Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model discloses a speed reducer structure, belonging to the field of photovoltaic equipment technology, specifically relating to a photovoltaic panel tracking system. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaic tracking systems can automatically adjust the angle and orientation of solar panels based on the sun's position and light intensity, maximizing the power generation efficiency of a photovoltaic power station. Compared to stationary photovoltaic power stations, photovoltaic tracking systems can improve power generation efficiency by more than 10%, especially under low-light conditions.

[0003] Photovoltaic tracking systems can monitor the power generation of photovoltaic power plants in real time and make adjustments as needed, thereby improving the operational reliability of photovoltaic power plants. These systems can automatically detect faults and abnormal conditions in photovoltaic power plants, promptly issue alarms, and carry out repairs, preventing power plant outages and losses caused by malfunctions.

[0004] In conclusion, photovoltaic (PV) tracking systems play a crucial role in the power generation efficiency, energy costs, lifespan, and operational reliability of PV power plants. With the continuous development and improvement of PV technology, the application prospects of PV tracking systems will become increasingly broad.

[0005] Traditional photovoltaic tracking systems mostly use a single-axis tracking method, which can only rotate around a horizontal or vertical axis. This method is suitable for low- and mid-latitude regions, but its power generation efficiency will be greatly reduced in high-altitude and high-latitude regions. Utility Model Content

[0024] A photovoltaic panel tracking system includes: a motor 1, a rotary component 2, a first drive component 3, a second drive component 4, and a mounting plate 5.

The first drive assembly 3 and the second drive assembly 4 are symmetrically installed on the mounting plate 5 and located on both sides of the rotary assembly 2 and connected to the rotary assembly 2. The motor 1 is fixedly installed on the rotary assembly 2 and drives the rotary assembly 2 to rotate.

[0026] In one embodiment, such as Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the rotary assembly 2 includes: a housing 6, fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 5; a worm gear 7, located inside the housing 6, with one end connected to the shaft of the motor 1 via a coupling 8, and the other end rotatably mounted on one side of the housing 6; a worm wheel 9, located inside the housing 6 and meshing with the worm gear 7; end caps 10, fixedly mounted on both ends of the housing 6; bushings 11, sleeved inside the worm wheel 9 and rotatably mounted on the end caps 10 via ball bearings 12 at both ends; a fixed cover 13, fixedly mounted on the end caps 10 by bolts; and a drive shaft 14, sleeved on the bushings 11 and extending to the outside at both ends, mounted on the mounting plate 5 via bearing seats 15.

[0027] In one embodiment, such as Figures 2 to 3 As shown, a friction ring 16 is sleeved between the fixed cover 13 and the drive shaft.

[0028] In one embodiment, such as Figures 2 to 3 As shown, a sealing ring 17 is provided between the housing 6 and the end cover 10.

[0029] In one embodiment, such as Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the first drive assembly 3 includes: a first fixed frame 18, which is vertically fixedly installed on one end of the mounting plate 5; a first main driven gear 19, which is sleeved on one end of the drive shaft 14; a first driven shaft 20, which is installed on the first fixed frame 18 through a bearing seat 15; and a first auxiliary driven gear 21, which is sleeved on one end of the first driven shaft 20 and meshes with the first main driven gear 19.

The first main driven gear 19 and the second main driven gear 23 then mesh with the first secondary driven gear 21 and the second secondary driven gear 25 respectively, thereby driving the first driven shaft 20 and the second driven shaft 24 to rotate, which in turn drives the photovoltaic panel above them to rotate, thus achieving the adjustment work.
