Description

Lighting wind sock and weathercock using it

The present invention is a conical tube made of a wide air inlet and a narrow air outlet, so that the wind enters a wide air inlet toward the narrow air outlet toward the wind blower for the observer to visually observe the direction and intensity of the wind blowing and The present invention relates to a wind vane provided with a wind bag, and more particularly, to a light emitting wind bag equipped with an LED for easy night observation and a wind vane having the same.

The windsack is designed to give a visual indication of the direction and intensity of the wind. It is composed of a tunnel shape with a wide entrance and narrow exit for the wind to pass through. It is usually 30 ~ 50cm in diameter and 1 ~ 2m long. Made of lightweight cloth or waterproof cloth in size.

The windsack is equipped with a ring-shaped frame that always opens the entrance, and the wind direction and wind speed are visually measured by the direction and length of the tunnel made by the wind passing through the entrance to grasp the current wind condition. Done.

Therefore, windstacks are mainly used in places where wind speed and direction are important, such as airports, highways in windy places, and chemical plants where there is a risk of gas leakage.

The wind blows in the direction the sack points. The direction of the wind usually means the direction in which the wind blows, so the direction of the wind is the opposite direction of the windbag. For example, if the windsack points south, it means that the north wind is blowing. The strength of the wind can be seen from the angle relative to the fixed column. Wind swells in calm winds and blows horizontally in strong winds to predict wind strength.

Windbags are not equipment used for meteorological observations, but are safety devices that allow you to visually check the direction and intensity of the wind. Even if everything is mechanized and automated, it is a confirmation point necessary for safe operation because it is decided by the person at the last minute.

Wind stools currently used in airports, etc., illuminate lights or lights for easy visual observation of wind direction and wind speed at night. There are lighting lamps in the sack frame, and some are also attached to the top of the support as shown in the photograph of FIG.

These lights are designed to continuously illuminate the sack even if it is rotated according to the wind direction. For this purpose, the Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20- 259244 is to install a strut at the entrance of both ends of the runway, and to continuously install the stator to the strut, by hanging wind stool integrally formed with the fixing ring to the stator by wind In the wind direction and the like to grasp the shape of the changing wind bag to know the information of the wind direction and wind speed, a plurality of washers to be fitted to the fixed stand is installed, the bearing is fitted to the holder and positioned above the washer; It is fixedly mounted on one side of the bearing, but formed in the shape of C to fix the lower end to one side of the bearing and the upper bracket to the upper side of the fixing ring, and fixedly mounted on the other side of the bearing, but formed in the L shape of the lower end The inner bracket for fixing to one side of the bearing and fixing the upper end to the lower side of the fixing ring, A wind direction lamp with a lamp is proposed between the suspension and the breeze entrance.

Such a windsack lighting facility is difficult to maintain due to the complicated structure, and also has a disadvantage in that the installation place is limited because it can be used only in a place where electric equipment is perfectly equipped such as an airport.

Therefore, the object of the present invention can be easily observed with high accuracy even at night, the alarm can be prevented in advance by the occurrence of warning sound or flashing warning lights when a strong gust or strong wind occurs or both, and easy maintenance In addition, the present invention provides a luminescent wind sack that can be easily installed even in a place where electricity supply is not smooth.

The light emitting windsack 1 according to the present invention is equipped with an LED 2 or an LED assembly 3 so that the LED 2 is turned on by the power supplied at night to recognize the shape of the windstack 1 so that the Orientation and strength can be measured.

LEDs are made on the principle of emitting electrodes near the P-N junctions by making electrode terminals on both sides of the semiconductor where P-type and N-type junctions and applying voltage between the terminals. The light emission wavelength of the LED varies depending on the material and the concentration of the semiconductor crystal, and various colors are produced. LEDs have the advantage of being an environmentally friendly lighting device. Unlike most lights that use mercury, LEDs are not used as mercury and lead, so they are attracting attention as the next generation light sources. In addition, unlike light bulbs and fluorescent lamps, there is no filament or electrode, so the lifespan is more than 30 times longer and the energy efficiency is more than 18 times higher, which can reduce power by more than 70%.

In particular, LEDs are small and light, consume less power, have a long life span that lasts 100,000 hours, which is about 100 times greater than fluorescent lamps in one installation, and can produce various colors using the light emission wavelength of semiconductors. The high power can be obtained even at low current, and because the structure is simple, mass production is possible and inexpensive, and because it does not use filament like a light bulb, it is resistant to vibration and has a long life. It is a very suitable light source for lighting.

The windstack 1 of the present invention has a main body 11 having an inlet and an outlet so that the air can pass through the tunnel shape, the observer visually when the wind enters the inlet of the main body 11 and exits the outlet In the windsack to visually observe the direction and intensity that the wind is blowing,

An LED 2 or an LED assembly 3 is mounted to the main body 11 so as to be energized with electricity supplied from the outside.

2 to 4 show an embodiment light-emitting windsock according to the present invention.

The windstack 1 of the embodiment is mounted to the frame 12 at the inlet of the main body 11, the LED 12 or the LED assembly 3 is mounted to the frame 12. FIG. 3 shows that the LED 2 is mounted on the frame 12, and FIG. 4 shows that the LED assembly 3 is mounted on the frame 12.

The main body 11 of the luminescent wind sack 1 has a mouth and an outlet to allow the wind to pass therethrough and passes through the tunnel shape. The material may be a light cloth or a waterproof cloth. In addition to the cloth, it is not particularly limited as long as it is suitable for the purposes of the present invention as a natural or synthetic resin material which does not easily tear while blowing in the wind. The main body 11 is configured in a tunnel shape so that the inlet is wide and the outlet is narrow so that it does not easily fall out when the wind passes, it is preferable to flutter easily even in the light wind.

The frame 12 is mounted at the inlet of the main body 11 to always open the inlet so that the wind can pass at any time. The frame 12 has an arm 12a extending forwardly so that the main body 11 can be rotatably mounted to a post which will be described later, and at the end of the arm 12a, a bearing which is rotatably assembled to the post ( 12b) is stored.

The frame 12 may be made of a material that is light in view of the wind bag 1 and is strong enough not to be damaged when the main body 11 is fluttered, and that does not rust even when used for a long time. The material satisfying this is preferably a ring-shaped or band-shaped metal material, preferably a nonferrous metal material. Alternatively, synthetic resin may be used. The material of the frame 12 may be an optical fiber. The optical fiber has a flexible property while maintaining its rigidity, so that the optical fiber is deformed and not broken while maintaining the overall shape of the bag when the main body 11 is fluttered in the wind, and thus may be applied to the present invention.

Considering that the frame 12 is installed at the inlet of the main body 11, when the wind blows, the main body 11 is prevented from spreading horizontally. As shown in FIG. 9, it is preferable that one or two circular rings are connected. As shown in FIG. 7, a plurality of circular rings may be connected to the horizontal member 12c to be configured long, but this case is applied to the case of a large windstack (1). That is, the main body 11 is formed to have a long length is applied when the length of the frame 12 is relatively short.

If the frame 12 is formed horizontally long as shown in FIG. 7, and the main body 11 fluttering in the wind is short, the frame 12 extends horizontally even when the wind is not blown, as if the wind is blowing. Because it can be mistaken.

As shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of LEDs are mounted to penetrate the frame 12 so that light can be seen from the outside, and each LED is connected to a power cable C.

In addition, the LED 2 may be installed to penetrate directly through the fluttering body 11 as shown in FIGS. 8 to 10 to easily distinguish the main body 11 fluttering in the wind. Thus, when the main body 11 equipped with the LED 2 flutters in the wind at night, many of the LEDs 2 mounted on the main body 11 also move together, so when viewed from a distance, the overall bright object, that is, the bright sack 1 Because it flutters in a horizontal state, it is easy to observe the wind direction and the wind speed even in the distance at night.

The LED 2 directly installed in the main body 11 may be any number and the number of parts which can easily grasp the shape of the windsack 1 visually by the light of the LED 2 at night, and are not particularly limited.

When the LED 2 is mounted on the main body 11, an adhesive surface surrounding the substrate 31 on the inner side of the main body 11 so that the LED 2 does not randomly escape when the main body 11 is fluttered by the wind ( It is preferable that 11a) is formed. Here, the substrate 31 of the LED 1 mounted on the main body 11 is made compact in correspondence with the LED 2.

The adhesive surface 11a may be an adhesive, and a separate thin material may be attached to the inner surface of the main body 11 by using an adhesive.

As described above, it is possible to mount the LED 2 on the fluttering main body 11 as described above because the LED 2 is resistant to impact without filament and has low power consumption and brightness. Therefore, the conventional lighting apparatus using the filament is not applicable to the present invention.

On the other hand, the LED assembly 3 of the present invention is installed in close contact with the frame 12 as shown in FIG. The LED assembly (3) is configured in a ring shape, the substrate 31 on which the LED (2) is mounted; An LED (2) electrically connected to the substrate (31); And a switch 32 for turning on / off the LED 2.

The LED assembly 3 configured as described above has an advantage of convenient assembly because the substrate 31 is in close contact with the frame 12 in a state in which the LED 2 is mounted on the substrate 31. The switch 32 can be mounted at a suitable position of a post to be described later, and is used when the LED 2 is artificially turned on / off by commercial power.

The LED assembly 3 further includes an optical sensor 33 electrically connected to the substrate 31 and sensing light. The light sensor 33 detects light and when the light sensed at night by the control of the control unit 34 to be described later becomes less than a certain illuminance, the control unit 34 automatically lights the LED (2) and the predetermined illuminance or more When it is possible to configure an unmanned system that automatically turns off the LED (2) will be a desirable element. At this time, the switch 32 is always in the ON state.

In addition, the LED assembly 3 of the present invention accommodates the substrate 31 inside the frame 12 and covers the frame 12 such that the inside of the LED 2 that emits light is not exposed to the outside as shown in FIG. 5. 12d) can be configured to prevent rain water from entering. In this case, the waterproof member 12e may be further accommodated between the accommodated substrate 31 and the lid 12d.

The power source used in the above embodiment uses commercial power. That is, if the selected power source for home, industrial, and agricultural power is supplied to the place where the windbag 1 is installed, commercial power can be easily used.

In addition, the power source used in the above embodiment may use a stand-alone power generation means by self-power generation described later. This will be described in detail later.

The following describes the wind vane 50 using the wind bag 1 of the present invention.

The wind vane 50 according to the present invention is supplied with the LED (2) or the LED assembly (3) mounted on the strut 51, the main body 11 or the frame 12 is installed in the installation place as shown in FIG. The light-emitting windsack (1), which emits light by electricity and is rotatably installed on the support (51), a power supply unit (52) for supplying power to the light-emitting windstack (1), and supplied from the power supply unit (52). And a controller 34 having a switch for turning on / off the power.

The strut 51 is a pillar and rotatably mounts the windbag 1.

The strut 51 may be made of a single member, or may be made of a plurality of members so that height can be adjusted.

The strut 51 of the example shown is comprised so that three members of different diameters, ie, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd stage struts 51a, 51b, 51c can be assembled in multiple stages. In the connection method of the 1,2,3 stage struts 51a, 51b, 51c, the first stage column 51a is inserted into the second stage column 51b, and the two stage column 51b is 3 like a vehicle antenna. It is inserted into the complex column 51c, and the connecting section of the first and second stage columns 51a and 51b and the connecting portion of the second and third stage columns 51b and 51c pass through the bolt B to the nut N. When fastened, it is firmly fixed. Therefore, it is possible to selectively adjust the height of the strut 51 in accordance with the presence or absence of the first and second stage column (51a, 51b).

The thickness of the one column 51a has a diameter fitted to the bearing 12b attached to the arm 12a of the frame 12.

Of course, it is shown in the figure that the strut 51 of the present invention is composed of 1,2,3 stage column holders 51a, 51b, 51c, but is not limited to three stages, but three stages or less, or three stages or more. Of course, it can be configured as.

Since the luminescent windsack 1 has already been described, further description thereof will be omitted.

As described above, the power supply unit 52 may use commercial power, and may use independent power generation means using nature.

Commercial power can be used in a place where power is easily supplied, and a stand-alone power generation system is a system that generates power using nature such as solar light or wind power in a place where electric facilities are not provided.

In particular, since the stand-alone power generation means uses nature, it is a self-sufficient operation method that operates without receiving electric power supply from commercial power, that is, a wind bag that enables night observation in any place where commercial power cannot be supplied by the stand-alone power system (1). ) Has the advantage of being able to install the facility.

Examples of the stand-alone power generation means are a solar power generator 52a such as a solar cell, a wind power generator 52b including a windmill and a power generation motor, and the generators 52a and 52b may be used alone or in combination. .

The wind vane 50 of FIG. 11 illustrates that the solar power generator 52a and the wind power generator 52b are used together as the independent power generation means.

 The photovoltaic generator 52a is preferably placed on the support 51 at a position where the module (solar panel) absorbs the most sunlight for the longest time, that is, the top of the support 51, and the wind power generator 52b. ) Is preferably disposed at the position where the windmill rotates the most for the longest time on the support 51.

The electricity generated by the stand-alone power generating means in the wind vane 50 of the present invention is charged there through a terminal connected to the power storage means 53, the electricity stored in the power storage means 53 is via the control unit 40 It is supplied to the LED 2 or the LED assembly 3 of the wind bag 1.

The control unit 40 has a switch for turning on / off the electricity supply to the LEDs 2 by the optical sensor 33, so that the power storage means 53 stores electricity at night when the windstack 1 cannot be seen with the naked eye. The supplied electricity to the LED (2) or LED assembly (3) of the windsack (1) so that the movement of the windsack (1) can be visually recognized.

The light sensor 33 detects the illuminance of the light, and if the illuminance detected by the light sensor 33 does not reach the input illuminance, the switch supplies power to the LED 2 or the LED assembly 3 and inputs the illuminance. The switch will turn off the LED (2) or LED assembly (3). The power supply of the optical sensor 33 by the switch is a known technique.

Although not shown, the strut 51 may be provided with a current amount regulator, a DC-AC inverter, or the like, for adjusting the amount of current stored between the power generation means and the power storage means 53 in order to prevent overcharging of the power storage means 53. Since power storage means 53 such as a battery is a DC power supply, when using an AC load, it is necessary to install a DC-AC inverter for converting DC (AC) into AC (AC), but a DC load is used. In this case, DC-AC inverter is unnecessary.

On the other hand, the wind vane 50 of the present invention is equipped with an alarm means 54 for warning the wind gusts to the driver and the like installed on the road.

That is, a road adjacent to a gorge or a cliff or a road formed along a ridge may cause a driving car to be pushed down by the wind and fall into a gorge or a cliff if the wind blows severely, and the present invention may include a control unit to prevent such a fall accident. The wind speed sensor 54a is mounted to be connected to 34, and an alarm means 54 including a speaker 54b or a warning lamp 54c or both of which generates an alarm sound is further mounted.

Since the wind speed that is an alarm standard is input to the controller 34, when the wind speed detected by the wind speed sensor 54a becomes equal to or higher than the set wind speed, the speaker 54b automatically alerts the user by the operation of the controller 34. If a beep or warning beacon 54c is flashing or both of them are activated, the driver recognizes that the gusts are blowing and stops the car in a safe place on the road to stop driving until the gusts are released. It can be prevented in advance.

Wind swept (1) and the wind vane (50) using the wind sack (1) configured as described above is supplied to the LED (2) using the power generated in the power generation or independent power generation means, the wind by the power supply The plurality of LEDs 2 mounted on the main body 11 of the bag 1 move together with the main body 11 fluttering when the wind blows in a brightly lit state.

Therefore, the fluttering windstrip 1 can clearly see its shape even at night by the light-emitting LED 2, thereby allowing the observer to measure the wind direction and wind speed.
