Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic power generation, and in particular to a stacked solar tracking photovoltaic power generation tower. Background Technology

[0002] The photovoltaic panel has the highest power generation efficiency when sunlight shines perpendicularly onto its surface. The smaller the angle between the direction of sunlight and the surface of the photovoltaic panel, the lower the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic panel.

[0003] Traditional small-scale photovoltaic power stations typically fix photovoltaic panels to their base, with a fixed angle that cannot be adjusted. Due to the sun's rising and setting throughout the day, the angle between the direction of sunlight hitting the photovoltaic panel and the fixed photovoltaic panel surface is very small or even parallel at times. In other words, under conventional photovoltaic panel installation methods, the power generation of the photovoltaic panels is very low or even zero during some time of the day.

[0004] There is currently no corresponding solution to the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a stacked solar-tracking photovoltaic power generation tower that adjusts the angle of the photovoltaic panel according to the changing position of the sun throughout the day, so that sunlight always shines perpendicularly on the photovoltaic panel.

[0006] The equipment includes a photovoltaic tower fixing rod, on which a photovoltaic tower movable rod is rotatably mounted via a first rotating mechanism; A main support for photovoltaic panels is rotatably mounted on the movable pole of the photovoltaic tower via a second rotating mechanism, and the rotation directions of the second rotating mechanism and the first rotating mechanism are perpendicular to each other. A photovoltaic panel is installed on the main support of the photovoltaic panel.

[0007] The effect achieved is that, based on the perpendicular rotation directions of the first and second rotating mechanisms, the main support of the photovoltaic panel can rotate horizontally and swing vertically, even if the photovoltaic panel is always facing the direct direction of the sun.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: This utility model solves a number of technical problems existing in the assembly of photovoltaic panels in the prior art, specifically: 1. Improve the power generation efficiency of photovoltaic panels of the same area under the same external conditions.

[0009] 2. The angle is adjustable, which is conducive to airflow, reduces the overall wind load, makes the whole system safer, and improves the cooling of the photovoltaic panels.

[0010] 3. The installation location is flexible and occupies a small area. It can be installed anywhere on the ground, on building roofs, next to buildings, around green belts, around factories, along roadsides, in fields, etc. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0012] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 The present invention provides a stacked solar-tracking photovoltaic power generation tower, which includes a photovoltaic tower fixing rod 2 and a photovoltaic tower movable rod 3 rotatably mounted on the photovoltaic tower fixing rod 2 via a first rotating mechanism 7. A photovoltaic panel main support 4 is rotatably mounted on the photovoltaic tower movable rod 3 via a second rotating mechanism 8, and the rotation directions of the second rotating mechanism 8 and the first rotating mechanism 7 are perpendicular to each other. A photovoltaic panel 6 is installed on the main support 4 of the photovoltaic panel.

[0013] The effect achieved is that, based on the perpendicular rotation direction of the first rotating mechanism 7 and the second rotating mechanism 8, the main support 4 of the photovoltaic panel can rotate horizontally and swing vertically, so that the photovoltaic panel 6 always faces the direct direction of the sun.

[0014] In Example 1, a pile foundation 1 is provided on the bottom surface of the photovoltaic tower fixing rod 2, and the photovoltaic tower fixing rod 2 is fixedly connected to the pile foundation 1.

[0015] Preferably, the photovoltaic tower fixing rod 2 is integrally connected to the pile foundation 1 by welding or flange connection.

[0016] The effect achieved in this way is based on the stable placement of equipment on pile foundation 1.

[0017] In Example 2, the first rotating mechanism 7 is a rotary mechanism driven by a power mechanism.

[0018] The power mechanism mentioned here can be an existing power machinery such as an electric motor or a hydraulic motor; the rotary mechanism refers to the existing rotary gear disk, worm gear, etc., driven by an electric motor, which is commonly used in the transmission mechanism of horizontal rotating machinery. Its specific connection form will not be described here.

[0019] The effect achieved is that the fixed pole 2 and the movable pole 3 of the photovoltaic tower rotate horizontally.

[0020] In Example 3, the second rotating mechanism 8 is configured as follows: The main support frame 4 of the photovoltaic panel is hinged to the movable rod 3 of the photovoltaic tower; A telescopic rod 81 is also provided between the photovoltaic tower movable rod 3 and the photovoltaic panel main support 4.

[0021] Preferably, the telescopic rod 81 is a hydraulic cylinder or an electric actuator.

[0022] The effect achieved in this way is based on the extension and retraction of the telescopic rod 81, which drives the main photovoltaic panel support 4 to rotate at a certain angle, thereby achieving the effect of facing the sunlight.

[0023] Furthermore, a safety rope is also installed between the photovoltaic tower movable pole 3 and the photovoltaic panel main support 4.

[0024] The purpose of this is to prevent the two from falling off, which could cause the equipment to fall and injure people, and to improve the safety of equipment operation.

[0025] Furthermore, the main photovoltaic panel support 4 is a frame structure, with multiple photovoltaic panel assembly supports 5 arranged on its side. The photovoltaic panel assembly supports 5 are arranged in a uniform array, and multiple photovoltaic panels 6 are respectively fixedly mounted on the photovoltaic panel assembly supports 5.

[0026] The effect achieved by this is that the centralized assembly of photovoltaic panels 6 improves the overall power generation efficiency of the equipment.

[0027] Furthermore, a safety rope is also provided between the photovoltaic panel 6 and the main photovoltaic panel support 4.

[0028] The purpose of this is to prevent the two from falling off, which could cause the equipment to fall and injure people, and to improve the safety of equipment operation.

[0029] Furthermore, the main photovoltaic panel support 4 is hinged to the movable rod 3 of the photovoltaic tower; the photovoltaic panel assembly support 5 is hinged to the main photovoltaic panel support 4. A rotating connecting rod 10 is fixedly installed on the photovoltaic panel assembly bracket 5, and a drive rod 11 is hinged between the rotating connecting rods 10 on the same side of the photovoltaic panel main bracket 4. A curved rod 9 is hinged between the drive main rod 11 and the photovoltaic tower movable rod 3.

[0030] Preferably, a fixed assembly such as a connecting rod or crankshaft is fixedly installed on the movable rod 3 of the photovoltaic tower, and the drive rod 11 is hinged to the fixed assembly.

[0031] In other words, as per the instruction manual Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when the second rotating mechanism 8, i.e. the telescopic rod 81, is activated to drive the photovoltaic panel main support 4 to rotate, the photovoltaic panel assembly support 5 rotates synchronously based on its configuration; that is, the photovoltaic panel rotates synchronously based on the rotation of its photovoltaic panel assembly support, thereby achieving the purpose of the photovoltaic panel 6 rotating upward and unfolding in coordination when the photovoltaic panel main support 4 rotates upward, so as to achieve the purpose of the photovoltaic panel facing the sun; and based on the execution of the above synchronous rotation action, it avoids the photovoltaic panels from blocking each other, fully receiving sunlight, and at the same time, it also prevents the photovoltaic panel main support from rotating too much.

[0032] Preferably, the height of the photovoltaic tower fixing rod 2 is not less than 5m.

[0033] This achieves the effect of facilitating the installation of equipment on both sides of the road, avoiding obstruction of vehicle traffic.

[0034] In Example 6, the first rotating mechanism 7 and the second rotating mechanism 8 are signal-connected to the control unit, and the control unit is signal-connected to the light sensor, wind speed and direction sensor, rain sensor and gyroscope.

[0035] Preferably, the control unit is one of a PLC, an MCU, or a microcomputer.
