  • a hand for holding the working device of robot 1 has degrees of freedom 3 and 1 respectively in the rectilinear direction of travel of three rails 17 and in the direction in which working arm 16 is extended. Consequently, it is clear that the holding hand 16 can reach every coordinate 2 (r, 8) positioned on the surface of the tube plate. Furthermore, the holding handle 16, in addition to travelling along axes X and Y, can implement the work on the tube plate along the extremely simple and efficient transfer route 41 shown in this Figure since a transfer axis is used which especially suits the tube arrangement.
  • This transfer route may be decided such that, by drawing a circle 42 which corresponds to the central radius of the hand, a terminal end of each travel path constituting the travel route being taken as a center, graphics obtained by enveloping these circles may envelope all heat transfer tubes.
  • Figs. 15 and 16 show flow charts for the travelling and operation of a working robot according to the present embodiment, each block being described in greater detail as follows:

  • the transfer of the robot along the rail; the robot transfer action is implemented for moving the rail.
  • Heat transfer tubes are picked up which can be covered by the robot body being moved on the rail.
  • Travelling of robot body and rotation of working arm is selected so that power consumption may be minimized, the center of the working hand being aligned with said coordinates r, and 6 by moving the robot body and rotating the working arm.
  • the working robot used within the water chamber of a heat exchanger can be constructed with an extremely simple mechanism which needs a reduced degree of freedom of movement and which is economical as well.
  • Figs. 17A to 19 show further embodiments according to the present invention which, as compared with the ones shown in Figs. 8A to 10B, differ in the holding mechanisms used for holding the robot body and rail.
  • Fig. 17A shows an enlarged view of the drive unit 19 for driving the rail holding unit and Fig. 17B shows a side profile thereof.
  • Fig. 17 differs from the embodiment shown in Fig. 8 in that a pad 51 is provided at the end of the rod comprising hard rubber, or the like whose outer diameter is smaller than the inner diameter of heat transfer tube 25.
  • Fig. 18 is an explanatory view illustrating schematically the front view of the drive unit for driving the rail support unit wherein the support rod 22 can be moved not only in the perpendicular direction (in the longitudinal direction of the axis of the heat transfer tube) relative to the surface of a tube plate, but also parallel to the tube plate, i.e., in the direction in which the distance between support rods 22 and 22 can be increased or decreased.
  • the holding mechanism according to the present embodiment differs in the aforementioned step 3 from the embodiment shown previously.
  • step 3 the support rod 22, as shown in Fig. 19, is moved horizontally, as shown by a pair of arrows in Fig.

  • Fig. 20 is an enlarged view of the drive unit 19 for driving the rail support unit, which differs from Figs. 8 and 17 in that a pad comprising a holding band 61 and a band stiffener 62 is provided at the end of a rod. Moreover, an air pipe 63 and the electric cable 64 are connected to said pad.
  • the holding band is made of a plurality of configuration memorizing alloys which are formed at a high temperature in such a form as that shown in Fig. 21, the surface S being constructed in a columnar form.
  • Fig. 22 shows a cross sectional view of a pad under ordinary temperature conditions within which is provided a coiled spring 65, the band stiffener 62A being slidable relative to the support rod 22 and the stiffener 62B being fixed.
  • the holding band extends under the action of coiled spring 65 in the axial direction of support rod 22 so that the outer diameter thereof becomes smaller than the inner diameter of heat transfer tube 25.

(In Steps 1 and 2 the pad assumes the condition shown in Fig. 22 so that it can be fed into the interior of a heat tube); in Step 3 by feeding the current via the electric cable 64 to heat the pad, the latter is expanded as shown in Fig. 23 such as to be pressed forcibly against the interior of heat transfer tube 25. The air flows out via the air pipe 63 after the current is stopped such as to release the holding action and after the pad has been restored to the situation shown in Fig. 22, the support rod 22 is drawn out from the inner surface of heat conduction tube 25.
