Photovoltaic tracking support
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of photovoltaic tracking supports, and particularly relates to a photovoltaic tracking support.
Background
The driving device on the photovoltaic tracking support drives the main beam to rotate, and further drives the photovoltaic panel on the main beam to rotate along with the solar running track (east rising west falling), so that sunlight always directly irradiates the photovoltaic panel, and the solar energy absorption and utilization efficiency is improved.
However, when wind acts on the photovoltaic panel, the main beam is subjected to axial torque due to the action of the wind, and the existence of the torque can cause damage to the main beam, and in order to avoid the damage, the following method is generally adopted:
1. single-point driving mode: the whole photovoltaic tracking support is fixed by the driving device, the axial torque borne by the main beam can be gradually accumulated to the driving device along the main beam, so that the driving device bears great torque, and meanwhile, the torque to be resisted by the main beam is gradually accumulated, so that the main beam and the driving device bear great torque at the same time. According to the photovoltaic tracking support driven by the single point, all torque can only be resisted through the driving device and the driving upright column, and the single point is unstable and easy to destabilize when being fixed in strong wind, so that the main beam and the driving device need stronger anti-torque performance, the anti-torque performance of the main beam and the torque resisting capability of the driving device need to be enhanced, the mode is direct, the cost is high, the safety performance is low, and the support is easy to resonate and destabilize in the strong wind.
2. Multi-point driving mode: in the mode, a plurality of driving devices are arranged on a main beam at normal wind speed, so that multi-point driving is realized, and driving force is provided at multiple points; if each driving point is provided with an independent driving device, the synchronism of the control system has high requirement on the stability of the support, and once a certain driving device is asynchronous, a main beam of the support is damaged by torque; if a mechanical structure transmission shaft is used for transmission, each synchronous driving point is additionally provided with a long transmission shaft, so that the cost is high and the installation is inconvenient.
