In this embodiment, since the spatial positions of the signal transmitting device, the signal receiving device and the heliostat to be calibrated can be determined, a plane can be determined according to the spatial positions of the three, and the angle of at least one of the optical signal, the image signal and the radio signal transmitted by the signal transmitting device to the heliostat to be calibrated can be determined, and the angle of at least one of the optical signal, the image signal and the radio signal received by the signal receiving device and returned by the heliostat to be calibrated can be determined.
Wherein, signal transmission device includes: the signal transmitting unit is used for transmitting at least one of an optical signal, an image signal and a radio signal to the heliostat to be calibrated; the transmission driving unit comprises a signal transmitting unit and is used for transmitting at least one of an optical signal, an image signal and a radio signal to the heliostat to be calibrated; the transmitting driving unit comprises at least two transmitting driving shafts and is used for driving the at least two transmitting driving shafts under the control of the control device so as to control the transmitting direction and the angle rotation of the signal transmitting device; the transmitting encoder is used for recording at least one transmitting direction and angle of an optical signal, an image signal and a radio signal and uploading the transmitting direction and angle to the data processing device; each emission driving shaft is provided with an emission encoder; signal receiving apparatus comprising: the signal receiving unit is used for receiving at least one of optical signals, image signals and radio signals returned by the heliostat to be calibrated; a receiving driving unit including at least two receiving driving shafts for driving the at least two receiving driving shafts under the control of the control device, for driving the receiving direction and angle rotation of the signal receiving device; the receiving encoder is used for recording at least one receiving direction and angle of an optical signal, an image signal and a radio signal and uploading the receiving direction and angle to the data processing device; each receiving drive shaft is provided with a receiving encoder.
The transmitting encoder can record at least one angle of an optical signal, an image signal and a radio signal sent by the signal transmitting unit, and specifically can record the angles of at least two transmitting driving shafts respectively, wherein the at least two transmitting driving shafts can comprise a transmitting transverse shaft and a transmitting longitudinal shaft, and the two driving shafts can be arranged in other directions. The receiving encoder may record an angle of at least one of the optical signal, the image signal, and the radio signal received by the signal receiving unit, and specifically may record angles of at least two receiving driving axes, respectively, where the at least two receiving driving axes may include a receiving horizontal axis and a receiving vertical axis, and the two driving axes may be arranged in other directions. In this embodiment, the transmission driving unit of the signal transmitting apparatus and the reception driving unit of the signal receiving apparatus may respectively include a horizontal axis and a vertical axis, and since the transmission apparatus and the reception apparatus have small volumes and light weights and may be fixed in relatively stable positions, such as on a heat collecting tower or other devices, the error caused by the signal transmitting apparatus and the signal receiving apparatus may not be considered in the calculation process in the technical solution.
Thus, the signal transmitting device and the signal receiving device can perform the recording work of the angle of the transmitted signal and the angle of the received signal when at least one of the optical signal, the image signal, and the radio signal is transmitted and received for one or more heliostats to be calibrated.
The data processing device can construct a simultaneous equation according to the at least one signal transmitting device, the at least one signal receiving device and the spatial position of the heliostat to be calibrated, and according to at least one transmitting direction, receiving direction and angle of an optical signal, an image signal and a radio signal to determine a deviation parameter of the heliostat to be calibrated, and calibrate the heliostat to be calibrated according to the deviation parameter.
For a heliostat, its deviation parameter may be multidimensional, and may be determined by factors introducing deviation, such as horizontal axis deviation, vertical axis deviation, center position deviation, and the like of the heliostat, specifically, how many simultaneous equations need to be formed may be determined according to the dimension of the deviation parameter of the heliostat, for example, for a certain heliostat, the dimension of the deviation parameter is 4, and then 4 simultaneous equations may be formed, such as transmitting device a and receiving device a, transmitting device a and receiving device B, transmitting device B and receiving device a, transmitting device B and receiving device B, where the positions of transmitting device a and B are different, and the positions of receiving device a and B are also different.

For example, a plurality of signal emitting devices facing different directions and angles can be arranged around the heat collection tower at a position where the heat collector on the heat collection tower is relatively far away from the heat collection tower, and the signal emitting devices can also be arranged at different heights on the heat collection tower. In this embodiment, the alignment rod may be a thin and tall rod disposed inside or near the heliostat field, which has the advantage of reducing the shielding of the alignment rod from sunlight impinging on the heliostat field during daytime heat collection, i.e., hot hours, and the advantage of a higher alignment rod is that it can improve the alignment accuracy and extend the alignment range. According to the heliostat, the calibration rod is arranged, so that the separation of the space positions of the signal transmitting device and the signal receiving device can be realized, the incident angle and the emergent angle of the heliostat are increased, and the calibration precision of the heliostat is improved. It should be noted that if the reverse is true, it is also possible to arrange the signal emitting device on the calibration rod and the signal receiving device on the heat collecting tower.
In this embodiment, optionally, the data processing device is further configured to determine a deviation parameter dimension of the heliostat to be calibrated, and determine, according to the deviation parameter dimension, the number of simultaneous equations that need to be constructed. The deviation parameter dimension of the heliostat may be determined according to actual calculation, and may be manually input by a worker, for example. At least one of the transmission and reception times of the optical signal, the image signal and the radio signal during the calibration process of each heliostat can be determined according to the dimension of the deviation parameter, so that the calibration efficiency of the heliostat can be improved.

By means of the arrangement, not only can the static angle of the heliostat be standardized, but also whether the rotation process of the heliostat can meet the requirement can be calibrated, for example, after at least one of the first optical signal, the image signal and the radio signal is calibrated, if the angle of at least one of the second optical signal, the image signal and the radio signal, which is shot and received, still has an error, the mechanical error exists in the rotation process of the heliostat. Therefore, the effect of dynamic calibration can be realized, and the calibration precision of the heliostat is improved.
It should be noted that, in the above technical solution, one signal transmitting device may be used for two or more signal receiving devices, and two or more signal transmitting devices may also be used for two or more signal receiving devices, so that the advantage of the above arrangement is that the heliostat can be dynamically calibrated by using the existing equipment.
