Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a pest bird extermination device, and more particularly to a pest bird extermination device that uses formation flight of multiple drones in outdoor spaces. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, damage caused by harmful birds at outdoor solar power plants and industrial facilities has become serious. Harmful birds drop stones and droppings on the surface of solar panels, which not only damages the panels and reduces their power generation efficiency, but also causes deterioration of the panels in the long term. Furthermore, there is a risk that the nesting activities of harmful birds will damage parts of the equipment of solar power plants and industrial facilities, and these effects are factors that increase the operating costs of solar power plants and industrial facilities.

[0003] Conventional methods for exterminating nuisance birds have involved the use of stationary extermination devices, such as floodlights, acoustic devices, and olfactory repelling devices. However, these methods have the problem that their effectiveness is only temporary, and once the nuisance birds become accustomed to them, their effectiveness drops significantly. Furthermore, in outdoor areas such as solar power plants and industrial facilities that cover a wide area, stationary extermination devices are unable to cover the entire area, and their effectiveness is limited. Therefore, the use of drones has been proposed as an effective method for exterminating nuisance birds (see Patent Document 1).

[0004] The method disclosed in Patent Document 1 is a method of using a drone to carry out work inside narrow spaces in a building, and involves having the drone carry out one or more of the following tasks (1) to (6). Note that narrow spaces refer to the space above the ceiling, the space under the floor, and the living space. (1) Work to investigate the internal conditions of narrow spaces (2) Detecting pest nests and / or pests in confined spaces (3) Detecting pest nests and / or pests in confined spaces (4) Removal of harmful birds and animals from narrow spaces (5) Releasing pesticides into the nests of harmful birds and animals in narrow spaces (6) Pest control treatment work involving the release of chemicals into pest nests and / or pests present in narrow spaces

[0005] However, the method disclosed in Patent Document 1 is targeted at the inside of narrow spaces in buildings and does not take into consideration the extermination of pest birds outdoors, so it is not an effective means for controlling pest birds outdoors.

[0016] (Overview of pest bird extermination devices) First, an overview of a pest bird extermination device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to Fig. 1. Fig. 1 is a diagram for explaining an overview of the pest bird extermination device. The entire pest bird control device 1 shown in FIG. 1 includes multiple drones 10, a control unit 30, and a controller 31. The multiple drones 10 may be controlled by a pilot O via a controller 31 operated by the pilot O, or may be controlled by a control unit 30. The control unit 30 may be a so-called computer installed on the ground, and may be configured to control multiple drones 10 based on preset flight routes for the multiple drones 10.

[0017] The control unit 30 is installed on the ground and is configured by a computer. The control unit 30 may also be mounted on one of the drones 10. In this case, the drone 10 on which the control unit 30 is mounted becomes a parent drone, and flies in a formation while giving commands to other drones 10 that become child drones.

[0018] A formation is a formation of multiple drones 10 outdoors, as shown in Figure 4, and refers to the shape of the arrangement of the multiple drones 10. The control unit 30 can control the flight path of the drone 10 and the operation of the extermination device, and the controller 31 can control the flight path of the drone 10 and the operation of the extermination device under the control of the pilot O. The control unit 30 adjusts the flight formation of the drones 10 based on the captured images to achieve effective and efficient pest bird control. The control unit 30 is a device for controlling the flight of the drone 10, and is installed on the ground. The control unit 30 may be mounted on one representative drone among multiple drones 10. In this case, the other drones 10 may be controlled from the control unit 30 mounted on the representative drone 10.

[0019] (About the composition of Drone 10) Next, an example of the configuration of the drone 10 will be described with reference to Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a diagram for explaining an example of the configuration of the drone 10. The drone 10 is also called a multirotor or quadrotor, and refers to a small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that flies autonomously through the air by remote control and programming. The drone 10 shown in FIG. 2 includes a drone main body 11, a camera 19, an extermination device, and the like. The extermination device is equipped with either a speaker 16, a light projector 17, or a chemical tank 18. The speaker 16, the light projector 17, and the chemical tank 18 are attached to the extermination device via an exchange suspension unit 15, and therefore can be removed from the extermination device.

[0020] The extermination device refers to a device for repelling pest birds B, specifically, the speaker 16 shown in Fig. 2(a), the floodlight 17 shown in Fig. 2(b), or the chemical tank 18 shown in Fig. 2(c). The speaker 16 generates a sound that pest birds B dislike, the floodlight 17 shines a strong light on pest birds B, and the chemical tank 18 generates an odor that pest birds B dislike. The sound that pest birds B dislike is a sound wave of a frequency that pest birds B dislike, and ultrasonic waves that cannot be heard by the human ear are preferable. Furthermore, the floodlight 17 may be an LED that emits a large amount of light, and is preferably one that is energy efficient, lightweight, and capable of emitting strong light.

[0021] The legs 13 and landing part 14 shown in FIG. 2 are necessary for the drone 10 to land safely and on the drone port 20. The camera 19 shown in FIG. 2(a) is a photographing device mounted on the drone 10, and is used to grasp the positions and numbers of pest birds B, flying objects, floating objects, etc.

[0022] The pest bird extermination device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure can efficiently exterminate pest birds B by using formation flight of multiple drones 10. As shown in Fig. 2, each drone 10 has a drone main body 11, and the drone main body 11 is provided with a speaker 16, a floodlight 17, or a chemical tank 18 so as to be removable via an exchange suspension unit 15, thereby enabling effective extermination.

[0023] The control unit 30 performs image analysis processing on the image captured by the camera 19, grasps the positional relationship between the drone 10 and the nuisance bird B, and can change to an optimal formation based on a command from the control unit 30. This allows the nuisance bird extermination device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure to maximize the extermination effect. In addition, the non-contact charger 21 can be charged while the drone 10 is working in the sky, so that the working time can be maximized.

[0024] The replacement suspension unit 15 is a part that allows any of the speaker 16, the light spotter 17, or the chemical tank 18 to be detached from the extermination device, thereby allowing the selection of a method that is effective against the type of pest bird B.

[0025] Each drone 10 is equipped with a rotor 12 for tracking and flying a pest bird B, and an extermination device for exterminating the pest bird B. The extermination device is equipped with any one of a speaker 16 having a sound source, a floodlight 17 having a light source, and a chemical tank 18 for diffusing an odor.

[0026] A pest bird extermination device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure uses multiple drones 10 and includes an extermination device mounted on each drone 10, a control unit 30 installed on the ground or on the drone 10, a drone port 20 that supplies power to the drones 10, and adjusts the flight formation of the drones 10 based on images captured by a camera 19, thereby achieving effective and efficient pest bird extermination.

[0027] The pest bird extermination device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure efficiently detects pest bird B using the camera 19 mounted on the drone 10 and AI technology. The drone 10 according to the present disclosure may periodically patrol an outdoor space and transmit the video captured by the camera 19 to the control unit 30 in real time. The pest bird extermination device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure detects the presence of pest bird B in the video by utilizing image analysis processing. When the control unit 30 detects pest bird B, it acquires information required for action, such as its location information (latitude, longitude, altitude), the type, number, and flight speed of pest bird B. The action-required information refers to information necessary for the drone 10 to take optimal extermination action against the pest bird B, and specifically refers to the location information (latitude, longitude, altitude) of the pest bird B detected by the control unit 30, the type, number, flight speed of the pest bird B, etc.

[0028] In the pest bird extermination device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the drone 10 has an internal communication unit 32, and utilizes a communication network between the drones 10 to share data in real time and to plan and execute an optimal extermination strategy. For example, if a drone 10 discovers a flock of pest birds B, the information is transmitted to the other drones 10, and by sharing the information, all drones 10 can respond quickly. In addition, the pest bird control device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is designed to facilitate regular maintenance. Each drone 10 is modularized, and major components such as the control device, camera 19, and battery can be easily replaced or upgraded. This allows the device to maintain long-term operation while incorporating the latest technology and functions.

[0029] (About the configuration of Drone Port 20) Next, an example of the configuration of the drone port 20 of the multiple drones 10 will be described with reference to Fig. 3. Fig. 3 illustrates a non-contact charger 21. As shown in Fig. 3, the drone port 20 is used as a base for takeoff and landing of the drone 10, and is installed on the ground 9. As shown in Fig. 3, the drone port 20 is provided with takeoff and landing space for three drones 10, but is not limited to three drones, and may be two or less, or four or more drones. The drone port 20 also has a wireless charger 21 that supplies power to the landed drone 10 wirelessly.

[0030] The non-contact charger 21 is a device that charges the drone 10 non-contact by electromagnetic induction, and is installed at the drone port 20 where the drone 10 takes off and lands. The non-contact charger 21 uses non-contact charging, which allows for highly efficient power transmission and allows the drone 10 to be charged more quickly, thereby improving work efficiency. In addition, the drone port 20 may be equipped with a power supply connected to a solar panel, in which case it is possible to share power with the drone 10 using power obtained through solar power generation.

[0031] (Regarding a formation of 10 drones) Next, the flight formation of multiple drones 10 will be described with reference to Fig. 4. Fig. 4 is a diagram for explaining the flight formation of multiple drones 10. Fig. 4(a) shows the flight formation of multiple drones 10 in normal times, and Fig. 4(b) shows the flight formation of multiple drones 10 when chasing away pest bird B. For example, a pest bird control device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure can rearrange the flight formation of multiple drones 10 into a linear formation, a circular formation, a V-formation, and other different formations depending on the situation, thereby efficiently and effectively driving away pest birds B. The control unit 30 adjusts the flight formation of the multiple drones 10 based on the captured image of the pest bird B, which is the subject of the camera 19. Specifically, the control unit 30 performs image analysis processing on the captured image of the pest bird B captured by the camera 19, recognizes the positional relationship between the drones 10 and the target object such as the pest bird B appearing in the captured image, and selects a flight formation of the multiple drones 10 suitable for chasing away the pest bird B from multiple patterns of flight formations of the drones 10 that are repelled by the pest bird B, which have been acquired and collected in advance, based on this positional relationship.

[0032] The multiple drones 10 may be divided into one parent drone 10 and the remaining multiple child drones 10, and the parent drone 10 may issue commands to the child drones 10 in real time using wireless communication, and the child drones 10 may follow and fly according to the commands of the parent drone 10. In this case, the parent drone 10 is equipped with a control unit 30.

[0033] The multiple drones 10 of the present invention move in formation based on the action required information to carry out efficient extermination activities. When a pest bird B is discovered, the action required information is acquired based on its location information (latitude, longitude, altitude), the type, number, flight speed, etc. of the pest bird B. The flight path and formation of the drones 10 are programmed based on the action required information, and the multiple drones 10 work together to form an optimal formation for efficiently tracking the pest bird B. For example, a V-formation, a fan-shaped formation, a horizontal formation, etc. are used.

[0034] (Regarding the method of exterminating pest bird B used by the pest bird extermination device) The pest bird extermination device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure appropriately selects and uses a method using the extermination device (speaker 16, floodlight 17, chemical tank 18) depending on the type, number, and location of the pest bird B. The method of exterminating the pest bird B used by the pest bird extermination device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is as follows. Method 1: When a large number of pest birds B form a flock, a loud sound is generated from the speaker 16 to scare away the flock of pest birds B. Alternatively, the flock of pest birds B may be scare away by generating ultrasonic waves at a frequency that the pest birds B dislike. Method 2: When flocks of nuisance birds B are concentrated in a specific location, a strong light is projected from a floodlight 17 onto the flock of nuisance birds B to scare them away. Method 3: If the pest bird B is a species that is affected by the repellent contained in the chemical tank 18, the repellent is sprayed from the chemical tank 18 toward the pest bird B to drive away the pest bird B. The repellent is a chemical that emits an odor that the pest bird B dislikes, and it is preferable that the main ingredient is natural ingredients. It should be noted that the method 1, the method 2, and the method 3 are not limited to being used individually, and two or three of these methods may be combined and implemented simultaneously. For example, the speaker 16 may generate ultrasonic waves at a frequency that pest bird B dislikes, and at the same time, the projector 17 may irradiate the pest bird B with strong light.

[0035] (About the process of exterminating pest bird B using the pest bird extermination device) The flow of exterminating pest bird B by the pest bird extermination device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is as follows. (1) Drones 10 follow the movement formation information and move in formation to their destination. (2) Activate the extermination device and drive away pest bird B. (3) After the eradication activity is completed, the drone 10 automatically lands (automatic return) at the original takeoff location, drone port 20, and is charged. In this way, the pest bird extermination device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure utilizes advanced technology to efficiently exterminate pest birds B, and can prevent damage caused by pest birds B over a wider area than a stationary type extermination device.

[0036] The movement formation information refers to information on the drones 10 moving in formation to efficiently exterminate the pest birds B. Based on this information, the drones 10 can move in an optimal formation and efficiently carry out extermination activities. The automatic return of the drone 10 is achieved by recognizing its own position by receiving signals from a GPS (Global Positioning System) during flight and flying toward the position coordinates of the drone port 20 from which the drone took off.

[0037] (For use with solar panel 40) Next, an example in which a plurality of drones 10 protect a solar cell panel 40 from pest birds B will be described with reference to Fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a diagram for explaining a case in which a pest bird extermination device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is used in an outdoor space. The pest bird control device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is a device specialized for pest bird extermination in outdoor spaces, and can use multiple drones 10, a control unit 30, and a controller 31 to execute the above-mentioned methods 1, 2, and 3 to drive away pest birds B that cause harm to solar panels 40. In addition, similar to the extermination of pest birds B using the solar cell panel 40 described above, pest bird extermination devices according to embodiments of the present disclosure can also be used to exterminate pest birds B, such as by scaring them away, in farms, fish farms, power plants, factories, airports, and public facilities.

[0038] (About night golf use) Next, the use of drones in night golf will be described with reference to Fig. 6 and Fig. 7. Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 are diagrams for explaining the case where a nuisance bird extermination device is used in outdoor sports at night.

[0039] 6 and 7, the nuisance bird extermination device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure utilizes a floodlight 17 mounted on a drone 10 to irradiate light onto the entire nighttime game 5, thereby making it possible to illuminate the ball 60. Furthermore, the nuisance bird extermination device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure tracks the ball 60 from the moment the player V hits the shot and irradiates the position of the ball 60 in real time, allowing the player V to easily check the position of the ball 60 even at night and allowing the game to proceed smoothly.

[0040] 7, the drone 10 has a function of photographing the player V and acquiring the player's movements. As a result, by using the nuisance bird control device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, for example, the form of a golf player can be analyzed and utilized for training.

[0041] Based on the acquired action necessary information, the control unit 30 creates a flight plan for the drones 10 to move in formation. The control unit 30 analyzes the acquired location information and environmental data (climate, temperature, humidity, air pressure, etc.) and determines the optimal movement method. The control unit 30 selects an extermination method according to the type of pest bird B. For example, if the type of pest bird B is effective for playing a specific sound or shining a light, the control unit 30 uses that format. The flight plan refers to the flight formation adopted by the multiple drones 10 and the flight route along which the multiple drones 10 fly in formation. Note that the flight plan may not only be created by the control unit 30, but may also be created in advance by the operator of the pest bird control device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure based on the action required information.

[0042] (Effect of pest bird control according to the embodiment) The pest bird extermination device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is capable of adjusting the extermination method according to the habits of the pest bird B, such as the type of pest bird B and its characteristic habits. For example, if a specific sound or a specific light irradiation pattern is effective against the pest bird B, the control unit 30 creates an extermination plan to play a specific sound or irradiate with a specific light pattern, using the speaker 16 or the floodlight 17 mounted on the drone 10, in accordance with these habits of the pest bird B. In addition, the pesticide tank 18 can be loaded with a pesticide containing natural ingredients that are harmless to the pest bird B but have the effect of repelling it. The extermination plan refers to a pattern of control and adjustment of the operation of the speaker 16, the spotlight 17, and the chemical tank 18 mounted on the drone 10 as an extermination device, and may be created by the control unit 30 based on the acquired action required information, or may be created by the operator of the pest bird extermination device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0043] The pest bird extermination device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is capable of selecting an extermination method according to the type of pest bird B, characteristic habits, and other habits of the pest bird B, and can provide an effective extermination method for a specific type of pest bird B. For example, if a specific type of pest bird B frequently appears in a specific area, the control unit 30 can analyze environmental data (climate, temperature, humidity, air pressure, etc.) of the area and predict the appearance pattern of the pest bird B, thereby making an effective extermination plan.

[0044] Specifically, one of the multiple drones 10 is equipped with an environmental sensor equipped with a thermometer, hygrometer, and barometer that acquires environmental data (climate, temperature, humidity, air pressure, etc.), and this environmental sensor is used to collect environmental data such as climate, temperature, humidity, and air pressure in real time during flight, and by analyzing this environmental data, the appearance pattern of pest bird B is predicted and an extermination plan is made. Based on this data analysis, the time period and conditions when pest bird B is most active can be identified, and extermination activities can be carried out intensively at that time, maximizing the effect.

[0045] Furthermore, the drone 10 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure has a function of monitoring and tracking the habits of the nuisance bird B in real time using the camera 19. This allows for a quick response even when a new nuisance bird B appears, for example, and invades an area where the nuisance bird B has already been exterminated. The drone 10 identifies the location of the nuisance bird B using the camera 19 and the received GPS signal, and transmits the captured image and location information of the camera 19 to the control unit 30. The control unit 30 creates a flight plan and extermination plan for the drone 10 based on the acquired captured image and location information of the camera 19, and can efficiently drive away the nuisance bird B by having multiple drones 10 work together.

[0046] Furthermore, the control unit 30 can use AI (artificial intelligence) technology to learn the flight patterns and habits of the pest bird B and automatically derive more effective extermination methods. This improves the extermination effect over time and makes it possible to prevent the reappearance of the pest bird B.

[0047] The pest bird extermination device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is not a stationary type and is not fixed to a specific outdoor location, so it can flexibly adapt to different regions and environments. Therefore, it can effectively suppress damage caused by pest birds B in various outdoor locations such as solar cell panels 40, farmland, industrial facilities, and urban parks. In addition, because multiple drones 10 work in coordination with each other, it is possible to efficiently cover a wide area for pest bird extermination. This is expected to produce a higher extermination effect than conventional stationary extermination devices.

[0048] The pest bird extermination device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is environmentally friendly and can exterminate pest birds B in a sustainable manner. For example, by using the speaker 16 and the floodlight 17, the burden on the environment can be reduced since no chemicals are used. Even if chemicals are used, safety is ensured by using naturally derived ingredients.

[0049] Furthermore, the drone 10 can be charged using renewable energy such as solar power, which contributes to reducing operation costs. In addition, the pest bird control device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure includes the drone port 20 equipped with the non-contact charger 21, so that the drone 10 can be efficiently supplied with power.

[0050] Specific examples of use of the pest bird extermination device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure include protection of agricultural crops, safety management of airports, and measures against pest birds B in urban areas. By using the pest bird extermination device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure in these fields, it is possible to prevent economic losses caused by pest birds B and maintain a safe and comfortable environment.

[0051] Furthermore, the pest bird extermination device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure aims to minimize the impact of pest bird B on the ecosystem. For example, the load on the ecosystem is reduced by adjusting the time and frequency of extermination activities and avoiding the breeding season and resting times of pest bird B. Also, sustainable extermination activities are realized by moving pest bird B from a specific location rather than completely eliminating it.

[0052] The drone 10 used in the pest bird extermination device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure can be applied to purposes other than pest bird extermination by taking advantage of its high mobility and multifunctionality. For example, as shown in Figures 6 and 7, it can be used on a golf course at night. For golf players at night, ensuring visibility of the ball 60 is a challenge, and the drone 10 of the present invention can be used as a means to solve this problem.

[0053] Specifically, it is possible to illuminate the ball 60 using a floodlight 17 mounted on a drone 10 as shown in the nighttime competition overall 5 in FIG. 6. The drone 10 tracks the ball 60 from the moment the player hits the shot and illuminates its position in real time. This allows the player to easily check the position of the ball 60 even at night, allowing the game to proceed smoothly.

[0054] Furthermore, the nuisance bird control device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure can track the movement of the ball 60 and automatically measure the distance and direction by utilizing the camera 19 of the drone 10 and AI technology in image analysis processing. This data is valuable information for evaluating the performance of the player and also contributes to improving the golf technique. The player can later check the data for each shot and use it to improve his / her technique.

[0055] In addition, the pest bird control device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure can support the entire golf course by having multiple drones 10 cooperate with each other by utilizing a communication network between the drones 10 via the communication unit 32. This improves the safety and comfort of nighttime golf over a wide area, and allows many players to enjoy the game at the same time.

[0056] The wireless charger 21 disposed in the drone port 20 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure can efficiently charge the battery, enabling continuous use. Therefore, by using the wireless charger 21, the drone 10 can be operated for long periods of time, even at night.

[0057] Furthermore, the drone 10 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure can be applied to other sports activities at night. For example, in a night soccer match, it is possible to track the ball 60 and the players V and provide lighting. Since a soccer field is wide, conventional fixed lighting alone may not be able to ensure sufficient visibility, but by utilizing the drone 10, lighting can be provided in a specific range to support the players' play.

[0058] Specifically, during a soccer match, the drone 10 can track the ball 60 and illuminate its position in real time. This allows the players to always know the position of the ball 60, improving the quality of their play. In addition, the camera 19 and AI technology mounted on the drone 10 can grasp the player's movements and position information in real time and provide the optimal lighting format. This reduces collisions between players and incorrect plays, realizing safe match management.

[0059] Furthermore, the use of the drone 10 also makes it possible to collect and analyze data from matches. The camera 19 mounted on the drone 10 records the movements of the players and the trajectory of the ball 60 in detail, and through image analysis processing using AI technology, it is possible to provide performance data on the players. This allows players to review their own play after the match and identify areas for improvement in training.

[0060] Drone 10 is also effective during the technical training phase of players. For example, when a coach is teaching a player a specific tactic or movement, Drone 10 can be used to film the movement from above and provide feedback to the player in real time. This allows the player to check their own movements and make corrections, efficiently improving their skills.

[0061] In other sports, such as night tennis and rugby, the drone 10 can be used to improve visibility and safety. In tennis, the drone 10 tracks the movement of the ball 60 and provides lighting, allowing the player to always know the position of the ball 60, and can recognize changes in body temperature and body movements using thermography and provide them to the player. In rugby, multiple drones 10 are used to cover a wide area, allowing the player's movements and the position of the ball 60 to be always brightly illuminated, and the player's movements and the position where the ball 60 falls can be accurately recognized and recorded in real time. This makes it possible to practice and play games safely and effectively even at night.

[0062] The use of Drone 10 also has great benefits for spectators. By utilizing the aerial footage provided by Drone 10, spectators can feel the excitement of the game more strongly. Especially at large-scale sporting events, the perspective provided by Drone 10 brings a new visual experience and increases the excitement of spectators.
