Description

Self-powered fountain system and self-powered fountain method The present invention relates to a self-generating fountain system and a self-generating fountain method, and more specifically, to a system and method for operating a fountain using electricity generated from solar power by installing solar panels on the fountain. Traditional fountains are located in urban areas and require power from a separate source to spray water from the lower level upwards. However, with the advancement of solar cell technology, devices that generate electricity using solar panels have begun to become more common. In addition, the existing solar-powered fountain charges a battery with electrical energy produced from solar panels and supplies power to a control unit to control pumps and nozzles, thereby forming a fountain. However, controlling the fountain device according to weather, season, or the presence or absence of the sun is carried out by the manager. In addition, when a fountain device is installed, water pipes and nozzles are placed on the ground floor above the space where the fountain device is installed, which causes problems in that the space above the fountain is difficult to utilize properly. Figure 1 is a drawing of the structure of a self-generating fountain system using the pump of the present invention. Figure 2 is a diagram of the structure of a self-generating fountain system using the motor of the present invention. Figure 3 is a top view of the self-generating fountain system of the present invention. Figure 4 is a diagram showing the operation of the lighting unit as an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 is a diagram showing the operation of the lighting unit and the nozzle unit as an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 6 is a drawing of a self-generating fountain system structure according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 7 is a flowchart of a self-generating fountain method using the system of the present invention. Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the attached drawings. FIG. 1 is a drawing of the structure of a self-generating fountain system using a pump of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a drawing of the structure of a self-generating fountain system using a motor of the present invention. First, a fountain refers to a device that creates a water basin in a garden, park, or public square and sprays water upward to evoke a sense of dynamic beauty and coolness, and it is common to use electricity to draw water up and spray it into the air. Referring to the drawing, the self-generating fountain system (1000) has a hole (1) on one side, a solar panel section (100) installed on the upper surface of the fountain, a nozzle section (200) arranged adjacent to the lower part of the hole (1) of the solar panel section (100), and a lighting section (300) installed along the edge of the solar panel section (100). The solar panel unit (100) is a device that converts solar light energy into electrical energy and mainly takes a flat-plate structure. Power generation mainly occurs during the daytime when the sun is shining and is heavily affected by the weather. In addition, it has the advantage of being environmentally friendly and capable of controlling the production of the required amount of electricity. The solar panel section (100) is configured with a hole (1) that can pass through or be adjacent to the nozzle section (200), and the size of the hole (1) may be larger than or equal to the size of the nozzle section (200). When water (2) is sprayed through the nozzle section (200), if the size of the hole (1) is larger than the nozzle section (200), the sprayed water can be drained downward through the gap of the hole (1). The lighting unit (300) is installed along the edge of the solar panel unit (100) on the outside of the fountain, and can be installed without gaps along the edge, or multiple lighting units (300) can be installed with spacing, or lighting units (300) can be installed only at the corners of the solar panel unit (100). It includes a power control unit (400) that stores and controls power produced from a solar panel unit (100). The power control unit (400) can compare real-time measured environmental information with preset environmental conditions and supply the stored power for the operation of the nozzle unit (200) and the lighting unit (300). To operate the nozzle unit (200), power is supplied to a pump (10) or a motor (20) to draw up water (2) to the nozzle unit (200). Additionally, to operate the lighting unit (300), power is supplied to an LED controller (not shown) to control the lighting unit (300), and if necessary, the power can be converted into AC or DC and supplied. The solar panel section (100) may have one or more holes (1) corresponding to the number of nozzle sections (200), and the nozzle sections (200) may pass through the created holes (1) or be positioned adjacent to the bottom of the holes
