Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a camera device having a built-in temperature sensor and a humidity sensor, and a facility management system using the same.

One embodiment of the present invention relates to a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor integrated camera device, and a facility management system using the same.

Conventionally, a surveillance system using a camera acquires an image through a plurality of cameras installed in each of a plurality of specific areas, displays the image through a monitor, and stores the image on a recording device.

However, the surveillance system using the conventional camera has a problem that only the image of each designated region of the system is displayed, but other related information about the corresponding region is not displayed.

In recent years, a surveillance system using a camera has been installed along with a variety of electric and electronic devices in production and growth facilities to improve the quality and productivity of agricultural and livestock products (hereinafter referred to as facilities). In the vicinity of these systems, temperature and humidity sensors for measuring the temperature and humidity around the facilities are separately provided, and the system provides the temperature and humidity data. However, since this surveillance system can be visualized by connecting the temperature and humidity sensor with the wired line, many agricultural and farming farms to which such a system is applied have difficulty in actual utilization due to the difficulty of building a wired line.

On the other hand, the case body 100 of the present temperature sensor and humidity sensor-integrated camera apparatus 10 is made of a polypropylene resin having excellent impact resistance, wherein the polypropylene resin is composed of two or more kinds of ethylene- . The polypropylene resin preferably has a melt index of 1 to 10 g / 10 min (230 캜, 2.16 kg load). If the melt index is less than 1 g / 10 min, the extrusion load during molding is high, When it exceeds 10 g / 10 min, the bubble stability and the thickness uniformity are lowered, which is not suitable for the use of the final product. The polypropylene-based resin may further contain 30 to 70 parts by weight of a first ethylene-propylene random copolymer having a relatively low ethylene content and 2 to 70 parts by weight of a second ethylene-propylene random copolymer having a relatively high ethylene content But if the amount is less than 30 parts by weight, the transparency is deteriorated. If the amount is more than 70 parts by weight, heat resistance may be deteriorated.

When the content of ethylene is 0.5 wt% When the content is less than 15% by weight, the impact resistance decreases remarkably.

The ethylene-propylene random copolymer is subjected to a first polymerization step and a second polymerization step in a series of steps to prepare two or more kinds of ethylene-propylene random copolymers each having a different ethylene content, followed by melting and kneading to prepare a polypropylene resin . This is because the ethylene-propylene random copolymer can continuously produce an ethylene-propylene random copolymer having a different ethylene content by proceeding the first polymerization step and the second polymerization step in a series of continuous processes, As the polymers are alternately polymerized and alternately polymerized, they are present in a single phase so that phase separation does not occur. Therefore, no separate blending process is required and the manufacturing process is easy and simple.

In the first polymerization step, a first ethylene-propylene random copolymer having a relatively low ethylene content is prepared by gas phase polymerization of ethylene and propylene in the presence of a catalyst. The catalyst may be a known catalyst without limitation, A catalyst prepared by reacting a dialkoxymagnesium carrier with a titanium compound, phthalate, succinate, and diether-based internal electron donors may be used. Further, a catalyst containing an organoaluminum compound and an external electron donor may further be used . At this time, the amount of ethylene and propylene can be controlled by those skilled in the art, and it is preferable to control the amount of ethylene to be 0.5 to 4% by weight.

Wherein the second polymerization step is a step of producing a second ethylene-propylene random copolymer having a relatively high ethylene content by gas-phase polymerization in the presence of a first ethylene-propylene random copolymer and further adding ethylene and propylene, Ethylene-propylene random copolymer. The first polymerization step and the second polymerization step may be repeated several times alternately according to the needs of those skilled in the art. In this case, copolymers having different ethylene contents may be alternately laminated to obtain a copolymer having several layers. Further, ethylene and propylene to be added may be optionally controlled by the person skilled in the art, and it is preferable to adjust the ethylene content to 5 to 15% by weight.

The two or more ethylene-propylene random copolymers having different ethylene contents produced through the first polymerization step and the second polymerization step are present in a single phase by melting and kneading to produce a polypropylene resin, , Phase separation does not occur and no separate blending process is required.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, but may be embodied in various forms without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. For example, It will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
