JPH063094A - Searching device for laid object - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To perform a searching operation for a dangerous object laid safely and efficiently. CONSTITUTION:In a body 2 of a remote-controllable hovercraft 1, there are provided a laid-object searching device 7 for searching a laid object O embedded underground and a laid position marking device 8 for putting a mark on the ground surface by spraying coloring agent thereto based on a detection signal of the device 7. Since the hovercraft is floated by the air cushion pressure, a searching operation can be performed without imparting vibration to a laid object.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an exploration device for exploring a laying object such as a hazardous material laid in the ground, which is at risk of explosion due to contact or vibration.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a person holds an explorer in his / her hand and explores it on foot, or mounts the explorer on an automobile to perform the explorer.

[0003]

However, in the case of a dangerous material which may explode due to contact or vibration with the laying object, there is a risk that a person or an automobile may explode the laying object, so the exploration work is inefficient and dangerous. It was very good.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problems and to provide a laying object exploration device which enables exploration work safely and efficiently.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a laid object exploring apparatus of the present invention is a laid object exploring device for searching a laid object laid underground in a vehicle body of a remotely operable hovercraft. And a laying position marking device for marking the ground surface by spraying a coloring material on the basis of a detection signal of the laid object exploration device.

[0006]

According to the above construction, since the laying exploration device and the laying position marking device are provided on the vehicle body of the hovercraft that floats and moves by the air cushion pressure, vibrations and the like applied to the laying object are extremely small and the vehicle can move. Therefore, exploration work can be carried out safely and efficiently even if the installation is dangerous. Even if the car body lands on the ground due to a malfunction, the hovercraft will be operated remotely, so it will not cause a personal injury.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT An embodiment of a laid object exploration apparatus according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 is a hovercraft that sends air into a skirt 2a by a levitation fan (not shown) rotated by an engine 3 and floats by the air pressure. The hovercraft 1 has a propeller 4 propelled by an engine 3 and a steering propeller 4 for the vehicle body 2. The rudder 5 is provided.

The vehicle body 2 is provided with a laying object surveying device 7 capable of detecting the laying object O on the ground 6 below the vehicle body 2 and an exploration position marking device 8 for marking M by spraying a coloring material on the ground surface 6. ing. 9 is a television camera for remote control, 10 is a remote control device, and the radio waves transmitted and received from the wireless antenna 11 allow the vehicle body 2 to float or travel from the exploration base installed at a predetermined distance, and the locator 7 and the exploration position. The marking device 8 can be operated.

In the work for exploring the laying material in the above-mentioned structure, the hovercraft 1 is floated and moved to the exploration area, and the laying material exploring device 7 is used to explore the laying material O laid in the ground of the moving route to find the laying material. When O is detected, a coloring material is sprayed on the ground 6 automatically detected by the exploration position marking device 8 based on this detection signal to make the marking M.

According to the above configuration, since the hovercraft 1 floats and travels with the air cushion pressure, the surface pressure (wind pressure) applied to the ground 6 on the traveling route is small and about strong wind, and the laying object O depends on the contact pressure. Even dangerous explosives can travel safely on the ground. The hovercraft 1 and the exploration position marking device 8 that automatically detect and mark the laying object O are mounted on the hovercraft 1, and the hovercraft 1 is remotely operated to perform the exploration work of the laying object O. In addition, the exploration work can be performed extremely efficiently, and even if the hovercraft 1 lands on the surface of the ground due to a failure or an accident, no personal injury will occur.

[0011]

As described above, according to the laid object exploring apparatus of the present invention, the laid object exploring device and the laying position marking device are provided on the vehicle body of the hovercraft that floats and moves by the air cushion pressure. Vibration and the like given to the object is extremely small, and the vehicle can be moved and traveled, and exploration work can be performed safely and efficiently even if the object is dangerous. Even if the car body lands on the ground due to a malfunction, the hovercraft will be operated remotely, so it will not cause a personal injury.
