Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of photovoltaics, and in particular to an automatic control photovoltaic system and a control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Solar energy is one of the most widespread energy sources globally, with a theoretical annual power generation capacity exceeding 6,000 times human needs. It is also geographically independent, with abundant and widespread resources. Photovoltaic power generation directly converts solar energy into electricity through semiconductor materials. Each kilowatt of a photovoltaic system reduces carbon dioxide emissions by approximately one ton annually, equivalent to planting 50 more trees for the planet. Photovoltaic power generation does not rely on fuel combustion and emits no greenhouse gases, exhaust, or noise, making it a truly green energy source. Photovoltaic power generation supports centralized power plants, distributed rooftop installations (such as distributed PV plants on rural rooftops), and building-integrated systems. Thanks to its clean energy characteristics and rapid installation, photovoltaic power generation has rapidly grown worldwide.

[0003] Currently, most installed photovoltaic systems use fixed mounting systems, meaning the panels can only face one direction. Since the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, it's almost impossible for these fixed-mounted panels to maintain a perpendicular orientation to the sun's rays. This leads to issues like insufficient sunlight utilization and low power generation efficiency. While automatic tracking systems exist, they require numerous sensors, complex algorithms, and multiple calibrations to achieve a near-perpendicular orientation. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention provides an automatic control photovoltaic system and a control method thereof to solve the technical problems existing in the known technology.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the technical problems existing in the known technology is:

[0006] An automatic control photovoltaic system includes a photovoltaic panel assembly, an electrical detection system, a dual-axis drive system and a control system;

[0007] Photovoltaic panel components are used to convert light energy into electrical energy and output it;

[0009] The dual-axis drive system is used to drive the photovoltaic panel assembly to rotate around two intersecting axes;

[0010] The control system is used to receive detection signals from the electrical detection system and output signals to control the action of the dual-axis drive system, so that the photovoltaic panel components adjust their posture according to changes in the detection signals.

[0011] Furthermore, the dual-axis drive system includes a photovoltaic panel mounting frame, an upper support column, an articulated power center, and a lower support column arranged in sequence from top to bottom; the lower end of the lower support column is fixedly connected to the fixed base;

[0012] Photovoltaic panel mounting frame, used to fix photovoltaic panel components, is rectangular in shape, with its center hinged to the upper end of the upper support column, and has four hinge seats A arranged diagonally; the hinge seats A are arranged in groups of two and are symmetrically arranged around the center;

[0013] The articulated power center includes a spherical shell, motor A, motor B, four short pendulums, four vertical connecting rods and a long pendulum; motor A is an outer rotor motor, and its outer rotor is fixedly embedded in the spherical shell; the four short pendulums are arranged in pairs with their axes coincident, and each group of short pendulums is symmetrically arranged with the center of the spherical shell as the center. The two groups of short pendulums are respectively called the first and second groups of short pendulums; the axis of the first group of short pendulums is parallel to one diagonal of the photovoltaic panel mounting frame; the axis of the second group of short pendulums is parallel to the other diagonal of the photovoltaic panel mounting frame; the first group The two short pendulums in the short pendulum have one end fixedly connected to the stator of motor A and the other end hinged to two of the connecting rods; the two short pendulums in the second group have one end fixedly connected to the spherical shell and the other end hinged to the other two connecting rods; the four connecting rods are hinged to the four hinge seats A in a one-to-one correspondence; the center of the long pendulum is hinged to the lower support column, and the two connecting rods connected to the first group of short pendulums are hinged to the two ends of the long pendulum; the center of the long pendulum is fixedly connected to the output shaft of motor B, and the housing of motor B is relatively fixed to the lower support column;

[0014] The lower end of the upper support column and the upper end of the lower support column are hinged to the spherical shell.

[0015] Furthermore, the four connecting rods are correspondingly spherically hinged to the hinge seat A.

[0016] Furthermore, the connecting rod connected to the long rocker arm is ball-hinged with the long rocker arm, and the middle part thereof is hinged with the corresponding short rocker arm in the second group of short rocker arms through a hinge pin; the first group of short rocker arms are hinged with the corresponding connecting rod by ball hinge.

[0017] Furthermore, the dual-axis drive system also includes a limiting device for limiting the movement of the spherical shell in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the lower support column; the limiting device includes four vertical limiting columns fixed between the upper and lower support columns; the four vertical limiting columns surround the spherical shell, and four short rocker arms extend from the gaps between the four vertical limiting columns.

[0018] Furthermore, a long hole is opened on the upper part of the lower support column for the long rocker arm to pass through; and a through hole is opened on the side wall of the long hole for the output shaft of the motor B to pass through.

[0019] Furthermore, the photovoltaic panel mounting frame includes a square frame and diagonal support bars arranged diagonally in the square frame; a hinge seat C is provided at the center of the lower surface of the diagonal support bar, and four hinge seats A are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the diagonal support bar; the hinge centers of the hinge seat C and the hinge seat A are in the same plane; a horizontal slot is provided on one side of the photovoltaic panel mounting frame, and a fixed baffle is provided on the other side. One side of the photovoltaic panel assembly is horizontally inserted into the slot, and the photovoltaic panel assembly on the other side is replaced by disassembling and assembling the fixed baffle.

[0020] Furthermore, the fixed base adopts a composite spiral-prefabricated base foundation structure, which includes a prefabricated base, a connecting section and a spiral steel pipe connected in sequence from top to bottom, wherein:

[0021] The prefabricated base is made of high-strength concrete mixed with glass fiber or carbon fiber, and its shape is a prism or truncated cone with annular grooves or spiral grooves on the circumferential surface; a circular hole is reserved on the upper part for installing the lower support column;

[0022] The spiral steel pipe has a flange A on the top and spiral blades on the surface;

[0023] The connecting joint includes a pre-buried steel casing embedded in the bottom of the prefabricated base. The circumference of the pre-buried steel casing is provided with cross ribs. The bottom of the pre-buried steel casing is provided with a flange B connected to the flange A.

[0024] The present invention also provides a control method for automatically controlling a photovoltaic system as described above, the method comprising the following steps:

[0025] Step 1: Initialize the dual-axis drive system to make the photovoltaic panel assembly horizontal; let the diagonal line of the photovoltaic panel mounting frame parallel to the axis of the first set of short swing arms be the first diagonal line, and let the diagonal line parallel to the axis of the second set of short swing arms be the second diagonal line;

[0026] Step 2: The control system outputs a signal to control motor B to operate, causing the output shaft of motor B to rotate relative to its housing, thereby driving the long swing arm to rotate relative to the lower support column. This, in turn, drives the photovoltaic panel assembly to rotate in one direction by an angle around the second diagonal line via the connecting rod. Simultaneously, the control system receives a detection signal from the electrical detection system.

[0027] If the detected current or voltage increases, the control system outputs a signal to make motor B continue to rotate, driving the photovoltaic panel assembly to continue to rotate in that direction until the detected current or voltage begins to decrease, at which point motor B stops rotating.

[0028] If the detected current or voltage decreases, the control system outputs a signal to reverse the rotation of motor B, driving the photovoltaic panel assembly to rotate in the opposite direction until the detected current or voltage begins to decrease, at which point motor B stops rotating;

[0029] At this point, the first diagonal line of the photovoltaic panel mounting frame is perpendicular to the incident light;

[0030] Step 3: The control system outputs a signal to control motor A to operate, causing the housing of motor A to rotate relative to its stator, thereby driving the second set of short swing arms to rotate relative to the first set of short swing arms, and further driving the photovoltaic panel assembly to rotate an angle in one direction around the first diagonal line via the connecting rod. Simultaneously, the control system receives a detection signal from the electrical detection system.

[0031] If the detected current or voltage increases, the control system outputs a signal to make motor A continue to rotate, driving the photovoltaic panel assembly to continue to rotate in that direction until the detected current or voltage begins to decrease, at which point motor A stops rotating.

[0032] If the detected current or voltage decreases, the control system outputs a signal to reverse the rotation of motor A, driving the photovoltaic panel assembly to rotate in the opposite direction until the detected current or voltage begins to decrease, at which point motor A stops rotating;

[0033] At this time, the first diagonal line and the second diagonal line of the photovoltaic panel mounting frame are both perpendicular to the incident light.

[0034] Furthermore, motor A and motor B are servo motors or stepper motors; the control system outputs a signal to control motor A and motor B to rotate according to a set step angle.

[0035] The advantages and positive effects of the present invention are:

[0036] (1) Based on the principle that two intersecting axes determine a plane, two motors are used to control the photovoltaic panels to rotate around their two intersecting axes respectively, so that the plane where the photovoltaic panels are located after rotation is perpendicular to the light, thereby achieving the purpose of tracking the incident light from the light source, thereby realizing more light energy utilization and improving power generation efficiency.

[0037] (2) The electrical detection system detects changes in current or voltage through only one type of sensor, provides commands for the rotation of the two motor control panels, and realizes automatic control through control methods such as random rotation trial and error correction. There is no need to set up angle sensors to detect the solar incidence angle and the rotation angle of the photovoltaic panel assembly. The number of sensors is reduced while getting rid of the dependence on complex algorithms and geographical data of the installation site.

[0038] (3) An articulated power center structure consisting of a spherical shell, motor A, motor B, four short pendulums, four vertical connecting rods and a long pendulum is adopted; motor A and motor B drive the corresponding short pendulums and long pendulums to rotate, thereby driving the photovoltaic panel assembly to rotate around two intersecting axes respectively; the two short pendulums, two vertical connecting rods and one long pendulum are hingedly connected to form a double parallelogram plane connecting rod linkage mechanism, so that when motor B drives the photovoltaic panel assembly to rotate around one of the two intersecting axes, it simultaneously drives the rotation axis of motor A to rotate, ensuring that the other axis of the two intersecting axes of the photovoltaic panel assembly is parallel to the rotation axis of motor A. When motor A drives the photovoltaic panel assembly to rotate around the other axis, it will not affect the rotation angle of the rotation axis of motor A itself. By rotating around the two intersecting axes in the above manner, the plane where the photovoltaic panel is located can be perpendicular to the light without the need for multiple corrections.

[0039] (4) By providing four vertical limit posts fixedly connected between the upper and lower support posts, the upper and lower support posts can be relatively fixed, so that the upper support post supports the photovoltaic panel assembly; the spherical shell can also be located within the four corners enclosed by the four vertical limit posts. The four vertical limit posts are respectively located within the angle formed by two adjacent short swing arms among the four short swing arms. Due to the mutual restriction of the four vertical limit posts and the four short swing arms, the spherical shell is restricted when moving in the plane direction perpendicular to the axis of the lower support post 4. The four vertical limit posts can be connected by welding, threading, etc., with a simple structure and easy assembly.

[0040] (5) The photovoltaic panels can be repaired, maintained and replaced by disassembling and installing the fixed baffles of the photovoltaic panel bracket, thereby reducing the subsequent use costs.

[0041] (6) The overall structure of the present invention is simple and the control method is simple. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Four short rocker arms extend from the gaps between the four vertical limiting columns 6. The four vertical limiting columns 6 may be evenly distributed along the circumference of the spherical housing 31.

[0095] The two ends of the four vertical limit columns 6 are respectively connected to the upper support column 2 and the lower support column 4, so that the spherical shell 31 can rotate, and the upper support column 2 and the lower support column 4 are firmly connected.

[0115] The present invention also provides a control method for automatically controlling a photovoltaic system as described above, the method comprising the following steps:

[0116] Step 1, initialize the dual-axis drive system to make the photovoltaic panel assembly 1 in a horizontal state; assume that among the two diagonals of the photovoltaic panel mounting frame 11, the diagonal parallel to the axis of the first group of short rocker arms is the first diagonal, and the diagonal parallel to the axis of the second group of short rocker arms is the second diagonal.

[0117] Step 2: The control system outputs a signal to control the operation of motor B52, causing the output shaft 54 ​​of motor B to rotate relative to its housing, driving the long rocker arm 51 to rotate relative to the lower support column 4, and further driving the photovoltaic panel assembly 1 to rotate an angle in one direction around the second diagonal line through the connecting rod. At the same time, the control system receives a detection signal from the electrical detection system.

[0118] If the detected current or voltage increases, the control system outputs a signal to make the motor B52 continue to rotate, driving the photovoltaic panel assembly 1 to continue to rotate in that direction until the detected current or voltage begins to decrease, and the motor B52 stops rotating.

[0119] If the detected current or voltage decreases, the control system outputs a signal to reverse the motor B52, driving the photovoltaic panel assembly 1 to rotate in the opposite direction until the detected current or voltage begins to decrease, and then the motor B52 stops rotating.

[0120] At this time, the first diagonal line of the photovoltaic panel mounting frame 11 is perpendicular to the incident light.

[0121] In step 3, the control system outputs a signal to control motor A to operate, causing the housing of motor A to rotate relative to its stator, thereby driving the second set of short rocker arms to rotate relative to the first set of short rocker arms, and further driving the photovoltaic panel assembly 1 to rotate an angle in one direction around the first diagonal line via the connecting rod. At the same time, the control system receives a detection signal from the electrical detection system.

[0122] If the detected current or voltage increases, the control system outputs a signal to make motor A continue to rotate, driving the photovoltaic panel assembly 1 to continue to rotate in that direction until the detected current or voltage begins to decrease, at which point motor A stops rotating.

[0123] If the detected current or voltage decreases, the control system outputs a signal to reverse the rotation of motor A, driving the photovoltaic panel assembly 1 to rotate in the opposite direction until the detected current or voltage begins to decrease, at which point motor A stops rotating.

[0124] At this time, the first diagonal line and the second diagonal line of the photovoltaic panel mounting frame 11 are both perpendicular to the incident light.

[0125] Preferably, motor A and motor B52 can be servo motors or stepper motors; the control system outputs a signal to control motor A and motor B52 to rotate according to a set step angle.
