VIBRATION ENERGY DETECTION APPARATUS AND VIBRATION ENERGY DETECTION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A vibration energy detection apparatus comprising:
- a vibration power generator installed in an inspection object that converts vibration energy generated in the inspection object into power;
an electric storage unit that stores generated power of the vibration power generator;
a voltage monitor that monitors a storage voltage of the electric storage unit;
a discharge controller that discharges electric storage energy of the electric storage unit when the storage voltage of the electric storage unit exceeds a predetermined storage voltage; and
a vibration energy calculator that calculates the vibration energy generated in the inspection object based on the number of formation times of an electric storage state of the electric storage unit,wherein the electric storage state is continuously or intermittently formed by the discharge by the discharge controller.
