Description

Order Apparatus {IMPERMEABLE APPARATUS}

The present disclosure relates to a water blocking device, and specifically relates to a water blocking device for preventing water overflow.

In Korea, due to the nature of the climate, heavy rain falls during the summer, causing flooding damage in many areas. To prevent such flooding damage, the Korea Meteorological Administration is making efforts to help citizens protect their property and safety by issuing special weather warnings. However, even if a weather warning is issued, if there is no means to prevent water flooding, damage to property and safety may occur.

As a simple tool to prevent such flooding damage, sandbags or water barriers may exist. Sandbags are bags filled with sand and may be provided near areas where flooding damage occurs. People can prevent flooding by stacking sandbags when a heavy rain warning is issued. Water barriers can be installed at the entrance of a building or at the entrance of an underground parking lot to prevent water from flowing into the building.

Such sandbags or water barriers may require manpower to install. It is natural that human labor is consumed to stack sandbags, and the water barriers may also be laid down during normal times so as not to impede the passage of people. However, due to the sudden nature of heavy rain, it may be difficult for people to install water barriers when heavy rain is already falling. Accordingly, even if water barriers that consume human resources are installed in buildings, there are cases where they cannot be used urgently when needed.

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4 , the water treatment device 1000 may include a body structure 100 and a control unit 200. However, the above-described components are not essential for implementing the water-watering device 1000, so the water-watering device 1000 may have more or fewer components than the components listed above.

The water blocking device 1000 can be installed at the entrance of a building, the entrance of an underground parking lot, or the entrance of a subway to prevent water overflow.

The body structure 100 may include a support part 110, a water blocking plate 120, and a driving part 130.

The body structure 100 may form the outer shape of the water blocking device 1000.

The support unit 110 may be fixed to the ground to support the water blocking device 1000. The support part 110 may include a first support part 111 and a second support part 112 for fixing the water-watering device to the ground.

The water stop plate 120 may be provided between the first support part 111 and the second support part 112. The water stop plate 120 may be rotatably coupled to the first support part 111 and the second support part 112.

For example, referring to the partially enlarged view of (a) of FIG. 3, the water stopper plate 120 may include a rotation axis 121 to be rotatably coupled to the support portion 110. Each of the first support part 111 and the second support part 112 may include a groove to which the rotation axis 121 is connected. Bearings may be coupled to grooves provided in each of the first support part 111 and the second support part 112. The rotation shaft 121 provided on the water stop plate 120 may be coupled to bearings provided in grooves of each of the first support portion 111 and the second support portion 112. Accordingly, the water stopper plate 120 can be rotated according to an external force. Hereinafter, conventional techniques can be used for the structure in which the water stopper plate 120 is rotatably coupled to the support portion 110, and a more detailed description will be omitted.

Meanwhile, the water stopper plate 120 may include a stopping protrusion 122. The locking protrusion 122 may limit the range in which the water stopper plate 120 rotates. When the water stopper plate 120 is rotated by an external force, the locking protrusion 122 may be caught on the first support portion 111. If the stopper 122 does not exist on the water stopper plate 120, the waterstop plate can be rotated 270 degrees counterclockwise based on (a) of FIG. 3. In this case, the water blocking plate 120 may not prevent flooding of water flowing into the building. Accordingly, the water stop plate 120 may include a stopping protrusion 122 to limit the range of rotation.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the water blocking plate 120 may include a first water blocking plate and a second water blocking plate. The second water stopper plate may be provided inside the first water stopper plate. The second water stopper plate may extend outside of the first waterstop plate under the control of the control unit 200. For example, the second stop plate may extend from the inside of the first stop plate to the outside of the first stop plate through a combination structure of a rack and pinion and a motor. In another example, the second stop plate may extend from the inside of the first stop plate to the outside of the first stop plate through a combination structure of a V-belt, a pulley, and a motor. As another example, the second water plate may extend from the inside of the first water plate to the outside of the first water plate through a combination structure of a plurality of gears and a motor. The structure for the second water stopper plate to extend from the inside of the first waterstop plate to the outside of the first waterstop plate is not limited to this, and various conventional technologies can be used.

The driving unit 130 (not shown) may be provided inside each of the first support part 111 and the second support part 112. The driving unit 130 is connected to the water stop plate 120 and can cause the water stop plate 120 to stand or fall over. Here, standing can be understood as meaning erecting the water stopper 120. Falling can be understood as a state in which the water stopper 120 is not upright. Falling over can also be understood as laying down the water stopper plate 120.

The driving unit 130 may be a hydraulic cylinder. One end of the driving unit 130 may be coupled to the support unit 110 and the other end may be coupled to the water stopper plate 120 . Specifically, the first driving unit may be provided inside the first support part 111, and one end may be coupled to the first support part 111 and the other end may be coupled to the water stop plate 120. The second driving unit may be provided inside the second support part 112, and one end may be coupled to the second support part 112 and the other end may be coupled to the water stop plate 120. The driving unit 130 operates under the control of the control unit 200 to make the water stop plate 120 stand up or fall over.

The driving unit 130 may further include a driving module that allows the second water absorbing plate to extend from the inside of the first water blocking plate to the outside of the first water blocking plate.

The control unit 200 may be composed of one or more cores, such as a central processing unit (CPU), general purpose graphics processing unit (GPGPU), and tensor processing unit (TPU). It may include a processor for data analysis.

The control unit 200 can process the operation of the driving unit 130. The control unit 200 can provide appropriate functions to the user by processing signals, data, information, etc. input or output through the sensing unit or communication unit 230, or by running an application program stored in a storage unit (not shown). .

The first sensing unit 210 can sense the water level around the water shutoff device 1000. The first sensing unit 210 may be provided outside the water shutoff device 1000 to sense the water level around the water shutoff device 1000. For example, the first sensing unit 210 may be provided above the water purification device 1000.

The second sensing unit 220 can sense whether an object exists above the water stopper plate 120 .

For example, in the present disclosure, the water blocking device 1000 may be installed at the entrance of a building or an entrance of an underground parking lot. Accordingly, people may be passing by or vehicles may be moving above the water blocking device 1000. If the vehicle is above the water barrier device 1000 and the water barrier plate 120 is upright, the vehicle may be damaged by the water barrier plate 120. To prevent this, the water shutoff device 1000 can sense whether an object exists above the water shutoff plate 120 through the second sensing unit 220.

The communication unit 230 may receive a driving message and rainfall data related to rainfall from an external server. The external server may include, for example, a Meteorological Administration server. The communication unit 230 may receive rainfall data or weather information related to rainfall from the Korea Meteorological Administration server. The driving message may include a first identifier and a plurality of conditional operation information elements. The first identifier may be information related to the area where the water blocking device is installed. Each of the plurality of conditional operation information elements may include an execution condition and an execution time corresponding to the execution condition. The running time may represent the expected time for the water stopper 120 to stand up or fall over. In other words, the execution time may be a time related to the time the rainfall starts or the time the rainfall ends. The execution condition may include expected rainfall data associated with the first identifier and an operation water level condition reflecting an offset determined based on the expected rainfall data.

Specifically, the control unit 200 may determine the area where the water blocking device is installed based on the first identifier. The control unit 200 may determine the expected rainfall amount in the area where the water blocking device is installed, based on the first identifier and rainfall data. The control unit 200 may determine an offset for controlling the operation of the water cutoff plate 120 based on the determined expected rainfall amount. The offset can also be understood as a weight for controlling the operating level of the water stopper 120. For example, if the expected rainfall in the area where the water shutoff device 1000 is installed is high, the water shutoff plate 120 may need to be erected in conjunction with the start of rainfall. For another example, when the expected rainfall in an area where the water stop device 1000 is installed is low, water overflow can be prevented even if the water stop plate 120 is erected relatively slowly compared to an area where the expected rainfall is high. In areas with high expected rainfall, water may rapidly flood the inside of the building, but in areas with low expected rainfall, it may take some time for water to fill the inside of the building. Alternatively, in areas with low expected rainfall, even if some water floods the inside of the building, all of the flooded water may be drained away by drainage facilities provided inside the building. Accordingly, the control unit 200 may determine the offset based on the expected rainfall amount associated with the first identifier. Additionally, the control unit 200 may determine the operation level condition by reflecting the determined offset.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the control unit 200 may determine an area where the water blocking device is installed based on the first identifier. When the area is determined, the control unit 200 may determine an offset for controlling the operation of the water stopper plate 120.

For example, the expected rainfall in the first region may be 100 mm. The expected rainfall in Region 2 may also be 100 mm. The altitude of the first region may be 30m. The altitude of the second zone may be 100m. The expected rainfall amounts for Region 1 and Region 2 are the same, but Region 1 may be located in a relatively low-lying area compared to Region 2. Accordingly, even if the same amount of rain falls, buildings located in the first area may be flooded, but buildings located in the second area may not be flooded. Accordingly, the control unit 200 may determine the offset based on the altitude of the area associated with the first identifier. In other words, the control unit 200 can determine the operating water level conditions so that the water shutoff device 1000 is located in a low-lying area so that the water shutoff plate 120 operates nimbly even if the expected rainfall is low.

Meanwhile, the control unit 200 performs at least one operation to control the driving unit 130 based on information collected through the first sensing unit 210, the second sensing unit 22, and the communication unit 230. can do.

Specifically, the control unit 200 may evaluate a plurality of conditional operation information elements using the water level sensed through the first sensing unit 210 or a driving message received through the communication unit 230. The control unit 200 may perform at least one operation to control the driving unit 130 according to the evaluation result.

At least one operation may include a first to third operation performed according to a result sensed through the sensing unit.

For example, when the water level sensed through the first sensing unit 210 is higher than a preset first threshold, the control unit 200 controls the operation of the driving unit 130 so that the water stopper plate 120 stands up. The action can be performed. When the water level sensed through the first sensing unit 210 is less than a preset first threshold, the control unit 200 may control the operation of the driving unit 130 so that the water stopper plate 120 does not stand up. When the control unit 200 determines that the water level sensed through the first sensing unit 210 is less than a preset first threshold and that the water stopper plate 120 is upright, the control unit 200 operates the drive unit ( 130) operations can be controlled.

As another example, when it is determined through the second sensing unit 220 that an object exists above the water stop plate 120, the control unit 200 controls the operation of the drive unit 130 so that the water stop plate 120 does not stand up. The second operation can be performed.

Meanwhile, the control unit 200 may determine that the water stopper 120 should be erected as the water level sensed through the first sensing unit 210 is higher than a preset first threshold. In conjunction with this, the control unit 200 may determine that an object exists above the water stop plate 120 through the second sensing unit 220. In this case, the control unit 200 may perform a third operation of transmitting a notification to a preset user terminal through the communication unit 230. In other words, the control unit 200 must control the operation of the driving unit 130 so that the water stopper 120 stands up, but if an object exists above the water stopper 120, a notification is sent urging the user to move the object. can be transmitted.

Meanwhile, at least one operation may include a fourth operation and a fifth operation performed according to the driving message.

For example, if the operation water level condition calculated according to the execution condition and the sensed water level are within a predetermined range, the control unit 200 may perform a fourth operation to determine whether to erect the water stopper 120.

As another example, the control unit 200 may perform the fifth operation of determining whether to raise the water stopper 120 based on the rainfall data received from the communication unit 230. For example, the communication unit 230 may receive rainfall data from the Korea Meteorological Administration server at preset time intervals. The control unit 200 may control the operation of the driving unit 130 so that the water stop plate 120 stands up when the expected rainfall amount is greater than or equal to a preset second threshold based on the rainfall data. Accordingly, the water blocking device 1000 can prevent water from flowing into the interior of the building.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the ordering device 1000 may further include a third sensing unit. The third sensing unit may be located in a lower area than the water blocking device 1000. For example, the body structure 100 may be installed at the entrance of an underground parking lot of a building. If an underground parking lot exists on the first basement floor, the second basement floor, and the third basement floor, the third sensing unit may be located on the third basement floor. In other words, the third sensing unit may be located in the lowest area of the building where the body structure 100 is installed. The communication unit 230 may receive sensing data measuring the water level of the third basement floor from the third sensing unit. When the water level sensed through the third sensing unit is higher than a preset third threshold, the control unit 200 may control the operation of the driving unit 130 so that the water stopper plate 120 is erected.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, when the water level sensed through the first sensing unit 210 is greater than or equal to a preset first threshold, the control unit 200 operates the driving unit 130 so that the water stop plate 120 stands up. Movement can be controlled. After the water shutoff plate 120 is erected, the control unit 200 may monitor the water level above the water shutoff device 1000 through the first sensing unit 210. When the water level sensed through the first sensing unit 210 is higher than a preset second threshold, the control unit 200 may control the driving module so that the second water stopper plate extends outside the first water stopper plate.

Below, an example in which the ordering device 1000 according to the present disclosure is actually driven will be described.

Referring to (a) of FIG. 5, in normal times when it is not raining or there is no heavy rain warning, the water stopper 120 may be upright. In other words, the water stopper plate 120 may be laid down to allow vehicles or people to pass through the upper part of the water stopper plate 120.

Referring to (b) of FIG. 5, the driving unit 130 is provided inside the first support part 111, and one end may be coupled to the first support part 111 and the other end may be coupled to the water stop plate 120. . The driving unit 130 may be operated under the control of the control unit 200.

Referring to (c) of FIG. 5 , the driving unit 130 may cause the water stop plate 120 to stand under the control of the control unit 200. Accordingly, the water stopper plate 120 can prevent water from flowing into the interior of the building.
