Abstract

According to the present embodiments, it is possible to provide a rotary LED display device which reduces the size of the device and can be installed in various location so as to reduce the restrictions on installation space and location. The embodiments may provide a rotary LED display device capable of allowing a user to freely change the display contents immediately and satisfying the durability suitable for long-term operation.

Claims (28)

1. A rotary LED display device comprising:

a first rotation module including a first center portion and a first rod portion extending in a radial direction from the first center portion;

a second rotation module including a second center portion and a second rod portion extending in a radial direction from the second center portion and having an LED light emitting unit provided on a front surface thereof, in which the first center portion being coupled to a front surface of the second center portion to be relatively rotatable within a predetermined range, and when a relative rotation angle is greater than or equal to the predetermined range, the second rotation module rotating together with the first rotation module; and

a driving module including a motor having a motor shaft coupled to the first center portion to rotate the first rotating module and a power control unit for supplying and controlling power to the motor and the LED light emitting unit.

2. The rotary LED display device of claim 1 , wherein the LED light emitting unit includes a plurality of LED light sources arranged along a radial direction.

3. The rotary LED display device of claim 1 , wherein the driving module is provided with one or more sensors for detecting an object adjacent to the driving module.

4. The rotary LED display device of claim 3 , wherein the sensor is provided on at least one of a front surface, a rear surface, an upper surface, a lower surface, a left surface, or a right surface of the driving module.

5. The rotary LED display device of claim 3 , wherein the power control unit brakes the motor when an object approaches within a predetermined distance from the driving module is detected by using a detection signal of the sensor.

6. The rotary LED display device of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined range is 180 degrees.

7. The rotary LED display device of claim 1 , wherein a fixing member of a polygonal column shape is coupled to the motor shaft of the motor, and a coupling groove is formed in the first center portion to have a shape corresponding to the fixing member and into which the fixing member is inserted.

8. The rotary LED display device of claim 7 , wherein the first center portion is coupled to the fixing member by bolting.

9. The rotary LED display device of claim 7 , wherein the fixing member is formed in a hexagonal column shape.

10. The rotary LED display device of claim 1 , wherein a through hole through which the motor shaft of the motor passes is formed in the second center portion, and the second center portion is coupled to the motor shaft of the motor by a bearing.

11. The rotary LED display device of claim 1 , wherein a guide slit formed in a rotational direction is formed on one of a rear surface of the first center portion and a front surface of the second center portion, and a guide protrusion inserted into the guide slit is formed on the other of the rear surface of the first center portion and the front surface of the second center portion.

12. The rotary LED display device of claim 11 , wherein dampers are provided at both ends of the guide slit in the rotational direction.

13. The rotary LED display device of claim 1 , wherein the driving module includes a first winding connected to the power control unit and the second rotation module includes a second winding connected to the LED light emitting unit, and power is supplied from the power control unit to the LED light emitting unit by the first winding and the second winding.

14. The rotary LED display device of claim 1 , wherein, as the second rotation module is rotated by the motor, the power control unit controls the LED light emitting unit to display information toward the front.

15. The rotary LED display device of claim 14 , wherein the information displayed on the LED light emitting unit is divided into a plurality of parts, and the information displayed on the plurality of parts is independently controlled.

16. The rotary LED display device of claim 15 , wherein the information displayed by the LED light emitting unit is divided into upper and lower parts.

17. The rotary LED display device of claim 1 , wherein the LED light emitting unit is further provided on a rear surface of the first rod portion.

18. The rotary LED display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

an IoT communication module for receiving advertisement content from a terminal; and

a storage module for storing the received advertisement content,

wherein the power control unit controls the LED light emitting unit to display the received advertisement content.

19. The rotary LED display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a sensor module for collecting environmental data; and

a transmission module for transmitting the collected environmental data to the outside.

20. The rotary LED display device of claim 19 , wherein the environmental data includes data on a concentration of fine dust.
