Solar tracker with kinematic coupling

A solar tracker comprising at least:

• A drive module comprising at least:
• a mobile device comprising at least:
• a table extending longitudinally in a principal direction and comprising at least one solar energy collector device;
• a support structure extending longitudinally in said principal direction and supporting said table;
• a first support arch configured to support the support structure, said first support arch having two ends fastened to the support structure;
• a first ground support configured to carry said first support arch, wherein said first ground support comprises a rotation kinematic drive device for driving rotation of said mobile device relative to the first ground support;
• At least one additional module configured to be driven by the drive module, each additional module comprising at least:
• an additional mobile device comprising at least:
• an additional table extending longitudinally in an additional direction comprising at least one additional solar energy collector device;
• an additional support structure extending longitudinally in said additional direction and supporting said additional table;
• an additional support arch configured to support said additional support structure, said additional support arch having two ends fastened to the additional support structure;
• an additional ground support configured to carry said additional support arch;
• wherein:
• Said rotation kinematic drive device is configured to directly drive the first support arch with a first kinematic movement relative to said first ground support about at least one principal rotation axis;
• Said additional ground support comprises a rotation guide device configured to guide the additional support arch in a second kinematic movement relative to said additional ground support about at least one additional rotation axis, said at least one additional rotation axis being either one of the same as the at least one principal rotation axis, or different from said at least one principal rotation axis;
• Said solar tracker comprises at least one kinematic coupling device, entirely supported by said mobile device and said additional mobile device, for coupling said drive module with said additional module, and configured so that the second kinematic movement is a function of the first kinematic movement;
• said kinematic coupling device comprising at least one first part that is fastened to the mobile device of the drive module and at least one second part that is fastened to the additional mobile device of the additional module;
• the first part and the second part are adapted to cooperate so as:
• to drive the additional mobile device in rotation about the additional rotation axis when the mobile device of the drive module is driven in rotation by the rotation kinematic drive device about the principal rotation axis,
• and such that said at least one first part is configured to move relative to said at least one second part, in translation, so as to allow relative movement between said mobile device and said additional mobile device,
• wherein said kinematic coupling device acts as at least one universal joint connection mobile in translation along the translation axis relative to the additional module and the drive module,
• wherein said at least one first part is either one of a male or female part fastened to said mobile device of the drive module, and wherein said at least one second part is the other of either one of a male or female part fastened to the additional mobile device of the additional module,
• wherein said at least one female part comprises a jaw formed as two opposing flat tapered arms ending in a connection opening and wherein said at least one male part comprises a single flat tongue configured to fit between said connection opening of said two opposing arms of said jaw, with at least two shoes on either side of said single flat tongue of said male part, each of which abuts one of opposing flat tapered arms of said jaw of said female part, thereby fitting tightly within, in a manner enabling sliding of said tongue in the jaw.
