で発電を行う。従って、どんなに遅い速度の力で第2可動部品が回転されて発電機構が動作しても一定の発電量を確保する事ができ、確実なスイッチング動作を行う事が可能となる。 According to the power generation mechanism or power generation method of Patent Document 1, by including a torsion coil spring, elastic energy ie12 is accumulated in the first winding portion by twisting of the first winding portion, and then the elastic energy ie12 is released. Then, the generator is used to generate electricity. Therefore, no matter how slow the force is when the second movable component is rotated and the power generation mechanism operates, a constant amount of power generation can be secured, and reliable switching operation can be performed.

また、特許文献1の発電機構を起動させるスイッチとして、特許文献2図示のレバーが挙げられる(特許文献2に於ける、各部の名称を示す参考斜視図を参照)。特許文献2図示の車両進入報知器は、スイッチ発電機構、固定部品、軸、レバー、車輪、及びこれらを載置する台座から構成されている。軸は、スイッチ発電機構、固定部品、及びレバーに挿通されている。回転自在の車輪が二つ各レバーに備えられており、レバーは軸を中心に揺動可能に備えられている。軸の両端は、それぞれ固定部品で両持ち支持されている。また、二つのレバーに挟まれて、例えば特許文献1の発電機構(スイッチ発電機構)が配置されている。 Further, as a switch for activating the power generation mechanism of Patent Document 1, a lever shown in Patent Document 2 can be mentioned (see the reference perspective view showing the name of each part in Patent Document 2). Patent Document 2 The illustrated vehicle approach alarm is composed of a switch power generation mechanism, fixed parts, shafts, levers, wheels, and a pedestal on which these are placed. The shaft is inserted through the switch power generation mechanism, fixed parts, and lever. Two rotatable wheels are provided on each lever, and the levers are provided so as to be swingable around an axis. Both ends of the shaft are supported by both holdings with fixed parts. Further, for example, the power generation mechanism (switch power generation mechanism) of Patent Document 1 is arranged between the two levers.

特許文献2の車両進入報知器の二つの車輪の内、レバーによって上方に配置されている車輪に、車両の車輪が接触すると、車両進入報知器の車輪が回転すると共にレバーが揺動し、上方に上げられていたレバーの一端が台座方向へと押し込まれ、軸が回転してその回転がスイッチ発電機構に伝達される。軸の回転により、スイッチ発電機構のスプリングの収縮や歯車の回転が発生し、次にモータのシャフトが回転し、シャフトの回転に伴いモータ内部のコイル又はマグネットの一方が可動して、電磁誘導によりモータ内部で電力が自己発電される。その電力により無線機等が稼働されて信号が発信され、車両の進入又は通過が報知される。 When the wheel of the vehicle comes into contact with the wheel arranged above by the lever among the two wheels of the vehicle approach alarm of Patent Document 2, the wheel of the vehicle approach alarm rotates and the lever swings upward. One end of the lever raised to is pushed toward the pedestal, the shaft rotates, and the rotation is transmitted to the switch power generation mechanism. The rotation of the shaft causes contraction of the spring of the switch power generation mechanism and rotation of the gear, then the shaft of the motor rotates, and with the rotation of the shaft, one of the coil or magnet inside the motor moves, and by electromagnetic induction Electric power is self-generated inside the motor. The electric power is used to operate a radio or the like to transmit a signal to notify the approach or passage of a vehicle.

しかし特許文献2図示のレバー式のスイッチでは、レバーの一端が車重を受けた状態で台座方向へと押し込まれる。従って、レバーの揺動に伴う両端の交互の上下動作時に、過大な衝撃力が発電機構や車両進入報知器に生じると共に、車両進入又は通過の度に繰り返し衝撃力が加わる事により、発電機構や車両進入報知器の耐久性に懸念があった。 However, in the lever type switch shown in Patent Document 2, one end of the lever is pushed toward the pedestal while receiving the vehicle weight. Therefore, when the lever swings and the both ends alternate up and down, an excessive impact force is generated in the power generation mechanism and the vehicle approach alarm, and the impact force is repeatedly applied each time the vehicle enters or passes, so that the power generation mechanism and the vehicle approach are generated. There was concern about the durability of the vehicle approach alarm.

本発明は上記課題に鑑みてなされたものであり、スイッチの動作に伴う衝撃力を緩和し、耐久性が向上可能な発電装置の提供を目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a power generation device capable of reducing an impact force associated with a switch operation and improving durability.

That is, the power generation device of the present invention includes at least a power generation mechanism, a switch, and an elasticity imparting means, and the power generation mechanism includes at least a first movable part, a second movable part, a torsion coil spring, a generator, and a housing.

The teeth are disengaged, and the elastic energy causes the first movable part to rotate in the opposite direction by a certain amount to rotate the first central shaft, and the rotation of the first central shaft is transmitted to rotate the shaft of the generator. , Power is generated by the generator to generate power, and the first central axis is rotated by the initial elastic energy ie1 and the initial elastic energy ie2, and the elasticity imparting means is a torsion coil spring wound around the second central axis. There is, the first end is connected to the second movable part, the second end is fixed to the housing, and due to the winding shape of the elasticity applying means, the initial force is not transmitted from the switch. Elastic energy ie3 is applied to the elastic imparting means, and after the first movable part is rotated by a certain amount, the second movable part is rotated in the opposite direction by the initial elastic energy ie3.

本実施の形態の第一の特徴は、発電装置が少なくとも発電機構とスイッチと弾性付与手段を備える事である。発電機構は第1可動部品、第2可動部品、捩りコイルバネ、発電機、ハウジングで形成する。スイッチの回転により第1可動部品と第2可動部品が噛み合って第1可動部品が一定量回転されて捩りコイルバネが捩られ、弾性エネルギーが蓄積される。その後噛み合いが外れ、弾性エネルギーによって発電機のシャフトが回転されて発電が行われる。弾性付与手段は、第2中心軸に巻回された捩りコイルバネとし、第1の端部を第2可動部品に連結し、第2の端部をハウジングに固定する。弾性付与手段により初期弾性エネルギーie3を弾性付与手段に付与しており、第1可動部品が一定量回転した後に、ie3で第2可動部品を逆方向に回転させる。 The first feature of this embodiment is that the power generation device includes at least a power generation mechanism, a switch, and elasticity imparting means. The power generation mechanism is formed of a first movable part, a second movable part, a torsion coil spring, a generator, and a housing. The rotation of the switch causes the first movable component and the second movable component to mesh with each other, the first movable component is rotated by a certain amount, the torsion coil spring is twisted, and elastic energy is stored. After that, the mesh is disengaged, and the elastic energy rotates the shaft of the generator to generate electricity. The elasticity imparting means is a torsion coil spring wound around the second central shaft, the first end portion is connected to the second movable part, and the second end portion is fixed to the housing. The initial elastic energy ie3 is applied to the elasticity-imparting means by the elasticity-imparting means, and after the first movable part is rotated by a certain amount, the second movable part is rotated in the opposite direction by ie3.

この構成に依れば、スイッチの動作に伴う衝撃力を緩和出来る為、発電装置の耐久性を向上させる事が可能となる。 According to this configuration, the impact force associated with the operation of the switch can be alleviated, so that the durability of the power generation device can be improved.

なお本発明において、第1可動部品と第2可動部品の回転量における「一定量」は同一とは限らず、各回転方向に応じて「一定量」が異なる場合や、各部品の寸法の差異によって生じる回転角の差異も含むものとする。 In the present invention, the "constant amount" in the rotation amount of the first movable part and the second movable part is not always the same, and the "constant amount" is different depending on each rotation direction, or the dimensional difference of each part is different. It shall also include the difference in the angle of rotation caused by.

以上の発電装置は、人間によるスイッチング用途や、コンテナ等の荷物や椅子の載置又は撤去状態の認識、車両進入の報知装置等に使用する事が出来る。 The above power generation device can be used for switching by human beings, recognition of a state in which a luggage such as a container or a chair is placed or removed, a notification device for vehicle entry, and the like.

なお本発明では、捩りコイルバネの第1巻回部又は第2巻回部、又は弾性付与手段にそれぞれ付与若しくは蓄積されるトルク(N・mm)を、「弾性エネルギー」(mJ)と表記し説明する。 In the present invention, the torque (N · mm) applied to or accumulated in the first winding portion or the second winding portion of the torsion coil spring or the elasticity applying means is described as “elastic energy” (mJ). do.

更に本発明では、スイッチとして、軸を中心に揺動し両端が交互に上下可能なシーソー式のスイッチを含む。 Further, the present invention includes a seesaw type switch that swings around a shaft and both ends can be alternately moved up and down.

また第二の特徴は、第2可動部品の逆方向の回転により、第1可動部品の歯部と、第2可動部品の歯部が互いに接触して、第2可動部品の逆方向の回転が止まる発電装置とした事である。 The second feature is that the teeth of the first movable part and the teeth of the second movable part come into contact with each other due to the rotation of the second movable part in the opposite direction, so that the teeth of the second movable part rotate in the opposite direction. It was a power generation device that stopped.

この構成に依れば、前記効果に加えて、第1可動部品と第2可動部品の互いの歯部が接触するまでスイッチを回転させる事で、スイッチの突出高さを一層低減し、スイッチの動作量も低減可能となる事で衝撃力が緩和出来る。従って、発電装置の耐久性をより向上させる事が可能となる。 According to this configuration, in addition to the above effect, the protrusion height of the switch is further reduced by rotating the switch until the teeth of the first movable part and the second movable part come into contact with each other, and the switch The impact force can be mitigated by making it possible to reduce the amount of movement. Therefore, it is possible to further improve the durability of the power generation device.

また第三の特徴は、第2可動部品の逆方向の回転により、第1可動部品の歯部と、第2可動部品の歯部が互いに接触して、第1可動部品の歯部と第2可動部品の歯部が再び噛み合って連動し、第1可動部品が一定量逆方向に回転され、第1可動部品の一定量の逆方向の回転により捩りコイルバネが捩られ、その捩りによる弾性エネルギーが第2巻回部に蓄積され、第1可動部品が一定量逆方向に回転した後に、第1可動部品と第2可動部品の互いの歯部の噛み合いが再び外れ、弾性エネルギーによって第1可動部品が一定量回転されて第1中心軸が回転され、第1中心軸の回転が伝達されて発電機のシャフトが回転されて、発電機で再び電力が発生されて発電が行われる発電装置とした事である。 The third feature is that the tooth portion of the first movable component and the tooth portion of the second movable component come into contact with each other due to the rotation of the second movable component in the opposite direction, and the tooth portion of the first movable component and the second movable component are in contact with each other. The teeth of the moving parts are re-engaged and interlocked, the first moving part is rotated in the opposite direction by a certain amount, the torsion coil spring is twisted by a certain amount of rotation in the opposite direction of the first moving part, and the elastic energy due to the twist is generated. After being accumulated in the second winding part and rotating the first moving part in the opposite direction by a certain amount, the meshing of the teeth of the first moving part and the second moving part is disengaged again, and the first moving part is disengaged by elastic energy. Is rotated by a certain amount, the first central axis is rotated, the rotation of the first central axis is transmitted, the shaft of the generator is rotated, and the generator generates power again to generate power. It is a thing.

この構成に依れば、前記効果に加えて、スイッチの一回のスイッチング動作により発電機で二回発電を行う事が可能となる。従って一回のスイッチング動作に伴い発電装置で発生可能な電力量が二倍となり、より大きな無線信号を発電装置から発信出来る。 According to this configuration, in addition to the above-mentioned effect, it is possible to generate electricity twice with the generator by one switching operation of the switch. Therefore, the amount of electric power that can be generated by the power generation device is doubled with one switching operation, and a larger wireless signal can be transmitted from the power generation device.

By adopting an involute tooth profile, the meshing is maintained correctly even if the center distance between the gears (the linear distance between the center of the first central axis 2b and the center of the second central axis 3b) changes slightly. It is preferable because it can be easily produced and has less slippage. It is also possible to replace the tooth profile of 2a or 3a with an involute tooth profile to form a cycloid tooth profile.

捩りコイルバネ4は、図2〜図4に示す様に、少なくとも第1巻回部と第2巻回部の2つの巻回部を有するバネとする。発電機構12では、第1巻回部と第2巻回部が個別に形成された2つの捩りコイルバネ(第1捩りコイルバネ4aと第2捩りコイルバネ4b)が設けられている。 As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the torsion coil spring 4 is a spring having at least two winding portions, a first winding portion and a second winding portion. The power generation mechanism 12 is provided with two torsion coil springs (first torsion coil spring 4a and second torsion coil spring 4b) in which the first winding portion and the second winding portion are individually formed.

図3及び図4に示す様に、第1捩りコイルバネ4aの巻回部(第1巻回部)は第1中心軸2bに巻回されており、第1巻回部の第1の端部が自由端4a1である。一方、第2の端部4a2は、第1可動部品2a,第1中心軸2b,又は第2巻回部の何れかに連結するものとし、本実施例では第1可動部品2aに連結されている。図3の矢印A方向から見た時に、第1可動部品2aに連結された第2の端部4a2に向かう方向で、第1巻回部は時計回りに巻回されている。 As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the winding portion (first winding portion) of the first torsion coil spring 4a is wound around the first central shaft 2b, and the first end portion of the first winding portion.

On the other hand, the second end portion 4a2 is connected to any of the first movable part 2a, the first central shaft 2b, or the second winding portion, and in this embodiment, it is connected to the first movable part 2a. There is. When viewed from the direction of arrow A in FIG. 3, the first winding portion is wound clockwise in the direction toward the second end portion 4a2 connected to the first moving component 2a.

更に第1巻回部の自由端4a1が、ハウジング6を構成する仕切り板6aの側面に接触している。この接触及び第1巻回部の巻回形状により、発電機構12の外部から力が伝達されない状態で初期弾性エネルギーie1(mJ)が第1巻回部(即ち、第1捩りコイルバネ4a)に付与されている。 Further, the free end 4a1 of the first winding portion is in contact with the side surface of the partition plate 6a constituting the housing 6. Due to this contact and the winding shape of the first winding portion, the initial elastic energy ie1 (mJ) is applied to the first winding portion (that is, the first torsion coil spring 4a) in a state where the force is not transmitted from the outside of the power generation mechanism 12. Has been done.

一方、図3及び図4に示す様に、第2捩りコイルバネ4bの巻回部(第2巻回部)は、第1巻回部とは逆方向に第1中心軸2bに巻回されており、第2巻回部の第1の端部は自由端4b1である。また第2の端部4b2は、第1可動部品2a,第1中心軸2b,又は第1巻回部の何れかに連結するものとし、本実施例では第1可動部品2aに連結されている。図4の矢印A方向で見た時に、自由端4b1に向かう方向で第2巻回部は時計回りに巻回されている。よって、第1巻回部と第2巻回部を互いに対向して見ると逆方向に巻回されている。なお、図3と図4の矢印Aは同一方向を指している。 On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the winding portion (second winding portion) of the second torsion coil spring 4b is wound around the first central axis 2b in the direction opposite to that of the first winding portion. The first end of the second winding part is the free end 4b1. Further, the second end portion 4b2 is connected to any of the first movable part 2a, the first central shaft 2b, or the first winding portion, and is connected to the first movable part 2a in this embodiment. .. When viewed in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 4, the second winding portion is wound clockwise in the direction toward the free end 4b1. Therefore, when the first winding portion and the second winding portion are viewed facing each other, they are wound in opposite directions. The arrows A in FIGS. 3 and 4 point in the same direction.

更に第2巻回部の自由端4b1が、ハウジング6を構成する仕切り板6aの側面に接触している。この接触及び第2巻回部の巻回形状により、発電機構12の外部から力が伝達されない状態で初期弾性エネルギーie2(mJ)が第2巻回部(即ち、第2捩りコイルバネ4b)に付与されている。 Further, the free end 4b1 of the second winding portion is in contact with the side surface of the partition plate 6a constituting the housing 6. Due to this contact and the winding shape of the second winding portion, the initial elastic energy ie2 (mJ) is applied to the second winding portion (that is, the second torsion coil spring 4b) in a state where the force is not transmitted from the outside of the power generation mechanism 12. Has been done.

ie2の絶対値はie1の絶対値と等しく設定されている。ie2の絶対値とie1の絶対値の均衡が保たれた状態で、第1可動部品が静止され初期状態に保持されている。 The absolute value of ie2 is set equal to the absolute value of ie1. In a state where the absolute value of ie2 and the absolute value of ie1 are balanced, the first moving part is stopped and held in the initial state.

なお、発電機構12では第1巻回部と第2巻回部のそれぞれの第2の端部(4a2と4b2)を、第1可動部品2aに連結しているが、第2の端部(4a2と4b2)同士を互いに接続する事で、第1巻回部と第2巻回部を有する1つの捩りコイルバネを、捩りコイルバネ4の換わりに用いても良い。 In the power generation mechanism 12, the second ends (4a2 and 4b2) of the first winding part and the second winding part are connected to the first movable part 2a, but the second end (4a2 and 4b2) is connected. By connecting 4a2 and 4b2) to each other, one torsion coil spring having a first winding portion and a second winding portion may be used instead of the torsion coil spring 4.

更に図2,図7,図8にそれぞれ示す様に、第2中心軸3bには弾性付与手段11が巻回形成されている。弾性付与手段11は第2中心軸3bに巻回された捩りコイルバネであり、図7と図8では第2可動部品3aに向かうに従い第2中心軸3bに時計方向に巻回されている。 Further, as shown in FIGS. 2, 7, and 8, respectively, the elasticity imparting means 11 is wound around the second central shaft 3b. The elasticity imparting means 11 is a torsion coil spring wound around the second central shaft 3b, and in FIGS. 7 and 8, it is wound clockwise around the second central shaft 3b toward the second movable part 3a.

弾性付与手段11は2つの端部を有し、第1の端部は、第2可動部品3aの止め穴13に固定されて連結されている。止め穴13は、第2可動部品3aの側面に設けられた凹部14の底面に設けられる。一方、第2の端部はハウジング6を構成する仕切り板6aに固定されて連結されている(図2参照)。第2の端部が仕切り板6aに常時固定されていると共に、第2中心軸に巻回されている巻回形状に依って、スイッチ9から力が第2中心軸3bに伝達されない状態で、初期弾性エネルギーie3(mJ)が弾性付与手段11に付与されている。 The elasticity imparting means 11 has two ends, and the first end is fixed and connected to the stop hole 13 of the second movable part 3a. The stop hole 13 is provided on the bottom surface of the recess 14 provided on the side surface of the second movable part 3a. On the other hand, the second end is fixedly connected to the partition plate 6a constituting the housing 6 (see FIG. 2). The second end is always fixed to the partition plate 6a, and the force is not transmitted from the switch 9 to the second central shaft 3b due to the winding shape wound around the second central shaft. The initial elastic energy ie3 (mJ) is applied to the elasticity imparting means 11.

従って、仕切り板6aに固定された第2の端部を支点として、ie3により第1端部(止め穴13)が回転されるので、図7及び図8に於いてie3に依って第2の可動部品3aに反時計回りの回転力が付与される。 Therefore, since the first end portion (stop hole 13) is rotated by ie3 with the second end portion fixed to the partition plate 6a as a fulcrum, the second end portion (stop hole 13) is rotated according to ie3 in FIGS. 7 and 8. A counterclockwise rotational force is applied to the moving part 3a.

弾性付与手段11の第2の端部はハウジング6の何処に固定されていても良いが、ie3に依って第2の可動部品3aに反時計回りの回転力を付与させる為には、図7及び図8に於いて、弾性付与手段11の巻回部の下側周縁部から右側に捩りコイルバネの端部を引き出し、図の右側に位置する図示しないハウジング6部分(本実施例では仕切り板6a)に固定する事が望ましい。 The second end portion of the elasticity applying means 11 may be fixed anywhere in the housing 6, but in order to apply a counterclockwise rotational force to the second movable part 3a by ie3, FIG. And in FIG. 8, the end of the torsion coil spring is pulled out to the right from the lower peripheral edge of the winding portion of the elasticity applying means 11, and the housing 6 portion (not shown) located on the right side of the drawing (partition plate 6a in this embodiment). ) Is desirable.

また図2に示す様に、第1中心軸2bの軸方向と、発電機5のシャフト5aの軸方向を、互いに平行に構成すると共に、第1中心軸2bに於ける第1可動部品2aの軸支側と反対側に、平歯車7を軸支している。一方、シャフト5aの端部にも平歯車8が軸支されている。従って、第1中心軸2bと発電機5のシャフト5aが、2つの平歯車7及び8で連結されている。なお図2では、第1可動部品2a,第2可動部品3a,平歯車7,及び平歯車8の歯形の図示は省略している。 Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the axial direction of the first central shaft 2b and the axial direction of the shaft 5a of the generator 5 are configured to be parallel to each other, and the first movable component 2a on the first central shaft 2b is formed. A spur gear 7 is pivotally supported on the side opposite to the shaft support side. On the other hand, a spur gear 8 is also pivotally supported at the end of the shaft 5a. Therefore, the first central shaft 2b and the shaft 5a of the generator 5 are connected by two spur gears 7 and 8. Note that in FIG. 2, the tooth profiles of the first movable part 2a, the second movable part 3a, the spur gear 7, and the spur gear 8 are not shown.

This partition plate 6a is also a component of the housing 6. Hereinafter, the housing 6 including the partition plate 6a will be referred to as a housing 6 if necessary.

スイッチ9は、後述する2つの固定部品(10,10)に依って軸を両持ち軸支された部品であり、その軸を支点として揺動し、その揺動毎に時計方向及び反時計方向に回転し、左右両端が上下するシーソー式のスイッチである。スイッチ9の軸とは、第2中心軸3bか、又は第2中心軸3bに連結されている軸とする。スイッチ9には、車両の車輪や人間の足、又は荷物や椅子が接触する。従って、車両や人間又は荷物や椅子等がスイッチ9へ乗り上げる時や、車両や人間が通過する時の衝撃を緩和させる為に、収縮変形可能で弾性力を有するゴム製が好ましい。 The switch 9 is a component having a shaft supported by both fixed parts (10, 10) described later, swinging around the shaft as a fulcrum, and clockwise and counterclockwise for each swing. It is a seesaw type switch that rotates to the left and right ends up and down. The axis of the switch 9 is the second central axis 3b or the axis connected to the second central axis 3b. The switch 9 comes into contact with the wheels of a vehicle, human feet, luggage, or a chair.

固定部品10はゴム製の台であり、2つの固定部品(10,10)で1つのスイッチ9の軸を両持ち軸支している。固定部品10は、車両の車輪や人間の足、又は荷物や椅子が接触する踏み台用の部品である。従って、車両や人間又は荷物や椅子等がスイッチ9へ乗り上げる時や、車両や人間が通過する時の衝撃を緩和させる為に、収縮変形可能で弾性力を有するゴム製が好ましい。更に固定部品10には、前記乗り上げ時や通過時の接触を円滑に移行する2つの斜面が前後に設けられていると共に、路面等の設置面にボルトで固定するボルト止め部10aが2箇所設けられている。また、前記乗り上げ時や通過時の車輪や足等の滑り止め用の凹凸を、固定部品10の表面に設けても良い。 The fixing part 10 is a rubber base, and two fixing parts (10, 10) support the shaft of one switch 9 by holding both shafts. The fixing part 10 is a part for a stepping stone that comes into contact with the wheels of a vehicle, human feet, or luggage or a chair.

次に、本実施例の発電装置1の動作に関して説明する。シーソー式のスイッチ9に、発電機構12の外部からの人力または使用用途毎の発電対象物からの押圧力と云った力が加わって、スイッチ9と接触する事でスイッチ9が動き(揺動)、そのスイッチ9の動き(揺動)により第2中心軸3bが回転される。 Next, the operation of the power generation device 1 of this embodiment will be described. A force such as a human force from the outside of the power generation mechanism 12 or a pressing force from a power generation target for each intended use is applied to the seesaw type switch 9, and the switch 9 moves (swings) when it comes into contact with the switch 9. , The second central axis 3b is rotated by the movement (swing) of the switch 9.

その第2中心軸3bの回転により、発電機構12の外部から第2中心軸3bを介して力が第2可動部品3aに伝達され、第2可動部品3aが本実施例では一定量(図5及び図6では、時計方向に約19°〜20°)回転して可動する。従って第2可動部品3aは、発電機構12内ではスイッチ部分として機能し、スイッチング動作により可動する部品である。 Due to the rotation of the second central shaft 3b, a force is transmitted from the outside of the power generation mechanism 12 to the second movable component 3a via the second central shaft 3b, and the second movable component 3a is a fixed amount in this embodiment (FIG. 5). And in FIG. 6, it is movable by rotating clockwise (about 19 ° to 20 °). Therefore, the second movable component 3a is a component that functions as a switch portion in the power generation mechanism 12 and is movable by a switching operation.

第2可動部品3aの回転が第1可動部品2aに伝達される前段階では、第1可動部品2aはie2とie1とが釣り合う位置に保持されている。次に第2可動部品3aが回転すると、第1可動部品2aの歯部と第2可動部品3aの歯部が噛み合って連動が開始される。 In the stage before the rotation of the second movable part 3a is transmitted to the first movable part 2a, the first movable part 2a is held at a position where ie2 and ie1 are in equilibrium. Next, when the second movable part 3a rotates, the tooth part of the first movable part 2a and the tooth part of the second movable part 3a mesh with each other to start interlocking.

第2可動部品3aに力が伝達され続け、第1可動部品2aと第2可動部品3aの互いの歯部が噛み合わされている間第1可動部品2aは回転し続け、第2可動部品3aの回転が第1可動部品2aに伝達されて行く。よって、第1可動部品2aと第2可動部品3aの互いの歯部の噛み合いが外れるまで、第1可動部品2aは一定量回転される(本実施例の場合、図5及び図6で約120°〜121°の反時計方向の回転となる)。 The force continues to be transmitted to the second moving part 3a, and the first moving part 2a keeps rotating while the teeth of the first moving part 2a and the second moving part 3a are meshed with each other, and the second moving part 3a The rotation is transmitted to the first movable part 2a. Therefore, the first movable part 2a is rotated by a certain amount until the teeth of the first movable part 2a and the second movable part 3a are disengaged from each other (in the case of this embodiment, about 120 in FIGS. 5 and 6). ° ~ 121 ° counterclockwise rotation).

第1可動部品2aの一定量の回転に伴い、第1中心軸2bと前記第1巻回部も、第1可動部品2aと連動して一定量回転する。しかし、第1巻回部の自由端4a1はハウジング6の側面に初期状態で接触している為、動きが止められている。一方、第1巻回部の他端側は、第1可動部品2aに連結されている為、第1可動部品2aの一定量の回転に伴って回転移動していく。よって第1巻回部は捩られる事となり、第1可動部品2aと第2可動部品3aの互いの歯部の噛み合いに伴う捩りにより、弾性エネルギーie12(mJ)が第1巻回部に蓄積される。 With a certain amount of rotation of the first movable part 2a, the first central shaft 2b and the first winding portion also rotate by a certain amount in conjunction with the first movable part 2a. However, since the free end 4a1 of the first winding portion is in contact with the side surface of the housing 6 in the initial state, the movement is stopped. On the other hand, since the other end side of the first winding portion is connected to the first movable part 2a, it rotates and moves with a certain amount of rotation of the first movable part 2a. Therefore, the first winding part is twisted, and the elastic energy ie12 (mJ) is accumulated in the first winding part due to the twisting caused by the meshing of the teeth of the first moving part 2a and the second moving part 3a. NS.

第1巻回部の捩りは、第2可動部品3aに力が伝達され続けて第1可動部品2aと第2可動部品3aの互いの歯部が噛み合わされている間は保持される。従って、第1可動部品2aと第2可動部品3aの互いの歯部の噛み合いが外れる直前に於ける、第1巻回部の弾性エネルギーie12が最大量となる。本実施例では、第1可動部品2a及び第1中心軸2bが約120°〜121°回転した時点での弾性エネルギーie12が最大となる。 The twist of the first winding portion is held while the force is continuously transmitted to the second movable part 3a and the teeth of the first movable part 2a and the second movable part 3a are meshed with each other. Therefore, the elastic energy ie12 of the first winding portion becomes the maximum amount immediately before the teeth of the first movable component 2a and the second movable component 3a are disengaged from each other. In this embodiment, the elastic energy ie12 at the time when the first movable part 2a and the first central axis 2b are rotated by about 120 ° to 121 ° becomes the maximum.

第1可動部品2aが一定量回転した後に、図6に示す様に第1可動部品2aと第2可動部品3aの互いの歯部の噛み合いが外れる。すると、第1巻回部の捩りによる変形保持が外れ、第1巻回部の変形が解放され、ハウジング6側面に接触して止められていた第1巻回部の自由端4a1を支点にして、ie12により第1可動部品2aが逆方向に一定量回転する。本実施例では時計方向への約120°〜121°の回転となる(図6及び図7を参照)。即ち、ie12が第1可動部品2aの一定量の逆方向の回転に変換される。 After the first movable part 2a has rotated by a certain amount, the teeth of the first movable part 2a and the second movable part 3a are disengaged from each other as shown in FIG. Then, the deformation holding by the twist of the first winding part is released, the deformation of the first winding part is released, and the free end 4a1 of the first winding part, which has been stopped by contacting the side surface of the housing 6, is used as a fulcrum. , Ie12 causes the first movable part 2a to rotate in the opposite direction by a certain amount. In this embodiment, the rotation is about 120 ° to 121 ° clockwise (see FIGS. 6 and 7). That is, ie12 is converted into a certain amount of reverse rotation of the first moving part 2a.

第1可動部品2aの一定量の逆方向の回転に伴い、第1中心軸2bも一定量だけ逆方向に回転すると共に平歯車7も連動して回転し、更に平歯車8を介してシャフト5aが一定量及び一定の速度で回転される。なお、平歯車7と8の歯数比により、第1可動部品2aと第1中心軸2bの回転量に於ける「一定量」と、発電機5のシャフト5aの回転量に於ける「一定量」は、それぞれ異なる。シャフト5aが一定量及び一定の速度で回転される事で、発電機5内部で電力が発生されて発電が行われる。その電力により、発電装置1の用途に応じてハウジング6に別途、樹脂部6bとして嵌め込み可能に設けた、図示しない赤外線など無線通信装置を起動させる事が可能となる。無線通信装置が起動され無線信号が発信されて、例えば車両や人間の進入又は通過や、椅子や荷物の載置又は撤去状態が報知可能となる。なお防塵の為に、別途シート等を発電装置1に掛けても良い。 With a certain amount of rotation of the first movable part 2a in the opposite direction, the first central shaft 2b also rotates in the opposite direction by a certain amount, the spur gear 7 also rotates in conjunction with it, and the shaft 5a further passes through the spur gear 8. Is rotated by a constant amount and at a constant speed. Depending on the gear ratio of the spur gears 7 and 8, the "constant amount" in the rotation amount of the first movable part 2a and the first central shaft 2b and the "constant amount" in the rotation amount of the shaft 5a of the generator 5. The amount is different. By rotating the shaft 5a by a constant amount and at a constant speed, electric power is generated inside the generator 5 to generate electric power. With the electric power, it is possible to activate a wireless communication device such as infrared rays (not shown), which is separately provided in the housing 6 as a resin portion 6b according to the application of the power generation device 1. The wireless communication device is activated and a wireless signal is transmitted, so that it is possible to notify, for example, the entry or passage of a vehicle or a person, or the loading or removal state of a chair or luggage. A separate sheet or the like may be hung on the power generation device 1 to prevent dust.

シャフト5aの回転量及び速度は、第1可動部品2aの逆方向の回転量即ちie12の最大値と、平歯車7と8の歯数比に応じて変わる。第1可動部品2aと第2可動部品3aの互いの歯部が噛み合うピッチ円の円弧長に伴って、ie12は任意の一定量で設定可能である。一方で、平歯車7と8の歯数比も任意の一定量に設定可能である。従って、発電機構12毎の仕様に応じて、シャフト5aの回転量も任意の一定量で設定する事が出来る為、発電機5による電力量も、第2可動部品3aに伝わる外部からの力の速度に関係無く一定値に設定可能となる。 The amount of rotation and speed of the shaft 5a change according to the amount of rotation of the first movable part 2a in the opposite direction, that is, the maximum value of ie12, and the gear ratio of the spur gears 7 and 8. The ie12 can be set by an arbitrary fixed amount according to the arc length of the pitch circle in which the teeth of the first movable part 2a and the second movable part 3a mesh with each other. On the other hand, the gear ratio of the spur gears 7 and 8 can be set to an arbitrary fixed amount. Therefore, the amount of rotation of the shaft 5a can be set at an arbitrary fixed amount according to the specifications of each power generation mechanism 12, so that the amount of electric power generated by the generator 5 is also the amount of external force transmitted to the second moving part 3a. It can be set to a constant value regardless of the speed.

第1可動部品2aの一定量の逆方向の回転後に弾性エネルギーie12は減衰される。同時に、第1中心軸2bの逆方向の回転に伴って、第2巻回部の自由端4b1もその回転に伴って移動し、第2巻回部の自由端4b1がハウジング6の側面に接触して自由端4b1の動きが止められる。一方、第2巻回部の他端側は、第1可動部品2aに連結されている為、第1可動部品2aの一定量の逆方向の回転に伴って回転移動していく。よって自由端4b1の動きが止まった時から第2巻回部は捩られる事となり、その捩りによる弾性エネルギーの第2巻回部への蓄積が開始される。 The elastic energy ie12 is damped after a certain amount of reverse rotation of the first moving part 2a. At the same time, as the first central axis 2b rotates in the opposite direction, the free end 4b1 of the second winding portion also moves with the rotation, and the free end 4b1 of the second winding portion contacts the side surface of the housing 6. Then the movement of the free end 4b1 is stopped. On the other hand, since the other end side of the second winding portion is connected to the first movable part 2a, it rotates and moves with a certain amount of rotation of the first movable part 2a in the opposite direction. Therefore, when the movement of the free end 4b1 stops, the second winding portion is twisted, and the elastic energy due to the twisting starts to be accumulated in the second winding portion.

しかしながら、第1可動部品2aと第2可動部品3aの互いの歯部はこの時点では既に噛み合っていない為、第2巻回部の捩れは保持されずに直ちに解放される。よって、この時点での弾性エネルギーの第2巻回部への蓄積は行われない。一方、ハウジング6側面に接触して止められていた第2巻回部の自由端4b1を支点にして、ie1とie2のみによって第1中心軸2bが回転されてie1とie2とが等しくなって釣り合う回転位置に保持される。この第1中心軸2bの回転により、第1可動部品2aは初期状態(第1可動部品2aの歯部と第2可動部品3aの歯部が噛み合う前の状態)に復帰される。 However, since the teeth of the first moving part 2a and the second moving part 3a are not already meshed at this point, the twist of the second winding part is not held and is immediately released. Therefore, the elastic energy at this point is not accumulated in the second winding portion. On the other hand, with the free end 4b1 of the second winding part that was stopped in contact with the side surface of the housing 6 as a fulcrum, the first central axis 2b is rotated only by ie1 and ie2, and ie1 and ie2 become equal and balanced. It is held in the rotating position. By the rotation of the first central shaft 2b, the first movable part 2a is returned to the initial state (the state before the tooth part of the first movable part 2a and the tooth part of the second movable part 3a mesh with each other).

第1可動部品2aと第2可動部品3aの互いの歯部の噛み合いが外れ、第1可動部品2aが一定量逆方向に回転した後に、弾性付与手段11に付与されている初期弾性エネルギーie3によって第2可動部品3aは回転方向とは逆方向(図7から図8に於いて反時計方向)の回転力が付与されて回転して行く。この逆方向の回転により第2中心軸3bも逆方向に回転し、スイッチ9も同一角度だけ逆方向に回転して行く。スイッチ9のこの逆方向の回転により、スイッチ9に於ける上方への突出高さ(図7と図8では、スイッチ9の左端部の突出高さ)を抑制可能となる。突出高さが抑制される事でスイッチ9の動作量(スイッチ9の揺動に伴う回転量)も抑制される為、固定部品10方向にスイッチ9が押し込まれる際に生じる衝撃力を抑制する事が可能となる。従って、スイッチ9の動作に伴う衝撃力を緩和出来る為、発電装置1の耐久性を向上させる事が可能となる。 After the teeth of the first movable part 2a and the second movable part 3a are disengaged from each other and the first movable part 2a is rotated in the opposite direction by a certain amount, the initial elastic energy ie3 applied to the elasticity applying means 11 The second movable component 3a rotates by applying a rotational force in the direction opposite to the rotation direction (counterclockwise in FIGS. 7 to 8). Due to this rotation in the opposite direction, the second central axis 3b also rotates in the opposite direction, and the switch 9 also rotates in the opposite direction by the same angle. This rotation of the switch 9 in the opposite direction makes it possible to suppress the upward protrusion height of the switch 9 (the protrusion height of the left end portion of the switch 9 in FIGS. 7 and 8). Since the protrusion height is suppressed, the operating amount of the switch 9 (the amount of rotation accompanying the swing of the switch 9) is also suppressed, so that the impact force generated when the switch 9 is pushed in the direction of the fixed component 10 is suppressed. Is possible. Therefore, since the impact force associated with the operation of the switch 9 can be alleviated, the durability of the power generation device 1 can be improved.

第2可動部品3aの逆方向の回転は図8に示す様に、第1可動部品2aの歯部と第2可動部品3aの歯部が互いに接触して、第2可動部品3aの逆方向の回転が止まるまで行われる事がより好ましい。第1可動部品2aと第2可動部品3aの互いの歯部が接触するまでスイッチ9を逆方向に回転させる事で、スイッチ9の突出高さを一層低減出来て、スイッチ9の動作量も低減可能となり、衝撃力が一層緩和出来る。従って、発電装置1の耐久性をより向上させる事が可能となる。 As shown in FIG. 8, the rotation of the second movable part 3a in the opposite direction is such that the tooth portion of the first movable part 2a and the tooth portion of the second movable part 3a come into contact with each other and the second movable part 3a is rotated in the opposite direction. It is more preferable that the rotation is stopped. By rotating the switch 9 in the opposite direction until the teeth of the first movable component 2a and the second movable component 3a come into contact with each other, the protruding height of the switch 9 can be further reduced, and the amount of operation of the switch 9 is also reduced. It becomes possible and the impact force can be further reduced. Therefore, it is possible to further improve the durability of the power generation device 1.

更に最も好ましい発電装置1の動作は、次の通りである。 The most preferable operation of the power generation device 1 is as follows.

弾性付与手段11の巻回数の増加や、弾性付与手段11のバネ定数を大きくして、初期弾性エネルギーie3を増大させる事で、図8又は図9の状態から、初期弾性エネルギーie3のみに依って図10及び図11の状態へと第2可動部品3aを更に逆方向に回転させる。図11では、約9°〜10°の反時計方向の回転となる。第2可動部品3aが逆方向に回転する際に、第1可動部品2aの歯部と第2可動部品3aの歯部が互いに接触して再び噛み合って互いに連動し、第1可動部品2aが逆方向に一定量回転される。 By increasing the number of turns of the elasticity-imparting means 11 or increasing the spring constant of the elasticity-imparting means 11 to increase the initial elastic energy ie3, from the state of FIG. 8 or FIG. The second movable component 3a is further rotated in the opposite direction to the state shown in FIGS. 10 and 11. In FIG. 11, the rotation is about 9 ° to 10 ° in the counterclockwise direction. When the second movable part 3a rotates in the opposite direction, the tooth part of the first movable part 2a and the tooth part of the second movable part 3a come into contact with each other and mesh with each other again to interlock with each other, and the first movable part 2a reverses. It is rotated by a certain amount in the direction.

第1可動部品2aの一定量の逆方向の回転により、第1中心軸2bと前記第2巻回部も、第1可動部品2aと連動して一定量回転する。しかし、第2巻回部の自由端4b1はハウジング6の側面に接触している為、動きが止められている。一方、第2巻回部の第2の端部4b2側は第1可動部品2aに連結されている為、第1可動部品2aの一定量の回転に伴って回転移動していく。よって第2巻回部は捩られる事となり、第1可動部品2aと第2可動部品3aの互いの歯部の噛み合いに伴う捩りにより、弾性エネルギーie22(mJ)が第2巻回部に蓄積される。 Due to a certain amount of rotation of the first movable part 2a in the opposite direction, the first central shaft 2b and the second winding portion also rotate by a certain amount in conjunction with the first movable part 2a. However, since the free end 4b1 of the second winding portion is in contact with the side surface of the housing 6, the movement is stopped. On the other hand, since the second end 4b2 side of the second winding portion is connected to the first movable part 2a, it rotates and moves with a certain amount of rotation of the first movable part 2a. Therefore, the second winding part is twisted, and the elastic energy ie22 (mJ) is accumulated in the second winding part due to the twisting caused by the meshing of the teeth of the first moving part 2a and the second moving part 3a. NS.

第2巻回部の捩りは、第2可動部品3aに前記逆方向の力が伝達され続けて第1可動部品2aと第2可動部品3aの互いの歯部が噛み合わされている間は保持される。従って、第1可動部品2aと第2可動部品3aの互いの歯部の噛み合いが外れる直前に於ける、第2巻回部の弾性エネルギーie22が最大量となる。本実施例では、第1可動部品2a及び第1中心軸2bが約115°回転した時点での弾性エネルギーie22が最大となる。 The twist of the second winding portion is held while the force in the opposite direction is continuously transmitted to the second movable part 3a and the teeth of the first movable part 2a and the second movable part 3a are meshed with each other. NS. Therefore, the elastic energy ie22 of the second winding portion becomes the maximum amount immediately before the teeth of the first movable component 2a and the second movable component 3a are disengaged from each other. In this embodiment, the elastic energy ie22 at the time when the first movable part 2a and the first central axis 2b are rotated by about 115 ° becomes the maximum.

第1可動部品2aが逆方向に一定量回転した後に、図10から図11へと示す様に第1可動部品2aと第2可動部品3aの互いの歯部の噛み合いが外れる。すると、第2巻回部の捩りによる変形保持が外れ、第2巻回部の変形が解放され、ハウジング6側面に接触して止められていた第2巻回部の自由端4b1を支点にして、ie22により第1中心軸2bが一定量回転する。(本実施例では反時計方向への約115°の回転となる)。即ち、ie22が第1中心軸2bの一定量の回転に変換される。 After the first movable component 2a is rotated by a certain amount in the opposite direction, the teeth of the first movable component 2a and the second movable component 3a are disengaged from each other as shown in FIGS. 10 to 11. Then, the deformation holding by the twist of the second winding part is released, the deformation of the second winding part is released, and the free end 4b1 of the second winding part, which has been stopped by contacting the side surface of the housing 6, is used as a fulcrum. , IE22 causes the first central axis 2b to rotate by a certain amount. (In this embodiment, the rotation is about 115 ° counterclockwise). That is, ie22 is converted into a certain amount of rotation of the first central axis 2b.

第1中心軸2bの一定量の回転に伴い、平歯車7も連結して一定量回転し、平歯車8を介してシャフト5aが一定量及び一定の速度で回転され、発電機5で再び発電が行われる。即ち、第1中心軸2bの回転が発電機5に伝達されて、発電機5のシャフト5aが回転され、発電機5で再び電力が発生される。 Along with a certain amount of rotation of the first central shaft 2b, the spur gear 7 is also connected and rotates by a constant amount, the shaft 5a is rotated by a constant amount and a constant speed via the spur gear 8, and the generator 5 generates electricity again. Is done. That is, the rotation of the first central shaft 2b is transmitted to the generator 5, the shaft 5a of the generator 5 is rotated, and electric power is generated again in the generator 5.

この様に、初期弾性エネルギーie3の増大により、スイッチ9の一回のスイッチング動作(スイッチ9への、車両の車輪や人間の足、又は荷物や椅子の接触)で、発電機5により二回発電を行う事が可能となる。従って一回のスイッチング動作に伴い発電装置1で発生可能な電力量が二倍となり、より大きな無線信号を発電装置1から発信出来る。なお図11の後に図5の状態へと復帰される。依って、第1可動部品2aと第2可動部品3aの噛み合い後にそのまま前記初期状態に弾性付与手段11の弾性力(初期弾性エネルギーie3)のみで発電装置1を復帰させる事も可能となる。従って、図9の状態から、図10乃至図11まで初期弾性エネルギーie3)のみで動作させる事が、最も好ましい発電装置1の動作と云える。 In this way, due to the increase in the initial elastic energy ie3, the generator 5 generates electricity twice in one switching operation of the switch 9 (contact of the wheel of the vehicle, human foot, or luggage or chair with the switch 9). It becomes possible to do. Therefore, the amount of electric power that can be generated by the power generation device 1 is doubled with one switching operation, and a larger wireless signal can be transmitted from the power generation device 1. After FIG. 11, the state of FIG. 5 is restored. Therefore, it is possible to restore the power generation device 1 to the initial state as it is after the engagement of the first movable component 2a and the second movable component 3a with only the elastic force (initial elastic energy ie3) of the elastic applying means 11. Therefore, it can be said that the most preferable operation of the power generation device 1 is to operate only the initial elastic energy ie3) from the state of FIG. 9 to FIGS. 10 to 11.

なお、本発明はその技術的思想に基づいて種々変更可能であり、例えば図12及び図16,図17に示す様に弾性付与手段11を第2中心軸3bに巻回して、発電装置1を動作させても良い。図12〜図18に示す変更例の説明は、図2及び図5〜図11の実施例と異なる点のみとする。前記図3と図4は、変更例でも適用する。 The present invention can be variously modified based on the technical idea. For example, as shown in FIGS. 12, 16 and 17, the elasticity imparting means 11 is wound around the second central axis 3b to provide the power generation device 1. It may be operated. The description of the modified examples shown in FIGS. 12 to 18 is limited to the differences from the embodiments of FIGS. 2 and 5 to 11. The above FIGS. 3 and 4 also apply to the modified example.

変更例が実施例と異なる点は、弾性付与手段11の巻回方向が、図16と図17では第2可動部品3aに向かうに従い第2中心軸3bに反時計方向に巻回されている点である。従って図16及び図17に於いて、初期弾性エネルギーie3(mJ)に依って第2の可動部品3aに時計回りの回転力が付与される。弾性付与手段11の第2の端部はハウジング6の何処に固定されていても良いが、ie3に依って第2の可動部品3aに時計回りの回転力を付与させる為には、図16及び図17に於いて、弾性付与手段11の巻回部の上側周縁部から右側に捩りコイルバネの端部を引き出し、図の右側に位置する図示しないハウジング6部分(本実施例では仕切り板6a)に固定する事が望ましい。図12に弾性付与手段11の端部を仕切り板6aに固定する状態を図示している。 The modified example differs from the embodiment in that the winding direction of the elasticity applying means 11 is wound counterclockwise around the second central axis 3b toward the second movable part 3a in FIGS. 16 and 17. Is. Therefore, in FIGS. 16 and 17, a clockwise rotational force is applied to the second movable part 3a by the initial elastic energy ie3 (mJ). The second end portion of the elasticity applying means 11 may be fixed anywhere in the housing 6, but in order to apply a clockwise rotational force to the second movable part 3a by ie3, FIG. In FIG. 17, the end of the torsion coil spring is pulled out to the right from the upper peripheral edge of the winding portion of the elasticity applying means 11, and is placed on a housing 6 portion (partition plate 6a in this embodiment) located on the right side of the drawing. It is desirable to fix it. FIG. 12 shows a state in which the end portion of the elasticity applying means 11 is fixed to the partition plate 6a.

更に、変更例では図13に示す第1可動部品2aと第2可動部品3aの位置を初期状態とする。従って発電装置が動作する時、前記実施例とは第1可動部品2aと第2可動部品3aは別方向に回転動作する事となる。 Further, in the modified example, the positions of the first movable part 2a and the second movable part 3a shown in FIG. 13 are set to the initial state. Therefore, when the power generation device operates, the first movable component 2a and the second movable component 3a rotate in different directions from those in the above embodiment.

図13の状態からスイッチ9に車両の車輪や人間の足、又は荷物や椅子が接触すると、図13〜図15に示す様に第2可動部品3aが反時計方向に回転して第1可動部品2aと噛み合い、第1可動部品2aが時計方向に回転して前記ie22が蓄積される。その後第1可動部品2aと第2可動部品3aの噛み合いが外れる事で前記ie22が解放されて第2可動部品3aが反時計方向に回転し、発電機5で発電が行われ図16の状態となる。 When the wheel of the vehicle, human foot, luggage, or chair comes into contact with the switch 9 from the state of FIG. 13, the second movable component 3a rotates counterclockwise as shown in FIGS. 13 to 15, and the first movable component It meshes with 2a, the first movable part 2a rotates clockwise, and the ie22 is accumulated. After that, when the first movable part 2a and the second movable part 3a are disengaged, the ie22 is released, the second movable part 3a rotates counterclockwise, and the generator 5 generates electricity, which is the state shown in FIG. Become.

すると初期弾性エネルギーie3によって第2可動部品3aは回転方向とは逆方向(図16から図17に於いて時計方向)の回転力が付与されて回転して行く。この逆方向の回転により第2中心軸3bも逆方向に回転し、スイッチ9も同一角度だけ逆方向に回転して行く。よって、スイッチ9の右端部の突出高さと動作量が抑制され、スイッチ9の動作に伴う衝撃力が緩和でき、発電装置1の耐久性を向上させる事が可能となる。 Then, the initial elastic energy ie3 applies a rotational force in the direction opposite to the rotational direction (clockwise in FIGS. 16 to 17) to rotate the second movable component 3a. Due to this rotation in the opposite direction, the second central axis 3b also rotates in the opposite direction, and the switch 9 also rotates in the opposite direction by the same angle. Therefore, the protruding height and the amount of operation of the right end portion of the switch 9 are suppressed, the impact force associated with the operation of the switch 9 can be alleviated, and the durability of the power generation device 1 can be improved.

第2可動部品3aの逆方向の回転は図17に示す様に、第1可動部品2aの歯部と第2可動部品3aの歯部が互いに接触して、第2可動部品3aの逆方向の回転が止まるまで行われる事がより好ましい。 As shown in FIG. 17, the rotation of the second movable part 3a in the reverse direction is such that the tooth portion of the first movable part 2a and the tooth portion of the second movable part 3a come into contact with each other and the second movable part 3a is rotated in the opposite direction. It is more preferable that the rotation is stopped.

更に変更例でも、図17〜図18及び図13に示す様に、初期弾性エネルギーie3のみに依って第2可動部品3aを更に逆方向に回転させ、前記ie1の蓄積及び解放により発電機5により二回目の発電を行わせる事が可能となる為、最も好ましい。 Further, in the modified example, as shown in FIGS. 17 to 18 and 13, the second movable part 3a is further rotated in the opposite direction only by the initial elastic energy ie3, and the generator 5 accumulates and releases the ie1. It is most preferable because it enables the second generation of power generation.

なお本実施例及び変更例で説明したように、第1可動部品2aと第2可動部品3aの回転量に於ける「一定量」は同一とは限らない。本実施例及び変更例のように各部品の各回転方向に応じて「一定量」は異なる場合がある。また、各部品(2a、3a)の寸法の差異によって回転角にも差異が生じる。 As described in this embodiment and the modified example, the "constant amount" in the rotation amount of the first movable part 2a and the second movable part 3a is not always the same. As in the present embodiment and the modified example, the "constant amount" may differ depending on each rotation direction of each component. In addition, the rotation angle also differs due to the difference in the dimensions of each part (2a, 3a).

なお図5,図6,図9〜図11,図13〜図15,図18では、第1可動部品2aと第2可動部品3aの互いの歯部の噛み合い状態の見易さを優先して、捩りコイルバネ4の図示は省略している。 In FIGS. 5, 6, 9 to 11, 13 to 15, and 18, priority is given to the ease of viewing the meshed state of the teeth of the first movable part 2a and the second movable part 3a. , The drawing of the torsion coil spring 4 is omitted.

発電機5は、少なくともコイルとマグネットを含み、電力を発生させて発電する装置であれば、モータに限定されない。なお、発電機5にモータを使用する場合、モータのイナーシャが低い場合は歯数比(平歯車8の歯数に対する平歯車7の歯数比)も低く設定し、イナーシャが大きい場合は歯数比を高く設定すれば良い。 The generator 5 is not limited to a motor as long as it is a device that includes at least a coil and a magnet and generates electric power to generate electric power. When a motor is used for the generator 5, the gear ratio (the ratio of the number of teeth of the spur gear 7 to the number of teeth of the spur gear 8) is set low when the inertia of the motor is low, and the number of teeth is set when the inertia is large. The ratio should be set high.

なお、第1可動部品2a又は第2可動部品の歯車に換えて、ワンウェイクラッチ (One-way clutch、1-Way clutch)を使用しても良い。 A one-way clutch (1-Way clutch) may be used instead of the gear of the first movable part 2a or the second movable part.
