It relates to a device control method and an algae prevention system therefor.

Floating photovoltaic power generation systems that install solar panels on the water surface of rivers, lakes, reservoirs, dams, etc. are being actively proposed to secure a wide open installation area with abundant sunlight, and are also being put into actual construction. However, whether it is a photovoltaic power generation system installed on water or a photovoltaic power generation system installed on land, a large number of birds land on the upper part of the solar panel and become contaminated by excreted feces. It is contained and corrodes the solar panel and interferes with the incidence of sunlight, thereby reducing power generation efficiency.

Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1899794 is disclosed as a device for limiting the access of birds from the solar cell module.

As shown in FIG. 1, this technology includes a plurality of photovoltaic modules 11, a support frame 12 for supporting the plurality of photovoltaic modules 11, and a support A floating body 13 installed at the bottom of the frame 12 to float the support frame 12 on the surface of the water, and detachably installed at the top of the support frame 12 so that birds approach the photovoltaic module 11 It includes a bird access prevention device 14 that blocks it.

One side of this support frame 12 is rotatably coupled to the first rotational member 17 installed above the connecting table 15 . At this time, the support frame 12 is hinged to the first rotational member 17 so as to be rotatable, and may be inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to the connecting table 15 . In addition, a plurality of mounting brackets 18 may be further installed at regular intervals in order to stably mount the photovoltaic module 11 on the upper portion of the support frame 12 .

The mounting bracket 18 may be made of a C-shaped steel having a shape of 'C' or 'c' for approximate support strength, but this is an example, and external impact applied to the photovoltaic module 11, for example, from strong winds, etc. In order to mitigate the shock applied to the solar module 11, it may be made of synthetic resin (rubber, etc.) having elasticity or a compression spring in the form of a wire.

The connecting rod 15 interconnects a plurality of floating bodies 13 disposed at regular intervals in one direction, and the lower ends of the plurality of support frames 12 are rotatably coupled to the upper portion thereof. The connecting rod 15 may be formed in a beam shape or a pipe shape.

The support frame 12 is preferably disposed inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to the surface of the water in order to allow as much light as possible to be incident on the solar panel 11 mounted thereon. To this end, the support frame 12 is supported at an angle by an inclined support 16 .

The inclined support 16 has an upper portion coupled to the support frame 12 and a lower portion rotatably coupled to the connecting rod 15 through the second pivot member 19 . At this time, the inclined support 16 may be disposed so that the upper and lower sides are rotatably coupled so that the support frame 12 is inclined at an arbitrary angle. For this purpose, the inclined support 16 preferably has an upper portion rotatably coupled to the support frame 12 and a lower portion rotatably coupled to the connecting rod 15 .

Although not specifically shown, the second pivoting member 19 is a linkage so that the angle of the solar module 11 can be freely adjusted by arbitrarily changing the position of the lower part of the inclined support 16 supported on the linkage 15 ( 15) can be coupled to slide in the longitudinal direction. For example, guide grooves (or guide rails) are formed on the side of the connecting rod 15 in the longitudinal direction, and a defective protrusion coupled to the guide groove is provided on the second pivot member 19 along the guide groove. Linear reciprocating motion in the longitudinal direction of the connecting rod 15 is possible.

In the prior art described above, the wire support is passively fixed without actively responding, and the range is limited to the top of the array, which is a photovoltaic power generation facility, and it is possible to partially prevent birds from accessing the photovoltaic module plate. It is impossible to prevent algae by sitting all over the solar module plate. In particular, in the case of offshore facilities without obstacles, the probability that birds can sit on the photovoltaic module board increases because there is no slope because the advantage of increasing power generation efficiency is to make the photovoltaic module as free from the slope as possible. The technology of the present invention is a cost-saving, eco-friendly and semi-permanent technology that can actively defend the entire photovoltaic module board from birds according to bird detection in the existing passive part, and is suitable for airfields, orchards, fish farms, solar power generation facilities, and buildings. It is an algae prevention system that can be used in various places such as,

2 is a control structure diagram of an anti-algae system using a drive control device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the bird prevention system using the drive control device 100 of the present invention, a thin wire is used as a means to block the access of birds,

The thin line is fixed and connected to the groove of the horizontal support 420 fixed in the horizontal direction on the upper part of the two vertical supports 430, and the spring device is connected to the groove of the horizontal support to pull the thin line and the birds collide. It can act as a buffer at times.

The vertical support 430 of the drive control device 100 is located on a straight line in the horizontal direction of the object, and two vertical supports 430 are installed in the center at the beginning and end of the object to be protected by birds.

However, this installation range is not limited, and the number of drive control devices 100 can be increased or decreased according to the range of the target object by only one pair.

The vertical support 430 is continuously or selectively driven. For example, it can be stopped in normal times when there is no bird, or it can be rotated slowly left and right using a very fine time difference for continuous monitoring. When it is determined that a bird is approaching, the rotation speed of the installed motor 450 is increased The reciprocating speed of the vertical support 430 connected to the power converter 460 is increased.

Here, the vertical support 430 may be configured to increase and decrease the vertical support 430 vertically without fixing the range to be protected from birds. In this case, there is no need to be concerned with the number of objects to be protected. In other words, if only two vertical supports 430 are installed and it is determined according to the growth rate and area required by the target to which birds approach, the vertical supports 430 can be increased or decreased vertically according to the corresponding range, and drive control is also performed. The number of devices 100 may be increased and installed.

In addition, a plurality of vertical supports 430 may be installed and provided, and a plurality of vertical supports having different angles may be provided on one rotation axis, so that several vertical supports may be alternately and sequentially moved with respect to a certain angle. .

The vertical supports 430 configured as described above operate in pairs with the monitoring sensors 440 installed in the same direction. That is, the condition in which the vertical supports 430 installed in both directions are driven is when the bird approach is detected by the monitoring sensor 440 installed in the direction in which the vertical supports 430 to be driven are facing each other.

A condition in which the plurality of driving control devices 100 are driven simultaneously will be a case in which birds are sensed from both directions by the plurality of monitoring sensors 430 .

In the monitoring sensor 440 for eradicating algae of the present invention, the various types of monitoring sensors 440 are used as the bird access monitoring means. An optical sensor is a device that monitors movement using light, and since such a device is a well-known technology, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The monitoring sensor 440 of the present invention is configured to sense the approach of a bird in a 360° direction at an appropriate location according to the vertical support 430 and the environment of the target place to be protected.

Unlike the drive control device 100, the monitoring sensor 440 may also be used while rotating as needed, so only one may be configured. The monitoring sensor 440 may be replaced with an ultrasonic sensor for distance detection.

In addition, when the driving control device is operated continuously, there is no need to place a monitoring sensor.

When a bird approaches, the control unit 300 may adjust the left and right rotation speed of the vertical support 430 to block the bird from approaching according to a program for recognizing the bird.

When there is no tide, it can be gently rotated left and right over a certain period of time, and when a bird is detected by the monitoring sensor 440, the control unit 300 adjusts the rotation speed to determine that the bird is very close to the motor It is to effectively perform the drive control device 100 in order to prevent birds from approaching by increasing the speed of 450.

In this way, in order to drive the vertical support 430 left and right, it is connected to the power converter 460 that reciprocates the rotation direction of the motor 450 to the left and right, and adjusts the angle according to the change in the range of the target to be protected, or the vertical support ( 430) to adjust the length up and down.

A horizontal support 420 is configured above the vertical support 430 . The horizontal support is composed of grooves that can connect one or more thin lines at regular intervals in the horizontal direction. This has the effect of reducing the number of left and right repetitions, and in order to protect birds environmentally, one or more thin lines are connected with a width of less than 10 cm, which is difficult for birds to approach visually, and even if birds collide with the thin line, it protects the wings. It has an effect.

As a result of analyzing the habits of birds, birds do not try to fly through gaps where they cannot fly. The gap is a gap (space) with a height of 5 cm and a width of 10 cm. The method that experts came up with using these characteristics of birds is the ‘5X10 rule’. It is to mark dots or lines with a diameter of 8 mm or more using paint and stickers at 5X10 intervals on the windows of a building. This way, the birds will perceive that they cannot pass, and will avoid the windows and fly. However, this rule must apply outside buildings. This is because if you put a dot indoors, you cannot prevent the reflection of the outside scenery. In the case of a transparent soundproof wall, there is also a method to reduce the impact by hanging lines with a thickness of 6 mm or more at 10 cm intervals, or by installing a net at an appropriate distance from the window. It is also good to utilize UV reflection and absorption patterns. Unlike humans, birds can see ultraviolet light, so this method is considered a good measure to prevent bird crashes.

Therefore, it is preferable that one or more thin lines are connected and provided with a width of less than 10 cm.

In the anti-algae system using the drive control device 100 of the present invention, a solar battery and AC power are used as a power source, and the AC power is converted into DC power using a converter and used. It is configured so that it can be used at night by collecting sunlight through a solar module plate installed in a certain portion and storing power in a battery 220.

Figure 3 is a mechanical structural diagram of a drive control device for reciprocating the vertical support left and right according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the device of FIG. 3, a monitoring device is configured at the top of the vertical support 430 in consideration that fruit trees are usually tall and birds mainly approach the upper end of the fruit tree, and a separate monitoring sensor 440 support is provided as the target can be installed in the center of The battery 220 is configured to be charged by receiving sunlight on the top of the drive control device 100 .

In addition, the present invention constitutes a DC power source such as a battery in consideration of weather conditions such as cloudy days and rainy days in which the use of solar cells is impossible.

The thin line, the vertical support 430, the motor 450, the power converter 460, the monitoring sensor 440, the solar cell and the battery 220 of the invention are a controller installed in a predetermined part of the drive control device 100 It is driven by the control of 300.

As shown in FIG. 3, the anti-tide system using the drive control device 100 of the present invention is configured by connecting the vertical support 430 with the power converter 460, and the power converter 460 has a motor 450 ) is configured by connecting to The power converter 460 is configured to adjust the left and right angles of the vertical support 430. The height of the vertical support 430 can be adjusted according to the range of objects to be protected from birds.

For example, another support (not shown) is configured inside the vertical support 430, and the support configured inside has only a hole for inserting a bolt (not shown), maintains a fixed state, and is configured on the outside. Only the vertical support 420 is movable up and down so that the height can be adjusted by combining the external support with the internal support through the bolt insertion hole formed corresponding to the bolt insertion hole formed in the internal support.

In order to be able to adjust the rotation speed and time of the motor 450, a microcomputer must be installed in the control unit 300 and programmed to be adjustable according to a program.

4 is a diagram showing the mechanical structure of a power converter according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the device of FIG. 4, when an orchard is taken as an example, the height of the fruit tree grows taller than that of the photovoltaic power generation facility, and the vertical support 430 is placed by adjusting the vertical support 430 vertically in consideration of the fact that birds approach the upper end of the crop , constitutes the drive control device 100 at the bottom thereof.

Other structures are the same as those shown in FIG. 2 .

In the device of FIG. 4, by installing the drive control device 100 at both ends of the object to be protected and rotating it left and right in a semicircle, it has a shape as if a dome is covered in the bird's view

The monitoring sensor 440 is configured at the top of the vertical support 430 and a separate support, and the drive control device 100 is disposed at the center of both ends of the target to effectively fight birds.

The control unit 300 is a means for controlling the driving unit 400, monitoring sensor 440, and power supply unit 200, which are components of the present invention. When the approach of a bird is detected by the monitoring sensor 440, the driving unit 400 ) to reciprocate the vertical support 430 left and right.

In addition, as described above, when a bird is detected, the control unit 300 can rapidly adjust the speed of gently reciprocating rotation, and operates by setting the controller 300 to operate for a certain period of time.

Looking at the structure of the power conversion device of Figure 4, a shaft connected to the groove of the vertical support is formed in a circular or straight rotating device for converting power to the motor. The shaft serves to rotate while the lower part of the vertical support is fixed,

The groove in the center has a fixed shaft in one of the circular rotating bodies and is connected to the groove of the vertical support. There is also a long groove on the top of the vertical support, the groove on the top is connected to the horizontal support (410). The horizontal support is configured to perform horizontal movement according to the inclination of the solar module plate. The means for horizontal movement is connected to the grooves of the horizontal support 410 fixedly installed at both ends of the photovoltaic module array at both ends of the rotation shaft with the hook connected to the thin line, and is connected to the groove of the upper vertical support.

Figure 5 (a) shows that it is operated by setting it to operate for a certain period of time, and Figure 5 (b) shows the state before operation by determining whether a bird approaches the target to be protected through a monitoring sensor.

These operations will be described in more detail as follows.

The left and right reciprocating drive means of the vertical support 430 uses a conventional motor 450, and the rotating motor 450 is connected to the power converter 460 for left and right reciprocating motion, and the power converter 460 The number of reciprocations of the vertical support connected to is driven according to the rotational speed of the motor.

First, power is applied to the drive control device 100 . Power may be AC power or DC power.
