摘要
This paper presents the design, modeling, bench experiments, and road tests for a retrofit regenerative shock absorber based on a permanent magnetic generator and a rack-pinion mechanism for the purposes of energy harvesting and vibration damping. Results show that variable damping coefficients and the asymmetric feature in jounce and rebound motions are achieved by controlling the electrical load of the shock absorber. Improved efficiency and reliability are achieved by utilizing a roller to guide the rack and preload on the gear transmission to reduce backlash and friction. A peak power of 68 W and average power of 19 W are attained from one prototype shock absorber when the vehicle is driven at 48 km/h (30 mi/h) on a fairly smooth campus road.
