As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 , the water tank monitoring method of the present invention is based on a water tank monitoring system built to monitor the state of the water tank.

Here, the water tank monitoring system includes a sensor unit provided to measure the water temperature in the water tank and the air temperature of the area where the water tank is installed, a control unit connected to the sensor unit and configured to calculate a deviation value between the water temperature and the air temperature, an input unit, It includes a service server and notification means connected to the control unit in communication.

In particular, the information calculation step (S70) compares the water tank temperature deviation value generated through the deviation value calculation step (S60) with the reference temperature deviation value of the reference information, so that the water tank temperature deviation value is the reference temperature deviation value. It proceeds to determine whether it is out of the range of .

In particular, when the control unit determines that the water tank temperature deviation value is out of the reference temperature deviation value, a range deviation signal is generated and transmitted to the service server.

And, when it is determined that the water tank temperature deviation value does not deviate from the range of the reference temperature deviation value, the temperature information acquisition step (S50) may be performed again.

And, the risk possibility information generation step (S100) is a step that proceeds through the service server after the information calculation step (S70).

In particular, the risk possibility information generating step (S100) generates risk possibility information, which is information indicating that the temperature in the tank may exceed the survivable temperature of the fish according to the result of the information calculation step (S70).

Thereafter, in a state where the water temperature and the air temperature are matched, the temperature control unit 400 is operated at maximum output to change the water temperature up to the target temperature value of the performance judgment reference information input through the input unit 300.

At this time, the control unit 200 receiving the temperature matching signal is connected to the temperature controller 400 by communication and generates maximum performance information representing the maximum performance of the temperature controller 400 installed in the water tank. will do

Thereafter, the controller 200 receives the water temperature and air temperature from the sensor unit 100 after generating the maximum performance information, and sets the water temperature through the temperature controller within a predetermined time based on the maximum performance information. It will be judged if it can be returned to the water temperature.

Thereafter, when the controller 200 determines that the temperature control unit cannot return to the preset water temperature, it generates a non-return signal and transmits it to the service server S.

The information calculation step (S70) is performed after the temperature controller performance calculation step (S20), and returns the water temperature to a preset water temperature through the temperature controller within a predetermined time based on the maximum performance information. We proceed to determine if it is possible.

At this time, the preset water temperature represents a water temperature at which the fish accommodated in the tank may die.

More specifically, when the information calculation step (S70) proceeds, when the control unit determines that the temperature controller cannot return to the preset water temperature within a preset time during the operation of the temperature controller, a return impossible signal is generated to provide the service It is sent to the server side.

Here, the predetermined time represents the time from the time point at which the water temperature in the tank out of the normal water temperature range is confirmed to the point at which the fish in the tank can survive when the water temperature in the tank is maintained.
