[0031] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions of the present invention in conjunction with the embodiments. Obviously, the embodiments described are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0032] like Figures 1-6 As shown, one embodiment of the present invention provides a heliostat, including a torque tube 5, a plurality of trusses 3, and a reflector 1. The torque tube 5 includes a main tube 8 and a plurality of connectors for mounting the trusses 3. The connectors correspond to the trusses 3 one by one, and the plurality of connectors are sequentially arranged on the circumference of the main tube 8 along the axis of the main tube 8. The connectors include a first connecting plate 11 and a second connecting plate 13. The first connecting plate 11 and the second connecting plate 13 are symmetrical about the axis of the main tube 8.
[0033] The truss 3 includes a connected crossbeam 14, a first support rod 15, and a second support rod 16. One end of the first support rod 15 is hinged to the first end of the crossbeam 14, and one end of the second support rod 16 is hinged to the second end of the crossbeam 14. The ends of the first support rod 15 and the second support rod 16 away from the crossbeam 14 are respectively hinged to the first connecting plate 11; the top of the second connecting plate 13 is connected to the lower half of the crossbeam 14;
[0034] The crossbeam 14 has a bearing surface for mounting the reflector 1 , and the bearing surface and the backlight surface of the reflector 1 are connected via an elastic member.
[0035] In this embodiment, the bearing surface of the beam 14 and the reflector 1 are connected by an elastic member. In a complex environment with varying day and night temperatures, even if the beam 14 and the reflector 1 have different expansion coefficients, resulting in a significant difference in the deformation of the beam 14 and the reflector 1, the elasticity of the elastic member can, to a certain extent, compensate for the difference in thermal expansion and contraction between the glass reflector 1 and the metal beam 14 caused by temperature changes, thereby reducing stress and deformation of the beam 14 and the reflector 1, and reducing the sensitivity of the heliostat's surface accuracy to changes in ambient temperature. This ensures that the heliostat maintains a good surface accuracy throughout the year, improves the heliostat's overall optical performance throughout the year, and thereby increases the power generation of the power station.
[0036] As a preferred embodiment, the elastic member is a high-strength foam tape 2. The high-strength foam tape 2 is made of EVA or PE foam as a base material, coated with a solvent-based (or hot-melt) pressure-sensitive adhesive on both sides, and then covered with release paper. The high-strength foam tape 2 has a very high adhesive strength, which can ensure a stable adhesion to the reflector 1, ensuring the reliability and durability of the adhesion. Secondly, the foam base material has good buffering properties, which can compensate in thickness and plane direction to make up for the difference in deformation between the beam 14 and the reflector 1. In addition, using the high-strength foam tape 2 is more convenient than using a mirror holder or backboard for installation. There is no need to use fasteners such as bolts, and the installation steps are simpler.
[0037] In addition, in this embodiment, the reflector 1 is bonded to the beam 14 by the high-strength foam tape 2. The beam 14, the high-strength foam tape 2 and the reflector 1 are connected in a linear manner, which has better mechanical properties than the breakpoint connection of bolts and has a stronger ability to resist wind loads and gravity loads.
[0038] When in use, tear off the release paper on one side of the high-strength foam tape 2 and stick it to the bearing surface of the beam 14 , then tear off the release paper on the other side of the high-strength foam tape 2 and stick the backlight surface of the reflector 1 to the high-strength foam tape 2 .
[0039] As an optional embodiment, the elastic member includes a spring and a fixing plate, the fixing plate is a hard plastic plate, one end of the spring is fixed to the bearing surface of the beam 14, and the fixing plate is fixed to the end of the spring away from the bearing surface, and the side of the fixing plate facing the backlight surface of the reflector 1 is bonded to the backlight surface of the reflector 1 by an adhesive.
[0040] In an environment with a large temperature difference, the spring has good deformation ability and can therefore act as a buffer between the beam 14 and the reflector 1, thereby making up for the difference in deformation between the beam 14 and the reflector 1, and to a certain extent compensating for the difference in thermal expansion and contraction between the glass reflector 1 and the metal beam 14 due to temperature changes, reducing the stress deformation of the beam 14 and the reflector 1, ensuring that the reflector 1 maintains a normal surface shape, and stabilizing the surface accuracy of the reflector 1.
[0041] As a specific example, Figure 5 As shown, the crossbeam 14 includes a top plate 141, two vertical plates 144 and two bent plates 142, wherein the top plate 141 has a first plane and a second plane that are parallel to each other. The first plane is Figure 5 The upper surface of the middle top plate 141, the second plane is Figure 5 The first plane on the lower surface of the middle top plate 141 constitutes the aforementioned bearing surface. The two vertical plates 144 are located on the lower surface of the top plate 141 , and the two vertical plates 144 are perpendicular to the top plate 141 .
[0042] Furthermore, the top plate 141 has a first side and a second side that are perpendicular to each other. The first side is the long side of the top plate 141, and the second side is the short side of the top plate 141. Two vertical plates 144 are arranged along the short side of the top plate 141, so that a mounting cavity is formed between the two vertical plates 144. Along the short side of the top plate 141, a curved plate 142 is provided on each side of the top plate 141. The curved plate 142 bends toward the middle of the short side of the top plate 141. The end of the vertical plate 144 closest to the curved plate 142 is connected to the curved plate 142 by an arc-shaped transition 143. Furthermore, a hook-shaped plate 145 is connected to the end of the vertical plate 144 away from the top plate 141. The hook-shaped plate 145 bends toward the top plate 141.
[0043] Preferably, the top plate 141 , the bent plate 142 , the arc-shaped transition 143 , the vertical plate 144 and the hook-shaped plate 145 are integrally formed.
[0044] It should be noted that while conventional crossbeam 14 is shaped like a gate, the crossbeam 14 of this embodiment incorporates a bent plate 142, an arcuate transition 143, and a hooked plate 145. This increases the cross-sectional area of this crossbeam 14 by at least 20%-30% compared to conventional crossbeams, resulting in greater overall strength and load-bearing capacity. Furthermore, when subjected to stress, this crossbeam 14 is partially relieved through the bent plate 142 and arcuate transition 143, thereby extending the service life of the crossbeam 14.
[0045] like Figure 4As shown, the first support rod 15 and the second support rod 16 are both square tubes, and one end of the first support rod 15 and the second support rod 16 are respectively hinged to the left and right ends of the crossbeam 14. Specifically, one end of the first support rod 15 and the second support rod 16 are inserted into the mounting cavity of the crossbeam 14 and connected to the crossbeam 14 by bolts, rivets or pins.
[0046] It should be noted that the number of connectors on the torque tube 5 is determined according to the number of trusses 3 , and the number of trusses 3 is determined by analyzing and calculating the size of the reflector 1 and the local wind load conditions.
[0047] It should be noted that if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first connecting plate 11 in the connecting piece is welded to the arc surface of the lower half of the main pipe 8, and the second connecting plate 13 in the connecting piece is welded to the arc surface of the upper half of the main pipe 8. A first mounting hole and a second mounting hole are respectively opened at the left and right ends of the first connecting plate 11. Figure 1 The ends of the first support rod 15 and the second support rod 16 away from the crossbeam 14 are respectively connected to the mounting holes on the left and right ends of the first connecting plate 11. For example, the connection can be made by a pin or a rivet. Furthermore, the thickness of the second connecting plate 13 is less than the distance between the two vertical plates 144 in the crossbeam 14, that is, the second connecting plate 13 can be inserted into the mounting cavity of the crossbeam 14, and a pin hole is provided on the top of the second connecting plate 13. Figure 1 As shown, after the second connecting plate 13 is inserted into the installation cavity of the crossbeam 14 , the second connecting plate 13 and the crossbeam 14 are connected by a pin.

[0050] Preferably, the worm gear housing 17, the worm housing 19 and the connecting seat 18 are integrally formed.

[0051] In addition, the connecting seat 18 is hollow and has a cavity, which can further reduce the weight of the connecting seat 18 and save materials.
[0052] As an optional embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, a first weight-reducing hole 181 and a second weight-reducing hole 182 are provided on the side of the connecting seat 18, and the first weight-reducing hole 181 is higher than the second weight-reducing hole 182.

The purpose of the first weight-reducing hole 181 and the second weight-reducing hole 182 is to reduce the weight of the connecting seat 18 to save materials and reduce costs, while the function of the internal support plate is to ensure the strength of the connecting seat 18 itself.
[0053] Preferably, Figure 6 As shown, a base 20 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the worm gear housing 17 via a flange, and the base 20 and the upper surface of the column 7 are fixed via flanges and bolts.
[0054] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, it includes two fixed ear plates 12, which are located in the middle of the main pipe 8 and installed on the upper part of the main pipe 8.
