It is about a smart buoy.

To date, various damage cases have occurred in Korea, including marine pollution by waste fishing gear, marine accidents, and economic loss. About 33,000 tons of waste fishing gear are deposited every year, and nylon fishing gear, which occupies a large proportion of fishing gear, takes about 600 years to decompose, causing marine pollution.

In addition, economic losses due to'ghost fishing' in which marine organisms are caught or trapped and killed by waste fishing gear amount to about 380 billion won annually, and marine accidents such as ship aground due to waste fishing gear are also steadily occurring. to be.

As such, the government has introduced various systems to prevent various damages caused by waste fishing gear, but has not been effective. Among the various systems, the fishing gear real-name system, which has been implemented beforehand, is a system in which buoys or flags are installed on fishing gear and fishing nets installed in the sea to indicate the matters of the owner and fishing permission. To prevent the risk of marine accidents due to rapid decline and depletion of fishery resources due to pollution of the marine environment, and waste fishing gear, fishery management due to intensifying fishing disputes arising from the indiscriminate use of fishing gear and excessive expenditure on fishing gear expenses It was introduced to improve the deteriorating structure.

7 is a view schematically showing the operation of the gear coupling unit according to the fastening state of the gear according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 7, the phrase loss detection and determination unit 1131 includes a magnetic sensor unit 1132 for detecting a change in magnetic strength; And a central processing unit (1133) for determining whether or not the fishing gear 2000 is lost based on a change in magnetic intensity detected by the magnetic body sensor unit 1132; 2000) is fastened, the magnetic body part 1420 receives a force downward by the weight of the fishing gear 2000, and the distance to the magnetic body sensor part 1132 increases, so that the magnetic body sensor part 1132 detects it. When the strength of the magnetic force decreases and the gear 2000 is lost in the gear ring part 1300, the magnetic body part 1420 receives a force upward by the spring part 1430, and the magnetic body sensor It is characterized in that the distance to the part 1132 decreases, so that the magnetic strength sensed by the magnetic sensor part 1132 increases.

Specifically, (A) of FIG. 7 corresponds to a view showing the state of the gear coupling part 1400 when the gear 2000 is fastened to the gear hook part 1300. When the gear 2000 is fastened to the gear hook part 1300, the moving rod part 1410 fastened to the gear hook part 1300 by the weight of the gear 2000 receives a force downward. , The spring portion 1430 disposed along the outer circumferential surface of the moving rod portion 1410 may be supported and compressed at both ends by the flange structure formed of the moving rod portion 1410 and the spring support portion 1440. In addition, the position of the magnetic body portion 1420 is lower than the position when the first gear 2000 is not fastened because the moving rod portion 1410 receives a downward force. Therefore, the distance between the magnetic body sensor unit 1132 included in the phrase loss detection and determination unit 1131 and the magnetic body unit 1420 increases, so that the change value of the magnetic strength detected by the magnetic body sensor unit 1132 is Therefore, it is possible to determine that the fishing gear 2000 is fastened by the central processing unit 1133 included in the fishing gear loss detection and determination unit 1131.

On the other hand, (B) of FIG. 7 corresponds to a view showing the state of the gear coupling part 1400 when the fastened gear 2000 is lost from the gear hook part 1300. When the fishing gear 2000 fastened to the fishing gear hook part 1300 as shown in FIG. 7A is lost as in FIG. 7B, the moving rod part ( Since the lower force received by 1410 is reduced, the compressed spring portion 1430 applies a force in the upward direction by a restoring force or an elastic force, and thus the moving rod portion 1410 moves upward.

Therefore, the position of the magnetic body part 1420 is higher than the position when the gear 2000 is fastened. Accordingly, the distance between the magnetic body sensor unit 1132 and the magnetic body unit 1420 decreases, so that the change value of the magnetic strength detected by the magnetic body sensor unit 1132 decreases, and eventually the fastened phrase 2000 It can be determined in the main processing unit that is lost.

More specifically, since the magnetic body sensor unit 1132 detects a change value of magnetic strength based on the distance to the magnetic body, the range and change value of the magnetic strength value that can be detected by the magnetic body sensor unit 1132 In consideration of the like, a material for the magnetic body 1420 may be selected. Conversely, the magnetic body sensor unit 1132 may be designed in consideration of a change value of detectable magnetic strength based on the inherent magnetic force of the material of the magnetic body unit 1420.

8 is a diagram schematically showing components of a substrate unit according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Specifically, the phrase loss detection and determination unit 1131 includes the magnetic body sensor unit 1132 and the central processing unit 1133, and the magnetic body sensor unit 1132 is generated by the phrase coupling unit 1400. Based on the magnetic intensity value, a change in magnetic intensity occurring due to the loss of the phrase 2000 and the influence of the external environment may be detected. Therefore, the magnetic body sensor unit 1132 is preferably disposed at a position adjacent to the phrase coupling unit 1400 so as to easily detect a change value of the magnetic strength generated by the phrase coupling unit 1400. Accordingly, the phrase loss detection and determination unit 1131 may be disposed at the lower end of the substrate unit 1130.

In addition, the central processing unit 1133 may play a role of controlling the driving of the smart buoy 1000. For example, the communication unit (1136) is connected to the communication unit (1136) to process information received from the communication unit (1136), or to determine whether the phrase 2000 is lost or not, and the status information of the smart buoy (1000) to the communication unit ( 1136) can be transmitted to other smart buoys and external servers or systems.

More specifically, the value of the magnetic strength received from the magnetic body sensor unit 1132 is a change value of magnetic strength according to a position change of the magnetic body unit 1420 or a magnetic strength value according to the position of the magnetic body unit 1420 Can be When the central processing unit 1133 receives the change value of the magnetic strength, it determines whether the gear 2000 is fastened or lost based on the increase and decrease of the change value of the magnetic strength, and the magnetic strength value In the case of receiving a, a reference value that is a reference for comparison of the magnetic intensity value is previously stored, and whether the phrase 2000 is fastened or lost is determined based on the reference value and the magnetic intensity value.

In addition, the central processing unit 1133 may derive a phrase loss processing signal including the determination result, and transmit it to the outside through the communication unit 1136. Meanwhile, the phrase loss processing signal may further include coordinate information on the location of the current smart buoy 1000.

In addition, the central processing unit 1133 may not only determine whether the gear 2000 is lost, but also determine the degree of fastening of the gear 2000 based on a change value of the magnetic strength. More specifically, when the change value of the magnetic intensity sensed by the magnetic body sensor unit 1132 is between a preset first reference value and a second reference value, the central processing unit 1133 completely loses the phrase 2000. Rather, it can be determined that the fastening strength has decreased, and if it is less than the first reference value, it can be determined that the fishing gear 2000 is well fastened, and when it exceeds the second reference value, the fishing gear 2000 is completely lost. It can be determined that it has been done.

Meanwhile, the central processing unit 1133 may include a central processing unit, a microprocessor, and an MCU in order to process the received information, and separate the central processing unit 1133 to store the received information and the generated information.
