The sliding sleeve 12 is connected with a transmission part, the transmission part comprises a driving part connected with a power source and a driven part fixedly connected with the sliding sleeve 12, and the driving part drives the driven part under the drive of the power source so as to drive the sliding sleeve 12 to linearly move along the axial direction of the screw rod 11;
Specifically, a fixing piece positioning hole 1203 is formed in the sliding sleeve 12, a screw rod nut 15 (driven piece) is penetrated in the fixing piece positioning hole 1203, and the screw rod nut 15 is fixedly connected with the sliding sleeve 12 through a plurality of bolts, an internal threaded hole is formed in the screw rod nut 15, and the screw rod nut 15 is movably connected with a screw rod 14 (driving piece) through the internal threaded hole;

the two ends of the screw rod 11 are respectively and movably connected with the mounting seat 13 through second bearings 18, and the screw rod 11 can rotate relative to the fixedly arranged mounting seat 13;
the outer cover of the screw 11 is provided with a housing 16 (as a fixing member);
The outer peripheral surface of the sliding sleeve 12 is provided with a first axial guiding structure extending along the axial direction, and the shell 16 is provided with a second axial guiding structure matched with the first axial guiding structure;
Specifically, the outer circumferential surface of the sliding sleeve 12 is formed with a guide groove 1201 extending along the axial direction as a first axial guide structure, and the inner wall of the housing 16 is formed with a guide protrusion 1601 matched with the guide groove 1201 of the sliding sleeve 12 as a second axial guide structure;
Of course, the first axial guiding structure may be a guiding protrusion, the second axial guiding structure may be a guiding groove, or the first axial guiding structure and the second axial guiding structure may be guiding grooves, and a plurality of intermediate members of the axial guiding structures may be disposed between the first axial guiding structure and the second axial guiding structure to form guiding engagement, such as balls, so that the sliding sleeve 12 and the housing 16 may be movably connected.
The driving mechanism of the invention works as follows:
The power source (such as a motor) drives the screw rod 14 to rotate, the rotation of the screw rod 14 drives the screw rod nut 15 to do translational motion along the axial direction of the screw rod 14, the screw rod nut 15 drives the sliding sleeve 12 to translate along the axial direction of the screw rod 11, and the sliding sleeve 12 drives the screw rod 11 to rotate around the rotation axis of the screw rod 11 through the matching guiding action of the spiral groove 1202 and the spiral protrusion 1102 in the translational process, so that the small-angle rotation of the screw rod 11 is realized.
Because the sliding sleeve 12 is matched with the guide protrusion 1601 through the guide groove 1201, the sliding sleeve 12 is movably connected with the shell 16, and the translational movement of the sliding sleeve 12 driven by the screw nut 15 can be guided by the guide groove 1201 and the guide protrusion 1601, so that the linear movement of the sliding sleeve 12 is prevented from being influenced by the rotation of the screw rod 11.
The present invention enables the screw rod 11 to rotate in a small angular range (e.g., no more than 360 °) by a power source. The maximum rotation angle of the screw 11 depends on the size of the helix angle of the screw protrusion 1102 of the screw 11 and the length of the screw 11. The small angle rotation of the screw 11 within a range of not more than 180 ° can be achieved by adjusting the pitch angle of the screw boss 1102 of the screw 11, and the length of the screw 11.
Preferably, the pitch angle of the helical guide means, which means the angle a between the helical guide means (i.e. the helical protrusion 1102) and the axis of rotation of the screw 11, is not more than 40 degrees, as shown in fig. 4.
Because the degree of the helix angle is not more than 40 degrees, when the screw rod 11 needs to rotate, the screw rod 14 is driven by a power source to rotate, and the screw rod 14 can easily drive the screw rod nut 15 and the sliding sleeve 12 to do translational motion along the axis of the screw rod 11, so that the screw rod 11 is driven to rotate. The present invention can realize low-speed rotation of the screw rod 11 without a speed reducing mechanism.
In the use process, when the photovoltaic panel applies torsion to the spiral rod 11 under the action of external force (for example, the spiral rod 11 receives huge torsion caused by strong wind blowing to the photovoltaic panel), the spiral rod 11 can transmit the external force to the sliding sleeve 12, and as the spiral guide connection between the spiral rod 11 and the sliding sleeve 12 is realized through the cooperation of the spiral protrusion 1102 and the spiral groove 1202, according to the stress analysis, the spiral rod 11 can apply thrust along the axial direction of the spiral rod 11 and thrust along the circumferential direction of the spiral rod 11 to the sliding sleeve 12, so that the sliding sleeve 12 generates a movement trend of translating along the axial direction and rotating along the circumferential direction under the action of the thrust along the axial direction;
However, due to the guiding engagement of the guiding groove 1201 and the guiding protrusion 1601, the sliding sleeve 12 can only move linearly along the axis of the screw rod 11 relative to the housing 16 and cannot rotate, so that the pushing force of the sliding sleeve 12 along the circumferential direction of the screw rod 11 is directly transmitted to the housing 16, that is, to the member for fixing the housing 16.
Meanwhile, in the process of driving the screw rod 14 to rotate, the screw rod 14 can provide a retaining force for the sliding sleeve 12 through the screw rod nut 15, so that thrust force, along the axis direction of the screw rod 11, born by the sliding sleeve 12 can be counteracted.
Under the combined action of the shell 16 and the power source, the driving shaft 301 can avoid the abnormal movement of the sliding sleeve 12 relative to the screw rod 11 when encountering strong wind during the working process, thereby avoiding the abnormal rotation of the screw rod 11 caused by strong wind.
Therefore, the screw rod 11 of the present invention has a better resistance against external force, and the rotation state thereof is not affected by the external force.
More preferably, the pitch angle of the helical guide is greater than 5 ° and less than 25 °.
Obviously, the smaller the degree of the helix angle, the smaller the thrust along the axial direction of the screw rod 11, and at this time, only a smaller power source is required to keep the screw rod 11 stationary, so as to prevent the screw rod 11 from being rotated by the torsion from the external load.
Further, when the number of degrees of the helix angle is sufficiently small, the screw rod 11 can be kept still without any power source, and at this time, the thrust force in the axial direction of the screw rod 11 after the external force is decomposed and the friction force between the guide groove 1201 and the guide protrusion 1601 are equal.
At a diameter of the screw rod 11 of 50 mm, in the case of different degrees of the helix angle of the helical guide structure, the following data were measured in combination with a limited number of experiments at different angles:
When a 1000 newton force is applied to the screw 11 at a pitch angle of 40 degrees, the force required to be applied in the axial direction of the screw 11 is about 850 newtons in order to keep the screw 11 stationary, while the pushing force required to be applied in the axial direction of the screw 11 is about 1200 newtons in order to drive a 1000 newton load.
When a force of 1000 newtons is applied to the screw 11 at a degree of 28 degrees of the helix angle, the force required to be applied in the axial direction of the screw 11 is about 500 newtons in order to hold the screw 11 stationary, whereas the pushing force required to be applied in the axial direction of the screw 11 is about 680 newtons in order to drive a 1000 newton load.
When a 1000 n force is applied to the screw 11 at a pitch angle of 18 degrees, the force required to be applied in the axial direction of the screw 11 is about 310 n in order to keep the screw 11 stationary, whereas the pushing force required to be applied in the axial direction of the screw 11 is about 450 n in order to drive a 1000 n load.
When a force of 1000 newtons is applied to the screw 11 at a degree of the helix angle of 14 degrees, the force required to be applied in the axial direction of the screw 11 is about 230 newtons in order to hold the screw 11 stationary, whereas the pushing force required to be applied in the axial direction of the screw 11 is about 320 newtons in order to drive a 1000 newton load.
When a force of 1000 newtons is applied to the screw 11 at a pitch angle of 10 degrees, the force required to be applied in the axial direction of the screw 11 is about 150 newtons in order to keep the screw 11 stationary, while the pushing force required to be applied in the axial direction of the screw 11 is about 210 newtons in order to drive a load of 1000 newtons.
When a 1000 newton force is applied to the screw 11 at a pitch angle of 5 degrees, the force required to be applied in the axial direction of the screw 11 is about 75 newtons in order to hold the screw 11 stationary, while the pushing force required to be applied in the axial direction of the screw 11 is about 110 newtons in order to drive a 1000 newton load.
As is apparent from the above experimental data, when the number of degrees of the helical angle is smaller, only a smaller power source is required to drive the load with the same weight, and at the same time, only a smaller power source is required to keep the helical rod 11 from rotating relative to the sliding sleeve 12.
Therefore, the invention can greatly reduce the power requirement on the power source of the driving mechanism, and the posture of the photovoltaic panel can be kept only by a motor with smaller power, so that the upper surface of the photovoltaic panel keeps the posture facing the sun. The concrete steps are as follows:
The dead weight of the photovoltaic panel is transferred to the screw rod 11 through the sliding sleeve 12 by the shell 16 and then transferred to the screw rod 14, and as the guide structure extending along the axial direction is arranged between the shell 16 and the sliding sleeve 12 and the spiral guide structure is arranged between the sliding sleeve 12 and the screw rod 11, the dead weight of the photovoltaic panel can be dispersed by the two guide structures, so that the direct influence of the dead weight of the photovoltaic panel on the screw rod 14 is avoided. When the photovoltaic panel stops rotating, the two guide structures can keep the working posture (the posture shown in fig. 5) of the photovoltaic panel, so that the power of the power source can only drive the spiral rod 11 to rotate, and the power requirement on the power source is reduced.
Similarly, when the photovoltaic panel receives an external force (such as strong wind), the external force received by the photovoltaic panel needs to be transmitted to the screw rod 11 and further to the screw rod 14 through the sliding sleeve 12 by the housing 16, so that the external force also does not directly affect the screw rod 14.
Further, the degree of the helix angle of the spiral guiding structure is not more than 40 degrees, particularly when the degree of the helix angle is more than 5 degrees and less than 25 degrees, the spiral guiding structure can greatly reduce the acting force transmitted to the screw rod 14, namely the acting force transmitted to the power source can be greatly reduced, the screw rod 14 can counteract the external acting force with small additional power so as to keep the original working posture, and therefore the power requirement on the power source can be further reduced, namely a motor with smaller power is needed to resist the external acting force.
According to the invention, under severe weather or special conditions, the primary driving mechanism 300 can be controlled to fold the photovoltaic panel, so that the influence of the whole wind or other conditions on the photovoltaic panel is reduced, the windward resistance is reduced, the damage risk of wind power to equipment is reduced, and the equipment is more durable. The photovoltaic board snow can also be avoided under the folded state, and the power generation attenuation rate is also reduced, so that the equipment is more durable.

As shown in fig. 5, the second embodiment of the dual-axis tracking type photovoltaic device with folding function according to the present invention is different from the first embodiment in that the other side of the fixing support 500 is fixedly connected to a second primary driving mechanism 901 extending in the transverse direction, the second primary driving mechanism 901 is connected to a second secondary driving mechanism 900 extending in the longitudinal direction, one side of the second secondary driving mechanism 900 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the third photovoltaic panel 700, and the other side of the second secondary driving mechanism 900 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the fourth photovoltaic panel 800.
The connection relationship between the second primary driving mechanism 901 and the second secondary driving mechanism 900 is the same as the connection relationship between the secondary driving mechanism 300 and the secondary driving mechanism 400, and the connection relationship between the second secondary driving mechanism 900 and the third photovoltaic panel 700 and the fourth photovoltaic panel 800 is the same as the connection relationship between the secondary driving mechanism 400 and the first photovoltaic panel 100 and the second photovoltaic panel 200, which are not described herein again.
In the second embodiment of the present invention, the first photovoltaic panel 100 and the second photovoltaic panel 200 (i.e., the first photovoltaic panel assembly) are disposed on one side of the upright post 600, and the third photovoltaic panel 700 and the fourth photovoltaic panel 800 (i.e., the second photovoltaic panel assembly) are disposed on the other side of the upright post 600, so that the first photovoltaic panel assembly and the second photovoltaic panel assembly are respectively disposed on both sides of the upright post 600 along the rotation axis of the transverse axis, and in the process of rotating the photovoltaic panel assemblies around the transverse axis, no matter the photovoltaic panels are in any posture, the first photovoltaic panel 100 and the second photovoltaic panel 200 do not shade the third photovoltaic panel 700 and the fourth photovoltaic panel 800, and vice versa, so that the lighting surface of each photovoltaic panel can be always kept to be the maximum.
Preferably, the axis of rotation of the primary drive mechanism 300 is parallel to the axis of rotation of the secondary primary drive mechanism 901.
Of course, even if the rotation axis of the primary driving mechanism 300 is not parallel to the rotation axis of the secondary driving mechanism 901, the first photovoltaic panel assembly and the second photovoltaic panel assembly can be prevented from interfering with each other by changing the width of the fixing bracket 500 so that a sufficient space is provided between the primary driving mechanism 300 and the secondary driving mechanism 901, thereby preventing the photovoltaic panels from affecting the power generation efficiency due to shielding each other.
The second embodiment of the invention can simultaneously arrange four photovoltaic panels, and can balance the stress of the vertical rods while increasing the number of the photovoltaic panels to improve the power generation capacity.
The working principle of the double-shaft tracking type photovoltaic device with the folding function is as follows:

The spiral rod 11 of the secondary driving mechanism 400 is driven to rotate by another power source to drive the first photovoltaic panel 100 and the second photovoltaic panel 200 to rotate around the rotation axis of the secondary driving mechanism 400, so that the rotation of the first photovoltaic panel 100 and the second photovoltaic panel 200 around the longitudinal axis is realized;
The rotation numbers of the screw rods 14 of the primary driving mechanism 300 and the secondary driving mechanism 400 are respectively controlled to adjust the rotation angles of the screw rods 11, so that the rotation angles of the first photovoltaic panel 100 and the second photovoltaic panel 200 around the transverse axis and the longitudinal axis can be respectively controlled, and the accurate tracking of the sun is realized;
When strong wind is encountered, the rotation angles of the spiral rods 11 of the primary driving mechanism 300 and the secondary driving mechanism 400 are respectively adjusted, so that the planes of the first photovoltaic panel 100 and the second photovoltaic panel 200 are parallel to the vertical rod 600, and the first photovoltaic panel 100 and the second photovoltaic panel 200 are rotated to the lowest point, thereby enabling the surfaces of the first photovoltaic panel 100 and the second photovoltaic panel 200 to be close to and attached to the upright post 600, reducing the wind area of the photovoltaic panels, and further realizing folding and gathering of the photovoltaic panels, as shown in fig. 6.

The screw rod 14 of the secondary driving mechanism 400 is driven to rotate by another power source, the sliding sleeve 12 is driven to translate along the axial direction of the screw rod 11, so that the shell 16 of the secondary driving mechanism 400 is driven to rotate relative to the screw rod 11, and the shell 16 of the secondary driving mechanism 400 drives the first photovoltaic panel 100 and the second photovoltaic panel 200 to rotate around the rotation axis of the secondary driving mechanism 400, so that the rotation of the first photovoltaic panel 100 and the second photovoltaic panel 200 around the longitudinal axis is realized.
