On the contrary, when traveling left, the surrounding water pressure is detected by a pressure gauge (not shown) connected to the air tube 81b, and similarly, the rotational speed of the traveling wheel is adjusted and controlled to correct the traveling direction.
- the traveling direction is controlled by detecting the water depth at a position preceding the traveling wheels 21a and 21b.
- the water pressure is detected by the air tube 81a.
- the flaw detection vehicle 80 rotates in the CCW (counterclockwise) direction.
- the position of the air tube 81a rises, and the water pressure in the direction in which the vertical position of the flaw detection vehicle 80 is corrected is detected. That is, since the water pressure that is the state quantity after correction is detected so as to cancel the change in the water pressure that is the state quantity before correction, stable control can be performed.
- the flaw detection vehicle 80 when traveling in the right direction in FIG. 20 (a), if the water pressure is detected by the air tube 82a and controlled, the flaw detection vehicle 80 becomes CCW when the vertical position of the flaw detection vehicle 80 is lowered. Since it rotates in the (counterclockwise) direction to correct the vertical position, the position of the air tube 82a is further lowered. As a result, the water pressure in the direction opposite to the direction in which the vertical position of the flaw detection vehicle 80 is corrected is detected, which may be unstable as compared with the control based on the air tube 81a. That is, since the water pressure that is the state quantity after correction is detected in a direction that increases the change in the water pressure that is the state quantity before correction, the control becomes unstable.
- the inclination angle of the flaw detection vehicle 11 can be detected by comparing the water pressures of the air tube 81a and the air tube 82a. Therefore, it is possible to detect the deviation of the posture with higher accuracy and correct the traveling direction.
- the ninth embodiment described above it is possible to detect a running deviation even when the two distance measuring wheels are deviated in a direction perpendicular to the rotation direction, and since a deviation during running is detected without contact, flaw detection
- the traveling direction can be corrected without giving disturbance to the movement of the vehicle 11. Further, since the water direction at the position preceding the traveling wheels 21a and 21b is detected and the traveling direction is controlled, stable control is possible. Further, the inclination angle of the flaw detection vehicle 80 can be detected. As a result, the scanning accuracy of the inspection / inspection sensor 30 is improved, which contributes to improvement in accuracy of acquired data.
- the correction control based on the detection results of the air tubes 81a, 81b, 82a, 82b may be automatically performed by a control device (not shown) of the flaw detection vehicle 80. That is, the flaw detection vehicle 80 is controlled by, for example, a control device configured by a computer or dedicated hardware installed on the operation floor, and has a function of automatically correcting based on the detection result of each air tube in the control device. It can be mounted on the flaw detection vehicle 80.
- a flaw detection vehicle in which the inspection / inspection sensor 30 is fixed and other elements are added is shown.
- the signal multiplexing unit 50 of the second embodiment and the transport vehicle 52 of the third embodiment can be used in the fourth to eighth embodiments.
- the shroud in the boiling water reactor has been described as an application target.
- the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, application to a reactor tank of a pressurized water reactor is conceivable.
