Title:
MULTI-DEGREE-OF-FREEDOM POWER GENERATION SHOE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2018183552
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a constitution and a structure capable of being housed in a shoe sole, while increasing power generation efficiency, by efficiently utilizing the whole three-dimensional six-degrees-of-freedom movement, which is made by a shoe in association with walking and the like, for electric energy conversion.SOLUTION: In order to achieve the above purpose, a parallel link structure is provided within a shoe sole to effectively utilize energy generated by complicated body weight shift such as compression, tilting and turning, associated with walking. Link crossing is also achieved so that great link length can be secured to effectively utilize a laminated piezoelectric element accommodated in the link. Additionally, a link structure using the laminated piezoelectric element is provided.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3
