Patent number: 9698662Abstract: A power-generating module has a base, a power-generating unit that is placed in the base, a plunger that is placed in the base and that vertically reciprocates, and a drive section that interlocks with the reciprocation of the plunger and starts up the power-generating unit. The drive section is biased to a boost-up position where the plunger is boosted up. The drive section has at least two links that turn between the boost-up position and a press-in position where the power-generating unit is started up. Both ends of one of the links are turnably supported by the base. Both ends of another link are turnably supported by the plunger.
