If the ID and the identification signal match, the automatic gas shutoff valve starts counting through the self timer. If the ID and the identification number are not recognized after the wireless beacon communication signal is disconnected due to the location movement of the smartphone or the wireless beacon communication module, the motor driving unit is operated to close the gas valve.

As an embodiment related to the present invention, the wireless beacon communication module includes a temperature sensor, and generates an alarm signal when the temperature around the valve exceeds a preset temperature.

As an embodiment related to the present invention, a self-wireless beacon communication module is provided with a temperature sensor, and when the temperature around the valve exceeds a preset temperature, the motor driving part is operated to close the gas valve.

As an embodiment related to the present invention, a manual driving unit may be provided so that the gas automatic shutoff valve can be manually opened and closed.

As an embodiment related to the present invention, it may include an apparatus for checking whether the gas valve is in the open position.

It is a method that can be used as an additional auxiliary safety device by installing it at the next stage of the main valve as an auxiliary means of the main gas valve which is conventionally installed.

As a safety assisting means, a temperature sensing sensor is provided inside the apparatus, and if the ambient temperature rises above a predetermined temperature, an alarm is generated to prevent an alarm of fire.

(Example 1)

1 is a view for explaining an automatic gas shutoff valve and a control method thereof according to the present invention;

to be.

As shown in FIG. 1, in the automatic gas shutoff valve and the control method to which the present invention is applied, the wireless beacon communication terminal 100 and the gas valve cut-off device 200). Here, the wireless beacon communication terminal 100 includes a smart phone, a transmitting / receiving terminal, and the like.

The wireless communication terminal 100 includes a first storage unit 110 storing an ID and an identification number application, and a first wireless beacon communication module 120.

The automatic gas shutoff valve 200 may include a second storage unit 220 storing a self ID and an identification number and a second storage unit 220 for storing a gas valve for the gas valve output through the first wireless beacon communication module 120 of the wireless beacon communication terminal 100. [ A second wireless beacon communication module 210 receiving an ID and an identification number, and an identification number of an automatic gas valve received and stored through the second wireless beacon communication module 210, And the motor driver 230 for locking the valve when the ID and the identification number are not received.

Here, the valve opening confirmation unit 250 and the operation standby LED unit 260 constitute a valve opening confirmation unit 250 for a stable and stable operation, and a temperature sensor unit 240 for detecting fire occurrence.
