Description

Method for operating music fountain

The present invention relates to a method for operating a music fountain, and more particularly, by patterning water patterns by a music fountain operating program and synchronizing them with a digitized sound source to produce pattern data for music fountain production. The present invention relates to a music fountain operating method for driving a nozzle, a submersible pump, and a servomotor to produce a music fountain and to reproduce an image reproducing apparatus.

Conventional music fountains or fountains are not only devices that need to operate the fountain, such as lighting of various colors, electronic nozzles for producing water jets, pumps for supplying water, servo motors for swinging jets of water, etc., but also images and lasers. You can enjoy the upgraded music fountain by linking with it.

These conventional music fountains take an operating manner in which water screens (fountain screens), music fountains, laser shows, animations, and video contents are separately produced, and these are not integrated into one form. In addition to the contacts of lighting, electronic nozzles, pumps, and servo motors, fractional control is inputted into a PLC (a digital electronic device that controls various types of machines or processors through digital or analog I / O modules). The manager makes each water (fountain) shape data by PLC program and inputs the data to PLC. When data is converted into the basic shape of water (fountain) shape, the manager analyzes / inputs into the symbol of PLC. Since the shape cannot be known from the PLC, in order to check the actual appearance and the PLC data together, the shape of the water (fountain) must be checked with the eyes at the same time as the data input.

This conventional water data-forming method takes a considerable amount of time to input water data, and inputs it by creating a water (fountain) shape to be created at a desired time zone, rather than specifying the water (fountain) shape as a pattern. If you modify the shape of one water (fraction), you must modify all the programs that use the same shape.

In addition, in the method of creating basic water (fractional) shape data in each time zone and inputting it to PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), it is necessary to find and modify all programs in the time zone to which the basic water (fractional) shape is applied. If the nozzle is installed, it takes considerable time and the cost. In addition, when the fountain is directly controlled from the PLC, it is difficult to produce in conjunction with additional equipment such as a beam project and a laser device, so the music fountain, video, and laser animation can be produced individually.

For example, if the image shape and the animation shape of the laser are combined together, the image shape and the animation shape of the laser together with music should be operated in one shape at the exact time point. This is not possible because the instrument cannot be controlled directly.

According to the present invention, as the size of the music fountain is increased, the method of directing the music fountain is diversified, and the production technique is advanced, a music fountain operation program capable of operating the music fountain is made, and various fountain expressions are possible, and the computer is equipped with music fountain operation. The purpose is to make it easy to create new shapes of water using the program.

In addition, the present invention is to create a pattern data for the production of music fountain by inputting each pattern by patterning a complex water shape and using it to drive the electronic nozzle, submersible pump and servo motor to produce a music fountain On the other hand, the purpose of the music fountain and the speaker and the video playback device is interlocked by the music through the speaker and the video output through the video playback device.

In addition, an object of the present invention is to enable fine time control of the electronic nozzle for at least 0.02 seconds and to easily modify and supplement the basic patterns constituting the pattern data for the musical fountain.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a music fountain operating method, comprising: a first method of reading a digitized time code from a video signal and an audio signal reproduced by a video reproducing apparatus and converting the digitized time code into a signal for producing a music fountain; step; A second step of basic patterning and storing various water shapes for music fountain production by a computer equipped with a music fountain operating program; A third step of inserting the basic pattern stored in the second step into a sound source to be produced; A fourth step of producing pattern data for music fountain production by synchronizing with the sound source into which the basic pattern is inserted in the third step to the signal for music fountain production obtained in the first step; A fifth step of transmitting the pattern data for producing the music fountain produced in the fourth step to a programmable logic controller (PLC) through an Ethernet communication card; And a signal reproduced by the image reproducing apparatus while directing a music fountain by driving a music fountain component composed of illumination, an electronic nozzle, an underwater pump, and a servo motor by a PLC receiving the pattern data transmitted in the fifth step. And a sixth step of outputting a signal, wherein the time code in the first step is a track signal recorded on a video or audio tape and has a unit of one frame.

The program makes it easy to create new shapes of water.

In addition, the present invention produces a pattern data for the production of music fountain by inputting each of the basic patterns after the basic pattern of the complex water shape and by using it to drive the electronic nozzle, submersible pump and servo motor music fountain On the other hand, the music fountain, the speaker, and the video playback device may be linked by drawing music through the speaker and outputting an image through the video playback device.

In addition, the present invention enables fine time control of the electronic nozzle to a minimum of 0.02 seconds, and it is easy to modify and supplement the basic patterns constituting the pattern data for the music fountain production.

Figure 1 shows a control system for the production of music fountain according to the present invention for the production of music fountain with images and music.

As shown in FIG. 1, the control system for music fountain production according to the present invention includes an image reproducing apparatus, a time code signal converting apparatus, a computer, an Ethernet communication card, a PLC, a music fountain component, an amplifier, and a speaker. , Equipment such as laser machine, beam project and so on.

The image reproducing apparatus is a conventional image reproducing apparatus such as DVD, DVCAM or the like for reproducing an image signal recorded on a CD or a tape or an audio signal such as music.

The time code signal converting apparatus is a device for separating a time code from an audio signal reproduced by the video reproducing apparatus and converting the time code into a digital signal for producing a music fountain.

The computer is equipped with a music fountain operating program for producing a music fountain, and inputs a water pattern basic pattern in the time code for a specific audio signal, including the basic patterning and modifying the water pattern for the music fountain production Function, a function of producing a music fountain, a function of displaying the operating state of the music fountain, and the like. In addition, the computer may be equipped with a laser operating program for controlling the operation of the laser device, in this case may further include a function for driving the laser device.

The Ethernet communication card is a general-purpose one, and the inputted data is transmitted to the music fountain component through a PLC so that the music fountain component is driven, and the music fountain component is an electronic nozzle, underwater. Pumps, servomotors, lamps and the like may be applicable.

An audio signal such as music reproduced by the image reproducing apparatus is amplified by an amplifier and output to a speaker, and the image signal is output through an image equipment such as a beam project.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a process of producing a musical fountain by the control system for directing the musical fountain of FIG. 1.

2, the music fountain operating method of the present invention first generates a basic pattern.

The basic pattern is created in the pattern editing window of the fountain operation program to be described later, and generates a basic pattern reminiscent of the shape of water that can be produced in the fountain apparatus installed in the fountain system. The method of generating the basic pattern may be variously generated according to the detailed numerical values input to the electronic nozzle, the servomotor, and the submersible pump, which are the components of the fountain device. For example, the number and quantity of valves to be produced are shown. , Select the desired pattern type, set the ON / OFF quantity, speed, direction, etc. of the solenoid valve to be controlled, and enter the detailed conditions such as the operating conditions of the submersible motor and the submotor. A basic pattern having a shape is generated.

Next, the stored basic pattern is inserted into the sound source to be produced.

The method of inserting the basic pattern into the sound source inputs the basic pattern suitable for the atmosphere at a time set according to the change in the rhythm and the beat, the beat, the chord or the chord of the sound source to produce the music fountain. At this time, the basic pattern inserted into the sound source to be produced may be inserted into one basic pattern during the playing time of the sound source, or may be inserted into a plurality of basic patterns. Therefore, while one sound source is played, the fountain may be ejected by the basic pattern having one water shape, and the fountains having various water shapes may be ejected for a predetermined time so that the fountains of various types may be ejected. You may. If there is no basic pattern suitable for the sound source, a separate water shape is inputted. The basic pattern is a pattern of the most basic and commonly used water shapes, and if there is no basic pattern having a water shape that matches the sound source, then a desired water shape is input at that time.

Next, the sound source into which the basic pattern is inserted is synchronized with the output signal converted by the time code signal converting apparatus to generate pattern data, which is transmitted to the PLC through the Ethernet communication card.

The time code signal converting apparatus reads the digitized time code from the audio signal reproduced by the image reproducing apparatus and converts it into a signal for directing the musical fraction, so that the corresponding music fraction corresponds to the audio signal output by the image reproducing apparatus. And the video to be produced at the same time.

The signals transmitted to the PLC are then output to drive the music fountain component consisting of lighting, electronic nozzle, submersible pump, and servo motor to produce music fountain, output audio signal to speaker, and output video signal to beam project. .

3A is an exemplary view of a computer screen used in the music fountain operating method of the present invention. In the screen of FIG. 3A, reference numerals 1 to 9 are shown along with an operation window for producing a music fountain.

In the above screen, ① is a tool for setting the production direction, a tool for inputting a basic pattern of water and lighting in a time zone of a sound source, ② is a pattern editing tool, and a tool for creating or modifying a basic pattern of water, ③ As an auxiliary function tool, it is a tool for resetting the origin of the servomotor or returning it to the original origin. ④ is a tool for manual control. ⑤ is a tool that provides performance information, and it displays the title and playing time of the currently active sound source. ⑥ arranges the list of basic patterns of water shape input in the pattern editing tool according to the time zone. , Shows a list of the basic pattern of the water shape in real time, ⑦ shows the basic pattern of the water shape appearing in the time zone in which the sound source proceeds, ⑧ Indicates the operating state of the submersible pump in real time, and ⑨ indicates the set value of the servomotor and the moving angle of the servomotor according to the set value in real time.

The 'operation window' shows the communication status with the PLC in real time, and shows the progress of the manual pump and the servo motor to be monitored through the gauge. In directing the music fountain, it is divided into 'remote driving' and 'manual driving'. In the case of remote driving, it is a mode for producing music fountain, including music, video, and laser. In the case of manual operation, this mode is mainly used to check the fountain pattern and important equipments by directing only a fraction.

When the tool of ① is selected, as shown in FIG. 3B, a 'sequence setting window' for inputting the basic pattern and lighting of water in the time zone of the sound source appears, and adding, inserting, deleting, copying, pasting, and adjusting , Tools for inserting other songs. Here, 'add' is a tool for inputting a new pattern, 'insert' is a tool for inputting a pattern between time periods in which a pattern is already set, and 'copy and paste' is a pattern to copy when the same patterns are used. It is a tool to specify and paste it in the desired time zone. 'Adjust' is used to change the time that is already set. 'Insert another song' is used to load the pattern data already input per song into the master sound source. It is a tool.

When the tool of ② is selected, a 'pattern editing window' for generating and modifying a basic pattern of water shape is displayed as shown in FIG. 3C. Enter the number and quantity of the solenoid valve to be displayed in. Secondly, select the desired pattern format from 'Pattern Basic Format'. Third, set the ON / OFF quantity, speed, and direction of solenoid valve to be controlled. Finally, the submersible pump connected to the solenoid valve and the servomotor are selected to generate the basic pattern by inputting the on / off, servo rotation angle and speed.

In this case, the solenoid valve is designed to be controlled up to 0.02 seconds, which is not recognized by the window operating system, so that the water in the form of a wave according to the opening and closing of the solenoid valve can be more naturally produced. In addition, it basically makes the form of the frequently used direction, that is, wave chopping, circle, group shift, etc. in the form of a tool, so that only the number of nozzles, the opening and closing time of the solenoid valve, and the directing direction are produced. When set, one basic pattern is easily created. The servo motor can freely set the angle within 0 ~ 360 ⁰ and can control not only the reciprocating rotation of the servo motor but also the rotation speed (rpm). Submersible pumps can be set to be controlled on or off (0/100%) when the inverter is used as well as on / off of the submersible pump. All of these features combine to form a complete basic water pattern.

If the tool of ③ is selected, an auxiliary function window for manually controlling the servo motor is displayed as shown in FIG. 3D, and the origin of the servo motor is reassigned or returned to the original origin. In other words, if the operator selects the servo motor that is out of the original home position and presses the home return button, it returns to the original home position. However, if the original set point is also out of the vertical point due to mechanical inertia, move the servo motor slowly by jog operation to find the vertical point, and then press 'Set current home position' to ignore the original set point and set the newly set home point. Control to the center.

When the tool of ④ is selected, as shown in FIG. 3E, a 'manual control window' for manually controlling the music fountain components, that is, the submersible pump, the servomotor, and the solenoid valve, respectively, is displayed. It is used as a window. In other words, simply input the submersible pump, servomotor and electronic nozzle number to control, input the speed, angle, etc. and press the 'pillar' button.

Combining all of these functions to create a number of basic patterns of water shape, and to create and direct the water-shaped basic patterns in seconds in the sound source (MP3) time to produce. The music of the produced music fountain can be checked per song, and the value set for each song (the basic pattern of the water pattern applied per song) can be loaded into the 'master music' which is a combination of several songs. Basic patterns in the shape of water present can be easily modified and confirmed per song.

The basic system error in music fountain operation is designed to be corrected on the computer equipped with music fountain operation program, so that the operator can correct it directly on the computer without going through the PLC program.

That is, the present invention reads the digitized time code from a video signal and an audio signal on a CD or a tape reproduced by a conventional video reproducing apparatus such as DVCAM, DVD, etc., and converts the time code into a signal for producing a music fountain. While controlling the driving of the music fountain, the music fountain is controlled by the pattern data in which the water pattern is combined, and the audio signal such as music is output to the speaker and the image signal is output to the beam project.

As a result, the video signal, the audio signal, and the laser device can be linked to each other. By taking the time in units of frames instead of seconds, the error can be adjusted to one frame, thereby producing a more complete musical fountain.

Hereinafter, a description will be given of an example of directing a music fountain linked to a video signal and an audio signal reproduced by a video reproducing apparatus.

When producing music fountain with audio signal such as video signal and music, music fountain is produced by time code that records time (synchronized signal) digitally instead of general contact signal by music fountain operation program installed in computer. To control.

This timecode is the same signal generated by the video reproducing apparatus. It is reproduced and converted together with the video and audio signals that record the time digitally, and used as a synchronization signal when editing pattern data by the music fountain operating program. A fountain is produced. Since the signal output from the video reproducing apparatus is adjusted in units of frames, the image, music, and music fountain can be produced simultaneously without error of one frame.

In addition to music fountains, equipment such as laser devices and beam projects are linked by time code, so that images, music fountains, laser devices, and beam projects can be linked together. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the music fountain is produced in accordance with the direction indicated by the person's hand gestures and the time in the image on the water screen, so that a similar image and a fountain can be produced.

In addition, the laser show or the production animation should be able to produce a visual music fountain that can be connected to the music fountain in the same way as the video and the laser show and the music fountain can lead to a story.

When producing the basic pattern of water shape for the production of music fountain, the nozzle which can produce various water shapes by automatically controlling the injection of water up to 0.02 seconds from the control valve integrally attached to the electronic nozzle, that is, the electronic nozzle (see Patent No. 0404155) The on time and off time can be adjusted separately.

In other words, when the electron nozzles are arranged in a straight line, the water flows when the electron nozzles are sequentially opened and the water is erupted. When the electron nozzles are opened and closed, the wave has a similar shape. Only the speed is controlled in the form, which can only produce waves that move fast or slow. However, when the opening time and closing time of the electronic nozzle are given differently, the opening speed of the electronic nozzle can be set quickly and the closing speed of the electronic nozzle can be set slowly or slowly.

This enables not only the basic wave shape but also the different shape of the wave shape, which makes the water shape much more diverse. In addition, even if hundreds of electronic nozzles are installed, each of the electronic nozzles can be easily controlled in a batch, and can be made simply when producing a basic pattern of water shape.

For example, when the opening time and the closing time are sequentially merged in the electron nozzle, the water flows out of the electron nozzle as shown in FIGS. Therefore, the appearance of the water is somewhat limited.

On the other hand, when the opening time and the closing time are sequentially given separately from the electron nozzle, respectively, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the shape of the stream of water emitted from each of the electron nozzles is not uniform. You can produce a look.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 11, in all swing systems in which the water flow is injected while the electronic nozzle repeatedly swings around the drive shaft by setting an arbitrary angle, the angle of the servo motor, which is the power source of the swing system, is perpendicular to the origin. This origin can be arbitrarily adjusted on a computer. That is, if the origin originally set by repetitive swing and mechanical inertia is out of the normal vertical point as shown in Fig. 10, it ignores the origin specified in the motor driver and recognizes the value arbitrarily set by the computer as the origin to correct the position. As shown in figure 9, the origin can be quickly retrieved.
