Description

{SYSTEM FOR MONITORING INFORMATION CONCERNING QUANTITY OF CARBON OF GARBAGE CAN ACCOMMODATING CARBON PER DAY}

The present invention relates to a system for monitoring carbon amount-related information of a daily carbon trash can, and more particularly, to a system for monitoring carbon amount-related information of a daily carbon trash can, which aims at carbon neutrality of household waste from a daily carbon trash can in which a carbon amount indicating carbon emissions or a carbon amount indicating carbon reduction is displayed.

The information contained in this background section has been prepared to enhance understanding of the background of the invention and may include matters that are not prior art already known to those skilled in the art.

In order to achieve the global goal of carbon neutrality by 2050, there is a lack of citizen participation in reducing carbon emissions from household waste, which is closely related to our daily lives, and there are no proper alternatives for government policies or related local governments to increase the separation and recycling rates of waste plastic.

However, as the level of national awareness has improved and citizens' demands for a healthy living environment have increased, the need for pre-separation and collection stages that require citizen participation to increase the recycling rate of waste beyond simple incineration and landfilling has become an important issue.

Currently, the amount of waste plastic mixed in volume-based waste bags and brought to incinerators among domestic household waste is approximately 20-30%, accounting for 70% of carbon emissions generated from incinerators.

Accordingly, it is realistically difficult to achieve the goal of reducing carbon emissions from waste incineration if waste plastics brought into incinerators are not separated before being disposed of in volume-based waste bags.

In order to reduce the amount of waste plastic brought into incinerators, the active participation of citizens is important because the amount of waste plastic brought in is generally determined by the awareness of citizens who are the emitters about separate disposal. In particular, in the case of apartment complexes, the awareness and system for separate disposal of recyclables are better established than in single-family houses, so the amount of waste plastic brought into incinerators is relatively less.

In addition, although various policies are being implemented according to government policies and various realistic conditions, the carbon emissions generated when waste plastics from ordinary citizens are brought to incinerators and incinerated are not being identified. The reality is that most citizens throw away waste plastics in volume-based bags even though they are recyclable waste plastics, which reduces the effectiveness of government policies.

Because of this, waste plastic brought into incinerators causes various problems such as reduced incineration volume, lowered incinerator operation rate, damage to combustion chamber refractories, and corrosion of boiler tubes due to waste plastic with high calorific value (over 8,000 kcal/kg). Therefore, normal operation of incinerators is impossible because the calorific value is higher than the existing incinerator design standard (3,000 kcal/kg) and the properties of the waste change in various ways due to the introduction of waste plastic with high calorific value.

When looking at the specific details of the increase in carbon emissions when waste plastic is brought into an incinerator, the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) calculates the expected carbon emissions by applying the carbon emission factor for each type of waste when incinerating 1 kg of waste, and then imposes a quota.

Among waste types, waste plastics, food waste, wood, and paper waste have the highest estimated carbon emission coefficient. This is because waste plastics have a large molecular weight and high calorific value due to being made of petrochemical products, so they emit a lot of carbon dioxide when incinerated.

In general, it is not realistically easy to know the amount of carbon emitted when each piece of waste is thrown away in a volume-based waste bag at home, which is the source of household waste, and is brought to an incinerator and incinerated. This is because the types of waste are diverse and the weight of each piece of waste cannot be measured, so it is realistically difficult to estimate the expected carbon emissions by volume-based waste bag capacity.

In addition, due to the lack of expertise of government officials and local government officials, who are the national waste-related policy-making and execution agencies, regarding the expected carbon emissions and expected reductions of combustible waste among household waste, various problems are occurring in the actual policy implementation process. Accordingly, citizens, who are waste generators, are also indifferent to government policies for achieving carbon neutrality and are not aware of the impact of waste plastic on carbon emissions in real life.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to calculate carbon emissions according to the volume-based system capacity by applying the carbon emission projection factor of the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to each type of combustible waste before the household waste is disposed of in a volume-based system bag.

The Ministry of Environment automatically measures the amount of waste in volume-based waste bags and trash cans by capacity using the expected carbon emission coefficients of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) for the national waste composition announced by the Ministry of Environment, measures the expected carbon emissions and expected carbon reductions in real time, and allows citizens who generate waste and government officials who implement government policies to share the impact of waste plastic on carbon emissions. An integrated operation management and carbon monitoring system for the entire process of smart household waste treatment is needed to ultimately reduce carbon emissions by increasing the recycling rate of waste plastic.

FIG. 2 is a second schematic diagram for explaining a carbon amount-related information monitoring system of a daily carbon waste bag according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to Fig. 1, it illustrates calculating carbon emissions by scanning a barcode (10b) of a volume-based garbage bag (10) showing carbon emissions (10a) according to capacity (20 liters) with an RFID reader (20).

Referring to Fig. 2, it illustrates calculating the carbon reduction amount by scanning the barcode of a recyclable waste bag (11) indicating the carbon reduction amount (11a) according to the capacity (20 liters) with an RFID reader (20).

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the carbon amount related information monitoring system of a daily carbon waste bag may include a barcode (barcode, 10b, 11b), an RFID reader (20), and a monitoring server (30).

The barcode (11b) is attached to a part of a daily carbon waste bag and has information related to the carbon amount and carbon emitter according to the capacity type of the daily carbon waste bag.

The daily carbon waste bag may be a volume-based waste bag (10) or a recyclable waste bag (11). The volume-based waste bag (10) may display a first carbon amount indicating carbon emissions, and the recyclable waste bag (11) may display a second carbon amount indicating carbon reduction. The recyclable waste bag (11) may display a piggy bank (11c) indicating carbon reduction.

The amount of primary carbon or secondary carbon can be measured by applying a carbon dioxide emission factor depending on the capacity type.

In this regard, based on the capacity (20 liters) of the volume-based garbage bag (10), the carbon dioxide emission factor for each type of waste announced by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is applied to the volume of waste contained in various types of volume-based garbage bags (10) of various capacities, and the carbon emissions are calculated, and the calculated value is expressed as daily carbon emissions (5.2 kg).

Likewise, based on the capacity (20 liters) of the recyclable waste bag (11), the carbon dioxide emission factor for each type of waste announced by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is applied to the volume of waste contained in recyclable waste bags (11) of various capacities for each type to calculate the carbon reduction amount, and the calculated value is expressed as daily carbon reduction (1.3 kg).

Here, the setting period may be 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, etc., but is not limited thereto. The setting area may be Seoul Metropolitan City, Gyeonggi-do, Busan Metropolitan City, etc., but is not limited thereto. In addition, when there are multiple setting areas, the monitoring server may display the first carbon amount or the second carbon amount during the setting period for multiple setting areas as a graph on one screen.

FIG. 3 is a first schematic diagram for explaining a carbon amount-related information monitoring system of a daily carbon trash can according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a second schematic diagram for explaining a carbon amount-related information monitoring system of a daily carbon trash can according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, it illustrates calculating carbon emissions by scanning an RFID tag (100b) of a volume-based trash can (100) indicating carbon emissions (100a) according to capacity (20 liters) with an RFID reader (not shown).

Referring to FIG. 4, it illustrates calculating the carbon reduction amount by scanning an RFID tag (110b) of a recycling bin (110) indicating a carbon reduction amount (110a) according to capacity (20 liters) with an RFID reader (not shown).

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the carbon amount related information monitoring system of a daily carbon trash can may include an RFID tag (100b), a trash volume conversion unit (100c), and a monitoring server (300).

An RFID tag (100b) is attached to a portion of a plurality of daily carbon trash cans and measures the volume (100d) of trash inside the daily carbon trash cans in real time.

The daily carbon trash can may be a volume-based trash can (100) or a recycling trash can (110). The volume-based trash can (100) may display a first carbon amount indicating carbon emissions, and the recycling trash can (110) may display a second carbon amount indicating carbon reduction. The recycling trash can (110) may display a piggy bank (110e) indicating carbon reduction.

The amount of primary carbon or secondary carbon can be measured by applying a carbon dioxide emission factor depending on the capacity type.

In this regard, based on the capacity (20 liters) of the volume-based trash can (100), the carbon dioxide emission factor for each type of waste announced by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is applied to the volume of waste contained in volume-based trash cans of various capacities by type to calculate carbon emissions, and the calculated value is expressed as daily carbon emissions (5.2 kg).

Similarly, based on the capacity (20 liters) of the recycling bin (110), the carbon dioxide emission factor for each type of waste announced by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is applied to the volume of waste contained in recycling bins (110) of various capacities for each type to calculate the carbon reduction amount, and the calculated value is expressed as daily carbon reduction (1.3 kg).

The waste volume conversion unit (100c) is attached to another part of the daily carbon trash can, and converts the volume of waste (100d, 110d) measured by the RFID tag (100b) into carbon-related information and displays it on the screen.

The monitoring server (300) receives and stores carbon-related information from the waste volume conversion unit (100c), extracts carbon-related information through user input, and displays it on the screen.

The monitoring server (300) displays the first carbon amount, the second carbon amount, and the difference between the first carbon amount and the second carbon amount as real-time carbon amounts on the screen of a display device (not shown) installed at a specific location.

Here, if the first carbon amount is greater than the second carbon amount, the real-time carbon amount is carbon emissions, and if the first carbon amount is less than the second carbon amount, the real-time carbon amount is carbon reduction. In other words, if the carbon emissions are greater than the carbon reduction, the real-time carbon amount is carbon emissions, and if the carbon emissions are less than the carbon reduction, the real-time carbon amount is carbon reduction.

The monitoring server (300) can calculate the first carbon amount or the second carbon amount within a set area for a set period of time based on user input and display it on the screen. The first carbon amount or the second carbon amount can be the carbon amount relative to the population.

Here, the setting period may be 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, etc., but is not limited thereto. The setting area may be Seoul Metropolitan City, Gyeonggi-do, Busan Metropolitan City, etc., but is not limited thereto. In addition, when there are multiple setting areas, the monitoring server (300) can calculate the first carbon amount or the second carbon amount for multiple setting areas and display them as a graph on one screen.

FIG. 5 is a first schematic diagram for explaining a carbon amount-related information monitoring system of a daily carbon trash can according to a second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is a second schematic diagram for explaining a carbon amount-related information monitoring system of a daily carbon trash can according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, a large-capacity volume-based waste bin (120) is illustrated for collecting volume-based waste bags generated from single-family homes and multi-family homes and sending them to an incinerator, and FIG. 6 illustrates a large-capacity recycling bin (130) for collecting recyclable waste bags generated from single-family homes and multi-family homes and sending them to an incinerator.

When a large-capacity (1000 liter) volume-based trash can (120) is full of volume-based trash bags (120e), 260 kg of carbon emissions (120a) are calculated. An RFID tag (120b) is installed on the top of a large-capacity volume-based trash can (120) to measure the volume of trash (120d) inside the large-capacity volume-based trash can (120), and the volume of trash converted into carbon emissions at the top volume-based trash can (120c) and displayed on the screen of a monitoring server (300).

Referring to Fig. 6, when a large-capacity (1000 L) recycling bin (130) is filled with recyclable waste (130e) such as waste paper, scrap iron, and waste synthetic resin (PET, PP, PE, PS), a carbon reduction amount (130a) of 65 kg is calculated. An RFID tag (130b) is installed on the top of a large-capacity recycling bin to measure the volume of waste (130d) inside the large-capacity recycling bin (130), and the waste volume conversion unit (130c) at the top converts it into a carbon reduction amount and displays it on the screen of a monitoring server (300).

Since the carbon reduction amount is the amount of carbon reduction, it can be recognized as a piggy bank symbol for waste generators, thereby encouraging citizens to actively participate.

As described above, in one embodiment of the present invention, in order to induce a reduction in carbon emissions from waste dischargers, a method is proposed in which the amount of waste discharged per day by waste dischargers is divided into combustible waste and recyclable waste, and the carbon emissions and carbon reduction amount are calculated and displayed on a monitoring server (300).

FIG. 7 is a first schematic diagram for explaining a carbon amount-related information monitoring system of a daily carbon trash can according to a third embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 8 is a second schematic diagram for explaining a carbon amount-related information monitoring system of a daily carbon trash can according to a third embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to Figure 7, a method of automatically displaying carbon emissions (143) and carbon reduction (144) using a daily carbon waste bin (145, 146) at the entrance to a government office (140) is illustrated.

A daily carbon trash can (145) that automatically displays carbon emissions (143) and a daily carbon trash can (146) that automatically displays carbon reduction (144) are each provided and installed to carbon emitters in a government office (140). The daily carbon trash can (146) that displays carbon reduction (144) may also be called a "carbon piggy bank."

Referring to Fig. 8, a method of automatically displaying carbon emissions (153) and carbon reduction (154) using a daily carbon trash can (155, 156) at the entrance of an apartment complex (150) is illustrated.

In an apartment complex (150), the carbon emissions (153) and the carbon reduction (154) are automatically added up in a daily carbon trash can (155) where the carbon emissions (153) are automatically displayed and in a daily carbon trash can (156) where the carbon reduction (154) is automatically displayed, and the added value is automatically displayed. The automatically displayed values of the carbon emissions (153) and the carbon reduction (154) in the apartment complex (150) are displayed on the screen of the monitoring server (300).

Since the apparent specific gravity of recyclable waste is very light, 0.01 to 0.05, there is a need to frequently empty the waste accumulating in a large-capacity daily carbon waste bin (146, 156). For this reason, one embodiment of the present invention proposes a system in which an unmanned collection vehicle collects recyclable waste by blocking apartments and single-family houses by utilizing a function of automatically measuring the volume of waste by installing an RFID tag on the top of a large-capacity daily carbon waste bin.

FIG. 9 is a first schematic diagram for explaining a carbon amount-related information monitoring system of a daily carbon trash can according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 10 is a second schematic diagram for explaining a carbon amount-related information monitoring system of a daily carbon trash can according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIGS. 3, 4, 9 and 10, the carbon amount related information monitoring system of a daily carbon trash can may include an RFID tag (100b), a trash volume conversion unit (100c), a monitoring server (300), an RFID reader (161a), a collection decision unit (161b), an optimal collection route setting unit (161c) and a collection operation unit (161d).

As described above, the fourth embodiment, compared to the first embodiment, commonly includes an RFID tag (100b), a waste volume conversion unit (100c), and a monitoring server (300), and further includes an RFID reader (161a), a collection determination unit (161b), an optimal collection route setting unit (161c), and a collection operation unit (161d).

Therefore, specific descriptions regarding the RFID tag (100b), the waste volume conversion unit (100c), and the monitoring server (300) related to the first embodiment will refer to the first embodiment.

An RFID tag (100b) is attached to a portion of a plurality of daily carbon trash cans and measures the volume (100d) of trash inside the daily carbon trash cans in real time.

The waste volume conversion unit (100c) is attached to another part of the daily carbon trash can, and converts the volume of waste (100d) measured by the RFID tag (100b) into carbon-related information and displays it on the screen.

The monitoring server (300) receives and stores carbon-related information from the waste volume conversion unit (100c), extracts carbon-related information through user input, and displays it on the screen.

An RFID reader (161a) is installed in an unmanned collection vehicle (161) and scans an RFID tag (100b).

The collection judgment unit (161b) is installed in an unmanned collection vehicle (161), receives information on the volume (100d) of trash from an RFID reader (161a), and determines whether the volume (100d) of trash is greater than a set standard.

The optimal collection route setting unit (161c) is installed in an unmanned collection vehicle (161) and sets an optimal collection route of the unmanned collection vehicle (161) for at least one daily carbon waste bin among multiple daily carbon waste bins having a volume of waste (100d) greater than the first setting standard.

The collection operation unit (161d) is installed in an unmanned collection vehicle (161) and operates the unmanned collection vehicle (161) according to the optimal collection route.

Fig. 10 illustrates the information flow between the RFID reader (161a), the collection determination unit (161b), the optimal collection route setting unit (161c), and the collection operation unit (161d) installed in the unmanned collection vehicle (161) described above. The collection determination unit (161b), the optimal collection route setting unit (161c), and the collection operation unit (161d) can be implemented by a vehicle control computer installed in the unmanned collection vehicle (161), and the vehicle control computer has an algorithm for unmanned collection built into it.

In this way, the fourth embodiment is a system in which information on the volume (100d) of waste scanned and received by an RFID reader (161a) installed in an unmanned collection vehicle (161) from an RFID tag (100b) installed in a large-capacity (1,000 liter) daily carbon waste bin (162) for combustible waste or a large-capacity daily carbon waste bin (163) for recyclable waste is determined to have reached a set standard by dividing a certain section of an apartment complex or a single-family home into blocks (160) and then performing real-time waste collection by setting an optimal collection route for the blocked (160) section.

In relation to the collection work of the optimal collection route in the block (160) section, the daily carbon trash can may include a first daily carbon trash can and a second daily carbon trash can.

At this time, it is assumed that there is a second daily carbon trash can whose volume (100d) is less than the first set standard and greater than the second set standard within a set distance from a first daily carbon trash can whose volume (100d) is greater than the first set standard.

Here, the first setting criterion may be 80%, and the second setting criterion may be 50%, but is not limited thereto. The setting distance may be 300 m, 500 m, 1 km, etc., but is not limited thereto.

The optimal collection route setting unit (161c) sets the optimal collection route of the unmanned collection vehicle (161) to perform the collection work of the second daily carbon trash can after the collection work of the first daily carbon trash can is completed.

Meanwhile, in the case where there are multiple second daily carbon trash cans, the optimal collection route setting unit (161c) sets the optimal collection route so that collection work is performed starting from daily carbon trash cans that are located at a shorter distance from the first daily carbon trash can after the collection work of the first daily carbon trash can is completed.

FIG. 11 is a third schematic diagram for explaining a carbon amount-related information monitoring system of a daily carbon trash can according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to Figure 11, the optimization of the collection route and the monitoring method of the collection vehicle of the smart unmanned collection system utilizing daily carbon trash cans in apartment complexes and single-family houses can be seen.

A daily carbon trash can (170) may include a location information receiver (GPS), a device identifier (RFID), a weight measuring device, and a volume measuring device, a data processor that collects signals from these devices and converts them into data, and a communication module that transmits data via wireless communication. The weight and volume are measured in real time by the weight measuring device and the volume measuring device attached to each daily carbon trash can, and the location information of the daily carbon trash can and the information integrated with the device identifier are transmitted in real time to the collection and transportation center (173) through the communication module.

In the collection and transport center (173), information on the device identifier, location information, weight, and volume of each daily carbon trash can (170) is monitored in real time through a firewall and stored in a database. Based on the database (location information, device information, weight information, and volume information) within the area, an optimal collection route (171, 172) for each vehicle is created based on the collection vehicles that can be operated.

The collection route is created based on the status of the operable collection vehicle (174), real-time data on the daily carbon trash can, and weights for each vehicle, and the collection work is instructed to each collection vehicle (174) in real time through confirmation by the operator.

The collection and transport center (173) monitors the operation status of each collection vehicle (during collection, during collection, moving while full, waiting, and breakdown, etc.). The garbage input time, current/accumulated weight, and volume information of each daily carbon trash can are monitored, and daily/weekly/monthly cumulative data is generated and monitored, and the operation status of each daily carbon piggy bank (fullness status: 0~100%, during collection, breakdown, no signal) is monitored in real time.

Figure 12 is a schematic diagram for explaining a carbon amount-related information monitoring system of a daily carbon trash can according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to Figure 12, waste generated from the initial emission source (apartment, single-family home, building, etc.) (181) emits carbon when incinerated, and reduces carbon when recycled and reused as a product.

In order to monitor the carbon emissions of waste brought into an incineration facility (186) that emits carbon, a system can be constructed in which a load cell is installed on a collection vehicle (184) to automatically measure the weight of waste generated from the initial emission source (181). Waste generated from the initial emission source (181) is collected in a volume-based trash can (182) and a recycling trash can (183) and is divided into waste brought into the incineration facility (186) and waste that can be recycled, and the weight is automatically measured to automatically calculate the carbon emissions and carbon reduction amount, thereby conducting primary carbon monitoring at the emission source.

Secondly, a smart collection system is introduced to reduce the operating cost of a vehicle (184) that collects and transports waste along an optimal collection route, and a system is proposed that enables integrated carbon monitoring from the initial emission source (181) to the final treatment facility by analyzing a large amount of operational data generated from an incineration facility (186) in real time for secondary carbon monitoring.

Figure 13 is a schematic diagram for explaining a carbon amount-related information monitoring system of a daily carbon trash can according to the sixth embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to Figure 13, carbon emissions can be reduced by establishing a smart collection system (180) through an optimal collection route, and by inducing citizen participation through the use of volume-based trash cans and recycling trash cans that automatically display carbon emissions and carbon reduction amounts (181).

Recyclable waste is reduced by producing renewable oil and green hydrogen at a waste oil conversion facility (182), and real-time monitoring of carbon emissions and carbon reduction through analysis of large-scale operational data generated at an incineration facility (183) is performed (184). In addition, monitoring results are transparently disclosed to local citizens via the web (185) and utilized as educational and promotional materials for participation in waste separation and collection, thereby enabling integrated monitoring of carbon emissions and carbon reduction through citizen participation.

Although the embodiments of the present invention described above have been described with reference to the embodiments illustrated in the drawings to help understanding, these are merely exemplary, and those with ordinary knowledge in the relevant field will understand that various modifications and equivalent other embodiments are possible from this. Accordingly, the true technical protection scope of the present invention should be determined by the appended claims.
