Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of solar energy equipment, and in particular to a heliostat support. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of society and the economy, people's demand for energy is increasing, and electricity is an indispensable energy source for industry and daily life. Coal-fired power generation is one of the traditional power generation methods, but it requires a huge amount of coal, which is a non-renewable resource and does not meet the requirements of sustainable development strategies. Furthermore, the large-scale use of traditional mineral energy sources has led to increasingly serious environmental pollution. Traditional power generation methods, such as coal-fired power generation, can no longer meet people's growing energy needs. To avoid further environmental damage, finding a new type of clean and renewable energy is urgent, and solar energy, as a clean and renewable energy source, is receiving increasing application. Solar thermal power generation technology is an emerging solar energy utilization technology following photovoltaic power generation technology. Among them, tower solar thermal power generation technology has received widespread attention due to its advantages of energy storage and 24-hour uninterrupted power generation.

[0003] Solar thermal power generation, as an effective way to utilize solar energy, has attracted widespread attention from researchers. The basic principle of solar thermal power generation is to reflect sunlight onto an absorber tower using heliostats. This heats the working fluid inside the tower, generating steam, which then drives a turbine to power a generator. Tower solar thermal power plants typically contain tens of thousands of heliostats, and the stability of the heliostat structure has a significant impact on the quality of sunlight reflection.

[0023] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0024] The present invention relates to a heliostat support in which all the components described above are installed, connected or set in common mechanical ways, and the specific structure, model and coefficient index of all its components are its own technologies. As long as they can achieve their beneficial effects, they can be implemented, so they will not be described in detail.

At the same time, numerals such as "first," "second," and "third" do not represent specific quantities or orders, but are merely used to distinguish names. Moreover, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a series of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a heliostat support includes a mounting base 1, a support column 2, a mounting seat 3, a support frame 4, a support shaft 5, a movable seat 6, bolts 7, and a fixing plate 8. The support column 2 is coaxially mounted on the mounting base 1. The mounting seat 3 is rotatably mounted on the support column 2 at its symmetrical end to the mounting base 1. The support frame 4 is mounted on the mounting seat 3. The support frame 4 is provided with a shaft hole. The support shaft 5 is rotatably mounted at the shaft hole of the support frame 4. Movable seats 6 are slidably mounted at both ends of the support shaft 5. The movable seats 6 are provided with threaded holes. Bolts 7 are installed at the threaded holes of the movable seats 6. The bolts 7 are connected to the support shaft 5. The fixing plate 8 is mounted on the movable seats 6.

[0027] During use, the mounting base 1 facilitates the fixed installation of the support column 2, while increasing the area between the support column 2 and the ground foundation to enhance stability. The mounting seat 3 allows the support frame 4 to rotate and be mounted on the support column 2. The support frame 4 allows the support shaft 5 to rotate and be supported on the mounting seat 3. The movable seat 6 allows the fixing plate 8 to slide and be mounted on the support shaft 5. The bolt 7 is threadedly engaged with the support shaft 5 and connected to it to fix the position of the fixing plate 8. The movable seat 6 is slidably connected to the support shaft 5 to facilitate the adjustment of the positions of the two sets of fixing plates 8. The fixing plate 8 facilitates the fixing of the heliostat. The rotational connection between the support shaft 5 and the support frame 4 facilitates the adjustment of the heliostat's support angle. The rotational connection between the mounting seat 3 and the support column 2 facilitates the adjustment of the heliostat's support direction, increasing the adaptability of the device and improving the convenience of assembly and transportation.

[0028] As a preferred embodiment of the above, it further includes a hollow shaft 9, a transmission worm gear 10, a power shaft 11, a transmission worm 12, a fixed base 13, and a servo motor 14. The hollow shaft 9 is coaxially mounted on the mounting base 3, and the transmission worm gear 10 is coaxially mounted on the hollow shaft 9. A through hole is provided on the support column 2, and the power shaft 11 is rotatably mounted at the through hole of the support column 2. The transmission worm 12 is coaxially mounted on the power shaft 11, and the transmission worm 12 is meshed with the transmission worm gear 10 for transmission. A fixed base 13 is provided on the support column 2, and the servo motor 14 is mounted on the fixed base 13. The output end of the servo motor 14 is coaxially connected with the power shaft 11.

[0029] During use, the transmission worm gear 10 is coaxially mounted on the mounting base 3 via the fixing plate 8. The transmission worm 12 is rotated and supported inside the cavity of the support column 2 via the power shaft 11. The servo motor 14 is stably mounted on the support column 2 via the fixing base 13. The servo motor 14 provides rotational power to the power shaft 11. The power shaft 11 drives the transmission worm 12 to rotate and mesh with the transmission worm gear 10, thereby adjusting the direction of the heliostat on the mounting base 3 via the hollow shaft 9. The meshing of the transmission worm gear 10 and the transmission worm 12 gives the transmission a one-way self-locking function, improving the transmission stability of the device and increasing the working connection strength of the device.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment of the above, it further includes a swing beam 15, a guide post 16, a transmission rod 17, and a threaded post 18. The swing beam 15 is mounted on the support shaft 5 and has an adjustment groove. The hollow shaft 9 has a polygonal inner cavity, in which the guide post 16 is slidably mounted. The transmission rod 17 is coaxially mounted on the guide post 16 and is slidably connected to the adjustment groove of the swing beam 15. The hollow shaft 9 has a threaded through hole, and the threaded post 18 is mounted at the threaded through hole of the hollow shaft 9. The threaded post 18 is rotatably mounted on the guide post 16.

[0031] During use, the guide post 16 is slidably connected to the hollow shaft 9 through the multi-faceted shaft cavity, which limits the relative movement trajectory of the guide post 16. The rotation of the threaded post 18 and its engagement with the threaded through hole of the hollow shaft 9 cause the guide post 16 to move the position of the transmission rod 17. The movement of the transmission rod 17 and its engagement with the adjustment groove of the swing beam 15 cause the support shaft 5 to drive the heliostat on the moving seat 6 to adjust the angle. The threaded engagement between the threaded post 18 and the hollow shaft 9 gives the transmission a self-locking function, improving the stability of the device's adjustment connection.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment of the above, it also includes a motor frame 19, a drive motor 20 and a drive shaft 21. The motor frame 19 is coaxially mounted on the hollow shaft 9. The drive motor 20 is mounted on the motor frame 19. The drive shaft 21 is coaxially mounted on the output end of the drive motor 20. A polygonal shaft cavity is provided on the threaded column 18. The drive shaft 21 is connected to the polygonal shaft cavity of the threaded column 18 for transmission.

[0033] During use, the drive motor 20 is stably supported on the hollow shaft 9 by the motor frame 19 and rotates synchronously with the hollow shaft 9. The drive motor 20 provides rotational power to the drive shaft 21. The drive shaft 21 is connected to the multi-faceted shaft cavity of the threaded column 18 through a transmission connection, so that the power transmission relationship between the threaded column 18 and the drive shaft 21 remains unchanged when their connection positions move relative to each other. The synchronous rotation of the motor frame 19 and the drive motor 20 with the hollow shaft 9 ensures that the angle of the heliostat is not affected when the direction is adjusted.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment of the above embodiment, it also includes stiffening plates 22. Multiple sets of stiffening plates 22 are installed at equal angles on the outer side of the support column 2. The multiple sets of stiffening plates 22 are connected to the mounting base 1.

[0035] During use, multiple sets of stiffening plates 22 work together to connect the mounting base 1 with the support column 2 for support, thereby improving the connection strength and support stability between the support column 2 and the mounting base 1 and increasing the safety of the device during operation.

[0036] As a preferred embodiment of the above, it further includes a guide block 23, a guide groove is provided on the support shaft 5, and a guide block 23 is provided on the movable seat 6. The guide block 23 and the guide groove of the support shaft 5 are slidably connected.

[0037] During use, the guide block 23 cooperates with the guide groove of the support shaft 5 to make the two sets of moving seats 6 and the support shaft 5 have the same connection angle, which increases the synchronization of the fixing angle of the two sets of fixing plates 8 on the heliostat, reduces the difficulty of subsequent assembly, and improves the ease of use.

[0038] As a preferred embodiment of the above embodiment, it also includes a protective box 24, which is respectively mounted on the mounting base 3 and the support frame 4, and the swing beam 15 and the transmission rod 17 are located in the inner cavity of the protective box 24.

[0039] During use, the transmission rod 17 and the swing beam 15 are isolated and protected by the protective box 24, which increases the dust protection of the transmission components of the device and improves the working safety and adaptability of the device to the working site.

[0040] As a preferred embodiment of the above embodiment, the mounting base 1 is further provided with a plurality of mounting holes at equal intervals;

[0041] During use, the mounting base 1 is equipped with multiple sets of equidistant mounting holes to facilitate the fixed installation of the device. The equidistant mounting holes on the mounting base 1 ensure that the force is the same at all angles when the device is fixed, thereby increasing the fixed installation strength of the device.

[0042] First, the mounting base 1 is fixed to the base with bolts. Then, the heliostat is supported by two sets of fixing plates 8. Next, the servo motor 14 is started, which drives the transmission worm gear 12 to rotate via the power shaft 11. The transmission worm gear 12 then meshes with the transmission worm wheel 10, which drives the mounting base 3 to adjust its direction via the hollow shaft 9. Then, the mounting base 3 rotates synchronously on the fixing plate 8 via the support shaft 5 on the support frame 4 and the moving seat 6. Then, the drive motor 20 is started, which drives the drive shaft 21 to rotate. The drive shaft 21 then engages with the threaded column 18 and is threaded to the hollow shaft 9, causing the guide column 16 to move the swing beam 15 relative to the hollow shaft 9. Finally, the transmission rod 17 engages with the adjustment groove of the swing beam 15, which adjusts the angle of the heliostat on the fixing plate 8 via the support shaft 5.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
