Description

AUTOMATIC MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL SYSTEMS FOR THE USE OF WATER BOATS, INCLUDING AUTOMATED FLOATING COLORS AND METHODS Related thereto

The subject of the invention is an assembly for the automatic control and control of the use of moorings for watercraft, which includes automated floating buoys and the method thereof, or more precisely the fully automatic buoyancy with an automatic mooring mechanism for boats, boats and other watercraft, equipped for direct and fully automated operation within the berth management and control system, without the necessary presence of humans, with an associated active system for attaching it to the weight at the bottom.

According to the international patent classification, the invention is allegedly classified in B63B 22/00, G08G 3/00 and G07B 15/00, and additionally in B63B 22/02, B63B 22/24 and B63B 22/04.

A technical problem solved by the invention is such an assembly of automatic control and control over the use of moorings for watercraft, which will allow direct communication of the group of battles with the communication center, whereby the design of the buoy will allow simple and fully automated management of mooring effective control over them, which includes, among other things, an easy and controlled way of paying for the berth and transmitting data in this connection to the communication center, without the necessary presence of humans or people, while at the same time the construction of the buoy will be simple and compact, with the implementation of a small hollow container designed in accordance with the characteristic the mode of operation of the buoy and the entire berthing control and management system that this buoy enables.

Commonly known solutions include hollow plastic buoys that are tethered to a ballast with a rope or chain, most often concrete. The disadvantage is that unpaid and uncontrolled mooring of vessels is possible for chains to rust and the ropes to spruce up algae, so their lifespan is relatively short and their carrying capacity is questionable.

Vessels are usually tethered directly to a rope or to a fixed metal ring at the top of the buoy. On these known buoys, there is no indication of the load capacity of the rope, the chain and the weight of the ballast. Usually two people are involved in the mooring, the first will draw the buoy to the level of the hem, and the second draws a rope for mooring the vessel through the hoop. Boat mooring can only be done by one person if the weather conditions are favorable and with that person's great experience.

In such berths, it is also impossible to identify the owner or manager of the fights, which causes the doubt or rent or berth of the eligible person. Usually, the countries that administer the fight and lease them grant concessions, so a concession tax is the only possible way to collect taxes. In such cases, the ship's owners or users, as a rule, bind them to the buoys at their own risk, without any transient knowledge of the carrying capacity of the buoy.

For well-known buoys, picking up rent usually requires one person to monitor and charge for a certain number of fights in the relevant and manageable area, requiring a proper craft. In these cases, it is impossible or at least very difficult to book in advance, especially at a distance.

Out of season and during the night, there is usually no one to control and manage the fights and charge their rent, which means a loss of revenue.

It follows from the foregoing that the management of known buoys requires the constant physical presence of at least one person to carry out surveillance and assurance operations, and therefore mooring buoys are preferably located off inhabited shores, in remote places, such as seas and other islands, practically absent.

As nautical tourism is on the rise, the previously described shortcomings and weaknesses of conventional battlefield areas have become extremely dysfunctional and irrational, even disturbing. Also, anchoring outside their area is less safe for people and vessels in the face of increasing storms and other natural disasters.

The more modern known solution is known to us for the control and management of moorings in the sea area, from document EP 1 550 086 or WO 2004/032064. According to this document, the buoys have the possibility of a one-way communication with a local control station, which performs a reverse communication with the operations center. It is therefore communication between the three units in the system, between the battles and the local control station and between the latter and the operation center. The buoys consist of a hollow plastic housing housing an electronic antenna unit, a radio communication device with an antenna, and a solar panel with a battery that together form an autonomous electrical power unit for the buoy. At the bottom of the buoy is a chain hook, through which the buoy is attached to the weight at the bottom. The color is therefore designed to allow it to communicate with a control station based on the Wifi standard. The receiving and transmitting stations are formed by a transmitter / receiver and an antenna mounted on top of the buoy, ring-shaped. This station is programmed to communicate with the vessel using the user identification code stored in the Operations Center. The association between the station and the vessel allows, at the moment of landing of the vessel, to harmonize the set conditions and to exercise control over the authorized credit stored in the operational center. This means that a mooring berth of a vessel is only possible by having the vessel's manager visit the operational center before or after the berth and pay the specified credit amount or berth price. If he fails to do so, he is then alerted by an employee at the operations center whose continued presence is essential. If the vessel sailed early, before the paid berth time has elapsed, the operative center worker shall refund the difference to the vessel's user up to the full amount, or if the vessel sails later, the worker shall require an additional payment. The buoy housing is essentially diametrically opposed upright cylinders, the base surfaces of which contact and which, in lateral view, form a uniform hollow body shaped like a deltoid or upright rhombus. This well-known solution is therefore a control and command system for the landing of vessels and their berth, which operates in such a way that it communicates to the control center that the vessel has been moored. After the berth is completed, there are two options. The first is that the operative center worker goes to the vessel and charges for the berth, and the second is that the vessel user can do so by visiting the center worker. The essential disadvantage of this well-known solution is that despite all the devices in the system and because of the one-way communication between them, human control of the management of the battleships and the payment of the mooring of vessels is still required, at all times, practically 24 hours a day. Furthermore, its disadvantage is that the vessel's user can moor without having to pay the berth before or after, which further requires a permanent human presence to control it. The disadvantage of this system is that at least one or more intermediate local control centers is required for communication between combatants and the operations center, which makes the implementation of this system difficult, complicated and expensive.

The problem that has remained unsolved is, in particular, the demanding implementation of a system or device for monitoring and managing the mooring of vessels, which requires additional intermediate local control centers for communication between the combatants and the operational center, as well as the permanent physical presence of the person at the berth payments and control. furthermore, the shape of the buoy and its method of attachment to the bottom weight, on the one hand, allow unauthorized and therefore unpaid berths, but do not allow effective control of unpaid berths and conditions for mooring.

According to the invention, the problem is solved by an assembly for the automatic control and control of the use of moorings for watercraft, which includes automated floating buoys and a method in this connection that will allow direct two-way communication with the communication center and which, due to its construction and shape, prevent the mooring of the vessel without prior or subsequent payment of the berth, which can be made remotely, without the necessary presence of a person inside the center, and will also automate control and combat operations in one or more water areas.

The invention will be described more specifically in the embodiment and in the drawings illustrating FIG. 1 is a schematic view of the operation of an automatic berth management and control system within an automated floating buoy area. 2 attaching a buoy to the ballast at the bottom of FIG. 3 automated buoy in longitudinal vertical section

An automatic control and monitoring system for mooring for watercraft, which includes automated floating buoys and the related method according to the invention, consists essentially of a central operational control center 3 with a server 4, preferably located on land 6 and any the number of automated fights 1 located within the associated water area 7. The operational control center 3 is connected to the server 4 by a communication line 41, which is accessible to potential users via an Internet connection 40. 1.

Operational control center 3 communicates wirelessly and fully with automated buoys 1, communicating in the same way with server 4 and through it and Internet connection 40 with users 5. All of the described communications are in both directions, and it is important that The communication link between Booms 1 and the Operational Control Center 3 is via broadband data transmission, ie by means of mobile GSM telephony and / or SMS, which enables the implementation of Boat 1 according to the invention.

The operator of vessel 2 entering the water area 7 first seeks a free berth 1. Thereafter he must pay the berth in advance, which is a condition for the berth of vessel 2 to be selected for buoy 1. No berth for buoy 1 is possible without prior payment, except temporarily, in the case of payment with money, tokens or cards, which will be described below.

There are two options for vessel mooring 2 to pay for mooring. The first with tokens, coins or cards directly on buoy 1, indicated by line b and the second by SMS or call from the GSM apparatus via the operational control center 3, indicated by line a in fig. 1. The price list of the berth is accessible to the operator of vessel 2 or visible on each buoy 1. The amount paid depends on the planned or planned time of berthing of vessel 2, which the operator determines himself. Specifically, the payment methods and procedures for berthing on Boat 1 according to the invention will be described below.

With the payment method via GSM phone payment is made through the selected domestic or foreign mobile telephony operator. For this purpose, each buoy 1 is identified by a code, for example * 19 * 090800 #, where number 19 represents the number of the selected buoy 1 and number 090800 the number of the call center or operator. When the operator of vessel 2 sends a text or call to the operator's call center, the funds, in a certain amount and currency, are transferred from the caller's account to the account of the owner or manager of the water area 7 with buoy 1. Po • a

Confirmation of the transaction to the selected account, control center 3 sends line 1 to the buoy 1 to lock the berth of vessel 2. Empirically, the time from the command to the lock is 5 to 25 seconds.

When, on line a or line b, the payment is successfully completed, the operating control center 3 sends to the selected bout 1 line d a signal or a lock command. A suitable mechanism on or in buoy 1, which is not shown in the figures, closes or closes the ring of the ear 10 with a rope and a secure mooring of vessel 2 is ensured. Unless the payment has been or has not been successfully completed, the Operational Control Center 3 buoys 1 does not issue an order for the conclusion of the aforementioned ring on the ear 10. In this case, mooring of vessel 2 is not possible as the mooring rope from buoy 1 automatically drops out, or it cannot even be inserted into her ear 10.

Colors 1 are communicatively connected via GSM signal to the operational control center 3. Each buoy 1 informs the control center 3 operatively by providing information on occupancy, on the status of electrical voltage, on the payment made on buoy 1, on the amount of collected money, tokens or cards within the buoy, on its possible line. defects and the like. On the other hand, the Operations Control Center 3 sends, via line d, 1 information or messages about a possible reservation, an activation code and issues a command to either lock or unlock.

Information about the status of combat 1 within a designated water area 7, at any location in the world, is accessible to potential users 5 electronically, via Internet connection 40 via server 4 on the site of battle manager 1 in the selected water area 7. Forward to server 4 information center 3 via communication line 41. Operationally control center 3, as previously described, also provides certain information to buoys 1. In this way, potential users 5 can obtain information on occupancy and occupancy of berths or buoy 1 at the observed location and price. mooring. Following this route, they can also • book free booth 1 at the selected location for a predefined term by paying it electronically in advance.

As shown in FIG. 2, the buoy 1 according to the invention is preferably a cylindrical shape with a tip 42, a downward-facing cone. In another embodiment, the boom body 1 may also be of different functionally suitable shapes, such as a truncated cone shape, also with a tip 42 at the lower end. The tip 42 is fitted with blades 43.

In the upper face, buoy 1 has a cash, tokens or card payment mechanism 45, an alphanumeric keypad 44 for code entry, and control LEDs 14 and 15. In another embodiment, the mechanism 45 may also be located in another location, for example, on the side wall of housing 23, the rule being that it is located above the water level. It is not necessary to carry out the aforementioned components of buoy 1 when it operates exclusively through the GSM mobile telephony network.

Entering an identification code with the keypad 44 is necessary in the case of activation of buoy 1 previously reserved by the user 5 via the Internet connection 40 and the server 4, ie when the operation and payment method of the mooring do not proceed through the GSM network. The mechanism 45 is preferably implemented in terms of a lid that watertightly covers the opening 48 over which it is mounted, as shown in FIG. 3. Displays 11 and 12 are located on the outer wall of the roller portion of Boat 1. Display 11 is intended to show Boat 1's safety chart based on the ratio of vessel weight data 2 to wind speed. In this way, it informs the operator of vessel 2 of the load capacity of the weight 8 itself and thus of the buoy 1, the weight of the vessel 2 and the wind power. At the same time, the instruction 11 for operating the boom 1 and, if necessary, any other instruction are also shown on the display 11. Display 11 also has the role of providing guidance on the Boat Handling Procedure 1, including the modalities and procedures for berth payment and the operation of the entire system. Display 12 shows the duration of the berth and / or the time until the paid berth expires. So it performs the function • ·

timer until the berth expires. At or below the boom 1, under its apex and through the opening 37, a movable mooring ear 10 for mooring a vessel 2 is preferably provided, but not shown. In this embodiment, the ear 10 moves in a straight line through the opening 37 from the inside of the housing 23 of the buoy 1 outwards and vice versa. This allows him the aforementioned arbitrary execution mechanism. As shown in FIG. 3 is, in the embodiment described, the ear 10 of the discontinuous ring having a gap 35.

If buoy 1 is free, in the first embodiment, the ear 10 is located inside the housing 23, or in the second embodiment, the ring of the ear 10 is closed, closed. When the mooring is paid, Operational Control Center 3 informs the selected buoy 1 and instructs it to unlock, after which the ear 10 moves outwards in the first, or its ring opens in the second case specified. During this time, the operator of vessel 2 inserts a mooring rope into the ear 10 in the first and through a gap 35 in its ring in the second case. After some time, in the first case, the corresponding mechanism pulls the ear 10 inside the housing 23, or re-locks the ring of the ear 10 in the second case. This keeps Boat 1 closed or locked and the berth secure. When the paid mooring time expires and does not extend, the mechanism 10 pushes the ear 10 outwards or opens its ring, after which the rope from the ear 10 drops out and the vessel 2 is released and the mooring is interrupted.

As described above, in the first embodiment, a special mechanism pulls the ear 10 in and pushes out of the housing 23 of the buoy 1, which makes the ear 10 linear or otherwise movable. In the second embodiment described, however, the ear 10 is mounted fixedly on the outer wall of the housing 23 of the buoy 1. In this embodiment, the ear 10 may be formed as a one-piece or two-piece ring or ring that can be opened and closed, contracted and opened. The appropriate mooring mechanism, after payment, mooring the ring, after inserting the rope of vessel 2 into the ear 10, closes and reopens it after the time of paid mooring has elapsed. The ring of the ear 10 is therefore open until the mooring is paid and consequently mooring of vessel 2 to buoy 1 is not possible. This is not the case with payment by tokens, money or card, since in this case the ear 10 is closed when the vessel 2 arrives. This way the berth can be made, followed by payment. If • ·

user 5 does not pay for the berth within the specified time, for example, within 10 minutes, the ear 10 opens and the mooring line of vessel 2 drops out and the berth is broken. The ear 10 closes again after a period of time, after which buoy 1 is ready to be moored again by the same or another vessel 2.

For the first embodiment described previously described, the ear 10 is constructed as a continuous ring or ring, or as a movable ring or ring, capable of opening and closing, or as a ring interrupted by a gap 35 at any location.

For the second embodiment described above, in which the ear 10 is made externally or on the outer wall of the hollow housing 23, however, the ear 10 is said to be a movable embodiment, which allows it to be closed and opened.

Regardless of the embodiment of the first or second embodiment described, however, it is said that the ear 2 may be implemented in a different manner within the boom assembly 1, using a mechanism appropriate to the embodiment.

Color 1 is attached to the weight 8 at the bottom by an intermediate voltage sensor 9 with cable rope 13. On boom 1, the clamping point at the tip 42 of tip 22 of boom 1, whose thickness is preferably equal to the diameter of cable rope 13. This allows, in the case of tampering or unpaid mooring of vessel 2, its mooring rope slides towards the top and then down from buoy 1. Cable rope 13 is made as an electric cable 39, which is surrounded by a knit steel rope along the entire circumference. In other words, inside the steel rope 38 is located a suitable electrical cable 39 to transmit the tensile signal from the voltage sensor 9 to buoy 1. The braided rope 38 provides protection for the intermediate electric cable 39 while providing the necessary tensile strength to buoy 1 required for secure mooring.

The voltage sensor 9 therefore acts as a momentary or tensile switch, which, in the event of unpaid mooring of vessel 2 to buoy 1, provides the latter with unauthorized mooring information and switches on the alarm signal 19.

• · · ·

The blades 43 on the tip 42 of buoy 1 serve to damage and cut the rope in the event of an unauthorized or unpaid berth, which would simply be thrown overboard by Boat 2 operator in order to avoid payment. They can be arbitrary designs. At least one blade 43 or at least one intermediate space between adjacent blades 43, a UN anode 50 is implemented in the sense of a galvanic link, which protects a submerged part of buoy 1 from corrosion in water.

The dimensions of buoy 1 of the present invention may be arbitrary, with useful empirical data that may or may not be taken into account in practice. It follows that the optimum length or height of buoy 1 is about 250 cm, with about half being viewed from the water so that its top with the ear 10 is located somewhere near the deck height of vessel 2, which greatly simplifies its handling. It also follows from experience that the optimum diameter of a buoy is about 30 cm. Preferably, the outer wall of the boom 1 is smooth and its hollow housing is made of stainless steel, but may also be of another suitable material. In another embodiment, buoy 1 may also be implemented differently and from any other metal and / or non-metallic material suitable for its purpose.

As in FIG. 3 shown, forms a hollow housing 23 with a tip 42 at the lower end, as previously stated. The housing 23 is designed as a watertight, sealed container of the shape of a regular or irregular cylinder, onto and into which the constituent elements of the boom 1 are mounted or integrated.

A central computer 18 is inserted inside the housing 23, which is connected to the power supply 17 with the conductor 26 and at least one solar panel 16 via it, and the power supply 17 to the conductor 25 is connected to the plus pole of the battery 21 with the conductor 24 to at least one solar plate 16. Further, the central computer 18 with the conductor 30 is connected to the communication module 20, which then goes through the conductor 31 with the minus pole of the battery 21 and through the conductor 32 with the external antenna 36. Next is the central • ·

the computer 18 is connected to the ear 29 by means of the ear 10 or its mooring mechanism, and via the conductor 28 with at least two displays 11 and 12, and via the conductor 49 is connected to the printer 47 for printing invoices and to the conductor 27 by the alarm 19, with conductors 33 and 34 are directly connected to the battery 21. The non-displayed digital timer is integrated into the display 12, or may be located or independently positioned in another location of the housing 23 of the buoy 1.

Inside the enclosure 23 there is also a container 46 for tokens and coins that can be accessed through the opening 48, which is made into the front wall of the enclosure 23 and which is watertightly covered by the mechanism 45, in cases of payment of mooring directly on the buoy

1. Along with mechanism 45, preferably, the alphanumeric keypad 44 for code entry and control and signal LEDs 14 and 15, for example, the first green and the second red, are located at the same location. When on LED 1, the LED 14 or green light is on, it means that it is free and berths are available at an advanced payment. If the LED 15 or red light is on, it means that mooring on this buoy 1 is not possible as it is either reserved, busy or malfunctioning.

Solar panels 16 are solar photo cells for electricity production designed to function vital components and assemblies inside and outside the housing 23 of the buoy 1. The solar panels 16 supply electricity to the power supply 17, which feeds the battery 21 and through it all the elements inside the housing 23 of the buoy 1. At the same time, the battery 21 also serves as a storehouse of electricity for a time when it is not possible to produce it via solar panels 16 for any reason. In another embodiment, the power supply of the constituent elements of the boom 1 may also be provided in a different manner appropriate to its function, which does not affect the essence of the claimed invention.

The methods and procedures for the payment of berths on buoys 1 according to the invention have been mentioned previously, but will be described in more detail below.

When paying with a GSM device, vessel 2 approaches Boat 1, on which the LED 14 or green light is on, which means that it is free. The operator of vessel 2, which is also a user 5, reads out a telephone number for payment via a GSM device on booth 1 and types it into the apparatus and presses the call key or sends an SMS message. Operational Control Center 3 detects the number of the GSM phone user and debits his account for a fixed amount equal to the berth price for a fixed time or for a fixed period. The Operations Control Center 3 then sends a signal with the command to lock. The unobserved mechanism puts the ear 10 in a position where the operator of the vessel 2 or user 5 can push the rope into and through it. In this way, vessel 2 is securely moored to the selected buoy 1, so LED 15 illuminates on it, hence the red light. The display 12 shows the user 5 or the operator of the vessel 2 the exact duration of the paid berth. Before this time, the alarm 19 with an audible signal warns the user 5 that the paid mooring time will expire and that, after this time, the ear 10 will be put into the open position or unlocked, causing the mooring rope to fall out of it. and thus release vessel 2. In the absence of additional charge for user 5 within this extension of the berth, the berth shall be released in the described manner and vessel 2 may sail freely, while the observed buoy 1 is thus ready for a new berth of another vessel 2, it is signaled by its LED 14 green.

In case buoy 1 is pre-booked via Internet connection 40, the payment procedure for mooring with a GSM device is that the user 5 selects buoy 1 within a certain water area 7 via the Internet or Internet connection 40, determines the arrival time and the estimated departure time and makes the payment mooring at the price list. Subsequently, user 5 receives a special number for his GSM via the return route from the competent operational control center 3 via server 4. When user 5 approaches the reserved buoy 1 at scheduled time with vessel 2, LED 15 or red light illuminates on it. The operator of vessel 2 and user 5, respectively, typed the special number which he received at the time of booking, and then pressed the call key. Operational control center 3 detects the number of the user 5 who made the reservation and sends a signal 1 to close the ear 10 for mooring. By means of said mechanism, the ear 10 is positioned or moved in a position which allows the user 5 to moor to the buoy 1, after which a secure mooring of the vessel 2 to the selected buoy 1 is ensured. During this time on LED 1, LED 15 is red. Display 12 shows to the user 5 or to the operator of the vessel 2 the exact duration of the paid berth. Before the end of the mooring period, an alarm 19 with an audible signal warns the user 5 that after a while the mooring will expire, after which the ear 10 will unlock and open and the mooring rope will fall out. If user 5 does not charge extra within the specified berth extension time, berth 2 is interrupted and the vessel 2 is released and the observed buoy 1 is ready for the next berth, signaled by its LED 14 or green light.

When paying by bank or magnetic card, token or cash, vessel 2 must also come close to buoy 1, on which the LED 14 or green light is on, indicating that it is free. The operator of vessel 2 or user 5 binds vessel 2 to buoy 1 by inserting the rope into and through the ear 10, which is in the closed position, thus locked. In this case, the voltage sensor 9 on the weight 8 detects the berth of the vessel 2 and the display 12 shows the amount to be paid for the berth. In another embodiment, the voltage sensor 9 may also be mounted at the tip 42 of buoy 1. The user 5 pays the amount shown on display 12 by inserting a bank or magnetic card, or throws a token or money into a mechanism 45 which falls through the opening 48 into the collection container 46 Color 1 completes the payment for the berth and detects the duration of the berth or the time until the paid berth expires in the display 12. If the communication system so permits, buoy 1 may notify the operational control center 3 of the payment made to the berth. Subsequently, the unobserved mechanism closes and locks the ear 10 and the operator of vessel 2 can push a rope through it. This is done by pulling the ear 10 into the housing 23 after the first embodiment, or by closing the ear ring 10 after the second embodiment.

During Boat berth 1, LED 15 or red lights up. The display 12 shows the user 5 or the operator of the vessel 2 the exact duration of the paid berth. Before this time, the alarm 19 with an audible signal warns the user 5 that after a certain time the ear 10 will be unlocked and opened, after which the mooring rope with which the mooring vessel 2 will fall out of it. If user 5 does not pay extra time for mooring within this time, mooring is terminated and the vessel 2 is released and the observed buoy 1 is thus free or ready for a new mooring, which is signaled by its LED 14 or green light. For example 1, which also allows the payment of coins of any currency, the procedure is similar to the payment with tokens. The tokens and coins are collected in the container 46 and can be removed manually or by means of a suitable suction device.

For all the above mentioned and described payment methods for berth on Boat 1 via GSM cameras, the ear 10 is left open or unlocked if payment is not made or if the paid berth has expired and therefore mooring of vessel 2 to Boat 1 is not possible. For all other payment methods, however, the ear 10 will be unlocked and opened if the berth for Boho 1 is not paid. It will also be considered that Boho 1 is equipped with a printer 47 only if it is designed to pay for mooring with money. Otherwise, printer 47 is not required. However, in the case of payment with the card via GSM, printing of the invoice is not necessary, since the invoice for berthing on Booth 1 is displayed in the monthly invoice of the user 5 or subscriber of the GSM device.

For maintenance and servicing purposes, mooring 1 of the boom 1 to the weight 8 is made so that it is preferably possible at the tip 22 or at the voltage sensor 9.
