摘要： A tracking device for automatically following a moving light source that is detectable in the presence of ambient light. A carrier platform including one or more radiant energy conversion devices and a sensor array is mounted to an upright support column with a universal joint. Three linear actuators, each having an associated light sensor, are equally angularly spaced about the support column with an upper end connected to the carrier platform with a universal hinge and a lower end connected to a floating base with a spherical hinge. The floating base is free to move axially but not radially of the support column. The actuator of a light sensor receiving a lesser amount of radiant energy retracts, and extends when receiving a greater amount of radiant energy. Each light sensor is moved in a stepwise manner, with a predetermined, limited number of steps used to define light source acquisition for tracking purposes.

摘要： A tracking device for automatically following a moving light source that is detectable in the presence of ambient light. A carrier platform including one or more radiant energy conversion devices and a sensor array is mounted to an upright support column with a universal joint. Three independently-operated, linear actuators are equally angularly spaced about the support column with an upper end connected to the carrier platform with a universal hinge and a lower end connected to a floating base with a spherical hinge. A sensor array carried by the carrier platform includes a primary sensor associated with each actuator. During operation, when a primary sensor is not receiving direct radiant energy, the actuator retracts, and when it is receiving radiant energy directly, the actuator extends. The result is that the platform will directly track the sun across the horizon.
摘要翻译： 跟踪装置，用于自动跟踪在环境光存在时可检测到的移动光源。 包括一个或多个辐射能量转换装置和传感器阵列的载体平台通过万向接头安装到直立支撑柱上。 三个独立操作的线性致动器围绕支撑柱等角度地间隔开，其中上端通过通用铰链连接到承载平台，下端连接到带有球形铰链的浮动基座。 由承载平台承载的传感器阵列包括与每个致动器相关联的主传感器。 在运行期间，当主传感器没有接收到直接辐射能量时，执行器会缩回，当它直接接收辐射能量时，执行器会延伸。 其结果是该平台将直接跟踪地平线上的太阳。
