Last month - While the underwater position was detected by the position recognition device, the navigation of the robot body was controlled by the ground control device, and the condition of the paint film on the dam gate and the presence of changes in the bar pitch of the dust removal screen were automatically inspected. do. That is, the coating film on the gate peels off or is damaged due to collision with driftwood or other solid fluid objects, and as a result, the iron plate portion corrodes. The same applies to dust removal screens; in particular, collisions with driftwood or other solid fluids on the screen can cause deformation of the bars or breakage of mounting bolts, which changes the bar pitch and prevents coarse fluids from passing through. , this may lead to serious accidents. In order to prevent these problems, the underwater robot according to the present invention performs inspections, but the gate for measuring and observing the coating film thickness has deposits called slime such as limescale attached to it. Without removal, accurate observation and measurement of coating thickness cannot be performed.
