[Prior Art] In joint welding of pipes in a new pipe, if it is difficult to weld from the outer circumference of the pipe or if it is thick, it is necessary to weld from inside the pipe. In addition, welding is performed from inside the pipe in order to repair or reinforce the welding defect portion (insufficient back seam, misaligned portion) in the existing pipe.

In the case of the pipe welding, if the pipe diameter is small, a person cannot enter the pipe. Therefore, the position to be welded is detected from the outside of the pipe using a television camera or the like, and the welding is automatically performed by remote control. In this automatic welding, the three-dimensional coordinates (pipe axis direction X, circumferential direction Y, radial direction Z) of positions to be welded over the entire circumference of the pipe are measured and stored in advance, and then the welding torch is positioned at these coordinates. The teaching playback system, which is performed at least, has been adopted.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the conventional method, as shown in FIG. 8, there is a difference in the position to be welded, or in the radial direction at the bent corner portion such as the miter bend portion. In addition to being unable to measure the displacement (Z) of No. 1, there was a drawback that the tip of the mechanical displacement meter was bent and damaged when moving in the pipe axis direction and the circumferential direction. In order to eliminate this drawback, it is conceivable to use a non-contact displacement meter using eddy current or the like instead of the mechanical displacement meter. However, in this case, although the displacement gauge can be prevented from being damaged, since these non-contact displacement gauges measure the average displacement of a certain area, the point measurement cannot be performed accurately.

The reason why the optical axis center of the camera, the light source, and the optical axis center are located on the same plane perpendicular to the tube axis is that the cross slit light ( This is because the spot light) can be made to coincide with the X-axis center reference line of the television screen, and the X-axis coordinates when the welding position is made to coincide with the reference line can be measured. When both optical axes are not in the same plane, the cross slit light (or spot light) is X
If it shifts from the axis center reference line, or if Z changes, it will move in the X axis direction on the TV screen, and it will deviate from the welding position matched with the X axis center reference line, and the accurate welding position coordinates will be displayed. Inconvenience that cannot be measured occurs.

A Z-direction displacement sensor 22 (for example, a potentiometer) is attached to the rotary shaft of 21 to measure the amount of movement of the light source. As a result, the cross slit or spot of the light source can move in parallel with the center of the optical axis of the television camera 15 while maintaining a constant angle θ. It should be noted that the larger the angle θ, the better the measurement accuracy, but from the viewpoint of mounting arrangement, it is practically within the range of 45 ° to 15 ° (preferably about 30 °).

1. An in-pipe welding apparatus, which is mounted on a carriage that is movable in the axial direction within the pipe and which teaches a welding position in advance and performs automatic welding, is rotatable about the pipe axis and movable in the pipe axis direction. A face plate is attached to the carriage, a welding torch guided and driven in the radial direction is attached to the face plate, and a television camera fixed in such a manner that the optical axis center is also aligned in the radial direction and is directed toward the inner wall of the tube. The optical axis center of the television camera and the optical axis center of the light source are provided with a light source which is guided and driven in parallel with the optical axis center of the television camera while maintaining a constant inclination angle with respect to the optical axis center. An angle sensor that is arranged so as to be located in the same plane parallel to the face plate and that detects the amount of rotation of the face plate, a displacement sensor that detects the amount of movement of the face plate in the tube axis direction, and a displacement that detects the amount of movement of the light source. With sensor And a displacement sensor for detecting the radial movement of the welding torch, a pipe welding position measuring device.
