Patent number: 9115502Abstract: It facilitates the foundation and assembling of the pedestal (15) on the ground, allowing calibration of its verticality and azimuthal orientation, further serving as a formwork element. Said frame comprises a quadrangular structure (1), articulated in at least one of its corners, preferably two, and adapted to surround the pedestal (15), which is provided with four horizontal profiles (2); calibration bolts (5) through which the pedestal (15) is pressed and adjusted in a vertical position; with said bolts (5) being inserted into nuts (4), which are connected to vertical bodies (3) linked to the profiles (2); and plates (7) linked to those profiles (2) which feature holes (8) through which picks (9) are vertically inserted, designed to be nailed to the ground for fixation and stability of the frame.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2010Date of Patent: August 25, 2015Assignee: Abengoa Solar New Technologies S.A.Inventors: Francisco Cerón Garcia, Emiliano Cornago Ramírez

Patent number: 9073275Abstract: Molding bench for curving mirrors comprising a sheet (1) supported on a frame by means of a joint system that prevents the sheet (1) from shifting and moving and to the lower part of which are fixed a series of air pipes (14) having a general air header pipe (3) connected to a vacuum pump. The sheet (1) consists of a square lattice the intersections of which have perforations that match up with a series of suction points of the air pipes (14), intended to produce a vacuum in the bench and which have been previously calibrated, such that said bench can be used to manufacture mirrors having any curvature.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2010Date of Patent: July 7, 2015Assignee: Abengoa Solar New Technologies, S.A.Inventors: Francisco Cerón Garcia, Joaquin Del Rio Martin, Antonio Esteban Garmendia, Valerio Fernandez Quero

Publication number: 20140376120Abstract: Support for facets that maintains the facet attached to the structure of a heliostat, which comprises a connecting plate, a threaded bolt, a fixed attachment of the connecting plate to the facet, and a movable attachment between the connecting plate and the threaded bolt. The movable attachment enables assembling and disassembling the facet without having to reorient thereof as well it enables to orientate the facet without having to place the facet.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 22, 2013Publication date: December 25, 2014Inventors: Francisco Cerón García, Francisco Manuel Gómez Martínez

Patent number: 8863739Abstract: It allows lifting the heliostat in the warehouse and placing it on the cart, and once it reaches the installation spot in the field, the lifting structure is used to lift the heliostat from the cart and place it on a previously installed pedestal. The structure formed by an upper arch and two lower bases, being the upper arch, comprised at the same time by a central, elongated and horizontal profile, which presents two lateral profiles on its ends, from which vertical plates start at the bottom, provided with a hole in the proximity of its lower ends, through which the upper arch (2) is linked to the lower bases through some fixing mechanism, having the lower bases a semicircular support adapted to receive one of the support arms of the heliostat.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2010Date of Patent: October 21, 2014Assignee: Abengoa Solar New Technologies S.A.Inventors: Francisco Cerón García, Emiliano Cornago Ramírez, Joaquín De Río Martín

Publication number: 20120175323Abstract: The invention comprises a frame (1) of bars formed by an upper face, a lower face and lateral faces, and comprises supports that act as a butt to stop the movement of the mirror facets (7), which are conveniently screwed to the face opposite the load face. Inner shelves (2) and outer shelves (3), in the interior of the frame (1), formed by flat structures, are joined to the supports (6), defining cavities (4) wherein the facets (7) are housed. Angle brackets (8) join the outer shelves (2) to the load face, while strips (9) join the inner shelves (3) to at least one adjacent shelf (2, 3). Elastic pads are inserted between the shelves (2, 3) and the strips (9) or angle brackets (8) for the purpose of absorbing small movements. Sealing means in the form of closed profiles are incorporated to prevent the facets (7) from abandoning the frame (1). The facets (7) may be arranged horizontally or vertically.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2010Publication date: July 12, 2012Applicant: Abengoa Solar New Technologies S.A.Inventors: Francisco Cerón Garcia, Emiliano Cornago Ramírez
