Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the automatic working/inspecting device which scarcely causes an error by connecting a digitizer to a controller, inputting data for indicating a work point, a weld line, an obstacle, etc., with a pen, etc., and setting it as target value data of a working and an inspection. CONSTITUTION:A digitizer 5 is connected to a controller 7, a drawing of an apparatus, etc., or a data drawing is stuck to the digitizer 5, data for indicating a work point for a work and an inspection, a weld line, an obstacle, etc., is inputted with a pen attached to the digitizer 5, etc., and the inputted data is processed by an electronic computer 7, and becomes target value data of the working and the inspection. In such a way, since drawing information of the work point, the weld line, the obstacle, etc., is inputted in advance by the digitizer 5, this method is executed easily and quickly, and also, scarcely causes an error, comparing with a conventional method at the time of controlling a movement, the working and the inspection of the automatic working/inspecting device, and also the work is executed by using the computer 7 on the drawing 6, therefore, the working plan can be optimized before the working.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention cleans and blasts the inside and outside of the target equipment.

Concerning automatic work/inspection equipment used in painting, inspection and inspection, etc.

[Conventional technology]

For example, points such as work points, '/g tangents, obstacles, etc. in equipment that performs work inside and outside of huge tanks, inspections, etc. are difficult to determine because conventionally it takes a lot of effort to enter numerical values on a keyboard, etc. Either the points are not input or the points are copied at the site and given as work position information.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, such conventional means are complicated and prone to errors, requiring a great deal of effort to input, as the input of numerous work points, welding lines, and obstacles involved in work inspection is performed using a keyboard or tracing. It takes.

Incidentally, in a typical large floating roof tank with a diameter of 60 m, the weld line at the bottom is as long as 1200 m, which not only requires a great deal of effort to input the data, but also causes the various problems mentioned above.

The present invention has been proposed in view of the above circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an automatic work/inspection device that is easy to use and has fewer errors even when used on large structures.

[Means to solve the problem]

To that end, the present invention cleans the inside and outside of the target equipment.

Paste automatic drawings or data diagrams for various types of work and inspection work such as plastering, and enter data indicating work points, welding lines, obstacles, etc. for work and inspection with the pen etc. that comes with the digitizer. , the input data is processed by a computer and used as target value data for work/inspection.

[Effect]

According to such a configuration, the digitizer can identify the work point,
Welding lines, [hazardous objects, etc.] are entered in advance, so
Automatic work/movement of inspection equipment 2. Control of work and inspection is easier and faster (and less error-prone) than conventional methods.

Since the work is done using a computer on drawings, it is possible to optimize the work plan before starting work.

Since you can easily input more information than before, you can set more optimal target values.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a block diagram showing the system, and Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the present invention applied to tank work.

First, in Fig. 1, the characteristic feature is that the input calculation computer ■ can plan the movement route and work order in advance, and this allows the control device ■ to perform visual inspection by workers and on-site inspection. It is possible to store information in advance that enables control of work and inspection equipment without copying.

This can only be done if it becomes possible to input a huge number of obstacles, weld lines, etc., which is impossible with conventional methods.

Note that the input calculation computer (2) and the control device (2) may be served by the same computer.

Next, as shown in Figure 2, I went to the office.

Then, paste the tank drawing 6 on the digitizer 5, enter the drawing information into the computer 7 in the office, make an optimization plan for work and inspection, confirm it with the printer 8, and put the information on the floppy disk 4 for on-site control. Pass it to device 3.

The automatic work/inspection device 1 is controlled based on the information on the floppy disk 4.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to such a device, the following effects can be achieved.

(1) Information on work points, welding lines, obstacles, etc. of automatic work/inspection equipment such as inside and outside of the tank can be easily obtained and errors can be reduced.

(2) Advance work/inspection optimization planning can be easily planned.

(3) Target values for device control can be set more reliably.

In short, according to the present invention, various work such as cleaning inside and outside of the target equipment, plastering, etc., and inspection work are pasted with other drawings or data diagrams, and work points, welding lines, obstacles, etc. for work and inspection are indicated. By inputting the data with the pen etc. that comes with the digitizer, processing the input data with a computer, and using it as target value data for work/inspection.
The present invention is extremely useful industrially because it provides an automatic work/inspection device that is easy to use and has fewer errors even when used on large structures.
