Description

How to display buried pipe facility information {INFORMATION PROVIDING METHOD OF UNDERGROUND PIPE FACILITIES}

The present invention relates to a method for displaying facility information on buried pipes installed in manholes or buried underground. More specifically, the present invention relates to pipes or valves installed in manholes or buried with only the water side exposed for opening and closing the valve after pipe construction. This relates to a method of displaying buried pipeline facility information that allows users to easily register information and understand information more easily, accurately, and intuitively when checking facility information about buried pipelines in the field or on a map.

Generally, facilities such as city gas pipes, water and sewage pipes, heating pipes, and various valves to form national infrastructure are buried underground, and above ground are used to check information on the type and condition of these facilities or for maintenance. A manhole is installed to allow people to enter and exit, or a water stopper is installed to open and close the valve.

Information about typical underground facilities is provided in the form of information engraved on manhole covers or through manhole markers.

For example, in Korean Registered Utility Model No. 20 - 0315165, a step is formed along the edge of the upper surface of the manhole cover body, a ring-shaped sign member with a character display on the surface is fixedly installed on the step, and a fitting groove is formed in the center of the cover body. This is formed and constitutes a manhole cover having a detachable sign portion in which a sign is fixedly installed inside the fitting groove.

As another example, Korean Registered Utility Model No. 20-0437024 includes a manhole base portion, a middle cover mounted on the manhole base portion, and a manhole cover mounted on the middle cover, and a through hole is formed in the center of the manhole cover. There is a support part that is inserted into the through hole and has a bolt shape, and the support part is equipped with an RFID tag that is fixed so that the RFID tag internal part does not come into contact with the manhole cover, making it a safety device to acquire related information and perform maintenance and management tasks. Construct a manhole.

As another example, Korean Patent No. 10-1331873 includes a manhole cover body, a through hole formed to penetrate the manhole cover body up and down, a housing inserted and coupled into the through hole, and a plate-shaped slope chamfered along the edge of the upper surface. It is provided and stored in the housing, and constitutes a manhole cover with a built-in RFID tag, which stores the manhole's unique number and location information and includes an RFID tag whose embedded information is recognized by a portable terminal.

Korean Registered Utility Model No. 20 - 0315165 (2003.06.02) Korean Registered Utility Model No. 20 - 0437024 (2007.10.29) Korean Patent No. 10 - 1331873 (2013.11.21) Korean Patent No. 10 - 0834001 (2008.05.30)

As mentioned above, information on buried facilities such as city gas pipes, water and sewage pipes, heating pipes, and various valves is provided using manhole covers or manhole indicators due to frequent traffic of vehicles or the difficulty of opening heavy and tightly fitted manhole covers. It is made in the form provided.

The conventional technology using a manhole cover is made by engraving letters and shapes on the manhole cover to display them, but it has the disadvantage of only providing simple information, such as the type or direction of the pipe.

Therefore, recently, a manhole marker including an electronic tag has been installed on a random part of the manhole cover, and data such as facility information, such as the shape, depth, pipe diameter, and location information of the pipe, is stored in the electronic tag, and a portable terminal can be used in the field. It is done in a form that allows it to be provided through.

However, among buried pipe facility information, information such as the type and direction of pipes buried in underground facilities, and which pipes and how valves for opening and closing the pipes are installed, can be obtained on site simply by providing simple text or numerical information. Since it is not easy to determine accurately, there is a problem that may lead to malfunction or safety accidents.

In addition, when information about underground facilities is provided by displaying it on a map, as in the prior art, the location of the underground facility is limited to indicating the location of the underground facility as a simple dot on the map based on the information entered by the user, so, for example, the road becomes complicated. In sites where underground facilities are formed and installed in complex structures, it is very difficult to determine the buried form of the underground facilities, and there are many problems such as opening and closing the wrong valve.

Accordingly, the present invention was invented to solve the problems of the prior art as described above.

Electronic tags installed on manhole covers, lid frames, and water banks exposed to the ground, buried pipe information servers built in management agencies, and installed on the user's mobile device connect to the electronic tags and buried pipe information servers and provide information on underground facilities. In a method of displaying buried pipeline facility information by linking a buried pipeline information management app that has an interface for registering or confirming information,

An app execution step (S10) of tagging an electronic tag with the user's mobile device and running the buried pipeline information management app,

A burial type selection step (S20) of executing the facility information registration interface of the buried pipe information management app and selecting the burial type of the underground facility or the installation type of the valve;

A buried symbol loading step (S30) of executing the map module in the facility information registration interface and loading the buried symbol (30) for input of the buried type selected by the user at a basic angle on the current location of the underground facility;

The user selects the loaded buried symbol 30 for input and rotates the buried symbol 30 for input in the same direction as the buried type of the actual underground facility, referring to the road direction, building shape, and structure location on the map. A buried symbol rotation step (S40),

The buried pipeline information management app automatically calculates the rotation angle in the buried symbol rotation step (S40) from the basic angle of the input buried symbol (30) loaded in the buried symbol loading step (S30) to determine the current value of the buried symbol. A rotation angle calculation step (S50) of storing the position as numerical data,

It includes a buried symbol setting step (S60) of executing a map module in the facility information confirmation interface of the buried pipe information management app and setting a buried symbol (40) for output on the actual location of the underground facility,

In the buried symbol setting step (S60),

When a user requests buried pipeline facility information by tagging an electronic tag or running an app, the buried symbol for output (40) is automatically rotated by the current position and rotation angle numerical data of the buried symbol stored in the rotation angle calculation step (S50). By setting it to display the burial symbol 40 for output on the map in a direction that matches the actual underground facility and burial type, it is possible to achieve the goal of checking the burial type of the underground facility more easily, accurately, and intuitively at the actual site.

The present invention provides a buried pipeline facility information display method that allows users to easily register information on the buried type of underground facilities at a site where a manhole or sump is installed and to more easily and accurately determine the buried type of the pipe or the installation location of the valve in the actual site. Compose.

Therefore, the present invention has the advantage of being able to register and identify information more accurately in the field through the interface of the buried pipeline information management app, differentiating it from the conventional technology that provides buried pipeline facility information only with simple text or numerical information.

In particular, the present invention provides information on the buried form of facilities among buried pipe facility information by linking with a map module to provide more intuitive visualization of the buried form, so that, for example, underground facilities can be complex with various shapes and directions. Even at sites where structures are installed, the buried form of underground facilities can be more easily identified.

In addition, in the case of a manhole, you can open the cover and check the inside situation, but when the pipe is buried and there is only a sump on the ground, it is necessary to check whether the sump at the site is installed in the main pipe or a branch pipe. There is no way to obtain information. Therefore, the present invention provides the effect of providing accurate buried pipe facility information while solving these problems.

Hereinafter, the structure and operation of the preferred embodiment of the method for displaying buried pipeline facility information of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, detailed descriptions of parts that can be easily implemented by those skilled in the art may be omitted. In addition, since the following description describes the present invention with preferred embodiments, the present invention is not limited by the following examples, and it is natural that various modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. something to do.

Figure 1 is a flow chart of a method for displaying buried pipe facility information according to the present invention, Figures 2 to 6 are exemplary diagrams of the method for displaying buried pipe facility information according to the present invention, and Figure 7 is a flow chart showing buried pipe facility information according to the present invention. This diagram shows examples of six types of buried symbols used in the display method.

The method of displaying buried pipeline facility information to which the technology of the present invention is applied includes an electronic tag installed on a manhole cover, lid frame, or any part of the waterfront exposed to the ground, a buried pipeline information server built in a management agency, etc., and a user's mobile device. By installing and linking with the buried pipe information management app, which connects to electronic tags and buried pipe information servers and has an interface for registering or checking information on underground facilities, users can check the buried type of underground facilities at sites where manholes or sumps are installed. Please note that this is a method of easily registering information and providing burial type information more accurately and intuitively when requested by the user.

For this purpose, the buried pipeline facility information display method of the present invention includes an app execution step (S10), a burial type selection step (S20), a buried symbol loading step (S30), a buried symbol rotation step (S40), and rotation angle calculation. It is performed to display buried pipe facility information, including step (S50) and buried symbol setting step (S60), and is specifically as follows.

The electronic tag is installed on the cover or lid frame of a manhole provided to manage underground facilities, or in any part of the waterside for opening and closing buried pipes. For example, it is a short-range wireless tag that is installed as standard in most mobile devices such as smartphones. It can be easily linked with communication functions and NFC and RFID tags including memory chips can be applied.

The buried pipe information server is a management agency in charge of management of underground facilities or an organization entrusted with facility management builds a database on buried pipe facility information and uses wireless communication to connect the user's mobile device with the buried pipe information management app installed. Configure to send and receive data.

The buried pipe information management app is a mobile application installed on the smartphone of the field worker, that is, the user, and is configured to transmit and receive data with the electronic tag and buried pipe information server using short- and long-distance wireless communication.

The buried pipe information management app is equipped to extract the user's current location or location information of underground facilities in connection with the GPS module, wireless data communication module, and online map module that are installed as standard in mobile devices.

The buried pipe information management app includes a facility information registration interface and a facility information confirmation interface to allow users to input or confirm information about underground facilities.

The burial type selection step or rotation angle calculation step (S20 to S50), which will be described later, is included in the process for the user to register the buried type of the underground facility through the facility information registration interface of the buried pipe information management app, and buried symbol setting. Step (S60) is included in the process of displaying the buried type of the underground facility through the facility information confirmation interface of the buried pipe information management app.

The app execution step (S10) is a step of tagging an electronic tag to the user's mobile device or executing a buried pipe information management app.

In the app execution step (S10), at a site where a manhole or sump is installed, the user tags an electronic tag installed on a manhole cover, lid frame, or any part of the sump using, for example, the short-range wireless communication function of a smartphone, or the user arbitrarily uses a smartphone. When you run the buried pipe information management app installed in the system, it loads an interface for registering or checking underground facility information.

The burial type selection step (S20) is a step in which the user selects the burial type of the underground facility by executing the facility information registration interface of the buried pipe information management app.

The facility information registration interface of the buried pipe information management app provides an interface for users to input information about the buried type, depth, pipe size, material, management agency, emergency contact information, and valve open/close status of the underground facility, and displays it on the screen. , It is configured so that the user enters information for each item.

In the burial type selection step (S20), a straight type type in which an opening and closing valve is formed, a T branch type in which an opening and closing valve is formed in a branch pipe, a T branch type in which an opening and closing valve is formed in the main pipe, and a T branch type. A type in which open-and-close valves are formed on one side of the main pipe and two branch pipes, a T-branch type in which open-and-close valves are formed on both sides of the main pipe and three branch pipes, and a pipe-end type in which open-and-close valves are formed at the end of the pipe. The user is asked to select one of six types of buried underground facilities.

In the buried symbol loading step (S30), the GPS module is executed to extract the user's current location, the online map module is executed to load a commercial map near the user, and the user's current location is displayed on the commercial map and in the center of the mobile device screen. This is the step of displaying the buried symbol 30 for input at the same position at the basic angle.

In the buried symbol loading step (S30), the buried symbol selected in the burial type selection step (S20) is loaded to the user's current location on the map.

In the buried symbol loading step (S30), among the six types of input buried symbols (30) that image the six types of buried types listed above, one input symbol corresponding to the buried type selected in the buried type selection step (S20) Configure to automatically load the buried symbol (30).

The buried symbol 30 for input is set so that the main pipe, branch pipe, and valve of the underground facility are oriented in the same direction as shown in FIG. 7, and when loaded, they are loaded at the center of the map, i.e., the user's current location, at the basic angle, i.e., in the direction of the initial state. In this case, the map should always be displayed in the true north direction.

In the buried symbol rotation step (S40), the user selects the loaded buried symbol 30 for input, and matches the buried type of the underground facility by referring to the road direction, the location of the building, and the location of the structure on the map. This is the step of rotating the embedded symbol 30 for input in the direction.

In the buried symbol rotation step (S40), the user sets the input buried symbol (30) so that the input buried symbol (30) loaded on the map in the buried symbol loading step (S30) matches the buried direction of the actual underground facility. is made to rotate.

In the buried symbol rotation step (S40), when the user selects the buried symbol 30 for input loaded on the map, the direction of the map is fixed to the true north direction, and the size of the buried symbol 30 for input can be easily adjusted by the user. Configure the display to be enlarged so that it can be rotated. That is, in the buried symbol loading step (S30), the basic angle, that is, the initial state input buried symbol 30 is loaded, regardless of the direction of the road or building, etc. displayed on the map. The imaged burial type and the actual direction of the road are displayed inconsistently. Therefore, in the buried symbol rotation step (S40), the user rotates the buried symbol 30 for input by hand in the same direction as the buried type of the actual underground facility, referring to the road direction or arrangement form of the building, etc. on the map. Mark it as much as possible.

In the rotation angle calculation step (S50), the buried pipe information management app calculates the user in the buried symbol rotation step (S40) from the basic angle of the buried symbol (30) for input loaded in the buried symbol loading step (S30). This is the step where the rotation angle is automatically calculated and saved as numerical data.

In the rotation angle calculation step (S50), the input buried symbol 30 is rotated from the basic angle loaded in the buried symbol loading step (S30) to an angle rotated to match the actual buried shape in the buried symbol rotation step (S40). It is calculated as numerical data and stored in an electronic tag installed on a manhole cover, lid frame, or any part of the waterfront exposed to the ground, and in a buried pipeline information server.

At this time, it would be natural to store the user's current location and the location of the underground facility extracted by the GPS module.

In the rotation angle calculation step (S50), instead of individually storing burial symbols for underground facilities with numerous different burial types depending on the direction of the road in each region, only the rotation angle numerical data as described above is used in the buried pipeline information management app. By calculating and storing, the disadvantage of not being able to store large images in electronic tags with limited storage capacity is resolved, and the buried symbol below is used to check underground facility information through the facility information confirmation interface of the buried pipeline information management app in the future. In the setting step (S60), the rotation angle data is called and configured so that it can be easily applied.

The buried symbol setting step (S60) is a step of executing the map module in the facility information confirmation interface of the buried pipe information management app and setting the buried symbol 40 for output on the map.

The buried symbol setting step (S60) is a process in which the user checks information about underground facilities through the buried pipe information management app, and pre-stored data is stored through the app execution step or rotation angle calculation step (S10 to S50) as described above. The burial type and rotation angle numerical data are applied to the burial symbol 40 for output and displayed on the screen.

In the buried symbol setting step (S60), when the facility information confirmation interface is executed, the map is loaded and displayed on the screen, and the map is displayed as points of a certain size using the location information of underground facilities stored in the electronic tag or buried pipeline information server. Constructed to ensure visibility and readability.

Afterwards, when the user selects an underground facility point on the map, the output buried symbol (40) built into the buried pipeline information management app is called, enlarged to a certain size, and the rotation angle numerical data saved in the rotation angle calculation step (S50) is applied. Thus, the output buried symbol 40 is automatically rotated and displayed on the map in the same direction as the buried type of the underground facility.

Therefore, just by checking the output buried symbol 40 displayed on the map through the facility information confirmation interface, the user can determine the type of underground facility buried on the road and the installation location of the facility and valve buried underground at the riverbank. It is easy and accurate to understand.

The method of displaying buried pipe facility information using the technology of the present invention, which has the above-described configuration, allows the user to use the buried pipe information management app at a site where a manhole or sump is installed to determine the buried type of the underground facility and the location of the valve for opening and closing the pipe. We configure a method of displaying buried pipe facility information that allows you to easily register and later check the information by easily identifying the type of burial or the location of the valve that is buried underground and cannot be confirmed with the naked eye.

Therefore, the present invention provides a more intuitive visualization of the buried type of underground facilities or the location of the waterfront, compared to the general display method in the prior art that provides only text or numerical information or displays simple dots on a map. Since this can be done, for example, there is an effect of making it easier to determine the buried form of the underground facility even in a site where the underground facility has various shapes and directions.
