As the industry develops and diversifies, the damage caused by heavy fog and property damage are frequent and the scale is becoming larger.

Fogs from roads, coastal areas and airports are causing enormous damage to the transportation of vehicles, ships and the aviation industry.

According to the 2004-2006 statistics of the Road Traffic Safety Authority, it is estimated that the number of fatalities is about four times higher than on a clear day, rain, and snow due to mental disorder on the day of fog.

Several methods are being sought to dissipate this fog, such as seeding using a hygroscopic material, strong winds, and heat heating.

As a conventional mist dissipating apparatus, in Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1387710, a mist dispersing unit for spraying hot air, a plurality of supports, a fog correction distance measuring unit, a rainfall snowfall sensor unit, a mist dissipation control unit, An active type fog dissipating system has been proposed, but it has a problem in that it consumes a large amount of energy to generate hot air and causes a high cost, and the roadside air is damaged due to the hot air discharged.

In addition, since the support member is formed in a fixed type that is viewed only in one direction, the hot air is injected only in a specific direction, so that the fog can not be dissipated omnidirectionally on the basis of the support, and the fog dissipation rate is somewhat lowered.

In addition, since the conventional mist dissipating device is made of a common metal material, there is a problem that it is easily worn or corroded when foreign substances such as mist, rain water, snow are contacted.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an operation sequence of a fog removing device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG.

The apparatus for removing fog using solar heat according to the present invention includes a mechanism including an inner space into which hydrogen or helium can be injected, and an injection unit capable of injecting hydrogen or helium into the inner space of the mechanism.

Hydrogen and helium are elemental symbols 1 and 2, with very small molecular weight and light weight. Therefore, it is very light compared to the air in the air, so it is used to float the mist eliminator in the air. However, since there is no particular directionality with respect to the external environment such as wind, it is necessary to provide a separate adjusting device such as a drone main body described later in order to reflect sunlight to a desired place.

The apparatus for removing fog using solar heat according to the present invention comprises: a drone main body provided with a drive control unit and providing a driving force; An imaging device installed in the drones; And a first connection unit connecting the drone main body and the mechanical unit.

A fog removing apparatus using solar heat according to the present invention includes a reflection plate for receiving sunlight and reflecting sunlight to a specific point; And a second connection unit for connecting the drones to the reflector.

The reflector may include a solar panel that collects sunlight and generates electricity to generate electricity, and the reflector may include at least one metal material selected from the group consisting of magnesium and aluminum. Basically, in order to reflect sunlight, it is necessary to use a material having good reflection performance. Among metal materials, metal components such as aluminum foil and magnesium can reflect solar light well and obtain good efficiency.

Further, it is possible to form the reflection plate so as to have various functions instead of merely reflecting sunlight. That is, since the fog occurs mostly at the early morning or early morning, it is often not used during the daytime after using the fog removing device according to the present invention. At this time, it is possible to produce and use the electric energy using the solar panel instead of leaving the mist removing device alone. The energy can be stored and used to drive the drone itself. In this case, it is not troublesome to inject separate driving energy into the mist eliminator, so that it is easy to use. In addition to driving the drones themselves, they also accumulate energy, and when they land on the ground, they can be stored in a separate energy storage space and used elsewhere. In addition, the efficiency of the solar module varies depending on the incidence direction and the incidence angle of the sunlight. However, the fog removing device according to the present invention can achieve the best efficiency according to incidence angle and incidence angle of the sunlight, The effect can be maximized.

In order to reflect the sunlight to a desired position using a reflector connected to the body of the drones, a drone body is required if the mechanism is intended to float the mist removing device. The drone body can control the direction by remote control using wireless communication. By using this principle, the fog can be removed by reflecting the sunlight in an area where a lot of fog occurs. In addition, the drone main body can be provided with a photographing device and photographs and provides an external environmental condition, so that it can be utilized for various purposes such as a weather condition grasp, a ground photographing, and the like.

Further, the reflector reflects sunlight to a solar power generating facility installed on the ground, and the solar power generating facility can be driven to absorb the reflected sunlight to generate electric energy. This has the advantage of not only installing solar panels on the apparatus, but also maximizing the efficiency of solar power generation by concentrating the sunlight on the ground solar power generation facilities. That is, according to the present invention, the fog can be removed by reflecting the sunlight, the sunlight can be directly absorbed by the sunlight, and the sunlight can be reflected to the ground photovoltaic power generation facility Which is an invention capable of performing various functions simultaneously.

Drones are unmanned aerial vehicles that can be controlled by radio waves. Cameras, sensors and communication systems, and weighs between 25g and 1200kg. Initially, it was used as a target instead of the enemy in the practice shooting of an air force, an anti-aircraft gun, and a missile. However, the development of the wireless technology and the development of the reconnaissance aircraft gradually penetrated deeply into the enemy's inland. Recently, it has been used as an attacker by attaching various weapons such as a missile to a drone. Drones have been developed variously in various sizes and performances according to the purpose of use, but not only for military use but also for miniature drones, they are being actively developed and studied. There are also many things that have been developed and commercialized as personal hobbies. The drones are put into operation in areas that are not accessible to humans, such as jungles, remote areas, volcanic areas, natural disasters, and nuclear power plant accident areas. Recently, the application range of drones has been gradually widened by utilizing dron for transportation purposes. In the early days when the drones were developed, they were classified as target drone, reconnaissance drone, surveillance drone, but now it is possible to classify according to the application purpose.

The United States has used the drones since 2004. In 2010, it bombed Pakistan and Yemen with more than 122 drones. The Bureau of Investigative Journalism, a not-for-profit news agency, reported that "the drones attack in the United States created two to three thousand casualties." When hundreds of civilians, including children, were killed in a drones attack, criticism of the drones was aggravated. US President Barack Obama has since decided to set a more stringent standard for indiscriminate bombardment of drones, and has also reduced attacks using drones.

Currently, drone is used not only for military use but also for business, media, and individual use. But still 90% of the products on the drones market are military. In the future, many advanced countries, especially in the United States, will be more inclined to increase their technology. The US Department of Defense decided to build a separate airport for the drones in December 2014 and invested $ 33 million.

In Korea, Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) and Korean Air are active in research and development of drones. Defense companies, small and medium-sized businesses, and home delivery companies are also interested in drone. Korea still has many limitations in using drones. The drones are still being handled as aircraft, and the law is still in the process of being used primarily for military or public service. To expand the drones to commercial, related regulations or legal amendments are needed. This situation is similar not only in Korea but also in North America and Europe.

Companies around the world, such as Google, Facebook and Amazon, are keen to develop new drone technology in recent years. Amazon unveiled a new shipping system called 'Prime Air' in December 2013. Amazon is investing in technology to automate inventory management and distribution systems. Amazon Prime Air is a distribution service on behalf of the drones. Amazon hired many researchers to develop drones for this. Amazon is waiting for the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to approve it, and will release a drones delivery service as legal restrictions are lifted.

Drones do not have merit. Many countries consider 'safety' as the biggest problem of drones. Terrorists can deliver dangerous materials to the drones, or the drones may break down and suddenly crash. There is also a risk of being hacked or bumping into obstacles. The more drones you shoot, the greater the threat of privacy. Currently, most of the drones that are used for commercial purposes by broadcasters are reported to the relevant ministry in advance. DHL has also set up a flight section for drones and operates at speeds of up to 40 miles an hour. Due to these disadvantages, the present invention has invented various apparatuses and methods for increasing the safety and high efficiency of the apparatus in the apparatus for removing fog using drones, which will be described later.

Also, the apparatus for removing fog using solar heat according to the present invention includes a mechanism including an internal space into which hydrogen or helium can be injected; An injecting unit capable of injecting hydrogen or helium into the internal space of the mechanical unit; A central control unit on which a person can ride to control the mechanism unit; An imaging device installed in the central control unit; A first connection unit connecting the central control unit and the mechanical unit; A reflector that accepts sunlight and reflects the sunlight to a specific point; And a second connection unit connecting the central control unit and the reflector.

The difference from the above-described invention is that a central control unit is installed in place of the drones for direct maneuvering. This central control unit has the advantage that it can be controlled more precisely than when using the dron by visual confirmation and control by the person. Hereinafter, the other configurations are the same, and a description thereof will be omitted.

The fog removing apparatus using solar heat according to the present invention may further include a communication unit for transmitting a driving signal to a driving control unit installed in the drone main body through a wireless communication network, A storage unit for storing the data; A determining unit for analyzing the fog information stored in the storage unit and determining a place to remove the fog using the fog removing apparatus; And a driving signal transmission unit for transmitting a driving signal for driving the drone main body unit so that the sunlight reflected by the reflection plate can be irradiated to a place determined by the crystal unit.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the communication unit may be installed inside the drones or outside the drones. When installed on the outside of the drone body, it is preferable that the drone is installed on the ground so as to transmit a radio signal that can control the drone. The operating function of the drone analyzing the environment and running information may be mounted in the drone body, And may be operated in a separate external drones operating system.

The determining unit analyzes the radio wave environment information and the operation restriction information of the wireless communication network according to the spatial position of the fog removing device using the solar heat and then determines whether or not the dron is operated on the basis of the starting point and the destination of the dron main body The driving signal transmission unit transmits a driving signal to the driving control unit of the drones so that the driving signal can be driven according to the driving route and the driving altitude, And a function restricting area in which functions mounted on the drones are limited, wherein the path determining unit determines whether or not a propagation environment of a predetermined standard or more is provided based on the propagation environment information Determining the driving route and the driving altitude so as to pass the area and the altitude, The driving route and the driving altitude can be determined so as to avoid the operation restriction area.

As noted above, drones often have limited travel restrictions depending on the country and region. In this case, the operation limitation information is analyzed for efficient drone operation, and the use of the fog removing device is maximized by operating the drone correspondingly.

The communication unit may generate control information for the running drone based on the position information received from the running drone main unit and the travel restriction information, and transmits the generated control information to the drive control unit Wherein the control unit controls the access or entry to the restricted area in the case where the intruder body is in or out of the restricted area based on the location information and the restricted travel information And the control unit generates at least one of a running direction and a running altitude of the drones in operation when the drones are approaching or entering the restricted operation area based on the position information A control signal for changing the operating state of the drone main body Generating a control signal for blocking the drive function by way of a signaling can be transmitted to the drive control.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is evident that many alternatives, modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. will be.

It is therefore to be understood that the embodiments described above are to be considered in all respects only as illustrative and not restrictive, the scope of the invention being indicated by the appended claims, It is intended that all changes and modifications derived from the equivalent concept be included within the scope of the present invention.
