Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of new energy, and in particular to a photovoltaic bracket. Background Art

[0002] There are various tracking methods for photovoltaic brackets. There are two main commonly used tracking methods. One is the tracking method of the apparent sun trajectory. The principle of the apparent sun trajectory tracking is to calculate the solar altitude and azimuth parameters at each moment from sunrise to sunset every day based on the sun's motion trajectory through a computer using astronomical formulas. The control system controls the motor to rotate according to the calculated solar altitude and azimuth parameters, driving the tracking device to track the sun. This tracking method is closely related to the calculation of the sun's position, the geographical location (such as longitude, latitude, etc.), and the system clock, resulting in the need for horizontal and north-pointing adjustments during its initial installation. This not only increases the workload during installation, but also makes it difficult to control its tracking accuracy and has low sensitivity. Another type of photoelectric sensor solar tracking control method uses photosensitive silicon photoelectric tubes, silicon photocells and other components to capture sunlight. The sensor is generally installed on a lighting panel. The position of the sun captured by the sensor controls the motor to rotate to adjust the position of the photovoltaic panel so that the photovoltaic panel faces the sun. Although this tracking method is convenient to install and has high sensitivity, its cost is relatively high.

[0003] In view of this, the applicant filed this application after studying the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0023] Furthermore, the rotating block 9 is semi-cylindrical, and one side of the cross section is connected to the photovoltaic panel frame 2 , so as to facilitate the rotation of the rotating block 9 on the rotating platform 7 .

[0024] Preferably, the driving mechanism also includes a second motor 11 and a gear 12, the second motor 11 is mounted on the bracket 3, and the gear 12 is coaxially fixed to the output end of the second motor 11; a rotating gear 13 is arranged on the circumferential side wall of the rotating table 7, and the rotating gear 13 is engaged with the gear 12.
