Description

Diode) to prevent collisions.

In general, power transmission lines are very dangerous air obstacles for low-flying aircraft. Therefore, in accordance with the Civil Aviation Organization regulations (ICAO Annex 14-Aerodrom Design Manual) and the domestic aviation law, to display as an obstacle in the sky, an aviation obstacle indicator that functions as an aviation obstacle indicator is installed on the overhead line installed at the top between the transmission towers. is supposed to do

However, at night, there is no appropriate display device, so display devices of the hanging type are being introduced.

That is, there is an aviation obstacle display zone that functions as an aviation obstacle light by emitting an LED lamp based on wind-induced vibration by improving the conventional aviation obstacle display zone.

However, since the conventional aviation obstacle display sphere cannot adjust the brightness according to the distance to the object to be collided with when the aircraft approaches, and emits light only with a constant brightness, the pilot cannot intuitively recognize the expected collision distance, thereby preventing a collision. There were problems that could not be prevented.

Embodiments of the present invention may be modified in various forms, and the scope of the present invention should not be construed as being limited to the examples described in detail below. Therefore, the shapes of elements in the drawings may be exaggerated to emphasize a clearer description. It should be noted that in each drawing, the same configuration may be indicated by the same reference numerals. Detailed descriptions of well-known functions and configurations that may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention are omitted.

An aviation obstacle indicator device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of transmission towers 10; Transmission lines 20 installed at a certain height from the ground between the transmission towers 10; An aviation obstacle indicator light 30 installed on the power transmission line 20 and emitting light; And it is installed on one side of the two transmission pylons 10 and measures the distance and angle from an object to be collided with (P) such as an aircraft based on triangulation and the two transmission pylons 10 to indicate the aviation obstacle. It includes first and second distance measurement modules 40 and 50 which adjust the light intensity of the lamp 30.

That is, the transmission line 20 is installed at a height of 60 to 100 m above the ground, the transmission line 20 includes an overhead branch line 22 and a power line 24, and the overhead branch line 22 displays the aviation obstacle. A light 30 is installed.

The aviation obstacle indicator light 30 is usually manufactured in two colors, and a plurality of them are installed so that the two colors are alternately hung at regular intervals along the processing branch line 22, thereby facilitating visual identification during the day play a role

At this time, the appearance of the aviation obstacle indicator light 30 is composed of a case in which a cable cover capable of covering the overhead branch line 22 is formed on the side through which the overhead branch line 22 passes, and the cable The cover and the case are preferably made of a material through which light emitted from the inside is transmitted.

Inside the aviation obstacle indicator light 30, a piezoelectric element power generation unit 31 for converting vibration energy caused by wind into electrical energy; a converter 32 converting electricity generated from the piezoelectric power generation unit 31; a battery 33 for storing electrical energy produced by the piezoelectric power generation unit 31; An LED light emitting element 34 emitting light by receiving the electric energy produced by the piezoelectric element power generation unit 31; A first method for supplying the electricity converted by the converter 32 and the electricity stored in the battery 33 to the light emitting element 34 or storing the electricity converted by the converter 32 in the battery 33 power supply unit 35; And when the distance measurement signal is received from the first and second distance measuring modules 40 and 50 and is closer than a preset collision separation distance reference value with an object P such as an aircraft, the light intensity of the light emitting element 34 is increased. It is configured to include; a control unit 36 to do.

At this time, the light emitting element 34 emits light (blinks) while adjusting the light intensity according to the distance between the first and second distance measurement modules 40 and 50 and the object P to be collided with, such as an aircraft, according to the triangulation method. do.

That is, in the case of the light emitting element 34, when turbocharging is performed, an overcurrent may flow more than usual to increase brightness up to 10 times.

The light emitting element 34 emits light so that the brightness increases as the aircraft approaches the transmission tower 10, the transmission line 20, and the aviation obstacle indicator light 30, so that the aircraft pilot can operate during the day and at night. It plays a role in preventing crashes by improving cognitive abilities.

The controller 36 transmits and receives signals with the first and second distance measurement modules 40 and 50 through wireless communication, and wireless communication includes TRS (Trunked Radio System), LoRa (Long Range), and LTE. (Long Term Evoiution), e-WSN (Wireless Sensor Network for Energy System), etc. can be used, and two or more methods can be used in combination, such as TRS + LoRa and LTE + LoRa.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 , the control unit 36 determines the distance and angle from the two transmission towers 10 by the first and second distance measurement modules 40 and 50 according to the triangulation method. Accordingly, the transmission pylon 10 and the distance from the transmission pylon 10 are calculated.

That is, the above two The distance (L) between the two transmission pylons (10) is known, and the transmission pylon to which an object (P) such as an approaching aircraft and two first and second distance measuring modules (40, 50) are respectively attached. If the angles α and β with respect to (10) are known, the distance d between the overhead branch line 22 and the power line 24 between the transmission towers 10 can be known.

The controller 42 controls the brightness of the light emitting element 34 to be adjusted. output a signal That is, the light emitting element 34 receiving the signal for increasing the amount of light sent from the control unit 42 increases the amount of light by flowing a higher current as the object P, such as an aircraft, approaches.

As shown in FIG. 4, the aviation obstacle indicator light 30 of the present invention configured as described above has a brightness of 1 when the distance from the transmission line 20 between the transmission towers 10 and the transmission towers 10 is long, and when the distance is short You can control it to be brighter with Brightness 2.

That is, as the distance is closer, the brightness of the light emitting element 34 in the aviation obstacle indicator lamp 30 should be increased by receiving a signal measured based on triangulation.

Since manned aircraft and the like depend on the eyesight of the pilot, as the brightness of the light emitting element 34 in the aviation obstacle indicator light 30 becomes brighter, it becomes much easier to recognize, and the two first pylons installed for each transmission tower 10, respectively. And since a collision can be prevented in advance by simply measuring the distance to the object P such as an aircraft through the second distance measuring module 40, 50, the aviation obstacle indicator light 30 is efficiently emitted at night. , it is possible to effectively recognize the existence of the aircraft driver, thereby minimizing human life and damage due to power system failure.
