SOLAR CONCENTRATOR PHOTOELECTRIC APPARATUS Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC H01L31/00 F24J2/42 F24J2/54 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: solar concentrator photoelectric apparatus has concentrator photoelectric modules (2) mounted on a mechanical system, azimuthal and zenithal drives located in an electromechanical box and a system for alignment of the concentrator photoelectric modules (2) towards the sun with a solar sensor. The mechanical system is formed by a base frame (3) and at least two suspended frames (4). The base frame (3) is adapted to turn about the vertical axis on a base ring (1) through wheels (5). Two wheels (5) are provided with sections of a roller chain which are engaged with toothed gears mounted on faces of two horizontal oppositely rotating output shafts (8) of the bevel gear speed reducer of the azimuthal electric drive mounted on the base frame (3). Each suspended frame (4) with concentrator photoelectric modules (2) is mounted to a horizontal pipe which is adapted to rotate on supports mounted to the base frame (3) and is pivotally connected by levers and bars to neighbouring suspended frames (4). One of the suspended frames (4) is provided with two vertical circular sectors separated on sides, circular surfaces of said sectors being attached to sections of the roller chain which are engaged with the toothed gears mounted on the horizontal shaft of the reducer of the zenithal electric drive mounted on the base frame (3). The distance L between the horizontal pipes of neighbouring suspended frames (4) satisfies a certain relationship.

EFFECT: high unit power of the photoelectric apparatus while keeping a sufficiently simple design.
