More Information
Summary:Provided is a power generating apparatus using piezoelectric elements, which can increase an amount of electricity generated in the piezoelectric elements and can extend the life of the piezoelectric elements. The power generating apparatus includes: a plurality of piezoelectric elements; a main body in which the piezoelectric elements are received and fixed, with spaced apart from one another, so as to protect the piezoelectric elements; a piezoelectric element support reciprocatingly installed in the main body to support the piezoelectric elements such that the piezoelectric elements are deformed by a reciprocating motion of the piezoelectric element support; a driving unit provided in the main body to operate the piezoelectric element support; and a power transmission unit connecting the driving unit to the piezoelectric element support, such that the piezoelectric element support is reciprocated by a driving force of the driving unit.
