Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a light-emitting diode (LED) light-emitting diode (LED)

More particularly, the present invention relates to a light guide marking light guide for a navigation light, and more particularly, it relates to a light guide marking light guide for a route marking, more specifically, The present invention relates to a light guide marking light guide device capable of achieving weight reduction and miniaturization through simplification and improving maintainability through a structure that can be easily charged at the time of discharge.

Generally, a buoy floating on the sea surface is moored at the sea to guide the route, or to mark structures, dangerous areas, etc., and such buoys are installed as light buoys so that they can be recognized at night.

In general, there are two types of navigation markers, fixed and floating, and generally the lighthouse or light buoys play the role of navigation markers.

Since the stationary type is fixed to the seabed ground, it is suitable as a navigation marking device because there is no displacement due to the difference between the tides. However, it is not suitable for installation in deep sea area. Floating type is cheap because of its low installation cost, and it has a dynamically advantageous structure due to low resistance against external force due to floating, and the displacement amount of the route marking device due to algae, digging and wind is large. In addition, since the installation depth is connected to the chain which is about three times as long as the tide gauge, when the floating navigation marking device is installed in a sea area such as the Yellow Sea in the Republic of Korea where the tide difference is large, a large amount of displacement occurs.

FIG. 2 is a photograph of a work process of replacing a battery in a conventional navigation marking apparatus, FIG. 3 is a photograph showing the construction of a conventional navigation marking apparatus as a block Fig.

In order to supply power to the name signer of such a route marking device, conventionally, the battery compartment is located at the lower part, so that the battery compartment is easily flooded due to typhoon or sea weather, . Particularly, when the battery is replaced, there is a problem that a safety accident such as an operator's hand pinching or a finger cutting accident occurs due to closing of the hatch of the battery compartment between the ship and the buoy or the bucket by the flow of the buoy.

In other words, the battery structure adopted in the conventional navigation marking device has a simple and uniform charging / discharging function, the battery chamber is located at the lower end, frequent flooding occurs, and a heavy lead acid battery is used to increase the natural discharge rate, The efficiency is low due to the low density, the large number of personnel is mobilized for replacement, and frequent human accidents occur. Therefore, maintenance is very difficult, and field workers are demanding improvement measures, and research is needed .
