Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is to be understood that the following description is illustrative of the present invention, and the technical spirit of the present invention is not limited to the following description. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The accompanying drawings, which are included to provide a further understanding of the invention and are incorporated in and constitute a part of this application, illustrate embodiments of the invention and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the invention.

1 is a front view of a smart sunlight security streetlight system 100 (hereinafter referred to as a streetlight system) according to one embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 2 is a side view.

1 and 2, a streetlight system 100 includes a main post 110, a solar panel 120, branch posts 131 and 132, an energy storage device (not shown), a streetlight 140, a video device 151, 152, a first power supply (not shown), and a second power supply (not shown).

The main posts 110 may be formed upright on the ground and in a columnar shape with an empty interior. A control box 160 may be installed in the main post 110. The control box 160 may implement a circuit panel and a user interface for controlling power supplied to various devices installed in the streetlight system 100, including the streetlight 140, and for changing the settings.

The solar panel 120 is coupled to the upper end of the main post 110 and is coupled to adjust the tilt angle. Here, the inclination angle refers to the degree of inclination of the surface portion of the solar panel 120 with respect to the upper end of the main post 110. The inclination angle adjustment of the solar panel 120 will be described later with reference to other drawings. The solar panel 120 includes a plurality of solar cells for integrating sunlight, a module plate on which the plurality of solar cells are arranged, and a commercially available solar panel. The detailed description will be omitted. The solar panel 120 uses solar energy to produce electricity.

The branch posts 131 and 132 extend from the side of the upper end side of the main post 110. 1 and 2, the branch posts 131 and 132 include a first branch post 131 extending vertically to the main post 110, a first branch post 131 extending from the first branch post 132, And a second branch post 132 extending from the main post 110 to form an angle. A connecting member (not shown) for connecting the first branch post 131 and the second branch post 132 may be additionally formed. The connecting member may be supported by the first branch posts 131 to support the second branch posts 132. The predetermined angle formed by the first branch post 131 and the second branch post 132 is not specified.

In one embodiment, the first branch posts 131 may be provided with imaging devices 151 and 152 and the second branch posts 132 may be provided with street lamps 140 at the ends thereof.

The video apparatuses 151 and 152 function to capture video images, and specific configurations of the video apparatuses 151 and 152 will be described later with reference to other drawings. Two video devices 151 and 152 installed in the first branch post 131 may be two. For example, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a first imaging device 151 is disposed below the first branch post 131 and a lens for acquiring an image is disposed in a first direction, And a second video device 152 arranged to face a second direction different from the first direction. The first direction and the second direction may be directions opposite to each other. That is, when the first imaging device 151 is installed to photograph the right side of the first branch post 131, the second imaging device 152 may be installed to photograph the left side of the first branch post 131 . In this case, when a person, an animal, an object, or the like moves from the right side to the left side with respect to the streetlight system 100, the first imaging device 151 can photograph the front side of the human, animal, object , And the second imaging device 152 can photograph the rear surface. In the case of an existing security streetlight in which only one video device is installed, only a fixed specific view can be photographed. Even if the video device is installed so as to be rotatable by control, it is possible to change the view. Still, There is no change. However, when two video devices are installed in opposite directions as in the present invention, two specific views can be taken, so that rich information can be obtained, and no separate configuration for rotating the video device is required There is an advantage that there is no factor of raising the production cost due to the rotation driving parts and the electronic control parts installation.

The street lamp 140 may be installed at the outer end of the second branch post 132. Since the street light 140 can utilize commercialized street light (for example, LED street light), detailed description thereof will be omitted. In one embodiment, streetlight 140 may be dimming controlled. The dimming control means a general technique of controlling the brightness of the illumination according to the ambient brightness or the remaining power of the battery. The streetlight 140 can also be controlled to be lit after sunset. For example, the control box 160 may include a timer and a control circuit for lighting or blinking the street light 140 according to the timer. In this case, it is possible to set the street light 140 to turn on or blink according to the time set in the timer.

The transmission may be transmitted at a specific period (a predetermined time every day, or a weekly predetermined date). Thus, it is possible to generate the weather information of the corresponding area based on the environmental data collected through various sensors. In some cases, the control unit of the control box 160 may display the environmental data externally through a display board installed in the streetlight system 100.

In addition to the functions described above, the streetlight system 100 may perform various functions through the above-described sensors, speakers, and electric signboards.

Hereinafter, a configuration for adjusting the inclination angle of the solar panel 120 in the streetlight system 100 will be described. 3 is an enlarged view of III shown in Fig.

3, the streetlight system 100 includes a first post that is installed upright on the upper side of the upper end of the main post 110 for adjusting the inclination angle of the solar panel 120 and is coupled to the lower front side of the solar panel 120, And a height adjustment member 113 having a lower end portion inserted therein and capable of height adjustment is installed through a plurality of height adjustment holes 112a formed on a side portion of the main post 110, And a second post 112 to which the upper end of the height adjusting member 113 is coupled through the hinge 113a to the lower rear side of the solar panel 120. [

In one embodiment, the second post 112 has three height adjustment holes 112a arranged side by side on the side, as shown in Figure 3, and the height adjustment member 113 has a height (A coupling hole (not shown) for coupling with the height adjusting hole 112a may be formed on both sides of the height adjusting member 113). For example, a coupling hole is formed below the side of the height adjusting member 113. When the height adjusting hole 112a located at the uppermost position and the coupling hole are bolted together, the inclination angle of the solar panel 120 becomes maximum . The inclination angle of the solar panel 120 is minimized when the height adjusting hole 112a located at the bottom of the coupling hole is bolted. The inclination angle of the solar panel 120 can be adjusted by adjusting the height of the height adjusting member 113 in accordance with the position where the height adjusting member 113 is engaged with the height adjusting hole 112a, Can be adjusted. This is because the power generation efficiency can be improved by adjusting the inclination angle of the solar panel 120 so as to have an optimum installation angle of the solar panel 120 according to the solar altitude and the azimuth angle of the sun. In the case of a conventional street lamp having a solar panel, a technique of automatically controlling the inclination angle of the solar panel through a driving motor, an automatic control circuit, and the like has been known. However, in the streetlight system 100 according to the present invention, a relatively simple method of adjusting the height of the height adjusting member 112a in accordance with the position where the height adjusting member 112a is coupled with the height adjusting hole 112a, It is possible to optimally adjust the inclination angle of the solar panel 120 according to the season, the sun's position, etc., while reducing the manufacturing cost by adjusting the inclination angle of the solar panel 120 through The optimum angle of inclination of the solar panel 120 can be calculated in a known manner and the number and spacing of the height adjustment holes 113a of the height adjustment member 113 can be adjusted so that the inclination angle can be adjusted will be.

The image recognition unit recognizes at least one of flame, smoke, face, and license plate in the acquired image according to a predetermined algorithm. The algorithm can use a known algorithm related to image recognition, for example, extracting feature points from an acquired image, acquiring and transforming a matrix of the feature points, thereby generating sparks, smoke, Vehicle license plates can be recognized. In the storage unit, the image recognized by the image recognition unit is stored, and the recognized flame, smoke, face, and license plate portion are enlarged and stored as an image. The image format is not specified. In the DB unit, information about a specific face and a license plate is recorded. For example, a face image of a specific person or information about a specific license plate may be recorded, and the information may be received through the communication module. The determination unit compares the image stored in the storage unit and the information recorded in the DB unit to determine whether the image matches the information. The determination may be made through a known image comparison algorithm or an image comparison algorithm. As a result of the determination by the determination unit, if the image and the information match, the information value of the obtained image may be increased. Therefore, the communication module records a recognition message ) To the designated destination. In some cases, the recognition message and the image stored in the storage unit may be transmitted together. Or when the flame or smoke image is stored in the storage unit, the image can be transferred to the designated destination.

Through the video device 151 configured as described above, it is possible to obtain valuable information about a person or vehicle license plate close to the streetlight system 100 at a specific destination. For example, if the criminal who is being disposed is close to the streetlight system 100 and the facial information of the criminal is stored in the DB unit of the imaging device 151, the imaging device 151 recognizes the face of the criminal, The facial image can be enlarged and stored, compared with the facial information recorded in the DB unit to determine whether the facial image is matched, and the recognition message can be transmitted to a specific destination, thereby helping to prevent crime or arresting criminals. In addition, when a fire occurs at a close range including the position where the streetlight system 100 is installed, the fire device can recognize a fire, smoke, and the like through the imaging device 151 and send it to a specific destination.
