Description
BACKGROUND OF THE
In recent years, there has been a great deal of interest in the use of energy that is dumped from the surrounding area into available electrical energy.
These main energy sources are vibration, light, heat, electromagnetic wave, etc. This technology is used to acquire such energy. When the temperature of the contact point is different in a closed circuit composed of different kinds of metal junction, a thermoelectric effect (Seebeck Effect or Thermo-electric Effect or a technique using a piezoelectric effect in which electricity is generated when a pressure is applied to the piezoelectric element.
Piezoelectric effect is used to convert vibration or impact energy generated by a large rotating machine or structure into electric energy. Piezoelectric effect can also be used in obtaining energy by vibration of power transformer.
1 is a view showing a crystal structure of a piezoelectric element.
Referring to FIG. 1, when a tensile force or a compressive force is applied to a piezoelectric element (quartz crystal), the crystal structure is temporarily deformed to change the relative positions of + ions and - ions, thereby causing a polarization phenomenon. As a result, when a tensile force and a compressive force are applied to the piezoelectric element, electric fields opposite to each other are formed on both sides of the piezoelectric element.
A technique of connecting an electric circuit to a piezoelectric element using this principle and charging it with electric energy resulting from electric field generation is used.
Prior art related to the present invention is Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2013-0033223 (published on Mar. 03, 2013, entitled "Vibration Energy Collecting Apparatus of Frequency Increasing Conversion Type").
Since the conventional electric energy charging device was developed for the purpose of being installed on a road or a railway, it is configured to acquire an energy having a frequency of irregularity and a wide frequency range.
Therefore, there is no energy charging apparatus developed for obtaining the vibration energy of the power transformer, and there is a problem that the charging efficiency is low when the existing electric energy charging apparatus is used for the power transformer.
Conventionally, a method of converting an energy source discarded by using a piezoelectric element into electric energy has a problem that electric energy is generated by up-and-down motions, so that the charging efficiency is low because of high voltage and low current as compared with rotational motion.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a piezoelectric transformer in which a plurality of cantilevers designed to resonate in response to a vibration frequency of a plurality of piezoelectric elements and power transformers are modularized, And an object of the present invention is to provide a vibration energy obtaining apparatus for a power transformer capable of improving vibration energy charging efficiency of a power transformer.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for acquiring vibration energy of a power transformer, comprising: a plurality of energy acquiring units for converting respective vibrations according to a plurality of frequencies generated in a power transformer into electric energy; A plurality of rectifying units for rectifying respective electric energy converted through the plurality of energy obtaining units; And a charging unit charging electric energy rectified through the plurality of rectifying units.

In the present invention, each of the cantilevers included in the plurality of energy acquisition units resonates in response to harmonic vibrations of an integral multiple of 120 Hz.
In the present invention, each of the plurality of energy acquisition units may further include an adjusting weight for adjusting the weight of the cantilever to assist the resonance.
In the present invention, the plurality of rectifying units rectify the respective electric energies by a bridge rectification method.
The present invention further includes a smoothing unit for smoothing the electric energy rectified through the plurality of rectifying units.
In the present invention, the plurality of charging units are configured to charge the charging unit other than the specific charging unit when the voltage charged in the specific charging unit exceeds the reference voltage.
According to the present invention, by converting the energy generated by the vibration of the power transformer, the waste energy can be recycled.
Further, according to the present invention, the vibration energy charging efficiency can be improved by modularizing a plurality of piezoelectric elements and a plurality of cantilevers, respectively, and can be easily replaced and used when a partial failure occurs.

Hereinafter, an apparatus for acquiring vibration energy of a power transformer according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In this process, the thicknesses of the lines and the sizes of the components shown in the drawings may be exaggerated for clarity and convenience of explanation. In addition, the terms described below are defined in consideration of the functions of the present invention, which may vary depending on the intention or custom of the user, the operator. Therefore, definitions of these terms should be made based on the contents throughout this specification.
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a hysteresis curve and a modification of the transformer iron core. FIG. 2 (A) shows a hysteresis curve for the magnetic flux variation of the iron core according to the magnetic field strength, Fig.
The transformer is an apparatus for generating an alternating magnetic flux in the iron core by the alternating voltage applied to the high-voltage winding, and modifying the voltage by the electromagnetic induction action to supply the alternating voltage to the low-voltage winding.
Specifically, the iron core has a structure in which a steel sheet having a thickness of 2.3 mm to 3 mm is laminated. The material is a ferromagnetic material containing 0.5 to 5% of silicon in iron. When magnetic flux is introduced into the iron core and magnetized, A shape change occurs, which is called magnetic distortion or magnetostriction.
When a power source with a frequency of 60 Hz is applied to the transformer, the iron core is magnetized non-linearly as shown in Fig. 3 (A), and deformation of the iron core occurs as shown in Fig. 2 (B).
Since such deformation occurs irrespective of the direction of the magnetic flux, a harmonic vibration (120, 240, 360, 480 ...) of n times the frequency of the power source frequency of 120 Hz is generated.
Therefore, all transformers inevitably generate 120 Hz harmonic component vibration due to magnetostriction, and the generated vibration is transmitted to the transformer enclosure through the insulation or support structure of the transformer.
3 is a graph showing a measurement of the vibration frequency of the power transformer.
Referring to FIG. 3, the vibration measured in the power transformer enclosure does not include a vibration component other than the 120 Hz harmonic component, and the components below 1 kHz occupy the majority.
Therefore, in the case of a transformer, it is helpful to select and acquire only vibrational energy that oscillates at a frequency of 1 kHz or less to improve the efficiency of electric energy acquisition.

The vibration energy obtaining apparatus of the power transformer according to the present embodiment increases the energy acquisition effect as it is widely distributed in the transformer enclosure. However, reducing the contact surface between the enclosure and the outside air may degrade the cooling performance of the power transformer.
In this regard, the vibration of the power transformer mainly occurs on the side surface, and occurs more intensively in the flat portion than in the elliptical bent portion. Therefore, when the vibrational energy obtaining apparatus according to this embodiment is installed between the braces on the side of the transformer, It is possible to maximize the acquisition efficiency of the vibration energy while minimizing the performance deterioration.

According to the present embodiment, by converting the energy generated by the vibration of the power transformer, the waste energy can be recycled.
In addition, the present embodiment can improve the charging efficiency of vibration energy by constituting a plurality of piezoelectric elements and a plurality of cantilevers by modularizing them, respectively, and can be easily replaced and used when a partial failure occurs.
In addition, since the present embodiment is installed in a transformer, unlike a vibration energy obtaining apparatus installed on a road or a railroad, it is possible to generate electricity continuously for 24 hours and energy can be continuously charged.
