Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a robot itself to make ON/OFF of an electric source by supporting an extreme end detecting part with a flexible spring, providing a display part capable of visually confirming existence of voltage from every direction, and providing a main switch on a gripper holding part. SOLUTION: A tip end detecting part 1 is supported with a main body 7 through a flexible spring 2 and an insulator 6. A main switch 4 fitted to a gripper holding part 5 always projects from the gripper holding part 5 by spring force, the main switch 4 retreats by pressing with a gripper so as to be ON. Hereby, ON/OFF of an electric source can be performed by a robot itself. The flexible spring 2 absorbs impact force received when the tip detecting part 1 strongly collides with a transformer, electric wire, and the like, and prevents the main body 7 from being injured. Further a display part 3 is covered with a transparent plastics material, four light emitting diodes 8 are built therein respective ones in the respective four directions, and ON/OFF of the electric source can be visually confirmed by existence of the emission from every direction.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a robot operating voltage detector designed to detect the location of a voltage in a charging section such as a transformer or an electric wire of a high-voltage distribution line in an uninterruptible construction. is there.

[0002]

In the conventional voltage detector, an operator turns on a main switch for starting a light emitting diode, grips a hand grip portion at the rear of the voltage detector with a hand wearing insulating gloves, and detects a tip of the voltage detector. To or from a charged part such as a transformer or an electric wire, so that the voltage at the charged part is determined by the presence or absence of a light-emitting diode built into the circuit so that it can be seen only from one direction in front of the operator. Since the presence or absence of the location is detected, there are the following drawbacks when a conventional electric detector is operated by a robot.

Even if the gripper of the robot (corresponding to the hand of an operator) holds the handgrip of the electric detector, the main switch cannot be turned on. Therefore, the operator must turn on the main switch in advance. There is. In addition, when the operator handles, when the power detection work is completed, the main switch can be turned off immediately to minimize battery consumption, but in the case of unmanned work by a robot,
After the power detection work is completed, the power detector can be placed in a tool storage area mounted on the robot by remote control, but the main switch cannot be turned off. Therefore, the main switch remains ON, during which the robot performs the next various operations, and when the next power detection operation starts, for example, when the various operations take time, Causes a problem that the battery is already exhausted and the detector does not operate. When the light emitting diode of the voltage detector is located on the opposite side of the robot driver, it is not possible to confirm whether or not the light is on. If the detection unit hits the charging unit strongly, the detector will be damaged.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the drawbacks described in the prior art. The power can be turned on and off by the robot itself, the lighting of the light emitting diode can be confirmed from all directions, and the detection unit can be used. It is an object of the present invention to provide a robot operation voltage detector that can reduce an excessive impact force applied.

[0004]

According to the present invention, there is provided a power detector for robot operation, wherein a tip detecting portion is supported by a flexible spring, a light emitting diode is incorporated in all directions, and the location of a voltage can be visually checked from all directions. A display unit is provided, and a main switch is provided on the gripper-grip unit so that the main switch can be turned on and off by the robot itself.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
Is a tip detecting portion, which is supported by the main body 7 via the insulator 6 by the flexible spring 2. Reference numeral 4 denotes a main switch, which is attached to the gripper-grip portion 5 and normally projects from the gripper-grip portion 4 by a spring force. Is retracted, and the main switch 4 is turned on. The flexible spring 2
Has an effect of absorbing the impact force received when the tip detecting section 1 strongly hits a transformer, an electric wire, or the like, and prevents the main body 7 from being damaged. The shape of the gripper-grip 5 is not particularly limited, and the gripper of the robot is not limited.
Any shape can be applied as long as it can be securely gripped.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 3 denotes a display unit covered with a transparent plastic material or the like, in which a total of four light emitting diodes 8 are incorporated, one for each side. Therefore, when the light emitting diode 8 emits light,
It can be checked visually from all sides.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the voltage detector for robot operation shown in this embodiment, 9 is a test switch, 10 is a battery, 11 is a level detection circuit, 12 is an integration circuit, 13 is a flicker circuit, and 14 is a flicker circuit. It is an amplifier circuit. If necessary, for example, a beep sounding function can be added.

[0008]

As described above, the present invention has the following advantages. The main switch can be turned on and off by the robot itself. Therefore, the consumption of the battery can be minimized as in the case of the manual operation by the operator. The location of the voltage can be visually checked from all directions. The excessive impact force of the detection unit is absorbed, and damage to the main body can be prevented.
