AUTOMATIC DRIVE FOR SOLAR CONCENTRATOR FOR MAINTAINING REFLECTED SOLAR SPOT IN FIXED AREA Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC F24J2/54 

FIELD: instrument making.

SUBSTANCE: automatic drive of solar concentrator to maintain reflected solar spot in a fixed zone is designed to direct sun tracking in azimuthal direction, thus providing stabilisation of spot for 12 hours of day time and return to initial state in morning. Time pulses from time sensor 1 are transmitted to “start-stop” signal unit 2, triggering electric motor 6 through electric motor 4 control unit. Cam drive 16, through “stop” signal sensor 3, outputs “stop” signal to “start-stop” signal unit 2. Nut 8 moves on shaft with thread 7 and moves rack 9 via cables 10 and 11 rotates sector 90° 12 and solar concentrator 13.

EFFECT: invention ensures independent, multiple-day Sun tracking.
