Description

本発明は、自動整準台に関する。
より詳細には、無人のガスメータ調整設備に利用するための自動整準台に関する。
The present invention relates to an automatic leveling table.
More particularly, the present invention relates to an automatic leveling table for use in an unmanned gas meter adjustment facility.

出願人は、主に湿式のガスメータを製造販売すると共に、ガスメータの調整業務も行っている。
湿式ガスメータには、液体を満たしたケーシングの内部に回転ドラムが設けられている。回転ドラムの中心の水没している箇所からガスを通すと、ガスが回転ドラム内の仕切り部屋に流入してその体積が増える。すると、仕切り部屋に充満するガスの体積の増加に呼応して、回転ドラムが回転する。こうして、ガスの流量に応じて回転ドラムが回転するので、回転ドラムの回転数を計測することにより、ガスの流量を正確に計測することができる。なお、液体はガスの種類に応じて、水や油等が選定されるが、少なくとも計測対象となるガスを吸い込まない液体が選定されることはいうまでもない。
上述の湿式ガスメータの構造については、例えば本出願人の出願である特許文献1に開示されている。
The applicant mainly manufactures and sells wet gas meters and also performs gas meter adjustment work.
In the wet gas meter, a rotating drum is provided inside a casing filled with liquid. When gas is passed through the submerged portion in the center of the rotating drum, the gas flows into the partition chamber in the rotating drum and increases its volume. Then, the rotating drum rotates in response to the increase in the volume of gas filling the partition room. Thus, since the rotating drum rotates according to the gas flow rate, the gas flow rate can be accurately measured by measuring the rotational speed of the rotating drum. In addition, although water, oil, etc. are selected as a liquid according to the kind of gas, it cannot be overemphasized that the liquid which does not inhale the gas used as measurement object at least is selected.
About the structure of the above-mentioned wet gas meter, it is disclosed by patent document 1 which is an application of the present applicant, for example.

特開2001−311640号公報JP 2001-31640 A

出願人は特に精度の高い湿式ガスメータを製造販売するため、製造工程の最終段階における調整や、製品を販売後、経年変化等で精度が低下した製品の再調整を高精度に実施することが重要な業務となっている。
湿式ガスメータはその構造上、調整工程の際には必ず湿式ガスメータの水平が保たれていなければならない。更に、調整工程の際には液体に対する気温の影響を排除するため、一定の温度(例えば23℃)及び湿度に保たれた部屋の中で調整を行わなければならない。
Since the applicant manufactures and sells high-precision wet gas meters, it is important to carry out adjustments at the final stage of the manufacturing process and readjustment of products whose accuracy has deteriorated due to changes over time after the products are sold. Has become an important task.
Due to the structure of the wet gas meter, the wet gas meter must be kept horizontal during the adjustment process. Furthermore, in order to eliminate the influence of the air temperature on the liquid during the adjustment process, the adjustment must be performed in a room maintained at a constant temperature (for example, 23 ° C.) and humidity.

これまで、湿式ガスメータの調整工程の際には、湿式ガスメータの水平を実現するために、手作業で湿式ガスメータの水平調整を行っていた。しかしながら、手作業で調整を行う、ということは、調整を行う部屋に人が侵入することとなる。つまり、人の存在は部屋の温度及び湿度の変動要因となるので、一定の温度及び湿度を保つ必要がある部屋に人が入るのは、調整の精度面で好ましくない。   Until now, during the adjustment process of the wet gas meter, the wet gas meter has been manually adjusted in order to realize the horizontal level of the wet gas meter. However, manual adjustment means that a person enters the room for adjustment. In other words, since the presence of a person causes fluctuations in the temperature and humidity of the room, it is not preferable in terms of adjustment accuracy that the person enters a room that needs to maintain a certain temperature and humidity.

本発明はかかる課題を解決し、容易に据え置かれる物品を水平にする自動整準台を提供することを目的とする。   SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an automatic leveling table that solves such a problem and leveles an easily placed article.

上記課題を解決するために、本発明の自動整準台は、物品が据え置かれる天板と、天板に設置されて天板の面方向の傾斜状態を検出する水平センサと、天板に連動する底板と、底板を貫通して設けられ、球面の接地面を備える第一脚体と、第一脚体を上下方向に駆動する第一モータと、第一脚体の駆動範囲を規制する第一リミットスイッチと、底板を貫通して設けられ、球面の接地面を備える第二脚体と、第二脚体を上下方向に駆動する第二モータと、第二脚体の駆動範囲を規制する第二リミットスイッチと、底板を貫通して設けられ、球面の接地面を備える第三脚体と、第三脚体を上下方向に駆動する第三モータと、第三脚体の駆動範囲を規制する第三リミットスイッチと、水平センサ、第一リミットスイッチ、第二リミットスイッチ及び第三リミットスイッチに接続されて、第一モータ、第二モータ及び第三モータを制御することで第一脚体、第二脚体及び第三脚体を駆動して、天板を水平に調整する制御部とを有する。   In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the automatic leveling table of the present invention includes a top plate on which an article is placed, a horizontal sensor that is installed on the top plate and detects a tilt state in the surface direction of the top plate, and is linked to the top plate. A first leg provided with a spherical grounding surface, a first motor for driving the first leg in the vertical direction, and a first leg for regulating a driving range of the first leg. One limit switch, a second leg provided through the bottom plate and having a spherical contact surface, a second motor for driving the second leg in the vertical direction, and a driving range of the second leg are regulated. The second limit switch, a third leg that is provided through the bottom plate and has a spherical grounding surface, a third motor that drives the third leg up and down, and a drive range of the third leg are restricted. Third limit switch, horizontal sensor, first limit switch, second limit switch and Connected to the three limit switch to control the first motor, second motor and third motor to drive the first leg, second leg and third leg and adjust the top plate horizontally And a control unit.

第一脚体、第二脚体及び第三脚体が半球状の接地面を有することで、据え置かれる箇所を傷つけ難く、且つ安定した姿勢を容易に保持できる。   Since the first leg, the second leg, and the third leg have the hemispherical contact surface, it is difficult to damage the place where the first leg is placed, and a stable posture can be easily maintained.

また、上記課題を解決するために、本発明の自動整準台の水平センサは、検出信号のX軸方向が第一脚体と第二脚体を結ぶ線と平行である。   Moreover, in order to solve the said subject, as for the horizontal sensor of the automatic leveling table | surface of this invention, the X-axis direction of a detection signal is parallel to the line which connects a 1st leg and a 2nd leg.

第一脚体、第二脚体及び第三脚体が水平センサのX軸方向と一致して配置されているので、比較的簡素なアルゴリズムで自動整準処理を遂行できる。   Since the first leg, the second leg, and the third leg are arranged so as to coincide with the X-axis direction of the horizontal sensor, the automatic leveling process can be performed with a relatively simple algorithm.

本発明によれば、据え置かれる物品を水平にする自動整準台を、極めて簡単な部材の組み合わせとその制御方法により提供することができる。   According to the present invention, it is possible to provide an automatic leveling table for leveling a stationary article by a very simple combination of members and its control method.

FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of an automatic leveling table according to an embodiment of the present invention in a state where a wet gas meter is installed.
FIG. 2 is an external perspective view showing the positional relationship between the automatic leveling table and the wet gas meter.
FIG. 3 is an external perspective view of the automatic leveling table as viewed from above.
FIG. 4 is an external perspective view of the automatic leveling table as viewed from below.

自動整準台101は、湿式ガスメータ102が据え置かれる天板201を含む筐体103で構成される。
図2に示すように、アルミニウム合金で形成されている天板201は、湿式ガスメータ102の形状に合わせて、正方形になっている。勿論、天板201は必ずしも正方形でなければならない訳ではなく、湿式ガスメータ102の形状に合わせて最適な形状に変更することが望ましい。
The automatic leveling table 101 includes a casing 103 including a top plate 201 on which a wet gas meter 102 is installed.
As shown in FIG. 2, the top plate 201 formed of an aluminum alloy has a square shape according to the shape of the wet gas meter 102. Of course, the top plate 201 does not necessarily have to be a square, and it is desirable to change it to an optimum shape in accordance with the shape of the wet gas meter 102.

図1及び図2を見て解るように、天板201と湿式ガスメータ102との間には、湿式ガスメータ102の底板に設けられているキャスター102a、102b及び102cに対応して、湿式ガスメータ102を天板201に対して水平に固定するための三つのスペーサ104a、104b及び104cが挟み込まれている。スペーサ104a、104b及び104cは例えばアルミニウム合金であり、それぞれの高さは完全に等しく形成されている。   As can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2, a wet gas meter 102 is provided between the top plate 201 and the wet gas meter 102 in correspondence with casters 102a, 102b and 102c provided on the bottom plate of the wet gas meter 102. Three spacers 104a, 104b and 104c for fixing horizontally to the top plate 201 are sandwiched. The spacers 104a, 104b, and 104c are made of, for example, an aluminum alloy, and the heights thereof are completely equal.

自動整準台101の筐体103の前面には、自動整準動作中であることを示す「START」ランプ105、自動整準動作の結果、水平が達成できたことを示す「OK」ランプ106、及び自動整準動作の結果、水平が達成できなかったことを示す「NG」ランプ107の、三つのランプが設けられている。
自動整準台101は、図示しないスイッチをオン操作することで、直ちに自動整準動作を開始する。
On the front surface of the housing 103 of the automatic leveling table 101, a “START” lamp 105 indicating that automatic leveling operation is being performed, and an “OK” lamp 106 indicating that leveling has been achieved as a result of the automatic leveling operation. And three lamps, “NG” lamp 107, indicating that the leveling could not be achieved as a result of the automatic leveling operation.
The automatic leveling table 101 immediately starts an automatic leveling operation by turning on a switch (not shown).

図3に示すように、天板201には天板201の傾斜状態を検出するための水平センサ301が埋め込まれている。水平センサ301は静電容量式であり、例えば株式会社リズムの「Z−18」(http://www.rhy.jp/sensor.html)である。
自動整準台101は、水平センサ301のX軸方向及びY軸方向の静電容量を検出して、自動整準台101の底板に設けられている三つのモータを駆動して、三つの脚体を上下動させ、天板201の水平を達成する。
As shown in FIG. 3, a horizontal sensor 301 for detecting the inclination state of the top plate 201 is embedded in the top plate 201. The horizontal sensor 301 is a capacitance type, for example, “Z-18” (http://www.rhy.jp/sensor.html) of Rhythm Corporation.
The automatic leveling table 101 detects the electrostatic capacity of the horizontal sensor 301 in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction, drives three motors provided on the bottom plate of the automatic leveling table 101, and has three legs. Move the body up and down to achieve leveling of the top board 201.

また、図4から解るように、底板401には第一脚体402、第二脚体403及び第三脚体404の、三つの脚体が設けられている。第一脚体402、第二脚体403及び第三脚体404は真鍮等の金属製であり、半球状の接地面を有する。接地面が半球状であることで、自動整準台101が据え置かれる箇所を傷めることがなく、また半球状の接地面のどの箇所でも接地できるので、安定した整準動作を実現する。更に、第一脚体402、第二脚体403及び第三脚体404の半球状の接地面は、自動整準台101が据え置かれる平面上に多少の凹凸があっても、安定した姿勢保持を実現する。   As can be seen from FIG. 4, the bottom plate 401 is provided with three legs, a first leg 402, a second leg 403, and a third leg 404. The first leg 402, the second leg 403, and the third leg 404 are made of metal such as brass, and have a hemispherical contact surface. Since the ground surface is hemispherical, the place where the automatic leveling table 101 is placed is not damaged, and any part of the hemispherical ground surface can be grounded, thereby realizing a stable leveling operation. Furthermore, the hemispherical contact surfaces of the first leg 402, the second leg 403, and the third leg 404 maintain a stable posture even if there is some unevenness on the plane on which the automatic leveling table 101 is placed. Is realized.

図5は、自動整準台101から天板201及び筐体103の側壁を取り外した状態で、底板401を自動整準台101の後ろ側の斜め上方から見下ろした状態の斜視図である。なお、底板401には後述する駆動制御部や電源部等の電子回路が設けられているが、説明の都合上省略している。
図6は、第三脚部の断面図である。
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a state in which the bottom plate 401 is looked down obliquely from the upper rear side of the automatic leveling table 101 with the top plate 201 and the side walls of the housing 103 removed from the automatic leveling table 101. The bottom plate 401 is provided with electronic circuits such as a drive control unit and a power supply unit, which will be described later, but is omitted for convenience of description.
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the third leg.

底板401には、脚体が貫通する穴が三つ設けられており、脚体を上下動させる駆動機構と、脚体が最も短くなった状態を検出するためのリミットスイッチが設けられている。これ以降、脚体と、駆動機構と、リミットスイッチとこれに連動する機械部品を併せて脚部と呼ぶ。   The bottom plate 401 is provided with three holes through which the leg passes, and is provided with a drive mechanism for moving the leg up and down and a limit switch for detecting the shortest leg. Hereinafter, the leg, the drive mechanism, the limit switch, and the mechanical parts interlocked with the leg are collectively referred to as a leg.

図5に示すように、底板401には第一脚体402が存在する箇所に第一脚部501が設けられている。同様に、底板401の第二脚体403が存在する箇所に第二脚部502が設けられている。同様に、底板401の第三脚体404が存在する箇所に第三脚部503が設けられている。第一脚部501、第二脚部502及び第三脚部503は全て同じ構成である。図6は第三脚部の断面図を示すが、第一脚部501及び第二脚部502も全く同じ構成である。   As shown in FIG. 5, a first leg 501 is provided on the bottom plate 401 where the first leg 402 exists. Similarly, a second leg portion 502 is provided at a location where the second leg body 403 of the bottom plate 401 exists. Similarly, a third leg portion 503 is provided at a location where the third leg 404 of the bottom plate 401 exists. The first leg portion 501, the second leg portion 502, and the third leg portion 503 all have the same configuration. FIG. 6 shows a cross-sectional view of the third leg portion, and the first leg portion 501 and the second leg portion 502 have exactly the same configuration.

第三脚体404の内側は中空状であり、その側壁には螺旋状の溝が形成されている。第三脚体404の内側には、側壁の螺旋状の溝に嵌合する駆動軸601がねじ込まれている。なお、第三脚体404の外側には溝が形成され、底板401に設けられた回り止め602に嵌合する。   The inside of the third leg 404 is hollow, and a spiral groove is formed on the side wall thereof. A drive shaft 601 that fits into a spiral groove on the side wall is screwed inside the third leg 404. In addition, a groove is formed on the outer side of the third leg 404 and is fitted to a rotation stopper 602 provided on the bottom plate 401.

駆動軸601は歯車603で回転駆動される。歯車603は第三モータJ3によって回転駆動される。つまり、第三モータJ3を回転駆動すると、それに連れて歯車603が回転駆動され、駆動軸601が回転駆動される。駆動軸601が回転駆動されると、第三脚体404の内側の側壁の螺旋状の溝を通じて、第三脚体404を上下方向に駆動する。その際、第三脚体404と嵌合する回り止め602によって、第三脚体404自体が回転駆動されることが防止される。   The drive shaft 601 is rotationally driven by a gear 603. The gear 603 is rotationally driven by the third motor J3. That is, when the third motor J3 is rotationally driven, the gear 603 is rotationally driven accordingly, and the drive shaft 601 is rotationally driven. When the drive shaft 601 is rotationally driven, the third leg 404 is driven in the vertical direction through a spiral groove on the inner side wall of the third leg 404. At this time, the third leg 404 itself is prevented from being rotated by the rotation stopper 602 fitted to the third leg 404.

第三脚体404の、回り止め602が嵌合する溝と相対する側面には、L字金具613の一方の辺部が固着されている。このL字金具613の他方の辺部は、ピン604が上下動可能に取り付けられており、このピン604によって、底板401の貫通穴を通じて、スイッチ固定金具606に固定されているマイクロスイッチよりなるリミットスイッチ607が押し上げられるようになっている。そして、リミットスイッチ607がピン604によって押し上げられると、リミットスイッチ607はオン状態になり、後述する制御部にその状態が伝達される。   One side portion of the L-shaped metal fitting 613 is fixed to the side surface of the third leg 404 facing the groove into which the rotation stopper 602 is fitted. A pin 604 is attached to the other side of the L-shaped metal fitting 613 so that the pin 604 can move up and down, and a limit composed of a micro switch fixed to the switch fixing metal fitting 606 through the through hole of the bottom plate 401 by the pin 604. The switch 607 is pushed up. When the limit switch 607 is pushed up by the pin 604, the limit switch 607 is turned on, and the state is transmitted to the control unit described later.

図5において、自動整準台101の前面側に位置する左右の二つの脚部は、第一脚部501と第二脚部502である。第一脚部501には第一モータJ1が設けられており、第二脚部502には第二モータJ2が設けられている。第一モータJ1と第二モータJ2を結ぶ方向がX軸方向である。   In FIG. 5, the left and right two leg portions located on the front side of the automatic leveling table 101 are a first leg portion 501 and a second leg portion 502. The first leg 501 is provided with a first motor J1, and the second leg 502 is provided with a second motor J2. The direction connecting the first motor J1 and the second motor J2 is the X-axis direction.

X軸方向の角度を調整するには、第一モータJ1を上昇させる際には第二モータJ2を下降させるか停止させる。逆に、第一モータJ1を下降させる際には第二モータJ2を上昇させるか停止させる。   To adjust the angle in the X-axis direction, the second motor J2 is lowered or stopped when the first motor J1 is raised. Conversely, when lowering the first motor J1, the second motor J2 is raised or stopped.

自動整準台101の後面側に位置する一つの脚部は、第三脚部503である。第三脚部503には第三モータJ3が設けられている。X軸方向と直交する方向がY軸方向である。Y軸方向の角度を調整するには、第三モータJ3を上昇または下降させる必要があるが、第三モータJ3を上昇させる際には、第一モータJ1及び第二モータJ2を下降させるか停止させる。逆に、第三モータJ3を下降させる際には、第一モータJ1及び第二モータJ2を上昇させるか停止させる。   One leg located on the rear surface side of the automatic leveling table 101 is a third leg 503. The third leg 503 is provided with a third motor J3. The direction orthogonal to the X-axis direction is the Y-axis direction. To adjust the angle in the Y-axis direction, it is necessary to raise or lower the third motor J3. When raising the third motor J3, the first motor J1 and the second motor J2 are lowered or stopped. Let Conversely, when lowering the third motor J3, the first motor J1 and the second motor J2 are raised or stopped.

前述の処理を実現するために、天板201に固定される水平センサ301は、水平センサ301自体のX軸方向及びY軸方向の座標軸が、第一脚部501、第二脚部502及び第三脚部503の配置関係と一致するように、天板201に取り付けられる。   In order to realize the above-described processing, the horizontal sensor 301 fixed to the top plate 201 has the coordinate axes in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction of the horizontal sensor 301 itself so that the first leg 501, the second leg 502, and the second It is attached to the top plate 201 so as to coincide with the arrangement relationship of the tripod 503.

図7は、制御部のブロック図である。
水平センサ301は、X軸方向とY軸方向にそれぞれプラス方向及びマイナス方向に変化する四つの可変容量コンデンサよりなる。この四つの可変容量コンデンサの静電容量を計測するため、交流電圧源702と抵抗R703を、アナログスイッチ704を通じて四つの可変容量コンデンサに順番に接続し、コンデンサの端子間電圧を検出することで、静電容量の変化を検出する。
FIG. 7 is a block diagram of the control unit.
The horizontal sensor 301 includes four variable capacitors that change in the positive and negative directions in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction, respectively. In order to measure the capacitance of these four variable capacitors, an AC voltage source 702 and a resistor R703 are connected in sequence to the four variable capacitors through the analog switch 704, and the voltage between the terminals of the capacitor is detected. Detects changes in capacitance.

可変容量コンデンサの両端から得られる電圧は、交流である。そこで、乗算器705でコンデンサの端子間電圧と交流電圧源702とをアナログ乗算して、直流(脈流)の信号に変換する。こうして得られた可変容量コンデンサの両端電圧信号を、A/D変換器706でデジタルデータに変換する。A/D変換器706を通じて得られる四つの可変容量コンデンサの両端電圧データは、傾き算出部707によって座標データに変換される。   The voltage obtained from both ends of the variable capacitor is alternating current. Therefore, the multiplier 705 analog-multiplies the voltage between the terminals of the capacitor and the AC voltage source 702 to convert it into a DC (pulsating) signal. The voltage signal across the variable capacitor thus obtained is converted into digital data by the A / D converter 706. The voltage data across the four variable capacitors obtained through the A / D converter 706 is converted into coordinate data by the slope calculation unit 707.

座標データは水平制御部708に供給される。水平制御部708は、第一脚部501、第二脚部502及び第三脚部503の三つの脚部に設けられている三つのリミットスイッチ607、608及び609の論理値信号も得て、第一脚部501、第二脚部502及び第三脚部503の三つの脚部を駆動する第一モータJ1、第二モータJ2及び第三モータJ3の三つのモータを駆動制御して、天板201の自動整準動作を実現する。
上述の傾き算出部707と水平制御部708は、マイコンのプログラム或はPLCで実現される。
The coordinate data is supplied to the horizontal control unit 708. The horizontal control unit 708 also obtains logical value signals of three limit switches 607, 608, and 609 provided on the three legs of the first leg 501, the second leg 502, and the third leg 503, The three motors of the first motor J1, the second motor J2, and the third motor J3 that drive the three legs of the first leg 501, the second leg 502, and the third leg 503 are driven and controlled, and An automatic leveling operation of the plate 201 is realized.
The inclination calculation unit 707 and the horizontal control unit 708 described above are realized by a microcomputer program or PLC.

なお、静電容量の検出方法は上述の方法に留まらない。例えば、コンデンサの過渡応答特性を利用して、極短い一定時間だけ定電流源にコンデンサを接続し、可変容量コンデンサの静電容量の違いに伴う端子間電圧の違いを、サンプルホールド回路を用いて検出してもよい。   Note that the capacitance detection method is not limited to the above-described method. For example, using a capacitor's transient response characteristics, connect a capacitor to a constant current source for a very short period of time, and use a sample-and-hold circuit to determine the voltage difference between terminals due to the difference in capacitance of a variable capacitor. It may be detected.

図8〜図10は、本発明の実施形態例における水平制御部で実行される、第一の水平調整方法を示すフローチャートである。
図8に示すように、水平制御部708は、図示しないスイッチ等で自動整準処理を指示されると(S801)、「START」ランプ105を点灯させた(S802)後、先ず傾き算出部707を通じて、水平センサ301の検出値を確認し、水平センサ301のX軸方向及びY軸方向の値の絶対値が、予め定められた所定値を超えているか判定する(S803)。検出値の絶対値が所定値を超えていれば(S803のYES)、水平制御部708は、現在の天板201の傾き具合が微調整可能な範囲から外れていると判断し、一旦初期化動作ともいえるステージ1処理を実行する(S804)。
ステージ1処理は、一旦三つの脚部全てを下げ切った後、三つの脚部全てを均等な時間だけ駆動して、各々の脚部の駆動中間点に移動する処理である。
8 to 10 are flowcharts showing a first horizontal adjustment method executed by the horizontal control unit in the embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 8, when the level control unit 708 is instructed to perform an automatic leveling process with a switch or the like (not shown) (S801), after the “START” lamp 105 is turned on (S802), first, the inclination calculation unit 707 is turned on. Then, the detection value of the horizontal sensor 301 is confirmed, and it is determined whether the absolute value of the value of the horizontal sensor 301 in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction exceeds a predetermined value (S803). If the absolute value of the detected value exceeds the predetermined value (YES in S803), the horizontal control unit 708 determines that the current inclination of the top plate 201 is out of the finely adjustable range, and once initializes it. Stage 1 processing, which can be called operation, is executed (S804).
The stage 1 process is a process in which all the three leg portions are once lowered and then all the three leg portions are driven for an equal time to move to the driving intermediate point of each leg portion.

ステップS804でステージ1処理を実行した後、或はステップS803で微調整可能な範囲であると判断した場合(S803のNO)、水平制御部708は、次に自動整準処理の主たる処理であるステージ2処理を実行する(S805)。
ステージ2処理は、水平センサ301の検出値を参照して、X軸方向の水平を調整した後、Y軸方向の水平を調整する処理である。
After the stage 1 process is executed in step S804, or when it is determined in step S803 that the range is fine adjustable (NO in S803), the horizontal control unit 708 is the main process of the automatic leveling process next. Stage 2 processing is executed (S805).
Stage 2 processing refers to processing for adjusting the horizontal in the Y-axis direction after adjusting the horizontal in the X-axis direction with reference to the detection value of the horizontal sensor 301.

ステージ2処理を実行した後、水平制御部708は改めて水平センサ301の検出値を確認して、X軸方向及びY軸方向の両方共、水平状態と判断出来る所定値の範囲内に収まっているか否かを確認する(S806)。もし、水平が達成されていれば(S806のYES)、「OK」ランプ106を点灯させて(S807)、一連の処理を終了する(S808)。   After executing the stage 2 process, the horizontal control unit 708 confirms the detection value of the horizontal sensor 301 again, and whether both the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction are within a predetermined value range that can be determined as the horizontal state. It is confirmed whether or not (S806). If the level is achieved (YES in S806), the “OK” lamp 106 is turned on (S807), and the series of processing ends (S808).

ステップS806において、もし、水平が達成されていなければ(S806のNO)、水平制御部708は内部のカウンタを1増加させる(S809)。次に、水平制御部708はカウンタの計数値Nが予め定められた制限値である「5」を超えていないかどうか確認する(S810)。
カウンタの計数値Nが制限値「5」を越えていなければ(S810のNO)、再びステージ2処理を繰り返す(S805)。
カウンタの計数値Nが制限値「5」を越えていれば(S810のYES)、もはや自動整準処理は叶わないと判断し、「NG」ランプ107を点灯させて(S811)、一連の処理を終了する(S808)。
In step S806, if the level is not achieved (NO in S806), the horizontal control unit 708 increments the internal counter by 1 (S809). Next, the horizontal control unit 708 checks whether or not the count value N of the counter exceeds “5” which is a predetermined limit value (S810).
If the count value N of the counter does not exceed the limit value “5” (NO in S810), the stage 2 process is repeated again (S805).
If the count value N of the counter exceeds the limit value “5” (YES in S810), it is determined that the automatic leveling process is no longer achieved, the “NG” lamp 107 is turned on (S811), and a series of processes Is finished (S808).

図9は、水平制御部708で実行される、ステージ1処理のフローチャートである。図8のステップS804の処理の詳細である。
処理を開始すると(S901)、水平制御部708は最初に第一モータJ1、第二モータJ2及び第三モータJ3を全て下降させる(S902)。
FIG. 9 is a flowchart of the stage 1 process executed by the horizontal control unit 708. It is a detail of the process of step S804 of FIG.
When the process is started (S901), the horizontal control unit 708 first lowers all of the first motor J1, the second motor J2, and the third motor J3 (S902).

次に、水平制御部708は第一のリミットスイッチ607を監視して、第一モータJ1が最下端に至ったか否かを確認する(S903)。最下端に至ったなら(S903のYES)、水平制御部708は第一モータJ1を停止させる(S904)。   Next, the horizontal control unit 708 monitors the first limit switch 607 to check whether or not the first motor J1 has reached the lowest end (S903). If the lowest end is reached (YES in S903), the horizontal control unit 708 stops the first motor J1 (S904).

次に、水平制御部708はステップS903で第一モータJ1が最下端に至ったか否かに関わらず、第二のリミットスイッチ607を監視して、第二モータJ2が最下端に至ったか否かを確認する(S905)。最下端に至ったなら(S905のYES)、水平制御部708は第二モータJ2を停止させる(S906)。   Next, the horizontal control unit 708 monitors the second limit switch 607 regardless of whether or not the first motor J1 has reached the lowest end in step S903, and whether or not the second motor J2 has reached the lowest end. Is confirmed (S905). If the lowest end is reached (YES in S905), the horizontal control unit 708 stops the second motor J2 (S906).

次に、水平制御部708はステップS905で第二モータJ2が最下端に至ったか否かに関わらず、第三のリミットスイッチ607を監視して、第三モータJ3が最下端に至ったか否かを確認する(S907)。最下端に至ったなら(S907のYES)、水平制御部708は第三モータJ3を停止させる(S908)。   Next, the horizontal control unit 708 monitors the third limit switch 607 regardless of whether or not the second motor J2 has reached the lowest end in step S905, and whether or not the third motor J3 has reached the lowest end. Is confirmed (S907). If the lowest end is reached (YES in S907), the horizontal control unit 708 stops the third motor J3 (S908).

次に、水平制御部708はステップS907で第三モータJ3が最下端に至ったか否かに関わらず、第一のリミットスイッチ607、第二のリミットスイッチ607及び第三のリミットスイッチ607を監視して、第一モータJ1、第二モータJ2及び第三モータJ3の全てが最下端に至ったか否かを確認する(S909)。いずれか一つ以上のモータが未だに最下端に至っていないなら(S909のNO)、再度ステップS903から処理を繰り返す。   Next, the horizontal control unit 708 monitors the first limit switch 607, the second limit switch 607, and the third limit switch 607 regardless of whether or not the third motor J3 has reached the lowest end in step S907. Then, it is confirmed whether or not all of the first motor J1, the second motor J2, and the third motor J3 have reached the lowest end (S909). If any one or more motors have not yet reached the lowest end (NO in S909), the process is repeated from step S903 again.

ステップS909で全てのモータが最下端に至ったなら(S909のYES)、水平制御部708は内部のタイマをオン操作して(S910)、第一モータJ1、第二モータJ2及び第三モータJ3の全てを上昇させる(S911)。そして、タイマが所定時間を計数するまで待ち(S912のNO)、タイマが所定時間に至ったなら(S912のYES)、第一モータJ1、第二モータJ2及び第三モータJ3の全てを停止させて(S913)、一連の処理を終了する(S914)。   If all the motors reach the lowest end in step S909 (YES in S909), the horizontal control unit 708 turns on the internal timer (S910), and the first motor J1, the second motor J2, and the third motor J3. Are all raised (S911). Then, it waits until the timer counts the predetermined time (NO in S912). If the timer reaches the predetermined time (YES in S912), all of the first motor J1, the second motor J2, and the third motor J3 are stopped. (S913), and the series of processing ends (S914).

図10は、水平制御部708で実行される、ステージ2処理のフローチャートである。図8のステップS805の処理の詳細である。
処理を開始すると(S1001)、水平制御部708は最初に水平センサ301のX軸方向の値が正の値であるか否か確認する(S1002)。正の値であれば(S1002のYES)、第一モータJ1を上昇させると共に、第二モータJ2を下降させる(S1003)。
FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the stage 2 process executed by the horizontal control unit 708. It is a detail of the process of step S805 of FIG.
When the process is started (S1001), the horizontal control unit 708 first checks whether or not the value of the horizontal sensor 301 in the X-axis direction is a positive value (S1002). If it is a positive value (YES in S1002), the first motor J1 is raised and the second motor J2 is lowered (S1003).

次に、水平制御部708はステップS1002で水平センサ301のX軸方向の値が正の値であるか否かに関わらず、水平センサ301のX軸方向の値が負の値であるか否か確認する(S1004)。負の値であれば(S1004のYES)、第一モータJ1を下降させると共に、第二モータJ2を上昇させる(S1005)。   Next, the horizontal control unit 708 determines whether or not the value of the horizontal sensor 301 in the X-axis direction is a negative value regardless of whether or not the value of the horizontal sensor 301 in the X-axis direction is a positive value in step S1002. (S1004). If it is a negative value (YES in S1004), the first motor J1 is lowered and the second motor J2 is raised (S1005).

次に、水平制御部708はステップS1004で水平センサ301のX軸方向の値が負の値であるか否かに関わらず、水平センサ301のX軸方向の値が水平の範囲内の値であるか否か確認する(S1006)。水平範囲内の値でなければ(S1006のNO)、再びステップS1002から繰り返す。水平範囲内の値であれば(S1006のYES)、第一モータJ1及び第二モータJ2を停止させる(S1007)。
ステップS1007の時点で、自動整準台101のX軸方向の水平が達成されたこととなる。
Next, in step S1004, the horizontal control unit 708 determines that the value of the horizontal sensor 301 in the X-axis direction is a value within the horizontal range regardless of whether or not the value of the horizontal sensor 301 in the X-axis direction is a negative value. It is confirmed whether or not there is (S1006). If the value is not within the horizontal range (NO in S1006), the process is repeated from step S1002. If the value is within the horizontal range (YES in S1006), the first motor J1 and the second motor J2 are stopped (S1007).
At the time of step S1007, the leveling in the X-axis direction of the automatic leveling table 101 is achieved.

次に、水平制御部708は水平センサ301のY軸方向の値が正の値であるか否か確認する(S1008)。正の値であれば(S1008のYES)、第一モータJ1及び第二モータJ2を上昇させると共に、第三モータJ3を下降させる(S1009)。   Next, the horizontal control unit 708 checks whether or not the value of the horizontal sensor 301 in the Y-axis direction is a positive value (S1008). If it is a positive value (YES in S1008), the first motor J1 and the second motor J2 are raised and the third motor J3 is lowered (S1009).

次に、水平制御部708はステップS1008で水平センサ301のY軸方向の値が正の値であるか否かに関わらず、水平センサ301のY軸方向の値が負の値であるか否か確認する(S1010)。負の値であれば(S1010のYES)、第一モータJ1及び第二モータJ2を下降させると共に、第三モータJ3を上昇させる(S1011)。   Next, in step S1008, the horizontal control unit 708 determines whether the value of the horizontal sensor 301 in the Y-axis direction is a negative value regardless of whether the value of the horizontal sensor 301 in the Y-axis direction is a positive value. (S1010). If it is a negative value (YES in S1010), the first motor J1 and the second motor J2 are lowered and the third motor J3 is raised (S1011).

次に、水平制御部708はステップS1010で水平センサ301のY軸方向の値が負の値であるか否かに関わらず、水平センサ301のY軸方向の値が水平の範囲内の値であるか否か確認する(S1012)。水平範囲内の値でなければ(S1012のNO)、再びステップS1008から繰り返す。水平範囲内の値であれば(S1012のYES)、第一モータJ1及び第二モータJ2を停止させて(S1013)、一連の処理を終了する(S1014)。   Next, in step S1010, the horizontal control unit 708 determines that the value in the Y-axis direction of the horizontal sensor 301 is a value within the horizontal range regardless of whether the value in the Y-axis direction of the horizontal sensor 301 is a negative value. It is confirmed whether or not there is (S1012). If the value is not within the horizontal range (NO in S1012), the process is repeated from step S1008. If the value is within the horizontal range (YES in S1012), the first motor J1 and the second motor J2 are stopped (S1013), and the series of processes is terminated (S1014).

ステップS1013の時点で、自動整準台101のY軸方向の水平が達成されたこととなる。しかし、ステップS1013の時点で、X軸方向の水平が維持されているとは限らない。Y軸方向の移動量が大きいと、一旦水平になっていたX軸方向に傾きが生じてしまう虞がある。
そこで、水平制御部708は図8の水平調整プログラムで示すように、ステップS805でステージ2処理を実施した後、ステップS806で改めて水平センサ301を確認する。この時点でX軸方向の水平が維持されていなければ、再びステージ2処理を繰り返す。但し、ステージ2処理を何度も繰り返しても傾きが大き過ぎて自動整準処理が完遂できない場合もある。そこで、ステップS809及びステップS810にて、カウンタでステージ2処理の繰り返し回数を制限している。
At the time of step S1013, the leveling in the Y-axis direction of the automatic leveling table 101 is achieved. However, the horizontal direction in the X-axis direction is not always maintained at the time of step S1013. If the amount of movement in the Y-axis direction is large, there is a risk that an inclination will occur in the X-axis direction once horizontal.
Therefore, as shown in the horizontal adjustment program of FIG. 8, the horizontal control unit 708 performs stage 2 processing in step S805, and then checks the horizontal sensor 301 again in step S806. If the horizontal direction in the X-axis direction is not maintained at this time, the stage 2 process is repeated again. However, even if the stage 2 process is repeated many times, the tilt may be too large to complete the automatic leveling process. Therefore, in step S809 and step S810, the number of repetitions of stage 2 processing is limited by a counter.

次に、図11〜図14に基づいて、本発明の実施形態例における水平制御部で実行される、第二の水平調整方法について説明する。この方法は、図8〜図10で説明した方法の一変形例ということができる、
図8〜図10に示した方法と異なる点は、三つの脚部を全て下げ切った後、傾きに応じて最も高い位置にある脚部を除く残り二つの脚部のみを上昇させるようにした点である。以下、図11〜図13に示すフローチャートに基づいて、本発明の実施形態の変形例について説明する。
図11において、図8の処理との異なる点は、図8のステップS803における、水平センサ301のX軸方向及びY軸方向の値の絶対値が、予め定められた所定値を超えているか判定する処理が存在しない点である。また、ステージ1処理は三つの脚部を全て下げ切る処理のみを行う。更に、ステージ2処理は三つの脚部のうち、傾きに応じて最も高い位置にある脚部を除く残り二つの脚部のみを上昇させる。
Next, based on FIGS. 11-14, the 2nd horizontal adjustment method performed in the horizontal control part in the embodiment of this invention is demonstrated. This method can be referred to as a modification of the method described in FIGS.
The difference from the method shown in FIGS. 8 to 10 is that after all the three legs are lowered, only the remaining two legs except the leg at the highest position are raised according to the inclination. Is a point. Hereinafter, a modification of the embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the flowcharts shown in FIGS.
11 is different from the process of FIG. 8 in that whether or not the absolute values of the values in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction of the horizontal sensor 301 exceed a predetermined value in step S803 of FIG. There is no processing to do. In the stage 1 process, only the process of lowering all three legs is performed. Further, the stage 2 process raises only the remaining two legs excluding the leg located at the highest position according to the inclination among the three legs.

図12は、水平制御部708で実行される、ステージ1処理のフローチャートである。図11のステップS1103の処理の詳細である。
図12の、図9の処理との相違点は、図9のステップS910以降の、三つの脚部をタイマで規定した時間だけ上昇させる処理が省略されている点である。
FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the stage 1 process executed by the horizontal control unit 708. It is a detail of the process of step S1103 of FIG.
The difference between FIG. 12 and the process of FIG. 9 is that the process of raising the three legs by the time specified by the timer after step S910 of FIG. 9 is omitted.

図13は、水平制御部708で実行される、ステージ2処理のフローチャートである。図11のステップS1104の処理の詳細である。
処理を開始すると(S1301)、水平制御部708は最初に水平センサ301のX軸方向の値が正の値であるか否か確認する(S1302)。正の値であれば(S1302のYES)、第二モータJ2は停止させたまま、第一モータJ1を上昇させる(S1303)。
そして、この時点で第二モータJ2を停止させたことを、図示しないメモリに記憶する(S1304)。
FIG. 13 is a flowchart of the stage 2 process executed by the horizontal control unit 708. It is a detail of the process of step S1104 of FIG.
When the process is started (S1301), the horizontal control unit 708 first checks whether or not the value of the horizontal sensor 301 in the X-axis direction is a positive value (S1302). If it is a positive value (YES in S1302), the first motor J1 is raised while the second motor J2 is stopped (S1303).
Then, the fact that the second motor J2 is stopped at this time is stored in a memory (not shown) (S1304).

次に、水平制御部708はステップS1302で水平センサ301のX軸方向の値が正の値であるか否かに関わらず、水平センサ301のX軸方向の値が負の値であるか否か確認する(S1305)。負の値であれば(S1305のYES)、第一モータJ1は停止させたまま、第二モータJ2を上昇させる(S1306)。
そして、この時点で第一モータJ1を停止させたことを、図示しないメモリに記憶する(S1307)。
Next, in step S1302, the horizontal control unit 708 determines whether or not the value of the horizontal sensor 301 in the X-axis direction is a negative value regardless of whether or not the value of the horizontal sensor 301 in the X-axis direction is a positive value. (S1305). If it is a negative value (YES in S1305), the second motor J2 is raised while the first motor J1 is stopped (S1306).
Then, the fact that the first motor J1 is stopped at this time is stored in a memory (not shown) (S1307).

次に、水平制御部708はステップS1305で水平センサ301のX軸方向の値が負の値であるか否かに関わらず、水平センサ301のX軸方向の値が水平の範囲内の値であるか否か確認する(S1308)。水平範囲内の値でなければ(S1308のNO)、再びステップS1302から繰り返す。水平範囲内の値であれば(S1308のYES)、第一モータJ1又は第二モータJ2を停止させる(S1309)。
ステップS1309の時点で、自動整準台101のX軸方向の水平が達成されたこととなる。
Next, in step S1305, the horizontal control unit 708 determines that the value of the horizontal sensor 301 in the X axis direction is a value within the horizontal range regardless of whether the value of the horizontal sensor 301 in the X axis direction is a negative value. It is confirmed whether or not there is (S1308). If the value is not within the horizontal range (NO in S1308), the process is repeated from step S1302. If the value is within the horizontal range (YES in S1308), the first motor J1 or the second motor J2 is stopped (S1309).
At the time of step S1309, the horizontal alignment in the X-axis direction of the automatic leveling table 101 is achieved.

次に、水平制御部708は水平センサ301のY軸方向の値が正の値であるか否か確認する(S1310)。正の値であれば(S1310のYES)、この時点で第三脚部503が一番高い位置にあることと判断できる。つまり、上昇駆動すべきは第一脚部501と第二脚部502である。そこで、図示しないメモリにはステップS1304で第二モータJ2を停止させたことを記憶しているのか、それともステップS1307で第一モータJ1を停止させたことを記憶しているのかを確認する(S1311)。
メモリにはステップS1304で第二モータJ2を停止させたことが記憶されているのであれば(S1311のYES)、ステップS1303で第一モータJ1を駆動したので、次に第二モータJ2を上昇させる(S1312)。
Next, the horizontal control unit 708 checks whether or not the value of the horizontal sensor 301 in the Y-axis direction is a positive value (S1310). If it is a positive value (YES in S1310), it can be determined that the third leg 503 is at the highest position at this point. In other words, the first leg 501 and the second leg 502 should be driven up. Therefore, it is confirmed whether the memory (not shown) stores that the second motor J2 is stopped in step S1304 or whether the first motor J1 is stopped in step S1307 (S1311). ).
If it is stored in the memory that the second motor J2 was stopped in step S1304 (YES in S1311), the first motor J1 was driven in step S1303, and then the second motor J2 is raised. (S1312).

ステップS1311の時点で、メモリにはステップS1307で第一モータJ1を停止させたことが記憶されているのであれば(S1311のNO)、ステップS1306で第二モータJ2を駆動したので、第一モータJ1を上昇させる(S1313)。   If it is stored in step S1311 that the first motor J1 is stopped in step S1307 (NO in S1311), the second motor J2 is driven in step S1306. J1 is raised (S1313).

ステップS1310において、水平センサ301のY軸方向の値が負の値であれば(S1310のNO)、この時点で第三脚部503が一番高い位置にはないことと判断できる。つまり、上昇駆動すべきは、第一脚部501と第二脚部502のうちのいずれか低い方と第三脚部503である。そして、「第一脚部501と第二脚部502のうちのいずれか低い方」は、既にステップS1303又はステップS1306で上昇駆動されているので、残るは第三脚部503である。そこで、第三モータJ3を上昇駆動させる(S1314)。   In step S1310, if the value of the horizontal sensor 301 in the Y-axis direction is a negative value (NO in S1310), it can be determined that the third leg 503 is not at the highest position at this time. That is, what should be driven up is the lower one of the first leg 501 and the second leg 502 and the third leg 503. Since “the lower one of the first leg portion 501 and the second leg portion 502” has already been driven up in step S1303 or step S1306, the remaining is the third leg portion 503. Therefore, the third motor J3 is driven up (S1314).

次に、水平制御部708はステップS1312、S1313又はS1314の何れかの処理の後、水平センサ301のY軸方向の値が水平の範囲内の値であるか否か確認する(S1315)。水平範囲内の値でなければ(S1315のNO)、再びステップS1310から繰り返す。水平範囲内の値であれば(S1315のYES)、直前まで駆動していた第一モータJ1、第二モータJ2又は第三モータのいずれかを停止させて(S1316)、一連の処理を終了する(S1317)。   Next, the horizontal control unit 708 confirms whether the value in the Y-axis direction of the horizontal sensor 301 is a value within the horizontal range after the processing in any of steps S1312, S1313, and S1314 (S1315). If the value is not within the horizontal range (NO in S1315), the process is repeated from step S1310. If the value is within the horizontal range (YES in S1315), any one of the first motor J1, the second motor J2, or the third motor that has been driven until immediately before is stopped (S1316), and the series of processing ends. (S1317).

図14(a)、(b)、(c)及び(d)は、ステージ2処理の仕組みを説明する模式図である。
図14(a)は、第一脚部501、第二脚部502及び第三脚部503の位置関係を示す模式図である。第一脚部501の第一モータJ1と第二脚部502の第二モータJ2とを結ぶ線はX軸方向の座標軸であり、X軸方向の座標軸を直交して第三脚部503の第三モータJ3を通過する線はY軸方向の座標軸である。
FIGS. 14A, 14B, 14C, and 14D are schematic diagrams illustrating the mechanism of stage 2 processing.
FIG. 14A is a schematic diagram showing the positional relationship between the first leg portion 501, the second leg portion 502, and the third leg portion 503. FIG. A line connecting the first motor J1 of the first leg portion 501 and the second motor J2 of the second leg portion 502 is a coordinate axis in the X-axis direction, and the third leg portion 503 is perpendicular to the coordinate axis in the X-axis direction. A line passing through the three motors J3 is a coordinate axis in the Y-axis direction.

図14(b)は、第三脚部503が最も高い位置にある場合の、斜面に第一脚部501、第二脚部502及び第三脚部503が配置されている状態を示す模式図である。第三脚部503が最も高い位置にある場合、第一脚部501と第二脚部502のどちらがより高い位置にあるか否かで、最初のX軸方向の調整工程の順番が異なる。しかし、何れの場合においても、第三脚部503は駆動する必要はない。   FIG. 14B is a schematic diagram showing a state in which the first leg 501, the second leg 502, and the third leg 503 are arranged on the slope when the third leg 503 is at the highest position. It is. When the third leg 503 is at the highest position, the order of the first adjustment process in the X-axis direction differs depending on whether the first leg 501 or the second leg 502 is at a higher position. However, in either case, the third leg 503 need not be driven.

図14(c)は、第二脚部502が最も高い位置にある場合の、斜面に第一脚部501、第二脚部502及び第三脚部503が配置されている状態を示す模式図である。第二脚部502が最も高い位置にある場合、第二脚部502は駆動する必要はないので、第一脚部501と第三脚部503の何れが高いか否かに関わらず、最初のX軸方向の調整工程では必ず第一脚部501を上昇駆動し、次のY軸方向の調整工程では第三脚部503を上昇駆動することとなる。   FIG. 14C is a schematic diagram showing a state where the first leg portion 501, the second leg portion 502, and the third leg portion 503 are arranged on the slope when the second leg portion 502 is at the highest position. It is. When the second leg 502 is at the highest position, the second leg 502 does not need to be driven, so that the first leg 501 and the third leg 503 are not affected. In the adjustment process in the X-axis direction, the first leg 501 is always driven up, and in the next adjustment process in the Y-axis direction, the third leg 503 is driven up.

図14(d)は、第一脚部501が最も高い位置にある場合の、斜面に第一脚部501、第二脚部502及び第三脚部503が配置されている状態を示す模式図である。第一脚部501が最も高い位置にある場合、第一脚部501は駆動する必要はないので、第二脚部502と第三脚部503の何れが高いか否かに関わらず、最初のX軸方向の調整工程では必ず第二脚部502を上昇駆動し、次のY軸方向の調整工程では第三脚部503を上昇駆動することとなる。   FIG. 14D is a schematic diagram showing a state where the first leg portion 501, the second leg portion 502, and the third leg portion 503 are arranged on the slope when the first leg portion 501 is at the highest position. It is. When the first leg 501 is at the highest position, the first leg 501 does not need to be driven, so the first leg 501 does not need to be driven, regardless of which of the second leg 502 and the third leg 503 is high. In the adjustment process in the X-axis direction, the second leg 502 is always driven up, and in the next adjustment process in the Y-axis direction, the third leg 503 is driven up.

図11、図12及び図13に示した水平調整プログラムの処理は、駆動する脚部が二つだけであり、また同時に二つ以上のモータを駆動しないので、消費電力の点で有利である。   The processing of the horizontal adjustment program shown in FIGS. 11, 12, and 13 is advantageous in terms of power consumption because only two legs are driven and two or more motors are not driven at the same time.

上述の実施形態の他、以下のような応用例が考えられる。
(1)自動整準台101の制御部701は、電源を投入したら直ちに自動整準処理を遂行するように構成することで、起動スイッチを省略することができる。無人のガスメータ調整設備に利用する際、台車に湿式ガスメータ102を載せた自動整準台101を据え置き、調整ルームに搬入されたら、台車を通じて自動整準台101に電源を投入することで、調整ルームに人が入ることなく自動整準処理を遂行することができる。
In addition to the embodiment described above, the following application examples are conceivable.
(1) The control unit 701 of the automatic leveling table 101 is configured to perform the automatic leveling process immediately after the power is turned on, so that the start switch can be omitted.

Automatic leveling can be performed without human beings.

本実施形態では、自動整準台101を開示した。
第一脚体402、第二脚体403及び第三脚体404が半球状の接地面を有することで、据え置かれる箇所を傷つけ難く、且つ安定した姿勢を容易に保持できる。
また、第一脚部501、第二脚部502及び第三脚部503が水平センサ301のX軸方向及びY軸方向と一致して配置されているので、比較的簡素なアルゴリズムで自動整準処理を遂行できる。
In the present embodiment, the automatic leveling table 101 is disclosed.
Since the first leg body 402, the second leg body 403, and the third leg body 404 have a hemispherical grounding surface, it is difficult to damage a place where they are placed, and a stable posture can be easily maintained.
In addition, since the first leg portion 501, the second leg portion 502, and the third leg portion 503 are arranged to coincide with the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction of the horizontal sensor 301, automatic leveling is performed with a relatively simple algorithm. Can perform processing.
