Abrégé

An Apparatus for unfolding a foldable collector module arrangement from a folded state to an unfolded state comprises a horizontal carrier (1, 2, 3), attachment means (17; 56), coupling means (13, 14; 60), and a pulling arrangement (4, 11; 50, 55). The attachment means (17; 56) releasably attaches hinged parts (22, 23, 24) of the module arrangement to the apparatus and are moveably arranged relative to the carrier. The coupling means (13, 14; 60) releasably couple collector modules (20, 21) of the collector module arrangement to the carrier. They are slideably arranged on the carrier. The pulling arrangement (4, 11; 50, 55) is attached to the attachment means (17; 6) and/or the coupling means (13, 14; 60) for moving the attachment means (17; 56) and/or the coupling means (13, 14; 60) relative to the carrier. When unfolding the collector module arrangement the pulling arrangement (4, 11; 50, 5) is activated for opening the hinged parts (22, 23, 24) of the collector module arrangement by movement of the attachment means (17; 56) and/or the coupling means (13, 14; 60).

Abrégé

The invention relates to a module support and to a collector module system having several collector modules (1) which are mounted on the module support, comprising at least two support units each having at least two lateral supports (2a, 2b; 30a, 32; 130a-d). Said lateral supports can receive at least one collector module (1) between them and the support units adjacent to the lateral supports are connected together in an articulated manner by first joints (3; 40; 140). At least one elongate connecting element (4a, 4b; 12a, 12b; 14a, 14b; 31, 33; 131 a, 131 b, 133a, 133b) is provided in an articulated manner on each lateral support. At least one of the two adjacent connecting elements (4a, 4b; 12a, 12b; 14a, 14b; 33; 133a) is connected by two joints (6) which are different from the first joints (3; 40; 140). Two adjacent connecting elements (4a, 4b; 12a, 12b; 14a, 14b; 31, 33; 131 a, 131 b, 133a, 131 b) of adjacent lateral supports (2a, 2b; 30, 32; 130a-d) are interconnected in an articulated manner by means of three joints (5; 10) such that the module support can be folded.
