5 is a side view of an array according to an embodiment of the invention including the marine biological ripelling apparatus shown in FIG.

Hereinafter, the configuration and operation of an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

First, referring to the drawings, a marine biological repelling apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail. 1 and 2, a marine biological ripelling apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a buoy 110, a solar power generating unit 130, a wind power generating unit 140, A generating unit 150, an ultrasonic generator 160, and a bottom 170. [

The buoys 110 float on the water and can automatically adjust the buoyancy in response to changes in the height of the sea surface. In the present invention, the height change of the sea level may include, but is not limited to, the sea level, the sea level change due to the waves, and the height change due to the difference in the fresh water level only. The buoy 110 includes a first chamber 111, a second chamber 113 positioned below the first chamber 111, and a ballast pump 115 installed in the second chamber 113.

The first chamber 111 is stacked on top of the second chamber 113 and includes an empty space 112 formed therein. The size of the empty space 112 may include a minimum amount of space for the buoy 110 to have its own buoyancy. That is, due to the empty space 112, the buoy 110 itself has a positive buoyancy.

The second chamber 113 is located under the first chamber 111. The second chamber 113 includes a ballasting space 114 for adjusting the amount of buoyancy therein. The ballasting space 114 receives seawater W used for buoyancy control. That is, the buoyancy of the second chamber 113 is adjusted according to the amount of seawater W stored in the ballasting space 114. The buoyant force of the second chamber 113 is inversely proportional to the amount of seawater W stored in the ballasting space 114.

The ballast pump 115 is installed in the second chamber 113 to perform ballasting and de-ballasting operations. The ballasting operation means that the external seawater is introduced into the ballasting space 114, and the debulking operation, on the contrary, means discharging the seawater stored in the ballasting space 114 to the outside.

The buoy 110 is provided with a central passage portion 116 passing through the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 113 in order.

The photovoltaic power generation unit 130 is installed at an upper portion of the buoy 110. The solar power generation unit 130 generates electricity using solar light and supplies electricity required for the magnetic field generation unit 150, the ultrasonic generator 160, and the ballast pump 115. The solar power generating unit 130 includes a solar cell module 131, a direction adjusting unit 133 for adjusting the orientation and inclination of the solar cell module 131, and a battery module (not shown).

The solar cell module 131 produces electricity using sunlight. The orientation and inclination of the solar cell module 131 are adjusted by the orientation controller 133 so that the solar cell module 131 follows the sun.

The direction adjusting unit 133 adjusts the orientation and inclination of the solar cell module 131 in real time so that the solar cell module 131 follows the sun. The direction adjusting section 133 includes a direction adjusting means 134 for changing the direction of the solar cell module 131 and a tilt adjusting means 137 for changing the tilt of the solar cell module 131.

The orientation adjusting means 134 includes a rotary plate 135, a rotary support 136, and a first drive motor (not shown). The rotary plate 135 rotates about the axis of rotation A extending perpendicularly to the buoys 110. A solar cell module 131 is installed on the rotary plate 135. The rotary support 136 supports the rotary plate 135 such that the rotary plate 135 rotates about the rotary axis A with respect to the buoy 110. A supporting structure such as a bearing can be used. The first driving motor (not shown) rotates the rotating plate 135 about the rotational axis A as a center. The first drive motor (not shown) may be operated by receiving power from the wind power generator 140.

The inclination adjusting means 137 includes a mover 138 that linearly moves on the rotary plate 135, a support 139 whose both ends are rotatably coupled to the solar cell module 131 and the mover 138, (Not shown) for moving the first driving motor (not shown). The inclination angle of the solar cell module 131 is adjusted while the mover 138 is driven by the second drive motor (not shown) and linearly moved. The second drive motor (not shown) can be operated by receiving power from the wind power generator 140.

The battery module (not shown) is charged by the electricity generated by the solar cell module 131 and supplies electricity required for the magnetic field generator 150, the ultrasonic generator 160 and the ballast pump 115.

The wind power generating unit 140 generates electricity using wind power and supplies electricity to the direction adjusting unit 133 of the solar power generating unit 130. The wind power generating unit 140 may include a magnetic field generating unit 150, (160) and the ballast pump (115). Therefore, the overall power generation efficiency is greatly improved, and the magnetic field generating unit 150, the ultrasonic generator 160, and the ballast pump 115 are supplied not only from the solar power generating unit 130 but also from the wind power generating unit 140 The ripple ring function can be performed more stably. The wind turbine generator 140 includes a plurality of wind turbines 141 installed at the upper portion of the buoys 110. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the wind turbine 141 is used in the vertical axis. In the case of the vertical axis, it is possible to generate electricity regardless of the direction of the wind and can be downsized. Although a vertical wind turbine generator is used in the present embodiment, the present invention is not limited thereto, and a horizontal wind turbine generator may be used.

The magnetic field generator 150 is located below the buoy 110 and generates a magnetic field for ripping marine life. That is, the magnetic field generated by the magnetic field generator 150 may block the access of marine life, especially dangerous marine life such as sharks. The magnetic field generator 150 includes a first electrode 151, a second electrode 152, a connection cable 153, and a length adjuster 154.

The first electrode 151 is fixed to the buoy 110 so as to be positioned at a position below the central passage 116 formed in the buoy 110. The first electrode 151 is connected to the solar power generation unit 130 and the wind power generation unit 140, and is supplied with power necessary for generating a magnetic field.

The second electrode 152 is positioned vertically below the first electrode 151 and is electrically connected to the first electrode 151 by the connection cable 153. The second electrode 152 has a polarity different from that of the first electrode 151. A magnetic field is generated between the first electrode 151 and the second electrode 152. The distance between the first electrode 151 and the second electrode 152 varies with the height of the buoy 110. The strength and range of the magnetic field generated by the first electrode 151 and the second electrode 152 is And changes depending on the distance between the two electrodes 151 and 152. That is, when the buoy 110 rises and the distance between the two electrodes 151 and 152 increases, the range of the magnetic field becomes wider instead of wider, and when the distance between the two electrodes 151 and 152 decreases, Instead of narrowing the range, the strength becomes stronger.

The connection cable 153 electrically connects the first electrode 151 and the second electrode 152. A magnetic field is generated between the first electrode 151 and the second electrode 152 electrically connected by the connection cable 153.

The length adjuster 154 adjusts the length of the connecting cable 153 so that the connecting cable 153 is held in a tensioned state. That is, the length adjuster 154 applies a force in a direction in which the length of the connecting cable 153 is reduced. The length adjuster 154 keeps the connecting cable 153 always in a tensioned state so that the buoy 110 maintains the predetermined position.

The ultrasonic generator 160 is connected to and positioned on the connection cable 153. The ultrasound generator 160 generates ultrasound waves that repell the marine life in water. The ultrasonic waves generated by the ultrasonic generator 160 can effectively repell the marine life together with the magnetic field generated by the magnetic field generator 150.

The bottom weight 170 is placed on the bottom of the seabed and connected to the second electrode 152. The second electrode 152 is kept in a predetermined position by the bottom weight 170 without being influenced by the current.

Now, the embodiment will be described in detail with reference to Figs. 3 and 4. Fig. FIG. 3 shows the state of the marine biological repelling device 100 at low tide. Referring to FIG. 3, since the water becomes shallower at low tide, the length of the connecting cable 153 needs to be shortened. Thus, the length of the connecting cable 153 is reduced by the length adjuster 154, and the buoy 110 can be raised with respect to the water surface by the buoyancy by the ballast pump 115. At this time, the buoyancy of the buoys 110 increases because when the depth of the water becomes shallower at low tide, if the length of the connecting cable 153 is reduced, the minimum interval necessary for generating a magnetic field (i.e., And the second electrode 152) may not be ensured, so that a minimum gap is secured.

The buoyancy of the buoy 110 is increased while the seawater in the ballasting space 114 is discharged to the outside by the ballast pump 115 and when the length adjuster 154 pulls the upper end of the connecting cable 153 So that the first electrode 151 and the second electrode 152 can maintain an appropriate gap (i.e., a minimum gap for generating a magnetic field).

FIG. 4 shows the state of the marine biological repelling apparatus 100 during the tide. Referring to FIG. 4, since the depth of water deepens during tide, the length of the connecting cable 153 needs to be long. Thus, the length of the connecting cable 153 is increased by the length adjuster 154, and the buoyancy of the buoy 110 is reduced by the ballast pump 115 and can be lowered with respect to the water surface. At this time, the buoyancy of the buoys 110 decreases because, when the buoys are deepened and the currents become strong, the buoys 110 are more likely to be swept by the currents. For example. That is, as the water becomes deeper, the buoyancy of the buoys 110 is reduced, since there is a need to provide the buoys 110 with enough weight (i.e. weak buoyancy) that they will not be floated by currents. Further, if the length of the connecting cable 153 is increased more than necessary, the range of the magnetic field becomes wider than necessary and the strength can be weakened below the required level, The length of the connection cable 153 needs to be increased to such an extent that the cable 153 can maintain its straight shape.

The buoyancy of the buoy 110 is reduced while the seawater is introduced into the ballasting space 114 by the ballast pump 115 and the buoyancy of the buoy 110 is reduced by the support between the bottom weight 170 and the buoy 110 The length of the connection cable 153 is increased to such an extent that the cable 153 can maintain a straight line shape.

5 is a side view of an array according to an embodiment of the invention including the marine biological ripelling apparatus shown in FIG. Referring to FIG. 5, the array 190 may include a plurality of marine biological repelling devices 100. 5, the array 190 is shown as including three marine biological repelling devices 100, but the present invention is not limited thereto and may include four or more marine biological repelling devices 100 have. The plurality of marine biological repelling devices 100 of the array 190 may be tethered to each other by a rope 191. That is, they can be fixed to each other by the rope 191. At this time, the plurality of marine biological ripelling apparatuses 100 are arranged in the same direction, and can serve as a wall for preventing access to marine life.

As shown in FIG. 5, the plurality of marine biological repelling devices 100 can be spaced apart by a distance such that each magnetic field is adjacent to each other when arranged in the same direction. That is, the respective magnetic fields can be generated adjacent to each other such that it is difficult for the marine creatures to pass through the magnetic working walls generated by the plurality of marine biological repelling devices 100.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited thereto. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
