To do.

FIG. 2 is a circuit diagram for explaining the configuration of the wind information notification apparatus. In FIG. 2, a DC power source is shown as the power source 52. Specifically, it is connected to an AC power source wired outdoors, and the AC power source is full-wave rectified with a diode and smoothed with a capacitor (DC). And is connected via a so-called adapter (not shown) that converts it into a DC voltage.
As shown in FIG. 2, the wind information notification device 5 includes a power supply 52, a wind sensing device 10, and an LED panel 55 as a light emitter.

  FIG. 3 is a perspective view for explaining an example of the wind sensing device. In FIG. 3, in order to explain the configuration of the wind sensing device, a part thereof is shown broken away.

  The wind sensing device 10 includes a cylindrical casing 20 having a space 20a therein, a swingable support on the upper portion of the casing 20, and a wind receiving portion 30 provided in the space 20a in the casing 20. have.

  The casing 20 includes a resin-made upper disk 21 located above the space 20a, a resin-made bottom disk 22 disposed below and spaced from the upper disk 21, and the upper disk 21 and the bottom disk 22. And a mesh member 23 that covers the gap in the circumferential direction. The upper disk 21 and the bottom disk 22 are disk-shaped members having the same outer diameter. A space 20 a surrounded by the mesh member 23 between the upper disk 21 and the bottom disk 22 is formed by the mesh member 23 surrounding the outer periphery of the upper disk 21 and the bottom disk 22 that are spaced apart vertically. Is formed. And between the upper disk 21 and the bottom disk 22, it is comprised so that a wind may blow through the mesh member 23. FIG.

  In the center of the upper disk 21, a hole 21a that communicates the outside of the casing 20 and the space 20a is provided along the vertical direction. In addition, an annular metal ring member 24 is provided on the lower surface 21 b side of the upper disk 21. The ring member 24 is disposed concentrically with the hole 21a, and the inner diameter of the ring member 24 is substantially the same as the inner diameter of the hole 21a. The ring member 24 is connected to one of the two power lines 50 connected to the power source 52 (FIG. 2).

  The wind receiving part 30 is inserted into the space 20a from the hole part 21a of the upper disk 21 and suspended, and a plurality (four in this case) of the wind receiving part 30 provided radially around the rod part 31 to receive the wind. And a wind receiving plate 32. The rod part 31 is a metal round bar-like member, the upper end part 31a has an outer diameter larger than the inner diameter of the hole part 21a of the upper disk 21, and the shaft part 31b below the upper end part 31a is the hole part 21a. The outer diameter is sufficiently smaller than the inner diameter. In addition, the boundary portion between the upper end portion 31a and the shaft portion 31b is provided with a taper portion 31c having a taper that the outer diameter gradually decreases downward. When the wind receiving portion 30 is mounted on the casing 20, the shaft portion 31b is inserted into the hole portion 21a from above and the tapered portion 31c is engaged with the upper edge of the hole portion 21a. 30 is swingably supported. At this time, since the rod portion 31 is engaged with the upper edge of the hole portion 21a by the taper portion 31c, the central axis of the rod portion 31 is located substantially at the center of the hole portion 21a.

  With the rod portion 31 engaged with the upper edge of the hole portion 21 a, the upper end portion 31 a of the rod portion 31 protrudes above the upper disk 21, and the two power supply lines 50 connected to the power supply 52 are connected. The other of them is connected. The shaft portion 31 b is provided with a resin wind receiving plate 32 below the upper disk 21 and the ring member 24.

  In the wind sensing device 10 in which the wind receiving portion 30 is incorporated in the casing 20, the wind receiving portion 30 swings and the rod portion 31 tilts, and the portion of the rod portion 31 above the wind receiving plate 32 is connected to the ring member 24. The wind receiving plate 32 is configured not to contact any of the upper disk 21, the bottom disk 22, the mesh member 23, and the ring member 24 when contacted.

  In the wind information notification device 5, the power source 52 and the rod portion 31 and the ring member 24 of the wind sensing device 10 are connected by a power line 50, and as shown in FIG. 2, between the power source 52 and the wind sensing device 10. The connected LED panel 55 is arranged in the area 3 a of the sidewalk 3. Seven LED panels 55 are embedded in the sidewalk in the area 3a, and the wind sensing device 10 is disposed in the implant 7 in the area 3a. Here, the areas are divided so that the wind flow is the same within the divided areas.

  When wind blows to the wind sensing device 10 disposed outdoors, the wind enters the space 20 a through the mesh member 23. When the wind receiving plate 32 receives the wind that has entered the space 20a, the wind receiving portion 30 swings. At this time, the magnitude | size which the wind receiving part 30 rock | fluctuates differs according to the strength of a wind.

  When the wind receiving plate 32 receives the wind and swings, the wind receiving portion 30 is displaced, and when the rod portion 31 comes into contact with the ring member 24, electric power is supplied to the LED panel 55, and the LED panel 55 emits light. When the LED panel 55 emits light, it is sensed that the wind is blowing and that the rod part 31 is in contact with the ring member 24, and the sensed information is transmitted to the pedestrian and the sidewalk. It is notified to those who are present.

  At this time, when the LED panel 55 blinks, the rod portion 31 is in contact with or away from the ring member 24, so it is detected that a relatively weak wind is blowing, and the detected information is pedestrian. And those who are on the sidewalk. Further, when the LED panel 55 continues to emit light, it is sensed that a stronger wind is blowing than when blinking because the rod portion 31 continues to contact the ring member 24, and the sensed information is detected. Is reported to pedestrians and people on the sidewalk.

  Since the wind information notification device 5 is provided in each of the areas 3a, 3b, and 3c, the wind information in each area is notified by the LED panel 55. At this time, when the wind blows from the region 3a toward the region 3c, the LED panel 55 is sequentially turned on in the order of the region 3a, the region 3b, and the region 3c, and the direction in which the wind flows is also notified.

  According to the wind information notification system 1 of the present embodiment, each of the areas 3a, 3b, and 3c detected by the wind sensing device 10 provided in each of the plurality of areas 3a, 3b, and 3c divided around the building 2 is detected. Since the result is notified on the LED panel 55, it is possible to notify more appropriate wind information in each of the regions 3a, 3b, and 3c. At this time, since the blinking speed of the LED panel 55 changes depending on the strength of the wind, the wind information includes not only the presence / absence information of the wind in each of the regions 3a, 3b, and 3c, but also the LED panel 55 depends on the strength of the wind. It is also possible to notify the wind intensity in each area 3a, 3b, 3c, the difference in wind intensity between each area 3a, 3b, 3c, and how the wind intensity changes due to the flashing speed change. It is.

  Further, since the wind sensing device 10 functions as a switch for switching between energization and de-energization with respect to the LED panel 55, since the wind sensing device 10 receives wind, the energization or de-energization of the LED panel 55 is switched. It is possible to notify wind information in real time with an inexpensive device.

  Further, since the wind received by the wind receiving plate 32 enters the space 20a through the mesh member 23, the amount of air entering the space 20a can be adjusted by changing the roughness of the mesh. For this reason, it is possible to easily realize the wind information notification system 1 that detects and notifies a wind of a desired strength by changing the roughness of the mesh in the mesh member 23. Here, the method of changing the sensitivity of the wind sensing device 10 can also be realized by changing the distance between the ring member 24 and the rod portion 31, the mass of the wind receiving portion 30, and the size of the wind receiving plate 32. Is possible.

  Since the wind information notification system 1 can notify the wind information for each of the plurality of divided areas, for example, a person walking on the sidewalk recognizes the area where the wind is strong in the traveling direction by the LED panel 55. It is possible. For this reason, it is possible to prevent a pedestrian or a person riding a bicycle from being suddenly hit by a strong wind.

  In addition, since the LED panel 55 is embedded in the sidewalk, the width of the sidewalk will not be reduced as in the case where a display board or the like such as “strong wind caution” is placed, and the wind information is notified without causing a step. Is possible. Further, since the LED panel 55 of the notification device does not protrude to the outside, no wind noise or flapping sound like a windsock or a flag is generated. It is.

  Moreover, the said embodiment is for making an understanding of this invention easy, and is not for limiting and interpreting this invention. The present invention can be changed and improved without departing from the gist thereof, and it is needless to say that the present invention includes equivalents thereof.

  In the above embodiment, an example in which the sidewalk 3 is divided into three regions has been described, but the number of divided regions may be one or a plurality other than three. When there is one segmented area, the wind information notification device 5 corresponds to the wind information notification system 1. When the wind information notification system 1 is provided only in one area such as between buildings where particularly strong winds are easily blown, for example, the fact that strong winds are blowing in one area such as between buildings is aesthetically pleasing. It is possible to notify a person approaching the area in real time without harming the environment.

  In the said embodiment, although the alerting | reporting apparatus was used as the LED panel 55, you may provide the apparatus which emits a music and a sound as an alerting | reporting apparatus.

  Each area has a plurality of wind sensing devices with different sensitivities and LED panels of different colors connected to each wind sensing device, and each wind sensing device senses wind of different strength. The LED panel that emits light, that is, the intensity of wind in each region may be notified by changing the emission color.
