With industrial and urban development, the emissions of factory wastewater and household sewage have been continuously increasing, and the marine pollution has also increased, leading to the destruction of the ecological environment.

With the emergence of such marine pollution severity, it is necessary to constantly measure the extent of marine pollution in order to prepare for immediate measures against marine pollution.

In recent years, in order to measure the pollution of the ocean, samples are collected through continuous observation of the ocean, and they are transported to the laboratory, and the pollutants are extracted and refined through chemical analysis using expensive equipment.

However, the method of measuring marine pollution involves collecting samples through manpower. Using these quotations, it is difficult to collect samples in the event of various natural disaster requirements, resulting in inefficiency and increased costs due to manpower management.

In addition, it takes a long time to obtain the result of the marine pollution, and there is a problem in that it is delayed in the ocean where the pollution has already occurred, and the cost for measurement of marine pollution is increased due to the chemical analysis using expensive equipment .

Accordingly, various techniques for measuring the degree of contamination at all times have been developed in order to provide an immediate measure against marine pollution.

As one of various technologies for measuring marine pollution, a water pollution monitoring system is disclosed in Patent Publication No. 10-0682127.

FIG. 1 is a view showing an example of a conventional water pollution monitoring system, and is configured to detect various types of contamination through various sensors including a DO sensor, a temperature sensor, a COD sensor, an SS sensor, a pH sensor, and an EC sensor.

However, in the conventional water pollution monitoring system, various sensors are provided to detect various types of contamination. However, it is difficult to configure the water pollution monitoring system by changing the configuration of the sensor depending on the type of pollution at the place where the pollution measurement sensor is installed. There is a problem in that the efficiency due to use is lowered.

In addition, when the battery of the measuring apparatus is replaced or a problem such as various faults or errors occurs, there is a problem in that it is difficult to check the state of the measuring apparatus in a state where the water and the sensor are in contact with each other, .

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an installation method of a marine pollution measurement sensor according to the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a view illustrating an example in which a plurality of sensor modules are installed through a method of installing a marine pollution measurement sensor according to the present invention.

First, the integrated control system 10 and the sensor module 20 will be briefly described. The integrated control system 10 is installed on the ground and communicates with at least one sensor module 20 provided in the water, Means to receive information on marine pollution from the sensor module 20 and to process the information.

At this time, the integrated control system 10 may be provided in the form of a terminal, and may be formed as a separate reader for use in various application services.

The term " terminal " means that a terminal and a reader can communicate with a sensor module 20, which will be described later, through a communication network, and means a device capable of at least one communication among Internet communication, voice communication, data communication, do.

For example, a desktop computer installed in a control facility, a smart phone, a tablet PC, or a PDA.

As described above, the integrated control system 10 may include various devices and systems in which a communication network is formed, and may have any structure as long as it can communicate with the sensor module 20 within a predetermined distance. Of course.

A method for installing a marine pollution measurement sensor according to the present invention includes installing a plurality of sensor modules 20 capable of wireless communication between the sensor module 20 and the wireless communication or integrated control system 10 and the sensor module 20, Which can measure marine pollution through various sensors 200 and includes a preparation step S10, a coupling step S20, a fixing step S30, a shipping step S40, and an installation step S50, do.

The preparation step S10 includes a plurality of sensor modules 20, and a plurality of sensor modules 20 can be installed on a large-area ocean.

At this time, it is preferable that the configuration of the sensor 200 is different according to the kind of contamination to be measured by installing the sensor module 20 in the course of providing a plurality of sensor modules 20, Accordingly, it is possible to selectively use the sensor 200 according to the environmental requirement to be measured, so that the use of the unnecessary sensor 200 can be minimized.

If the sensor module 20 is installed in the sensor module 20, it is determined whether the sensor module 20 is wirelessly communicated with the sensor module 20 before the sensor module 20 is installed in the ocean, It is preferable to check in advance whether or not the wireless communication between the wireless communication apparatuses 20 and 20 is performed well.

The connecting step S20 is a step of connecting the plurality of sensor modules 20 to the joint part 500 with each other.

3, the plurality of sensor modules 20 are connected to each other by the joint portion 500, so that a plurality of sensor modules 20 installed on the bottom of the ocean are connected to each other And can be installed so as to be spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance.

Preferably, the first sensor module 20 is coupled to one side of the joint part 500 while the other end of the joint part 500 is connected to the ground It is of course possible to be installed to be fixed.

The first sensor module 20 is fixed from the ground by the joint part 500 in the process of installing the plurality of sensor modules 20 so that a plurality of sensor modules 20, The first sensor module 20 may be installed at a predetermined interval based on the first sensor module 20.

Here, the joint part 500 is preferably made of a material having a low elastic force, and may be formed of a rope or the like that is firmly connected to the sensor module 20 without being easily broken, A plated wire rope having a predetermined strength without sintering, and the like.

According to the design conditions, if a plurality of joints 500 connecting the pair of sensor modules 20 are provided, it is preferable that the joints have the same length. May be provided to have various lengths in consideration of the area.
