Objeto de la invenciónObject of the invention

La presente invención se refiere a un seguidor solar, del tipo de los constituidos a partir de una plataforma sobre la que se establecen una pluralidad de paneles fotovoltaicos, bancada dotada de medios para movilización de la misma sobre un imaginario plano horizontal.The present invention relates to a follower solar, of the type of those constituted from a platform on which establishes a plurality of photovoltaic panels, bench equipped with means to mobilize it on a imaginary horizontal plane.

El objeto de la invención es proporcionar una estructura de seguimiento solar que permita incluir un elevado número de paneles fotovoltaicos, dotados de medios de orientación, tanto en sentido horizontal como vertical, que optimicen la producción de energía, todo ello con una configuración tal que el dispositivo necesite un mantenimiento mínimo, y que dicho mantenimiento sea fácil de llevar a cabo.The object of the invention is to provide a solar tracking structure that allows to include a high number of photovoltaic panels, provided with orientation means, both horizontally and vertically, that optimize the energy production, all with a configuration such that the device needs minimal maintenance, and that said Maintenance is easy to carry out.

Antecedentes de la invenciónBackground of the invention

Como es sabido, actualmente en el mercado existen una gran variedad de seguidores solares, siendo el más habitual el de tipo monoposte, el cual realiza el movimiento en azimut mediante un grupo reductor incorporado en el extremos del mástil. Dicho grupo hidráulico esta montado dentro de una carcasa de fundición y es el encargado de realizar tanto los movimientos de acimut como de elevación.As is known, currently in the market there is a great variety of solar trackers, being the most usual the monoposte type, which performs the movement in azimuth by means of a reduction group incorporated in the ends of the mast. Said hydraulic group is mounted inside a housing of foundry and is responsible for performing both the movements of Azimuth as elevation.

Para el movimiento en acimut el grupo hidráulico mueve un eje cilíndrico que sale por ambos extremos, en el que los ejes de dichos tubos están dispuesto perpendicular al mástil. A dicho tubo se le acopla los brazos necesarios para poder fijar los paneles solares.For the movement in azimuth the hydraulic group moves a cylindrical shaft that comes out from both ends, in which the axes of said tubes are arranged perpendicular to the mast. TO said tube is attached the necessary arms to fix the solar panels.

Analizando dicho seguidor, se puede apreciar la complejidad de los mecanismos de movimiento, en el cual están todos incorporados en un cuerpo único de difícil accesibilidad.Analyzing this follower, you can appreciate the complexity of the movement mechanisms, in which all are incorporated in a unique body of difficult accessibility.

Además, todas las cargas que se ejercen sobre los paneles se reparten en dos puntos de apoyo (unión de los brazos con el grupo hidráulico).In addition, all the charges that are exerted on The panels are divided into two points of support (arm connection with the hydraulic group).

Asimismo, son conocidos seguidores monoposte de gran envergadura compuestos por un poste de gran diámetro y poca altura, al cual se le acopla un sistema de engranajes con reductor para el movimiento en acimut. A dicho sistema se le acopla un conjunto formado por dos tubos cónicos que salen de dicho monoposte en disposición en "Y", a los cuales se le acopla en los extremos unos brazos donde se le unen los largueros necesarios para fijar los paneles solares. Para que los brazos puedan girar se les acopla entre la unión de estos y los tubos cónicos un actuador hidráulico.Likewise, monoposte followers of large span composed of a large diameter pole and little height, to which a gear system with gearbox is attached for the movement in azimuth. This system is coupled with a set consisting of two conical tubes coming out of said monoposte in "Y" arrangement, to which it is coupled in the ends some arms where the stringers necessary to join Fix the solar panels. So that the arms can rotate they are an actuator between the connection of these and the conical tubes hydraulic.

El inconveniente que dispone este sistema es el difícil equilibrio de los brazos ya que se deben equilibrar estos a través de dos actuadores hidráulicos, uno en cada brazo, pudiendo proporciona en ciertos casos el desequilibrio de estos.The disadvantage that this system has is the difficult balance of the arms since these must be balanced at through two hydraulic actuators, one in each arm, being able to provides in certain cases the imbalance of these.

Otro inconveniente que presentan este tipo de estructuras es que toda la fuerza de los paneles se transmite a un punto crítico que el del sistema de engranajes, pudiendo ocasionar pequeñas vibraciones que a la larga produzcan holguras en el sistema.Another drawback presented by this type of structures is that all the strength of the panels is transmitted to a critical point that of the gear system, being able to cause small vibrations that eventually produce slack in the system.

Así pues, la mayoría de los seguidores monoposte presentan como problema fundamental el que todos ellos transmiten las fuerzas hacia una corona de giro de reducido diámetro. Si a esto añadimos que la longitud del seguidor suele rondar entre los 15m se obtiene que las fuerzas transmitidas al conjunto de giro se ven multiplicadas por más de 7 veces.So, most of the monoposte followers present as a fundamental problem that they all transmit the forces towards a rotating crown of reduced diameter. Yes to this we add that the length of the follower is usually around 15m gets that the forces transmitted to the spin assembly are seen multiplied by more than 7 times.

Tratando de obviar esta problemática, son conocidos seguidores solares en los que se establece una bancada plana de grandes dimensiones, sobre la que se disponen mediante los correspondientes bastidores, una pluralidad de paneles fotovoltaicos distribuidos en varias filas, de longitud acorde con la cuerda correspondiente que se define en la plataforma circular en los distintos puntos de la misma, plataforma que rota sobre una serie de pilares que disponen ruedas internas para facilitar el deslizamiento, de manera que para evitar los desplazamientos laterales ésta dispone de un eje central fijado a tierra mediante una zapata de hormigón.Trying to ignore this problem, they are known solar trackers in which a bench is established large flat, on which they are arranged by corresponding racks, a plurality of photovoltaic panels distributed in several rows, of length according to the rope corresponding that is defined in the circular platform in the different points of it, platform that rotates on a series of pillars that have internal wheels to facilitate the sliding, so that to avoid displacements This side has a central axis fixed to ground by A concrete shoe.

La bancada gira gracias al accionamiento mecánico proporcionado por una correa dentada acoplada a un reductor, de manera que el grupo se fija entre dos pilares y la corea se fija en dos puntos de la bancada, posibilitando el giro en dos direcciones.The bench rotates thanks to the drive mechanic provided by a toothed belt coupled to a reducer, so that the group is fixed between two pillars and the Korea is set at two points on the bench, making it possible to turn in two directions.

Si bien mediante esta solución se soluciona el problema de la multiplicación de fuerzas hacia los elementos de movilización de la plataforma, presenta una problemática que se centra en los siguientes aspectos:Although this solution solves the problem of multiplication of forces towards the elements of platform mobilization, presents a problem that It focuses on the following aspects:

\bullet?
Los paneles presentan una inclinación preestablecida, de manera que no puede optimizarse la producción de energía.The panels have a preset tilt, so that the Energy production.

\bullet?
El giro se realiza a través de una correa dentada, siendo necesario periódicamente un ajuste de la misma para tensarla, así como una sustitución de la misma debido a la corta vida útil de las mismas.The turn is done through a toothed belt, periodically requiring an adjustment of the same to tense it, as well as a replacement of it due to The short life of them.

\bullet?
Los apoyos se realizan sobre unos pilares que disponen de unas ruedas en su interior, ruedas cuyo acceso a las mismas resulta complicado en las labores de mantenimiento.The supports are made on some pillars that have wheels inside, wheels whose access to them is complicated in the work of maintenance.
Descripción de la invenciónDescription of the invention

El seguidor solar que la invención propone resuelve de forma plenamente satisfactoria la problemática anteriormente expuesta en todos y cada uno de los aspectos comentados.The solar tracker that the invention proposes solves the problem fully satisfactorily previously exposed in each and every aspect commented.

Para ello, el seguidor que se preconiza está constituido a partir de una corona circular, que se fija inamoviblemente al suelo, a través de la correspondiente cimentación, corona circular que determina la guía o raíl sobre la que es desplazable una plataforma a base de perfiles tubulares en la que se establece centradamente una cabeza giratoria asociada mediante los correspondientes cojinetes o rodamientos a un eje de giro central, igualmente solidarizado al
suelo.
For this, the follower that is recommended is constituted from a circular crown, which is fixed immovably to the ground, through the corresponding foundation, circular crown that determines the guide or rail on which a platform based on profiles is movable tubular in which a rotating head associated with the corresponding bearings or bearings to a central axis of rotation is established, also in solidarity with the
ground.

Inferiormente a la estructura a base de perfiles tubulares se establecerán convenientemente distribuidos una serie de apoyos que comprenderán ruedas de apoyo sobre la citada corona circular, en orden a permitir el deslizamiento angular de la plataforma sobre la corona.Inferior to the profile-based structure tubular a series of supports that will include support wheels on said crown circular, in order to allow angular sliding of the platform on the crown.

La citada plataforma incorporará, debidamente asociada a la misma, un grupo moto-reductor con un piñón que provocará su desplazamiento, a cuyo efecto se ha previsto que en la corona no sólo se defina una superficie de apoyo y rodadura de las ruedas sobre las que desliza la plataforma, sino que en dicha corona se define una cremallera perimetral, y consecuentemente circunferencial, en la que engrana el citado piñón del grupo moto-reductor, el cual podrá indistintamente ser de tipo hidráulico o eléctrico. Este tipo de transmisión impide el giro de la plataforma si ésta no es accionada por el motor.The aforementioned platform will duly incorporate associated with it, a moto-reducer group with a pinion that will cause its displacement, for which purpose it is planned that not only a support surface is defined in the crown and rolling of the wheels on which the platform slides, but in said crown a perimeter zipper is defined, and consequently circumferential, in which the said pinion meshes of the moto-reducer group, which may regardless of being hydraulic or electric. This type of transmission prevents the platform from turning if it is not activated by the engine

De acuerdo con otra de las características de la invención, se ha previsto que, las agrupaciones de paneles fotovoltaicos que se establecen sobre la plataforma, éstos se dispongan sobre una serie de pilares, dispuestos en diferentes alineaciones paralelas, de altura progresivamente creciente en sentido posterior, de manera que la estructura soporte de los paneles pueda bascular con respecto a un imaginario plano vertical, a cuyo efecto cada una de dichas estructuras incorporará un brazo solidario a la misma, relacionándose articuladamente cada uno de dichos brazos a través de un conjunto de bielas, al que estará asociado de forma igualmente articulada un cilindro hidráulico, de manera que, mediante simple expansión o retracción del vástago de dicho cilindro, se provoca un cambio de la inclinación de todas las estructuras soporte de los paneles solares, y consecuentemente la inclinación de estos últimos, permitiendo optimizar la captación de energía solar en función de la época del año.According to another of the characteristics of the invention, it is envisioned that, panel groupings photovoltaic systems that are established on the platform, these are arrange on a series of pillars, arranged in different parallel alignments, progressively increasing height in back direction, so that the support structure of the panels can swing with respect to an imaginary vertical plane, for which purpose each of said structures will incorporate an arm in solidarity with it, articulating each one of said arms through a set of connecting rods, which will be also associated with a hydraulic cylinder, of so that, by simple expansion or retraction of the stem of said cylinder, causes a change in the inclination of all the support structures of solar panels, and consequently the inclination of the latter, allowing to optimize the capture of solar energy depending on the time of year.

La estructura así descrita permite distribuir los paneles solares fotovoltaicos de manera que el conjunto no supere los tres metros de altura, facilitando su integración en el entorno y permitiendo una menor separación entre seguidores debido a la menor generación de sombras motivada por una menor altura de dichas estructuras.The structure thus described allows distribution the photovoltaic solar panels so that the set does not exceed three meters high, facilitating its integration into the environment and allowing a smaller separation between followers due to the lowest generation of shadows motivated by a lower height of these structures.

Se consigue de esta manera una estructura sencilla que permite la inclusión de un elevado número de paneles fotovoltaicos, con un fácil mantenimiento y una gran accesibilidad a sus distintos componentes, todo ello sin que los medios de accionamiento se vean sometidos a elevados esfuerzos.In this way a structure is achieved simple that allows the inclusion of a large number of panels photovoltaic, with easy maintenance and great accessibility to its different components, all without the means of drive are subjected to high stress.
