The prompt
Create a detailed, engineering-grade 3D CAD model of an Intelligent Dual-Axis Solar Tracking System with Automatic Wind Protection. The model must be mechanically realistic, properly dimensioned, and suitable for a Mechanical Engineering college project presentation, assembly study, and motion simulation. 1. OVERALL STRUCTURE Design a ground-mounted solar tracking system. Initial dimensions: Solar panel 1000 × 600 × 35 mm; base plate 400 × 400 × 12 mm; vertical support column 700 mm high and 100 mm diameter; upper rotating platform 700 × 500 mm; panel supporting frame 1050 × 650 mm; panel inclination range 0–90 degrees; azimuth rotation range 0–180 degrees. 2. MECHANICAL COMPONENTS Create separate editable components: base plate with mounting holes, vertical support column with reinforcing brackets, slewing bearing or rotary turntable bearing, azimuth rotating platform, DC geared motor and gearbox, motor mounting bracket and gear transmission, horizontal elevation shaft with two supporting bearings, solar panel mounting frame made from rectangular hollow sections, two side pivot brackets, linear actuator with mounting joints, mechanical end stops, wind-stow locking mechanism, four LDR sensor brackets, anemometer bracket, electronic control box, bolts, nuts and washers. 3. DUAL-AXIS TRACKING Implement two independent rotational axes. The azimuth axis rotates the upper assembly horizontally using a geared motor and rotary bearing. The elevation axis tilts the panel using a linear actuator and pivot shaft. Ensure both mechanisms can move without interference. 4. WIND PROTECTION Include a mechanical safety mechanism that moves the panel into a predefined near-horizontal wind-stow position during excessive wind. Include actuator connections, locking pin, adjustable end stops and wind sensor bracket. Show normal tracking and safe stow positions. 5. SENSOR ARRANGEMENT Add four LDR sensor locations around a central cross-shaped shading divider. Include an anemometer mounting point, controller enclosure, motor mounting points and cable routing provisions. 6. ENGINEERING REQUIREMENTS Use realistic mechanical proportions. Keep major components as separate solid bodies or editable parts. Maintain correct mating alignment, bearings, shafts, pivots, fasteners and clearances. Avoid floating components, overlapping geometry and decorative-only shapes. Make the assembly suitable for CAD motion studies. 7. REQUIRED VIEWS Generate assembled isometric, front, side and top orthographic views; exploded assembly view; close-up azimuth mechanism; close-up elevation actuator mechanism; normal tracking position; wind-stow position. Final objective: Produce a professional, realistic, mechanically functional conceptual CAD assembly of a dual-axis solar tracker with automatic wind protection, suitable for STEP export and further engineering analysis and simulation.
