In general, residential areas, roads, factories, etc. located in the lowlands of cities or rural areas are subject to flood damage during the rainy season or heavy rain. In the event of such occurrence, the management office receives the primary weather notification from the central control agency and delivers it again, so it is not possible to prepare for heavy rains occurring within a short period of time, and most of the central control agencies provide weather information at the current time. As described above, since the weather information is also provided for a comprehensive area, it is not having a great effect on the actual disaster prevention against local extreme weather changes that may occur in a specific place as described above.

Patent documents 1 to 4 are disclosed as prior art related to the present invention, and the'automatic flooding alarm device' of patent document 1 reduces the risk of flood damage when there is a risk of flooding of houses or buildings due to heavy rain or reverse flow of sewers. It is designed to prevent human and property damage by warning in advance, but this is only a degree of alarming by measuring only a specific water level, so there is a disadvantage that it is not possible to obtain information on the water level that changes in real time.

In the case of flooding of a house by heavy rain at night, the'inundation alarm device' of Patent Document 2 can prevent damage to life and property by warning in advance of the danger of flooding, and simplify the structure so that it can be easily installed outdoors. In addition, it is possible to solve the problem of power supply by making it possible to produce and store electricity through sunlight, and it is possible to solve the problem of power supply.The pillar, outdoor flood detection sensor part, outdoor speaker part, outdoor warning light, solar cell and capacitor, outdoor control Although it is composed of boxes, it is simply a function of sending out an alarm sound when the water level is higher than a certain level, and there is a disadvantage in that information about the flood, that is, how much time remains to the dangerous water level, etc. .

The'speed-sensitive water level system for predicting the dangerous water level' in Patent Document 3 collects river information, calculates and compares and analyzes the collected information and accumulated information, and targets the compared and analyzed values. By predicting the water level of the river that will rise in the future, it is configured to induce safe evacuation to urban areas and users within the radius of the river, and to control the sluice gate provided in the river based on the comparatively analyzed value. However, this is limited to the use of predicting the dangerous water level of the river, so it has a disadvantage that it is difficult to apply it to roads located on low-lying areas of the city or in frequent flooding areas.

On the other hand, the'fine dust notification device' of Patent Document 4 includes a body part made of a square pillar shape, a case part on the upper part of the body part, a measurement part built into the case part, a display part, an LED part, an operation part, a communication part, and an energy collection part. Since the information on the concentration of the fine dust is displayed in multiple directions, a large number of personnel can effectively recognize the information on the concentration of the fine dust even in a large external space. Detailed information on fine dust, that is, the concentration of fine dust, and information on actions according to the concentration of fine dust, can be effectively transmitted.

The stainless steel curb 30 has a front surface 32 open in a mesh shape to allow the inflow and outflow of rainwater, and an inclined plate 34 inclined forward and downward is installed inside, and the inclined plate 34 is provided with a buoyant force. The first water level sensor (S1) operated by is installed.

In this embodiment, it is shown that only one first water level sensor S1 is installed, but a plurality of the first water level sensor S1 may be installed on the swash plate 34 at different heights. In the case of multiple installations together, when the sensor on the lower side is detected, the water level is detected in normal rain, and when the sensor on the upper side is detected, it is used as initial information indicating that normal drainage is not performed or that the rainfall is increased. It can be utilized.

In addition, the stainless steel curb 30 is hinged at the rear end so that the upper surface 36 can be opened and closed as shown in the drawing to facilitate internal inspection, and the front surface 32 instead of the upper surface 36 can be opened and closed. May be.

In the drawings, reference numeral 37 denotes a handle provided on the upper surface 36.

The first water level sensor (S1) detects the water level in the initial rain. When the signal from the first water level sensor (S1) is detected even though the rainfall sensor 110 is not in a rain condition, the road side Since the sewage inlet of, that is, the steel grating (G; drain) is blocked with various impurities including fallen leaves, it is a signal that drainage is not smoothly performed.Therefore, the control box 40 transmits a notification signal to remotely clean the impurities.

In addition, when the first water level sensor S1 detects a rainfall state by the rainfall sensor 110, the first level of water level is normally sensed from this point on.

The second to Nth water level sensors (S2 to Sn) are installed at predetermined intervals up and down on the wall side of the interior of the enclosure 20 or on a separate vertical column, which is not shown, and these water level sensors are also first It uses a method operated by buoyancy in the same way as the water level detection sensor (S1) No.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the second to Nth water level sensor (S2 to Sn) has a different level of immersion in each installation location of the alarm device, and the inflow flow rate is also different, so that the rate at which water is filled is different. The installation height and installation interval of each water level sensor need to be set differently for each region.

The control box 40 detects the height between the first and second water level sensors (S1, S2) from the first water level sensor (S1) to the second water level sensor (S2). It measures the time spent on the water level sensor (Sn) and calculates the remaining time to the Nth water level sensor (Sn), and sends an alarm to the outside by voice and at the same time remotely transmits it. ) With respect to the height between the 2nd water level sensor (S2) and the 3rd water level sensor (S3). It recalculates and sends a voice alarm to the outside and transmits it remotely, and by repeating this process, the evacuation command signal until the water level is reached is transmitted step by step and more accurately to the water level sensor (Sn) of the final stage. As a result, it guides nearby pedestrians (including drivers) and residents to effectively evacuate to the safe zone.

The alarm means 50 can use a warning light to not only notify the alarm sound, that is, the time remaining until the water level of the final stage, in real time, as well as the siren signal, but also visually transmit a danger signal to the outside. The color is stepwise according to the detection signal of the water level sensor (S1~Sn), for example, blue when the first level sensor (S1) detects, and green when the second level sensor (S2) detects. , When the 3rd water level sensor (S3) detects, yellow, when the 4th level sensor (S4) detects, red, and when the Nth level sensor (S5) detects, it blinks in red. I can.

It is preferable to use an LED lamp for the above-described warning lamp, and it is necessary to install so that light can be emitted to the outside through the perforated hole 27 inside the enclosure 20.

The communication unit 60 wirelessly transmits information obtained from various sensors, that is, water level change and air pollution information, to a remote control room, etc., and obtains these information from the control room to control traffic or flood the location through a smartphone. By transmitting air pollution information to each individual, it not only provides disaster information, but also helps to prevent disasters.

It receives light and stores it in a deep cycle battery, maintains a minimum standby power consumption state in normal times, and uses most of the power only during heavy rains and rainy seasons. Operation is possible.

The fine dust detection sensor 90 measures the quantity and quality of fine dust contained in the air on the roadside, and the information on the quantity and quality of the measured fine dust also transmits auditory or visual information to the outside through an alarm means. It also transmits air pollution information to remote locations through the communication unit.

In the present embodiment, only the air pollution state by the fine dust detection sensor 90 is measured, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and various pollutants emitted from vehicles that are the main culprit of atmospheric temperature and humidity and other roadside air pollution are It goes without saying that various types of sensors for detection can be applied.

The ultrasonic sensor 100 starts an operation with a preset one of the water level detection sensors S to Sn installed in the enclosure 20, for example, S2, to detect the water level, and ultrasonically monitors the water level on the road. It is possible to obtain and transmit a more accurate actual water level in real time through the contrast with the water level measured by the water level sensor.

In the embodiment shown in the drawing, the ultrasonic sensor 100 is installed outside the enclosure 20 to measure the water level on the road, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the water level inside the enclosure 20 It goes without saying that it may be installed on the inner upper part of the enclosure 20 so that the change can be measured.

As described above, since the flood warning device according to the present embodiment can be installed at the existing road boundary, it does not occupy a separate space and does not interfere with the passage of vehicles or pedestrians. Information such as information can be obtained and notified to the outside or transmitted remotely.It is installed in a low-lying area or in a flooded area to inform the outside by visual or audible signals of the remaining time until the dangerous water level in rainy weather and transmit it remotely to damage people and property. It has an effect such as being able to minimize the value.
