Abstract:

In view of the self-supplying problem of the real-time monitoring system of railway vehicle axle temperature, this study proposes a new type of double-degree-of-freedom vibration energy harvester of railway vehicle axle box with suspended magnet structure.The proposed harvester can be used to convert the vibration energy existing in the working environment of the vehicle axle box into electrical energy. Based on the mechanical lumped system model and the electromechanical coupling model, the finite element model of the double-degree-of-freedom vibration energy harvester is constructed through multi-physics coupling. A new type of suspension magnet structure is designed by adding the inner ring radiating magnetizing magnet, and the output characteristics of the vibration energy harvester under harmonic excitation are studied. Compared with the copper block-permanent magnet composite suspension magnet structure, the output performance of the proposed structure is increased by 165%. The peak output current of the energy harvester system is 63.0 mA and the peak power is 13.22 mW. This research provides theoretical guidance for improving the response characteristics and output performance of the magnetic levitation vibration energy harvester.
