Design, modeling and simulation of a novel transducer for vibration energy recovery system of speed bump

Abstract

Based on the designed vibration energy recovery system of speed bump, the structure and principle of a novel transducer are introduced in this paper, which is an important part of the system. AMEsim simulation software was used to study the characteristics of the transducer, and the feasibility of the transducer design was verified through modeling and analysis of the dual-cylinder transducer. The coupling model of vehicle speed bump and transducer was analyzed, the dynamic differential equation was listed, and the decoupling operation was carried out. On the basis of the above, Matlab/Simulink was used to establish the model simulation, and the time-domain responses of displacement, velocity and acceleration of the vibration of the car body, wheel and transducer in the coupling model system were analyzed. The control variable method was used to further explore the time-domain response of vehicle acceleration in the coupling system only when the vehicle speed changes or the transducer damping changes. Finally, the vibration energy recovery system of the speed bump was built, and the preliminary test proved that the transducer can realize its function.
