That is, the control unit 114 may control the operation of the first switch 123c and the second switch 123e to control the amount of supplied cooling gas.

For example, the controller 114 may compare the measured temperature of the first area with a preset first set temperature, and compare the measured temperature of the second area with a second set temperature having a value different from the first set temperature. . Since the appropriate temperatures at which the communication equipment 150 installed in the first area and the second area are used are different from each other, a set temperature can be set according to each communication device 150.

When the measured temperature in the first area is greater than the first set temperature, the control unit 114 controls the operation of the first switch 123c to supply cooling gas to the communication equipment 150 in the first area or to the first area. The amount of cooling gas supplied can be increased. When the measured temperature in the first region is less than or equal to the first set temperature, the controller 114 may control the operation of the first switch 123c to stop supply of the cooling gas. Accordingly, the temperature of the communication device 150 in the first region may be adjusted to be less than the first set temperature.

When the measured temperature in the second area is greater than the second set temperature, the control unit 114 controls the operation of the second switch 123e to supply cooling gas to the communication equipment 150 in the second area or to the second area. The amount of cooling gas supplied can be increased. When the measured temperature of the second region is less than or equal to the first set temperature, the control unit 114 may control the operation of the second switch 123e to stop supply of the cooling gas. Accordingly, the temperature of the communication device 150 in the second region may be adjusted to be less than the second set temperature.

Accordingly, temperatures in the first and second regions are individually adjusted according to the communication equipment 150, so that the communication equipment 150 can operate stably in the appropriate temperature range suited to each.

Also, the control unit 114 may be connected to the flow rate measurement unit 115. Accordingly, the control unit 114 may control the operation of the cooling gas supply unit 123 according to the flow rate of the supplied cooling gas. For example, the flow rates of the cooling gas supplied through the first line 123b and the second line 123d may be compared with a preset set flow rate, respectively. When the flow rate of the supplied cooling gas is greater than the set flow rate, the amount of supplied cooling gas can be automatically adjusted.

Accordingly, the control unit 114 may operate the fire extinguishing unit 129 of the floor where the fire occurs when at least one of the fire detection unit 118 and the camera unit 119 detects a fire. For example, when a fire is detected by both the fire detection unit 118 and the camera unit 119 to operate the fire extinguishing unit 129, the malfunction of the fire extinguishing unit 129 can be prevented. That is, even if a fire is erroneously detected due to damage to the fire detection unit 118, it is possible to determine whether the fire extinguishing unit 129 is operated by checking whether the actual fire has occurred through the camera unit 119.

On the other hand, the mast monitoring control device 110 may further include a hatch detection unit 113. The hatch detection unit 113 may be a contact sensor.

In addition, a plurality of hatch detection units 113 may be provided to be installed for each layer inside the body 130. The hatch detection unit 113 may be provided as many as the number of hatches. Accordingly, it is possible to detect whether the hatch installed for each floor is opened or closed through the hatch detection units 113. However, the manner in which the hatch detection unit 113 determines whether the hatch is opened or closed is not limited thereto and may be various.

On the other hand, the mast monitoring and control device 110 may further include a vibration shock detection unit 117. The vibration shock sensing unit 117 may be a sensor that detects vibration, and may be installed at a position capable of sensing vibration or shock applied to the communication equipment 150. Accordingly, when a shock or vibration is applied to the communication equipment 150, the vibration shock sensing unit 117 may detect it. Accordingly, it is possible to check the possibility of damage or damage to the communication equipment 150, and maintenance of the communication equipment 150 may be facilitated.

For example, in the case of an antenna among the communication equipment 150, it may be easily damaged or malfunction due to vibration or shock. Accordingly, in order to detect vibration or shock applied to the antenna, the vibration shock sensing unit 117 may be installed at a position close to the antenna. However, the object for which the vibration shock sensing unit 117 detects vibration or shock is not limited thereto and may be various.

That is, when it is sensed that the door 127 is closed when using the optical device 150a, the control unit 114 may open the door 127. When it is sensed that the door 127 is opened when the optical device 150a is not in use, the control unit 114 may close the door 127. Accordingly, the door 127 may be opened only when the optical device 150a is used, and the door 127 may be closed when not in use. Accordingly, when the optical device 150a is not in use, the door 127 is opened so that the lens of the optical device 150a may be contaminated or foreign substances may be prevented from being introduced.

Meanwhile, the control unit 114 may include a first controller and a second controller. The first controller is installed inside the body 130.

4 is a flow chart showing a method of operating an integrated mast according to an embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, a method of operating an integrated mast according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

A method of operating an integrated mast according to an embodiment of the present invention is a method of operating an integrated mast installed in a next-generation destroyer as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3. Referring to FIG. 4, the method of operating the integrated mast includes a process of measuring the temperature of the first area and the second area inside the integrated mast, the temperature of the first area and the temperature of the second area, respectively, with preset temperature ranges and A process of comparing, and if at least one of the temperature of the first area and the temperature of the second area is greater than the set temperature, supplying the cooling gas to the communication equipment installed in the area greater than the set temperature.

First, the temperature of the first region and the second region inside the integrated mast 100 may be measured. That is, the temperature can be measured by using the first temperature measuring unit 111 installed in the first area inside the body 130 provided in the integrated mast 100 and the second temperature measuring unit 112 installed in the second area. Yes (S110).

In this case, each of the first region and the second region inside the body 130 may have a plurality of layers. For example, two layers are formed in the first region and two layers are formed in the second region, so that a total of four layers may be formed inside the body 130. A plurality of first and second temperature measurement units 111 and 112 may be provided to measure temperatures of different layers. Therefore, it is possible to individually check the temperature of each layer.

Then, the temperature of the first region and the temperature of the second region may be compared with a preset temperature, respectively. For example, the controller 114 compares the measured temperature of the first area with a preset first set temperature (S121), and compares the measured temperature of the second area with a second set temperature having a value different from the first set temperature. Can be compared (S122). Since the communication equipment 150 installed in the first area and the second area have different appropriate temperatures to be used, the set temperature may be set differently according to each communication device 150.

When at least one of the temperature of the first region and the temperature of the second region is greater than the set temperature, the cooling gas may be supplied to the communication equipment installed in the region greater than the set temperature. For example, when the measured temperature in the first area is greater than the first set temperature (S131), the control unit 114 controls the operation of the first switch 123c to transfer the cooling gas to the communication equipment 150 in the first area. It is possible to supply or increase the amount of the cooling gas supplied to the first region (S141). When the measured temperature in the first region is less than or equal to the first set temperature, the controller 114 may control the operation of the first switch 123c to stop supply of the cooling gas. Accordingly, the temperature of the communication device 150 in the first region may be adjusted to be less than the first set temperature.

Alternatively, if the measured temperature in the second area is greater than the second set temperature (S132), the control unit 114 controls the operation of the second switch 123e to supply the cooling gas to the communication equipment 150 in the second area. Alternatively, the amount of cooling gas supplied to the second region may be increased (S142). When the measured temperature of the second region is less than or equal to the first set temperature, the control unit 114 may control the operation of the second switch 123e to stop supply of the cooling gas. Accordingly, the temperature of the communication device 150 in the second region may be adjusted to be less than the second set temperature.

In this way, the temperature of the first region and the second region can be adjusted differently according to the type of communication device 150 using. Accordingly, temperatures in the first and second regions are individually adjusted according to the communication equipment 150, so that the communication equipment 150 can operate stably in the appropriate temperature range suited to each.

Meanwhile, when cooling gas is supplied to the communication equipment 150 through the first line 123b or the second line 123d, the flow rate of the supplied cooling gas may be measured. The flow rate of the cooling gas can be measured by the flow rate measurement unit 115.

Then, the flow rates of the cooling gas supplied through the first line 123b and the second line 123d may be compared with a preset set flow rate, respectively. If the flow rate of the supplied cooling gas is greater than the set flow rate, it can be automatically adjusted by reducing the amount of supplied cooling gas. Therefore, it is possible to suppress or prevent the cooling gas from being supplied to the region to which the cooling gas is supplied and affecting the temperature of other regions.

In this way, it is possible to easily check and manage the state of the operating environment of the communication equipment 150 formed by the integrated mast 100. Accordingly, by checking the operating environment of the communication equipment 150 in real time, it is possible to maintain the operating environment in a state in which the communication equipment 150 can operate stably. Therefore, since the communication equipment 150 can operate stably, the reliability of operation of the communication equipment 150 can be improved.

As described above, in the detailed description of the present invention, specific embodiments have been described, but various modifications are possible without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited to the described embodiments and should not be defined by the claims to be described below, as well as by the claims and equivalents.
