Abstract
A solar tracking sensor includes lens and four fibers respectively representing four directions installed in a lens barrel to serve as a fine-positioning daylighting module, and four groups of fibers installed on the side of the lens barrel to serve as a coarse-positioning daylighting module. A circuit board and four photocells are installed at the bottom of a cassette. Each photocell is connected to fine positioning fibers located in the same direction as the photocell, and is connected to coarse positioning fibers located in a direction diagonal to the direction of the photocell. By using a daylighting method of combining fine-positioning daylighting and coarse-positioning daylighting, the number of the photocells is reduced, the design of the circuit board is simplified, and costs are reduced; moreover, because the coarse-positioning daylighting module can collect sunlight in a wide-angle range, the tracking angle range of the sensor is enlarged.
