  • Patent number: 8147076
    Abstract: An object is to provide a solar ray lighting device which is capable of reducing the blocking and the shadowing of beams of light reflected by heliostats and which is capable of fixing firmly and stably a heavy and large-sized center reflector. In a beam-down type solar ray lighting device, at least three supporting blocks are assembled together to form a pyramidal shape. In addition, an outer circumferential edge of the center reflector is fixed to the supporting posts so that the outer circumferential edge of the center reflector can internally touch the supporting posts.

  • Publication number: 20110197584
    Abstract: Provided is a device for supporting a center reflector stably and firmly. The device improves the setting density of heliostats and is capable of reducing the blocking and the shadowing of the beams of light reflected by the heliostats. In a beam down system solar generation device, the center reflector is attached, in a cantilever manner, to a supporting post standing upright. A pylon is provided to stand on the top of the supporting post. A stay member is attached to the pylon and is used for fixing the center reflector. A second stay member is provided to support the supporting post. This second stay member connects: the pylon; a jut extending out from the back side of the supporting post; and a base.
