Definitions

  • each rail's profile are preferably selected according to the specific requirements of a particular application.
  • the first and second rails 208, 210 are preferably shaped through a roll forming process. However, it should be appreciated that the rails 208, 210 could alternately be shaped through an extrusion, stamping, machining or any suitable process.
  • the first and second rails 208, 210 and the plurality of web structures 212a-d are fabricated from the same material, such as for instance high-strength steel.
  • the plurality of web structures 212a-d are preferably attached to the first and second rails 208, 210, respectively, by one of welding, riveting or Tox® joining or any other suitable coupling mechanism.

Abstract

Au moins un aspect de la présente invention concerne un ensemble cadre de support destiné à supporter un dispositif solaire, tel un réseau d'éléments miroirs et/ou de panneaux photovoltaïques. L'ensemble cadre de support comprend une pluralité d'ensembles bras de support, comprenant chacun une paire de rails et une pluralité de structures d'âme reliant les rails. De manière spécifique, chacune des structures d'âme a une base qui est attachée à l'un des rails et une paire de montants s'étendant vers l'autre des rails, et étant attachés à celui-ci. Les structures d'âme sont de préférence formées par le biais d'un simple processus d'estampage, au moins l'une des structures d'âme étant au moins partiellement en une relation d'emboîtement avec une autre des structures d'âme.
