Hereinafter, a specific embodiment of a flight drone detection apparatus and a flight drone monitoring system using the same according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The flying drone detection device 10 (hereinafter, abbreviated as 'detection device') shown in the drawing may be configured in various forms such as a rod-shaped rod or box shape, a cylinder, or a cone-shaped cone shape shown in the drawing. It is more preferable that it can be independently and independently installed on the ground, and the weight is relatively light, so that the user can easily handle it.

FIG. 1 is an external view of a sensing device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 briefly illustrates a main block diagram of the sensing device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in Figure 1 and 2, the sensing device 10 according to the present invention is configured so that the main body 12 consisting of a constant size and height can be built in a stable posture on the ground, the lower portion as shown It is more preferably configured to be made wider or larger than the upper end to stand while maintaining a stable posture on the ground.

In particular, the upper end of the main body 12, the flying drone flies to the upper portion of the detection device 10 and when a predetermined time turning a detection sensor 20 is installed to detect the drone, the detection sensor 20 Is sufficient to have a sensing performance of a certain sensing section that can detect a drone flying at a certain height on the upper part of the sensing device 10, the type of the sensing sensor may be configured in a variety of ways and types of sensors It is desirable to configure the ultrasonic sensor which is relatively inexpensive and easily available in the surroundings.

And, if one side of the main body 12 detects the drone flying in the detection sensor 20 provided on the upper end of the main body 12, the flight altitude display unit for displaying the detected flight altitude divided by a predetermined section (16) is provided so that the coordinator who controls the drone remotely or the supervisor who monitors or evaluates the drone coordination ability can easily grasp the drone's flight altitude visually.

The flight altitude display unit 16 is to distinguish the low, appropriate, high degree of the flight altitude of the drone according to the set program, so that the light source of a constant illuminance is turned on so that the flight altitude can be easily grasped by the naked eye from afar. The altitude display unit 18 and the sound output unit 19 may further include a sound output unit 19 to turn on a light source determined to be appropriate for the altitude of the flying drone at the same time as the flight altitude display unit 18 to output a constant sound.

For the operation of the flight altitude display unit 16, the sensor 20 of the main body 10 detects the flight altitude of the drone, and the flight altitude display unit 18 of the corresponding area is displayed according to the identified altitude. It consists of a configuration provided with a microprocessor 15 (Micro Computer Unit (MCU)) to control.

The flight altitude display unit 18 may be configured to identify and determine the precise drone flight altitude by dividing into several sections according to the accuracy of determining the flight capability of the drone, and the reference set using the LEDs of different colors It may be configured to express a state lower than the altitude, or appropriate or high respectively.

For example, the reference altitude of the drone flying from the upper end of the sensing device 10 is determined to be the most appropriate, set the reference altitude to 3 ~ 4.5M, and if the lower than 3M lower than the reference altitude set to low, higher than the reference altitude If the program is higher than 4.5M, the program is set to High. If the LED is within the standard altitude, the green LED is turned on. If it is lower than the standard altitude, the red LED is lit. If the altitude is higher than the standard altitude, the yellow LED is lit. It is easy to visually determine whether the drone is flying at a proper altitude from a long distance.

In other words, in the conventional case, whether the drone is located within the proper area at the upper part of the mark at the specific point is roughly identified by the naked eye or the movement of the brush attached to the upper part of the mark. However, the accuracy of the up-down relationship between the mark and the drone The decision was difficult.

However, the present invention is to determine the flight altitude only for the drone flying within a certain area through the detection sensor 20 provided in the sensing device 10, the flight altitude of the drone is also classified by a predetermined section Since the flight altitude is identified, drone flight control ability according to the difference in flight altitude can be accurately measured.

There is provided a wireless communication module 14 to enable.

That is, since the test site for testing or evaluating the flight control ability of the drone is composed of a flight path having a predetermined shape and section while maintaining a predetermined interval between the plurality of sensing devices 10 as shown in Figure 4, The drone coordinator will fly the set detectors in order (No. 1 to No. 6) and pass the flight recognition and altitude detection process from each detector to the final detector to evaluate or test the drone's flight control capability. Will be paid.

Therefore, in the process of passing through the upper portion of each sensing device 10 to determine whether the drone flying in the sensing sensor 20 provided in each sensing device 10 while maintaining a proper altitude, and the detection sensor ( When the flight drone is detected by 20), the flight altitude is displayed on the flight altitude display unit 16, and at the point passing through the corresponding detection device, it is possible to determine whether the drone is appropriate to fly at every moment, but a plurality of detection devices are continuously connected. In this case, the drone coordinator or supervisor has difficulty in comprehensively determining whether or not the drone is appropriate for the entire sensing device. Therefore, the present invention provides a method in which the drone sensing signals detected by the plurality of sensing devices are separately constructed. It is sent to the central control server and displayed on the monitor or displayed as a record so that the supervisor or manager can check if the drone is appropriate for the entire route. Easily it is able to determine.

At this time, when the drone flying in each sensing device is moved and positioned within the measuring area of the sensing device, the drone sensing sensor provided in the main body of the sensing device senses the altitude of the drone and is provided on one side of the main body through the main body side microprocessor. Through the flight altitude display section, the flight altitude of the corresponding drone is led through the flight altitude display section, and the LED light source is turned on so that the drone coordinator and the separate supervisor can visually check the drone's flight status.

In addition, the signal detected by the flight drone in each sensing device installed in the drone aerodrome is transmitted to the central control server through the wireless communication module of each sensing device, the received information of each sensing device received by the central control server is the central control unit The data is processed through the virtual sensing device image on the monitor, the light is turned on, and whether the identification number and the reference altitude of the corresponding sensing device are determined and displayed on one monitor identification display unit of the monitor.

Therefore, the central manager can grasp the result of the drone coordinator's adjustment ability displayed on the monitor at a glance, and when the movement of the entire set flight path is completed, the detection signal recognized by each sensing device from the first to the last sensing device is completed.
