HEXAPOD TYPE POSITIONER FOR SOLAR TRACKING OF SOLAR CONCENTRATORS

摘要

Hexapod type positioner designed and conceived for its use as positioning means for solar tracking of solar concentrators (1), comprising means of fastening to the ground, hinge joints (3) for coupling between actuators (2) and means of fastening to the ground, wherein for the design and dimensioning of the hexapods, the contour characteristics are taken into account such as the size and weight of the concentrator, as well as, the maximum stresses of kinematic and dynamic type, data which influence the design parameters of the hexapod, such as the radius of the circumference wherein the hinge joints of the lower and upper platform are located, the distance between hinge joints (3) of the lower and the upper platform, the length of the actuators (2) and the travel of the actuators (2).
