As with the towers and tanks in the radiation/hungry shielding cells of the nuclear fuel factory in Xiaofanli and the inside of the reactor body of a nuclear fusion reactor, large openings are installed so that people can enter inside to inspect the internal state, In facilities where it is impossible to carry out any type of work due to spatial restrictions or safety-F restrictions such as areas with high radiation levels, human workers must remain on a safe slope and carry out the designated work. There is a strong desire to put into practical use a device that allows only machines to be isolated in the environment described above and to perform operations by remote control. For example, the first
A case will be described in which a debt issue H having many bent parts as shown in the figure is to be inspected. In order to facilitate explanation and understanding, we will use a two-dimensional space as an example.

The distance measuring device 16 has a circuit 414 as shown in FIG.
has been completed. This circuit is used for ultrasonic elements 191-19 (
The pulse oscillator generates pulses at predetermined intervals to the elements (including the element 19 installed at the front of the arm) at predetermined intervals, and this pulse oscillator generates ultraseven-wave pulses from the elements, and the generated ultrasonic pulses A receiver 22° to 22. which receives the pulse tube reflected from the obstacle 20. and,
The scan control circuits 2 and 3 control the operation order of these pulse oscillators and receivers, and the output signals of this scan control circuit 23 are used to start the signal, stop at output 1 of the receivers 22° and 22°, and Figure 6 is a flowchart specifically showing the method of controlling the apparatus of the present invention. It is a figure explaining the procedure of attracting the tip of the multi-jointed arm shown in . At that time, each control cycle and the position of the end of the multi-jointed arm and the joint (j7- is shown in Table 1 below 1° #', A counter 24 that measures time in+j, a register 25 that stores the data of this counter 24 and sequentially takes out and resets the contents of the counter, and a clock oscillator 26 that is connected to the above-mentioned column 24 and outputs a signal of a constant period. , and a frequency divider 27 that converts the clock signal of the clock oscillator 26 into a signal with a predetermined period necessary to sequentially operate the ultrasonic elements.The register 25 is a scan control circuit. It is configured to be controlled by a signal from 23, and serially outputs 28 the measured data from each element 19. to 19°.This output 28 is input to the i11'j machine 13. It performs the sum η, which will be described later.

A detailed explanation of the control of the apparatus of the present invention will be given below with reference to FIGS. 6, 7, and Table 1.

The driver first points the tip of the arm to P. Attract η) to the point. Assuming that the manual operation mode is selected at this time, the position can be easily determined by looking at the image from the television camera 3 at the tip and the obstacle profile on the side of the arm. The tip is P. Once the vehicle is positioned, it enters automatic operation mode. To make the explanation easier to understand, it is assumed that all the unit arm lengths 1 of the multi-jointed arms are equal and that they move forward or backward by the unit arm length in one control cycle.

At point Po, there is no obstacle in front of the tip of the arm, and the tip is in the center of the side obstacle profile, so it moves forward by l and reaches point 27, at which point P.

The point comes with 21 as shown in Table 1. At the Pt point, the susceptibility is P. Since it is the same as the point, it moves forward by l again and the tip reaches P/L. At this time P.

2I is P, 2. is coming. At point Pt, the arm tip is not located at the center of the side obstacle profile, so control is performed to correct this and the tip is moved to Pt by 41iE. Then move it forward by l in that direction.

By repeating the above control cycle, it is possible to take the arm and the preview camera to a location where the Q point can be easily inspected. From Table 1, it is clear that the force is similar to joint 2. ~2n is POr P1+ ”!t...
The control is very easy because the control is so good that it faithfully follows the point passed by the next joint in the order of Pi, with a delay of 4.1 control cycles. The limit value of the forward distance Xf is! It would be better to choose a slightly longer length, but the hot point of the lens of the TV camera 3? In some cases, it may be better to consider 11 distances, and it is necessary to allow setting from the outside. The limit value of the minimum lateral distance Min [X i ] is also the thickness of the arm, ls
Since it is necessary to consider the size of the space in which the crystal must be used, etc., it is desirable to be able to set it from the outside.

In reality, human judgment is required to advance from P to →P' or from PL to pH, but the driver must be familiar with the design by looking at the installation drawings before carrying out inspections and repairs. I'm going to put it out. In addition, since the work can be done while viewing the image of the television camera 3 on the monitor television J7, the burden on the driver can be kept to a small amount.

In addition, we took as an example the use as an inspection device with a TV camera attached to the front can of the multi-jointed arm, but if the tip is equipped with a torque wrench, magnetic chuck, etc. Work such as collection is also possible.

It is also possible to emit a light beam forward, use two cameras to record the spot on the obstacle created by the light beam, and automatically control the distance to the obstacle based on the toy difference between each image. .
