Next, the water tank monitoring method using the water tank monitoring system according to the present invention will be described in more detail.

First, a water tank monitoring method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6.

Figure 5 is a block flow chart illustrating the progress of the water tank monitoring method according to an embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 6 is a flow chart illustrating the progress of the water tank monitoring method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the water tank monitoring method of the present invention is based on a water tank monitoring system built to monitor the state of the water tank.

Here, the water tank monitoring system includes a sensor unit provided to measure the water temperature in the water tank and the temperature of the area where the water tank is installed, a control unit connected to the sensor unit and provided to calculate the deviation value between the water temperature and the air temperature, an input unit, It includes a service server and notification means in communication connection with the control unit.

The water tank monitoring method (S1000) includes a standard information acquisition step (S10), a temperature information acquisition step (S50), a deviation value calculation step (S60), an information calculation step (S70), a risk potential information generation step (S100), and a risk potential step. It is characterized by including an information output step (S110).

First, the reference information acquisition step (S10) is a step in which reference information for determining the abnormal state of the water tank is input.

Here, the reference information may include one or more values selected from among the reference water temperature, the reference air temperature, and the reference temperature deviation value representing the difference between the reference water temperature and the reference temperature, which is the basis for generating the risk possibility information.

And, the temperature information acquisition step (S50) is a step that proceeds after the reference information acquisition step (S10) and is a step in which temperature information including the water temperature and air temperature is acquired from the control unit through the sensor unit.

Here, the temperature information may include air temperature information and water temperature information acquired through the sensor unit. In particular, the control unit transmits the acquired temperature information to the service server, and then the service server provides it to the notification means. Finally, the temperature information may be output from the notification means.

And, the deviation value calculation step (S60) is a step performed in the control unit after the temperature information acquisition step. The control unit receives the temperature information acquired through the sensor unit, and determines the water temperature and air temperature constituting the temperature information. The deviation value is calculated to generate the water tank temperature deviation value.

And, the information calculation step (S70) is a step performed in the control unit after the deviation value calculation step (S60), and more specifically, the water tank temperature deviation value and the reference information generated by the control unit through the deviation value calculation step. This is the stage where comparison is performed with the reference information acquired in the acquisition stage (S10).

In particular, the information calculation step (S70) compares the water tank temperature deviation value generated through the deviation value calculation step (S60) with the reference temperature deviation value of the reference information, and the water tank temperature deviation value is the reference temperature deviation value. Proceeds to determine whether it is outside the scope.

In particular, when the control unit determines that the water tank temperature deviation value is outside the reference temperature deviation value, an out-of-range signal is generated and transmitted to the service server.

And, when it is determined that the water tank temperature deviation value does not deviate from the range of the reference temperature deviation value, the temperature information acquisition step (S50) can be performed again.

And, the risk possibility information generation step (S100) is a step that is performed through the service server after the information calculation step (S70).

In particular, the risk information generation step (S100) is to generate risk information, which is information indicating that the temperature in the water tank may exceed the survival temperature of the fish according to the result of the information calculation step (S70). It goes on.

Then, after the risk information generation step (S100), the risk level is determined by dividing the risk information into at least one level based on the water tank temperature deviation value calculated by calculating the deviation between the current water temperature and the current temperature. The risk level determination step (S110) that generates information can be additionally performed.

In particular, when the risk level determination step (S110) is in progress, the signal output method in the notification means including the user terminal may be converted and output in the risk possibility information output step (S120) to be described later, which is described below. Let me explain in more detail.

And, the risk potential information output step (S120) is a step that proceeds after the risk potential information generation step (S100), and is a step in which the risk potential information is transmitted and output from the service server to the notification means.

In particular, when the risk possibility information output step (S120) is performed after the risk level determination step (S110) described above is performed prior to the risk possibility information output step (S120), the risk information output step (S120) is performed, The output method of risk potential information is forcibly converted and output.

For example, the output method of the user terminal may be converted from a vibration signal output method to one or more output methods selected from an optical signal output method and a sound signal output method.

In addition, the optical signal output method can be converted to any one or more output methods selected from the vibration signal output method and the sound signal output method, and the sound signal output method can be converted to any one or more signals selected from the optical signal output method and the vibration signal output method. It can be converted into a method and proceed to output the risk possibility information.

Next, a water tank monitoring method according to a first additional embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8.

Figure 7 is a block flow chart illustrating the progress sequence of the water tank monitoring method according to the first additional embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 8 is a flow chart illustrating the proceeding sequence of the water tank monitoring method according to the first additional embodiment of the present invention. am.

The water tank monitoring method according to the first additional embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that it is carried out based on a water tank monitoring system further including a temperature control unit.

As shown in Figure 7, the water tank monitoring method according to the first additional embodiment of the present invention further includes a temperature controller performance calculation step (S20), and compared to the water tank monitoring method according to the above-described embodiment, the As the process is the same except for the temperature control performance calculation step (S20), the information calculation step (S70), and the risk potential information generation step (S100), detailed descriptions of overlapping content are omitted for the sake of concise explanation. Let's do it.

First, the temperature control unit performance calculation step (S20) is performed to calculate maximum performance information, which is information indicating the maximum performance of the temperature control unit installed in the water tank, through the control unit.

More specifically, through the input unit, performance judgment standard information and a temperature matching signal are input to generate risk possibility information based on the temperature control unit 400.

In particular, the performance judgment standard information is information that serves as a standard for measuring maximum performance when the temperature controller is used in a water tank containing water, and the target temperature is a temperature value that serves as a standard for measuring the performance of the temperature controller. Can contain values.

And, the temperature matching signal is a control signal for matching the water temperature with the temperature of the installation space where the water tank is installed.

Describing the temperature control unit performance calculation step (S20) in more detail, after transmitting the temperature match signal to the control unit 200, the control unit transmits the temperature match signal to the temperature control unit to determine the water temperature and The temperature control unit is operated to match the temperature.

Thereafter, when the water temperature and air temperature are matched, the temperature control unit 400 is operated at maximum output to change the water temperature to the target temperature value of the performance judgment standard information input through the input unit 300.

At this time, the control unit 200, which has received the temperature match signal, is connected to communication with the temperature control unit 400 and generates maximum performance information, which is information indicating the maximum performance of the temperature control unit 400 when installed in the water tank. I do it.

Thereafter, the control unit 200 receives the water temperature and air temperature from the sensor unit 100 after generating the maximum performance information, and adjusts the water temperature to a preset value through the temperature controller within a predetermined time based on the maximum performance information. It will be determined whether the water temperature can be restored.

Thereafter, when the control unit 200 determines that the temperature control unit cannot return the water temperature to the preset temperature, the control unit 200 generates a return impossible signal and transmits it to the service server (S).

In addition, the information calculation step (S70) is performed after the temperature controller performance calculation step (S20), and the water temperature is returned to the preset water temperature through the temperature controller within a predetermined time based on the maximum performance information. We proceed to determine if it is possible.

At this time, the preset water temperature represents the water temperature at which fish stored in the water tank can die.

More specifically, when the information calculation step (S70) is in progress, when the control unit determines that the temperature control unit cannot be restored to the preset water temperature within the preset time, a return impossible signal is generated to provide the service. It is sent to the server side.

Here, the preset time represents the time from the time when the water temperature of the water tank outside the normal water temperature range is confirmed to the limit at which fish in the water tank can survive when the water temperature of the water tank is maintained.

And, in the step of generating risk information (S100), the service server receives the non-return signal, generates risk information based on it, and transmits it to the notification means.

First, the reference information acquisition step (S10) is a step performed through the input unit, and serves as a standard for determining that the amount of water discharged from the circulation pump unit is in a normal state, and the self-power generation unit constituting the circulation pump unit Proceeds to collect standard power generation information, which is information indicating the amount of power generated.

In addition, the power generation information acquisition step (S30) is a step that proceeds after the reference information acquisition step (S10), and the current power generation information is received from the control unit by receiving a power generation signal generated through a self-generating unit that is communicated with the control unit. This is the step toward acquiring it.

More specifically, the control unit receives a power generation signal generated during power generation from the self-generating unit and obtains current power generation information, which is information indicating the amount of power currently generated by the self-generating unit.

In particular, the control unit may provide the current power generation information to the service server after acquiring the current power generation information acquired through the self-generating unit, and the service server provided with the current power generation information may provide the current power generation information to the notification means. The information may be transmitted so that the notification means outputs the current power generation information.

In the subsequent information calculation step (S70), the control unit compares the current power generation information with the reference power generation information.

More specifically, in the information calculation step (S70), after receiving the current power generation information from the control unit, it is compared with the reference power generation information, and the power amount of the current power generation information is lower than the power amount of the reference power generation information. In this case, an abnormal signal for generating the risk possibility information is generated and transmitted to the service server.

Subsequently, after an abnormal signal is generated and transmitted to the service server through the information calculation step, the risk potential information is output through the notification means through the risk potential information generation step and the risk potential information output step.

Proceeds to calculate at least one piece of water temperature change information indicating the amount of water temperature change indicated by the water temperature.

In addition, the risk information generation step (S100) is performed to generate the risk information when the water temperature change calculated in the water temperature change prediction step is outside the preset standard change amount.

More specifically, the risk information generating step (S100) may include a first risk potential information generating step (S101) and a second risk potential information generating step (S102).

In particular, the first risk possibility information generation step (S101) is performed after the water temperature change amount prediction step (S90), and as described above, when the water temperature change amount calculated in the water temperature change amount prediction step is outside the preset standard change amount. Then, the process proceeds to generate first risk possibility information, which is information indicating that the amount of change in water temperature predicted by the service server deviates from the standard amount of change.

And, the second risk possibility information generation step (S102) is a step that is performed after the information calculation step (S70) performed by the control unit after the deviation value calculation step (S60) described above.

More specifically, the second risk possibility information generation step (S102) is performed after the control unit compares the water tank temperature deviation value performed in the information calculation step (S70) with the reference information.

In particular, if it is determined in the information calculation step (S70) that the water tank temperature deviation value is outside the reference temperature deviation value of the reference information, an out-of-range signal is generated and transmitted to the service server.

Afterwards, the second risk possibility information generation step (S102) is performed, and the service server that has received the out-of-range signal generates a second risk possibility, which is information indicating that the water tank temperature deviation value is outside the reference temperature deviation value. information is generated.
