Abstract
This study aims to develop an innovative energy conversion device based on spherical gear design, which efficiently transforms vibrational energy from industrial environments into electrical energy. The goal is to meet industrial energy recovery demands and promote sustainable energy development. The research team designed a spherical gear mechanism, taking into account mechanical efficiency, material selection, durability, and environmental impact. A precise control system was implemented to regulate the capture and conversion of vibrational energy. To validate the feasibility of the design, a series of simulation experiments were conducted. The results demonstrate that the device operates stably under predefined simulated conditions and achieves medium-temperature output power, highlighting its potential in the field of energy conversion. This device provides an efficient solution for recovering industrial vibrational energy and holds promise for widespread applications in industrial machinery, building structures, and other fields, contributing to the advancement of green energy technologies.
