Abstract

The invention relates to an automatic sun tracking method and device, the method adopted is similar to the working principle of a sundial and comprises the following steps of: vertically arranging a pointer in the centre of a disk, using the shadow projected by sun to measure the position of sun, namely, detecting the position and direction of the shadow on the disk, and enabling the disk to rotate towards a direction opposite to the shadow to make the shadow finally disappear on the disk when the pointer points to the sun and the disk faces the sun. By the simple method, the sun can be automatically tracked. Moreover, an automatic sun tracking device is provided based on the method, wherein an upper, a lower, a left and a right solar panels are arranged at the front face of the disk; since the projected shadow may cause a voltage difference between two panels in bilateral symmetry or in longitudinal symmetry, once the state is detected by a detector, the orientation of a tracker is adjusted to make the shadow on the disk disappear, and at the same time, the symmetrical panels have no voltage difference, a motor stops rotation, and the disk faces sun; and thus, sun tracking is realized. The sun tracking device is simple in principle, skillful in structure, completely unmanned, high in tracking precision, and can be widely used in the development and the utilization of solar energy.

Background technology
Along with the progress of expanding economy, society, traditional non-renewable energy coal, oil, rock gas are deficient day by day, and seeking new forms of energy becomes the urgent problem that current mankind faces.Sun power is a kind of clean reproducible new forms of energy, is subjected to people and more and more favors, and the development and utilization of sun power will be more and more widely, and will become one of important energy source of depending on for existence.Accurate solar tracking is the important prerequisite that guarantees that sun power utilizes, and solar tracking is exactly to utilize sun tracker to make sunlight vertically take in the surface of solar receiver all the time, can bring into play maximum efficient to guarantee it.Aspect Application of Solar Energy, adopt the computer control tracking technique at present both at home and abroad mostly, calculate the angle of the sun according to precision, latitude, sea level elevation, the time of autobiography, revolution and the position of the earth.This mode is too complicated, and the cost height is difficult in maintenance, can not effectively be applied on the mini-plant, is unfavorable for popularizing.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to propose a kind of automatic sun tracking method and device, it measures the position of the sun by the image of sun projection, and make its towards the counter-rotation of shadow till shadow disappears, thereby reach the sun is effectively followed the tracks of.
For achieving the above object, the present invention proposes following automatic sun tracking method: the central vertical a card is provided with a root pointer, the shadow that utilizes the sun to throw is measured the position of the sun, promptly on card, detect the position and the direction of shadow, make the counter-rotation of card, finally shadow is disappeared on card, at this moment the pointed sun towards shadow, card is over against the sun, by this simple method realize to the sun from motion tracking.
According to automatic sun tracking method set forth above, the invention provides a kind of automatic sun tracking device, similarly device can be released from this device.
Its first half comprises a card, central vertical in card is provided with a root pointer, card is made up of four solar panels up and down, about two solar panel areas bigger, two solar panel areas are less and be arranged in the middle of the card up and down, the diameter of its width and pointer is suitable, about two solar panel areas identical, two solar panel areas are identical up and down, to guarantee under the sun fully shines, about two solar array voltages identical, two solar array voltages are identical up and down.
Its latter half comprises two arm hands, support, swivel adapter head and bases, two arm hands are vertically set on the card back side, hold card, two arms are all parallel with the vertical plane of middle two solar panels up and down of card, to guarantee on shadow drops on up and down solar panel, when card was rotated up and down, shadow remained at up and down two solar panels on one of them.
The inboard of two arm hands links to each other with the support of centre by bearing respectively, makes card 180 ° of rotations on vertical plane up and down.
Support is connected with base by swivel adapter head, make card can about 360 ° of rotations on surface level, described all rotation works are finished by motor.
Base inside comprises left and right sides voltage-level detector, voltage-level detector, tracking control unit and accumulator up and down, about two solar panels link to each other with left and right sides voltage-level detector, two solar panels link to each other with voltage-level detector up and down up and down.
Left and right sides voltage-level detector all links to each other with tracking control unit with voltage-level detector up and down.
Solar panel, left and right sides solar panel also link to each other with accumulator up and down, are responsible for charging a battery, and guarantee that accumulator has sufficient electric weight, for package unit work provides power supply.
Shadow is fallen left and right sides solar panel on one of them the time, the voltage difference that left and right sides solar panel produces, left and right sides voltage-level detector is with this state notifying tracking control unit, tracking control unit sends instruction and makes card left-right rotation on surface level, make shadow fall up and down solar panel on one of them, the voltage difference that produces of solar panel up and down, voltage-level detector is with this state notifying tracking control unit up and down, tracking control unit sends instruction makes card rotate counter-rotation towards shadow up and down on vertical plane, so that shadow diminishes gradually up to till disappearing on the card.
When the cloudy day, card remains on the last position that the sun occurs of aiming at.
At post sunset, tracking control unit resets card, makes card be in position parallel to the ground, conveniently once more the sun is carried out tracking work.
The present invention is work like this: at first card is in the initial position on parallel ground, this position helps forming shadow most, shine upon card, pointer forms shadow on card, when two solar panels are on one of them about shadow drops on, left and right sides voltage-level detector detects this state, with the result notification tracking control unit, tracking control unit sends instruction and makes the card left-right rotation, make shadow fall up and down solar panel on one of them, the voltage difference that produces of solar panel up and down, voltage-level detector is with this state notifying tracking control unit up and down, and tracking control unit sends instruction makes card rotate the size of adjusting shadow towards the counter-rotation of shadow up and down, it is diminished gradually up to till disappearing on the card, this is that pointer points to the sun, and card is over against the sun, thus realize to the sun from motion tracking.When the cloudy day, card remains on the last position that the sun occurs of aiming at.At post sunset, tracking control unit resets card, makes card be in position parallel to the ground, conveniently once more the sun is carried out tracking work.
The invention has the beneficial effects as follows, thoroughly solve the problem of solar tracking, and principle is ingenious, simple in structure, unmanned is easy to safeguard fully, the precision height can effectively be followed the tracks of the sun, can be widely used on development and utilization, spacecraft, military affairs and the civilian installation of sun power.
