Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting Technology Based on Air Excitation and Its Application and Prospect in Pneumatic System

Pneumatic technology is developing fast and it towards the direction of intelligence and wireless. More and more intelligent sensors are introduced into pneumatic system to realize monitoring and feedback. Therefore, achieving long-term and stable energy supply is one of key problems in pneumatic system. We indicate that piezoelectric material can produce milliwatt-level power, and the energy level can be suitable for low-power sensors. Therefore, this technology is expected to be a new power supply technology for battery life and to make low-power sensors work stably for a long time. We introduce the origin of piezoelectric energy harvesting technology and structure and research status of piezoelectric energy harvester under air excitation, and our work on this technology. The results show that piezoelectric material can directly convert pressure energy into electric energy, and the maximum output power is close to 10 mW with a single patch. A magnetic switch in pneumatic system can be turned by an electric circuit. This technology may extend the battery life, and even become the main energy source for low power sensors in pneumatic systems in the future.
