Abstract

A frame body (3) is suspended at multiple positions by wires (15) from a support section (11) formed at the center of the frame body (3).  Although simple in structure, the frame body (3) does not deflect.  Because the frame body (3) has the simple structure, the weight of the entire device is reduced.  Further, tension is applied to multiple positions of the frame body (3) from below by wires (15), and this prevents the frame body (3) from deflecting even if wind blows against a mirror structure (5).

Description

吊り型太陽追尾集光装置Suspended solar tracking concentrator
 本発明は太陽追尾集光装置に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a solar tracking condensing device.
 複数の反射ミラーを1つの凹面鏡を形成するようにフレーム体に取付けてミラー構成体を形成し、そのミラー構成体を凹面鏡の光軸が常に太陽を向くように追尾制御し、その光軸上の焦点にスターリングエンジンや蒸気エンジン等を支持している。そして、日本国特許公開公報特開平9-280664号に例示されるように、太陽光を焦点位置にあるスターリングエンジン等に集光して、その太陽熱の利用を図るようにした太陽追尾集光装置が知られている。 A plurality of reflecting mirrors are attached to a frame body so as to form a concave mirror, and a mirror structure is formed. The mirror structure is controlled so that the optical axis of the concave mirror always faces the sun. Supports Stirling engine, steam engine, etc. in focus. And, as exemplified in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-280664, a solar tracking condensing device that condenses sunlight on a Stirling engine or the like at the focal position and uses the solar heat. It has been known.
 この種の太陽追尾集光装置の場合は、フレーム体が撓むと、凹面鏡を構成する反射ミラーの向きが微妙に狂い、太陽光を正確に焦点位置へ集光できなくなるおそれがあるため、フレーム体をトラス構造等に形成して、全体を剛性を高める必要がある。 In the case of this type of sun tracking condensing device, if the frame body is bent, the direction of the reflecting mirrors constituting the concave mirror may be slightly out of order, and sunlight may not be collected accurately at the focal position. It is necessary to form a truss structure or the like to increase the overall rigidity.
 しかしながら、このような従来の技術にあっては、フレーム体の剛性を高めるために、フレーム体をトラス構造等にしていたため、製造が困難であると共に、全体重量の増加を招いていた。 However, in such a conventional technique, since the frame body has a truss structure or the like in order to increase the rigidity of the frame body, it is difficult to manufacture and increases the overall weight.
 本発明は、このような従来の技術に着目してなされたものであり、軽量で単純構造のフレーム体でも、撓みが発生しない吊り型太陽追尾集光装置を提供することができる。 The present invention has been made by paying attention to such a conventional technique, and can provide a suspended solar tracking light collecting device that does not cause bending even with a light and simple frame body.
 本発明の側面によれば、フレーム体に1つの凹面鏡を形成する複数の反射ミラーを取付けてミラー構成体を形成し、ミラー構成体を地球の自転軸と平行な極軸を中心に太陽の日周運動に関連する赤経方向で回転自在に支持すると共に、極軸に直交する赤緯軸を中心とした太陽の季節運動に関連する赤緯方向で回動自在に支持した吊り型太陽追尾集光装置であって、前記フレーム体の中心から上方へ向けて支柱部を形成し、該支柱部とフレーム体の複数箇所との間にワイヤを張設したことを特徴とする。 According to the aspect of the present invention, a mirror structure is formed by attaching a plurality of reflecting mirrors forming one concave mirror to a frame body, and the mirror structure is formed on a solar sun centered on a polar axis parallel to the rotation axis of the earth. A suspended solar tracking collection that is supported rotatably in the ecliptic direction related to the circumferential motion and is also supported to rotate freely in the declination direction related to the seasonal motion of the sun around the declination axis orthogonal to the polar axis. In the optical device, a support column is formed upward from the center of the frame body, and a wire is stretched between the support column and a plurality of locations of the frame body.
 本発明の他の側面によれば、フレーム体の中心から下方へ向けて支柱部を形成し、該支柱部とフレーム体の複数箇所との間にワイヤを張設したことを特徴とする。 According to another aspect of the present invention, a support column is formed downward from the center of the frame body, and a wire is stretched between the support column and a plurality of locations on the frame body.
 本発明の側面によれば、フレーム体の複数箇所を、フレーム体の中心に形成した支柱部からワイヤによる吊っているため、フレーム体を単純構造にしても、フレーム体が撓むことがない。フレーム体を単純構造にできるため、全体重量の軽減化を図ることができる。 According to the aspect of the present invention, since a plurality of portions of the frame body are hung by the wire from the support portion formed at the center of the frame body, the frame body does not bend even if the frame body has a simple structure. Since the frame body can have a simple structure, the overall weight can be reduced.
 本発明の他の側面によれば、フレーム体の複数箇所を、下からもワイヤによりテンションを付加しているため、ミラー構成体に対して下から風が吹き付けられたような場合にも、フレーム体の撓みを防止することができる。 According to another aspect of the present invention, since tension is applied to the plurality of locations of the frame body from below with a wire, the frame can be used even when wind is blown from below on the mirror structure. The body can be prevented from bending.

A mirror constituting body 5 in which a plurality of reflecting mirrors 4 are installed on a frame body 3 is supported by being suspended from the polar axis 2. The plurality of reflecting mirrors 4 form a concave mirror that is one spherical mirror. The side of the mirror structure 5 facing the sun (first surface side) is referred to as the upper side, and the opposite side (second surface side) is referred to as the lower side.
 フレーム体3は、アルミ合金製の単純構造で、第1フレーム3a、第2フレーム3b、第3フレーム3cから構成されている。第1フレーム3aが一番小さく、その周囲に第2フレーム3bを結合することができ、更にその周囲に第3フレーム3cを結合することができる。必要に応じてフレーム体3の大きさを選ぶことができる。 The frame body 3 has a simple structure made of an aluminum alloy and includes a first frame 3a, a second frame 3b, and a third frame 3c. The first frame 3a is the smallest, the second frame 3b can be coupled to the periphery of the first frame 3a, and the third frame 3c can be coupled to the periphery thereof. The size of the frame body 3 can be selected as necessary.
 第1フレーム3aの中心はボックス型の中央フレーム部7が形成されており、そこに極軸2が貫通していて、中央フレーム部7の内部の極軸2に対して直交する赤緯軸8が貫通している。フレーム体3は赤緯軸8に位置固定されそのまわりに回転自在である。従って、フレーム体3は赤緯軸8を介して極軸2に吊り下げ支持された状態になっている。 A box-shaped central frame portion 7 is formed at the center of the first frame 3 a, and the polar axis 2 passes through the central frame portion 7. Has penetrated. The frame body 3 is fixed in position to the declination axis 8 and is rotatable around it. Therefore, the frame body 3 is suspended and supported by the polar axis 2 via the declination axis 8.
 中央フレーム部7から上部には4本の保持柱9によりスターリングエンジン10が支持されている。スターリングエンジン10の受光部はちょうど球面鏡の焦点に位置している。 The Stirling engine 10 is supported by four holding pillars 9 on the upper part from the central frame part 7. The light receiving portion of the Stirling engine 10 is located at the focal point of the spherical mirror.
 受光中央フレーム部7には上下に向けて支柱部11、12がそれぞれ形成されフレーム体3に位置固定されている。また、第3フレーム3cの四隅と、第1フレーム3aの四隅付近には、上下にそれぞれフック部13、14が形成されている。そして、上下の支柱部11、12の先端と、フック部13、14との間に、金属製のワイヤ15としてのピアノ線が張設され、ワイヤ15によりフレーム体3を吊った構造になっている。そして第1フレーム3aの四隅はワイヤ15に発生する張力を介して赤緯軸8に位置固定された受光中央フレーム部7および支柱部11からなる構造体によって支持される。 Support column parts 11 and 12 are formed on the light receiving central frame part 7 in the vertical direction and fixed to the frame body 3. In addition, hook portions 13 and 14 are formed on the top and bottom of the four corners of the third frame 3c and in the vicinity of the four corners of the first frame 3a, respectively. And the piano wire as the metal wire 15 is stretched between the front-end | tip of the up-and-down support | pillar parts 11 and 12, and the hook parts 13 and 14, It becomes the structure where the frame body 3 was suspended with the wire 15. Yes. The four corners of the first frame 3a are supported by a structure including a light receiving central frame portion 7 and a column portion 11 fixed to the declination axis 8 through tension generated in the wire 15.
 中央フレーム部7における赤緯軸8の上側にオフセットした位置には、駆動バー16が貫通した状態で設けられている。この駆動バー16は両端部がミラー構成体5よりも外側に突出する程度の長さを有している。 In the center frame portion 7, the drive bar 16 is provided at a position offset to the upper side of the declination axis 8. The drive bar 16 has such a length that both ends protrude outward from the mirror structure 5.
 駆動バー16の両端には下向きの調整部17が設けられ、調整部17の上下にはフック部18が形成されている。調整部17の上側のフック部18は、保持柱9のの途中部分に設けられたフック部19とワイヤ15を介して連結されている。調整部17の長さは、赤緯軸8に対する駆動バー16のオフセット量に相当し、調整部17の下側のフック部18の位置は、ちょうど赤緯軸8の延長線上に位置する。 Downward adjustment portions 17 are provided at both ends of the drive bar 16, and hook portions 18 are formed above and below the adjustment portion 17. The hook portion 18 on the upper side of the adjusting portion 17 is connected to a hook portion 19 provided in the middle portion of the holding column 9 via a wire 15. The length of the adjustment portion 17 corresponds to the offset amount of the drive bar 16 with respect to the declination axis 8, and the position of the hook portion 18 on the lower side of the adjustment portion 17 is located just on the extension line of the declination axis 8.
 また、調整部17の下側のフック部18には、チェーン20が取付けられ、架台ベース1に設けられた駆動ボックス21にローラー22を介して導かれている。 Further, a chain 20 is attached to the lower hook portion 18 of the adjusting portion 17 and guided to a drive box 21 provided on the gantry base 1 via a roller 22.
 図8に示すように、駆動ボックス21には、2つのローラー22の間に、モータ駆動により回転する1つのチェーンブロック23が設置されている。チェーンブロック23はチェーン20と係合した状態で、回転することにより、チェーン20を送り出すことができる。また、このチェーンブロック23は調整方向Dへ付勢されており、常にチェーン20に対してテンションを付与した状態になっている。 As shown in FIG. 8, the drive box 21 is provided with one chain block 23 between the two rollers 22 that rotates by driving the motor. The chain block 23 can be sent out by rotating in a state in which the chain block 23 is engaged with the chain 20. Further, the chain block 23 is urged in the adjustment direction D, and is always in a state where tension is applied to the chain 20.
 また、極軸2の下側にもローラー24によりチェーン25が設けられている。このチェーン25は下部において支柱部11の先端に結合されていると共に、上部において中央フレーム部7内のチェーンブロック26に別のローラー24を介して導かれている。従って、このチェーンブロック26が回転することにより、チェーン25を送り出すことができる。このチェーンブロック26も下方へ向けて付勢されている。 Also, a chain 25 is provided on the lower side of the polar shaft 2 by a roller 24. The chain 25 is coupled to the tip of the support column 11 at the lower portion, and is guided to the chain block 26 in the central frame portion 7 via another roller 24 at the upper portion. Therefore, the chain 25 can be sent out by the rotation of the chain block 26. The chain block 26 is also urged downward.
 次に作用を説明する。 Next, the operation will be described.
 駆動ボックス21内のチェーンブロック23をモータ駆動により回転させると、チェーン20がどちらかに送り出されるため、駆動バー16の一端が引かれて、ミラー構成体5全体が極軸2を中心として、太陽の日周方向へ回転する。ミラー構成体5には図示せぬ太陽センサーが設けられ、チェーンブロック23を回転制御することにより、ミラー構成体5が常に太陽を向いた状態となる。ミラー構成体5が太陽を向いた状態になると、複数の反射ミラー4にて形成された球面鏡で反射された太陽光Lがスターリングエンジン10に集光し、スターリングエンジン10で発電をすることができる。 When the chain block 23 in the drive box 21 is rotated by a motor drive, the chain 20 is sent out to one side, so that one end of the drive bar 16 is pulled, and the entire mirror structure 5 is centered on the polar axis 2 with the sun. Rotate in the diurnal direction. The mirror structure 5 is provided with a sun sensor (not shown), and by controlling the rotation of the chain block 23, the mirror structure 5 always faces the sun. When the mirror structure 5 faces the sun, the sunlight L reflected by the spherical mirror formed by the plurality of reflecting mirrors 4 is condensed on the Stirling engine 10 and can be generated by the Stirling engine 10. .
 また、季節によりミラー構成体5の向きを赤緯方向に回転させる必要があるが、その場合も中央フレーム部7内に設けられたチェーンブロック26が回転することにより、ミラー構成体5が赤緯軸8を中心に回動して、最適な向きとなる。 Further, it is necessary to rotate the mirror structure 5 in the declination direction depending on the season. In this case as well, the mirror block 5 is declinated by rotating the chain block 26 provided in the central frame portion 7. It rotates about the shaft 8 to be in an optimum direction.
 この実施形態によれば、フレーム体3の複数箇所を、フレーム体3の中心に形成した支柱部11からワイヤ15による吊っているため、フレーム体3を単純構造にしても、フレーム体3が撓むことがない。フレーム体3を単純構造にできるため、全体重量の軽減化を図ることができる。 According to this embodiment, since a plurality of locations of the frame body 3 are suspended by the wires 15 from the support column 11 formed at the center of the frame body 3, the frame body 3 is bent even if the frame body 3 has a simple structure. There is no excuse. Since the frame body 3 can have a simple structure, the overall weight can be reduced.
 また、フレーム体3の複数箇所を、下からもワイヤ15によりテンションを付加しているため、ミラー構成体5に対して下から風が吹き付けられたような場合にも、フレーム体3の撓みを防止することができる。すなわち、赤緯軸8に位置固定された中央フレーム部7および支柱部11,12からなる構造体がワイヤー15の張力を発生し維持することができる。 In addition, since tension is applied to the plurality of locations of the frame body 3 from below with the wires 15, the frame body 3 can be bent even when wind is blown from below on the mirror structure 5. Can be prevented. That is, the structure composed of the central frame portion 7 and the column portions 11 and 12 fixed to the declination axis 8 can generate and maintain the tension of the wire 15.
 更に、フレーム体3の中央フレーム部7に赤緯軸と平行な駆動バー16を形成し、その駆動バー16の両端部に駆動力を作用させるため、小さい駆動力でもミラー構成体を確実に回動させることができる。小さい駆動力で回動させることができるため消費電力が少なくて済む。 Further, since the drive bar 16 parallel to the declination axis is formed in the central frame portion 7 of the frame body 3 and the drive force is applied to both ends of the drive bar 16, the mirror structure can be reliably rotated with a small drive force. Can be moved. Since it can be rotated with a small driving force, it consumes less power.
 加えて、駆動力は駆動バー16に作用するだけで、フレーム体3に直接作用しないため、駆動力によるフレーム体3の撓みも防止することができる。 In addition, since the driving force only acts on the driving bar 16 and does not directly act on the frame body 3, it is possible to prevent the frame body 3 from being bent by the driving force.
