本発明は、ガス漏れ検知装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a gas leak detection device.

特許文献1に記載されているように、ビル等の大型施設に設置された空気調和器では、冷媒を循環させる配管が各階の天井部を通過する等、配管の設置経路及び構造が複雑で、保守作業員等が容易にアクセスしにくい配管箇所が生じ易い。   As described in Patent Document 1, in an air conditioner installed in a large facility such as a building, the piping installation route and structure are complicated such that the piping for circulating the refrigerant passes through the ceiling of each floor, Piping locations that are difficult for maintenance workers to access easily tend to occur.

特開2010−19479号公報JP 2010-19479 A

空気調和器において経年劣化等により配管の接合部等で冷媒ガスが漏れることがある。また、冷媒ガスの漏れが生じると、空気調和器の熱変換効率が下がって性能が低下するので、より速く対処する必要がある。しかし、ガス漏れが、保守作業員等がアクセスしにくい配管箇所で生じると、ガス漏れ箇所を特定しにくく、ガス漏れに迅速に対応しにくい。   In an air conditioner, refrigerant gas may leak at the joints of pipes due to deterioration over time. Further, when the refrigerant gas leaks, the heat conversion efficiency of the air conditioner decreases and the performance deteriorates, so it is necessary to deal with it faster. However, if a gas leak occurs at a pipe location that is difficult for maintenance workers or the like to access, it is difficult to specify the gas leak location and it is difficult to respond quickly to the gas leak.

そこで、本発明の目的は、保守作業員等がアクセスしにくい配管箇所のガス漏れを特定し易いガス漏れ検知装置を提供することにある。   SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a gas leak detection device that can easily identify a gas leak at a pipe location that is difficult for a maintenance worker or the like to access.

本発明に係るガス漏れ検知装置は、ガス管の外側を、そのガス管の延在方向に沿うように移動可能なガス漏れ検知装置であって、前記ガス管の外周面の周方向に関して、前記外周面の半分以上の部分を前記ガス管の径方向に間隔をおいた状態で被覆するハウジングと、前記ハウジングに回動自在に取り付けられる1以上の車輪と、前記1以上の車輪を回転駆動させる車輪駆動部と、前記車輪の径方向が前記ガス管の径方向に略一致している状態で前記車輪を前記ガス管に押圧する押圧部材と、前記ガス管から漏れたガスを検知するガス検出部と、ガス漏れを報知するガス漏れ報知部と、前記ガス検出部が前記ガスを検出したことを表す検出信号に基づいて前記ガス漏れ報知部にガス漏れを報知させる制御部と、を備える。   The gas leak detection device according to the present invention is a gas leak detection device that can move outside the gas pipe along the extending direction of the gas pipe, with respect to the circumferential direction of the outer peripheral surface of the gas pipe. A housing that covers at least half of the outer peripheral surface with a gap in the radial direction of the gas pipe, one or more wheels rotatably attached to the housing, and the one or more wheels are driven to rotate. A wheel drive unit, a pressing member that presses the wheel against the gas pipe in a state where the radial direction of the wheel substantially matches the radial direction of the gas pipe, and gas detection that detects gas leaked from the gas pipe And a gas leak notifying unit for notifying the gas leak, and a control unit for notifying the gas leak notifying unit of the gas leak based on a detection signal indicating that the gas detecting unit has detected the gas.

本発明によれば、1以上の車輪がガス管を押圧している状態で、車輪を回転駆動することにより、ガス漏れ検知装置をガス管に沿うように移動させることができ、ガス漏れ検知装置の移動中にガス検出部がガスを検知すると、ガス漏れ報知部がガス漏れを報知する。したがって、保守作業員等の手が届きにくい狭いスペース等に配置された配管箇所でも、ガス漏れ検知装置をガス管に沿うように移動させるだけで、当該スペースにガス漏れ箇所が存在するか否かを容易に判定でき、保守作業員等がアクセスしにくい配管箇所のガス漏れを特定し易い。   According to the present invention, the gas leak detection device can be moved along the gas pipe by rotating the wheel while one or more wheels are pressing the gas pipe. When the gas detection unit detects gas during the movement of the gas, the gas leak notification unit reports the gas leak. Therefore, whether or not there is a gas leak point in the space even if the gas leak detector is moved along the gas pipe even in a pipe point located in a narrow space that is difficult for a maintenance worker to reach. Can easily be determined, and it is easy to identify gas leaks in piping locations that are difficult for maintenance workers to access.

また、本発明において、前記制御部は、前記検出信号を受けると、前記1以上の車輪へ動力を供給しないように前記車輪駆動部を制御してもよい。   In the present invention, when the control unit receives the detection signal, the control unit may control the wheel driving unit so as not to supply power to the one or more wheels.

上記構成によれば、ガス検出部がガスを検知すると、ガス漏れ検知装置が停止する。したがって、ガス漏れ検知装置をガス漏れ箇所の周辺に停止させることができ、ガス漏れ箇所を特定し易くなる。   According to the above configuration, when the gas detection unit detects gas, the gas leak detection device stops. Therefore, the gas leak detection device can be stopped around the gas leak location, and the gas leak location can be easily identified.

また、本発明において、蛍光塗料を吐出する塗料吐出部を備え、前記制御部が、前記検出信号を受けると、前記塗料吐出部に前記蛍光塗料を吐出させてもよい。   In the present invention, a paint discharge unit that discharges the fluorescent paint may be provided, and the control unit may cause the paint discharge unit to discharge the fluorescent paint when receiving the detection signal.

保守作業員等がアクセスしにくい箇所は、薄暗いことが多い。また、ガス漏れ箇所を発見した人とは別の人がガス漏れ箇所の補修等を行う場合がある。本構成によれば、ガス漏れ箇所の周辺に蛍光塗料を塗布できる。したがって、ガス漏れ箇所が薄暗い場合でもガス漏れ箇所を蛍光で光らせることができ、ガス漏れ箇所の特定や補修を行い易くなる。更には、ガス漏れ箇所を発見した人とは別の人がガス漏れ箇所の補修等を行う場合、補修等を行う人にガス漏れ箇所の位置を容易に説明できる。   Locations that are difficult for maintenance workers to access are often dim. In addition, a person other than the person who has found the gas leak point may repair the gas leak point. According to this configuration, the fluorescent paint can be applied around the gas leaking portion. Therefore, even when the gas leak location is dim, the gas leak location can be illuminated with fluorescence, and the gas leak location can be easily identified and repaired. Furthermore, when a person other than the person who has found the gas leak point repairs the gas leak point, the position of the gas leak point can be easily explained to the person who performs the repair or the like.

また、本発明において、前記ガス管に生じた孔を塞ぐことが可能な物質を吐出する孔塞ぎ物質吐出部を備え、前記制御部が、前記検出信号を受けると、前記孔塞ぎ物質吐出部に前記物質を吐出させてもよい。   Further, in the present invention, a pore closing substance discharge unit that discharges a substance capable of closing the hole formed in the gas pipe is provided, and when the control unit receives the detection signal, the hole closing substance discharge unit The substance may be discharged.

上記構成によれば、孔を塞ぐことが可能な物質をガス管に生じた孔の周辺に吐出でき、当該孔の一部又は全部を封鎖し易い。よって、ガス管に生じた孔を塞ぐ応急処理が可能になる。   According to the said structure, the substance which can block | close a hole can be discharged to the circumference | surroundings of the hole produced in the gas pipe, and it is easy to block a part or all of the said hole. Therefore, the emergency process which plugs the hole which arose in the gas pipe is attained.

また、本発明において、前記車輪の移動距離を表示する表示部を備えてもよい。   Moreover, in this invention, you may provide the display part which displays the movement distance of the said wheel.

上記構成によれば、ガス漏れ検知装置が移動した距離を把握できる。したがって、ガス漏れ箇所を正確に特定し易い。   According to the said structure, the distance which the gas leak detection apparatus moved can be grasped | ascertained. Therefore, it is easy to specify the gas leak location accurately.

また、本発明において、前記ガス検出部は、ガスの濃度を検出可能であり、前記制御部は、前記ガス検出部からの前記ガスの濃度を表す信号に基づいて前記ガスの濃度が極大となる地点をガス漏れ地点として特定してもよい。   In the present invention, the gas detection unit can detect a gas concentration, and the control unit has a maximum gas concentration based on a signal representing the gas concentration from the gas detection unit. A point may be specified as a gas leak point.

上記構成によれば、ガス漏れ箇所を正確に特定できる。   According to the said structure, a gas leak location can be pinpointed correctly.

本発明に係るガス漏れ検知装置によれば、保守作業員等がアクセスしにくい配管箇所のガス漏れを特定し易い。   According to the gas leak detection apparatus according to the present invention, it is easy to specify a gas leak at a pipe location that is difficult for a maintenance worker or the like to access.

以下に、本発明に係る実施の形態について添付図面を参照しながら詳細に説明する。なお、以下において複数の実施形態や変形例などが含まれる場合、それらの特徴部分を適宜に組み合わせて新たな実施形態を構築することは当初から想定されている。   Embodiments according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following, when a plurality of embodiments and modifications are included, it is assumed from the beginning that a new embodiment is constructed by appropriately combining those characteristic portions.

図1は、本発明の一実施形態に係るガス漏れ検知装置(以下、単に検知装置という)1を表す図であり、(a)は、ガス管50に取り付けられた検知装置1を、ガス管50の延在方向の一方側から見たときの模式平面図である。また、(b)は、検知装置1の押圧部材13の部分拡大断面図であり、(c)は、検知装置1に含まれるリモコン20の概要を説明する模式図である。   FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a gas leak detection device (hereinafter simply referred to as a detection device) 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 (a) shows a detection device 1 attached to a gas pipe 50 as a gas pipe. It is a model top view when it sees from one side of the extending direction of 50. Moreover, (b) is a partial enlarged cross-sectional view of the pressing member 13 of the detection device 1, and (c) is a schematic diagram for explaining the outline of the remote controller 20 included in the detection device 1.

図1に示すように、検知装置1は、ハウジング10、4つの車輪11、車輪駆動部の一例としての4つのモータ12、押圧部材13、ガスを検知するガス検出部14、ガス漏れ報知部の一例としての音出力装置15、リチウムイオン二次電池等の二次電池や乾電池等で構成される電力供給部16、蛍光塗料を吐出する塗料吐出部17、回転数検出部18、制御部19、及びリモートコントローラ(以下、単にリモコンという)20を備える。   As shown in FIG. 1, the detection device 1 includes a housing 10, four wheels 11, four motors 12 as an example of a wheel drive unit, a pressing member 13, a gas detection unit 14 that detects gas, and a gas leak notification unit. As an example, a sound output device 15, a power supply unit 16 composed of a secondary battery such as a lithium ion secondary battery, a dry cell, etc., a paint discharge unit 17 that discharges fluorescent paint, a rotation speed detection unit 18, a control unit 19, And a remote controller (hereinafter simply referred to as a remote controller) 20.

ハウジング10は、平面図において略C字状の形状を有し、円筒からその周方向の一部を切除したときに形成される形状を有する。ハウジング10は、形状記憶合金で一体成形される。各車輪11は、アルミ等の金属や樹脂で構成された環状のホイールと、ゴム製のタイヤ25を含む。ゴム製のタイヤ25は、ホイールの外周面に嵌め込まれる。また、環状のホイールの中央には、軸方向に延在する貫通孔が設けられる。   The housing 10 has a substantially C-shaped shape in a plan view, and has a shape formed when a part in the circumferential direction is cut from a cylinder. The housing 10 is integrally formed of a shape memory alloy. Each wheel 11 includes an annular wheel made of a metal such as aluminum or a resin, and a rubber tire 25. The rubber tire 25 is fitted into the outer peripheral surface of the wheel. A through hole extending in the axial direction is provided at the center of the annular wheel.

モータ12は、直流モータである。モータ12の出力軸12aはホイールの貫通孔に圧入等により固定され、車輪11はモータ12の動力により回動する。また、各モータ12は、押圧部材13によってハウジング10に対して一方向に付勢される。詳しくは、押圧部材13は、第1筒状部21、第2筒状部22、及びばね等で構成される付勢部材23を含む。第1筒状部21及び第2筒状部22は、例えば金属材料で構成される。第1筒状部21の一端部は、モータ12の外面に溶接や半田等により接合され、第2筒状部22の他端部は、ハウジング10の内面に溶接や半田等により接合される。   The motor 12 is a direct current motor. The output shaft 12a of the motor 12 is fixed to the through hole of the wheel by press fitting or the like, and the wheel 11 is rotated by the power of the motor 12. Each motor 12 is urged in one direction with respect to the housing 10 by the pressing member 13. Specifically, the pressing member 13 includes a biasing member 23 including a first cylindrical portion 21, a second cylindrical portion 22, and a spring. The 1st cylindrical part 21 and the 2nd cylindrical part 22 are comprised, for example with a metal material. One end portion of the first cylindrical portion 21 is joined to the outer surface of the motor 12 by welding or soldering, and the other end portion of the second cylindrical portion 22 is joined to the inner surface of the housing 10 by welding or soldering or the like.

図1(b)に示すように、第1筒状部21におけるモータ側とは反対側の端部には、径方向の内方に延びる環状のフランジ部21aが設けられ、第2筒状部22の軸方向の中央側の所定範囲には、大径部22aよりも外径が小さい小径部22bが設けられる。大径部22aと小径部22bとは、径方向に延在する段部22c,22dを介して接続される。小径部22bと2つの段部22c,22dとは、凹部22eを画定する。第1筒状部21の環状のフランジ部21aは、凹部22eに嵌入される。その結果、第2筒状部22に対する第1筒状部21の軸方向の相対移動は、フランジ部21aが段部22cに当接する位置と、フランジ部21aが段部22dに当接する位置との間に制限され、第1筒状部21が第2筒状部22に対して分離不可能になっている。   As shown in FIG. 1B, an annular flange portion 21a extending inward in the radial direction is provided at the end of the first tubular portion 21 opposite to the motor side, and the second tubular portion. A small-diameter portion 22b having an outer diameter smaller than that of the large-diameter portion 22a is provided in a predetermined range on the center side of the 22 in the axial direction. The large diameter portion 22a and the small diameter portion 22b are connected via step portions 22c and 22d extending in the radial direction. The small diameter portion 22b and the two step portions 22c and 22d define a recess 22e. The annular flange portion 21a of the first tubular portion 21 is fitted into the recess 22e. As a result, the relative movement in the axial direction of the first tubular portion 21 with respect to the second tubular portion 22 is between the position where the flange portion 21a abuts on the step portion 22c and the position where the flange portion 21a abuts on the step portion 22d. The first cylindrical portion 21 is not separable from the second cylindrical portion 22.

再度、図1(a)を参照して、付勢部材23は、第1及び第2筒状部21,22で構成される2重筒構造の内部に配置される。付勢部材23の一端部は、ハウジング10の内面に接合され、付勢部材23の他端部は、モータ12のケースの外面に接合される。第1及び第2筒状部21,22、及びモータ12のケースは、剛体であるので、形状記憶合金からなるハウジング10を変形させていない状態で、モータ12の出力軸12aの延在方向及び車輪11の径方向を所望の方向に一致させることができる。よって、車輪11のタイヤ25の径方向がガス管50の径方向の略一致している状態で、タイヤ25をガス管50に押し付けることが可能になる。   Referring to FIG. 1A again, the urging member 23 is disposed inside the double cylinder structure constituted by the first and second cylindrical portions 21 and 22. One end of the urging member 23 is joined to the inner surface of the housing 10, and the other end of the urging member 23 is joined to the outer surface of the case of the motor 12. Since the first and second cylindrical portions 21 and 22 and the case of the motor 12 are rigid bodies, the extending direction of the output shaft 12a of the motor 12 and the housing 10 made of a shape memory alloy are not deformed. The radial direction of the wheel 11 can be matched with a desired direction. Therefore, it is possible to press the tire 25 against the gas pipe 50 in a state where the radial direction of the tire 25 of the wheel 11 substantially matches the radial direction of the gas pipe 50.

なお、第2筒状部22が第1筒状部21に対して最も延びた状態において、付勢部材23が自然長になるようにしてもよく、圧縮された状態になるようにしてもよい。また、図1(a)に示す例では、検知装置1がガス管50に取り付けられた状態で、4つの車輪11がガス管50の外周面の周方向に等間隔で配置される。しかし、検知装置がガス管に取り付けられた状態で、2以上の車輪がガス管の外周面の周方向に間隔をおいた状態で配置されてもよく、車輪は1つのみであってもよい。ただし、車輪が3以上存在し、しかもガス管の外周面に等間隔に位置させるようにすると、3以上の車輪からの径方向の力をガス管に対して周方向に均等に付与できて好ましい。   In addition, in the state where the 2nd cylindrical part 22 extended most with respect to the 1st cylindrical part 21, you may make it the energizing member 23 become a natural length, or you may make it be in the compressed state. . In the example shown in FIG. 1A, the four wheels 11 are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the outer peripheral surface of the gas pipe 50 with the detection device 1 attached to the gas pipe 50. However, in a state where the detection device is attached to the gas pipe, two or more wheels may be arranged with a space in the circumferential direction of the outer peripheral surface of the gas pipe, and only one wheel may be provided. . However, it is preferable that there are three or more wheels, and that the force in the radial direction from the three or more wheels can be uniformly applied to the gas pipe in the circumferential direction if they are positioned at equal intervals on the outer peripheral surface of the gas pipe. .

また、図1(a)に示す例では、ガス管50の周方向に関し、ハウジング10がガス管50の外周面の3/4以上を覆っているが、ハウジングは、ガス管の周方向において、ガス管の半分以上を覆っていればよい。詳しくは、例えば、図1(a)において、ハウジングの周方向の長さを、80で示す箇所から81で示す箇所までとして、ハウジングでガス管50の外周面の半分程度を覆うようにし、車輪も90及び91で示す2つとしてもよい。   In the example shown in FIG. 1 (a), the housing 10 covers 3/4 or more of the outer peripheral surface of the gas pipe 50 with respect to the circumferential direction of the gas pipe 50. It only needs to cover more than half of the gas pipe. Specifically, for example, in FIG. 1 (a), the length of the housing in the circumferential direction is from a location indicated by 80 to a location indicated by 81, so that the housing covers about half of the outer peripheral surface of the gas pipe 50, and the wheel Also, the two shown by 90 and 91 may be used.

ガス検出部14は、既存のガス検出部で構成でき、フロンガス等の冷媒ガスの濃度を検出する。ガス検出部14は、ハウジング10の内面に取り付けられる。ガス検出部14の検出面14aがガス管50に径方向に対向するように配設されると好ましい。ガス検出部14は、冷媒ガスの濃度を表す信号を制御部19に出力する。   The gas detection part 14 can be comprised with the existing gas detection part, and detects the density | concentration of refrigerant gas, such as Freon gas. The gas detection unit 14 is attached to the inner surface of the housing 10. It is preferable that the detection surface 14a of the gas detection unit 14 is disposed so as to face the gas pipe 50 in the radial direction. The gas detection unit 14 outputs a signal representing the concentration of the refrigerant gas to the control unit 19.

音出力装置15は、例えば、アンプ内蔵の小型スピーカーを含み、制御部19からの制御信号で振動板を振動させて、警報音を出力する。また、塗料吐出部17は、ケース30、及び圧電素子31を含み、ケース30の側壁の一部はダイアフラム30bで構成される。ケース30は、ハウジング10の内面から径方向の内方側に延在し、ケース30内には、蛍光塗料39が充填される。ケース30の先端側には、ノズル30aが設けられ、ノズル30aは、ガス管50に径方向に対向する。   The sound output device 15 includes a small speaker with a built-in amplifier, for example, and vibrates the diaphragm with a control signal from the control unit 19 to output an alarm sound. The paint discharger 17 includes a case 30 and a piezoelectric element 31, and a part of the side wall of the case 30 is constituted by a diaphragm 30b. The case 30 extends radially inward from the inner surface of the housing 10, and the case 30 is filled with a fluorescent paint 39. A nozzle 30 a is provided on the distal end side of the case 30, and the nozzle 30 a faces the gas pipe 50 in the radial direction.

圧電素子31は、ダイアフラム30bの外面に固定される。制御部19が、圧電素子31に電力を供給する制御を行うと、圧電素子31が変位することに伴ってダイアフラム30bがケース30の容積を小さくするように変位し、ケース30内の蛍光塗料39がノズル30aからガス管50に吐出される。なお、ハウジング10には、ケース30の内部と外部とを連通する塗料充填通路10aと、塗料充填通路10aの外側開口を開閉するキャップ10bとが設けられる。キャップ10bは、塗料充填通路10aの外部側に設けられた雌ねじに螺合することでハウジング10に固定され、塗料充填通路10aの外側開口を封鎖する。キャップ10bを外した後の開口を介して検知装置1の外側からケース30内に蛍光塗料39を充填するようになっている。   The piezoelectric element 31 is fixed to the outer surface of the diaphragm 30b. When the control unit 19 performs control to supply power to the piezoelectric element 31, the diaphragm 30 b is displaced so as to reduce the volume of the case 30 as the piezoelectric element 31 is displaced, and the fluorescent paint 39 in the case 30. Is discharged from the nozzle 30a to the gas pipe 50. The housing 10 is provided with a paint filling passage 10a that communicates the inside and the outside of the case 30 and a cap 10b that opens and closes the outer opening of the paint filling passage 10a. The cap 10b is fixed to the housing 10 by being screwed into a female screw provided on the outside of the paint filling passage 10a, and seals the outer opening of the paint filling passage 10a. The fluorescent paint 39 is filled into the case 30 from the outside of the detection device 1 through the opening after the cap 10b is removed.

図1(c)に示すように、リモコン20は、操作部20a〜20cと、表示部20dを含む。保守作業員等は、操作部20aの操作によって各モータ12を一方側に回動させる信号を無線で制御部19に出力でき、操作部20bの操作によって各モータ12を他方側に回動させる信号を無線で制御部19に出力できる。また、保守作業員等は、操作部20cの操作によって各モータ12を停止させる信号を無線で制御部19に出力できる。   As shown in FIG. 1C, the remote controller 20 includes operation units 20a to 20c and a display unit 20d. A maintenance worker or the like can wirelessly output a signal for rotating each motor 12 to one side by operating the operation unit 20a to the control unit 19, and a signal for rotating each motor 12 to the other side by operating the operation unit 20b. Can be output to the control unit 19 wirelessly. In addition, a maintenance worker or the like can wirelessly output a signal for stopping each motor 12 to the control unit 19 by operating the operation unit 20c.

再度、図1(a)を参照して、回転数検出部18は、モータ12の出力軸12aの回転数を検出し、当該回転数を表す信号を制御部19に出力する。制御部19は、当該回転数とタイヤ25の外周面の長さに基づいて検知装置1が移動した距離を算出し、当該距離を無線で表示部20dに表示させる。   Referring to FIG. 1A again, the rotation speed detection unit 18 detects the rotation speed of the output shaft 12 a of the motor 12 and outputs a signal representing the rotation speed to the control unit 19. The control unit 19 calculates the distance traveled by the detection device 1 based on the rotation speed and the length of the outer peripheral surface of the tire 25, and causes the display unit 20d to display the distance wirelessly.

図2は、検知装置1の制御ブロック図である。図2に示すように、制御部19には、リモコン20の操作部20a〜20cから無線で信号が入力され、ガス検出部14及び回転数検出部18からも信号が入力される。また、制御部19は、入力信号に基づいて、圧電素子31、モータ12、音出力装置15、及び表示部20dを制御する。   FIG. 2 is a control block diagram of the detection apparatus 1. As shown in FIG. 2, signals are input to the control unit 19 wirelessly from the operation units 20 a to 20 c of the remote controller 20, and signals are also input from the gas detection unit 14 and the rotation speed detection unit 18. The control unit 19 controls the piezoelectric element 31, the motor 12, the sound output device 15, and the display unit 20d based on the input signal.

制御部19は、CPU(Central Processing Unit)と、RAM(Random Access Memory)、ROM(Read Only Memory)等の記憶部とを備える。CPUは、記憶部に予め記憶されたプログラム等を読み出して実行する機能を有する。RAMは、読み出したプログラムや処理データを一時的に記憶する機能を有する。また、ROMは、制御プロラムや所定の閾値等を予め記憶する機能を有する。制御部19は、マイクロコンピュータによって実行されるソフトウエアによって実現できるが、その一部がハードウエアによって構成されてもよい。制御部19の具体的な制御については、後で図4等を用いて詳述する。   The control unit 19 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and a storage unit such as a RAM (Random Access Memory) and a ROM (Read Only Memory). The CPU has a function of reading and executing a program or the like stored in advance in the storage unit. The RAM has a function of temporarily storing the read program and processing data. Further, the ROM has a function of previously storing a control program, a predetermined threshold value, and the like. The control unit 19 can be realized by software executed by a microcomputer, but a part thereof may be configured by hardware. Specific control of the control unit 19 will be described in detail later with reference to FIG.

次に、検知装置1のガス漏れ箇所の特定方法について説明する。上述のように、ガス検出部14はガス濃度を検知できる。ここで、ガス濃度は、図3に示すように、配管の延在方向(検知装置1の移動方向)に関して、ガス漏れ箇所a1で最も高くなり、ガス漏れ箇所a1から離れるにつれて徐々に低くなる。すなわち、ガス濃度は、ガス漏れ箇所a1で最も高くなり極大になる。制御部19は、ガス検出部14からのガス濃度を表す信号に基づいてガス濃度の極大箇所を特定し、その極大箇所をガス漏れ地点として特定する。制御部19は、例えば、初めてガス濃度が下がった地点をガス漏れ地点と特定してもよい。   Next, a method for identifying a gas leak location of the detection device 1 will be described. As described above, the gas detection unit 14 can detect the gas concentration. Here, as shown in FIG. 3, the gas concentration is highest at the gas leakage point a1 with respect to the extending direction of the pipe (the moving direction of the detection device 1), and gradually decreases with distance from the gas leakage point a1. That is, the gas concentration is highest and maximizes at the gas leakage point a1. The control unit 19 specifies the maximum point of the gas concentration based on the signal representing the gas concentration from the gas detection unit 14, and specifies the maximum point as the gas leakage point. For example, the control unit 19 may identify a point where the gas concentration has decreased for the first time as a gas leak point.

図4は、検知装置1の動作手順の一例を示すフローチャートである。次に、検知装置1の動作の一例について、図4を用いて説明する。   FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an example of an operation procedure of the detection device 1. Next, an example of operation | movement of the detection apparatus 1 is demonstrated using FIG.

ガスの検知を行う際には、先ず、保守作業員等が、検知装置1の形状記憶合金製のハウジング10の間隙26(図1(a)参照)を押し広げるようにして、ガス管50を、間隙26を通過させて、検知装置1の4つの車輪11にガス管50の外周面を押圧させ、検知装置1をガス管50の外周面に取り付ける。   When performing gas detection, first, a maintenance worker or the like pushes the gas pipe 50 in such a manner that the gap 26 (see FIG. 1A) of the shape memory alloy housing 10 of the detection device 1 is expanded. Then, through the gap 26, the four wheels 11 of the detection device 1 are pressed against the outer peripheral surface of the gas pipe 50, and the detection device 1 is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the gas pipe 50.

そして、その後、保守作業員等が、リモコン20の操作部20aを操作すると、制御部19が、各モータ12の出力軸12aを一方向に回動させて、検知装置1がガス管50に沿うように一方向に移動すると共に、電力がガス検出部14に供給されてガス検出部14のガス検知が開始する。   Thereafter, when a maintenance worker or the like operates the operation unit 20 a of the remote controller 20, the control unit 19 rotates the output shaft 12 a of each motor 12 in one direction, and the detection device 1 follows the gas pipe 50. As described above, the electric power is supplied to the gas detection unit 14 and the gas detection of the gas detection unit 14 is started.

検知装置1の移動及びガス検出部14のガス検知がスタートすると、ステップS1で、制御部19が、ガス検出部14がガスを検出したか否かを判定する。ステップS1で否定判定されると、ステップS2に移行する。ステップS2では、回転数検出部18からの信号に基づいて、制御部19が、検知装置1がそれ以上移動できない箇所に到達したか否かを判定する。   When the movement of the detection device 1 and the gas detection of the gas detection unit 14 are started, in step S1, the control unit 19 determines whether the gas detection unit 14 has detected a gas. If a negative determination is made in step S1, the process proceeds to step S2. In step S <b> 2, based on the signal from the rotation speed detection unit 18, the control unit 19 determines whether or not the detection device 1 has reached a position where it cannot move any more.

言い換えれば、ステップS2では、制御部19は、回転数検出部18からの信号に基づいて検知装置1が止まっているか否かを判定する。ガス管50では、一般的に、径が大きなフロア等が配管の継ぎ目に用いられる。したがって、検知装置1はフロア等に到達すると、前方への更なる移動が不可能になる。ステップS2では、回転数検出部18からの信号に基づいて、検知装置1が、径が大きなフロア等まで到達し、前方への更なる移動が不可能になったか否かを判定する。ステップS2で肯定判定されて、検知装置1がそれ以上移動できない箇所に到達したと判定されると、動作がエンドになる。他方、ステップS2で否定判定されて、検知装置1が前方に移動可能であると判定されると、ステップS1以下が繰り返される。   In other words, in step S <b> 2, the control unit 19 determines whether or not the detection device 1 is stopped based on the signal from the rotation speed detection unit 18. In the gas pipe 50, a floor having a large diameter is generally used at the joint of the pipe. Accordingly, when the detection device 1 reaches the floor or the like, it cannot be moved further forward. In step S <b> 2, based on the signal from the rotation speed detection unit 18, the detection device 1 determines whether or not it has reached a floor or the like having a large diameter and cannot be moved further forward. If an affirmative determination is made in step S2 and it is determined that the detection device 1 has reached a position where it cannot move any more, the operation is ended. On the other hand, if a negative determination is made in step S2 and it is determined that the detection apparatus 1 can move forward, steps S1 and after are repeated.

他方、ステップS1で肯定判定されて、ガス検出部14がガスを検出したと判定されると、ステップS3に移行する。ステップS3では、制御部19が、各モータ12に電力供給部16からの電力を供給するモータ用電力供給回路内のスイッチング素子をオフ制御する。このようにして、各モータ12に電力が供給されないようし、検知装置1の移動を停止させる。   On the other hand, if an affirmative determination is made in step S1 and it is determined that the gas detection unit 14 has detected a gas, the process proceeds to step S3. In step S <b> 3, the control unit 19 turns off the switching elements in the motor power supply circuit that supplies the electric power from the power supply unit 16 to each motor 12. In this way, power is not supplied to each motor 12 and the movement of the detection device 1 is stopped.

ステップS3が終わると、ステップS4に移行する。ステップS4では、制御部19が、電力供給部16から音出力装置15に電力を供給する音出力装置用電力供給回路内のスイッチング素子をオン制御して、音出力装置15に電力を供給し、音出力装置15に警報音を出力させる。   When step S3 ends, the process proceeds to step S4. In step S4, the control unit 19 turns on the switching element in the power supply circuit for the sound output device that supplies power from the power supply unit 16 to the sound output device 15, and supplies power to the sound output device 15. The sound output device 15 is made to output an alarm sound.

ステップS4が終わると、ステップS5に移行する。ステップS5では、制御部19が、電力供給部16から圧電素子31に電力を供給する圧電素子用電力供給回路内のスイッチング素子をオン制御して、圧電素子31に電力を供給し、圧電素子31を変位させる。この変位により、ダイアフラム30bがケース内側に変位し、蛍光塗料が塗料吐出部17のノズル30aからガス管50に向けて吐出される。ステップS5が終わると、動作がエンドになる。   When step S4 ends, the process proceeds to step S5. In step S <b> 5, the control unit 19 turns on the switching element in the piezoelectric element power supply circuit that supplies power from the power supply unit 16 to the piezoelectric element 31 to supply power to the piezoelectric element 31. Is displaced. Due to this displacement, the diaphragm 30 b is displaced to the inside of the case, and the fluorescent paint is discharged from the nozzle 30 a of the paint discharge unit 17 toward the gas pipe 50. When step S5 ends, the operation ends.

なお、検知装置1が移動すると、制御部19が検知装置1の移動距離を無線で表示部20dに表示させる。また、保守作業員等は、リモコン20の操作部20bを操作することで、各モータ12を逆回転させることができる。その結果、保守作業員等は、検知装置1を後退するように移動させることができ、検知装置1をアクセスしにくい箇所から容易に取り出すことができる。   When the detection device 1 moves, the control unit 19 causes the display unit 20d to wirelessly display the movement distance of the detection device 1. Also, a maintenance worker or the like can reversely rotate each motor 12 by operating the operation unit 20b of the remote controller 20. As a result, a maintenance worker or the like can move the detection device 1 so as to move backward, and can easily take out the detection device 1 from a location that is difficult to access.

上記実施形態によれば、1以上の車輪11がガス管50を押圧している状態で、車輪11を回転駆動することにより、検知装置1をガス管に沿うように移動させることができ、検知装置1の移動中にガス検出部14がガスを検知すると、音出力装置15が警報音を出力する。したがって、保守作業員等の手が届きにくい狭いスペースに配置された配管箇所でも、検知装置1をガス管に沿うように移動させるだけで、当該スペースにガス漏れ箇所が存在するか否かを判定でき、保守作業員等がアクセスしにくい配管箇所のガス漏れを特定し易い。   According to the above embodiment, the detection device 1 can be moved along the gas pipe by rotating the wheel 11 in a state where the one or more wheels 11 are pressing the gas pipe 50. When the gas detector 14 detects gas while the device 1 is moving, the sound output device 15 outputs an alarm sound. Therefore, even in a piping place arranged in a narrow space that is difficult for a maintenance worker or the like to reach, it is determined whether or not there is a gas leaking place in the space just by moving the detection device 1 along the gas pipe. It is possible to easily identify a gas leak at a pipe location that is difficult for maintenance workers to access.

また、ガス検出部14がガス管50から漏れたガスを検知すると、検知装置1が停止する。したがって、検知装置1をガス漏れ箇所の周辺に停止させることができ、ガス漏れ箇所を特定し易くなる。   Moreover, when the gas detection part 14 detects the gas which leaked from the gas pipe 50, the detection apparatus 1 will stop. Therefore, the detection apparatus 1 can be stopped around the gas leak location, and the gas leak location can be easily identified.

また、保守作業員等がアクセスしにくい箇所は、薄暗いことが多い。更には、ガス漏れ箇所を発見した人とは別の人がガス漏れ箇所の補修等を行う場合がある。上記実施形態によれば、ガス漏れ箇所の周辺に蛍光塗料を塗布できる。したがって、ガス漏れ箇所が薄暗い場合でもガス漏れ箇所を蛍光で光らせることができ、ガス漏れ箇所の特定や補修を行い易い。更には、ガス漏れ箇所を発見した人とは別の人がガス漏れ箇所の補修等を行う場合、補修等を行う人にガス漏れ箇所の位置を容易に説明できる。   In addition, portions that are difficult for maintenance workers to access are often dim. Furthermore, a person different from the person who has found the gas leak point may repair the gas leak point. According to the said embodiment, a fluorescent paint can be apply | coated around a gas leak location. Therefore, even when the gas leak location is dim, the gas leak location can be illuminated with fluorescence, and it is easy to identify and repair the gas leak location. Furthermore, when a person other than the person who has found the gas leak point repairs the gas leak point, the position of the gas leak point can be easily explained to the person who performs the repair or the like.

また、車輪11の移動距離を表示する表示部20dを有するので、保守作業員等がガス漏れ箇所を正確に特定し易くなる。更には、制御部19が、ガス検出部14からのガス濃度を表す信号に基づいてガス濃度が極大となる地点をガス漏れ地点として特定するので、ガス漏れ箇所を正確に特定できる。   Moreover, since it has the display part 20d which displays the moving distance of the wheel 11, it becomes easy for a maintenance worker etc. to pinpoint a gas leak location correctly. Furthermore, since the control part 19 specifies the point where gas concentration becomes the maximum as a gas leak point based on the signal showing the gas concentration from the gas detection part 14, a gas leak point can be specified correctly.

尚、本発明は、上記実施形態およびその変形例に限定されるものではなく、本願の特許請求の範囲に記載された事項およびその均等な範囲において種々の改良や変更が可能である。   The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment and its modifications, and various improvements and modifications can be made within the matters described in the claims of the present application and their equivalent ranges.

例えば、上記実施形態では、ガス検出部14がガスを検出すると、制御部19が音出力装置15に警報音を出力される場合について説明した。しかし、ガス検出部がガスを検出すると、制御部は、音出力装置に警報音を出力させる替わりに発光部に光を出射させることでガス漏れの報知を行ってもよく、音出力装置に警報音を出力させるのに加えて発光部に光を出射させることでガス漏れの報知を行ってもよい。   For example, in the above embodiment, the case where the control unit 19 outputs an alarm sound to the sound output device 15 when the gas detection unit 14 detects gas has been described. However, when the gas detection unit detects gas, the control unit may notify the gas leakage by emitting light to the light emitting unit instead of outputting the alarm sound to the sound output device. In addition to outputting sound, the light leakage may be notified by emitting light to the light emitting unit.

また、ガス検出部14がガスを検出すると、制御部19が、検知装置1を停止させた上で、塗料吐出部17からガス管50に蛍光塗料を吐出する場合について説明した。しかし、検知装置が、ガス管に生じた孔を塞ぐことが可能な物質、例えば、接着剤や、ヒータ等で熱せられて流動性を有する樹脂剤等を吐出する孔塞ぎ物質吐出部を備え、ガス検出部がガスを検出すると、制御部が、孔塞ぎ物質吐出部に上記物質を吐出させてもよい。このようにして、ガス管に生じた孔の少なくとも一部を塞ぐための応急処理が可能になるようにしてもよい。   Moreover, when the gas detection part 14 detected gas, after the control part 19 stopped the detection apparatus 1, the case where fluorescent paint was discharged to the gas pipe 50 from the paint discharge part 17 was demonstrated. However, the detection apparatus includes a substance capable of closing the hole formed in the gas pipe, for example, a hole closing substance discharging unit that discharges a fluid resin that is heated by an adhesive, a heater, or the like, When the gas detection unit detects gas, the control unit may cause the pore closing material discharge unit to discharge the substance. In this way, an emergency process for closing at least a part of the hole formed in the gas pipe may be made possible.

また、制御部19が、ガス濃度が極大になった箇所をガス漏れ箇所と特定する場合について説明した。しかし、制御部は、検知装置が前方に行くことができなくなった箇所(フレア等の存在箇所)に近づくにしたがってガス濃度が徐々に高くなった場合、その前方に行くことができなくなった箇所にガス漏れ箇所が存在すると判定してもよい。   Moreover, the case where the control part 19 specified the location where gas concentration became the maximum as a gas leak location was demonstrated. However, if the gas concentration gradually increases as it approaches the location where the detection device can no longer go forward (location where flares, etc.), the control section You may determine with a gas leak location.

又は、制御部は、ガス検出部が初めてガスを検出した箇所をガス漏れ箇所と特定してもよく、その箇所で検知装置を停止させ、その箇所で報知部にガス漏れを報知させてもよい。なお、この場合、ガス検出部は、ガスの濃度を検出できなくてもよく、ガスの存在の有無のみを検出できる構成でもよい。   Alternatively, the control unit may specify a location where the gas detection unit has detected gas for the first time as a gas leakage location, stop the detection device at that location, and cause the notification unit to notify the gas leakage at that location. . In this case, the gas detection unit may not be able to detect the gas concentration, and may be configured to detect only the presence or absence of the gas.

また、車輪駆動部がモータ12である場合について説明した。しかし、車両駆動部は、一端部がハウジングに固定されたゼンマイバネと、そのゼンマイバネの他端部に一端部が取り付けられた紐とを含んでもよい。そして、紐を引っ張ることにより、ゼンマイバネを伸ばして、ゼンマイバネの復元力で車輪を回動させる構成でもよく、更には、検知装置のガス検出の終了後に紐を手繰り寄せることで、検知装置を回収してもよい。   Further, the case where the wheel drive unit is the motor 12 has been described. However, the vehicle drive unit may include a spring having one end fixed to the housing and a string having one end attached to the other end of the spring. Then, the spring may be extended by pulling the string, and the wheel may be rotated by the restoring force of the spring. May be.

また、ハウジング10を変形自在な形状記憶合金で構成して、間隙26を広げるようにハウジング10を変形させて、検知装置1をガス管50に取り付ける場合について説明した。しかし、ハウジングは、洗濯バサミ又は手錠と同じ構造で、環状構造と、非環状構造とを選択できる構成でもよい。そして、検知装置をガス管に取り付ける際には、ハウジングを非環状構造にして、非環状構造の開口を、ガス管を通過させた後、ハウジングを環状構造にしてもよい。このようにして、検知装置をガス管に取り付けた状態で、ハウジングがガス管の全周を取り囲むようにしてもよい。   Further, the case where the housing 10 is made of a deformable shape memory alloy, the housing 10 is deformed so as to widen the gap 26, and the detection device 1 is attached to the gas pipe 50 has been described. However, the housing may have the same structure as the clothespins or handcuffs, and can be configured to select an annular structure or a non-annular structure. And when attaching a detection apparatus to a gas pipe, after making a housing into a non-annular structure and letting an opening of a non-annular structure pass a gas pipe, a housing may be made into a ring structure. In this manner, the housing may surround the entire circumference of the gas pipe with the detection device attached to the gas pipe.

また、検知装置1が、塗料吐出部17を備える場合について説明したが、検知装置は、塗料吐出部を備えなくてもよい。また、検知装置1が、検知装置1の移動距離を表示する表示部20dを備える場合について説明したが、検知装置は、表示部を備えなくてもよい。また、ガスが、空気調和器の冷媒ガスである場合について説明したが、ガスは、都市ガスやプロパンガスでもよい。   Moreover, although the case where the detection apparatus 1 includes the paint discharge unit 17 has been described, the detection apparatus may not include the paint discharge unit. Moreover, although the case where the detection device 1 includes the display unit 20d that displays the movement distance of the detection device 1 has been described, the detection device may not include the display unit. Moreover, although the case where gas was refrigerant gas of an air conditioner was demonstrated, city gas and propane gas may be sufficient as gas.
