Description

Navigation light management system and method of operating the same [0002]

The present invention relates to a navigation management system and a method for operating the navigation management system. More particularly, the present invention relates to a navigation management system and a method of operating the navigation management system.

The navigation light controller installed on the ship is a device that controls the navigation light required for the operation of the ship in accordance with the Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREG). Therefore, the navigator sees the navigational light of the opponent's ship according to COLREG and grasps the direction of the opponent's ship and then selects the corresponding navigational method by judging where the charitable condition corresponds among the three navigations of encounter, crossing and overtaking, It is an important role to prevent each other from colliding with each other and to ensure safety.

The use of such a navigation light controller is mainly used at night, and in the case of daytime, it should be used within a limited visibility by smoke and the like. Especially, COLREG should be understood and installed accurately. In addition, the navigation light reflects and reflects light from a light source using a lens or reflector so that the position of the ship can be checked for the safety of the ship being sailed. In addition to the ship, a lighthouse, , Bridge sign, and so on.

In the past, incandescent lamps were mainly used as a light source for these navigation lights. Such incandescent lamps have a short life span of about 7,000 hours, requiring periodic replacement, consuming a large amount of power, and having difficulty in maintenance. In recent years, LEDs have been used as a light source instead of incandescent lamps because of such problems. LEDs have a higher luminance than incandescent lamps and have a lifespan of about 30,000 hours, thus being semi-permanently usable and consuming less power.

Korean Registered Patent No. 10-0927134 (Registered on Nov. 10, 2009) discloses an LED lamp controller that can reduce the power consumption required by a power regulator and an LED module provided in a lamp unit to improve power efficiency. According to the disclosed technology, there is provided a control device of an LED lamp that comprises a plurality of LED elements and informs a ship in a voyage of its position, comprising: a step-up regulator for converting a power of 9 to 15 V supplied from the battery 100 to a voltage of 15 V or more; A power regulator 200 provided with a power supply 211; A constant current driver 311 for converting the power supplied from the power regulator 200 into a constant current and a plurality of LED elements 312 which are supplied with power from the constant current driver 311 are arranged in a row, And a plurality of LED columns 310 arranged in a row are connected in parallel to each other; And a central control unit (400) for controlling the driving of the LED module (300), so that the manufacturing cost can be reduced and the power efficiency can be improved by reducing the power consumption.

The conventional LED navigation light device as described above generally has a long service life of 30,000 hours for the LED chip, but the illuminance of the LED navigation light gradually decreases with time, and if the output of the LED navigation light falls below the specified illuminance There is a possibility that an accident due to an identification failure may occur at the time of ship operation. Further, since the conventional LED navigation light device needs to directly identify the replacement time of the LED navigation light by human eyes, it has not been known whether the output of the LED navigation light has fallen below the specified illuminance, or whether the warranty life of the LED chip has passed. Therefore, there is a disadvantage that it is inconvenient that the personnel who should check the replacement time of the navigation light or the person to replace the LED navigation light should always stay in the room, and the labor cost increases.

The buffer 123 converts a voltage applied to the resistor 122 to a high level signal (or a low level signal), and transmits a signal of a switch-on input to the illumination control unit 120.

3 is a view for explaining an example of DIP switch setting of the illumination control unit 120 shown in FIG.

FIG. 4 is a view for explaining the illumination state sensing unit in FIG. 1. FIG.

Referring to FIG. 4, the illumination condition sensing unit 150 includes a CT (Current Transformer) sensor 151.

The CT sensor 151 is installed such that the illumination driver 130 individually penetrates a power line (for example, an AC 220V line) for turning on a navigation light of the illumination device 140, (Illumination on state information or illumination off state information) by generating a minute current when the power is normally supplied to the navigation light of the illumination device 140 through the line, converting the generated minute current into a voltage signal, (Or the use time display & management unit 170). Here, the power supply line is installed in a state where the body of the CT sensor 151 is wound several times (for example, 1 to 7 times) as necessary.

5 is a flowchart illustrating an operation method of the navigation light management system A according to the embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, the power supply unit 110 supplies necessary power (AC power or DC power) of the navigation light management system A. At this time, the lighting control unit 120 manages and controls the initial setting of the microcomputer of the lighting control unit 120 in order to set the initial value of the microcomputer at the time of initial power supply, such as the initial installation of the navigation light management system A, . The lighting control unit 120 initializes the microcomputer according to the DIP switch setting and the lamp button operation shown in FIG. 3 and sets the initial value to the microcomputer (S501).

The lighting control unit 120 confirms the switch input (switch-on input or switch-off input) (S502). At this time, the lighting control unit 120 sets the use status of the corresponding navigation light according to the DIP switch position information. Generates an illumination-on control command (illumination-on control command or illumination-off control command) for the output signal data, and transmits the generated illumination control command to the illumination driving unit 130.

More specifically, the DIP switch position information of the lighting control unit 120 indicates whether a navigation light / signal lamp is used or not. Therefore, if the dip switch is off, it means that the corresponding navigation light / traffic light is not used. Accordingly, the controller 120 recognizes the lamp button corresponding to the DIP switch which is turned off as a lamp button which is not used. Thus, when the lamp button 121b is pressed (i.e., when the switch is turned on), a voltage applied to one terminal of the lamp button 121b is caught by the resistor 122. [ Accordingly, the buffer 123 changes the voltage applied to the resistor 122 to a high level signal (or a low level signal), and transmits a signal of the switch-on input to the illumination control unit 120. The buffer 123 may transmit the voltage applied to the resistor 122 to the illumination driver 130 through an illumination-on control command. At this time, the power supply 110 supplies power for driving the navigation lamp to the illumination driver 130 Supply. On the other hand, at the time of switch-off input, the voltage applied to one terminal is not applied to the resistor 122 due to the opening of the switch 121a, and the buffer 123 changes to a low level signal And can transmit the signal of the switch-off input to the usage time display & management unit 170.

When the voyage / traffic light is changed from the on-state to the off-state, the lamp button 120b is depressed, and the navigation light / signal lamp can be turned off according to the setting of the dip switch in the microprocessor.

When the switch input is confirmed in step S502, the use time display & management unit 170 stores the output signal data of the navigation light transmitted from the illumination control unit 120 in the memory (S503). In this case, the illumination driving unit 130 receives the driving power from the power supply unit 110 and performs an operation. In response to the illumination on / off control command transmitted from the illumination control unit 120, Off switching) so that the power supplied from the power supply unit 110 is input to or blocked by the lighting device 140.

More specifically, the CT sensor 151 provided in the illumination condition sensing unit 150 individually transmits a power supply line (for example, an AC 220 V line) for turning on a navigation light / signal lamp by the illumination driving unit 130 The CT sensor 151 generates a fine current (S504). When the illumination driver 130 supplies power normally to the navigation light / signal lamp through the power supply line, the CT sensor 151 generates a fine current Converted into a signal and input to the illumination use time recording unit 160 (or the use time display & management unit 170) with the illumination state information (illumination on state information or illumination off state information).
