[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of solar energy, in particular to a solar energy automatic light chasing device. Background Art

[0002] Photovoltaic brackets are called the "skeleton" of photovoltaic power stations. They are special structural parts designed and installed in photovoltaic power generation systems to support, fix and rotate photovoltaic modules. In order for photovoltaic power stations to achieve power generation efficiency, photovoltaic brackets need to be combined with the topography, climate and solar energy resource conditions of the construction site to fix photovoltaic modules in a certain direction, arrangement and spacing.

[0003] At present, some solar mounts on the market are fixed. This kind of fixed solar mount means that there is only one best angle to absorb solar energy, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency is low. Another part of the solar mounts on the market are rotatable with low freedom. The photoelectric conversion efficiency is slightly higher than that of the fixed type, but it cannot achieve full-scale tracking of sunlight.

[0004] To address the above problems, a solar automatic light-tracking device has been developed that can achieve all-round tracking of sunlight, allowing sunlight to vertically illuminate solar panels at any time, significantly improving photoelectric conversion efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing solar supports that are unable to achieve all-round tracking of sunlight, resulting in low photoelectric conversion efficiency of solar panels, the utility model provides a solar automatic light-tracking device that can achieve all-round tracking of sunlight, so that sunlight can vertically illuminate solar panels at any time, significantly improving photoelectric conversion efficiency.

[0006] The technical solution is: a solar automatic light-chasing device, including a base, a first shell, a rotating disk, a second shell, a lifting plate, a third shell, a Z-shaped frame, a solar panel, a horizontal rotating component, a tilting component and a folding component. The first shell is connected to the middle of the base, the rotating disk is rotatably connected to the middle of the first shell, the upper side of the rotating disk is connected to the second shell, the upper part of the second shell is rotatably connected to the lifting plate, the upper side of the lifting plate is connected to the third shell, and the upper part of the third shell is rotatably connected to multiple Z-shaped frames, all of which are clamped with solar panels, the first shell is provided with a horizontal rotating component that can horizontally rotate the solar panel, the second shell is provided with a tilting component that can tilt the solar panel, and the third shell is provided with a folding component that can fold the solar panel.

[0007] Furthermore, a mounting hole is provided on the base.

[0008] Furthermore, the solar panel has a two-layer structure.

[0009] Furthermore, the horizontal rotating assembly includes a servo motor and gears. The servo motor is connected to the interior of the lower side of the first shell, the middle of the rotating disk is connected to the gear, the output shaft of the servo motor is connected to the gear, and the gears are meshed with each other.

[0010] Furthermore, the tilting assembly includes a first electric cylinder, the first electric cylinder is rotatably connected inside the second shell, and the lifting plate is rotatably connected to the telescopic end of the first electric cylinder.

[0011] Furthermore, the folding assembly includes a second electric cylinder, a connecting plate and a rotatable connecting rod. The second electric cylinder is connected to the inside of the third shell. The telescopic end of the second electric cylinder is connected to a connecting plate. A plurality of rotatable connecting rods are connected to the connecting plate. The Z-shaped frames are rotatably connected to adjacent rotatable connecting rods.

[0012] The beneficial effects are: 1. The utility model starts the first electric cylinder to push the lifting plate to rotate, so that the third shell drives the solar panel to tilt. When the sunlight angle changes, the servo motor is started to drive the gear meshing movement to rotate the rotating disk, and then the solar panel rotates horizontally, achieving the effect of being able to track sunlight in all directions, allowing sunlight to vertically illuminate the solar panel at any time, and significantly improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency.
