DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0023] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The present application provides the following technical solutions:

[0024] The multi-axis linkage heliostat tracking device, comprising a heliostat body 1, the bottom end of the heliostat body 1 is fixedly connected with a support frame 2, and the bottom end of the support frame 2 is fixedly connected with a control shaft 3 on the opposite side, a connecting shaft 4 is movably connected outside the center position of the control shaft 3 through a bearing, a connecting strip 5 is movably connected to the bottom end of the connecting shaft 4, and the bottom end of the connecting strip 5 is fixedly connected with a fixed block 6, a multi-axis tracking mechanism 7 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the fixed block 6, grooves 8 are formed in both ends of the connecting shaft 4, and a fine adjustment limiting mechanism 9 is movably connected in the grooves 8.

[0025] AsFigure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the multi-axis tracking mechanism 7 includes a drive shaft 701, a servo motor 702, transmission wheels 703, and a transmission belt 704. The transmission wheels 703 are fixedly connected to both ends of the drive shaft 701, and the output end of the servo motor 702 is fixedly connected to one end of the drive shaft 701 via a coupling. Above each of the transmission wheels 703 connected to both ends of the drive shaft 701, another transmission wheel 703 is provided, and the transmission wheels 703 on the same side are connected by the transmission belt 704. The multi-axis tracking mechanism 7 also includes a guide wheel 705, a connecting frame 706, and a fixed shaft 707. The guide wheel 705 has two parallel... Located inside the transmission belt 704, the guide wheel 705 is close to the inner wall of the transmission belt 704. The connecting frame 706 is V-shaped and its top is movably connected to the axis of the guide wheel 705 through a rotating shaft. The bottom end of the fixed shaft 707 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the opposite side of the connecting frame 706. The top end of the fixed shaft 707 is movably connected to the outside of the control shaft 3 through a collar. The connecting strip 5 passes through the middle position of the drive shaft 701, and the connection of the drive shaft 701 and the connecting strip 5 is movably connected through a bearing. The transmission wheel 703 located directly above the drive shaft 701 is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting shaft 4.

[0026] By activating the servo motor 702, the drive shaft 701 is rotated. Since the transmission wheel 703 is connected by the transmission bar, the drive shaft 701 drives all the drive wheels to rotate in the same direction. Then, the control shaft 3 follows the trajectory of the transmission wheel 703 and drives the support frame 2 to tilt to one side. At this time, the receiving angle of the heliostat body 1 changes. Secondly, when the connecting shaft 4 tilts and presses up, it will drive the guide wheel 705 to push the transmission belt 704 to the tilted side. This helps to ensure that the equipment can quickly perform tracking adjustments and ensure accurate tracking angle. Furthermore, it avoids affecting the transmission effect of the transmission belt 704 when making fine adjustments.

The middle part of the pull rope 902 is located inside the connecting hole 10. The end of the hydraulic rod 901 away from the pull rope 902 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixing block 6.

[0028] When the two hydraulic rods 901 are controlled to approach the tilting end of the heliostat, one of the hydraulic rods 901 is retracted, and the other is extended, at this time, the pull rope 902 is pulled to slide through the hub of the guide wheel 903, and the connecting shaft 4 is tilted and pressed to make the rear end of the heliostat abut against the heliostat to make fine adjustment of the tilting angle, thereby facilitating the heliostat to perform sunlight tracking, ensuring that the tracking angle is accurate, and secondly, limiting the angle of the heliostat to prevent the heliostat from driving the multi-axis tracking mechanism 7 to rebound due to its own gravity.

[0029] The working principle of the utility model is as follows:

[0030] When in use, the servo motor 702 is started to drive the driving shaft 701 to rotate, since the transmission wheel 703 is connected through the transmission bar, at this time, the driving shaft 701 drives all the driving wheels to rotate in the same direction, then the control shaft 3 follows the track of the transmission wheel 703 to drive the support frame 2 to tilt to one side, at this time, the receiving angle of the heliostat body 1 changes, and the tracking angle adjustment is completed, then the two hydraulic rods 901 are controlled to approach the tilting end of the heliostat, one of the hydraulic rods 901 is retracted, and the other is extended, at this time, the pull rope 902 is pulled to slide through the hub of the guide wheel 903, and the connecting shaft 4 is tilted and pressed to make the rear end of the heliostat abut against the heliostat to make fine adjustment of the tilting angle, at this time, the guide wheel 705 pushes the transmission belt 704 to one side, thereby facilitating the heliostat to perform sunlight tracking, ensuring that the tracking angle is accurate, and secondly, limiting the angle of the heliostat to prevent the heliostat from driving the multi-axis tracking mechanism 7 to rebound due to its own gravity.
