Abstract
A piezoelectric power generating device that includes a piezoelectric element having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, a stopper, and a lever. The stopper has a first contact surface that is in contact with the first surface. The lever includes a contact portion, which includes a second contact surface that is in contact with the second surface, and a displacement portion. The lever is arranged in such a manner as to be rotatable relative to the stopper around a rotation axis such that the second contact surface presses the second surface when the displacement portion rotates relative to the stopper around the rotation axis.
