摘 要: 针对Terfenol?D/PZT/Terfenol?D复合磁电换能器将环境振动能量转化为电能时,在低频环境下难以实现匹配的情况,提出一种非线性开关匹配电路的方法。该电路在较小的电感和较高的开关频率下,以非线性的方式提高了复合换能器功率的匹配输出。并且针对换能器输出不能直接为无线传感节点供能的问题,设计了一种存储和电源管理电路。实验结果表明,采用非线性开关匹配电路,输出提高2.1倍,当存储超级电容电量积累到一定程度,管理电路控制瞬间放电电路放电,成功驱动最大功耗为75 mW的无线传感器节点正常工作,放电时间持续620 ms,最大放电功率可达120 mW。

Abstract: The Terfenol?D/PZT/Terfenol?D composite magnetoelectric transducer can transform the environmental vibration energy into electric energy, but it is difficult to match the power in low frequency environment. Therefore, a method of nonlinear switch matching circuit is presented. The nonlinear processing technique can improve the power matching output of composite transducer when the circuit works at the conditions of small inductance and high switching frequency. Since the output of Terfenol?D/PZT/Terfenol?D magnetoelectric composite transducer can′t directly supply the power for wireless sensor node, a storage and power management circuit is designed. The experimental results show that the output power of the nonlinear switch matching circuit is increased by 2.1 times. When the electric quantity stored in super?capacity is accumulated to a certain level, the management circuit controls the discharging of instant discharging circuit, and successful drives the wireless sensor node with maximum power consumption of 75 mW, the discharging time can last for 620 ms, and the maximum discharging power can reach up to 120 mW.

目前无线传感节点在电能供给的方式上,一般采用电池对各种节点供电。尽管电池的储能密度和使用寿命不断得以提高,传统化学电池仍具有一些无法改变的供能缺点:体积大、质量大、供能寿命有限,能量耗尽需重复充电。随着无线网络广泛的分布,传感节点数目越来越庞大,并且由于有些节点的分布位置难以到达,人为更换电池变得极为不便甚至于不可能,因此将采集环境中其他形式的能量转化为电能成为了研究热点[1?3]。
近年来,文献[4?6]对Terfenol?D和PZT复合磁电换能器进行了研究,发现磁电换能器具有的磁电电压系数很大,谐振磁电转换系数较高。……
