The present invention relates to a flood detection alarm, and more specifically, to a flood detection alarm that can minimize human casualties and property damage caused by flooding by being installed in a location where flooding is expected, such as a low-lying area, a habitually flooded area, or a riverside, and by indicating externally with light and sound when the inflowing water reaches a dangerous level. To this end, the present invention comprises a main body formed in the shape of an enclosure having an internal receiving space, and having an inlet through which external water enters the receiving space and a drain for discharging the water from the receiving space to the outside. A buoyancy body provided in the receiving space of the main body and rising by water introduced through the inlet, and A primary sensor provided on the upper part of the main body and detecting the water level of water entering through the inlet, and A secondary detector provided above the primary detector, which generates and transmits a signal regarding a dangerous water level when water entering the receiving space reaches a certain water level or higher, and It is characterized by including an alarm means that receives a signal regarding the danger level from the above-mentioned primary or secondary detector and emits light and illumination to the outside.

Description

Flooding detection alarm The present invention relates to a flood detection alarm, and more specifically, to a flood detection alarm that can minimize human casualties and property damage caused by flooding by being installed in a location where flooding is expected, such as a low-lying area, a habitually flooded area, or a riverside, and by indicating to the outside with light and sound when the inflowing water reaches a dangerous level. Generally, residential areas, roads, factories, or underground parking lots located in low-lying areas of cities or rural regions are areas with a high probability of damage from flooding during the rainy season or heavy rainfall. For example, in the case of Seoul, the number of basement and semi-basement houses is estimated to reach about 300,000 households according to recent statistics, but these semi-basement houses have the problem of repeated damage every year caused by the rainy season or heavy rainfall. Therefore, areas expected to suffer damage from flooding require intensive management and supervision during the rainy season or heavy rainfall; however, while such supervision is easy during the day or when visibility is good, there are difficulties in easily checking water levels at night or when visibility is poor due to torrential rain. Meanwhile, flood alarms are installed to detect water levels in areas or facilities where damage from heavy rainfall is anticipated, in addition to areas where damage from flooding is expected. For example, Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0394969 (registered on August 31, 2005) relates to an automatic flood alarm device that prevents casualties and property damage by warning of the risk of flooding in advance when there is a risk of houses or buildings being flooded due to heavy rain or sewer backflow. However, the aforementioned conventional technology is limited to merely measuring a specific water level to provide an alarm, and thus has the problem of not being able to obtain information on water levels that change in real time. In addition, Korean registered patent No. 10-1146085 (registered on May 3, 2012) relates to a flood warning device that can prevent human and property damage by warning of the risk of flooding in advance when a house is flooded due to heavy rain at night, and can be easily installed outdoors by simplifying the structure and resolving the problem of power supply by generating and storing electricity through solar power. However, it merely provides a function of emitting an alarm sound when the water level exceeds a certain level, and even with a simplified configuration, there is a problem in that it is difficult to detect the water level if an internal malfunction occurs. FIG. 1 is an exemplary diagram illustrating a flood detection alarm according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is an exemplary diagram illustrating the operating state of a primary detector constituting the present invention. FIG. 3 is an exemplary diagram illustrating the operating state of a secondary detector constituting the present invention. Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the flood detection alarm according to the present invention will be examined in detail with reference to the attached drawings. First, the flood detection alarm (1) according to the present invention comprises a main body (10) formed in the shape of a housing having an internal receiving space (11), having an inlet (12) through which external water enters the receiving space (11), and a drain (13) for discharging water from the receiving space (11) to the outside, a buoyancy body (20) provided in the receiving space (11) of the main body (10) and rising by water entering through the inlet (12), a primary detector (30) provided on the upper part of the main body (10) and detecting the water level of water entering through the inlet (12), a secondary detector (40) provided on the upper part of the primary detector (30) and generating and transmitting a signal regarding the danger level when the water entering the receiving space (11) reaches a certain water level or higher, and a signal regarding the danger level from the primary detector (30) or the secondary detector (40). It includes an alarm means (50) that receives a signal and emits light and illumination to the outside. The above main body (10) is formed in the shape of a housing with an internal receiving space (11). Although it is depicted as a circular housing shape in the drawings, this is just one embodiment, and the shape and length of the cross-section can be changed depending on the environment in which it is installed. When water flows into the receiving space (11) provided inside the main body (10), the water level of the incoming water is detected through the first sensor (30) and second sensor (40) described later. To this end, the main body (10) is provided with an inlet (12) through which external water enters the receiving space (11) and a drain (13) through which the water
