Get StartedThe free release of stored energy in a spiral spring is spontaneous, during which the stored energy can be released completely in a very short time and the output speed and torque change rapidly.
The principal functions of elastic storage device using spiral spring are energy storage and transfer in space and time. Elastic energy storage using spiral spring can realize the balance between energy supply and demand in many applications.
Spiral spring energy storage harvests and stores random mechanical energy. Harvesting and storing energy is a key problem in some applications. Elastic energy storage technology has the advantages of wide-sources, simple structural principle, renewability, high effectiveness and environmental-friendliness.
Spiral spring is the most common elastic energy storage device in practical applications. Humanity has developed various types of elastic energy storage devices, such as helical springs, disc springs, leaf springs, and spiral springs, of which the spiral spring is the most frequently-used device. Spiral springs are wound from steel strips [19, 20].
Even for electrical grids, there may be accidental power loss due to earthquakes or floods, in which case emergency energy equipment provides urgent power for disaster relief and medical first aid. In fact, some traditional energy storage devices are not suitable for energy storage in some special occasions.
With the elastic energy storage–electric power generation system, grid electrical energy can drive electric motors to wind up a spiral spring group to store energy when power grid is adequate, and the stored energy can drive electric generators to generate electrical energy when power grid is insufficient. The working principle is shown in Fig. 2.
