Abstract
Disclosed is a rotation apparatus of a pole system for photovoltaic power generation, the rotation apparatus comprising: a first tubular body connected to a solar panel array; a second tubular body coupled to a lower portion of the first tubular body and fixed on the upper end of a pole; a gear unit for transferring rotating force to the first tubular body; a driving motor for providing the gear unit with the rotating force; and a contact part of at least 3-points of contact, which is installed on coupling portions of the first tubular body and the second tubular body and maintains a contact state during the relative rotation of the first and second tubular bodies to transfer the power or a signal.
Claims6
A rotation apparatus of a pole system for photovoltaic power generation installed at an upper end of a pole to rotate a solar panel array, the rotation apparatus comprising:
- a first tubular body connected to the solar panel array;
- a second tubular body coupled below the first tubular body and fixed to the upper end of the pole;
- a gear unit to transmit a rotating force to the first tubular body;
- a driving motor to provide the rotating force to the gear unit;
- and
- a contact part including at least three contact points installed at a coupled part of the first tubular body and the second tubular body and held in contact during a relative rotation between the first tubular body and the second tubular body to transmit power or a signal,
- wherein the solar panel array includes a plurality of solar panels connected in series,
- wherein the contact part includes a first contact point, a second contact point and a third contact point,
- wherein two terminals of output of all the plurality of solar panels are connected to the first contact point and the second contact point,
- wherein two terminals of output of some of the plurality of solar panels are connected to the first contact point and the third contact point, and
- wherein an output power through the first contact point and the second contact point is supplied to a power inverter, and an output power through the first contact point and the third contact point is supplied to the driving motor.
