Definitions
- the present invention encompasses within the field of solar trackers, and more specifically, T-shaped solar trackers, comprising a pedestal, cylindrical or parallelepiped, on which a bearing structure or support is fixed on its upper end structural mirrors or photovoltaic modules, two-axis rotation: azimuthal and elevation.
- the followers of the state of the art when exceeding 360 ° of total travel, and having their end of career at this point, are forced to go back, that is, turn in the opposite direction to the daily follow-up, to position themselves in the new starting position corresponding to the next day.
- This causes the solar reflection time to be lost to the tower, with the subsequent loss of energy and production time, during repositioning. of the solar tracker.
- it causes the danger of the rays moving randomly losing energy and time of production as it stops reflecting on the tower during the positioning of the solar tracker.
- US 6,123,067 discloses an azimuthal rotation mechanism of solar tracker support structures by means of two hydraulic cylinders, capable of rotating without the need to back off.
- This mechanism achieves this effect, by means of a complex and expensive system comprising a large rotating frame that rotates around the pedestal, operated by two cylinders comprising a first end fixed to a vertex of the frame and a second end fixed to an axis of turn, turn the axis of rotation of each different and close end of each cylinder fixed to a piece fixed to the pedestal by means of a cylinder, both bolted to the pedestal.
- This mechanism has the problem of large clearances and risk of friction of the frame with the pedestal.
- the invention relates to a solar tracker comprising a pedestal, cylindrical or parallelepiped, on which, at its upper end, a supporting structure or structural support of mirrors or photovoltaic modules is fixed, with an azimuthal rotation mechanism comprising:
- a fixed base comprising a support plate fixed to a cylindrical piece of diameter equal to the pedestal (upper end of the pedestal) by support ribs and a hollow cylinder of diameter equal to or less than the fixed pedestal on the support plate,
- a hollow cap preferably cylindrical, on which the bearing structure or structural support is fixed, arranged on the fixed base such that the hollow cylinder of the fixed base is arranged inside the cap and comprising:
- a rotating mechanical element arranged between the cap and the fixed base, comprising an inner ring fixed to the support plate and a rotating outer ring fixed to the bottom cap of the cap,
- the piston ends of the first and second cylinders being arranged inside the cap one on top of the other and connected by the same fixed axis of rotation perpendicular to the cylinders fixed to the hollow cylinder of the fixed base of the mechanism by a connecting piece, on which the cap rotates with the supporting structure it supports, actuated by the cylinders to which the cap is fixed.
- the two hydraulic cylinders are at different height, uneven, that is, one above the other to allow the crossing and avoid the collision between them.
- Figure 1 shows a side view of the solar tracker of the invention
- Figure 2 shows a section on ll-ll of Figure 1
- Figure 3 shows the cap of the azimuthal rotation mechanism.
- Figure 4 shows the fixed base of the azimuthal rotation mechanism.
- Figure 5 shows a detail of the cylinders fixed to the hollow cylinder of the fixed base of the mechanism of the invention.
- The. Figure 6 shows a perspective view of the cap with the cylinders and the fixed base of the blasting azimuthal rotation mechanism.
- FIG 1 shows a solar tracker comprising a supporting structure 2 on the pedestal 1, in which an azimuthal rotation mechanism is arranged at the upper end of the pedestal 1 comprising, as seen in Figures 3-6 :
- a fixed base 10 as can be seen in Figure 4, comprising:
- upper 15 ' , 15' and lower 16, 16 'for fixing hydraulic cylinders 6, 6' which may be extensions of the upper or lower covers or of the lateral surface, being in.
- the hydraulic cylinders 6, 6 ' are connected, by the end of their piston by means of the same fixed vertical axis of rotation 7, perpendicular to the cylinders, fixed to the hollow cylinder 13 by a connecting element 8 This allows the turn to exceed 360 ° without any impediment, so that the solar tracker does not have to go back to position itself at the beginning of each race.
- each cylinder 6, 6 ' is at a different height through a first and second opening 9, 9' of the surface side of the cap 3.
- the fixing of the cylinders 6, 6 'to the cap is by means of a clamp 14, 14' each, such that when the cylinders 6, 6 'are operated, the pistons thereof rotate with respect to the fixed vertical axis of rotation 7 and drive the rotation of the cap on which the bearing structure 2 is anchored.
- This tracking system is specially designed for application in solar trackers, but its extension to other fields of the industry that require similar azimuthal tracking characteristics is not ruled out.
