Abstract

The solar panel support has a horizontal triangular base which turns on a circular rail with a re-entrant profile, with an angle of about 90 degrees, using three wheels engaged in the profile of the rail. One of the wheels is motorised and turns the structure by friction against the rail to orient the panel in azimuth. The inclination of the panel is preset by adjusting the length of two tie-rails (3) between the top of the panel and the base. The tetrahedral structure confers great rigidity to the support with the minimum of material.

Description

L'invention concerne un support orienteur azimutal permettant d'orienter un panneau en azimut et de régler manuellement son angle de site. Ce support peut en particulier, mais non exclusivement être un support de cellules photovoltaïques pour orienter de façon appropriée un panneau en vue de recueillir les rayons solaires sur un système à irradier ou à chauffer (panneau réfléchissant de forme plana ou parabolique, chaudière, etc...); dans ce cas le gain énergétique ebtenu est de l'ordre de 35 %. The invention relates to an azimuth orienting support for orienting a panel in azimuth and for manually adjusting its elevation angle. This support may in particular, but not exclusively, be a support for photovoltaic cells for appropriately orienting a panel with a view to collecting the solar rays on a system to be irradiated or heated (reflective panel of plana or parabolic shape, boiler, etc. ..); in this case the energy gain achieved is of the order of 35%.

La présente invention se propose de fournir pour les surfaces irradiées inférieures à 10 m2, un support orienteur bénéficiant à la fois des qualités suivantes : coût réduit, fiabilité de fonctionnement, précision de l'ordre de I degré en azimut, réglage aisé en site. The present invention proposes to provide for irradiated surfaces less than 10 m2, an orienting support benefiting from both the following qualities: reduced cost, operating reliability, precision of the order of I degree in azimuth, easy adjustment in site.

D'autres caractéristiques, buts et avantages de l'invention se dégageront de la description qui suit, en référence aux dessins annexés, lesquels en présentent, à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, un mode de réalisation préféré.Other characteristics, objects and advantages of the invention will emerge from the description which follows, with reference to the appended drawings, which present, by way of nonlimiting examples, a preferred embodiment.

Sur ces dessins, qui font partie intégrante de la description
- La figure 1 est une vue schématique en perspective de ce mode de réalisation, swec arrachés partiels de certains éléments pour en faciliter la compréhension.
In these drawings, which form an integral part of the description
- Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of this embodiment, partial torn swec of certain elements to facilitate understanding.

- La figure 2 est une coupe verticale d'ensemble selon le plan axial. - Figure 2 is an overall vertical section along the axial plane.

- La figure 3 est une vue de détail du dispositif d'entraînement de la structure. - Figure 3 is a detail view of the drive device of the structure.

Le support est constitué d'une embase triangulaire horizontale I qui tourne sur un rail circulaire 2 pour assurer l'orientation en azimut; deux billes de longuenr réglables 3, articulées sur l'angle de l'embase qui soutient le dispositif d'entraînement 4, permettent le réglage en site du panneau 5, par pivotement autour du côté de l'embase triangulaire opposé à cet angle 6. The support consists of a horizontal triangular base I which rotates on a circular rail 2 to ensure the orientation in azimuth; two adjustable length 3 balls 3, articulated on the angle of the base which supports the drive device 4, allow the adjustment in elevation of the panel 5, by pivoting around the side of the triangular base opposite this angle 6.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, la structure triangulaire est supportée par trois roulettes 7 à bandages caoutchouc 8 prisonnières de la gorge extérieure du rail qui est surélevé et fixé sur le sol par des jambages 9. According to a preferred embodiment, the triangular structure is supported by three rollers 7 with rubber tires 8 trapped in the outer groove of the rail which is raised and fixed to the ground by legs 9.

Le mouvement de la structure est généré par une roulette motrice entraînée par un motoréducteur 10. La position du support en azimut est asservie en boucle ouverte par rapport à des références spatiales absolues grâce à une commande électronique approprtée, et la structure est susceptible de réaliser un tour complet sur le rail.  The movement of the structure is generated by a drive wheel driven by a geared motor 10. The position of the azimuth support is controlled in open loop with respect to absolute spatial references thanks to an appropriate electronic control, and the structure is capable of achieving a full turn on the rail.

REVENDICATIONS 1) Support orienteur azimutal permettant d'orienter un panneau en azimut et de le régler en site, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend une embase triangulaire horizontale tournant sur un rail circulaire, dont le profil extérieur ou intérieur présente un angle rentrant voisin de 90 , à l'aide de trois roulettes de guidage engagées dans le profil du rail. 1) Azimuth orienting support making it possible to orient a panel in azimuth and to adjust it in elevation, characterized in that it comprises a horizontal triangular base rotating on a circular rail, the external or internal profile of which has a re-entrant angle close to 90 , using three guide rollers engaged in the rail profile. Une des trois roulettes est motrice et entraîne le support triangulaire par friction sur le rail. Le réglage en site est réalisé par 2,bielles de longueur réglable fixées d'une part à la partie supérieure du panneau et articulées d'autre part au niveau de l'angle de l'embase comportant le dispositf d'entraî- nement. L'axe de pivotement du panneau est confondu avec le côté de l'embase opposé à l'angle comportant le dispositif d'entraînement de celle-ci. Cette t structure tétraàdrique confère une grande rigidité au support avec le minimum de matiere.One of the three rollers is driving and drives the triangular support by friction on the rail. The adjustment in elevation is carried out by 2, rods of adjustable length fixed on the one hand to the upper part of the panel and articulated on the other hand at the angle of the base comprising the drive device. The pivot axis of the panel coincides with the side of the base opposite the angle comprising the drive device thereof. This tetrahedral structure gives great rigidity to the support with the minimum of material. 2) Support orienteur selon la revendication 1, catactérisé en ce que les moyens de guidage de l'embase triangulaire supportant la structure comprennent un rail fixe de forme circulaire et des #moyens de roulement guidés par le rail. 2) Orienting support according to claim 1, characterized in that the guide means of the triangular base supporting the structure comprise a fixed rail of circular shape and #means of rolling guided by the rail. 3) Support orienteur selon les revendications I et 2, caractérisé par un réglage en site par 2 bielles de longaenr réglable, articulées sur un angle de l'embase triangulaire et sur la partie supérieure de la structure.  3) Orientation support according to claims I and 2, characterized by a site adjustment by 2 adjustable longaenr rods, articulated on an angle of the triangular base and on the upper part of the structure.
