<System configuration of remote control system>
FIG. 1 shows a first example of an unmanned traveling vehicle remote control system according to the present invention. As is clear from this figure, the remote control system of this example is based on the first and second consoles 2 and 3 connected via the LAN cable 1 and the control signal output from the first console 2. Communication for connecting the remotely operated wired unmanned vehicle 4, the wireless unmanned vehicle 5 remotely controlled by a control signal output from the second console 3, and the second console 3 and the wired unmanned vehicle 4 The wireless relay device 8 disposed between the cables 6 and 7, the communication cable 6 and the communication cable 7, the wireless communication device 9 connecting the wired unmanned vehicle 4 and the wireless unmanned vehicle 5, and the communication cable 6. Is mainly composed of a cable reel 10 wound with a wire. The wireless relay device 8 includes a parent device 8 a connected to one end of the communication cable 6 and a child device 8 b connected to one end of the communication cable 7. The wireless communication device 9 includes a parent device 9 a mounted on the wired unmanned traveling body 4 and a slave device 9 b mounted on the wireless unmanned traveling body 5. The wired unmanned vehicle 4 is remotely controlled by a control signal transmitted from the first console 2 via the communication cable 6, the wireless relay device 8 and the communication cable 7. The wireless unmanned vehicle 5 is remotely controlled by a control signal transmitted from the second console 3 via the communication cable 6, the wireless relay device 8, the communication cable 7, and the wireless communication device 9.

  Thus, when a part of the signal path connecting the first console 2 and the wired unmanned vehicle 4 and a part of the signal path connecting the second console 3 and the wireless unmanned vehicle 5 are wired, Since the signal can be stably transmitted in the portion, the distance between the first console 2 and the wired unmanned vehicle 4 and the distance between the second console 3 and the wireless unmanned vehicle 5 are totally included. Distance communication can be made stable. Further, since the wireless relay device 8 including the parent device 8a and the child device 8b is provided between the communication cable 6 and the communication cable 7, for example, an air lock AL installed in a nuclear power plant is used. The present system can be applied to a site having a part that cannot be directly wired by arranging the master unit 8a and the slave unit 8b of the wireless relay device 8 inside and outside the part.

  As the communication cables 6 and 7, a twisted pair cable or an optical fiber cable can be used. The twisted pair cable is formed by twisting two electric wires into a pair, and can suppress the influence of noise as compared with the case of using a parallel type electric wire. Moreover, when an optical fiber cable is used as the communication cables 6 and 7, the second console 3 and the wireless unmanned vehicle 5 are connected between the first console 2 and the wired unmanned vehicle 4, as compared with the case where an electric wire is used. The signal transmission speed between the two can be increased. In addition, it is not necessary to use the common thing as the communication cables 6 and 7, For example, an optical fiber cable can be used as the communication cable 6, and a twisted pair cable can be used as the communication cable 7, for example. The communication cable 6 is limited by the signal transmission method, and when the VDSL (Very High-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line) method described later is used, the maximum transmission distance is limited to about 500 to 800 m. On the other hand, the length of the communication cable 7 is limited by the weight that can be mounted on the wired unmanned vehicle 4. In this embodiment, a 500 m communication cable 7 is mounted.

  As a signal transmission system between the first console 2 and the wired unmanned traveling body 4 and between the second console 3 and the wireless unmanned traveling body 5, the VDSL system is suitable. VDSL is an asymmetrical speed type communication method that performs communication using a pair of signal cables. Signal transmission from the wired unmanned vehicle 4 to the first console 2 and transmission from the wireless unmanned vehicle 5 to the second console are performed. This is because transmission of a signal to 3 can be performed at high speed. Thus, by constructing a remote control system for the unmanned traveling bodies 4 and 5 using a combination of a twisted pair cable and VDSL, communication between the consoles 2 and 3 and the unmanned traveling bodies 4 and 5 can be performed stably and at high speed. Can be done.

  As the parent device 9a and the child device 9b of the wireless communication device 9, a wireless communication device for a wireless local area network (LAN) is used. Wireless LAN communication equipment is classified as a specific low-power radio station that is inexpensive, excellent in versatility, and not subject to radio wave laws and regulations. A wireless communication system with the body 5 can be easily constructed, and the usability can be improved.

  FIG. 2 shows a second example of the unmanned traveling vehicle remote control system according to the present invention. As is clear from this figure, the unmanned traveling vehicle remote control system of this example is characterized in that the wireless relay device 8 is omitted. The communication cable 6 and the communication cable 7 are connected via a repeater 11. About others, since it is the same as that of the unmanned traveling body remote control system according to the first example, the same reference numerals are assigned to the corresponding parts, and the description is omitted. The unmanned traveling vehicle remote control system of this example can be applied to a site that does not have a portion through which a communication cable cannot be directly passed, such as an air lock installed in a nuclear power plant. It can also be used for practice before being carried on site.

  FIG. 3 shows a third example of the unmanned traveling vehicle remote control system according to the present invention. As is clear from this figure, the unmanned traveling vehicle remote control system of this example is the same as the first example of the unmanned traveling vehicle remote control system, in which a wireless LAN 12 is provided between the second console 3 and the wireless unmanned vehicle 5. In addition, a communication switch 13 for switching the communication route between the second console 3 and the wireless unmanned vehicle 5 to the communication cables 6 and 7 side or the wireless LAN 12 side is provided on the second console 3 side. It is characterized by having. About others, since it is the same as that of the unmanned traveling body remote control system according to the first example, the same reference numerals are assigned to the corresponding parts, and the description is omitted. According to this configuration, by switching the communication changeover switch 13 to the wireless LAN 12 side, the wireless unmanned traveling body 5 can be directly traveled by a command from the second console 3 without going through the wired unmanned traveling body 4. Therefore, for example, it can be used for short-distance activities and operation training of a wireless unmanned vehicle in the field where it can be seen from the installation position of the control device, and the utility of the remote control system for unmanned vehicle can be improved. it can.

<Airframe configuration of unmanned vehicle>
Next, the airframe configuration of the wired unmanned traveling body 4 and the wireless unmanned traveling body 5 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 9. The wired unmanned vehicle 4 and the wireless unmanned vehicle 5 have the same basic structure.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 to 9, the body of the wired unmanned traveling body 4 and the wireless unmanned traveling body 5 includes a main body portion 21 formed in a box shape, a front left side, a front right side, a rear left side, and a rear side of the main body portion 21.

  The main body 21 is made of a metal material such as aluminum or a fiber reinforced plastic such as a glass fiber reinforced plastic or a carbon fiber reinforced plastic so that it can withstand severe operations. As shown in FIG. 5, the main body 21 includes a bottom plate 41, a front plate 42, a rear plate 43, left and right side plates 44 and 45, which are erected vertically from the bottom plate 41, and left and right side plates 44 and 45. The left and right upper panels 46 and 47 are provided on the outer portion, and the first to fourth traveling pulleys 22, 23, 24, and 25 are supported on the outer surfaces of the front plate 42 and the rear plate 43. Four sets of center frames 48 and side frames 49 are provided to project outward. When the main body portion 21 is formed using a metal material, these members 41 to 49 are desirably assembled using a joint structure composed of ants and dovetail grooves in order to increase the rigidity of the main body portion 21. Further, when the main body 21 is made of aluminum, it is desirable that the bottom surface of the bottom plate 41 is lined with a reinforcing plate made of glass fiber reinforced plastic or carbon fiber reinforced plastic.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a guide member 50 for guiding the first and second crawler belts 38 and 39 is provided on the lower surface of the bottom plate 41. A central portion of the guide member 50 is configured with a roller coupling body 51 in which a plurality of rollers are arranged in parallel. The roller coupling body 51 is disposed below the front and rear portions of the guide member. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, the first and second crawler belts 38, 39 are guided by the roller coupling body 51 and bend downward in the central portion of the main body portion 21. Thereby, since the ground contact area of the 1st and 2nd crawler belts 38 and 39 can be made small, the turning performance of the wired unmanned traveling body 4 and the wireless unmanned traveling body 5 can be improved.

  In the central space 52 of the main body 21, that is, in the space formed by the bottom plate 41, the front plate 42, the rear plate 43, the left and right side plates 44 and 45, and the lid body 36, the wired unmanned traveling body 4 and the wireless unmanned traveling body. A control circuit and a communication circuit necessary for remotely maneuvering the body 5 and sensors such as a gyro sensor, a voltmeter and a thermometer are housed. The output signals of the sensors are transmitted to the consoles 2 and 3. The gyro sensor is a device that measures the inclination of the main body 21, and is set on the bottom plate 41 at the center of the central space 52. Further, in the side space 53 of the main body 21, that is, in the space formed by the bottom plate 41, the front plate 42, the rear plate 43, the left and right side plates 44 and 45, and the top panels 46 and 47, the wired unmanned vehicle 4 And the battery pack etc. which are the power supplies of the radio | wireless unmanned traveling body 5 are accommodated. The top panels 46 and 47 are formed using a mesh board or a perforated board in order to ensure heat dissipation of the side space 53. On the other hand, the lid body 36 is formed of a highly rigid plate material such as an aluminum plate in order to increase the rigidity of the main body portion 21. A cover member for protecting the stored items can be attached to the open end of the side space 53.

  As shown in FIG. 7, an ant-shaped center bar 36 a is formed on the upper surface of the lid 36, so that a mounting base 37 having a ant groove-shaped connecting part 37 a can be detachably connected. . The lid 36 and the mounting base 37 are detachably fixed with screws (not shown). The lid 36 and the main body 21 are also detachably fixed with screws (not shown). Thus, if the cover body 36 is fixed to the upper surface of the main body portion 21 using screws, the confidentiality in the central space 52 can be improved, so that the protection effect of the control circuit and the like housed in the central space 52 can be increased. Can be increased.

  Of the first to fourth traveling pulleys 22, 23, 24, 25, the first and second traveling pulleys 22, 23 arranged on the front plate 42 side of the main body 21 are in-wheel motors 26, This is a driven pulley that does not incorporate 27. As shown in FIG. 5, the first and second traveling pulleys 22 and 23 are arranged on the outer surface of a rotating shaft 61 made of a metal cylindrical body with one metal pulley 62 and two rubber pulleys 63 and 64. Are fixed at a predetermined interval by means such as key fitting or press-fitting. With this configuration, the metal pulley 62 and the rubber pulleys 63 and 64 can be easily and firmly fixed to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 61.

  The metal pulley 62 mainly applies appropriate tension to the first and second crawler belts 38 and 39 and has a function of receiving the driving force of the first and second crawler belts 38 and 39. Therefore, on the outer peripheral surface of the metal pulley 62, as shown in FIG. 5, engagement protrusions 62a that are engaged with engagement teeth (not shown) formed on the inner surfaces of the crawler belts 38 and 39 are formed at a constant pitch. . On the other hand, the rubber pulleys 63 and 64 alleviate the impact force acting on the main body 21, prevent the crawler belts 38 and 39 from falling off, and between the traveling pulleys 22 and 23 and the crawler belts 38 and 39. It performs the function of discharging the sand mud and so on. Therefore, on the outer peripheral surfaces of the rubber pulleys 63 and 64, as shown in FIG. 5, engaging projections 63a and 64a meshed with engaging teeth (not shown) formed on the inner surfaces of the crawler belts 38 and 39 are fixed pitches. And concave grooves 63b and 64b for discharging sand mud and the like are formed.

Via the center frame 48 and the side frame 49 provided on the front plate 42 of the main body 21.

  On the other hand, the third and fourth pulleys 24 and 25 disposed on the rear plate 43 side of the main body 21 are driving pulleys that are rotationally driven by in-wheel motors 26 and 27. Since the third and fourth pulleys 24 and 25 are the same as the first and second pulleys 22 and 23 described above with respect to the basic structure, the same reference numerals are assigned to the corresponding portions in order to avoid duplication. A description thereof will be omitted. As shown in FIG. 8, in-wheel motors 26 and 27 are built in the rotating shafts 61 of the third and fourth pulleys 24 and 25 that are driving pulleys. The stators 26b and 27b of the in-wheel motors 26 and 27 are fixed to the center frame 48 of the main body 21, and the rotors 26c and 27c are connected to the end portions of the third and fourth traveling pulleys 24 and 25. Connected to the plate 65. Accordingly, the rotation of the in-wheel motors 26 and 27 is transmitted to the third and fourth traveling pulleys 24 and 25 via the connecting plate 65, and drives the first and second crawler belts 38 and 39, respectively. In addition, although the example using the inner rotor type in-wheel motor was shown in FIG. 8, an outer rotor type in-wheel motor can also be used.

  In the example of FIG. 5, as the first to fourth traveling pulleys 22, 23, 24, 25, one metal pulley 62 and two rubber pulleys 63, 64 are provided on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 61. Although what fixed by the predetermined space | interval was used, the summary of this invention is not limited to this, The thing of another structure can also be used. For example, it is possible to use one metal pulley having a width over the entire width of the crawler belts 38, 39, or one rubber pulley having a width over the entire width of the crawler belts 38, 39. Things can also be used.

  The first and second crawler belts 38 and 39 can be made of rubber or metal, but damage to the rubber pulleys 63 and 64 can be reduced, wear of the guide member 50 can be suppressed, and grounding can be performed. It is preferable to use a rubber belt because the pressure can be reduced and the protective effect of the main body 21 is high. In addition, the crawler belts 38 and 39 have a wide width because they can transmit a large driving force to the traveling road, are difficult to remove the wheel, and can easily hold the main body 21 stably even on bad roads. desirable. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, crawler belts 38 and 39 having a width that covers almost half of the main body 21 are used.

  As described above, the engagement protrusions 62a, 63a, 64a formed on the first to fourth traveling pulleys 22, 23, 24, 25 are formed on the inner surfaces of the first and second crawler belts 38, 39. Engaging engagement teeth are formed to prevent slippage between the traveling pulleys 22, 23, 24, 25. Accordingly, by counting the output signals of the encoders 26a and 27a incorporated in the in-wheel motors 26 and 27, the travel distances of the wired unmanned traveling body 4 and the wireless unmanned traveling body 5 can be accurately obtained. In addition, a stud (not shown) is formed on the outer surface of the sub crawler belt 78 to improve traveling performance on rough roads or slopes. Note that the traveling speeds of the wired unmanned traveling body 4 and the wireless unmanned traveling body 5 are such that a collision with an obstacle can be easily avoided, so that a failure can be avoided even when the obstacle collides with an obstacle. Furthermore, in order to obtain the required work efficiency, the walking speed on a flat good road is designed to be about 0.5 to 1.7 m / sec. The human walking speed is within 1.2 m / sec (about 4 km / h).

  The first to fourth sub-crawlers 28, 29, 30, and 31 are used as auxiliary power for the crawler belts 38 and 39 when traveling on rough roads and slopes. As shown in FIG. A first pulley 71 fixed to the rotors 32b, 33b, 34b, and 35b of the 32, 33, 34, and 35; a second pulley 73 that is rotatably attached to the tip of the support shaft 66 via a bearing 72; An endless power transmission belt 74 wound around the first and second pulleys 71, 73, a swing arm 75 having one end fixed to the second pulley 73, and a first fixed to the tip of the support shaft 66. 3 pulleys 76, a fourth pulley 77 rotatably attached to the tip of the swivel arm 75, and an endless sub crawler belt 78 wound around the third and fourth pulleys 76, 77. Constitution It is.

  The first to fourth electric motors 32, 33, 34, and 35 are fixed on the bottom plate 41 between the center frame 48 and the side frame 49, respectively. Engagement teeth (not shown) are formed on the outer peripheral surfaces of the first and second pulleys 71 and 73 and the inner surface of the power transmission belt 74 wound around the first and second pulleys 71 and 73. It is preventing. In addition, engagement teeth (not shown) are formed on the outer peripheral surfaces of the third and fourth pulleys 76 and 77 and the inner surface of the sub crawler belt 78 wound around the third and fourth pulleys 76 and 77 to prevent slippage between them. . Further, a stud (not shown) is formed on the outer surface of the sub crawler belt 78 to improve the traveling performance on a rough road or a slope. Therefore, the sub crawlers 28, 29, 30, 31 of this example can reliably transmit the driving force of the first to fourth electric motors 32, 33, 34, 35 to the road surface, and the crawler belts 38, 39 It is possible to allow the wired unmanned traveling body 4 and the wireless unmanned traveling body 5 to travel on a rough road or a slope road that cannot be traveled with only the driving force.

  When any one of the first to fourth electric motors 32, 33, 34, 35 is driven, the rotational force of the driven electric motor is turned through the first pulley 71, the power transmission belt 74, and the second pulley 73. 75, and the turning arm 75 turns about the support shaft 66 in the rotation direction of the driven electric motor by the rotation amount. Therefore, by individually controlling the driving of the first to fourth electric motors 32, 33, 34, and 35, the postures of the sub crawlers 28, 29, 30, and 31 with respect to the main body portion 21 can be changed as appropriate. . When the in-wheel motors 26 and 27 are rotated, the rotational force is transmitted to the sub crawler belt 78 via the support shaft 66 and the third pulley 76, and the sub crawler belt 78 is driven to rotate. Accordingly, by driving the first to fourth electric motors 32, 33, 34, and 35 and rotating the in-wheel motors 26 and 27 until the sub crawler belt 78 comes into contact with the travel path, wired on a bad road or a slope road. The unmanned traveling body 4 and the wireless unmanned traveling body 5 can stably travel. The rotation amounts of the first and second in-wheel motors 26 and 27 and the first to fourth electric motors 32, 33, 34, and 35 are detected by the built-in encoders 26a, 27a, 32a, 33a, 34a, and 35a. And output to the control consoles 2 and 3 described later.

  The traveling speed and turning speed of the wired unmanned traveling body 4 can be switched by operating the second and third push button switches 405 and 406. That is, when the first joystick 408 is tilted while the second pushbutton switch 405 is pressed, the wired amount when the tilt amount of the first joystick 408 is the same as when the second pushbutton switch 405 is not pressed. The traveling speed or turning speed of the unmanned traveling body 4 becomes low.

The impact force to be suppressed can be suppressed, and the safety of work can be improved. Further, when the first joystick 408 is tilted rightward or leftward while pressing the second pushbutton switch 405, the wired unmanned traveling body 4 can be turned at a low speed. Work such as changing the direction of the wired unmanned traveling body 4 can be performed safely.

  The fourth push button switch 407 is connected to the communication cable winding motor 87, and the communication cable 7 is wound around the cable drum 93 by pressing this switch.

Thus, the driving state of the first to fourth sub-crawlers 28, 29, 30, 31 is switched. The functions assigned to the pushbutton switches 414, 415, 416, and 417 are switched when the driving mode of the sub crawlers 28, 29, 30, and 31 is switched to the synchronous mode (Sync) and to the independent mode (Indiv). The following changes will be made. The drive mode can be switched by pressing the drive mode switch button 223c displayed on the drive control screen 210, or the ninth and tenth push button switches 414 and 415 can be operated as will be described later. Can also be done.

  That is, when the drive mode of the sub crawlers 28, 29, 30, and 31 is switched to the synchronization mode (Sync), the left push-back and the right rear of the main body 21 are performed by pressing the fifth push button switch 410. The third and fourth sub-crawlers 30 and 31 provided in the above are simultaneously raised, and by pressing the seventh push button switch 412, the third and fourth sub-crawlers 30 and 31 are simultaneously lowered.

  On the other hand, when the driving mode of the sub crawlers 28, 29, 30, and 31 is switched to the independent mode (Indiv), the fifth to eighth push button switches 410, 411, 412, and 413 are to be driven. The first to fourth sub-crawlers 28, 29, 30, and 31 are driven by a combination of the selection of the sub-crawler and the driving of the sub-crawler by the second joystick 409. That is, when the fifth pushbutton switch 410 is pressed, the first sub crawler 28 provided on the left front side of the main body 21 is selected, and when the second joystick 409 is tilted forward in this state, the first sub crawler 28 is selected. When the tip of the first sub crawler 28 is turned toward the front side of the main body 21 and tilted toward the front side, the front end of the first sub crawler 28 is turned toward the upper side of the main body 21. When the sixth pushbutton switch 411 is pressed, the second sub crawler 29 provided on the right front side of the main body 21 is selected. In this state, when the second joystick 409 is tilted forward, the second sub crawler 29 is selected. When the tip of the second sub-crawler 29 is tilted toward the front side of the main body 21 and tilted toward the front side, the tip of the second sub-crawler 29 is turned toward the upper side of the main body 21. Similarly, when the seventh pushbutton switch 416 is pressed, the third sub crawler 30 provided on the rear left side of the main body portion 21 is selected. In this state, when the second joystick 409 is tilted forward, the third sub crawler is selected. When the tip of 30 is turned toward the front of the main body 21 and tilted toward the front, the tip of the third sub crawler 30 is turned toward the upper side of the main body 21. When the eighth push button switch 413 is pressed, the fourth sub crawler 31 provided on the right rear side of the main body 21 is selected. In this state, when the second joystick 409 is tilted forward, the fourth sub crawler When the tip of 31 is turned toward the front of the main body 21 and tilted toward the front side, the tip of the fourth sub crawler 31 is turned toward the upper side of the main body 21.

  The ninth and tenth push button switches 414 and 415 arranged on the upper surface of the hand-held controller 205 are assigned to switch the driving mode of the sub crawlers 28, 29, 30, and 31 and to switch the forward and backward movement of the wired unmanned traveling body 4. . That is, when the ninth push button switch 414 is pressed while the drive mode of the sub crawlers 28, 29, 30, 31 is in the synchronous mode, the drive mode of the sub crawlers 28, 29, 30, 31 is switched to the independent mode. In addition, the traveling mode of the wired unmanned traveling body 4 becomes the forward traveling mode. Further, when the ninth push button switch 414 is pressed again in this state, the traveling mode of the wired unmanned traveling body 4 is switched to the backward traveling mode. On the other hand, when the tenth push button switch 415 is pressed while the drive mode of the sub crawlers 28, 29, 30, 31 is the independent mode, the drive mode of the sub crawlers 28, 29, 30, 31 is switched to the synchronous mode. In addition, the traveling mode of the wired unmanned traveling body 4 becomes the forward traveling mode. In addition, when the tenth push button switch 415 is pressed again in this state, the traveling mode of the wired unmanned traveling body 4 is switched to the backward traveling mode.

  When the traveling mode of the wired unmanned traveling body 4 is switched to the forward traveling mode, the captured image of the forward forward camera 85 is displayed on the front camera image display unit 211 of the drive control screen 210 displayed on the display device 202, and the rear The camera image display unit 212 displays an image captured by the camera 86 on the return path. In this case, as described above, by tilting the first joystick 408 provided in the handheld controller 205 forward, the wired unmanned vehicle 4 can be driven in the direction of the forward camera 85. By tilting to the near side, the wired unmanned traveling body 4 can travel in the direction of the camera 86 on the backward path.

  On the other hand, when the traveling mode of the wired unmanned traveling body 4 is switched to the backward traveling mode, the captured video of the backward traveling front camera 86 is displayed on the front camera image display unit 211 of the drive control screen 210 displayed on the display device 202. At the same time, a captured image of the forward camera 85 is displayed on the rear camera image display unit 212. Further, in this case, by tilting the first joystick 408 provided in the handheld controller 205 forward, the wired unmanned vehicle 4 can travel in the direction of the backward camera 86, and tilted toward the front side. By rolling, the wired unmanned traveling body 4 can travel in the direction of the forward camera 85. Such display switching of the display device 202 and function switching of the handheld controller 205 are executed in accordance with a program stored in the control device main body 201.

  Accordingly, the display content of the display device 202 and the operation content of the first handheld controller 205 in the forward travel mode can be shared with the display content of the display device 202 and the operation content of the first handheld controller 205 in the backward travel mode. Regardless of the travel mode of the unmanned traveling body 4, the wireless unmanned traveling body 4 can be remotely controlled with the same feeling, and the remote control performance of the wireless unmanned traveling body 4 can be improved.

  The second joystick 409 provided in the hand-held controller 205 is connected to the crane hoisting motor 83 and the crane turning motor 84. When the second joystick 409 is tilted forward, the tip of the crane arm 82 rises, and the front side The tip of the crane arm 82 descends when tilted to. When the second joystick 409 is tilted to the left, the tip of the crane arm 82 turns to the left, and when the second joystick 409 is tilted to the right, the tip of the crane arm 82 turns to the right. The crane arm 82 can be operated only when the driving mode of the sub crawlers 28, 29, 30, 31 is the synchronous mode.

  As for the hand-held controller 305 used for the driving operation of the wireless unmanned traveling body 5, each function is basically assigned in the same manner as the hand-held controller 205 used for the driving operation of the wired unmanned traveling body 4. As a function peculiar to the handheld controller 305, the cross key 403 is connected to the water level cable feeding mechanism 111 and / or the electric reel 131, and the front button of the cross key 403 is pressed to operate the water level cable 122 and / or the suspension. For example, the water level gauge cable 122 and / or the hanging thread 133 are fed out by winding the thread 133 and pressing the rear button of the cross key 403. Others are the same as the hand-held controller 205 used for the driving operation of the wired unmanned traveling body 4, and thus the description thereof is omitted to avoid duplication.

  As described above, the handheld controllers 205 and 305 of this example perform operations for returning the first to fourth sub-crawlers 28, 29, 30, and 31 to the home position and the first to fourth sub-crawlers 28, 29, and 30. , 31 can be operated except for the operation of extending to a flat position, so there is no need to use various operation devices separately, and drive control of the wired unmanned vehicle 4 and the wireless unmanned vehicle 5 can be easily performed. be able to. In addition, depending on the handheld controllers 205 and 305 of this example, an operation of returning the first to fourth sub-crawlers 28, 29, 30, and 31 to the home position, and the first to fourth sub-crawlers 28, 29, 30, and Since the operation of extending 31 to the flat position is disabled, the first to fourth sub crawlers 28, 29, 30, and 31 are mistakenly set to the home position or the flat position during the operation of the handheld controllers 205 and 305. The drive control of the wired unmanned traveling body 4 and the wireless unmanned traveling body 5 can be performed stably without being moved. That is, in the state where the first to fourth sub-crawlers 28, 29, 30, 31 are operated to the required postures for traveling on rough roads, the first to fourth sub-crawlers 28, 29, If 30 and 31 are suddenly moved to the home position or the flat position, there is a possibility that the wired unmanned traveling body 4 and the wireless unmanned traveling body 5 may fall over due to loss of balance. Therefore, as described above, depending on the handheld controllers 205 and 305, if the operation of moving the first to fourth sub-crawlers 28, 29, 30, and 31 to the home position or the flat position cannot be performed, the wired unmanned running The body 4 and the wireless unmanned traveling body 5 can be prevented from falling, and the wired unmanned traveling body 4 and the wireless unmanned traveling body 5 can be stably driven.

  In the embodiment, the push button switches provided in the handheld controllers 205 and 305 are operated to return the first to fourth sub crawlers 28, 29, 30, and 31 to the home position, and the first to fourth All functions except for the operation of extending the sub crawlers 28, 29, 30, 31 to the flat position are assigned, but the hand-held controller 205 applied to the remote control of the wired unmanned traveling body 4 will be described. In the operation of switching the travel mode to the forward travel mode or the backward travel mode, the push button switch may not be assigned. According to such a configuration, since the wired unmanned traveling body 4 does not travel in an unexpected direction due to an erroneous operation of the handheld controller 205, it is possible to prevent inconveniences such as disconnection of the communication cable.

  However, when a device such as assigning a function to the push button switch provided in the handheld controllers 205 and 305 is relatively difficult to operate, the first to fourth sub crawlers 28, 29, 30, and 31 are set to the home position. Of the operation of returning, the operation of extending the first to fourth sub-crawlers 28, 29, 30, 31 to the flat position, and the operation of switching the traveling mode of the wired unmanned traveling body 4 to the forward traveling mode or the backward traveling mode One or two can be assigned to push button switches provided in the handheld controllers 205 and 305. That is, if all the operations described above are removed from the assignment of the handheld controllers 205 and 305, erroneous operation of the unmanned traveling bodies 4 and 5 can be prevented and safety can be improved, but on the other hand, in order to perform these operations, This is because an operation of releasing the hand from the handheld controllers 205 and 305 to operate the touch panel 303 is required, so that the operability of the unmanned traveling bodies 4 and 5 deteriorates. The number of operations assigned to the handheld controllers 205 and 305 can be determined in consideration of the safety and operability of the unmanned traveling bodies 4 and 5.

<Operation method of wired unmanned vehicle 4 and wireless unmanned vehicle 5>
Hereinafter, the operation method of the wired unmanned traveling body 4 and the wireless unmanned traveling body 5 will be described by taking as an example the case where the wired unmanned traveling body 4 and the wireless unmanned traveling body 5 are operated in the airlock of the nuclear power plant.

  When the wired unmanned vehicle 4 and the wireless unmanned vehicle 5 are operated, the first and second consoles 2 and 3 are installed in a place where safety is ensured, as shown in FIG. The base unit 8a and the handset 8b of the wireless relay device 8 are installed outside and inside. The second console 3 is installed adjacent to the right side of the first console 2 as shown in FIG. Further, at the same time as or before and after the installation of the wireless relay device 8, one end of the communication cable 7 wound around the cable drum 93 is wirelessly connected to the wired unmanned vehicle 4 connected to the slave unit 8 b of the wireless relay device 8. The unmanned traveling body 5 is carried into the air lock AL. Next, the wired unmanned traveling body 4, the wireless unmanned traveling body 5, and the wireless relay device 8 are turned on, and between the parent device 8a and the child device 8b of the wireless relay device 8, and the parent device 9a and the child of the wireless communication device 9. The communication state between the machines 9b is confirmed. When the communication state is good, the air lock AL is closed.

  Thereafter, the operator of the wired unmanned vehicle 4 remotely controls the wired unmanned vehicle 4 using the first hand-held controller 205, and the operator of the wireless unmanned vehicle 5 uses the second hand-held controller 305 to perform wireless unmanned traveling. Remote control of the body 5 is performed. In this example, the wireless unmanned traveling body 5 is preceded by the wired unmanned traveling body 4 and the wireless unmanned traveling body 5 is traveled to a work area where the wired unmanned traveling body 4 cannot reach due to the restriction of the length of the communication cable 7. And collect various data.

  For this reason, first, the operator of the wireless unmanned vehicle 5 operates the ninth push button switch 414 provided in the second handheld controller 305 to switch the drive mode of the sub crawlers 28, 29, 30, 31 to the independent mode. The traveling mode of the wireless unmanned traveling body 5 is switched to the forward path mode. Next, the operator tilts the first joystick 408 forward and advances the wireless unmanned vehicle 5 at a required speed. Here, the second push button switch 405 is pressed when it is desired to run the wireless unmanned vehicle 5 at a low speed, and the third push button switch 406 is pressed when it is desired to be performed at a high speed. When the traveling direction of the wireless unmanned traveling body 5 is to be changed, the first joystick 408 is tilted to the left, right, or near side. As described above, the wireless unmanned vehicle 5 according to the embodiment includes the roller coupling body 51 at the center of the lower surface of the main body 21 and is excellent in turning performance. Therefore, a narrow passage in the airlock AL, a stair landing, The traveling direction of the wireless unmanned traveling body 5 can be easily changed. By appropriately performing such an operation, the wireless unmanned vehicle 5 can be moved along a predetermined route. The traveling state of the wireless unmanned traveling body 5 can be confirmed by viewing the drive control screen 310 displayed on the display device 302 of the second console 3.

  Next, the operator of the wired unmanned vehicle 4 operates the first hand-held controller 205 to advance the wired unmanned vehicle 4 before the wireless communication with the wireless unmanned vehicle 5 is interrupted. The operation of the first handheld controller 205 is also performed in the same manner as the operation of the second handheld controller 305 described above. The traveling state of the wired unmanned traveling body 4 can be confirmed by viewing the drive control screen 210 displayed on the display device 202 of the first console 2. Further, the operator of the wired unmanned traveling body 4 can confirm the traveling state of the wireless unmanned traveling body 5 by visually observing the drive control screen 310 displayed on the display device 302 of the second console 3. The operator of the traveling body 5 can confirm the traveling state of the wired unmanned traveling body 4 by viewing the drive control screen 210 displayed on the display device 202 of the first console 2. Thereby, it can be confirmed whether the wired unmanned traveling body 4 and the wireless unmanned traveling body 5 are traveling at appropriate intervals.

  Depending on the situation in the building, wireless communication between the wired unmanned vehicle 4 and the wireless unmanned vehicle 5 may occur even when the distance between the wired unmanned vehicle 4 and the wireless unmanned vehicle 5 is not so far. There is a possibility that remote control of the wireless unmanned vehicle 5 becomes impossible due to interruption. However, since the forward operation of the wired unmanned traveling body 4 is possible also in this case, the forward operation of the wired unmanned traveling body 4 is continued and the wired unmanned traveling body 4 is brought closer to the wireless unmanned traveling body 5. When the wireless communication between the wired unmanned traveling body 4 and the wireless unmanned traveling body 5 is restored, the wireless unmanned traveling body 5 can be remotely controlled again.

  When going up and down steep hills, such as when going up and down stairs, or when climbing over debris, such as climbing accumulated rubble, press the 9th pushbutton switch 414 or 10th pushbutton switch 415 provided on the handheld controllers 205 and 305. By operating, the drive mode of the first to fourth sub crawlers 28, 29, 30, 31 is switched to the independent mode or the synchronous mode. When the ninth pushbutton switch 414 is pressed, the drive mode of the first to fourth sub-crawlers 28, 29, 30, and 31 becomes the independent mode, and the first to fourth sub-crawlers 28, 29, 30, and Since each 31 can be individually driven so as to be in contact with the road surface, the wired unmanned traveling body 4 and the wireless unmanned traveling body 5 can easily travel on bad roads. When the tenth push button switch 415 is pressed, the driving mode of the first to fourth sub crawlers 28, 29, 30, and 31 is set to the synchronous mode, and the main body 21 according to the inclination angle of the inclined surface. The first and second sub-crawlers 28 and 29 disposed on the front side of the main body 21 and the third and fourth sub-crawlers 30 and 31 disposed on the rear side of the main body 21 are turned in the same direction by the same amount. Therefore, for example, the up and down scanning of the wired unmanned traveling body 4 and the wireless unmanned traveling body 5 with respect to the stairs can be easily performed.

  The current positions of the wired unmanned traveling body 4 and the wireless unmanned traveling body 5 can be determined based on the captured images of the cameras displayed on the display devices 202 and 302, and the first and second in-wheel motors 26 and 27 can be determined. The travel distance of the wired unmanned traveling body 4 and the wireless unmanned traveling body 5 calculated from the output signals of the attached encoders 26a and 27a, the diameter of the metal pulley 62 and the thickness of the crawler belts 38 and 39, and the encoders 26a and 27a It can also be obtained from the traveling directions of the wired unmanned traveling body 4 and the wireless unmanned traveling body 5 calculated from the output signal difference. If the design drawings of the building are available, the travel distance and direction of the wired unmanned vehicle 4 and wireless unmanned vehicle 5 obtained as described above should be compared with the design drawings of the building. It can also be judged by. Note that the current position of the wireless unmanned vehicle 5 can also be determined based on a three-dimensional image obtained from the output signal of the scanning three-dimensional distance measuring device 106.

  The captured images of the cameras mounted on the wired unmanned traveling body 4 and the wireless unmanned traveling body 5 are recorded in the USB memories 206 and 306 every predetermined time, for example, every 0.5 seconds. Therefore, after the USB memories 206 and 306 are collected, the recorded information in the USB memories 206 and 306 is reproduced along the time axis, so that the environment information along the traveling route of the wired unmanned traveling body 4 and the wireless unmanned traveling body 5 is obtained. Can be obtained. In particular, the USB memory 306 records an image of the situation inside the building and an image of the detection data of the radiation detector 116. By reproducing this, the travel of the wireless unmanned vehicle 5 is performed. Dose data along the route can also be obtained.

  The USB memory 306 also records two-dimensional distance data output from the scanning two-dimensional distance measuring device 105. As shown in FIG. 20, the two-dimensional distance data is obtained for each incident angle range 502 of the reflected light to the light receiving element corresponding to the scanning range of the laser light from the light source in the order 501 of the reflected light to the light receiving element. The distance data 503 calculated by the signal processing unit is sequentially recorded in units of millimeters. In the example of FIG. 20, the incident angle range 502 of the laser beam is divided into a large number of small angle ranges 502a, 502b, 502c, to 502n, and distance data for each of these small angle ranges 502a, 502b, 502c, to 502n. 503 is recorded. As described above, in this example, the two-dimensional distance data output from the scanning two-dimensional distance measuring device 105 is recorded in the USB memory 306 in a state of being linked in the incident order 501 of the reflected light to the light receiving element. Therefore, a three-dimensional image as shown in FIG. 13 is obtained by appropriately designating the incident order 501 and continuously reproducing.

  Further, the detection data of the scanning type two-dimensional distance measuring device 105 can be linked at the incident time of the reflected light to the light receiving element.
