The invention relates to a structural drive arrangement for rotatable structures, designed to solve the problem associated with the orientation, in any spatial direction, of pre-determined elements (3) of certain devices or uses. The structural arrangement essentially comprises: a spatial structure with moving parts (2a, 2b) that rotate with respect to a fixed vertical pivot (1a, 1b, 1c) by means of a main swivel joint (4a) and a lower multiple supporting device (4b) positioned therebetween; and secondary moving parts (2b) that are inclined or that rotate with respect to the main structure (2a) by means of mechanical elements (6) of various types, which are positioned therebetween. The drive arrangement essentially comprises the aforementioned mechanical elements (6) and drive elements (5a) secured to the main structure (2a), which, by means of force- and movement-transmission elements (5b) linked to the pivot (1a, 1b, 1c), cause the main structure to rotate about the pivot. The two arrangements provide a solution to the above-mentioned technical problem, which affords advantages in terms of structural optimization, rationality and mechanical simplification and, consequently, in terms of operating reliability, ease of maintenance and durability.

El problema técnico planteado es Ia necesidad de una estructura y de unos elementos motrices válidos para los sistemas que requieren Ia orientación de sus elementos que aporten racionalidad en el diseño y aprovechamiento de Ia estructura, Habilidad en el funcionamiento, facilidad de mantenimiento y durabilidad del sistema.The technical problem posed is the need for a structure and valid motor elements for systems that require the orientation of its elements that provide rationality in the design and use of the structure, ability to operate, ease of maintenance and durability of the system .
La invención da solución al problema técnico planteado mediante Ia conjunción de diversos elementos y aspectos que para su exposición se desglosan a continuación en configuración estructural y configuración motriz.The invention provides a solution to the technical problem posed by means of the combination of various elements and aspects that are described below in structural configuration and motor configuration.
La configuración estructural está constituida por los siguientes elementos:The structural configuration consists of the following elements:
- Pivote: constituye Ia materialización del eje vertical en torno al cual giran el resto de los elementos móviles. Es el elemento estructural fijo, estando formado, de abajo a arriba, por cimentación, peana y fuste. La cimentación es Ia parte que une y ancla el conjunto al suelo o al elemento soporte de rigidez suficiente sobre el que
se instale. La peana es Ia parte inferior del fuste, cercana a Ia cimentación, caracterizada por ser un ensanchamiento de aquel aconsejable por razones estructurales. El fuste es Ia zona del pivote que media entre Ia peana y Ia articulación superior. - Articulación superior o rótula: es el elemento colocado entre el extremo superior del pivote y Ia estructura soporte principal espacial y constituye Ia vinculación mecánica entre ambos elementos actuando como tal.- Pivot: it constitutes the materialization of the vertical axis around which the rest of the mobile elements revolve. It is the fixed structural element, being formed, from bottom to top, by foundation, base and shaft. The foundation is the part that joins and anchors the assembly to the ground or to the supporting element of sufficient rigidity on which be installed. The base is the lower part of the shaft, close to the foundation, characterized by a widening of that advisable for structural reasons. The shaft is the area of the pivot that mediates between the base and the upper joint. - Upper joint or patella: it is the element placed between the upper end of the pivot and the spatial main support structure and constitutes the mechanical link between both elements acting as such.
- Estructura soporte principal espacial: es una estructura estérea de barras cuyo cordón superior o zonas de él permiten que se materialice el segundo eje de giro o eje horizontal. Se caracteriza porque puede girar alrededor del pivote gracias al modo de realizarse su apoyo sobre él: superiormente, su punto medio apoya sobre Ia articulación o rótula interpuesta entre ellos, inferiormente dispone de apoyos rodantes.- Spatial main support structure: it is a stereo structure of bars whose upper cord or zones of it allow the second axis of rotation or horizontal axis to materialize. It is characterized in that it can rotate around the pivot thanks to the way its support is made on it: superiorly, its midpoint rests on the joint or kneecap interposed between them, inferiorly it has rolling supports.
- Apoyos rodantes: apoyos interpuestos entre Ia estructura soporte espacial principal y el pivote en su zona de Ia peana. Es un apoyo múltiple, transmitiendo solamente acciones horizontales al perímetro de ésta. Junto con Ia articulación superior o rótula hacen que el giro de Ia estructura espacial principal alrededor del pivote sea geométricamente determinado.- Rolling supports: supports interposed between the main spatial support structure and the pivot in its area of the base. It is a multiple support, transmitting only horizontal actions to its perimeter. Together with the upper joint or kneecap, the rotation of the main spatial structure around the pivot is geometrically determined.
- Estructuras espaciales transversales o traveseros: son estructuras, en número igual o superior a dos, colocadas perpendicularmente a Ia estructura principal espacial y articuladas sobre ella. Sobre ellas se colocan los elementos activos (con interposición de los niveles de subestructuras que sean precisos, correas habitualmente) y mediante su balanceo se realiza Ia inclinación o giro sobre el segundo eje de dichos elementos activos. La configuración motriz, por su parte, permite Ia realización del giro según el eje vertical y Ia realización de Ia inclinación o giro sobre el eje horizontal o segundo eje.- Transverse or transverse spatial structures: they are structures, in numbers equal to or greater than two, placed perpendicular to the main spatial structure and articulated on it. On them the active elements are placed (with interposition of the levels of substructures that are precise, usually straps) and by means of their balancing the inclination or rotation is made on the second axis of said active elements. The motor configuration, on the other hand, allows the realization of the rotation according to the vertical axis and the realization of the inclination or rotation on the horizontal axis or second axis.
Para el primer giro está constituida por los siguientes elementos:For the first turn it consists of the following elements:
- Elementos motrices o motorreductores: aportan el empuje mecánico necesario para que Ia estructura espacial principal, a Ia que van solidarizados, realice el giro alrededor del pivote.- Motor or gearmotor elements: they provide the necessary mechanical thrust so that the main spatial structure, to which they are in solidarity, makes the turn around the pivot.
-Cadenas, cables o similares: elementos mecánicos que permiten que el empuje del motorreductor o motorreductores se conviertan en giro de Ia estructura principal, al encontrarse vinculados también a Ia peana. Para el segundo giro los elementos son los siguientes:-Chains, cables or similar: mechanical elements that allow the thrust of the gearmotor or geared motors to turn into the main structure, as they are also linked to the base. For the second turn the elements are as follows:
-Actuadores lineales eléctricos o hidráulicos, husillos roscados, o elementos
mecánicos similares: se articulan en Ia estructura principal y actúan también mediante articulación sobre los traveseros, haciendo que éstos se inclinen o giren sobre el eje horizontal en función de su repliegue o extensión.-Electric or hydraulic linear actuators, threaded spindles, or elements Similar mechanics: they are articulated in the main structure and also act by means of articulation on the crosspieces, causing them to tilt or rotate on the horizontal axis depending on their folding or extension.
La simbiosis de ambas configuraciones con intervención de los elementos citados tal como se han descrito constituye Ia configuración estructural y motriz, objeto del presente Modelo de Utilidad.The symbiosis of both configurations with the intervention of the aforementioned elements as described constitutes the structural and motor configuration, object of this Utility Model.
Las ventajas que aporta se refieren a Ia optimización estructural y a Ia simplificación del sistema de funcionamiento, así como Ia adecuación a Ia condiciones de entorno en las que suelen ubicarse esos sistemas. Respecto a Ia optimización estructural es reseñable Ia utilización de estructuras espaciales de barras que al esponjarse y extenderse en el máximo volumen que deja disponible el barrido de los elementos activos rentabilizan Ia cantidad de acero a utilizar, aportan estabilidad y permiten Ia disposición de apoyo descrita mediante rótula superior y apoyos rodantes inferiores que resulta muy apropiada tanto para soportar las acciones(gravitatoήas, nieve, sismo, y sobre todo viento) como para implementar fácilmente giros(articulación más brazo de palanca).The advantages it brings refer to the structural optimization and the simplification of the operating system, as well as the adaptation to the environmental conditions in which these systems are usually located. Regarding the structural optimization, it is worth mentioning the use of spatial structures of bars that when sponged and spread in the maximum volume that makes available the scanning of the active elements make the amount of steel to be used profitable, provide stability and allow the support arrangement described by upper patella and lower rolling supports that is very appropriate both to support the actions (gravitatoήas, snow, earthquake, and especially wind) and to easily implement turns (articulation plus lever arm).
A esta configuración estructural y motriz para estructuras girables se Ia denomina en Ia fase nacional española "de pivote mixto" ya que sobre el mencionado pivote se realiza ese tipo de apoyo complejo, posible gracias a Ia espacialidad de Ia estructura, y a que, a su vez, constituye el elemento de reacción estática necesario para que el sistema motriz(motorreductor+cadena, cable o similar) pueda implementar el giro alrededor del eje vertical.This structural and motor configuration for rotatable structures is referred to in the Spanish national phase as "mixed pivot" since on the aforementioned pivot this type of complex support is made, possible thanks to the spatiality of the structure, since, at its instead, it constitutes the necessary static reaction element so that the drive system (gearmotor + chain, cable or similar) can implement the rotation around the vertical axis.
La simplificación del sistema de funcionamiento se basa en que Ia orientación de los elementos activos en cualquier dirección del espacio se resuelve mediante el giro según dos ejes que se lleva a cabo del modo cinemático más elemental posible, es decir, mediante Ia disposición de una articulación y un brazo de palanca adecuado, Io cual es posible gracias al diseño expuesto de configuración estructural y de motricidad.The simplification of the operating system is based on the fact that the orientation of the active elements in any direction of the space is resolved by the rotation according to two axes that is carried out in the most elementary kinematic way possible, that is, by means of the arrangement of an articulation and a suitable lever arm, which is possible thanks to the exposed design of structural and motor configuration.
La conveniencia de Ia adecuación a las condiciones del entorno proviene de que los artefactos para los que se diseña este Modelo de Utilidad suelen ubicarse y realizar sus funciones a Ia intemperie, en zonas exteriores, y de que, además, sus elementos activos suelen ser de carácter predominantemente superficial. Ambos factores provocan que el viento sea Ia acción más condicionante y que se deba tener en cuenta su entidad o módulo pero, sobre todo, su carácter variable, tanto en módulo como en dirección. Para ello Ia configuración estructural y motriz expuesta constituye Ia respuesta adecuada tanto por su simplicidad como por Ia
utilización de brazos de palanca acordes con Ia entidad de los momentos generados por las acciones y válidos para soportar variaciones de dirección repetidas e inesperadas.The convenience of adapting to the conditions of the environment comes from the fact that the devices for which this Utility Model is designed are usually located and perform their functions outdoors, in outdoor areas, and that, in addition, their active elements are usually of predominantly superficial character. Both factors cause the wind to be the most conditioning action and that its entity or module must be taken into account but, above all, its variable character, both in module and in direction. For this, the exposed structural and motor configuration constitutes the adequate response both for its simplicity and for the use of lever arms consistent with the entity of the moments generated by the actions and valid to withstand repeated and unexpected direction variations.
La conjunción de todos los aspectos citados desemboca pues en tres grandes ventajas más que son reseñables: mayor fiabilidad en el funcionamiento, mayor facilidad de mantenimiento y mayor durabilidad. Descripción de los dibujosThe combination of all the aforementioned aspects thus leads to three major advantages that are noteworthy: greater reliability in operation, greater ease of maintenance and greater durability.

The pivot, as seen in the figures, has the following differentiated parts: 1a is the foundation, in this case on the ground; 1b is the base, which is a widening in its lower part arranged to give greater static structural stability and to achieve an appropriate reaction zone to withstand the stresses introduced by the driving elements (5a, 5b) when making the turns; 1c is the shaft or pivot area between the base and the upper joint or kneecap.
El apoyo de las estructuras en el pivote se realiza mediante dos disposiciones: 4a es Ia articulación o rótula y funciona mecánicamente como tal, situándose entre el extremo superior del fuste(1c) y Ia zona superior central de Ia estructura espacial(2a) vinculando ambos elementos y permitiendo el giro de ésta sobre aquel; 4b es el apoyo múltiple rodante que se sitúa entre Ia zona inferior de Ia estructura principal espacial(2a) y el perímetro de Ia peana(1b), a Ia que transmite solo acciones horizontales, permitiendo este apoyo, como el anterior, que Ia estructura principal espacial(2a) gire alrededor del pivote consiguiendo, al actuar conjuntamente con Ia articulación superior(4a) que dicho giro sea geométricamente determinado.The support of the structures in the pivot is carried out by means of two arrangements: 4a is the joint or kneecap and works mechanically as such, being located between the upper end of the shaft (1c) and the upper central area of the spatial structure (2a) linking both elements and allowing the rotation of this over that; 4b is the multiple rolling support that is located between the lower zone of the main spatial structure (2a) and the perimeter of the base (1b), to which it transmits only horizontal actions, allowing this support, like the previous one, that the structure Spatial main (2a) rotate around the pivot getting, acting together with the upper joint (4a) that said turn is geometrically determined.
La configuración motriz o de motricidad debe llevar a cabo el giro según dos ejes de los elementos activos (3) y, por tanto, de las estructuras espaciales en las que éstos se sustentan(2a y 2b).The motor or motor configuration must carry out the rotation according to two axes of the active elements (3) and, therefore, of the spatial structures on which they are supported (2a and 2b).
Para el giro según el eje vertical, es decir, alrededor del pivote, se dispone de un sistema constituido por un elemento motriz o motorreductor(5a) solidarizado con Ia estructura principal espacial(2a) que mediante un elemento de transmisión de fuerza y movimiento o cadena(5b) vinculado a Ia peana (1b) hace que aquella estructura gire en tomo a ésta.For the rotation along the vertical axis, that is, around the pivot, there is a system consisting of a driving element or gearmotor (5a) in solidarity with the main spatial structure (2a) that by means of a force and movement transmission element or chain (5b) linked to the base (1b) causes that structure to revolve around it.
Para el giro según el segundo eje se disponen elementos mecánicos replegables y extensibles tales como actuadores lineales eléctricos, hidráulicos o similares(6) que articulados entre Ia estructura principal espacial(2a) y las estructuras espaciales transversales(2b) hacen que éstas últimas puedan tomar distintas inclinaciones y por tanto también los elementos activos(3) que sobre ellos se instalan.For the rotation according to the second axis, retractable and extensible mechanical elements are arranged such as electric, hydraulic or similar linear actuators (6) that articulated between the main spatial structure (2a) and the transverse spatial structures (2b) make the latter can take different inclinations and therefore also the active elements (3) that are installed on them.
