Description

Technical Field

[0002] Traditional fixed-installation solar photovoltaic (PV) panels have a fixed orientation and angle, unable to adjust in real time according to changes in the sun's position. This means that the panels do not receive sunlight at the optimal angle for most of the day, significantly limiting solar energy conversion efficiency. Studies have shown that fixed-installation PV panels can have a 20%-50% lower power generation efficiency compared to PV panels that can track the sun in real time.

[0003] The reference patent is titled "High-Efficiency Solar Automatic Tracking Device" (Publication No. CN203759552U, Publication Date 2014-08-06). This device enables the solar panel to change with the solar altitude angle and azimuth angle, keeping it perpendicular to the sunlight, thereby improving the utilization rate of the solar cell. Furthermore, this device combines photoelectric detection tracking method and solar angle tracking method, which not only improves the sensitivity of the solar tracking device, but also makes it less susceptible to interference from weather and other light sources, exhibiting high stability and small error.

[0004] Based on the aforementioned patent, existing automatic tracking devices lack a corresponding rapid positioning structure between themselves and photovoltaic panels. During installation, installers need to spend a lot of time aligning the installation positions of the photovoltaic panels and tracking devices, making it difficult to quickly and accurately determine the installation angle and position of the photovoltaic panels. This results in low assembly efficiency and may affect subsequent tracking effects and the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic panels due to inaccurate positioning. Therefore, this utility model provides a high-efficiency automatic tracking device for solar photovoltaic panels. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a high-efficiency automatic tracking device for solar photovoltaic panels.

The four sets of side blocks are provided with sliding grooves, and sliding rods are slidably connected inside the sliding grooves. A clamping rod is fixed at the upper end of the sliding rod, and a segment is fixed at the lower end of the sliding rod.

[0008] The drive unit is located at the bottom of the mounting plate and is used to push the slide bar to move in a directional manner along the slide groove on the side block.

[0009] Preferably, the drive unit includes a screw fixedly connected to the lower part of the mounting plate, and a cross block is slidably sleeved on the outside of the screw.

[0014] Beneficial effects

[0015] This invention provides a high-efficiency automatic tracking device for solar photovoltaic panels. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0016] 1. This high-efficiency automatic tracking device for solar photovoltaic panels incorporates a structure within its assembly that uses a threaded sleeve to drive a cross block and compress a spring, generating elastic force. This elastic force acts as a buffer and stabilizer during device operation, reducing the impact of vibration. Simultaneously, this structure allows for precise movement of the segments and sliding rods, which in turn drive the clamping rods to achieve stable and reliable clamping and assembly of the photovoltaic panels. This ensures that the photovoltaic panels maintain the correct position and orientation under the automatic tracking assembly, facilitating efficient tracking and utilization of solar energy.

[0017] 2. This high-efficiency solar photovoltaic panel automatic tracking device is designed with a drive unit. Through the rotation of the threaded sleeve, the threaded sleeve rotates downward along the screw under the action of the thread. Since the threaded sleeve is tightly connected to the cross block, the downward rotation of the threaded sleeve will drive the cross block to move downward synchronously. As the cross block is pressed down, the movable connecting shaft rotatably connected to the end of the cross block will be subjected to a downward thrust. Under the action of this thrust, the movable connecting shaft will transmit the force to the segment block rotatably connected to the other end, thereby pushing the segment block to move. This greatly improves the assembly efficiency, and is simple to operate and highly practical. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a high-efficiency automatic tracking device for solar photovoltaic panels, specifically including the following embodiments:

[0026] Example 1: A high-efficiency automatic tracking device for solar photovoltaic panels includes an automatic tracking component 1. An assembly component 2 is connected to the upper end of the automatic tracking component 1. The assembly component 2 includes: an abutment unit 21, disposed at the upper end of the automatic tracking component 1, including a mounting plate 211, with four sets of side blocks 212 fixedly connected around the periphery of the mounting plate 211. The four sets of side blocks 212 are provided with sliding grooves, and sliding rods 214 are slidably connected inside the sliding grooves. A clamping rod 215 is fixed to the upper end of the sliding rod 214, and a segment block 213 is fixed to the lower end of the sliding rod 214; and a drive unit 22, disposed at the lower part of the mounting plate 211, for pushing the sliding rod 214 along the side... The slide groove on the side block 212 moves in a directional manner; the drive unit 22 drives the segment block 213 to move. Since the segment block 213 is fixedly connected to the slide rod 214, the movement of the segment block 213 will drive the slide rod 214 to move together. The slide rod 214 is designed to slide in the slide groove on the side block 212. Driven by the segment block 213, the slide rod 214 moves in a directional manner along the slide groove on the side block 212. The movement of the slide rod 214 will cause the clamping rod 215 fixed at its upper end to change position. As the slide rod 214 moves in a directional manner, the clamping rod 215 gradually approaches the photovoltaic panel and finally achieves the clamping and assembly of the photovoltaic panel.

[0027] Example 2: The main difference between this example and the first technical solution is that: a high-efficiency solar photovoltaic panel automatic tracking device, the drive unit 22 includes a screw 221 fixedly connected to the lower part of the mounting plate 211, and a cross block 222 slidably sleeved on the outside of the screw 221. A movable connecting shaft 227 is rotatably connected to the end of the cross block 222, and the other end of the movable connecting shaft 227 is rotatably connected to the segment block 213. A first washer 22 is fixedly fixed at the lower end of the cross block 222 and slidably sleeved on the outside of the screw 221. 3. The other end of the first washer 223 is connected to a spring 224. The end of the spring 224 is connected to a second washer 225 that is fixed to the end of the screw 221. A threaded sleeve 226 is screwed onto the screw 221, so that the threaded sleeve 226 rotates downward and drives the cross block 222 to press down synchronously. The lower end of the screw 221 is fixed with an insert rod 3. The top end of the automatic tracking component 1 is connected to a sleeve 4. The insert rod 3 can be inserted into the sleeve 4. Both the insert rod 3 and the sleeve 4 are provided with positioning pins 5 for insertion. The socket, automatic tracking component 1 includes a photosensitive sensor, a controller, and a motor drive module, and the power output end of the motor drive module is connected to the power input end of the sleeve 4; by rotating the threaded sleeve 226, under the action of the thread, the threaded sleeve 226 rotates downward along the screw 221. Since the threaded sleeve 226 is tightly connected to the cross block 222, during the downward rotation of the threaded sleeve 226, it will drive the cross block 222 to move downward synchronously, thereby compressing the spring 224 connected to the lower end of the cross block 222. When the spring 224 is compressed, it will produce elastic deformation and provide corresponding elastic force. This elastic force plays a buffering and stabilizing role in subsequent operations. As the cross block 222 is pressed down, the movable connecting shaft 227 rotatably connected to the end of the cross block 222 will be pushed downward. Under the action of this push, the movable connecting shaft 227 will transmit the force to the segment 213 rotatably connected to the other end, thereby pushing the segment 213 to move.

[0028] It is worth noting that in practical applications, the automatic tracking component 1 uses a photosensitive sensor to detect the intensity of sunlight. The photosensitive sensor converts the received light intensity information into electrical signals and transmits these signals to the controller. The controller analyzes and processes these signals, and determines the sun's position by comparing the differences in signal intensity from different sensors. Based on the analysis results, the controller sends a command to the drive system. The drive system typically consists of a motor and a transmission mechanism. The motor starts according to the command and drives the photovoltaic panel to rotate through the transmission mechanism, causing the photovoltaic panel to move towards the direction of stronger sunlight until the light intensity received by each photosensitive sensor reaches equilibrium. At this point, the photovoltaic panel is aligned with the sun.

[0029] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.

[0030] During operation, firstly, insert the insertion rod 3 accurately into the sleeve 4. After the insertion rod 3 is successfully inserted into the sleeve 4, use the positioning pin 5 to insert it into the pre-set insertion hole on the insertion rod 3 and the sleeve 4. In this way, the assembly component 2 and the automatic tracking component 1 are firmly connected together, ensuring that there will be no relative displacement between them during subsequent operation of the device. After the assembly component 2 and the automatic tracking component 1 are installed and fixed, rotate the threaded sleeve 226. Under the action of the thread, the threaded sleeve 226 rotates downward along the screw 221. Since the threaded sleeve 226 is tightly connected to the cross block 222, during the downward rotation of the threaded sleeve 226, it will drive the cross block 222 to move downward synchronously, thereby generating force on the spring 224 connected to the lower end of the cross block 222. Under compression, spring 224 undergoes elastic deformation and provides corresponding elastic force. This elastic force plays a buffering and stabilizing role in subsequent operations. As cross block 222 is pressed down, movable coupling 227, which is rotatably connected to the end of cross block 222, is subjected to downward thrust. Under the action of this thrust, movable coupling 227 transmits force to segment 213, which is rotatably connected to the other end, thereby pushing segment 213 to move. Since segment 213 is fixedly connected to slide rod 214, the movement of segment 213 will drive slide rod 214 to move together. Slide rod 214 is designed to slide in the groove on side block 212. Driven by segment 213, slide rod 214 moves directionally along the groove on side block 212.

[0031] Finally, the movement of the slide bar 214 causes the clamping rod 215 fixed at its upper end to change position. As the slide bar 214 moves in a directional manner, the clamping rod 215 gradually approaches the photovoltaic panel and finally achieves clamping and assembly of the photovoltaic panel. Through this series of precise and orderly operations, the assembly component 2 of the entire high-efficiency solar photovoltaic panel automatic tracking device can stably and reliably clamp the photovoltaic panel, ensuring that the photovoltaic panel always maintains the correct position and posture under the drive of the automatic tracking component 1, so as to achieve efficient tracking and utilization of solar energy.
