Hereinafter, a solar module angle adjusting device and an assembly method thereof according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a perspective view of a configuration of a solar module angle adjustment device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, the solar module angle adjusting device 100 includes a base plate 120, an array plate 110 seated on an upper surface of the base plate 120, and a constant shape on the array plate 110. A plurality of solar modules 111 arranged at intervals, the upper angle control block 10 for adjusting the upper side angle of the plurality of solar modules 111, the left side of the plurality of solar modules 111 or It may be configured to include a left and right angle adjustment block 20 to adjust the right side angle.

The base plate 120 is connected to the support member 130 on the fixture 140 for fixing to the ground. In FIG. 1, four support members 130 are provided. However, the number of the support members 130 may be lower or higher.

The array plate 110 is a plate on which a plurality of solar modules 111 are disposed. In other words, the photovoltaic modules 111 are disposed on the array plate 110 at a predetermined interval horizontally and vertically to be a solar array.

The upper angle adjusting block 10 adjusts the upper side angle of the solar module 111. To this end, the upper angle control block 10 is the first to fourth gear reducers (180-1 to 180-4) and one of the motors (180) to drive these gear reducers (180-1 to 180-4). It is composed. The first to fourth gear reducers 180-1 to 180-4 may be planetary gear reducers.

In general, a planetary gear refers to a gear transmission of a mechanism that rotates around one of a pair of gears to be engaged and the other to be engaged. Therefore, when the sun gear is rotated by the power transmitted from the motor 180, the planetary gear rotates along the inner surface of the ring gear, and the planetary gear carrier may wind and unwind the connecting line 161.

Of course, one embodiment of the present invention exemplifies a planetary gear, but is not limited to this, other gears may be used.

2 is a conceptual diagram of a typical photovoltaic cell, photovoltaic module, and photovoltaic array. Referring to FIG. 2, the solar cell 111-1 is the minimum unit, and the solar cell 111-1 is arranged in parallel and / or in series to form one aggregate. When a plurality of such solar modules 111 are arranged, a solar array 210 is obtained.

3 is a conceptual diagram of the angle adjustment shown in FIG. Referring to FIG. 3, a spring 310 is inserted into an outer surface of the angle adjusting rod 320. The spring 310 may be compressed and restored as an elastic member. In order to use such compression and restoration, a through hole 301 is formed at the side of the solar module 111, and the solar cell module 111 is prevented from escaping out at the end of the angle adjusting rod 320. The fixing plate 325 is installed.

The angle adjusting rod 320 is formed of a support 321 and a rod-shaped body 323 having a straight shape formed integrally with the support 321. Therefore, the solar module 111 can move in the vertical direction along the rod body 323. That is, when the photovoltaic module 111 is near the support 321, the position of the photovoltaic module 111 becomes substantially horizontal. On the contrary, when the solar module 111 reaches the vicinity of the fixing plate 325, the position of the solar module 111 has a constant inclination.

The connecting line 161 is connected to the gear reducer 160-1. The connecting line 161 may be connected to another angle adjusting rod 320 as one line. That is, in FIG. 3, only the connecting line 161 is connected to one angle adjusting rod 320, but the connecting line 161 is connected to the connecting lines inserted into the rod body 323 of the other angle adjusting rod 320. Can be connected. Of course, it is also possible to connect these connection lines to the gear reducer 160-1 by configuring a separate connection line for each angle adjusting rod 320 instead of one connection line 161.

The motor 170 which connects this gear reducer 160-1 to the gear reducer 160-1 is connected. The controller 350 may be configured to adjust the rotational speed of the motor 170. The controller 350 is composed of a microprocessor, a memory, an electronic circuit, and the like. Therefore, the controller 350 controls the angle of the photovoltaic module 111 to be adjusted to a predetermined angle according to season and time information.

In general, when looking at the altitude of the sun in each season in Korea, the latitude is about 35 °, so in the spring and autumn, the sun is about 35 °, in winter, the sun is about 12 °, and in summer The sun's altitude will change by about 58 °.

Therefore, the four-season fixed installation type has a problem in that economic efficiency is poor because the solar panel is fixed at an inclination of 35 ° toward the south direction, so that at least 70% of the maximum output is not obtained except for spring and autumn.

In contrast, in the case of the present invention, the angle of the photovoltaic module 111 is usually raised in the summer to an angle obtained by subtracting about 15 degrees from the latitude of the installation place, and in winter, the angle of the solar module 111 is increased to the angle plus 15 degrees from the latitude of the installation place. Therefore, it is possible to maximize the power generation efficiency according to the change of season. Of course, the angle adjustment of the solar module 111 may also be made according to the morning or afternoon time information.

The controller 350 may adjust the angle of the solar module 111 according to the preset angle adjustment control information. Of course, it is also possible for the user to simply set and adjust the angle. In other words, when the user sets a constant angle through the controller 350, the controller 350 performs angle control according to the set information.

4 is a cross-sectional view taken along the A-A axis of the angle adjustment rod shown in FIG. Referring to Figure 4, the rod body 401 is formed with a groove 401 is inserted into the connecting line 161 on the side. In FIG. 3, the groove 401 is shown in front for convenience of understanding, but a hole (dashed line passage of FIG. 3) is formed at the side of the support 321 opposite to the groove 401. .

5 is a conceptual diagram of the angle adjusting rod in another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 5, the angle adjusting rod 520 may have a compressible antenna shape. In this case, the spring 310 is inserted into the outer surface. The connecting line 161 is inserted into the antenna shape 520, and the end of the connecting line 161 is connected to the fixing plate 521.
