Antecedentes de la invenciónBackground of the invention

En general, los panales solares son elementos que se montan aislados, sin ningún tipo de conexión entre sí que permita mover todos los situados en una misma superficie al unísono empleando un único seguidor solar.In general, solar panels are elements that they are mounted isolated, without any connection to each other that allow moving all located on the same surface in unison using a single solar tracker.

No obstante, en el documento ES-2164026 se describe una batería de colectores solares parabólicos, formada por una estructura de celosía que determina una viga horizontal provista con apoyos de rodadura sobre carriles circunferenciales sobre los que gira a fin de orientarse a la dirección en la que se halla el sol; desde esta viga horizontal se elevan las columnas que soportan cada uno de los colectores, incorporando en disposición basculable los respectivos colectores solares parabólicos, que son así conjuntamente orientables en seguimiento del sol, mediante combinación del movimiento basculante de los mismos y el giro de la estructura sobre los carriles de apoyo.However, in the document ES-2164026 describes a battery of collectors parabolic solar, formed by a lattice structure that determines a horizontal beam provided with rolling bearings on circumferential rails on which it rotates in order to orient itself to the direction in which the sun is; from this horizontal beam the columns that support each of the collectors are raised, incorporating the respective collectors in a tiltable arrangement parabolic solar, which are thus jointly orientable in sun tracking, by combining the tilting movement of them and the rotation of the structure on the rails of support for.

Descripción de la invenciónDescription of the invention

A diferencia con el sistema antes citado, el dispositivo de la presente invención prevé paneles situados sobre postes convencionales, provistos de medios individuales de orientación lateral y basculación, lo que se unifica en este caso no es la estructura de los mismos sino el mecanismo de accionamiento, lo que permite una disposición arbitraria en su ubicación con la única particularidad de que todos ellos han de estar en una superficie próxima a la horizontal.Unlike the aforementioned system, the device of the present invention provides panels located on conventional poles, provided with individual means of lateral orientation and tilting, which is unified in this case it is not their structure but the mechanism of drive, allowing an arbitrary arrangement in your location with the unique feature that all of them have to be on a surface near the horizontal.

Este dispositivo prevé que todos los postes de los paneles están unidos por una transmisión mecánica con un mecanismo de accionamiento, que comandado por un único micro-controlador electrónico situado en uno de los paneles, determina la posición que debe tener éste en todo momento para situarse perpendicular al sol, cambiando dicha transmisión la posición del conjunto de paneles al unísono, tanto en lo que a su orientación lateral como de inclinación se refieren.This device provides that all posts of the panels are joined by a mechanical transmission with a drive mechanism, which commanded by a single electronic micro-controller located in one of the panels, determines the position it should have at all times to stand perpendicular to the sun, changing said transmission the position of the panel assembly in unison, both as far as its lateral orientation as of inclination refer.

La transmisión mecánica está constituida por cables o cadenas que acoplan en poleas o piñones situados en la base de todos los mástiles de los paneles solares.The mechanical transmission consists of cables or chains that fit on pulleys or pinions located in the base of all masts of solar panels.

Cada poste presenta por el interior un eje que en una zona intermedia comprende un acoplamiento mediante un tornillo sinfín o un medio similar, que transmite el movimiento de giro en la polea en un desplazamiento vertical del mismo, que a través de una biela superior modifica el grado de inclinación del panel, cuando a través del cable o cadena se procura la orientación de todos los paneles.Each post has a shaft inside that an intermediate zone comprises a coupling by means of a screw auger or similar means, which transmits the turning movement in the pulley in a vertical displacement thereof, which through a top connecting rod modifies the degree of inclination of the panel, when the orientation of All panels

Para conseguir el un movimiento de giro de cada uno de los paneles se ha previsto que cada poste presente un eje de giro vertical y una polea o piñón periférico en el que acopla el cable o cadena que con su desplazamiento le obliga a girar para orientarse lateralmente, a todos ellos en conjunto.To get the one turning movement of each one of the panels is provided that each post has an axis of vertical rotation and a pulley or peripheral pinion in which it engages the cable or chain that with its displacement forces it to rotate to Orient laterally, all of them together.

La figura 2 muestra una vista en alzado del poste (2) que soporta cada uno de los paneles (1) y que integra los mecanismos de accionamiento lateral y de basculación del panel.Figure 2 shows an elevation view of the post (2) that supports each of the panels (1) and that integrates the lateral drive and panel tilt mechanisms.

Realización preferente de la invenciónPreferred Embodiment of the Invention

Como se puede observar en las figuras referenciadas se trata de mover al unísono una serie de paneles solares (1), cada uno de los cuales está soportado por un poste (2) en el que puede girar para orientarse hacia el sol y bascular para situarse perpendicular al astro. La disposición de esta "plantación" de paneles solares es arbitraria, el único requerimiento es que la superficie sobre la que se fijan los postes (2) sea más o menos horizontal. Tal y como se aprecia en la figura 1 todos los postes de los paneles están unidos por una transmisión mecánica (5-6) con un mecanismo de accionamiento (4), que comandado por un único micro-controlador electrónico (3) situado en uno de los paneles, determina la posición que debe tener únicamente este panel para situarse perpendicular al sol; esta transmisión se encarga de variar la posición del conjunto de paneles (1) al unísono, tanto en lo que a su orientación lateral como de inclinación se refieren. Esta transmisión está constituida por cables o cadenas (5-6) que acoplan en poleas o piñones (7-8) situados en la base de todos los mástiles (2) de los paneles solares (1).As can be seen in the figures referenced is to move a series of panels in unison solar (1), each of which is supported by a pole (2) where you can turn to face the sun and swing to stand perpendicular to the star. The disposition of this "planting" of solar panels is arbitrary, the only requirement is that the surface on which the posts are fixed (2) be more or less horizontal. As seen in the figure 1 all panel posts are joined by a transmission mechanical (5-6) with a drive mechanism (4), which commanded by a single micro-controller electronic (3) located in one of the panels, determines the position that only this panel must have to position itself perpendicular to the sun; this transmission is responsible for varying the position of the panel assembly (1) in unison, both as far as Its lateral orientation as of inclination are referred to. This transmission consists of cables or chains (5-6) that fit on pulleys or pinions (7-8) located at the base of all masts (2) of solar panels (1).

En la figura 2 se aprecia el mecanismo de accionamiento situada en cada poste (2) para su movimiento en rotación a fin de orientarse hacia la posición lateral más adecuada y también de basculamiento en un eje horizontal para situarse perpendicular al sol. A estos efectos, cada poste (2) presenta por el interior un eje (9) que en una zona intermedia comprende un acoplamiento mediante un tornillo sinfín o un medio similar, que transmite el movimiento de giro en la polea (5) en un desplazamiento vertical del mismo, que a través de una biela superior (10) modifica el grado de inclinación del panel (1), cuando a través del cable o cadena (5) se procura la orientación de todos los paneles (1). Así mismo, cada poste (2) presenta un eje de giro vertical y una polea o piñón periférico (7) en el que acopla el cable o cadena (6) que con su desplazamiento le obliga a girar para orientarse lateralmente.Figure 2 shows the mechanism of drive located on each post (2) for movement in rotation in order to face the most appropriate lateral position and also of tilting in a horizontal axis to be located perpendicular to the sun. For these purposes, each post (2) presents by inside an axis (9) which in an intermediate zone comprises a coupling by means of an auger or similar means, which transmits the turning movement in the pulley (5) in a vertical displacement of the same, that through a connecting rod upper (10) modifies the degree of inclination of the panel (1), when through the cable or chain (5) the orientation of all is sought the panels (1). Likewise, each post (2) has an axis of rotation vertical and a peripheral pulley or pinion (7) in which the cable or chain (6) that with its displacement forces it to turn to Orient laterally.

El seguidor solar (3) es un elemento convencional o preferentemente un modelo protegido por la compañía solicitante del actual. El mecanismo de accionamiento (4) básicamente está compuesto por dos servomotores que giran en ambos sentidos moviendo sendas poleas o piñones, en los que acoplan los cables o cadenas (5-6) que actúan independientemente sobre el mecanismo de orientación lateral o de basculamiento integrada en cada uno de los postes (2) soporte de los paneles (1).The solar tracker (3) is a conventional element or preferably a model protected by the requesting company of the current one. The drive mechanism (4) is basically composed of two servomotors that turn both ways moving individual pulleys or pinions, in which they connect the cables or chains (5-6) acting independently on the lateral orientation or tilting mechanism integrated in each of the posts (2) support of the panels (1).
