Definitions
- the present invention relates to a stabilization system, in particular for a tracking device for solar modules, as well as a tracking device for solar modules.
- large-area structures for example plate-shaped structures with side lengths of several meters
- they can be provided with supports, supports, struts or the like, which would increase the stability of the arrangement but would also increase their weight and thus reduce the mobility.
- Such structures can not be built so rigid that it is entirely possible to dispense with the attachment of struts etc.
- a plurality of solar modules on an assembly level consisting of z. B. from cross members, longitudinal beams, etc.
- the solar modules 0 of the sun are arranged to be trackable or pivotable about the longitudinal axis or an axis of rotation. Due to the large dimensions of such systems and the wind loads occurring the material and construction costs for such systems is extremely high. Thus, it may be extremely problematic for the operational stability, if the assembly plane with the solar modules winds in wind gusts or the like. In addition, strong drive motors are necessary to pivot the solar modules.
- the stabilization system for stabilizing an arrangement for pivoting an elongated arrangement plane extending along a longitudinal axis comprises a rotation axis oriented along the longitudinal axis, in particular for a tracking device for solar modules, at least one tension element, in particular a cable arrangement, a compensation arrangement and at least two base arrangements, wherein a first base assembly comprises a diverter element spaced from the axis of rotation to a side spaced at the assembly plane, a second base assembly comprising a diverter element spaced from the axis of rotation to another side at the assembly plane, and wherein the first and the at least one second base arrangement are offset from one another along the longitudinal axis, wherein in the base arrangements the tension element is guided by the deflection element in each case to a fixed point and back at a first distance, and wherein the tension member between the base assemblies along the longitudinal axis is guided, whereby a voltage in the base assembly can be constructed so that at least two base assemblies are connected by the tension member such that upon pivoting of
- the assembly plane is thus stabilized by one or more tension elements, in particular cables, which attach at different points along the assembly plane and connect them with at least one non-pivotable fixed point.
- tension elements in particular cables
- the plane of arrangement e.g. stabilized against twisting about the longitudinal axis during pivoting or gusts of wind.
- the compensation arrangement serves to compensate for the changes in length of the tension element (s) occurring during pivoting in order to always maintain the tension on the tension element (s) at least essentially constant, independently of the pivot position.
- the tension element or the further tension elements are preferably formed by chains, ropes, in particular wire ropes, wires or other tensioning elements.
- the deflecting elements which are each assigned to a basic arrangement, are preferably spaced as far as possible from the axis of rotation, for example by about 50-80 cm, with a width of the transverse yoke of about 100-180 cm, attached to the pivotable arrangement plane, expediently on its underside ,
- the tension element can be guided by the deflecting element in each case to a fixed point, which is firmly connected to the ground.
- the fixed point may for example lie on a post which supports the arrangement plane.
- the arrangement plane preferably comprises a plurality of transverse beams or transverse yokes which are offset at intervals from one another along the longitudinal axis and arranged transversely to the latter.
- each transverse yoke is mounted on a post via a pivot point or a bearing.
- the transverse yokes are preferably still connected by longitudinal members, which along the longitudinal axis, for example on both sides of Run axis of rotation and thus span the plane of the arrangement.
- the deflection elements are respectively arranged on the transverse yokes, so that each base assembly is associated with a cross member, and optionally the associated post. It can be arranged on a transverse yoke and several base arrangements.
- the invention is not limited to this embodiment of the arrangement plane with transverse yokes.
- the first base order is arranged on a first transverse yoke, whose deflecting element is spaced from the axis of rotation to one side.
- One or more transverse yokes further offset along the longitudinal axis, the second base assembly is arranged, wherein the deflection element is fixed to the other side from the rotation axis at the arrangement level.
- the arrangement plane is thus stabilized diagonally.
- preferred stabilization systems additionally contain at least two further base arrangements, the deflection elements of which are each arranged mirror-inverted relative to the first and second base arrangements in order to stabilize the other diagonal as well.
- the first and the second base arrangement each comprise a deflection element and a fixed point.
- the first basic arrangement is associated with the equalization arrangement, while this is not the second basic arrangement.
- "assigned" means that the tension element, which is guided by the deflection element to the fixed point of the first base arrangement, is not immediately guided back to the deflection element, but is first forwarded to the compensation element, before being guided back to the deflection element via the fixed point of the first base arrangement is.
- the tension element is expediently guided to a deflection roller, which is preferably guided in the region of the axis of rotation of the first post.
- the deflection roller fulfills the purpose of guiding the tension element along the longitudinal direction to the second transverse yoke, to which also a deflection roller is fastened approximately in the middle. From there it will Pulling element guided in the direction of the deflecting element of the second base assembly. From the deflection element of the second base arrangement, it goes to the fixed point of the second base arrangement and from there back to the deflection element of the second base arrangement, to which the tension element is finally fastened.
- the first distances are measured between the deflecting elements and the fixed points. Of course, the first distances may have different lengths despite their same name.
- the first distances are about the same size when the arrangement level is approximately horizontal or perpendicular to the post.
- This position is also called center position in the following.
- the distances or radii of the deflecting elements of the various base arrangements are the same or at least approximately the same from the axis of rotation.
- the fixed points on the posts are advantageously arranged the same way that the first distances are approximately equal when the assembly plane is horizontal or vertical, ie in the center position, to the posts.
- the arrangement plane is pivoted so that the first distance of the first base arrangement is shortened, the first distance of the second base arrangement is extended.
- the tension member in the region of the first distance of the second base assembly is biased by this extension tends to train, while the tension member is relieved in the first distance of the first base assembly, so tends to lose the voltage.
- the tension in the tension element is necessary in order to stabilize the arrangement plane.
- the tension element can slide over the deflecting elements and the deflection rollers. Ie. when, so to speak, the deflecting element of the second base arrangement moves upwards and so the first distance of the second base assembly is extended, the necessary "rope length" konnn from the direction of the shortening base assembly. However, the extension and the shortening of the tension element are not exactly the same.
- the compensation arrangement is provided.
- the compensation element is non-rotatably arranged on the assembly plane at a second distance to the fixed point.

- the compensation element is advantageously rotationally fixed spaced in a radius.
- the above-mentioned length difference can be compensated, which arises in a pivoting of the assembly plane in that the extension of the first distance of the second base assembly is not the same size as the shortening of the first distance of the first base assembly (or vice versa).
- the distance of the compensating element from the axis of rotation or the radius is designed such that the extension of the second distance fails so that the length difference and thus the loss of tension in the tension element when pivoting the assembly plane is completely compensated.
- a first base arrangement is arranged on the other side of the first transverse yoke. This can advantageously use the already arranged on the post fixed point and arranged on the first transverse yoke compensation arrangement.
- a second base arrangement can be arranged, which can use the already existing fixed point on the second post.
- the two last-mentioned basic arrangements are connected via a (new) tension element.
- the assembly plane is advantageously stabilized at least at four points, two on each side of the axis of rotation.
- a multiplicity of second base arrangements are arranged on both sides of the longitudinal axis and along this, in order to stabilize the arrangement plane at as many points as possible.
- the tension element can be guided in both directions of the longitudinal axis to possible further second base arrangements.

It is also possible to use a plurality of first basic arrangements for an arrangement level.
- the arrangement plane has a substantially flat or plate-shaped structure.
- the term "arrangement level" is not going to interpret that it is a completely flat or even surface. Also conceivable are wavy or angular structures or the like. The decisive factor is that the assembly plane requires a large surface in relation to its height.
- the deflecting element, the compensating element and / or the fixed point each comprise one or more deflection rollers with at least one guide groove.
- Each deflection roller preferably has only one guide groove.
- two different base arrangements can contain the same fixed point or the compensation element can be connected to a plurality of tension elements.

- a ratio of the distance of the deflecting element from the axis of rotation to the distance of the fixed point from the axis of rotation is about 0.6 to 1.4, more preferably about 0.7 to 1.3, most preferably about 0.8 until 12.
- the differences in length are compensated by a plurality of base arrangements via a compensation arrangement.
- a multiplicity of differences in length can be compensated by the compensation arrangement in that the multiplicity of differences in length can be transmitted to the tension element via the distributor element, which is connected to the compensation arrangement, in other words, the tension element of the first base assembly.
- an entire assembly plane can be stabilized with only one compensation arrangement.
- the transverse yokes are connected along the longitudinal axis via at least two longitudinal members. On the longitudinal members, in turn, module carrier rails are arranged in a preferred embodiment, which in turn serve the attachment of solar modules. In sum, the arrangement consisting of the solar modules, the module carrier rails, the longitudinal members and the transverse yokes can thus be regarded as the arrangement plane, which can be pivoted about the axis of rotation.
- the solar modules can be arranged differently oriented. That is, it is irrelevant whether the generally rectangular solar modules are aligned with their longer side along the longitudinal axis or transversely thereto. Also, several solar modules, preferably for example two solar modules, can be arranged transversely to the longitudinal axis. For this purpose, the already mentioned module carrier rails are preferably used. Further preferably, the solar modules along the longitudinal axis are also arranged differently orientable or there are also different sized solar modules can be arranged.

- the preferred material here is steel, in particular galvanized steel.
- the posts have a head part, via which the transverse yoke can be fastened to the post.
- the head part is adjustably arranged along a vertical axis of the post, for example via corresponding oblong holes in the head part.
- the connection to the posts preferably takes place via one or more screw connections.
- the head part further preferably has the pivot point on which the transverse yoke can be arranged.
- an adapter plate is arranged between the head part and the transverse yoke.
- Form is the arrangement of the cross member to the post thus over the head part and the adapter plate, both of which are each preferably carried out in one piece.
- the fulcrum is a bearing which allows rotational movement not only about the axis of rotation, but which also allows at least a limited mobility around the vertical axis (of the post).
- the head part and the adapter plate are also preferably made of steel, in particular made of galvanized steel.
- a row of posts is arranged along the longitudinal axis, with a main post being provided, which comprises a drive element which is designed to pivot the transverse yoke of the main post and, as a result, the assembly plane about the longitudinal axis.
- the main post is designed in the same way as the other posts.
- the main post instead of a head part, has at its upper end a support structure, which is also adjustable along a vertical axis of the main post, for example, via elongated holes, arranged on this.
- the arrangement of the support structure as well as that of the head part preferably takes place at the web of the main pawl or of the post.

- the support structure is preferably made of steel, in particular made of galvanized steel.
- the fixed points are fixed to the main post or the post, to which a base assembly is fixed.
- the arrangement of the fixed point on the post or on the main post is preferably carried out at their webs, if they are designed as a double-T-carrier.
- each post or each transverse yoke is connected to a tension element or other tension elements.
- the tension element or the other tension elements can advantageously be continued easily.

- the number of further tension elements connected to the distributor elements corresponds to the number of second base arrangements which respectively lead to one and the other side of the longitudinal axis, the further tension elements connected to the distributor element being guided to the second base arrangements in such a way that their first distances are shortened are when the first distance of the respective tension element is extended at the main post and vice versa.
- deflection rollers are provided for guiding the other tension elements to the base assemblies, which are designed both for a deflection of the tension elements transversely and in the direction of the longitudinal axis.
- the structure of the stabilization system with pulleys and tension elements or other tension elements brings with it the advantage that the whole plant or the whole arrangement level aligns itself so to speak, since the forces occurring (weight forces as well as driving forces by the drive element) ideal along the longitudinal axis and transversely to be transmitted and distributed immediately.
- the distributor element has an anti-twist device.
- This has the advantage that the other tension elements do not twist or twist.
- Wire cables with a diameter of about 2 to 8 mm are preferably used as tension elements or as further tension elements, particularly preferably with a diameter of about 4 to 5 mm.
- Such wire ropes are made of strands produces, which approximately helically twisted form the actual wire rope. When stressed, this helical arrangement causes the wire rope to twist.

- the transmission element is preferably made as a flat plate made of sheet steel, particularly preferably made of galvanized sheet steel.
- at least one deflection roller can be arranged on the transmission element.
- two deflection rollers are arranged for forwarding the tension elements in the direction of the longitudinal axis.
- the transverse yoke is preferably non-rotatably connected, for example via a welded connection.
- the compensation element which is also preferably arranged on the transmission element.
- the shape of the transmission element and the arrangement of the compensating element thus expediently form the compensating arrangement, since the compensating element, via the arrangement on the transmission element and its position relative to the axis of rotation, also realizes the spacing of the compensating element from the axis of rotation and its rotationally fixed arrangement, which is necessary for the functioning of the compensating arrangement are.
- the arrangement of the cross member to the main post thus takes place via the transmission element, which is connected to the drive element, wherein the drive element is arranged on the support structure on the main post.
- the worm gear preferably has a self-locking and allows a very accurate adjustment of the entire assembly level.
- the use or the use of the stabilization system allows the use of small electric motors, compared with known from the prior art tracking devices for solar modules, since the tension elements or the other tension elements introduced via the drive element in the assembly plane forces along the longitudinal axis ( in both directions) and across it ideally forward.
- the tension element, the further tension elements and / or the auxiliary rope comprise at least one tensioning element.
- the stabilization system is preferably Tem by the clamping elements also readjustable or adaptable to different weather conditions.

- FIG. 1 shows a preferred embodiment of a stabilization system in a viewing direction transverse to a longitudinal axis L. Shown is a post 90 anchored in the ground, at the upper end of which a transverse yoke 84 is connected via a pivot point 82 is pivotally mounted.
- a first base assembly 60 is arranged at the cross yoke. This comprises a deflection element 62 which is arranged on the left outer edge of the arrangement plane E and thus on the left outer end of the transverse yoke 84.
- the deflection element 62 here comprises two deflection rollers, each of which has a guide groove.
- a first deflection roller forms the end point of a tension element 20 (in this case a rope), which forms a loop around the first deflection roller of the deflection element 82.
- a tension element 20 in this case a rope
- the rope 20 is guided to a fixed point 64, which is also formed by a plurality of pulleys, which are set relatively close to the ground on the post 90.
- the cable 20 is further to a compensation assembly 40, in particular to a compensation element 41, out.
- This in turn is designed as a deflection roller and is fixed to a below the pivot point 82 downwardly projecting boom on the transverse yoke 84 and thus on the assembly plane E.
- the tension element 20 is guided back via a second roller of the fixed point 64 and from there back to the second roller of the deflection element 62, from where it is directed parallel to the transverse yoke 84 to a guide roller 28.
- the cable 20 is further guided to a second base arrangement, not visible in FIG.
- the second base arrangement has no compensating arrangement 40, but otherwise is constructed at least essentially mirror-inverted relative to the first basic arrangement, in particular the deflecting element 62 is fixed on the right-hand side of the transverse yoke 84.
- FIG. 2 a shows a plan view of a preferred embodiment of an arrangement plane E with the focus on the course of a tension element 20 which is connected to further tension elements 20 '. Shown are seven juxtaposed transverse yokes 84, each rotatable on posts 90 (not visible) are stored, the z. B. are grounded in the ground.
- the tension element 20 is guided via a deflection roller 28 in the direction of a longitudinal axis L or a rotation axis D to the right.
- a distributor element 22 is arranged at the end of the tension element 20 .
- Fig. 2a shows two transverse yokes 84, which are not connected to the tension element 20 or the other tension elements 20 '.
- Fig. 2b shows the already known from Fig. 2a arrangement, mirrored about the longitudinal axis.
- the figures 2a and 2b are actually superimposed and are darg Congress only for clarity.
- the middle transverse yoke 84 thus has a second traction element 20, which, viewed in relation to the axis of rotation D, is arranged mirror-invertedly on the central transverse yoke 84.
- the course of the further tension elements 20 'corresponds mutatis mutandis to that of Fig. 2a.
- FIG. 3a shows a sketch of a stabilization system with a transverse yoke 84 or at an arrangement plane E, which is connected to a post 90 via a pivot point 82.
- the arrangement plane E (or the transverse yoke 84) has a deflection element 62 in a radius R on both sides of the pivot point 82 or a rotation axis D. These typically belong to different (a first and a second) base arrangement and are thus usually arranged at different transverse yokes, but connected via one and optionally further tension elements.
- a Fixed point 64 arranged at the post 90 .
- the arrangement plane E comprises a compensation arrangement 40 with a compensation element 41.
- the compensation element is non-rotatably arranged on the assembly plane E at a distance a starting from the pivot point 82.
- the arrangement plane E is shown in two positions. First in a horizontal position (see center position) and further in a counterclockwise rotated position. In the middle position, a first distance 61 can be measured between each of the deflecting elements 62 and the fixed point 64. Between the compensating element 41 and the fixed point 64, a second distance 42 is measured. In the rotated position, a shortened first distance 61V is now measured between the deflecting element 62 and the fixed point 64 on the left-hand side of the axis of rotation D. On the right side of the axis of rotation D, an extended first distance 61 L is measurable.
- the tension element is additionally guided over the compensating element 41, where the second distance 42L has extended during the pivoting.
- the distance a should be designed in relation to the radius R in such a way that the tension necessary for the stabilization in the tension elements is maintained in each rotational position of the arrangement plane E.
- FIG. 3b illustrates this relationship sketchily by the length of the first distance 61 in the center position and the shortened first distance 61V and the extended first distance 61 L are shown one above the other. It is clear that, starting from the first distance 61, the change in length which leads to the shortened first distance 61V does not correspond exactly to the change in length which leads to the extended first distance 61L. There remains a length difference AL, which causes the tension of the tension member 20 decreases. However, FIG. 3a also shows that the second distance 42 is extended during the rotation of the arrangement plane E to the extent of an extended second distance 42L. As shown schematically in FIG.
- the length difference .DELTA. ⁇ _ can thereby be compensated, since expediently the extension of the second distance 42 corresponds to the length difference AL or corresponds as exactly as possible.
