GENERATORS MADE OF ELECTROACTIVE POLYMERS (EAP) IN DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLY

摘要

The invention relates to a device for converting mechanical energy into electrical energy, comprising a first generator (1) having electrical electrodes (11a, 11b) and an electroactive polymer (81), a second generator (2) having electrical electrodes (12a, 12b) and an electroactive polymer (82), an actuator (3) for introducing mechanical energy into the first generator (1) and into the second generator (2), power electronics (4) for charging the electrodes (11a, 11b; 12a, 12b) with electrical voltage (Ul2, UL2), wherein the electroactive polymer (81) of the first generator (1) is configured to have a pressure force applied thereto in response to a shift of the actuator (3) and the electroactive polymers (82) of the second generator (82) are configured have a tension force applied thereto in response to the shift.
