This paper investigates a vibration energy harvester with bistable characteristics using a seesaw-type approach to enhance its low-frequency performance. Through establishing electromechanical coupling equations and conducting time-domain and frequency-domain analyses, it is found that the mechanical and electrical responses can be gradually enhanced within certain parameter ranges. Additionally, adjusting the position and length of the internal beam also affects the system's responses.
Vibration energy harvesters with bistable characteristics, which can convert mechanical energy to electric energy, are typically cantilever beams with magnetic repulsion. In order to enhance their low-frequency performance, a seesaw-type approach has been proposed, which can make the structure overcome the potential barrier more easily. In this paper, we establish electromechanical coupling equations of the whole system, and prove that the internal beam delivers mechanical energy to the primary beam based on time-domain analysis. Meanwhile, frequency-domain analysis and solutions are conducted to investigate the dynamical and electrical behaviors of the system based on the adjustment of different parameters. We find that both the mechanical and electrical responses are enhanced gradually with the decrease of the relative damping coefficient within the bounds of the discussion. And the maximum response amplitude can be increased by a factor of 11.3 just by adjusting the position of the internal beam. Furthermore, the length of the internal beam can affect the responses of the system visibly and regularly, and the maximum response amplitude remains unchanged when changing the length of the internal beam from 80 to 100 mm. All of this suggests that the mechanisms of a seesaw-type energy harvester will provide guidance for designing a more appropriate structure, depending on different applications.
