[0040] The side connecting plate, back plate 1, back plate 2, front fixing plate, and top shell are fixedly connected to each other to form an integral frame, which can move vertically as a whole under the action of the lifting cylinder. The side connecting plate, back plate 1, back plate 2, front fixing plate, and top shell all need to be manufactured using profiles with sufficient strength.

[0041] Fixed beams are installed between the side connecting plates. The number and location of the fixed beams are not specifically limited. The purpose of using fixed beams is to enhance the strength of the side connecting plates, increase stability, and also increase the strength and stability of the overall frame.

[0042] The top of the lifting and positioning device is connected to the side connecting plate via a front fixing plate. The front fixing plate is fixedly connected to the linear bearing via a fixing plate. A guide shaft that cooperates with the linear bearing is provided. The guide shaft passes through the front fixing plate. The end of the guide shaft is connected via a connecting plate. A positioning pin is provided at the front end of the guide shaft.

[0043] The front fixing plate needs to have a certain strength and is fixedly connected to the mounting plate of the linear bearing. The front fixing plate also has an opening, the position and size of which match the aforementioned guide shaft. The spacing and size of the positioning pins at the front end of the guide shaft match the positioning holes of the heliostat tube.

[0044] The front fixing plate is fixedly connected to the cylinder, and the piston rod of the cylinder is connected to the connecting plate.

[0045] Here, the front fixed plate, linear bearing, guide shaft, cylinder, and connecting plate form a whole.

[0053] The aforementioned screw jack and motor are fixedly mounted with a support beam on top via a mounting plate, and the support beam must be kept horizontal.

[0054] The installation position of the aforementioned limiting post on the support beam is determined according to the specific circumstances. A stop is set at the top of the limiting post. The main function of the limiting post is to ensure the verticality of the heliostat truss and prevent the heliostat truss from tilting during installation.

[0055] The aforementioned support beam is telescopic at both ends to accommodate the length of the heliostat truss. Support wheels are installed at both ends of the non-telescopic portion of the support beam, allowing the heliostat truss to move laterally on these wheels for easy adjustment during installation. Small positioning posts are placed near the support wheels to prevent tilting and maintain verticality.
