Description
Aviation lights, aviation lighting systems and aviation lighting methods for vertical takeoff and landing
[0001] The present invention relates to aviation lighting, an aviation lighting system and an aviation lighting method, and more particularly, to aviation lighting dedicated to vertical takeoff and landing for inducing safe takeoff and landing of a vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, an aviation lighting system and an aviation lighting method.
[0002] Aviation lighting consists of light, color, and arrangement. It adjusts its intensity appropriately based on ambient brightness, visibility, and cloud cover, providing pilots with the visual information necessary for takeoff and landing maneuvers. In particular, during the final landing phase, pilots must visually guide landing maneuvers, and the role of the aviation lighting system is crucial for safe landings.
[0003] Approach angle indicators, a type of aviation lighting system, visually inform pilots of the appropriate approach angle when landing. They are a key feature installed at airports worldwide. While many other navigational safety devices are installed for landing, approach angle indicators offer pilots a sense of security and convenience, particularly at night and in low visibility, by allowing them to directly check the approach angle and land.
[0004] For approach angle indicators to function properly, their elevation angle must be set correctly. Runways where approach angle indicators are installed are prone to various disturbances, such as ground subsidence and storms, that can alter the elevation angle of the indicator. Therefore, it's important to regularly check that the elevation angle is set to the appropriate value.
[0005] An example of an approach angle indicator light conventionally installed for aircraft takeoff and landing is disclosed in Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1519572 (hereinafter referred to as “prior document”).
[0006] According to prior literature, approach angle indicators are installed on the ground near the runway and provide a visual indication to the pilot of an aircraft approaching the runway for landing by using the color of light to determine whether the aircraft is approaching at an angle appropriate for a safe and smooth landing.
[0007] The elevation angle of the approach angle indicator must be checked regularly because landing may be difficult if the elevation angle of the approach angle indicator is not within the appropriate range.
[0008] The approach angle indicator of the prior art comprises a body with a built-in lamp and multiple legs supporting the body. Each leg is height-adjustable. Therefore, in the case of the approach angle indicator of the prior art, the elevation angle can be adjusted by adjusting the height of the legs.
[0009] In the case of an approach angle indicator according to prior literature having a configuration as described above, it is useful for aircraft that require a runway of sufficient length for takeoff and landing, but it is difficult to apply it for takeoff and landing of a vertical takeoff and landing aircraft.
[0010] The present invention has been devised to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, and its purpose is to provide a vertical takeoff and landing dedicated aviation lighting, an aviation lighting system, and an aviation lighting method that can induce safe takeoff and landing of a vertical takeoff and landing aircraft.
[0011] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention for achieving the above-mentioned purpose, a vertical take-off and landing dedicated aircraft light comprises a light case buried in the ground and having an upper surface exposed toward the air, a light emitting assembly provided in the interior of the light case with an angle adjustable therein to generate light and then shine it into the air through the upper surface of the light case, and an elevation control means provided in the light case and the light emitting assembly to adjust the angle of the light emitting assembly, thereby guiding the take-off and landing of a vertical take-off and landing aircraft.
[0012] The light emitting assembly may include a light housing that is open at the top, an LED module provided within the light housing, a filter provided above the LED module within the light housing, and a lens provided above the filter within the light housing. In this case, the LED module includes a white light LED, and the filter converts the white light into red light and green light.
[0013] The light emitting assembly may be configured to include a light housing that is open at the top, an LED module that is provided within the light housing and includes a green light LED and a red light LED, and a lens that is provided above the LED module within the light housing.
[0014] The vertical take-off and landing dedicated aircraft light according to the present invention may further include a first light plate provided on the open upper part of the light case, and a second light plate provided on the open upper part of the light case.
[0015] The shape of the lighthouse casing when viewed from above may be circular or rectangular.
[0016] The vertical takeoff and landing dedicated aircraft light according to the present invention may further include an elevation measuring means provided within the light housing to measure the elevation angle of the light emitting unit assembly. In this case, the elevation measuring means may be an acceleration sensor or a gyro sensor.
[0017] The elevation control means may include a forward / reverse driving motor.
[0018] On both sides of the light emitting assembly, rod-shaped supports are provided at opposing positions for rotatably supporting the light emitting assembly inside the light housing, one end of the support is fixed to the side of the light emitting assembly, and the other end of the support is rotatably mounted to the side of the light housing.
[0019] The elevation adjustment means includes a positive / negative driving motor fixed inside the light housing, a first bevel gear axially coupled to a drive shaft of the positive / negative driving motor, and a second bevel gear axially coupled to one of the supports and meshed with the first bevel gear.
[0020] A vertical takeoff and landing dedicated aviation lighting system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention for achieving the above-described purpose includes a control unit for controlling the operation of vertical takeoff and landing dedicated aviation lighting and an elevation angle adjustment means.
[0021] The vertical takeoff and landing dedicated aviation lighting system according to the present invention may further include a takeoff and landing aircraft confirmation unit that confirms a vertical takeoff and landing aircraft and transmits the information to a control unit, and a takeoff and landing aircraft information provision unit that receives information confirmed by the takeoff and landing aircraft confirmation unit from the control unit and transmits information about the confirmed takeoff and landing aircraft to the control unit.
[0022] The vertical take-off and landing dedicated aviation lighting system according to the present invention may further include a hand hole formed around the vertical take-off and landing dedicated aviation lighting underground and used as a work space during installation and maintenance of the aviation lighting.
[0023] A vertical takeoff and landing dedicated aviation lighting method according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is configured to guide takeoff and landing of a vertical takeoff and landing aircraft using a lighting case buried in the ground and a light emitting assembly provided in the light case in a way that the angle can be adjusted, and includes a step of identifying a vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, a step of providing related information of the identified vertical takeoff and landing aircraft to a control unit, a step of calculating a target elevation angle of the light emitting assembly in the control unit using the information of the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, and a step of adjusting the elevation angle of the light emitting assembly under the control of the control unit.
[0024] In the elevation adjustment step of the light emitting assembly, the elevation of the light emitting assembly is measured in real time using an elevation measurement means, and the elevation adjustment is precisely controlled.
[0025] In the elevation adjustment step of the light emitting assembly, the angle at which the light emitting assembly is vertical is set to the reference angle of 0 degrees, and the light emitting assembly tilts left and right based on the reference angle.
[0026] According to the aviation lighting, aviation lighting system, and aviation lighting method dedicated to vertical takeoff and landing of the present invention, the aviation lighting is configured to allow elevation adjustment while buried underground, thereby inducing safe takeoff and landing of vertical takeoff and landing aircraft. In particular, the elevation adjustment is precisely and automatically controlled based on information (aircraft type, etc.) of the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft scheduled for vertical takeoff and landing, thereby enhancing safety during takeoff and landing.
[0027] In addition, since the elevation angle of the aviation lights can be adjusted to facilitate the pilot's control and the controller's control, it is possible to induce safe takeoff and landing of vertical takeoff and landing aircraft.

[0036] Hereinafter, with reference to the attached drawings, a detailed description will be given of vertical takeoff and landing dedicated aircraft lights, an aircraft light system, and an aircraft light method according to preferred embodiments of the present invention. Generally, the elevation angle refers to the angle of an aircraft light with respect to the horizon, but in the embodiments of the present invention, the elevation angle is defined as the angle of a vertical takeoff and landing dedicated aircraft light with respect to an imaginary vertical line.
[0037]
[0038] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram showing an aircraft lighting system dedicated to vertical takeoff and landing buried underground according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
[0039] A vertical take-off and landing dedicated aviation lighting system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention guides a vertical take-off and landing aircraft to safely take off and land, and includes a vertical take-off and landing dedicated aviation lighting (100, hereinafter referred to as 'aviation lighting'), a hand hole (200), and an isolation transformer (300).
[0040] An aviation light (100) includes a light housing (110) and a light emitting assembly (120).
[0041] The light housing (110) is a body that is vertically buried in the ground and is open at the top, and forms a space in which a light emitting assembly (120) can be installed inside. A first light-emitting plate (111) is provided at the top of the light housing (110) to transmit light emitted from the light emitting assembly (120) to the ground and prevent foreign substances from entering the interior of the light housing (110). The planar shape of the light housing (110) when viewed from above is circular or rectangular, but is not limited thereto and may be formed in various shapes.
[0042] The light emitting assembly (120) is rotatably installed inside the light housing (110) and emits light toward the ground. Its flat shape may be formed in a circular or rectangular shape, similar to the light housing (110). The elevation angle of the light emitting assembly (120) may be adjusted manually by a worker, but may also be automatically adjusted by an elevation angle adjustment means, which will be described later.
[0043] A handhole (200) is a space formed around an aviation light (100) in the ground and can be used as a work space when installing and maintaining the aviation light (100).
[0044] An insulating transformer (300) is installed in the handhole (200) to isolate the aviation lights (100) from the power grid, thereby enabling stable operation of the aviation lights (100).
[0045] According to the vertical takeoff and landing dedicated aviation lighting system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention configured as described above, light generated from the light emitting assembly (120) is irradiated into the air through the first light plate (111) provided on the upper part of the lighting case (110), thereby inducing safe takeoff and landing of a vertical takeoff and landing aircraft.
[0046]
[0047] Figure 2 is a control flowchart of an aircraft lighting system dedicated to vertical takeoff and landing according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
[0048] The vertical takeoff and landing dedicated aviation lighting system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention can ensure sufficient safety during takeoff and landing by automatically controlling the elevation angle of the aviation lighting (100), that is, the angle of the light emitting assembly (120) constituting the aviation lighting (100), according to the type of vertical takeoff and landing aircraft to be taken off and landed. To this end, the aviation lighting (100) may further include an elevation angle measuring means (130) and an elevation angle adjusting means (140). In addition, the vertical takeoff and landing dedicated aviation lighting system may further include a takeoff and landing aircraft confirmation unit (400), a takeoff and landing aircraft information providing unit (500), and a control unit (600).
[0049] An elevation measuring means (130) is provided in the light housing (110) to precisely measure the elevation of the light emitting assembly (120) in real time and transmit the measurement information to the control unit (600) in real time. An acceleration sensor or a gyro sensor can be used as the elevation measuring means (130).
[0050] The elevation control means (140) is provided in the light housing (110) and the light emitting assembly (120) to precisely control the elevation of the light emitting assembly (120) in real time, thereby automatically setting and maintaining the optimal lighting angle (elevation angle) suitable for the information of the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft. For example, the target elevation angle of the light emitting assembly (120) can be calculated through the type and size of the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, and the elevation adjustment point and maintenance time of the light emitting assembly (120) can be determined through the expected takeoff and landing time of the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft.
[0051] The elevation control means (140) may be configured to include a motor capable of driving in both directions.
[0052] The takeoff and landing aircraft confirmation unit (400) confirms a vertical takeoff and landing aircraft that is taking off and landing or waiting for takeoff and landing, and then transmits the information to the control unit (600). Confirmation of the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (flight number, etc.) can be made through communication between the pilot and the control tower. Confirmation of the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft can also be made through direct communication between the pilot and the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft confirmation unit (400) without going through the control tower. When the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft is confirmed, confirmation information of the takeoff and landing aircraft (flight number, etc.) is input into the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft confirmation unit (400), and the information is transmitted to the control unit (600).
[0053] The takeoff and landing aircraft information provision unit (500) receives information confirmed by the takeoff and landing aircraft confirmation unit (400) from the control unit (600) and transmits various information about the confirmed takeoff and landing aircraft (e.g., type and size of aircraft, expected takeoff and landing time, etc.) to the control unit (600).
[0054] The control unit (600) can set an elevation angle optimized for a vertical takeoff and landing aircraft by exchanging information through the takeoff and landing aircraft confirmation unit (400) and the takeoff and landing aircraft information provision unit (500). In other words, it can set a lighting angle that allows the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft to take off and land stably. Once the optimal target elevation angle is set in the control unit (600), the elevation angle of the light emitting unit assembly (120) can be adjusted and maintained through the elevation angle measuring means (130) and the elevation angle adjusting means (140).
[0055]
[0056] FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing one embodiment of the light emitting assembly illustrated in FIG. 1.
[0057] The light emitting assembly (120) constituting the aviation light (100) is rotatably installed inside the light housing (110) as described above, and the elevation angle is precisely adjusted by the elevation angle adjustment means (140). The light generated from the light emitting assembly (120) passes through the first projection panel (111) on the upper part of the light housing (110) and is then irradiated onto the air path along which the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft takes off and lands, thereby guiding the takeoff and landing of the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft.
[0058] The light emitting assembly (120) may be configured to include a light housing (121), an LED module (122), a filter (123), a lens (124), a second light emitting panel (125), and a support (126).
[0059] The light box (121) is a box with a space formed inside, and the sides and bottom are closed and the top is open. The planar shape of the light box (121) when viewed from above may be circular or rectangular, but is not limited thereto and may be formed in various shapes like the light box (110). The LED module (122) is arranged on the inner lower part of the light box (121) and may include a white light LED and a lens. The LED module (122) is arranged so that the light generated is directed toward the open top of the light box (121).
[0060] The filter (123) is placed above the LED module (122) inside the light housing (121) and separates the light emitted from the LED module (122) into red light and green light.
[0061] The lens (124) is placed above the filter (123) inside the light housing (121) and collects light passing through the filter (123).
[0062] The second floodlight (125) is provided on the open top of the light box (121) to transmit light emitted from the LED module (122) to the ground and prevent foreign substances from entering the light box (121).
[0063] The support member (126) is formed in a rod shape to rotatably support the light inner case (121) with respect to the light outer case (110), and is provided on both sides of the light inner case (121) so as to face each other. One end of each support member (126) is fixed to the light inner case (121) by brazing or the like, and the other end is rotatably mounted on the side of the light outer case (110).
[0064]
[0065] FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing another embodiment of the light emitting assembly illustrated in FIG. 1.
[0066] The light-emitting assembly (120') constituting the aviation light (100) may be configured to include a light housing (121), an LED module (122'), a lens (124), a second light-emitting panel (125), and a support (126). Here, the light housing (121), the lens (124), the second light-emitting panel (125), and the support (126) are the same as those in Fig. 3, and therefore, their descriptions will be omitted. Hereinafter, only the LED module (122') will be described.
[0067] In this embodiment, the LED module (122') may be configured to include a red LED, a green LED, and a lens. In this case, the red LED and the green LED are separated by a separator so that the light does not mix with each other. In this embodiment, there is no need for a filter to convert white light into red light and green light.
[0068]
[0069] Figure 5 is a drawing showing the angle adjustment of the light emitting assembly constituting the vertical takeoff and landing dedicated aircraft light.
[0070] The light radiated into the air from the light emitting assembly (120) constituting the aviation light (100) is radiated in a state in which green light and red light are divided. Since the takeoff and landing of a vertical takeoff and landing aircraft is performed vertically, the light emitting assembly (120) can be set to a reference angle (0 degrees) in a vertical position and can be tilted left and right by the elevation angle adjustment means (140).
[0071] The elevation angle of the light emitting assembly (120) can be controlled to change within an angle range of 15 degrees to the left or right with respect to the reference angle. The elevation angle of the light emitting assembly (120) is not limited to the above-mentioned angle range and can be changed according to relevant regulations.
[0072]
[0073] Fig. 6 is a drawing showing one embodiment of the elevation adjustment means illustrated in Fig. 2.
[0074] The elevation adjustment means (140) constituting the aviation light (100) precisely adjusts the elevation angle of the light emitting assembly (120) in real time, and may be configured to include a motor (141), a first bevel gear (142), and a second bevel gear (143).
[0075] The motor (141) is driven in a positive direction and has the function of constantly changing the angle or maintaining the position and stopping, and a step motor or the like can be used.
[0076] The first bevel gear (142) is axially coupled to the drive shaft of the motor (141), and the second bevel gear (143) is axially coupled to one of the support members (126). The drive shaft of the motor (141) and the support member (126) are arranged in a direction perpendicular to each other, and the two bevel gears (142) (143) mesh with each other.
[0077] The drive shaft may include a first drive shaft connected to the motor (141), and a second drive shaft connected to the first drive shaft via a coupling. A first bevel gear (142) may be axially coupled to the second drive shaft. The drive shaft may be inserted and fixed within a fixed bracket (not shown) and may be rotatably supported by a bearing. The fixed bracket may be provided on the inside of the light housing (110).
[0078] The motor (141) is fixed to the inside of the light housing (110), and the support member (126) is rotatably mounted in place on the side of the light housing (110) while being fixed to the light housing (121) as described above. Therefore, when the motor (141) is driven in one direction, the rotational force is transmitted to the support member (126) through the first and second bevel gears (142) (143), so that the light housing (121) rotates in one direction and tilts. When the motor (141) is driven in another direction, the light housing (121) rotates in the other direction and tilts.
[0079]
[0080] Fig. 7 is a drawing showing another embodiment of the elevation adjustment means illustrated in Fig. 2.
[0081] The elevation adjustment means (140') constituting the aviation light (100) precisely adjusts the elevation angle of the light emitting assembly (120) in real time, and may be configured to include a motor (141), a cam member (144), a guide member (145), and a link member (146). In addition, the support members (126) constituting the light emitting assembly (120) are rotatably mounted on the side of the light outer case (110) while being fixed to the outer surface of the light inner case (121) as described above.
[0082] The motor (141) is driven in a positive direction and has the function of constantly changing the angle or maintaining the position and stopping, and a step motor or the like can be used.
[0083] The cam member (144) is axially coupled to the drive shaft of the motor (141), and one end of the link member (146) is rotatably coupled at a position spaced apart from the joint portion that is axially coupled to the drive shaft. Therefore, when the motor (141) is driven forward and backward, one end of the link member (146) rotates forward and backward about the drive shaft.
[0084] The guide member (145) is horizontally mounted on the outer surface of the light housing (121) constituting the light emitting assembly (120), and provides a sliding path along which one end of the link member (146) can slide left and right. To this end, a sliding groove (not shown) may be formed on the front of the guide member (145) into which a roller (not shown), which will be described later and is provided on the other end of the link member (146), is slidably inserted.
[0085] The link member (146) connects the cam member (144) and the guide member (145). One end of the link member (146) is rotatably connected to the cam member (144) as described above, and a roller provided at the other end of the link member (146) is slidably inserted into a sliding groove formed in the guide member (145).
[0086] According to the elevation adjustment means (140') configured in this manner, when the motor (141) is driven, one end of the link member (146) rotates around the driving shaft, and the other end of the link member (146) slides left and right along the guide member (145). At this time, the guide member (145) is fixed to the outer surface of the light housing (121), and the motor (141) is fixed to the inner side of the light housing (110). Therefore, when the other end of the link member (146) slides along the guide member (145), the light housing (121) can tilt left and right.
[0087]
[0088] Figure 8 is a process diagram according to a vertical takeoff and landing dedicated aircraft lighting method according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0090]
[0091] Vertical takeoff and landing aircraft verification stage (S10)
[0092] In this step, the flight number, etc. of the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft preparing for takeoff or landing is confirmed. This is done through communication between the pilot and the control center, and through communication, the control center confirms the flight number, etc. of the takeoff and landing aircraft and inputs this into the takeoff and landing aircraft confirmation unit (400). The information input into the takeoff and landing aircraft confirmation unit (400) is transmitted to the control unit (600).
[0093]
[0094] Vertical takeoff and landing aircraft information provision stage (S20)
[0095] When a vertical take-off and landing aircraft preparing for take-off and landing is confirmed in the vertical take-off and landing aircraft confirmation step (S10), the take-off and landing aircraft information providing unit (500) transmits the type (type and size of aircraft) of the vertical take-off and landing aircraft preparing for take-off and landing, and operation information (take-off and landing time, take-off and landing direction, etc.) to the control unit (600). For reference, with respect to the take-off and landing direction of the vertical take-off and landing aircraft, information related to the strength or direction of the wind acting on the vertical take-off and landing aircraft during the take-off and landing process can be additionally received.
[0096]
[0097] Elevation calculation step of the light emitting assembly (S30)
[0098] When various information about an aircraft scheduled for vertical takeoff and landing is transmitted to the control unit (600), the control unit (600) calculates the target elevation angle of the light emitting assembly (120) so as to guide the safe takeoff and landing of the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft.
[0099]
[0100] Elevation adjustment step of the light emitting assembly (S40)
[0101] When the optimal elevation angle of the light emitting assembly (120) is calculated by the control unit (600), the elevation adjustment means (140) operates to automatically adjust the elevation angle of the light emitting assembly (120). During the operation of the elevation adjustment means (140), the elevation measurement means (130) measures the elevation angle of the light emitting assembly (120) in real time and transmits the result to the control unit (600), and based on the measurement result of the elevation measurement means (130), the control unit (600) controls the elevation adjustment means (140) to precisely adjust the elevation angle of the light emitting assembly (120).
