Description

【0001】
【産業上の利用分野】
本発明は表面処理機構を備えた吸着式壁面歩行装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
高層ビルの壁の清掃、窓ガラスの清掃や高層建造物の壁面のメインテナンスは従来、足場を組んだり、高所作業車を使用したり、ロープで吊り下げたゴンドラを使用し、これら足場、高所作業車、ゴンドラに載った作業員によって実施される。
高所作業の機械化、自動化の要求から表面処理機構を備えた吸着式壁面歩行装置が研究され、一部実用に供されている。吸着式壁面歩行装置は複数個の脚機構の先端に真空吸盤を取付けたもので、脚機構を動かしつつ真空吸盤の吸着、非吸着を繰返すことによりあたかも「蜘蛛」の如く壁面を移動させ得る装置である。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかし、上記吸着式壁面歩行装置に搭載される表面処理機構は、例えばブラスト機構であれば高速度でブラストを壁面へ投射するから、ダストの飛散が問題となり、大きなテント状の布で表面処理機構をすっぽりと覆わなければならない。一般に、この種の覆いは作業者の手で1ピッチずつ移動させるしかない。表面処理機構がスチールブラシであっても同様である。
そこで、本発明の目的はダスト対策を施した表面処理機構付き吸着式壁面歩行装置を提供することにある。
【0004】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するために請求項1は、巻上げ手段により昇降しつつ壁面の表面処理を実施する表面処理機構と、巻上げ手段には頼らずに、付属する複数本の脚機構及びこれら脚機構の先端に取付けた真空吸盤により壁面を自在に歩行する吸着式壁面歩行装置と、表面処理機構を上下に案内するために吸着式壁面歩行装置に付設したガイドレールと、からなる表面処理機構を備えた吸着式壁面歩行装置であって、
吸着式壁面歩行装置は、環状で且つ可撓性材料からなる本体枠と、この本体枠から下ろした複数本の脚機構と、これらの脚機構の先端に取付けた真空吸盤とで構成し、
脚機構に壁面に平行な方向へピストンロッドを前後進させるシリンダを含み、このシリンダで真空吸盤を壁面に平行な方向へ移動させるようにし、
ガイドレールは、壁面に垂直な方向に移動可能に本体枠に取付け、
表面処理機構は、被処理部を局部的に囲うボックスを有し、このボックスにダスト排出口を有し、このダスト排出口に真空排気ホースを接続する構造としたことを特徴とする。
【0005】
請求項2では、表面処理機構は、サンド又はショットを吹付けて、壁面の表面物質を剥離するブラスト機構であることを特徴とする。
【0007】
【作用】
請求項1では、表面処理機構を巻上げ手段で昇降することで、表面処理機構の荷重を吸着式壁面歩行装置に負担させないようにする。吸着式壁面歩行装置は自重のみを支えればよいので構造の簡略化と軽量化とが図れる。
そして、吸着式壁面歩行装置の本体枠を、環状で且つ可撓性材料で構成したので、壁面に凹面及び凸面があってもこれらに倣って本体枠が変形する。この様に吸着式壁面歩行装置は曲面を自在に自走させることができる。
壁面に垂直な方向に移動可能に本体枠に取付けたガイドレールに表面処理機構を案内させるようにしたので、表面処理機構を壁面の形状に倣って移動させることができる。
表面処理機構は、真空式掃除機の要領で、ボックス、ダスト排出孔、真空排気ホースで発生ダストを速かに回収し、排出する。
【0008】
請求項2は、表面処理機構をブラスト機構とした。
表面処理機構が、ブラスト機構であれば、壁面から剥離させた物質とともにサンド又はショットが発生ダストとして大量に発生する。しかし、表面処理機構は、ボックス、ダスト排出孔、真空排気ホースで発生ダストを速かに回収し、排出することができる。従って、表面処理機構がブラスト機構であっても本発明により円滑に表面処理を実施することができる。
【0010】
【実施例】
本発明の実施例を添付図に基づいて以下に説明する。なお、図面は符号の向きに見るものとする。
説明の都合で、吸着式壁面歩行装置単体を図1〜図6で述べ、それ以降に表面処理機構を備えた吸着式壁面歩行装置について述べる。
また、Xは壁面に平行な水平軸、Yは壁面に平行な垂直軸、Zは壁面に直交する垂直軸である。
図1は本発明の第1実施例に係る吸着式壁面歩行装置の平面図、図2は同分解斜視図、図3は同要部の分解斜視図であり、理解を容易にするために図2、図3、図1の順に説明する。
図2において、吸着式壁面歩行装置1は平面視略口形の環状の本体枠2と、この本体枠2から下ろされた複数本の脚機構10A,10B,10C,10D,10E,10F,10G,10Hと、これらの脚機構10A〜10Hの先端に取付けられた真空吸盤30・・・(・・・は複数個を示す。以下同様。)とからなる。
前記本体枠2はゴムや軟質樹脂などの可撓材料を中空のゴム又は樹脂製浮き輪形状体に成形したものである。
【0011】
脚機構10Aと脚機構10Bとは、いわゆる勝手反対の関係にあり、1部の部品の向きが異なるだけなので、詳細な構成は脚機構10Aのみを次に説明する。
図3は脚機構10Aの拡大図であり、脚機構10Aは取付け金具11と、バンド12,12と、前記取付け金具11にアタッチメント13,14を介して取付けられるX方向シリンダ15(以下、単に「Xシリンダ15」と記す。)と、このXシリンダ15のピストンロッド16にて押し引きされるZ方向シリンダ18(以下、単に「Zシリンダ18」と記す。)とからなる。19,19はガイドロッド、21・・・は固定ブロックでありガイドロッド19を取付け金具11に固定するための部材である。ガイドロッド19,19はZシリンダ18の姿勢を維持するための部材である。
【0012】
前記Zシリンダ18のピストンロッド22の先端に真空吸盤30が取付けられるが、この真空吸盤30はゴム若しくは軟質樹脂をカップ形状に成形したものであり、ホース31で三方口電磁弁32及び真空ポンプ等の真空引き手段33に接続され、真空引き手段33で真空吸盤30内の真空度を高めることにより真空吸盤30を壁面に吸着させるものである。三方口電磁弁32を切り換えて、ホース31を真空引き手段33と遮断して大気に連通すればホース31及び真空吸盤30が大気圧に戻り、真空吸盤30は吸着力を失う。この状態を非吸着と称する。
【0013】
図2に戻って、脚機構10BはXシリンダをY方向シリンダ24(以下単に「Yシリンダ24」と記す。)に変更しただけでその他は変更ないので説明は省略する。その他の脚部材10D,10E,10HはXシリンダ15を有し、脚部材10C,10F,10GはYシリンダ24を有している。
従って、脚機構10A,10D,10E,10HはXシリンダ15の作用で真空吸盤30を図でX方向に移動し、又脚機構10B,10C,10F,10GはYシリンダ24の作用で真空吸盤30を図でY方向に移動するので、これらの何れかを使用することにより、真空式自走装置1をX又はY方向へ自走させることができる。
【0014】
図1において計8個の真空吸盤を、便宜上30A,30B,30C,30D,30E,30F,30G,30Hと呼称し、図中央に表示したX,−X,Y,−Y方向によれば、次の要領でいづれの方向へも移動させることができる。ここではY方向の移動のみ説明する。なお、次の説明中、シリンダ前進動はピストンロッドをシリンダから外方へ伸ばしたこと、シリンダ後退動はその逆を意味する。
真空吸盤30C,30Fを非吸着、Zシリンダ(符号省略、以下同)後退動、Yシリンダ前進動、Zシリンダ前進動の要領で1ピッチ前進させ、その位置で吸着させる。
真空吸盤30A,30D,30E,30Hを非吸着とし、好しくはZシリンダを後退動して待機位置まで移動する。
これと同時又は直後に、真空吸盤30B,30Gに係るYシリンダを前進動させ、且つ真空吸盤30C,30Fに係るYシリンダを後退動させる。これで本体枠2は1ピッチだけY方向へ移動する。
真空吸盤30A,30D,30E,30Hを吸着させる。
真空吸盤30B,30Gを非吸着、Zシリンダ後退動、Yシリンダ後退動、Zシリンダ前進動の要領で1ピッチ前進させて、図1に状態に戻す。
以上の説明はやや分かりにくいが、吸着式壁面歩行装置の一般的作用例である。また、この作用は上記説明に限定されるものではない。
他の−Y,X,−Xも同様であるので、説明は省略する。
【0015】
以上に述べた吸着式壁面歩行装置の作用を次に説明する。
図4は本発明の吸着式壁面歩行装置の作用図であり、大型船の船側外板40には凹面41や凸面42が少なくない。そこで、本発明に係る吸着式壁面歩行装置1は凹面41及び凸面42に倣って本体枠2が変形する。正確には、本体枠2の中央が折れ曲がる。他の部分は取付け金具11及びバンド12,12で拘束されているからである。従って、真空吸盤30・・・は常に船側外板40に好ましい角度で当接し、吸着能を損ねる心配がない。この様にして吸着式壁面歩行装置1は曲面を自在に自走する。
【0016】
図5は本発明の第2実施例に係る吸着式壁面歩行装置の分解斜視図であり、本体枠50を、例えばゴム又軟質樹脂の四角筒の両開口を塞いだ形状の中空エレメント51・・・と、連結用の金具52・・・とで構成し、中空エレメント51,51同士を金具52で結合して全体として環状としたものである。脚部材10A〜10Hは変更ないので符号を準用し、説明は省略する。
第2実施例ではコーナ部分を削除した形態とした。中空エレメント51・・・は形状及び構造が簡単である。従って、本体枠50を低コストで製造可能である。
【0017】
図6は本発明の本体枠の別実施例図であり、本体枠60を小径の中空管61・・・、例えばゴムチューブの両端を閉じた程度のもので構成し、バンド62,63で結束したものである。上記第2実施例よりも更に低コスト化を図ることができる。
【0018】
図7は本発明のブラスト機構を備えた吸着式壁面歩行装置の分解斜視図であり、表面処理機構の代表例であるブラスト機構70は、ボックス73と、ブラスト供給ホース71,71の先端を接続するためのブラストノズル74,74と、これらブラストノズル74,74を揺動するためのノズル揺動機構80と、ワイヤの一端に係止するためのワイヤ結合板75(モータ81の置き台を兼ねる。)と、ガイド溝76,76とからなる。
一方、吸着式壁面走行装置1側のバンド12,12に平行リンク77,77及びシングルリンク78,78を介してガイドレール79を取付け、2本のガイドレール79,79に前記ブラスト機構70を摺動可能に取付ける。
【0019】
図8は本発明のブラスト機構を備えた吸着式壁面歩行装置の平面図であり、本体枠2にバンド12・・・を介して平行リンク77・・・及びシングルリンク78・・・を取付け、これらリンク77,78・・・にガイドレール79,79を取付け、これらガイドレール79,79間にブラスト機構70を取付けた状態を示す。
図においてブラスト機構70は上下に移動可能である。しかし、図面表裏方向への移動は抑制される。Ltは上限位置検知手段,Lbは下限位置検知手段であり、それらの一方にブラスト機構70が到達したことを検知するものである。
前記位置検知手段Lt,Lbは、例えばレバー型リミットスイッチ、プッシュ型リミットスイッチ、磁気式近接スイッチ、光学式近接スイッチのようにある相対位置検知手段であれば、種類は問わない。
【0020】
図9は図8の9−9線断面図であり、ブラスト機構70の断面を詳しく表示したものであり、ボックス73の下縁にはゴム、樹脂等のパッド73aが付設され、壁面に直接的にはボックス73が当らぬようにしている。壁面に疵を付けぬように配慮したからである。ただし、パッド73aには適度に真空破壊スリット73b・・・が切られ、ある程度の外気の導入を可能にして、真空度が高過ぎてボックス73が壁面から外れなくなる如き心配の無いようにしている。奥に見える開口73c,73cは真空排気ホース72に続くダスト排出口である。
ボックス73内部を真空排気ホース72にて負圧にすることを特徴とする。ボックス73はショットで打たれたダスト(ショット、錆、ごみなど)が充満するが、連続的に真空排気ボース72で吸引されるので、このダストがボックス73から洩れて付近を汚す心配はない。
【0021】
また、ブラストノズル74,74はノズル揺動機構80を構成するところのモータ81(図8参照)、偏心カム82、レバー83,83、球面ブッシュ84,84、ピン85,85によって、ピン85,85を中心に、左右に揺動し、壁面に満遍なくブラストが当るように構造となっている。87,87は防塵カバーであり、球面ブッシュ84,84などへのブラストや錆の侵入を防止する。
【0022】
ここで重要なことは、本体枠2とボックス73とが平行リンク77,77で連結されていることである。
ボックス73は内部が真空となった時にはパッド73aが壁面に当接する。一方、枠本体2は壁面の形状に応じて変形する。そのために両者を平行リンク77,77で連結することで、Z方向の互いの移動を妨げない構造とした。
【0023】
図10(a),(b)は本発明に係る表面処理機構と枠本体との連結機構図であり、(a)は図8〜図10の連結機構を再掲したものであり、本体枠2側のバンド12に平行リンク77の一辺が付き、平行リンク77の他辺にガイドレール79が付いている形態を示し、平行リンク77であるから何れのZ方向高さにあってガイドレール79が捩れることはない。ただし、平行リンク77はX方向には十分な支持作用をなすが、Y方向はその作用がない。そこで、シングルリンク78を別のバンド12に取付け、このシングルリンク78でY方向の移動を拘束するようにした。
【0024】
(b)は他の連結機構例を示し、平面視L字形のゴムダンパ89を準備し、このゴムダンパ89でバンド12,12とガイドレール79とを連結したものである。ゴムダンパ89は表面に凹凸ヒダを有し、自身も弾性体であるから十分に変位吸収能力を有するので要求される変位を十分に吸収する。
【0025】
図11は本発明の表面処理機構を備えた吸着式壁面歩行装置の作用図であり、吸着式壁面歩行装置1にブラスト機構70を付設し、ブラスト機構70を図の上下左右に移動しつつ大型船の船側外板40の塗装前下地処理を実施する。なお、ブラスト機構70はサンド又はショット(鋼球、鋼線の切断片)を高速で吹き付けて、鋼板面の錆を剥離する機構であり、前記サンド又はショットをブラストという。
【0026】
ブラスト機構70は重量物であり、ブラスト供給ホース71や真空排気ホース72が下方へ長く垂れ下がりこれらの重量も加わる。そこで、本使用例ではウインチなどの巻上げ手段65及びワイヤ66を準備し、ブラスト機構70をデッキに備えた巻上げ手段65にてワイヤ66で上下させるようにした。即ち、吸着式壁面歩行装置1の役割は、ブラスト機構70の緩やかな保持と、同機構70の左右方向(X方向)の振れ止めを図ることにあり、ブラスト機構70全体をサポートするものではない。
従って、本実施例の吸着式壁面歩行装置1は、負荷が小さいので、軽量で且つ小型に構成できる。
【0027】
なお、例えば甲板上にレールを敷き、レール上に台車を載せ、この台車に巻上げ手段65を載せることにより、巻上げ手段65を図左右方向に適宜移動することができる。67は岸壁に横付けされた作業車、68はブラスト投射設備である。このブラスト投射設備68は回収したブラストから錆、異物などを除去する機能、クリーンになったブラストを所定の速度で発射する機構その他必要な機構を有する。
【0028】
以上に述べた表面処理機構を備えた吸着式壁面歩行装置の作用を次に述べる。図11において、巻上げ手段65を始動してブラスト機構70及び吸着式壁面歩行装置1を所定の高さまで下ろす。所定の高さにて、吸着式壁面歩行装置1を吸着状態とし、ブラスト投射設備68からブラストを供給する。
図8において、ボックス73の下方の壁面はショットが打たれ、浮き錆等が剥離される。ショットと錆等との混合物はブラスト回収ホース72にて回収される。そして、ワイヤ66を巻上げることによりボックス73は上昇し、壁面を下から上へブラスト処理する。そこで、ワイヤ66の巻上げ速度にほぼ合せて、吸着式壁面歩行装置1を上方へ歩行させる。
【0029】
図12は本発明の表面処理機構を備えた吸着式壁面歩行装置の作動フロー図であり、ST××はステップ番号を示す。また、本実施例では、巻上げ手段65は基準速度(中速)と低速と高速の3速を切り換え可能である。
ST01で吸着式壁面歩行装置1は上昇歩行を開始し、同時にST02でブラスト機構70はブラストの投射を開始する。
ST03で巻上げ手段65はブラスト機構70を「基準速度」で巻上げる。この基準速度は壁面歩行装置1の平均歩行速度とほぼ同一である。
ST04で上限位置検知手段Ltが検知(ON)状態にあるか否かを調べ、同じくST05で下限位置検知手段Lbが検知(ON)状態にあるか否かを調べる。図8に示した通り、両検知手段Lt,Lbが非検知(OFF)であれば、ブラスト機構70は本体枠2の枠内中間にあることとなる。従って、フロー上はいずれもNoのルートを進んで壁面歩行、ブラスト、巻上げを継続する。
【0030】
ST04で上限位置検知手段LtがONになったときには、相対的に巻上げ速度が早過ぎることになる。そこで、ST06で巻上げ速度を「低速」に切換える。このままでしばらく運転するが、巻上げ速度が遅過ぎることが考えられる。
そこで、ST07で下限位置検知手段LbがONになったら、Yesのルートを進ませてST03に戻し、巻上げ速度を標準に戻せばよい。
【0031】
ST05で下限位置検知手段LbがONになったときには、相対的に巻上げ速度が遅過ぎることになる。そこで、ST08で巻上げ速度を「高速」に切換える。このままでしばらく運転するが、巻上げ速度が早過ぎることが考えられる。
そこで、ST09で上限位置検知手段LtがONになったら、Yesのルートを進ませてST03に戻し、巻上げ速度を標準に戻せばよい。
以上の制御で、吸着式壁面歩行装置1の上昇とブラスト機構70の巻上げとの好ましい同調を図ることができる。
以上は上昇作業を述べたが下降作業も同様である。又、制御フローは一例を示したに過ぎず、この例に限るものではない。
【0032】
図13は本発明に係る表面処理機構の別実施例断面図であり、表面処理機構は図示する回転ブラシ機構90であってもよい。
即ち、回転ブラシ機構90は、下面開放の細長いボックス91にブラシ92,92,92を収納し、これらブラシ92・・・を各々中空の縦軸93・・・及び軸受94・・・を介して前記ボックス91に軸支させ、前記縦軸93・・・をギア95・・・で機械的に連結し、うち一個のギア95にモータ96の出力ギア97を噛合させたものである。前記縦軸93の内部は水通路であり、ブラッシングの際に注水できるようにしている。ボックス92の両側にガイド溝76,76を備え、また、ボックス92の下部にパッド73aを備えたことは、前記ボックス73と同じである。従って、図8のボックス73をボックス91に交換して、回転ブラシ機構90を備えた吸着式壁面歩行装置1を構成することができる。
【0033】
図14は図13の14−14線断面図であり、前記ボックス91が細長い箱であることを示す。
このボックス91の後壁91aにはダスト排出口91b,91bが開口し、これらダスト排出口91b,91bから真空排気ホース98が延出し、図示せぬ吸引手段に至る。従って、発生したダスト、錆などは強制回収される。ところで、吸引手段は圧力差で流体及び物質を移動するものであるから、ボックス91内は負圧になり、パッド73aは壁面に密着する恐れがある。そこで、ボックス91の前壁91cに真空破壊孔91d・・・を開けて、真空吸着力を弱めるようにした。
【0034】
なお、回転ブラシ機構90ではブラシ92の数は2個又は4個以上であっても差支えない。細長いボックス73,91にブラストノズル74やブラシ92を直列に且つ移動方向と直交する方向に並べることにより、表面処理面積を簡単に拡大することができる。
【0035】
【発明の効果】
本発明は上記構成により次の効果を発揮する。
請求項1によれば、表面処理機構を巻上げ手段で昇降することで、表面処理機構の荷重を吸着式壁面歩行装置に負担させないようにする。吸着式壁面歩行装置は自重のみを支えればよいので構造の簡略化と軽量化とが図れる。
そして、吸着式壁面歩行装置の本体枠を、環状で且つ可撓性材料で構成したので、壁面に凹面及び凸面があってもこれらに倣って本体枠が変形する。この様に吸着式壁面歩行装置は曲面を自在に自走させることができる。
壁面に垂直な方向に移動可能に本体枠に取付けたガイドレールに表面処理機構を案内させるようにしたので、表面処理機構を壁面の形状に倣って移動させることができる。
表面処理機構では、真空式掃除機の要領で、ボックス、ダスト排出孔、真空排気ホースで発生ダストを速かに回収し、排出することができる。従って、本発明によれば、装置の無人化と環境汚染の防止の両方が達成できる。
【0036】
請求項2は、表面処理機構をブラスト機構とした。
表面処理機構が、ブラスト機構であれば、壁面から剥離させた物質とともにサンド又はショットが発生ダストとして大量に発生する。しかし、表面処理機構は、ボックス、ダスト排出孔、真空排気ホースで発生ダストを速かに回収し、排出することができる。従って、表面処理機構がブラスト機構であっても本発明により円滑に表面処理を実施することができる。

[Industrial applications]
The present invention relates to a suction-type wall walking device having a surface treatment mechanism.
[0002]

However, the surface treatment mechanism mounted on the suction-type wall walking device is, for example, a blast mechanism that projects blast onto a wall surface at a high speed, so that scattering of dust becomes a problem. Must be completely covered. In general, this type of cover has to be moved one pitch at a time by the operator's hand. The same applies even if the surface treatment mechanism is a steel brush.

It has a surface treatment mechanism consisting of a suction-type wall walking device that freely walks on the wall surface with a vacuum suction cup attached to the tip, and a guide rail attached to the suction-type wall walking device to guide the surface treatment mechanism up and down. An adsorption-type wall walking device,
The suction-type wall walking device is composed of a main body frame made of an annular and flexible material, a plurality of leg mechanisms lowered from the main body frame, and a vacuum sucker attached to the tips of these leg mechanisms.
The leg mechanism includes a cylinder that moves the piston rod back and forth in a direction parallel to the wall, and this cylinder moves the vacuum suction cup in a direction parallel to the wall,
The guide rail is attached to the body frame so that it can move in the direction perpendicular to the wall,
The surface treatment mechanism is characterized in that it has a box that locally surrounds the portion to be treated, has a dust outlet in this box, and connects a vacuum exhaust hose to the dust outlet.
[0005]
According to a second aspect of the present invention, the surface treatment mechanism is a blast mechanism that sprays a sand or a shot to separate the surface material on the wall surface .
[0007]
[Action]
In the first aspect, the load of the surface treatment mechanism is prevented from being applied to the suction-type wall walking device by raising and lowering the surface treatment mechanism by the hoisting means. Since the suction-type wall walking device only needs to support its own weight, the structure can be simplified and the weight can be reduced.
And since the main body frame of the suction type wall surface walking device is formed of an annular and flexible material, even if the wall surface has a concave surface and a convex surface, the main body frame is deformed according to these. In this way, the suction-type wall surface walking device can freely run on a curved surface.
Since the surface treatment mechanism is guided by the guide rail attached to the body frame so as to be movable in a direction perpendicular to the wall surface, the surface treatment mechanism can be moved according to the shape of the wall surface.
The surface treatment mechanism quickly collects and discharges generated dust with a box, a dust discharge hole, and a vacuum exhaust hose in the same manner as a vacuum cleaner.
[0008]
In a second aspect, the surface treatment mechanism is a blast mechanism.
If the surface treatment mechanism is a blast mechanism, a large amount of sand or shot is generated as generated dust together with the material separated from the wall surface. However, the surface treatment mechanism can quickly collect and discharge the generated dust with a box, a dust discharge hole, and a vacuum exhaust hose. Therefore, even if the surface treatment mechanism is a blast mechanism, the surface treatment can be smoothly performed by the present invention.
[0010]
【Example】
An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings should be viewed in the direction of reference numerals.
For convenience of explanation, the suction-type wall walking device alone will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6, and thereafter, the suction-type wall walking device provided with a surface treatment mechanism will be described.
X is a horizontal axis parallel to the wall surface, Y is a vertical axis parallel to the wall surface, and Z is a vertical axis orthogonal to the wall surface.
FIG. 1 is a plan view of a suction type wall walking device according to a first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the same, and FIG. 2, FIG. 3, and FIG. 1 will be described in this order.
In FIG. 2, the suction-type wall walking device 1 includes an annular main body frame 2 having a substantially mouth shape in plan view, and a plurality of leg mechanisms 10A, 10B, 10C, 10D, 10E, 10F, 10G lowered from the main body frame 2. 10H and vacuum suction cups 30 attached to the distal ends of the leg mechanisms 10A to 10H.
The body frame 2 is formed by molding a flexible material such as rubber or soft resin into a hollow ring-shaped body made of rubber or resin.
[0011]
Since the leg mechanism 10A and the leg mechanism 10B are in a so-called opposite relationship, and only the directions of some parts are different, only the leg mechanism 10A will be described in detail below.
FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of the leg mechanism 10A. The leg mechanism 10A is provided with a mounting bracket 11, bands 12, 12, and an X-direction cylinder 15 (hereinafter simply referred to as "a") attached to the mounting bracket 11 via attachments 13, 14. X cylinder 15 "), and a Z-direction cylinder 18 (hereinafter simply referred to as" Z cylinder 18 ") pushed and pulled by a piston rod 16 of the X cylinder 15. Reference numerals 19, 19 denote guide rods, 21 ... fixed blocks, which are members for fixing the guide rod 19 to the mounting bracket 11. The guide rods 19 are members for maintaining the attitude of the Z cylinder 18.
[0012]
A vacuum suction cup 30 is attached to the tip of the piston rod 22 of the Z cylinder 18. The vacuum suction cup 30 is formed by molding rubber or soft resin into a cup shape, and a hose 31 uses a three-way solenoid valve 32 and a vacuum pump. The vacuum suction means 33 is connected to the vacuum suction means 33, and the degree of vacuum in the vacuum suction cup 30 is increased by the vacuum suction means 33 so that the vacuum suction cup 30 is adsorbed on the wall surface. If the three-way opening electromagnetic valve 32 is switched to disconnect the hose 31 from the evacuation means 33 and communicate with the atmosphere, the hose 31 and the vacuum suction cup 30 return to the atmospheric pressure, and the vacuum suction cup 30 loses the adsorbing power. This state is called non-adsorption.
[0013]
Returning to FIG. 2, the leg mechanism 10B merely changes the X cylinder to the Y-direction cylinder 24 (hereinafter simply referred to as “Y cylinder 24”), and the rest is not changed. The other leg members 10D, 10E, 10H have an X cylinder 15, and the leg members 10C, 10F, 10G have a Y cylinder 24.
Therefore, the leg mechanisms 10A, 10D, 10E, and 10H move the vacuum suction cup 30 in the X direction in the figure by the action of the X cylinder 15, and the leg mechanisms 10B, 10C, 10F, and 10G move the vacuum suction cup 30 by the action of the Y cylinder 24. Is moved in the Y direction in the drawing, and by using any of these, the vacuum self-propelled device 1 can be made to run in the X or Y direction by itself.
[0014]
In FIG. 1, a total of eight vacuum suction cups are referred to as 30A, 30B, 30C, 30D, 30E, 30F, 30G, and 30H for convenience, and according to the X, -X, Y, and -Y directions indicated in the center of the drawing. It can be moved in either direction as follows. Here, only the movement in the Y direction will be described. In the following description, forward movement of the cylinder means extending the piston rod outward from the cylinder, and backward movement of the cylinder means the reverse.
The vacuum suction cups 30C and 30F are moved forward by one pitch in the manner of non-suction, Z cylinder (symbol omitted, the same applies hereinafter), Y cylinder forward movement, and Z cylinder forward movement, and suction is performed at that position.
The vacuum suction cups 30A, 30D, 30E, and 30H are not suctioned, and the Z cylinder is preferably moved backward to move to the standby position.
Simultaneously with or immediately after this, the Y cylinder related to the vacuum suction cups 30B and 30G is moved forward, and the Y cylinder related to the vacuum suction cups 30C and 30F is moved backward. As a result, the body frame 2 moves by one pitch in the Y direction.
The vacuum suction cups 30A, 30D, 30E and 30H are adsorbed.
The vacuum suction cups 30B and 30G are advanced by one pitch in the manner of non-suction, Z cylinder retraction, Y cylinder retraction, and Z cylinder advancement to return to the state shown in FIG.
Although the above description is somewhat incomprehensible, it is a general operation example of the suction-type wall walking device. This operation is not limited to the above description.
The other -Y, X, and -X are the same, and the description is omitted.
[0015]
The operation of the suction-type wall walking device described above will now be described.
FIG. 4 is an operation diagram of the suction-type wall walking device of the present invention, and the ship-side outer plate 40 of a large ship has many concave surfaces 41 and convex surfaces 42. Therefore, in the suction-type wall walking device 1 according to the present invention, the main body frame 2 is deformed following the concave surface 41 and the convex surface 42. To be precise, the center of the main body frame 2 is bent. This is because the other parts are restrained by the mounting bracket 11 and the bands 12, 12. Therefore, the vacuum suction cups 30... Always contact the ship side outer plate 40 at a preferable angle, and there is no fear that the suction ability is impaired. In this manner, the suction-type wall walking device 1 freely travels on a curved surface.
[0016]
FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view of a suction-type wall walking device according to a second embodiment of the present invention, in which a main body frame 50 is a hollow element 51 having a shape in which both openings of a rubber or soft resin square tube are closed. , And connecting metal fittings 52..., And the hollow elements 51, 51 are connected to each other by the metal fittings 52 to form an annular shape as a whole. Since the leg members 10A to 10H are not changed, the reference numerals are applied mutatis mutandis, and the description is omitted.
In the second embodiment, a form in which a corner portion is deleted is adopted. The hollow elements 51 are simple in shape and structure. Therefore, the main body frame 50 can be manufactured at low cost.
[0017]
FIG. 6 is a view showing another embodiment of the main body frame of the present invention. The main body frame 60 is constituted by a small-diameter hollow tube 61... It is a unity. The cost can be further reduced as compared with the second embodiment.
[0018]
FIG. 7 is an exploded perspective view of a suction-type wall walking device provided with a blast mechanism according to the present invention. A blast mechanism 70, which is a typical example of a surface treatment mechanism, connects a box 73 and the tips of blast supply hoses 71, 71. Nozzles 74, 74, a nozzle swinging mechanism 80 for swinging the blast nozzles 74, 74, and a wire connecting plate 75 for locking to one end of a wire (also serves as a table for the motor 81). .) And guide grooves 76, 76.
On the other hand, guide rails 79 are attached to the bands 12, 12 on the side of the suction type wall traveling device 1 via parallel links 77, 77 and single links 78, 78, and the blast mechanism 70 slides on the two guide rails 79, 79. Mount movably.
[0019]
FIG. 8 is a plan view of a suction-type wall walking device provided with a blast mechanism of the present invention, in which a parallel link 77 and a single link 78 are attached to the main body frame 2 via a band 12. A state is shown in which guide rails 79 are attached to these links 77, 78, and a blast mechanism 70 is attached between the guide rails 79.
In the figure, the blast mechanism 70 can be moved up and down. However, movement in the direction of the front and back of the drawing is suppressed. Lt is an upper limit position detecting means, and Lb is a lower limit position detecting means, which detects that the blast mechanism 70 has reached one of them.
The type of the position detecting means Lt and Lb is not limited as long as it is a relative position detecting means such as a lever type limit switch, a push type limit switch, a magnetic proximity switch, and an optical proximity switch.
[0020]
FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 9-9 of FIG. 8 and shows the cross section of the blast mechanism 70 in detail. A pad 73a made of rubber, resin, or the like is attached to the lower edge of the box 73, and is directly attached to the wall surface. Box 73 does not hit. This is because care was taken not to scratch the wall. However, the pad 73a is appropriately formed with a vacuum breaking slit 73b... So that a certain amount of outside air can be introduced so that there is no worry that the degree of vacuum is so high that the box 73 does not come off the wall surface. . Openings 73 c, 73 c seen in the back are dust discharge ports following the vacuum exhaust hose 72.
The inside of the box 73 is set to a negative pressure by the vacuum exhaust hose 72. The box 73 is filled with dust (shot, rust, dust, etc.) hit by the shot, but since the dust is continuously sucked by the vacuum exhaust bose 72, there is no fear that the dust leaks from the box 73 and contaminates the vicinity.
[0021]
The blast nozzles 74, 74 are formed by a motor 81 (see FIG. 8) constituting a nozzle swinging mechanism 80, an eccentric cam 82, levers 83, 83, spherical bushes 84, 84, and pins 85, 85. It swings right and left around the center 85 so that the blast can hit the wall evenly. Reference numerals 87, 87 denote dustproof covers, which prevent blast and rust from entering the spherical bushings 84, 84 and the like.
[0022]
What is important here is that the main body frame 2 and the box 73 are connected by parallel links 77 and 77.
When the inside of the box 73 is evacuated, the pad 73a contacts the wall surface. On the other hand, the frame body 2 is deformed according to the shape of the wall surface. For this reason, by connecting the two with parallel links 77, 77, a structure that does not hinder each other's movement in the Z direction is adopted.
[0023]
FIGS. 10 (a) and 10 (b) are views showing a connection mechanism between the surface treatment mechanism and the frame body according to the present invention, and FIG. 10 (a) is a reprint of the connection mechanism shown in FIGS. This shows a form in which one side of the parallel link 77 is attached to the side band 12 and a guide rail 79 is attached to the other side of the parallel link 77. Since the parallel link 77 is used, the guide rail 79 is at any height in the Z direction. There is no twist. However, the parallel link 77 has a sufficient supporting function in the X direction, but has no such function in the Y direction. Therefore, the single link 78 is attached to another band 12, and the movement in the Y direction is restricted by the single link 78.
[0024]
(B) shows another example of a connection mechanism, in which a rubber damper 89 having an L-shape in plan view is prepared, and the rubber damper 89 connects the bands 12, 12 and the guide rail 79. The rubber damper 89 has uneven folds on its surface, and since it is also an elastic body, it has a sufficient displacement absorbing ability, so that it can sufficiently absorb the required displacement.
[0025]
FIG. 11 is an operation diagram of the suction-type wall walking device provided with the surface treatment mechanism of the present invention. The suction-type wall walking device 1 is provided with a blast mechanism 70, and the blast mechanism 70 is moved up, down, left, and right in the figure, and is enlarged. A pre-coating base treatment of the ship side outer panel 40 is performed. Note that the blast mechanism 70 is a mechanism that blows a sand or a shot (a cut piece of a steel ball or a steel wire) at a high speed to peel off rust on the steel plate surface, and the sand or the shot is referred to as a blast.
[0026]
The blast mechanism 70 is a heavy object, and the blast supply hose 71 and the evacuation hose 72 hang down downward for a long time, and these weights are added. Therefore, in this use example, a winding means 65 such as a winch and a wire 66 are prepared, and the blast mechanism 70 is moved up and down by the wire 66 by the winding means 65 provided on the deck. That is, the role of the suction-type wall walking device 1 is to achieve gentle holding of the blast mechanism 70 and to prevent the blast mechanism 70 from swinging in the left-right direction (X direction), and does not support the entire blast mechanism 70. .
Accordingly, the suction-type wall walking device 1 of the present embodiment can be configured to be lightweight and small since the load is small.
[0027]
For example, by laying a rail on the deck, placing the bogie on the rail, and mounting the hoisting means 65 on this bogie, the hoisting means 65 can be appropriately moved in the horizontal direction in the figure. 67 is a work vehicle laid on the quay, and 68 is blast projection equipment. The blast projection facility 68 has a function of removing rust, foreign matter, and the like from the collected blast, a mechanism for firing the cleaned blast at a predetermined speed, and other necessary mechanisms.
[0028]
The operation of the suction-type wall walking device provided with the above-described surface treatment mechanism will be described below. 11, the hoisting means 65 is started to lower the blast mechanism 70 and the suction-type wall walking device 1 to a predetermined height. At a predetermined height, the suction-type wall walking device 1 is brought into the suction state, and blast is supplied from the blast projection equipment 68.
In FIG. 8, a shot is hit on the lower wall surface of the box 73, and floating rust and the like are peeled off. The mixture of the shot and the rust is collected by a blast collection hose 72. Then, by winding the wire 66, the box 73 is raised, and the wall surface is blasted from bottom to top. Therefore, the suction-type wall walking device 1 is caused to walk upward substantially in accordance with the winding speed of the wire 66.
[0029]
FIG. 12 is an operation flowchart of the suction-type wall walking device provided with the surface treatment mechanism of the present invention, and STxx indicates a step number. Further, in the present embodiment, the hoisting means 65 can switch between a reference speed (medium speed), and three speeds of low speed and high speed.
In ST01, the suction-type wall walking device 1 starts ascending walking, and at the same time, in ST02, the blast mechanism 70 starts blast projection.
In ST03, the winding means 65 winds the blast mechanism 70 at the "reference speed". This reference speed is almost the same as the average walking speed of the wall surface walking device 1.
In ST04, it is checked whether or not the upper limit position detecting means Lt is in the detection (ON) state. Similarly, in ST05, it is checked whether or not the lower limit position detecting means Lb is in the detection (ON) state. As shown in FIG. 8, if both the detection units Lt and Lb are not detected (OFF), the blast mechanism 70 is located in the middle of the main body frame 2. Accordingly, on the flow, the vehicle travels along the route of No, and continues walking on the wall, blasting, and hoisting.
[0030]
When the upper limit position detecting means Lt is turned on in ST04, the hoisting speed is relatively too high. Therefore, the winding speed is switched to "low speed" in ST06. Although the vehicle is operated for a while with this state, the hoisting speed may be too low.
Therefore, when the lower limit position detecting means Lb is turned ON in ST07, the route of Yes may be advanced to return to ST03, and the hoisting speed may be returned to the standard.
[0031]
When the lower limit position detecting means Lb is turned ON in ST05, the hoisting speed is relatively too slow. Therefore, the winding speed is switched to "high speed" in ST08. The vehicle is operated for a while in this state, but the winding speed may be too high.
Therefore, when the upper limit position detecting means Lt is turned on in ST09, the route of Yes may be advanced to return to ST03, and the hoisting speed may be returned to the standard.
With the above control, it is possible to achieve favorable synchronization between the lifting of the suction-type wall walking device 1 and the winding of the blast mechanism 70.
The above describes the ascending operation, but the same applies to the descending operation. Further, the control flow is merely an example, and the present invention is not limited to this example.
[0032]
FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view of another embodiment of the surface treatment mechanism according to the present invention. The surface treatment mechanism may be a rotating brush mechanism 90 shown in FIG.
That is, the rotating brush mechanism 90 accommodates the brushes 92, 92, and 92 in an elongated box 91 having an open lower surface, and these brushes 92 are respectively provided via hollow longitudinal axes 93 and bearings 94. The shaft 91 is supported by the box 91, and the longitudinal axes 93 are mechanically connected by gears 95. One of the gears 95 is meshed with an output gear 97 of a motor 96. The inside of the vertical axis 93 is a water passage so that water can be injected during brushing. It is the same as the box 73 that the guide grooves 76 and 76 are provided on both sides of the box 92 and the pad 73 a is provided below the box 92. Therefore, by replacing the box 73 in FIG. 8 with the box 91, the suction type wall surface walking device 1 including the rotating brush mechanism 90 can be configured.
[0033]
FIG. 14 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 14-14 of FIG. 13 and shows that the box 91 is an elongated box.
Dust outlets 91b, 91b are opened in the rear wall 91a of the box 91, and a vacuum exhaust hose 98 extends from the dust outlets 91b, 91b to reach suction means (not shown). Therefore, the generated dust and rust are forcibly collected. By the way, since the suction means moves the fluid and the substance by the pressure difference, the inside of the box 91 becomes a negative pressure, and the pad 73a may adhere to the wall surface. Therefore, a vacuum breaking hole 91d is formed in the front wall 91c of the box 91 so as to weaken the vacuum suction force.
[0034]
In the rotary brush mechanism 90, the number of the brushes 92 may be two or four or more. By arranging the blast nozzles 74 and the brushes 92 in the elongated boxes 73 and 91 in series and in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction, the surface treatment area can be easily enlarged.
[0035]
【The invention's effect】
The present invention has the following effects by the above configuration.
According to the first aspect , the load of the surface treatment mechanism is prevented from being applied to the suction-type wall walking device by raising and lowering the surface treatment mechanism by the hoisting means. Since the suction-type wall walking device only needs to support its own weight, the structure can be simplified and the weight can be reduced.
And since the main body frame of the suction type wall surface walking device is formed of an annular and flexible material, even if the wall surface has a concave surface and a convex surface, the main body frame is deformed according to these. In this way, the suction-type wall surface walking device can freely run on a curved surface.
Since the surface treatment mechanism is guided by the guide rail attached to the body frame so as to be movable in a direction perpendicular to the wall surface, the surface treatment mechanism can be moved according to the shape of the wall surface.
In the surface treatment mechanism, generated dust can be quickly collected and discharged with a box, a dust discharge hole, and a vacuum exhaust hose in the same manner as a vacuum cleaner. Therefore, according to the present invention, both unmanned operation of the apparatus and prevention of environmental pollution can be achieved.
[0036]
In a second aspect, the surface treatment mechanism is a blast mechanism.
If the surface treatment mechanism is a blast mechanism, a large amount of sand or shot is generated as generated dust together with the material separated from the wall surface. However, the surface treatment mechanism can quickly collect and discharge the generated dust with a box, a dust discharge hole, and a vacuum exhaust hose. Therefore, even if the surface treatment mechanism is a blast mechanism, the surface treatment can be smoothly performed by the present invention.
