That is, the measurement device module 350 measures the pH (hydrogen ion concentration index), oxygen concentration, carbon concentration, potassium concentration, phosphoric acid concentration, nitrogen concentration, iron concentration, protein concentration, phosphorus concentration , Ammonia concentration, and the like are analyzed (or calculated). In this case, when water is supplied through a plurality of pipes connected to the aquarium 200 in order to consider water components depending on the depth of the water inside the aquarium 200, the measuring device module 350 includes a plurality of pipes The average of the components of water supplied through the plurality of pipes may be calculated, and the calculated average value (or the average value of the water components) may be used afterwards.

Here, the measuring device module 350 may analyze various components related to the water, and may analyze only the components related to the elements supplied to the inside of the aquarium 200 (for example, If supplied, analysis of protein, phosphorus, and other components related to the feed may be performed).

For example, when the fertilizer and carbon dioxide, which are supplied to the inside of the aquarium 200 at the current time (for example, at 3:00 pm), are consumed in relation to the illumination, After the completion of illumination for one hour at the third light amount (or after the illumination supply has been completed and the time for which the residual component measurement related to the element has elapsed), the controller 430 determines / Watering module 340 so that the water inside the aquarium 200 (for example, water in each of a plurality of pipes, respectively) is supplied to the aquarium 200 through the first to third pipes formed in the upper layer, 10 ml) to the measuring device module 350.

The measurement device module 350 may measure the pH, the oxygen concentration, the carbon concentration, the potassium concentration, the phosphoric acid concentration, the nitrogen concentration, the iron concentration, and the concentration of water in the aquarium 200 supplied through the first to third pipes, Protein concentration, phosphorus concentration, and ammonia concentration. At this time, the measurement device module 350 may analyze the components of the plurality of water supplied through the first to third pipes, respectively, and may calculate an average value of the analyzed water components, A plurality of water supplied through the third pipe may be mixed with each other, and the components of the mixed water may be analyzed (S380).

That is, the control unit 430 determines whether the components of the feed included in the analyzed water (or the feed components such as proteins, phosphorus, etc., dissolved in the water in the aquarium 200) , Whether or not the components of the fertilizer contained in the analyzed water (or the components of fertilizer such as potassium, phosphoric acid, nitrogen, iron and the like dissolved in the water in the aquarium 200) are out of the reference range per predetermined fertilizer component, (Or a specific component such as a therapeutic agent or peat moss dissolved in the water in the aquarium 200) is determined to be a predetermined concentration of the carbon dioxide contained in the analyzed water Whether it is outside the reference range for a particular ingredient, and so on.

For example, the control unit 430 determines whether the pH of the analyzed water is out of a predetermined pH reference range, whether the analyzed carbon dioxide concentration is out of a predetermined carbon dioxide reference range, Determining whether the analyzed potassium concentration is outside of a predetermined potassium reference range, whether the analyzed phosphorus concentration is outside of a predetermined phosphorus reference range, whether the analyzed nitrogen concentration is outside of a predetermined nitrogen reference range, Whether the analyzed iron concentration is outside of a predetermined iron reference range, whether the analyzed protein concentration is outside of a predetermined protein reference range, whether the analyzed phosphorus concentration is outside of a predetermined reference range, Whether the concentration is outside the predetermined ammonia reference range, etc. And by (S390).

If the concentration of all the components is within the reference range of the determined component, the controller 430 ends the entire process.

That is, the identification result indicates that the components of the feed included in the analyzed water exist within the reference ranges of the predetermined feed ingredients, the components of the fertilizers contained in the analyzed water exist within the predetermined reference ranges of the fertilizer ingredients, If the analyzed carbon dioxide concentration is within a predetermined carbon dioxide reference range and the specific component contained in the analyzed water exists within a predetermined reference range for a specific component, the controller 430 ends the entire process.

For example, if the pH of the analyzed water is within a predetermined pH reference range based on the analysis result of the water component, the analyzed carbon dioxide concentration is within a predetermined reference range of carbon dioxide, and the analyzed potassium Concentration is within a predetermined potassium reference range and the analyzed phosphoric acid concentration is within a predetermined phosphoric acid reference range and the analyzed nitrogen concentration is within a predetermined nitrogen reference range and the analyzed iron concentration is within a predetermined range of iron And wherein the analyzed protein concentration is within a predetermined protein reference range and the analyzed phosphorus concentration is within a predetermined reference range and the analyzed ammonia concentration is within a predetermined ammonia reference range The analysis results of the above water components Concentration according to the presence of both within a predetermined reference range for each component, the controller 430 terminates the entire process (S400).

If there is a specific component in the concentration of all the components that is out of the reference range of each component, the controller 430 determines that removal of the specific component is appropriate for the specific component in the aquarium 200 It is judged whether or not it is a component favorable for controlling the concentration of the component and maintaining the environment.

That is, when there is a specific component that is out of the reference range of each component in the concentration of all the components, the control unit 430 determines that the specific component that is out of the reference range is pH, ammonia, (Or removing, adsorbing) such as sodium, potassium, phosphoric acid, nitrogen, iron, and the like, is a component favorable for maintaining the optimum environment.

For example, when the ammonia of the analyzed water is out of the predetermined ammonia reference range, the controller 430 determines whether or not to remove ammonia, which is out of the reference range, do.

In another example, when the analyzed potassium concentration is out of the predetermined potassium reference range, the control unit 430 determines whether or not removing the potassium, which is out of the reference range, is favorable for concentration control and environmental maintenance (S410).

As a result of the determination, when the control unit 430 removes the specific component arbitrarily, the controller 430 controls the input / output module 340 to control the concentration of the specific component in the aquarium 200, Water in the aquarium 200 is supplied to the specific component removal / absorption module 420 to remove or adsorb the specific component or to control the inlet / Performs a rehydration function on some of the water.

That is, if it is determined that the concentration of the component that is out of the reference range is regulated through pH, ammonia, fertilizer, or the like, ) Controls the inlet / outlet module 340 to purify the water inside the aquarium 200 to supply the water inside the aquarium 200 to the specific component removal / absorption module 420, Is removed or adsorbed.

If it is determined that the concentration of the component that is out of the reference range is regulated through pH, ammonia, fertilizer, or the like as a result of the determination, After a part of the water inside the aquarium 200 is discharged to the outside in order to exchange a part of the water inside the aquarium 200, the controller 300 controls the inlet / ) Into which water flows. At this time, the amount of water flowing into the aquarium 200 may be an amount corresponding to the amount of the discharged water or reaching a preset reference water level range.

The temperature control module 400 controls the temperature control module 340 to temporarily stop water inflow into the aquarium 200, The inside temperature of the aquarium 200 is increased or decreased. Thereafter, when the internal temperature of the aquarium 200 is within the reference temperature range, the controller 430 controls the inlet / outlet module 340 to introduce the predetermined amount of water into the aquarium 200 To the outside or to the outside.

For example, when the removal of ammonia, which is out of the reference range, corresponds to a component favorable for concentration control and optimal environment, the controller 430 controls the inlet / The water in the aquarium 200 is supplied to the specific component removal / absorption module 420 to remove or adsorb ammonia components and then to supply the purified water back into the aquarium 200, 20 liters of water (for example, 40 liters), which is a preset amount, from the water (for example, 200 liters) inside the aquarium 200 is discharged to the outside through the outflow port by controlling the water outlet 340, Water is introduced into the aquarium 200 by an amount of water (for example, 40 liters). In addition, while the water is being discharged to the outside of the aquarium 200 and the water is flowing into the aquarium 200, the measuring device module 350 measures the temperature of the water inside the aquarium 200 in real time. When the measured temperature of the water in the aquarium 200 (for example, 16 ° C) exceeds a preset reference temperature range (for example, 18 ° C to 20 ° C), the controller 430 controls the inlet / Controls the module 340 to temporarily stop the inflow of water into the aquarium 200 and controls the temperature control module 400 to raise the inside temperature of the aquarium 200.

In another example, when the concentration of the potassium component is outside the reference range, the controller 430 controls the concentration of the component based on the component concentration of each element, 10 mg, which is the supply amount of the fertilizer to be provided, is determined to be 12 mg (S430).

5 is a flowchart illustrating an aquarium management automation method according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

First, the controller 430 determines whether the current time is the supply time set for each element.

That is, the control unit 430 determines whether the current time is the feed time of the feed, whether it is the supply time of the illumination, whether it is the supply time of the fertilizer, whether it is the supply time of the carbon dioxide, .

At this time, the controller 430 may determine whether the element is a supply time of the element corresponding to each timer through a plurality of timers (not shown) allocated for each element.

For example, the controller 430 determines whether the current time is the feeding time of the feed (for example, 6:00 am, 12:00 am and 6:00 pm), the supply time of the illumination (for example, (For example, 9:00 am, 11:00 am, 3:00 pm and 5:00 pm), the supply of the carbon dioxide (For example, 9:00 am, 11:00 am, 3:00 pm and 5:00 pm), the supply time of the specific component (for example, 8:00 am and 8:00 pm), and the like S510).

If it is determined that the current time does not correspond to the supply time set for each element, the controller 430 returns to the process of determining whether the preceding current time is the supply time set for each element.

That is, as a result of the determination, if the current time does not correspond to the supply time of the feed, does not correspond to the supply time of the illumination, does not correspond to the supply time of the fertilizer, does not correspond to the carbon dioxide supply time, If not, the controller 430 returns to the process of determining whether the preceding current time is the supply time set for each element.

For example, if it is determined that the current time (for example, 10:00 am) is the supply time of the feed (for example, 6:00 am, 12:00 pm, 6:00 pm, (For example, 9:00 am, 11:00 am, 3:00 pm, 5:00 pm, etc.) of the above-mentioned fertilizer ), The supply time of the specific component (for example, 8:00 am, 8:00 pm, etc.), the supply time of the carbon dioxide (for example, 9:00 am, 11:00 am, 3:00 pm, The control unit 430 determines that the current time is not the supply time of the feed (for example, 6:00 am, 12:00, 6:00 pm, etc.), the supply time of the illumination (Eg, 11:00 am, 3:00 pm, 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm, etc.), the supply time of the fertilizer (for example, 9:00 am, 11:00 am, 3:00 pm, (Including, for example, 9:00 am, 11:00 am, 3:00 pm, 5:00 pm, etc.) and the supply time of the specific component (for example, 8:00 am, 8:00 pm (Step S510), for example, in step S520.

The temperature control module 400 controls the temperature control module 340 to temporarily stop water inflow into the aquarium 200, The inside temperature of the aquarium 200 is increased or decreased. Thereafter, when the internal temperature of the aquarium 200 is within the reference temperature range, the controller 430 controls the inlet / outlet module 340 to introduce the predetermined amount of water into the aquarium 200 To the outside or to the outside.

For example, when the measured water level in the aquarium 200 exceeds the predetermined reference water level range, the controller 430 determines that the water level inside the aquarium 200 is within the reference water level range A part of the water inside the aquarium 200 is discharged to the outside through the outflow port (S550).
