The device for varying the incline of
photovoltaic power generation inclination by using fluid
thermal expansion of the present invention comprises a
thermal expansion cylinder device and an automatic deviation correction device for simultaneously correcting deviations of the height and inclination angle of a photovoltaic panel. The
thermal expansion cylinder device is composed of a thermal expansion fluid, a main
piston, and a cylinder. The cylinder interior is filled with the thermal expansion fluid, the volume of which expands or contracts according to the temperature, thereby moving the main
piston in the longitudinal direction. The
linear displacement of the thermal expansion cylinder device installed between the photovoltaic panel and a fixed structure contracts when the ambient temperature is low (for example, winter
solstice), thereby increasing the
angle of inclination of the photovoltaic panel, and the
linear displacement of the thermal expansion cylinder device expands when the temperature is high (for example, summer
solstice), thereby lowering the
angle of inclination of the photovoltaic panel. The automatic deviation correction device comprises an expanded volume
accommodation device, a spring, an auxiliary
piston, a
check valve, and a pushrod. The forward movement length of the main piston is limited after summer
solstice when the upper
limit setting value is set. The
check valve is opened by the thermal expansion
fluid pressure such that the fluid flows into an excess expanded volume
accommodation device. The auxiliary piston moves backward and compresses the spring, and when the temperature descends again after the highest temperature has been reached, the
check valve is closed by the spring elastic force and pressure deviation.
