Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of engineering application technology, and in particular to an automatic light-tracking device with a solar panel. Background Technology

[0002] On construction sites such as buildings and railways, due to the high requirements of standardized construction, a series of electrical devices such as video surveillance often need to be equipped with large-capacity solar panels and energy storage battery power modules to ensure that monitoring cameras, meteorological and environmental monitoring facilities can be powered 24 / 7. However, the solar panels in most solar power generation devices cannot move with the rising and setting of the sun. This means that the solar panels can only convert solar energy for a period of time each day, resulting in low utilization of natural resources. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: to address the problem that existing solar panels can only convert solar energy for a period of time in a day, resulting in low utilization of natural resources, and to provide an automatic solar tracking device with solar panels.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] An automatic solar tracking device with a solar panel, characterized in that it comprises:

[0006] A frame, comprising a body and side frames, the body extending in a direction away from the ground, and the side frames fixedly connected to the body and extending in a direction away from the body;

[0007] The mounting bracket includes a mounting plate, a first mounting arm, and a second mounting arm. One side of the second mounting arm is mounted to the side frame, and the other side of the second mounting arm is rotatably connected to the first mounting arm. The mounting plate is rotatably connected to the side of the first mounting arm away from the second mounting arm, and the mounting plate has a mounting position on the side away from the side frame.

[0008] A solar panel, the solar panel including a sun-facing side and a connecting side, the connecting side being detachably mounted on the mounting position;

[0009] A light source sensing module is installed on the sun-facing side;

[0010] The controller is fixedly installed on the body and electrically connected to the solar panel and the light source sensing module;

[0011] The power supply unit is located in the body and is electrically connected to the solar panel, the controller and the light source sensing module.

[0012] Optionally, the first mounting arm and the second mounting arm, as well as the first mounting arm and the mounting plate, can rotate relative to each other via a limit motor.

[0013] Optionally, the second mounting arm is also rotatably connected to the side frame.

[0014] Optionally, the power supply unit is configured as an energy storage battery.

[0015] Optionally, the rack is also equipped with a communication transmission module.

[0016] Optionally, the frame is also equipped with a positioning module.

[0017] Optionally, the rack is also equipped with a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor.

[0018] Optionally, the rack is also equipped with a camera.

[0019] Optionally, the rack is further provided with an information acquisition position, which is configured as a notice board or QR code displayed on the surface of the rack.

[0020] Optionally, the frame is further provided with an equipment housing, which is detachably installed on the side surface of the body. The communication transmission module, the energy storage battery, the controller, and the positioning module are all installed in the inner cavity of the equipment housing.

[0021] The present invention adopts the above technical solution and has the following technical effects compared with the prior art:

[0022] In this utility model's technical solution, the frame includes a main body and side frames. The main body is fixed to the ground as a fastener, and its extension direction is along a direction away from the ground, allowing many related parts or components to be fixed on the vertically extending main body. The side frames are fixedly connected to the main body, making them also fixed relative to the ground. The addition of side frames also increases the number of related parts or components that can be fixed on the frame. It should be noted that the mounting frame includes a mutually rotatable mounting plate, a first mounting arm, and a second mounting arm. The first and second mounting arms are located between the mounting plate and the main body. Understandably, the placement of the first and second mounting arms increases the degree of freedom between the mounting plate and the frame, allowing the frame to move freely in multiple directions relative to the main body, increasing the flexibility and rotation angle of the mounting plate, and also increasing the rotation angle of the mounting surface.

[0023] Understandably, the installation of solar panels allows the automatic solar tracking device to absorb solar energy and convert it into electricity. Furthermore, because the solar panels are mounted on a mounting plate, they can rotate freely in multiple directions relative to the device's body. Simultaneously, the inclusion of a light source sensor module allows the solar panels to automatically move with the sun under the control of a controller. This multiple degree of freedom ensures that the solar panels can better follow the movement of sunlight during the day, enabling them to convert solar energy only for a limited time each day, thus better utilizing natural resources and improving their utilization rate.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0029] Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown: This utility model proposes an automatic light-tracking device with a solar panel.

[0031] In this embodiment of the invention, the automatic solar tracking device with a solar panel includes:

[0032] A frame 100 includes a body 110 and a side frame 120. The body 110 extends in a direction away from the ground, and the side frame 120 is fixedly connected to the body 110 and extends in a direction away from the body 110.

[0033] Mounting bracket 200 includes mounting plate 210, first mounting arm 220 and second mounting arm 230. One side of the second mounting arm 230 is mounted to the side frame 120, and the other side of the second mounting arm 230 is rotatably connected to the first mounting arm 220. The mounting plate 210 is rotatably connected to the side of the first mounting arm 220 away from the second mounting arm 230. The mounting plate 210 has a mounting position on the side away from the side frame 120.

[0034] A solar panel, the solar panel including a sun-facing side and a connecting side, the connecting side being detachably mounted on the mounting position;

[0035] A light source sensing module 240 is installed on the sun-facing side;

[0036] The controller 430 is fixedly installed on the body 110 and electrically connected to the solar panel and the light source sensing module 240.

[0037] The power supply unit is located on the body 110 and is electrically connected to the solar panel, the controller 430 and the light source sensing module 240.

[0038] In this utility model's technical solution, the frame 100 includes a body 110 and a side frame 120. The body 110 is fixed to the ground as a fixing member, and its extension direction is along a direction away from the ground, allowing many related parts or components to be fixed on the vertically extending body 110. The side frame 120 is fixedly connected to the body 110, making the side frame 120 also fixed relative to the ground. The provision of the side frame 120 also increases the number of related parts or components that can be fixed on the frame 100. It should be noted that the mounting frame 200 includes a mounting plate 210, a first mounting arm 220, and a second mounting arm 230 that can rotate relative to each other. The first mounting arm 220 and the second mounting arm 230 are located between the mounting plate 210 and the body 110. Understandably, the arrangement of the first mounting arm 220 and the second mounting arm 230 increases the degree of freedom between the mounting plate 210 and the frame 100, allowing the frame 100 to move freely in multiple directions relative to the frame 100. This increases the flexibility and rotation angle of the mounting plate 210, and also increases the rotation angle of the mounting surface.

[0039] Understandably, the installation of solar panels allows the automatic solar tracking device to absorb solar energy and convert it into electrical energy. Since the solar panels are mounted on the mounting plate 210, they can also rotate freely in multiple directions relative to the body 110. Simultaneously, the presence of the light source sensing module 240 allows the solar panels to automatically move with the sun under the control of the controller 430. With multiple degrees of freedom, the solar panels can better follow the movement of sunlight during the day, thus enabling them to convert solar energy only for a limited time each day, thereby better utilizing natural resources and improving their utilization rate.

[0040] Furthermore, the first mounting arm 220 and the second mounting arm 230, as well as the first mounting arm 220 and the mounting plate 210, achieve relative rotation via limit motors. In this embodiment, the first mounting arm 220, the second mounting arm 230, and the mounting plate 210 all achieve relative rotation at fixed positions via limit motors. Understandably, the use of limit motors makes the relative rotation smoother. Of course, in other embodiments, relative rotation can also be achieved via servo motors. The limiting working direction of the limit motor is both vertical and horizontal relative to the extension direction of the fuselage 110, allowing the mounting plate 210 to achieve angle adjustment within a first plane, which is defined as the plane between the sun and the ground, and the plane where the fuselage 110 is located. In this embodiment, the first plane is the plane formed by the line connecting the sun and the ground and the fuselage 110. It can be understood that when the mounting plate 210 rotates freely in this plane, it can better absorb solar energy from the sun. It should be noted that the vertical and horizontal directions of the limit motor are also located in this first plane. The working plane of the limit motor also provides a basis and guarantee for the free rotation of the mounting plate 210 in the first plane.

[0041] Furthermore, the second mounting arm 230 is also rotatably connected to the side frame 120. In this embodiment, the second mounting arm 230 and the side frame 120 are also rotatably connected. It can be understood that when the second mounting arm 230 and the side frame 120 are also rotatably connected, the degree of freedom of movement of the entire device is increased, which is more conducive to the movement of the solar panel and can also better provide rotational protection for the solar panel to absorb solar energy.

[0042] Furthermore, the power supply unit is configured as an energy storage battery 420. In this embodiment, the power supply unit is configured as an energy storage battery 420, so that the device can store the energy absorbed and converted during the day in the energy storage battery 420. At night, since there is no solar energy conversion, the energy stored during the day can be taken out and used, which increases the working time of the device and achieves the effect of making full use of energy and improving work efficiency.

[0043] Furthermore, a communication transmission module 410 is also provided on the rack 100. In this technical solution, the rack 100 is also provided with a communication transmission module 410. Understandably, the establishment of the communication transmission module 410 establishes a connection between the device and electronic products such as mobile phones or computers, enabling staff to monitor and control the operation of the rack 100 in real time even when they are away from the rack 100. When the automatic control of the motor malfunctions, it can also be detected and repaired immediately.

[0044] Furthermore, the rack 100 is also equipped with a positioning module 440. In this technical solution, the rack 100 is equipped with a positioning module 440, which allows the position of the rack 100 to be determined. Understandably, since most of the devices work in the field and are mostly stored separately, the positioning module 440 allows users to lock the position of the device at the first moment, thereby improving work efficiency and facilitating daily maintenance and repair.

[0045] Furthermore, the rack 100 is also equipped with a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor. In this technical solution, the rack 100 is equipped with temperature and humidity sensors, enabling the rack 100 to detect changes in temperature and humidity near the project site in real time and transmit the data to a mobile app via communication means. This allows staff to keep abreast of the latest situation and make the most timely response when needed.

[0046] Furthermore, a camera 300 is also provided on the rack 100. In this technical solution, the camera 300 on the rack 100 allows the image of the vicinity of the rack 100 to be transmitted to the staff in real time, enabling the staff to keep abreast of the latest situation and make the most timely response when needed. It also enables the safety inspection of the working area of ​​the rack 100, thereby improving the safety of the project.

[0047] Furthermore, the rack 100 is also provided with an information acquisition position, which is configured as a notice board or QR code displayed on the surface of the rack 100. In this technical solution, the information acquisition position is configured as a QR code or notice board displayed on the screen module. That is, staff can obtain real-time temperature and humidity information, device maintenance time, device operating time, internal component information, weather forecast, memos, etc., by viewing the information acquisition position. In one embodiment, the information acquisition position is configured as a QR code on the screen module, and the user obtains information by scanning the QR code. In another embodiment, it is configured as a notice board, and the user can directly view the information on the notice board.

[0048] Furthermore, the rack 100 is also provided with an equipment housing 400, which is detachably mounted on the side surface of the body 110. The communication transmission module 410, the energy storage battery 420, the controller 430, and the positioning module 440 are all installed inside the equipment housing 400. In this technical solution, the equipment housing 400 on the rack 100 allows the communication transmission module 410, the energy storage battery 420, the controller 430, and the positioning module 440 to be housed within the housing, reducing the possibility of damage and facilitating routine maintenance and repair by staff.

[0049] Finally, the following points should be noted: First, in the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", and "linkage" should be interpreted broadly, and can be mechanical or electrical connections, or internal connections between two components, or direct connections.
