The first motor 15 supports the first motor 15.
Rotated. Further, the inside of the rear cylindrical body 20b is configured to have the same rotational moment as the front cylindrical body 20a with respect to the first rotation axis 14. Based on the calculation results, the first. A control command unit 23 that issues control commands to the second motor is housed. Note that if the weight of the control command section 23 is not sufficient to make the rotation moment constant, it is adjusted by adding a weight. By making the moments equal, not only is the mounting stable, but the responsiveness is improved, and the first motor 15 can also be rotated with a small torque. Similarly, if the left and right rotation moments of the second rotation axis 17 are made equal, the response speed of the second rotation axis will be increased,
Moreover, the drive motor can be downsized. Furthermore, the first
The sunlight is in a positional relationship perpendicular to the axial direction of the rotating shaft 14, and the distance between the bearing 15b and the rotating shaft transmission mechanism 15a is selected to be smaller than the outer diameter of the front cylindrical body. The drive means of the shaft 14 are not exposed to sunlight. Conversely, sunlight effectively irradiates the sunlight collection unit 10. Therefore, the U-shaped support arm 16 that supports the first rotating shaft 14, in which the motor 15, the rotation transmission mechanism 15a, and the bearing 15b are disposed, and in which the light guide is inserted, can also be made small. The gears 18a and 18b that transmit the rotation of the second motor 18 are compactly accommodated in the base portion 30, and the second rotation 17 is
It can be rotated about the axis 17 via.
