A tactile sensor 74 that detects obstacles etc. near the driving area! Equipped with:

Next, the operation of the present device having the above configuration will be explained. First, remote control using the console 2 will be explained.

A fire extinguishing water cannon truck 2 is placed near the fire site, and the engine switch 14 is operated to start the engine 66. Then, the travel control lever 21 is operated to move the fire extinguishing water cannon truck 2 forward toward the fire scene.

At this time, a video of the fire scene is captured by the TV camera 64 installed in the fire extinguishing water cannon 2, and this video signal is sent to the controller 61. The signal is transmitted to the antenna 7 of the console 4 via the signal converter 63 and the antenna 62. At the same time, various signals such as smoke, gas concentration, temperature, and obstacles from the sensor system 65 are also transmitted to the antenna 7 via the controller 61, signal converter 63, and antenna 62.

In addition to being wirelessly transmitted by the antenna 62, each of the above-mentioned signals is also sent to the interface 32 of the console 4 via the interface 70 and cable 60.

The following explanation will be given assuming that the operator of the console 4 has switched the operation off switch 13 to the wireless side.

Each of the signals received by the antenna 7 is sent to the signal converter 3
1 and is taken into the operation east controller 24. The video signal from the TV camera 64 is transmitted to the TV monitor 9-t:
In addition, each signal from the sensor system 65 is sent to the sensor monitor l.
are visually displayed on each page.

While viewing various information about the fire scene displayed on both monitors 9 and 11, the operator controls travel in the front, back, left and right directions using the travel control lever 21, and controls the water cannon 2A downward and left and right under -L using the water cannon operation lever 22. Directional control is performed, and the water foam changeover switch 23 and hose changeover switch 16 are operated appropriately to discharge either water or foam extinguishing agent from the water cannon 2A to the fire scene.

At this time, by operating the TV camera operation lever 18, as well as the focus adjustment switch 19 and the zoom adjustment switch 20, it is possible to properly grasp the discharge status of the extinguishing agent from the water cannon 2A, the extinguishing status, etc.

When the fire extinguishing work is completed, the travel control lever 2
Operate 1 to move the fire extinguishing water cannon 2 backwards and clean up the aftermath.

Note that the operation when the operation changeover switch 13 is switched to the wired side is also performed in the same manner as in the case described above.

Next, remote control using the portable operation box 5 will be explained.

The remote control in this case is basically the same as the case described above, but since the TV monitor 9 and sensor monitor 11kJ are not provided in the operation box 5, the fire extinguishing water cannon 2
This differs from the case described above in that the control is performed unilaterally from the control unit 5.

That is, in this case, the fire extinguishing water cannon truck 2 is placed at the fire scene, the engine 66 is started by the engine switch 43, and the engine 66 is controlled by the throttle switch 44 and the travel control lever 46 is used to control the fire extinguishing water cannon 2. Car 2 approaches the fire scene.

Next, the hose changeover switch 42 and the water bubble changeover switch 45
While operating the water cannon operation lever 47, the water cannon 2A is directed toward the fire site, and either water or fire extinguishing foam is discharged.

When performing remote control using the operation box 5, the operator can freely carry and move the operation box 5, so that fire extinguishing activities can be carried out while taking into account the operator's visual recognition of the fire scene.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the invention.

For example, although not mentioned in the above embodiment, various equipment functions such as a self-defense fire extinguishing agent spraying device to improve the fire extinguishing function of a fire extinguishing water cannon, wiper lights, and an emergency stop function can be remotely controlled. It is also possible to control.

It is also possible to remotely control auxiliary equipment such as public address equipment and sound collectors to assist firefighting efforts.
