摘要:
A sun-tracking device equipped with a cam turntable (2) and a control method for the device. The sun-tracking device comprises a support mechanism for mounting a photovoltaic assembly (1), and an azimuth driving device, which is a cam turntable (2), fixed on the support mechanism for adjusting the azimuth thereof. The sun-tracking device adjusts the azimuth of the support mechanism for mounting the photovoltaic assembly (1) by utilizing the cam turntable (2) as the azimuth driving device, so that harmful incoming impact loads on the sun-tracking device as a whole are transferred into friction forces which are then transferred and eliminated, therefore it is advantageous in avoiding damages to subsequent driving devices due to the excessively large impact loads, especially in protecting the precision of a control worm gear (2-12) from being affected, which in turn extends the service life of the sun-tracking device as a whole. The device has high safety, large load capacity, and the function of automatic gap adjustment.

A system for moving an object in one axis that creates highly dispersed but precisely controlled mechanical force to support, manipulate, and maintain an object, tool or application in precise alignment or orientation with respect to a stationary or moving target is disclosed. The system includes one or more fluid containers within a cylindrical enclosure or drum, and a shaft running through longitudinal axis of the drum. The shaft is coupled to the drum by rotating assemblies so that the drum may rotate around the shaft or the draft may rotate inside the drum. The fluid inflatable containers are arranged in a inside the drum around the shaft so that each container exerts expansive force between a vane fixed to the drum and a vane fixed to the shaft. A volume of the fluid may be placed in the one or more fluid containers by control systems. By changing the volume of fluid in the one or more containers, forces are exerted on the vanes and the object is moved.

摘要:
This invention deals with the general topic of adaptive electronic redirection of sunlight by means of an active matrix of transistors, electrodes, and optical elements. The scale of the system may range from small portable systems to large-scale arrays for industrial processes such as solar power plants used for the production of environmentally benign energy. It may be integrated directly into buildings and other platforms without the need for heliostats to hold photovoltaic cells or other energy conversion devices above the building or other host platform. It makes solar energy harvesting systems practical by allowing the separation of tracking, collection, concentration, aggregation, distribution, and energy conversion. This novel system is unique and distinct from other sun tracking and energy conversion systems because it allows adaptive solid-state electronics to be used in place of conventional mechanical tracking heliostats. Furthermore, it is highly precise and therefore allows very high levels of concentration to be achieved in a dynamic environment. It is also cost effective because it leverages integrated opto-electronics to perform sun tracking.

A shape-memory actuator device to impart to a movable organ a sun-tracking movement, comprising a shape-memory element (9) that is progressively activated during the day. The progressive activation is obtained through optical means including an aligned series of convergent lenses (10) that cause beams of light to converge onto increasing portions of the shape-memory element (9) during the day, with the movement of the sun, so as to cause a progressive variation of one dimension of the shape-memory element that is transmitted to the driven organ.

Prior art sun-following devices exist which have an energy-storing counterweight. While this counterweight makes operation of the drive very economical, it is expensive to manufacture. The invention calls for two sun-following devices to be linked to each other in such a way that one is used as an energy-storing counterweight for the other. This gives a system with an extremely low energy consumption which leads to significant savings with large-scale systems.
摘要:
A solar collector device characterised in that it has a pyramid-shaped structure with three or more sides (1, 2, 3) and a base (4). The side (1) on which various solar energy collecting means are mounted is the only one used as a solar panel, and the remaining sides (2, 3) are used only to shield the assembly from wind. The device is also provided with two different tracking systems, i.e. a first, azimuthal system for rotating the pyramidal structure about a vertical axis (V) to keep said side (1) facing the sun, and a second, elevation system for causing rotation about a horizontal axis (H) to keep said side (1) at a suitable angle to the solar radiation.
