Description

Bird prevention system using drive control device}

The present invention is a drive control device for repelling birds by repeatedly rotating the vertical support to the left and right in a drive control device consisting of a pair of power and other devices connected wirelessly and wired to both ends of the object to be protected from birds. It relates to device control methods and bird prevention systems for the same.

In order to secure ample sunlight and a wide open installation area, floating solar power generation systems, which install solar panels on the water surface of rivers, lakes, reservoirs, dams, etc., are being actively proposed and are leading to actual construction. However, whether it is a solar power generation system installed on the water or on land, a large number of birds land on the top of the solar panel and become contaminated with their excrement. Bird excrement contains a large amount of uric acid. Because it is contained, it corrodes solar panels and interferes with the incidence of sunlight, causing a decrease in power generation efficiency.

Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1899794 discloses a device for restricting birds' access to solar cell modules.

As shown in this technology, the floating solar power generation device 10 includes a plurality of solar modules 11, a support frame 12 for supporting the plurality of solar modules 11, and a support A floating body 13 is installed at the bottom of the frame 12 to float the support frame 12 above the water, and is removably installed at the top of the support frame 12 to prevent birds from approaching the solar module 11. It includes a bird access prevention device (14) that blocks it.

One side of this support frame 12 is rotatably coupled to the first rotating member 17 installed on the upper part of the connection bar 15. At this time, the support frame 12 is hinged so as to be rotatable to the first rotating member 17 and may be inclined at a certain angle with respect to the connecting rod 15. In addition, a plurality of mounting brackets 18 may be further installed at regular intervals on the upper part of the support frame 12 to stably mount the solar module 11.

The mounting bracket 18 may be made of C-beam in the shape of 'C' or 'ㄷ' to provide approximately support strength, but this is only an example and can be used to protect against external shocks applied to the solar module 11, such as strong winds, etc. In order to relieve the impact applied to the solar module 11, it may be made of elastic synthetic resin (rubber, etc.) or a wire-shaped compression spring.

The connection bar 15 interconnects a plurality of floating bodies 13 arranged at regular intervals in one direction, and the lower ends of the plurality of support frames 12 are rotatably coupled to the upper part thereof. This connecting rod 15 may be formed in a beam shape or a pipe shape.

The support frame 12 is preferably disposed inclined at a certain angle with respect to the water surface in order to allow as much light as possible to enter the solar panel 11 mounted on the top thereof. For this purpose, the support frame 12 is supported at a certain angle by the inclined support 16.

The upper part of the inclined support 16 is coupled to the support frame 12, and the lower part is rotatably coupled to the connection bar 15 through the second rotating member 19. At this time, the upper and lower sides of the inclined support 16 are rotatably coupled, so that the support frame 12 can be arranged to be inclined at an arbitrary angle. For this purpose, it is preferable that the upper part of the inclined support 16 is rotatably coupled to the support frame 12 and the lower part is rotatably coupled to the connection bar 15.

Although the second rotating member 19 is not specifically shown, the connection rod ( 15) can be combined to slide in the longitudinal direction. For example, the connecting rod 15 has a guide groove (or guide rail) formed on the side in the longitudinal direction, and the second rotating member 19 is provided with a defective protrusion coupled to the guide groove and follows the guide groove. It is possible to reciprocate in a straight line in the longitudinal direction of the connecting rod (15).

In the prior art described above, the wire support is fixed passively rather than actively responding, and the range is limited to the top of the array, which is a solar power generation facility, so it is possible to only partially prevent birds from accessing the solar module plate. It is impossible to prevent birds from sitting all over the solar module plate. In particular, in the case of offshore facilities without obstacles, keeping solar modules as slope-free as possible has the advantage of increasing power generation efficiency, so if there is no slope, the probability of birds being able to land on the solar module plate increases. The technology of the present invention is a cost-saving, eco-friendly, and semi-permanent technology that can actively protect the entire solar module plate from birds by detecting birds instead of the existing passive parts, and is widely used in airfields, orchards, fish farms, solar power generation facilities, and buildings. It is a bird prevention system that can be used in various places, such as

Figure 2 is a control structure diagram of a bird prevention system using the drive control device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the bird prevention system using the drive control device 100 of the present invention, a thin wire is used as a means of blocking the approach of birds,

The thin line is fixed and connected to the groove of the horizontal support 420 fixed in the horizontal direction on the upper part of the two vertical supports 430, and a spring device is connected to the groove of the horizontal support to pull the thin line and prevent the bird from colliding with it. It can act as a buffer when used.

The vertical support 430 of the drive control device 100 is located in a straight line in the horizontal direction of the object, and two vertical supports 430 are installed at the center at the beginning and end of the object to be protected from birds.

However, this installation range is not limited, and the number of drive control devices 100 can be increased or decreased by only one pair depending on the range of the target object.

The vertical support 430 is driven continuously or selectively. For example, in normal times when there are no birds, it can be stopped, and for continuous monitoring, it can be slowly rotated left and right using a very small time difference. If it is determined that a bird is approaching, the rotation speed of the installed motor 450 is increased. Increases the reciprocating speed of the vertical support 430 connected to the power conversion device 460.

Here, the vertical support 430 may be configured to increase and decrease vertically up and down without fixing the range to be protected from birds. In this case, there is no need to relate to the quantity of the object to be protected. That is, with only two vertical supports 430 installed, if it is judged according to the growth rate and area required by the object to which the bird approaches, the vertical supports 430 can be increased or decreased up and down according to the corresponding range, and drive control is also performed. The number of devices 100 can be increased and installed.

In addition, a plurality of vertical supports 430 may be installed, and a plurality of vertical supports 430 may be provided at different angles on one rotation axis, and the multiple vertical supports may be provided to alternately and sequentially move at a certain angle. .

The vertical support 430 configured in this way operates in pairs with the monitoring sensor 440 installed in the same direction. That is, the condition under which the vertical supports 430 installed in both directions are driven is when a bird's approach is detected by the monitoring sensor 440 installed in the direction facing the vertical supports 430 to be driven.

The condition in which the plurality of drive control devices 100 are driven simultaneously would be a case where birds are detected from both directions by the plurality of monitoring sensors 430.

In the bird repelling monitoring sensor 440 of the present invention, the above-described various types of monitoring sensors 440 are used as means for monitoring bird approach. An optical sensor is a device that monitors movement using light. Since this device is already a widely known technology, detailed description will be omitted.

The monitoring sensor 440 of the present invention is configured to detect the approach of birds from a 360° direction at an appropriate location according to the environment of the vertical support 430 and the target location to be protected.

Unlike the drive control device 100, the monitoring sensor 440 can be used while rotating as needed, so only one monitoring sensor 440 may be configured. The monitoring sensor 440 can be replaced with an ultrasonic sensor for distance detection.

Additionally, there is no need to install a monitoring sensor when continuously operating the drive control device.

When a bird approaches, the control unit 300 can adjust the left and right rotation speed of the vertical support 430 to block the bird's approach according to a program that recognizes the bird.

When there is no bird, it can be gently rotated left and right for a certain period of time. When a bird is detected by the monitoring sensor 440, the control unit 300 adjusts the rotation speed to determine that the bird is very close and turns the motor By increasing the speed of (450), the drive control device (100) is effectively performed to prevent birds from approaching.

In this way, in order to drive the vertical support 430 left and right, it is connected to a power converter 460 that reciprocates the rotation direction of the motor 450 left and right to adjust the angle according to changes in the range of the object to be protected or use the vertical support ( 430) adjust the length up and down.

A horizontal support 420 is formed on the upper part of the vertical support 430. The horizontal support consists of grooves that can connect one or more thin lines at regular intervals in the horizontal direction. This has the effect of reducing the number of left and right repetitions, and to environmentally protect birds, one or more thin lines are connected to a width of less than 10 cm, which is visually difficult for birds to approach, and protects the wings even if birds collide with the thin lines. It is also effective.

Analysis of birds' habits revealed that birds do not forcefully attempt to fly into gaps where they cannot fly. The gap is a gap (space) of 5 cm in height and 10 cm in width. The method that experts came up with using these characteristics of birds is the ‘5X10 rule.’ Dots or lines with a diameter of 8 mm or more are marked on the building windows using paint and stickers at 5x10 intervals. This way, the birds will think they can't get through and will fly around the window to avoid it. However, this rule should only apply outside buildings. This is because if you place a dot indoors, you cannot block the reflection of the outside scenery. In the case of transparent soundproof walls, there are also ways to reduce impact by hanging strings over 6 mm thick at 10 cm intervals or installing nets at an appropriate distance from the window. It is also good to utilize UV reflection and absorption patterns. Because birds, unlike humans, can see ultraviolet rays, this method is considered a good measure to prevent bird collision accidents.

Therefore, it is preferable that one or more thin lines are connected and provided with a width of less than 10 cm.

In the bird prevention system using the drive control device 100 of the present invention, solar cells and AC power are used as power sources, and AC power is converted to DC power using a converter. It is configured to collect sunlight through a solar module plate installed in a certain part and store the power in the battery 220 so that it can be used at night.

Figure 3 is a mechanical structural diagram of a drive control device that reciprocates the vertical support left and right according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The device in Figure 3 configures a monitoring device at the uppermost part of the vertical support 430, taking into account that fruit trees are mainly tall and birds mainly approach the upper part of the fruit trees, and a separate monitoring sensor 440 support is installed at the target. It can be installed in the center of . The battery 220 is configured at the top of the drive control device 100 so that it can be charged by receiving sunlight.

In addition, the present invention configures a direct current power source such as a battery in consideration of weather such as cloudy or rainy days when solar cells cannot be used.

The thin line, vertical support 430, motor 450, power converter 460, monitoring sensor 440, solar cell, and battery 220 of the invention are a control unit installed in a predetermined portion of the drive control device 100. It is driven by the control of 300.

As shown in FIG. 3, the bird prevention system using the drive control device 100 of the present invention is configured by connecting the vertical support 430 to the power conversion device 460, and the power conversion device 460 is connected to the motor 450. ) is configured by connecting to. The power conversion device 460 is configured to adjust the left and right angles of the vertical support 430. The vertical support 430 can be adjusted in height to suit the range of the object to be protected from birds.

For example, another support (not shown) is formed inside the vertical support 430, and the support inside is formed only with a hole for inserting a bolt (not shown), and is maintained in a fixed state, and is formed on the outside. Only the vertical support 420 is allowed to move up and down, so that the height can be adjusted by combining the external support with the internal support through the bolt insertion hole formed in response to the bolt insertion hole formed in the internal support.

In order to be able to control the rotational speed and time of the motor 450, it goes without saying that a microcomputer must be installed in the control unit 300 and programmed to enable adjustment according to the program.

Figure 4 is a diagram showing the mechanical structure of a power conversion device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the device of Figure 4, taking an orchard as an example, the fruit trees grow taller than solar power generation facilities, and considering that birds approach the upper part of the crop, the vertical support 430 is adjusted up and down and arranged. , the drive control device 100 is configured at its lower part.

Other structures are the same as shown in FIG. 2.

In the device of Figure 4, the drive control device 100 is installed at both ends of the object to be protected and rotates left and right in a semicircle, so that it has the appearance of a dome from the bird's perspective.

The monitoring sensor 440 is located at the top of the vertical support 430 and a separate support, and the drive control device 100 is placed at the center of both ends of the object to effectively repel birds.

The control unit 300 is a means of controlling the driving unit 400, the monitoring sensor 440, and the power supply unit 200, which are components of the present invention. When the approach of a bird is detected by the monitoring sensor 440, the driving unit 400 is controlled based on this. ) is controlled to rotate the vertical support 430 left and right.

In addition, as described above, the control unit 300 can quickly adjust the speed of gentle reciprocating rotation when a tidal current is detected and is set to operate for a certain period of time.

Looking at the structure of the power conversion device in Figure 4, a shaft connected to the groove of the vertical support is formed in a circular or straight rotating device that converts power to the motor. The axis serves to rotate while the lower part of the vertical support is fixed,

The groove in the center has a fixed axis somewhere on the circular rotating body and is connected to the groove of the vertical support. There is also a long groove at the top of the vertical support, and the groove at the top is connected to the horizontal support (410). The horizontal support is configured to allow horizontal movement according to the inclination of the solar module plate. As for the horizontal movement means, a rotating shaft with a ring connected to a thin line is connected to grooves of the horizontal support 410 fixed to both ends of the solar module array and connected to the groove at the top of the vertical support.

Figure 5 is a diagram showing an example of the movement of a vertical support according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Figure 5(a) shows the operation by setting it to operate for a certain period of time, and Figure 5(b) shows the state before operation by determining whether a bird is approaching the object to be protected through a surveillance sensor.

This operation is described in more detail as follows.

The left and right reciprocating drive means of the vertical support 430 uses a conventional motor 450, and the rotating motor 450 is connected to a power conversion device 460 for left and right reciprocating movement, and the power conversion device 460 The number of reciprocations of the vertical support connected to is driven according to the rotation speed of the motor.

First, power is applied to the drive control device 100. The power source may be AC power or DC power.

The control unit 300 drives the monitoring sensor 440 to detect whether there is movement of birds at a predetermined distance centered on the vertical support 430.

The signal detected by the monitoring sensor 440 is input to the control unit 300.

Therefore, the control unit 300 processes the detection signal transmitted and input from the monitoring sensor 440 to determine whether the bird is approaching the target to be protected.

As a result of the determination, if the bird is approaching the target, the control unit 300 generates a control signal to the driving unit and transmits it to the driving unit, so that the power conversion device 460 connected to the motor 450 is driven and the power conversion device ( The vertical support 430 connected to 460) is rotated left and right.

Meanwhile, the bird prevention system consists of two drive control devices. Each drive control device detects the movement of birds by the monitoring sensor 440, and the drive units of the drive control devices 100 on both sides are wired and wireless. It is connected to operate the vertical support 430 at the same time.

It can be seen from the photo of the moment of landing in Figure 3 that the horizontal direction of the bird is long when it is flying and the bird's direction is long when it lands.

A horizontal support 420 is connected to the upper part of the vertical support 430, and a wire is connected to an electric pole. The horizontal support 420 is configured to extend one or more thin lines in the horizontal direction at regular intervals that birds cannot access. There is a home that can be connected. This has the effect of reducing the number of left and right repetitions, and to protect birds, one or more thin lines are connected with a width of less than 10 cm, which is visually difficult for birds to approach, and even if birds collide with the thin lines, several thin lines act as a buffer. This also has the effect of protecting the wings of birds. also

Horizontal supports 410, which can be used together or separately in a dome-shaped and horizontal form, are installed on both structures of the object to be protected by being connected to the vertical support, and a drive control device is installed to prevent birds from sitting by touching only the legs of the birds. Controlled bird defense system.
