Abstract
A power generation module includes an input part, an elastic member, generator, a rotatable member, a transmission part, and a lock part. The elastic member stores energy input to the input part. The generator generates power when a rotor of the generator is rotated. The rotatable member rotates the rotor. The transmission part transmits the energy stored in the elastic member to the rotatable member. The lock part restricts a rotation of the rotor by the transmission part. The energy is stored in the elastic member by the lock part restricting the rotation of the rotor while the input part moves from an initial position to a prescribed position. The restriction of the rotor by the lock part is released and the rotor is rotated by the energy stored in the elastic member when the input part moves to the prescribed position.
