The water circulation unit 300 is installed to face the water surface along the center axis of the frame 100. The water is sucked and discharged by using the electricity generated through the solar power generation module 200 to forcibly circulate the water. In particular, in the case of the present invention, the discharge port through which the water is discharged can selectively control the discharging direction through remote control or according to the set logic.

A more specific configuration of the water circulation unit 300 will be described.

The water circulation unit 300 may include a suction pipe 310, an impeller 320, a discharge port 330, and an opening / closing unit 340.

The suction pipe 310 is installed upright along the center axis of the frame 100 to face the water surface and an impeller 320 is provided inside the suction pipe 310. The impeller 320 is connected to the motor 350 so that the impeller 320 can be discharged to the discharge port 330 after the water is sucked.

When it is necessary to move the apparatus of the present invention, And to achieve that goal. The movement of the apparatus using the water circulation unit 300 will be described later.

The remotely controllable water circulation apparatus according to the present invention includes a GPS module 400, a communication module 500, and an integrated controller 600.

The GPS module 400 is a means for providing current position information on the place where the water circulation apparatus is installed and provides current position information that is changed due to the nature of the present invention that can float on water. The position information provided by the GPS module 400 is transmitted to the integrated controller 600. [

The communication module 500 is a means for transmitting control commands for transmitting and receiving various kinds of information and for remote control and is capable of performing overall management and control of the apparatus at the control center 10, .

The wireless communication performed by the communication module 500 may be implemented using WiFi, and information such as various data to be measured including information related to operation of the apparatus may be transmitted to the control center 10 .

The integrated control unit 600 controls the operation of each component related to the overall operation of the apparatus, and can determine whether there is an abnormality through a comparison operation, execute information exchange with the control center, and execute the received control command .

Preferably, the remotely controllable water circulation apparatus of the present invention may be provided with a water quality inspection means 800, and may be installed at a predetermined position of the frame 100 so as to be immersed in water and acquire data So that water quality check is possible.

The water quality inspection means 9800 for water quality inspection measures BOD, COD, and the like, and the measured information is transmitted to the integrated control unit 600. The water quality inspection means 800 is to automatically perform periodic inspection according to the set period, and it is possible to measure water quality from time to time through a control command if necessary.

When the measurement value measured by the water quality inspection means 800 is transmitted to the integrated controller 600, a comparison operation is performed to determine whether the currently measured value is within a predetermined value range or not.

If the management item set as the water quality management item is out of the specified value, the water quality is determined to be polluted and the action is controlled to be performed accordingly. That is, if the water circulation unit 300 is in a stopped state, the water circulation unit 9300 is immediately operated to circulate the water so that the oxygen supply can be increased.

Preferably, the water quality inspection values measured by the water quality inspection means 800 are stored as data and transmitted to the control center 10 so as to be converted into a big data. In other words, it is necessary to understand the change of water quality throughout the year, and to organize the data related to the water quality of each day and the temperature and humidity of the day, so that the water quality change can be predicted and used as data for preemptive response.

In addition, the water-circulation device which can be remotely controlled according to the present invention can be utilized as a fractional water if necessary. An upward discharge port 360 for discharging the water sucked into the water circulation unit 300 is provided so that water can be sprayed upwards as needed to function as a fountain.

In order to achieve the fractional function, the discharge ports (330) of the water circulation unit (300) are closed so that the suctioned water can concentrate the upward discharge port (360) so as to be sprayed upward.

More preferably, the present invention may include an attitude control function for achieving an unbalanced balance when an unexpected inclination occurs.

A gyro sensor G is provided for the posture control function and the gyro sensor G is provided at the center of the frame 100 so that the frame 100 can be detected to be inclined beyond the reference range.

The water circulation device seen by the waves is continuously shaken, but if the tilting to one side is maintained for a long time, the overall balance is in a disordered state. In such a case, there is a need to control the posture control to maintain a proper balance.

The measurement values obtained by measurement of the gyro sensor G are transmitted to the integrated control unit 600. The integrated control unit 600 determines whether the posture control is necessary by comparing and analyzing the measurement values. If the present apparatus is determined to be tilted excessively beyond a predetermined reference value, the integrated controller 600 adjusts the vertical position of some buoyant bodies 700 of the plurality of buoyant bodies 700 to balance the overall balance The control operation is performed.

Each buoyant body 700 connected to the frame 100 for attaining attitude control by adjusting the vertical position of the buoyant body 700 may include a position changeable portion 710. Specifically, the position variable portion 710 may include a first rod 711 connected to the frame 100, a second rod 712 connected to the first rod 711 by a hinge, An actuator 713 connecting the middle of the first rod 711 and the second rod 712 and a buoyant body 700 coupled to the second rod 712.

 The actuator 713 is an element that can convert the rotational force of the motor into a linear motion. If the buoyant body is deeply locked down below the other part of the body and the overall balance is broken, Adjust the variable portion 710 to balance it. That is, when the second rod 712 is pulled by actuating the actuator 713, the inclined portion floats upward, and the balance is restored.

Since the remotely controllable water circulation apparatus according to the present invention is floated on water, there is a high possibility that the water circulation apparatus is moved by the influence of wind or the like. Since several water circulation devices may be installed in a single lake, each water circulation device should not deviate significantly from the area originally installed.

However, as time goes by, it will be out of the first installed point, so countermeasures are required. Please refer to Fig. 5 or Fig.

Preferably, when the remote controllable water circulation apparatus according to the first aspect of the present invention is installed in the lake, the installation coordinates (B) for the initial position are input to the integrated controller (600) (A).

The setting radius A can be set to a radius of 10 meters or the like based on the initial setting coordinates (B). When the water circulation device is out of the set radius A, it is recognized that the water circulation device is out of the normal position, so that the water circulation unit 300 can be operated and forced to move within the set range.

Preferably, it is preferable to control the water circulation device so as to be located near the initial installation point.

The GPS module 400 provided in the water circulation apparatus provides information on the current position to the integrated control unit 600 in real time so that the integrated control unit 600 automatically moves the water circulation device Is performed. Of course, in this case, the related information may be provided to the control center 10 so that the control of the discharge port 330 of the water circulation unit 300 is performed after receiving the command of the control center 10.

As described above, since the water circulation unit 300 of the present invention is provided with the plurality of discharge openings 330, when it is determined that the positional movement is necessary, only the specific discharge port 330 is opened so that the water can be discharged .

The position movement control is stopped when the position is moved near the initial installation point by the control of the discharge port 330.

Another position control scheme may allow for more immediate control. That is, when it is detected that the water circulation device is moved by the external environment, the discharge port 330 may be controlled so as to move in the opposite direction so as not to deviate from the setting radius.

To this end, the weather vane 900 is mounted on the frame 100, and when the water circulation apparatus of the present invention is moved by the wind, the direction of the wind provided by the weather vane 900 is controlled so as to prevent the movement thereof. So that water can be discharged in a direction opposite to the wind direction, thereby stably maintaining the original position.

When the wind direction information measured by the weather vane 900 is provided to the integrated control unit 600, the integrated control unit 600 controls the specific discharge port 330 through calculation taking the wind direction into account and simultaneously supplies water to the two discharge ports 330 And may be controlled to be discharged. That is, the water can be discharged through the two discharge ports by the vector operation.

As described above, the present invention has the advantage of being able to manage by remote control, and it is possible to control posture and position according to the situation, and to operate more efficiently by measuring water quality.

The remotely controllable water circulation apparatus according to the present invention can be utilized for preventing water quality deterioration in advance by being installed in a lake or the like.
