A plurality of unit of design can easily be replaced separately when needed according to the present invention, thereby help the maintenance of system.
It is the power wiring that produces for the photoconductive structure 11B by a part as receiver architecture 10B shown in Figure 1 that solar energy utilizes a problem of unit.In order to address this problem, this system has been carried out extra improvement.
Receiver architecture 10B comprises secondary reflector 9 and prism 30B.This receiver architecture is received in the rigid cover 15.
As shown in Figure 4, the dorsal part of secondary reflector 9 is provided with groove 100.This groove 100 is oriented to make one of them feather edge of its adjacent prisms 30B and parallel with this feather edge.The size of this groove is set at receive leg 102 (as shown in Figure 6).
Shown in Fig. 5 A, in rigid cover 15, near the hole of establishing, be provided with two openings 104 for prism 30B passes.Described opening is positioned at the central corresponding position with groove 100, and size all is set at lead-in wire 102 can be passed.Perhaps shown in Fig. 5 B, hole 105 can be circle, and reserves near prism 30B for lead-in wire 102 enough spaces of passing, and does not need opening 104.
As shown in Figure 6, be equipped with two lead-in wires 102 in groove 100, an end of each lead-in wire all exposes.Each lead-in wire 102 near the middle part of groove 100 in the position bending corresponding with one of them opening 104.Reflector 9 that combines and prism 30B pass at this prism under the situation in the hole 105 of establishing for it and are mounted to rigid cover 15.Lead-in wire 102 passes opening 104, shown in Fig. 7 A and 7B.
As shown in Figure 8, infrared (IR) circuit 106 that is the photocell form comprises some GaSb batteries 108 that are installed on the aluminium substrate and are connected in series.Two copper strips 110 vertically stretch out and as just going between and bearing lead-in wire from this infrared circuit.As shown in Figure 9, IR circuit 106 is mounted to the bottom of flange-cooled aluminium lid 112, and this aluminium lid is as radiator.114 one-tenth inclined-planes of the lateral edges of this radiator.
Shown in Figure 10 A and 10B, the IR circuit is bonded to the top side 116 of prism 30B.Use suitable bond, for example silicone adhesive.This IR circuit arrangement becomes to make described copper strips to extend on the side of the adjacent grooves 100 of prism 30B downwards, thereby makes the end of described copper strips contact lead-wire 102.
Shown in Figure 11 A to Figure 11 C,, the additional cylindrical radiator that is tank body 118 forms is set in order to improve thermal diffusivity.Tank body 118 becomes the inclined-plane accordingly with the lateral edges 114 of aluminium lid 112 at one end.Edge in the slope one of them or the two on place heat-conduction epoxy resin, and tank body 118 is placed on the aluminium lid 112.Gummed pearl (glue bead) 120 can be applied, shown in Figure 11 B between the top of the bottom of tank body 118 and rigid cover 15.

Figure 13 shows one embodiment of the present of invention, wherein a plurality of primary reflectors 7 is molded as single reflector assembly 130.Reflector assembly 130 comprises with the primary reflector 7 such as the chessboard trellis patterned arrangement of grid.Reflector assembly 130 comprises a receiver parts 10A, and these receiver parts are associated with each primary reflector as mentioned above.Reflector assembly 130 is assemblied in the packaging part 132, and uses the volume of single lid 15 encapsulation reflector assembly tops.Lid 15 comprises secondary reflector (not shown) and the receiver parts 10B that quantity equates with the quantity of primary reflector 7, and the focus that they are arranged such that each primary reflector 7 overlaps with the focal point F 2 of corresponding secondary reflector.
Interface and the interface between lid 15 and the packaging part between reflector assembly 130 and the packaging part 132 are sealed, thereby allow to fill the volume that is limited between reflector assembly and the lid with inert gas as mentioned above when expectation.
By a plurality of primary reflectors are molded as single-piece, reduced the cost of making and assembling.These costs have also been reduced by the lid that is formed for all primary reflectors by single-piece.
Should be understood that the chessboard trellis pattern that can adopt other structure, for example honeycomb pattern or the like.
According to a modification, unit 5 is designed so that primary reflector can tolerate the issuable heat owing to the more lip-deep gathered light that reflex to primary reflector from secondary reflector.This can comprise that the plastic base 134 of central (not shown) with holes realizes by making each primary reflector 7, as among Figure 14 A to 14C with respect to shown in the described embodiment of reference Figure 13.It is big that described boring ratio receives the necessary hole of receiver parts 10A.Be close to described hole and be positioned with the frame portion (shelf) 135 concentric (only in Figure 14 C as seen) with this hole.Described plastics are chosen to make and can pass through any traditional approach (for example, the vapour deposition in the vacuum chamber) at plastic plating silver or other any reflecting material.
Curved metal disc 136 is set to finish the surface of primary reflector 7.The size of dish 136 is set at its periphery 138 and the periphery 140 of frame portion 135 is complementary (the best as seen in Figure 14 C).Pedestal 134 and dish 136 form and make their respective upper surfaces 142a, 142b cooperate the continuous surface that constitutes primary reflector to form as mentioned above jointly.
By making primary reflector 7 in such a way, the major part of reflector can be utilized plastics, and this can pass through the operation manufacturing reflector of cheap and simple more.But also make the integral body of unit lighter.Owing to some that are reflected by secondary reflector 9 are assembled solar energy meeting because of certain non-imaging collector former thereby the receiver parts 10A that accurately do not lead, thereby near the zone the receiver parts 10A may become awfully hot.Therefore, metal dish 136 is set with the heat that in this possibility incident, produces of tolerance, thus operate as normal that can interrupt location 5.
Though the example of the above embodiment that uses with the described embodiment of reference Figure 13 is provided, should notes therefore not limiting, but can be applicable to according to the present invention any solar units of design.
