[0028] Please refer to Figure 1-4 The present application discloses a heliostat backing plate, comprising a plate body 1. The plate body 1 includes a plate surface 2. The plate surface 2 is surrounded by two first long sides 21, two first short sides 22, and a first corner 23 for connecting the first long sides 21 and the first short sides 22. The two first long sides 21 are opposite and parallel. The two first short sides 22 are opposite and parallel. The first long sides 21, the first short sides 22, and the first corner 23 are all folded away from the reflector to form a first folded edge 4. The first folded edge 4 protrudes from the plate surface 2 in a direction toward the reflector and forms a first adhesive surface 42. The first adhesive surface 42 surrounds the plate body.

[0029] Several punched grooves 3 are punched into the plate body 1. The opening of each punched groove 3 faces the reflector. The punched groove 3 is a rectangular groove, and the opening edges are respectively two second long sides 31, two second short sides 32, and a second corner 33 for connecting the second long sides 31 and the second short sides 32. The two second long sides 31 are opposite and parallel. The two second short sides 32 are opposite and parallel. The second long sides 31, the second short sides 32, and the second corner 33 are all folded away from the reflector to form a second folded edge 5. The second folded edge 5 protrudes from the plate surface 2 in the direction toward the reflector and forms a second adhesive surface 52. The second adhesive surface 52 surrounds the punched groove 3 in which it is located. The first adhesive surface 42 and the second adhesive surface 52 are located in the same plane and are used together to bond the reflector.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 Specifically, the plurality of punching grooves 3 are arranged in a matrix. The first short side 22 and the second short side 32 are parallel. The first long side 21 and the second long side 31 are parallel. That is, the length and width of the punching grooves 3 are consistent with the length and width of the plate surface 2.

[0031] More specifically, the stamping grooves 3 are spaced apart from each other. A plurality of transverse ribs 6 and a plurality of longitudinal ribs 7 are formed on the plate body 1. The transverse ribs 6 and the longitudinal ribs 7 are stamped integrally with the plate body 1. The transverse ribs 6 and the longitudinal ribs 7 are both part of the panel 2 on the side facing the reflector. The transverse ribs 6 and the longitudinal ribs 7 are staggered in a grid pattern. The transverse rib 6 is connected between the two first short sides 22, and is located between the first long side 21 and the second long side 31 adjacent thereto, or between the two second long sides 31 adjacent thereto in the width direction of the plate body 1. The longitudinal rib 7 is connected between the two first long sides 21, and is located between the first short side 22 and the second short side 32 adjacent thereto, or between the two second short sides 32 adjacent thereto in the length direction of the plate body 1. The transverse ribs 6 and the longitudinal ribs 7 can ensure the rigidity of the plate body 1, making it less likely for the plate body 1 to deform, thereby ensuring the stability of the mirror surface size of the reflector.

[0032] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 If the number of stamping grooves 3 is too large, the shape of the stamping die will be complicated and the processing difficulty will increase. If the number of stamping grooves 3 is too small, the number of corresponding transverse ribs 6 and longitudinal ribs 7 will be reduced, and the improvement of the rigidity of the plate body 1 by the transverse ribs 6 and longitudinal ribs 7 will be reduced. Therefore, the number of stamping grooves 3 should be appropriately selected according to the ratio between the size of the plate body 1 and the size of the stamping grooves 3. In a preferred embodiment of the present application, the number of stamping grooves 3 is sixteen. The sixteen stamping grooves 3 are arranged in the form of a 4*4 matrix, forming five transverse ribs 6 and five longitudinal ribs 7.

[0033] On the other hand, the first fold 4 and the second fold 5 can also improve the rigidity of the board 2. Figure 2 , Figure 2 for Figure 1Cross-sectional view along the AA direction. Figure 2 In the figure, the middle vertical section is the board surface 2. Located above the board surface 2 is the first folded edge 4, which is formed by folding over a first long side 21 of the board surface 2. The first folded edge 4 includes a first inclined section 41, a first adhesive surface 42, and a first flange 43. The first inclined section 41 is connected between the board surface 2 and the first adhesive surface 42, and the first adhesive surface 42 protrudes from the board surface 2. The first flange 43 is connected to the side of the first adhesive surface 42 away from the board surface 2 and is bent in the direction away from the reflector. Located below the board surface 2 is the second folded edge 5, which is formed by folding over the second long side 31 of the stamping groove 3. The second folded edge 5 includes a second inclined section 51, a second adhesive surface 52, and a second flange 53. The second inclined section 51 is connected between the board surface 2 and the second adhesive surface 52, and the second adhesive surface 52 protrudes from the board surface 2. The second flange 53 is connected to the side of the second adhesive surface 52 away from the board surface 2 and is bent in the direction away from the reflector.

[0034] Figure 3 for Figure 1 Cross-sectional view along the BB direction. Figure 3 In the figure, the middle vertical section is the plate body 1, and the two sides of the plate body 1 are the second folded edges 5.

[0035] The first folded edge 4 and the second folded edge 5 both have a C-shaped cross-section, are structurally non-limiting, and can provide the plate body 1 with sufficient rigidity.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, in order to reduce the weight of the plate body 1, the bottom of the punching groove 3 is hollowed out. The degree of hollowing out of the punching groove 3 can be appropriately selected according to the rigidity of the plate body 1. It can be completely hollowed out or partially hollowed out. Figure 1 In the embodiment, the bottom of the stamping groove 3 is completely hollowed out. By hollowing out the bottom of the stamping groove 3, the weight of the plate body 1 is reduced, which is beneficial to the overall lightweighting of the heliostat.

[0037] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 , a bolt hole slot 9 is provided at the intersection of the transverse reinforcement 6 and the longitudinal reinforcement 7. The bolt hole slot 9 is cross-shaped, with one side of the cross parallel to the transverse reinforcement 6 and the other side parallel to the longitudinal reinforcement 7. A bolt hole 8 is also provided at the intersection of the transverse reinforcement 6 and the longitudinal reinforcement 7. The bolt hole 8 is used to connect the plate body 1 to the heliostat truss. The bolt hole 8 is provided on the bottom wall of the bolt hole slot 9 and is located in the center of the cross of the bolt hole slot 9. The bolt hole slot 9 is conducive to increasing the stiffness near the bolt hole 8 and reducing the local deformation. The arrangement of the bolt hole 8 at the intersection of the transverse reinforcement 6 and the longitudinal reinforcement 7 is conducive to minimizing the deformation of the plate body 1 and the reflector mounted thereon.

[0038] Figure 4 for Figure 1 Cross-sectional view in CC direction. Figure 4In the figure, the middle vertical section is the bottom wall of the bolt hole slot 9, and the longitudinal reinforcement 7 is connected to both ends of the bottom wall of the bolt hole slot 9.

[0039] Vent holes 12 are defined between each first corner 23 and the adjacent second corner 33 on the plate 1. These vent holes 12 balance the pressure between the space between the plate 1 and the reflector and the outside world. They also serve as drainage holes during heliostat operation, facilitating stable operation.

[0040] In order to facilitate the positioning of the plate body 1 during packaging, transportation and gluing, a plurality of circular grooves 10 and a plurality of key grooves 11 are provided on the plate body 1. Figure 1 There are twelve circular grooves 10, three of which are arranged on each side of the plate body 1, and each circular groove 10 is located on the longitudinal rib 7 or the transverse rib 6. There are four key-shaped grooves 11, which are arranged in a rectangular shape near the middle of the plate body 1 and are all located on the transverse rib 6 or the longitudinal rib 7. Figure 1 The number and arrangement of the circular grooves 10 and key grooves 11 are shown for exemplary purposes only. In other embodiments of the present application, the number and arrangement of the circular grooves 10 and key grooves 11 may be modified accordingly based on the actual use of the back panel. The circular grooves 10 and key grooves 11 not only serve to position the panel 1 but also help increase the rigidity of the panel 1.

[0041] When the plate 1 is bonded to the reflector, the first bonding surface 42 and the second bonding surface 52 are bonded to the reflector using silicone or foam tape. Other suitable adhesives may also be used in other embodiments of the present application. By selecting different adhesives, the impact of different climate environments and reflector sizes on the overall performance of the heliostat can be addressed.

[0042] The heliostat backplane of this application has the following advantages:

[0043] 1. By providing the first folded edge 4 and the second folded edge 5, and by using the first adhesive surface 42 on the first folded edge 4 and the second adhesive surface 52 on the second folded edge 5 to achieve bonding between the backboard and the reflector, compared with the existing heliostat backboard, the continuity of the glue line can be ensured, and the problems of glue breakage and excessive local glue discharge during the gluing process can be effectively avoided.

[0044] 2. Both the first folded edge 4 and the second folded edge 5 have non-limiting structures and can improve the overall rigidity of the plate body 1.

[0045] 3. The plate body 1 is integrally stamped and formed, and has a simple structure. The waste shapes and specifications of the back plate produced by selective stamping are affected by the environment of the implementation site and are easy to recycle, saving costs.

[0046] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone skilled in the art may modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by one of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and technical principles disclosed in the present invention are intended to be covered by the claims of the present invention.
