  • Patent number: 8748821
    Abstract: The present invention is related to an energy recycling device. The energy recycling device includes a substrate, multiple miniature receivers, for receiving infrared radiation, on the substrate and multiple current rectifiers electrically connected to the miniature receivers respectively. The miniature receivers transform the infrared radiation into alternating currents (AC). The current rectifiers rectify the alternating currents (AC) so as to transform the alternating currents (AC) into direct currents (DC). Thereby, the infrared radiation received by the miniature receivers can be first transformed into the alternating currents (AC) with extremely high frequencies, and then the alternating currents (AC) with extremely high frequencies can be transformed into direct currents (DC) usable by an electronic device. Accordingly, infrared can be used to supply power.

Positioning teeth are arranged at an inner edge of the connection hole and a rotating shaft sleeve with a stop flange against the connection hole is mounted in the connection hole. Moreover, positioning teeth corresponding to the positioning teeth of the connection hole are disposed on an inner side of the stop flange. A threaded segment threaded with a terminal block for connection and positioning is set on an outer edge of the rotating shaft sleeve. Thus the housing can be rotated directly and the positioning teeth of the housing and the positioning teeth of the rotating shaft sleeve are engaged and locked with each other so as to make the housing rotate around the terminal block. Therefore, the lighting angle is adjusted optimally.
