Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a solar energy device, and more particularly to an automatic solar energy tracking system that does not require the use of special chips or sensors, but can track the sun by utilizing the Earth's revolution around the sun and the Earth's own rotation, thereby reducing manufacturing and maintenance costs. Prior Technology

[0002] Note that the use of energy-saving and carbon-free power generation or heating equipment is a current trend in industry. Solar power or solar heating devices are known to be devices that concentrate sunlight to convert it into electricity or heat. However, these devices are often too expensive or have low heating efficiency, which reduces users' willingness to use them. Furthermore, because areas with sufficient sunlight are relatively remote, there is a high demand for devices that can convert solar energy into electricity or heat.

[0003] Another conventional solar panel support device utilizes two sets of drive shafts with gears on their end edges to rotate in one direction, and further requires two additional sets of drive shafts with gears on their end edges to rotate in the other direction. The driving of these two drive shafts is mainly handled by a control chip for sun tracking detection and control. This control chip requires complex software programming and testing to enable the solar panel to rotate according to the sun's trajectory. Therefore, the installation cost of this solar panel support device is high. Furthermore, when the solar panel support device needs maintenance, it is necessary to test or replace the control chip, and even redesign the control chip according to the sun's trajectory. Therefore, the maintenance of this solar panel support device must be performed by the original manufacturer, resulting in high maintenance costs.

At the bottom, the self-rotating bearing 44 is disposed opposite to the two sides of the self-rotating base plate assembly 42 and the two sides of the bottom of the self-rotating disk 41, and the self-rotating bearing 44 supports the self-rotating disk 41.

[0027] Furthermore, the self-rotating component 4 is provided with a self-rotating limiting ring cable 423 at the position of the side limiting fixing bolt 421.

[0030] Furthermore, the components in the automatic control sun-tracking system 1 of the solar energy device of the present invention are preferably made of metal to have appropriate rigidity to support solar energy-related components above them. Depending on the required rigidity, some components may be made of materials such as aluminum, while others may be made of materials such as steel.

[0031] Furthermore, the automatic solar tracking system 1 of the present invention may further include a rain detection unit and a wind speed detection unit (not shown in the figures). The rain detection unit can adjust the angle of the solar elements during rain. For example, when the solar elements are concentrators or solar panels 72, their area and angle can be utilized to collect rainwater. The wind speed detection unit can adjust the angle of the solar module 7 when the wind speed is too high, thereby reducing the structural stress caused by excessive wind and preventing damage. Additionally, a cleaning spray system can be installed around the automatic solar tracking system 1 or the solar module 7 for users to regularly clean and maintain cleanliness and solar energy collection efficiency.

[0032] Please refer to the aforementioned accompanying drawings and Figures 5 and 6, which are schematic diagrams and block diagrams illustrating the implementation of the automatic solar tracking system of the present invention. The automatic solar tracking system 1 is fixedly installed at a predetermined location, such as on the ground or a platform, where it can be exposed to sunlight. The voltage of the power supply component 6 is stepped down by the revolution buck regulator 61. In this embodiment, the power supply component 6 provides 12V, which is then stepped down to 5V by the revolution buck regulator 61 and supplied to the revolution timer 35. The revolution timer 35 can then supply the received 5V voltage to the revolution forward / reverse switch 351 according to a set time. The revolution forward / reverse switch 351 activates the revolution drive motor 25. The set time is mainly based on the Earth's revolution speed. In this embodiment, the revolution timer 35 is set to [time missing] every day. Power is supplied to the orbital forward / reverse switch 351 at 10:00 and de-energized at 10:10 on the same day. In this embodiment, the orbital forward / reverse switch 351 has been switched from the first orbital actuator 331 to the CW position. Therefore, when the orbital forward / reverse switch 351 starts the orbital drive motor 25, the orbital drive motor 25 drives the orbital drive shaft 23 and the orbital drive gear 231. When the orbital drive gear 231 rotates, it can drive the orbital tooth edge 211 of the orbital disk 21 through meshing, so that the orbital disk 21 rotates on the orbital base 22. At the same time, the orbital disk 21 rotates on the orbital base 22, and the orbital bearing 24 is attached to both sides of the bottom of the orbital disk 21. The orbital bearing 24 assists the orbital disk 21 in rotating, and the solar panel 7 on the self-rotating component 4 also changes its angle accordingly.

[0033] When the revolution timer 35 starts the revolution drive motor 25 for 10 minutes every day, after the revolution drive motor 25 has been working for 182.5 days, the revolution disk 21 will have rotated 47 degrees. At this time, the second positioning pin 32 will touch the second contact switch 34, and the second contact switch 34 will transmit the 12V voltage from the power supply component 6 to the second revolution actuator 341. The second revolution actuator 341 will then be electromagnetically activated and strike the revolution disk. Switch 351 switches the revolution forward / reverse switch 351 to CCW. The revolution timer 35 is also powered on from 10:00 AM to 10:10 AM each day, causing the revolution drive motor 25 to drive the revolution drive shaft 23 and the revolution drive gear 231. When the revolution drive gear 231 rotates, it can drive the revolution teeth 211 of the revolution disk 21 through meshing, thus causing the revolution disk to rotate. The disk 21 rotates on the orbital base 22. With the orbital timer 35 starting the orbital drive motor 25 for 10 minutes every day, after the orbital drive motor 25 has been working for 182.5 days, the orbital disk 21 will rotate 47 degrees. At this time, the first positioning pin 31 will touch the first contact switch 33, and the first contact switch 33 will transmit the 12V voltage of the power supply component 6 to the first orbital actuator. The first orbital actuator 331 will then be electromagnetically activated and strike the orbital forward / reverse switch 351, causing the orbital forward / reverse switch 351 to switch to CW. In this way, the solar device automatic control sun-tracking system 1 can automatically control the orbital rotation component 3 and the solar component 7 to track the sun through the orbital control component 4. This can save the setup cost of conventional control chips that require complex software programming for sun tracking, thereby reducing manufacturing and maintenance costs.

[0034] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the solar energy device automatic control sun-tracking system 1 is fixedly installed at a predetermined location, such as on the ground or a platform, where it can be exposed to sunlight. The voltage of the power supply component 6 is stepped down by the self-rotating buck regulator 62. In this embodiment, the power supply component 6 provides a 12V voltage, which is then stepped down to 5V by the self-rotating buck regulator 62 and supplied to the self-rotating timer 53. The self-rotating power supply timer 53 can then supply the received 5V voltage to the self-rotating forward / reverse switch 531 according to the set time. The self-rotating forward / reverse switch 531 starts the self-rotating drive motor 47. The set time is mainly set according to the rotation speed of the Earth. In this embodiment, the self-rotating timer 53 is set to start powering on the self-rotating forward / reverse switch 531 at 07:03 every day, stop powering on at 16:58, and start powering on the self-rotating forward / reverse switch 531 at 17:03, and at 21:00... Power is cut off at 01:58 and power is supplied to the self-rotation forward / reverse switch 531 at 01:58, and power is cut off at 06:58. In this embodiment, the self-rotation forward / reverse switch 531 has been switched from the second self-rotation actuator 52 to the CW position. Therefore, when the self-rotation forward / reverse switch 531 starts the self-rotation drive motor 47, the self-rotation drive motor 47 drives the self-rotation drive shaft 43 and the self-rotation drive gear 431. When the self-rotation drive gear 431 rotates, it can drive the self-rotation tooth edge 411 of the self-rotation disk 41 through meshing, so that the self-rotation disk 41 rotates on the self-rotation base plate assembly 42. At the same time that the self-rotation disk 41 rotates on the self-rotation base plate assembly 42, the self-rotation bearing 43 is attached to both sides of the bottom of the self-rotation disk 41. The self-rotation bearing 43 assists the self-rotation disk 41 in rotating, and the solar panel 7 on the self-rotation rotation assembly 4 also changes angle accordingly.

[0035] In this embodiment, the first rotation actuation timer 51 is set to be energized to the first rotation actuator 511 at 7:00 AM every day and de-energized at 7:01 AM. The second rotation actuation timer 52 is set to be energized to the second rotation actuator 521 at 5:00 PM every day and de-energized at 5:01 PM. Therefore, when the second rotation actuation timer 52 is energized at 5:00 PM, it starts the second rotation actuator 521. The second rotation actuator 521 then electromagnetically actuates and strikes the rotation forward / reverse switch 531, causing the switch to CCW. Then, when the set time is reached, the rotation timer 531 energizes the rotation forward / reverse switch 531, starting the rotation drive motor 47. The rotation drive motor 47 drives the rotation drive shaft 43 and the... The rotation drive gear 431 rotates, and when the rotation drive gear 431 rotates, it can drive the revolution tooth edge 411 of the rotation disk 41 through meshing, so that the rotation disk 41 rotates on the rotation base plate assembly 42. Similarly, when the first rotation actuation timer 51 is 7:00, the first rotation actuation timer 51 is powered on to start the first rotation actuator 511. The first rotation actuator 511 will then be electromagnetically activated and strike the rotation forward and reverse switch 531, so that the rotation forward and reverse switch 531 is switched to CW. The solar device automatic control sun tracking system 1 can automatically control the rotation rotation component 3 and the solar component 7 to perform rotation sun tracking through the rotation control component 4. This can save the setup cost of conventional control chips that require complex software programming for sun tracking, thereby reducing the production and maintenance costs.

[0036] Furthermore, the rotation timer 53 is set to start powering on the rotation forward / reverse switch 531 at 07:03 and stop powering on at 16:58, and to start powering on the rotation forward / reverse switch 531 at 17:03 and stop powering on at 21:58, and to start powering on the rotation forward / reverse switch 531 at 01:58 and stop powering on at 06:58. This regularity means that within a 24-hour day, the solar energy device automatically controls the sun-tracking system 1 to perform rotational sun-tracking for 9 hours and 55 minutes, while the remaining 14 hours and 5 minutes require the rotation drive motor 47 to reverse and rest. Therefore, its first rotation actuator 511 actuates at 7:00 and switches the rotation forward / reverse switch 531 to the CCW position. The rotation drive motor 47 then operates according to the timer 53 set by the rotation timer 53, being powered on from 07:03 to 16:58, for a total of 9 hours and 55 minutes. The 16:58 time setting allows the rotation drive motor 47 time to stop, preventing damage caused by sudden forward / reverse rotation. Then, its second rotation actuator 521 actuates at 17:00 and switches the rotation forward / reverse switch 531 to the CW position. The self-rotating motor 47 operates according to the set time of the rotation timer 53, energizing from 17:03 to 21:58, providing power for 4 hours and 55 minutes. Then, the self-rotating motor 47 stops operating for 4 hours until the set time of the rotation timer 53 reaches 01:58. At this time, the self-rotating motor 47 operates again according to the set time of the rotation timer 53, energizing from 01:58 to 06:58. The 06:58 time setting allows the self-rotating motor 47 time to stop, preventing damage caused by sudden forward and reverse rotation. During this time, the rotating disc 41 also... Reversing to the starting position, the self-rotating drive motor 47 then operates according to the set time of the self-rotating timer 53, energizing from 07:03 to 16:58, energizing the self-rotating drive motor 47 for 9 hours and 55 minutes. And so on. The solar device automatic control sun-tracking system 1 can automatically control the self-rotating rotating component 4 and the solar component 7 to perform sun-tracking through the self-rotating control component 5. This eliminates the setup cost of conventional sun-tracking systems that require complex software programming control chips, thereby reducing manufacturing and maintenance costs.

[0037] Furthermore, the power supply component 6 can be charged externally or by solar energy, while the revolution control component 3 and the rotation control component 5 can be installed in the control box. The revolution turntable 21 can be equipped with a revolution correction mark, which is a sticker with the date of the whole year engraved on it. The position of the scale on that day is the tilt angle of the sun's revolution, so that the revolution turntable 21 is set or controlled to rotate based on the date. The rotation turntable 41 is also equipped with a rotation correction mark, which is a sticker with the time engraved on it. The position of the scale at that time is the Earth's rotation angle.
