Description

Inspection support device, inspection support system, inspection support method, and inspection support program

The present invention relates to an inspection support apparatus, an inspection support system, an inspection support method, and an inspection support program.
This application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2010-225709 filed in Japan on October 05, 2010, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

In the factory, equipment such as rotating equipment, heating and rolling equipment, and static equipment is installed, and periodic inspection of these equipment is necessary for safe operation of the factory. Some of these instruments are remotely monitored by systems such as DCS (Distributed Control System), but they are not subject to remote monitoring and can be measured only on site. There are also inspection items that cannot be inspected even with on-site measuring instruments.

In order to confirm the measured values of the on-site measuring instruments and the inspection items that cannot be inspected even with the on-site measuring instruments, the workers visit the factory equipment site and check the results on the specified format paper on which the inspection items are described. Fill in. In this way, the facilities in the factory are inspected.

Alternatively, an apparatus that supports an inspection work by recognizing a voice read by a worker at the time of meter reading of an on-site measuring instrument and converting a voice signal generated by the voice recognition into data that can be recognized by a computer has been proposed.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 11-228047 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2009-32206

In the method of filling the inspection results on the paper, there will be a mistake in the entry by the worker. Therefore, accurate inspection results are not accumulated, and it is difficult to obtain accurate performance information such as aging deterioration of equipment necessary for safe operation of factory equipment.

Also, in the case of a device that recognizes a measured value read by a worker by voice, if the worker reads out the measured value by mistake, the wrong measured value is stored in the computer.

Furthermore, since the number of measuring instruments to be measured is large, the worker may forget to measure the measuring instruments.

Hereinafter, [1] inspection support device, [2] inspection result storage device, [3] inspection information, [4] failure cause information, [5] measuring instrument or device position information, [6] inspection result information, and [7] The embodiment according to the present invention will be described in order, divided into inspection support processing flows.

The inspection support device [1] described below includes inspection information [3], failure cause information [4], measuring instrument or device position information [5], and inspection result information [6] from the inspection result storage device [2]. Then, an inspection support process [7] is performed in which the measurement value of the measuring instrument is acquired by image recognition or the state of the apparatus is acquired by voice recognition from an operator.

[1] Inspection Support Device First, the inspection support device according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of a worker 5 provided with an inspection support device 100.
The worker 5 shown in FIG. 1 wears the helmet 50 provided with the camera 20, wears the voice input / output unit 10 in his ear, and wears the processing terminal 30 in the safety belt 60. As shown in FIG. 1, the worker 5 can be equipped with an inspection support device without having anything in his hand. As will be described later, the inspection support device 100 automatically acquires the measurement value of the pressure gauge G1 based on the photographed image acquired by the camera 20 only by the operator 5 facing the pressure gauge G1.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of a hardware configuration of the inspection support apparatus. The inspection support apparatus 100 supports an inspection operation of an inspected apparatus having a plurality of measuring instruments, and includes a voice input / output unit 10, a camera 20, and a processing terminal 30, as shown in FIGS. The processing terminal 30 includes a communication unit 33, a display unit 34, a processing unit 32, an input unit 35, and a storage unit 31. The camera 20 photographs each measuring instrument (for example, the pressure gauges G1 and G2 shown in FIG. 1). The display unit 34 displays support information for supporting the inspection work by the worker (inspector) 5. The storage unit 31 stores inspection information including identification information (such as an identification number of a measuring instrument and a name of a measuring instrument) for identifying each pressure gauge G1 and G2 to be measured. The processing unit 32 stores the measurement values of the pressure gauges G1 and G2 in the storage unit 31 and displays the identification information of the unmeasured measuring instrument on the display unit 34.

[1.1] Voice Input / Output Unit As shown in FIG. 2, the voice input / output unit 10 includes the inner ear microphone 11 and the communication unit 18, and sends the voice of the worker 5 to the processing terminal 30. The voice signal received from the processing terminal 30 and output from the processing terminal 30 is output to the worker 5 by the inner ear microphone 11. The inner ear microphone 11 has both functions of voice input to the processing terminal 30 and voice output from the processing terminal 30 to the worker, and is mounted in the ear hole of the worker 5 as shown in FIG. When the worker 5 utters the sound, the eardrum vibrates, so that the sound propagates through the air in the ear canal. The inner ear microphone 11 converts this sound into a digital signal and outputs the digital signal to the communication unit 18. The communication unit 18 inputs the digital signal output from the inner ear microphone 11 to the processing terminal 30. Further, the inner ear microphone 11 outputs the digital signal output from the communication unit 18 as sound, and outputs sound to the worker 5 by vibrating the eardrum of the worker 5. For example, a technique described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-157292 (an earphone that exhibits a microphone function through air conduction in the ear canal) can be applied to the inner ear microphone 11.

The communication unit 18 transmits and receives audio signals to and from the processing terminal 30 wirelessly or by wire. Examples of wireless communication technologies applicable to the communication unit 18 include infrared communication such as IrDA (Infrared Data Association), Bluetooth (registered trademark), wireless LAN (Local Area Network), UWB (Ultra Wide Band), WUSB, and the like. There are technologies such as (Wireless Universal Serial Bus), ZigBee (registered trademark), and FM transmitter.

Since the voice input / output unit 10 enables voice exchange between the processing terminal 30 and the worker 5, the worker 5 uses the voice input / output unit 10 without operating the processing terminal 30 by hand. Thus, the processing terminal 30 can be operated orally. For example, the start or stop of the processing terminal 30 is also performed by the worker 5 saying “start” or “stop”. In addition, the measurement values of the pressure gauges G1 and G2 recognized by the processing terminal 30 can be input to the storage unit 31 by voice. That is, the processing unit 32 notifies the operator 5 of the “measured values” of the pressure gauges G 1 and G 2 by voice output from the voice input / output unit 10. Then, the worker 5 generates a sound permitting storage of the measured value (for example, a sound “confirmed”), and the processing unit 32 performs measurement when the sound is input to the sound input / output unit 10. The value is stored in the storage unit 312. Further, the processing unit 32 may output both the “identification information” and the “measured value” from the voice input / output unit 10 by voice.

[1.2] Camera The camera 20 is disposed on the head of the worker 5, and has a lens (not shown) having a predetermined focal length and a solid-state imaging device (not shown) such as a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor. ), And the image passing through the lens is imaged on a solid-state imaging device and is output as image information including a plurality of pixels. The camera 20 transmits the captured image information to the processing terminal 30 via a communication unit (not shown) similar to the communication unit 18 of the voice input / output unit 10.
It is important to actually look at the device because there are some inspection items that are insufficient to monitor the measuring instrument with a camera from a remote location. As in the present embodiment, when the worker 5 goes to a place where the pressure gauges (measuring instruments) G1 and G2 are actually arranged, it is possible to check inspection items that are not sufficient only by remote monitoring. .

[1.3] Processing Terminal The processing terminal 30 includes a storage unit 31, a processing unit 32, a communication unit 33, a display unit 34, an input unit 35, a charging unit 36, and a sensor 37.

The storage unit 31 is, for example, a DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) or an SSD (Solid State Drive) using a flash memory. Data stored in the storage unit 31 will be described later with reference to FIG.
Since the number of measuring instruments that can be inspected by the inspection support apparatus 100 is assumed to be a very large number of several tens to several hundreds, the storage unit 31 in the processing terminal 30 includes a plurality of measuring instruments. Only instruments that are checked daily are stored. Moreover, when the measuring instrument to measure changes with days, it is also possible to replace the measuring instrument memorize | stored in the memory | storage part 31. FIG.

The processing unit 32 loads the data from the storage unit 31 by executing the program stored in the storage unit 31, calculates the loaded data, and stores the calculation result in the storage unit 31. The processing unit 32 is, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit). Specifically, the processing unit 32 executes a program stored in the storage unit 31 to perform voice recognition processing, measurement value recognition processing, and inspection support processing. Each process will be described later.

The communication unit 33 has the same function as the communication unit 18 of the inner ear microphone 11 and performs data communication with the camera 20 and the voice input / output unit 10.

The display unit 34 is a display device such as a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), for example. The processing unit 32 outputs a display drive signal for driving the display unit 34 to the display unit 34.

The input unit 35 is an operation button that is manually operated by the worker 5, and outputs an input signal generated by pressing the operation button to the processing unit 32. The input signal is, for example, a start or stop input of a voice recognition process or a measuring instrument recognition process, which will be described later, a confirmation input for confirming recognition of a measurement value, a re-recognition input for re-recognizing a measurement value, or the like.

The charging unit 36 includes a battery, and when the processing terminal 30 is placed in a cradle described later, the battery 36 charges the battery with electricity supplied from the cradle, and stores information stored in the storage unit 31 and an inspection result described later. It operates as a communication unit when performing synchronization with information stored in the storage device 200.

In the present embodiment, the latitude / longitude information does not necessarily have to be received from the GPS satellite, but the sensor 37 can also receive the latitude / longitude information from the GPS satellite and recognize the position of the processing terminal 30. The sensor 37 has an acceleration sensor, and can detect in which direction the processing terminal 30 is arranged with respect to the longitude / latitude information.

[1.3.1] Voice Recognition Processing The processing unit 32 performs voice recognition on the voice signal transmitted from the voice input / output unit 10 and received by the communication unit 21. The processing unit 32 extracts the content spoken by the worker 5 as character data from the audio signal transmitted from the audio input / output unit 10 using the acoustic model and the language model. The acoustic model represents what frequency characteristics each phoneme to be recognized has, and is associated with what language the phoneme corresponds to. The processing unit 32 can recognize phonemes corresponding to words using this acoustic model. The language model is data representing the appearance probability of each wording. The appearance probability is the probability that the next appearing word will appear after that word on the assumption that a certain word is recognized. By using the language model, the speech recognition efficiency is improved as compared with the case of performing speech recognition based only on the acoustic model.

3A to 3D are diagrams showing an example of a measuring instrument to be inspected. 3A to 3D show pressure gauges G1 and G2, a thermometer G3, and a liquid level gauge G4.

[1.3.2] Measuring instrument recognition processing The processing unit 32 uses the image information received from the camera 20 to identify the pressure gauges G1, G2, thermometer G3, and liquid level gauge G4 included in the inspection information described later ( For example, the identification number of the measuring instrument) is recognized. For example, the processing unit 32 divides the image into certain regions, binarizes the divided regions, and extracts character elements. The processing unit 32 then matches the data obtained by quantifying the features of the extracted character elements with the feature amount data obtained by quantifying the features of the standard characters stored in the storage unit 31, thereby including individual images included in the image. Recognize the characters. By recognizing the character, the processing unit 32 recognizes the identification information of the measuring instrument included in the image information. Specifically, when the camera 20 photographs the pressure gauges G1, G2, the thermometer G3, and the liquid level gauge G4, the processing unit “PG-101” of the pressure gauge G1 and “PG-102” of the pressure gauge G2. ”,“ TG-101 ”of the pressure gauge G3, and“ LG-101 ”of the liquid level gauge G4.

[1.3.3] Measurement value recognition processing When the processing unit 32 recognizes the identification numbers (identification information) of the measuring instruments of the pressure gauges G1, G2, the thermometer G3, and the liquid level gauge G4, the recognized identification number is predetermined. The pressure gauges G1 and G2, the thermometer G3, and the liquid level gauge G4 are identified by comparing with the information in the image area.
In the case of the pressure gauges G1, G2, and the thermometer G3, the processing unit 32 performs pattern matching between the data obtained by performing image processing on the pointers N1 to N3 in the image area and quantifying the data and the feature amount data. Recognize existence and their orientation. That is, the measurement ranges of the pressure gauges G1, G2, and the thermometer G3 associated with the identification information of the pressure gauges G1, G2, and the thermometer G3 and the orientations of the recognized hands N1 to N3 are recognized. In addition, the measurement ranges are indicated by letters in the pressure gauges G1, G2, and the thermometer G3. By recognizing an image of this character in the same manner as the measuring instrument recognition process, the processing unit 32 recognizes the measurement range of the pressure gauges G1, G2 and the thermometer G3. For example, as shown in FIGS. 3A to 3C, when it is known in advance that the pointers N1 to N3 of the pressure gauges G1 and G2 and the thermometer G3 are present below the identification number, the processing unit 32 recognizes the recognized identification. The direction of the pointers N1 to N3 in the lower image area with respect to the information and the measurement ranges of the pressure gauges G1 and G2 and the thermometer G3 are image-recognized. In the case of the level gauge G4 shown in FIG. 3D, the measurement range of the level gauge G4 and the height position of the liquid level N4 within this measurement range are image-recognized.
That is, the processing unit 32 identifies each of the pressure gauges G1, G2, the thermometer G3, and the liquid level gauge G4 based on the image information of the pressure gauges G1, G2, the thermometer G3, and the liquid level gauge G4 taken by the camera 20. Recognize the measured values of each pressure gauge G1, G2, thermometer G3, liquid level gauge G4, and correspond these measured values to each identification number (PG-101, PG-102, TG-101, LG-101) Then, the data is stored in the storage unit 31.
The case where there are four measuring devices has been described above. Actually, there are several tens to several hundreds of measuring devices, and in these measuring devices, the same recognition is performed by the processing unit 32, and the measured values are stored in the storage unit 31. Is remembered.

Next, a method for calculating the measurement value of the measuring instrument will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 3A to 3C, the pressure gauges G1, G2, and the thermometer G3 are provided with markings P1a, P2a, and P3a at the respective graduation positions. As shown in FIG. Is provided with a marking P4a on at least one of the upper limit (+ 20%) and the lower limit (−50%) (in the illustrated example, the marking P4a is the upper limit). In the processing terminal 30, a scale plate corresponding to the identification numbers PG-101, PG-102 and TG-101 and a level display corresponding to the identification number LG-101 are registered. With these configurations, when the camera 20 recognizes the identification number “PG-101” of the pressure gauge G1, the processing unit 32 recognizes an image of the pointer N1 of the pressure gauge located below the identification number “PG-101”. The pressure range of the pressure gauge recognized from the pressure gauge G1 is recognized as “0 to 2 MPa”. Then, the measured value “0.85 MPa” is calculated from the marking P1a and the direction of the pointer N1.
Similarly, the pressure gauge G2 and the thermometer G3 calculate the measured value “0.6 MPa” from the direction of the marking P2a and the pointer N2, and calculate the temperature “125 ° C.” from the direction of the marking P3a and the pointer N3. In the case of the liquid level gauge G4, the measured value “−20%” is calculated from the marking P4a and the liquid level N4.

As described above, the processing unit 32 determines the pressure gauges G1, G2, the thermometer G3, and the liquid level gauge based on the image information of the pressure gauges G1, G2, the thermometer G3, and the liquid level gauge G4. The identification information and the measured values of the pressure gauges G1, G2, the thermometer G3, and the liquid level gauge G4 are recognized, and these measured values are assigned to the identification numbers (PG-101, PG-102, TG-101, LG-101). And stored in the storage unit 31.
Further, the positions and the number of markings are not limited to the example described above, and three more markings P1b, P1c, and P1d may be further provided on the scale plate as shown in the pressure gauge G1 in FIG. 3A. In the case of this configuration, the distance D1 from the marking P1b to the marking P1c and the distance D2 from the marking P1a to the marking P1d are stored in the storage unit 31 in advance. Then, the camera 20 captures the scale plate, and the processing unit 32 has the distance from the marking P1b to the marking P1c and the distance from the marking P1a to the marking P1d approximate to the distance D1 stored in the storage unit 31 ( That is, it is determined whether the measuring instrument is photographed from the front. If approximate, the processing unit 32 calculates a measurement value from the marking P1a and the direction of the pointer N1. Thereby, since the camera 20 can recognize the position of the pointer N1 accurately, it is possible to calculate the measurement value with higher accuracy.

[1.3.4] Inspection support processing The inspection information described above includes the normal value range information of the pressure gauges G1, G2 and the thermometer G3, and the failure cause information regarding the failure causes of the pressure gauges G1, G2 and the thermometer G3. It is preferable that it is further included.
When the processing unit 32 determines that at least a part of the measurement values of the pressure gauges G1, G2, the thermometer G3, and the liquid level gauge G4 is outside the normal value range as the inspection support process, Failure cause information assumed based on the measured value is notified to the worker 5 by outputting at least one of voice and image. Specifically, past cases are registered in the processing terminal 30 as failure cause information, and items (failure causes) considered based on the measurement values are displayed on the display unit 34. The worker 5 checks according to the displayed item and identifies the cause of the failure. The cause of failure will be described in failure cause information described later.
Further, the failure cause information includes an identification number (identification information) of an additional measuring instrument to be additionally measured that is assumed based on the measured value when the processing unit 32 determines that the measured value is outside the normal value range. ), And the processing unit 32 preferably adds the inspection of the additional measuring instrument to the item of the inspection work. In this configuration, the identification number of the additional measuring instrument is stored in the storage unit 31. Thereby, when the measured value is outside the normal value range, at least one of the display number and the voice of the identification number of the additional measuring instrument is executed as the item of the inspection work, and the worker inspects the displayed measuring instrument.

Moreover, it is preferable that the failure cause information includes the measurement value history of the pressure gauges G1, G2, the thermometer G3, and the liquid level gauge G4. In this case, when the processing unit 32 refers to the failure cause information and determines that the measurement value history has a downward trend or an upward trend, the processing unit 32 displays and voices the downward trend or the upward trend as support information on the display unit 34. At least one of voice output from the input / output unit 10 is executed.
Specifically, even when the measured value is within the normal value range, the measured value history is first referred to. In the measured value history, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, the horizontal axis represents measurement time, and the vertical axis represents the measured value. A measured value M1 at the time of previous inspection (time: T1), a measured value M2 at the time of previous inspection (time: T2), and a measured value M3 at the time of current inspection (time: T3) are displayed. The measured values M1, M2, and M3 are all within the range between the upper limit value (HL) and the lower limit value (LL), but are increasing. At this time, the processing unit 32 causes at least one of the display on the display unit 34 and the audio output from the audio input / output unit 10 to be in an upward trend. Furthermore, the processing unit 32 extrapolates a time T4 that will exceed the upper limit value based on the three measurement values M1, M2, and M3. The estimated time T4 is displayed on the display unit 34, and the worker 5 knows that treatment such as repair of the device is necessary by the time T4.
As described above, since the inspection information includes failure cause information, the problem of the apparatus can be solved in advance. In addition, it is necessary to determine whether or not there is an abnormality by a subtle change in the measurement value of the measuring instrument. In this case, since the measurement value history is stored in the storage unit 31, it is possible to reliably transmit information on the measuring instrument to the next worker even if the worker 5 is replaced.

The processing unit 32 is further provided as an inspection support process. When the processing unit 32 includes an uninspected unmeasured measuring instrument that is not yet stored in the storage unit 31 among the pressure gauges G1, G2, and the thermometer G3, the processing unit 32 32 displays the identification number of the unmeasured measuring instrument on the display unit 34. Further, the voice input / output unit 10 may cause the worker 5 to output the voice of the identification number of the unmeasured measuring instrument as support information. Further, the processing unit 32 displays an error message on the display unit 34 or an error alarm when the operator 5 measures a measuring instrument that does not require measurement (a measuring instrument other than the measuring instrument stored in the storage unit 31). May be output from the voice input / output unit 10.
Details of the inspection support process will be described later together with an explanation of information stored in the storage unit 31 and a processing flow.

The worker 5 faces the pressure gauge G1, for example. The inspection support apparatus 100 recognizes the pressure gauge identification information “PG-101” and outputs a recognition sound to the voice input / output unit 10 when recognizing the measurement value “0.8 MPa” of the pressure gauge G1. Then, the measurement value recognition is output to the worker 5 by voice or image. Thereafter, the measured value “0.8 MPa” is automatically input to the inspection support apparatus 100. Similarly, the operator 5 faces the pressure gauge G2, and the measured value of the pressure gauge G2 is input to the inspection support apparatus 100. As described above, the worker 5 inputs the measurement values from the plurality of measuring instruments, confirms the plurality of input values on the display unit 34 of the processing terminal 30, and performs the definite input by the input unit 35. The automatic measurement value input is confirmed by the operator 5 by the processing terminal 30.
In addition, after inputting the measured value for every measuring instrument, you may make a definite input with the input part 35. FIG. In addition, although a confirmation input operation is not necessarily required, the measurement value can be reliably input to the inspection support apparatus 100 by performing the confirmation input with the input unit 35.

The secondary storage device 240 is a device that can store programs and data stored in the storage unit 220 and can retain information even when power is not supplied. The secondary storage device 240 is a disk array using a magnetic disk, an SSD using a flash memory, or the like. The communication unit 230 transmits the inspection information to the inspection support device 100 and receives each measurement value stored in the storage unit 31 of the inspection support device 100. Specifically, the communication unit 230 transmits and receives data to and from the processing terminal 30 connected to the network 400 and connected to the cradle 420.

The drive device 250 is a device that reads and writes a storage medium 290 such as a CD-ROM (Compact Disc Only Memory), a DVD (Digital Versatile Disc), and the like.

Note that the storage medium 290 can store a program. The drive device 250 reads a program from the storage medium 290 set in the drive device 250. The processing unit 210 stores the program read by the drive device 250 in the storage unit 220 or the secondary storage device 240 and transmits the program to the processing terminal 30 via the communication unit 230 and the cradle 420. Therefore, the program stored in the processing terminal 30 can be provided as the storage medium 290.

FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a memory map of the storage unit. The storage unit 31 stores inspection information 600, failure cause information 700, inspection result information 800, measuring instrument or device position information 900, sound and image recognition information 950, and a program 990. The program 990 is executed by the processing unit 32 and transmitted from the inspection result storage device 200 via the cradle 420. The speech and image recognition information 950 includes feature amount data, a language model, an acoustic model, and the like, which are information necessary for speech recognition, measurement device recognition, and measurement value recognition. The inspection information 600, failure cause information 700, inspection result information 800, measuring instrument or device position information 900 will be described below.

[3] Inspection Information FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of inspection information. The inspection information 600 shown in FIG. 7 includes “line number”, “measurement device or device identification information”, “normal value range”, “measurement device measurement value”, “device inspection item”, and “device inspection result”. It has a row number column 601, a measuring instrument or device identification information column 603, a normal value range column 605, a measuring instrument measurement value column 607, an apparatus inspection item column 609, and an apparatus inspection result column 611. Data having a corresponding relationship is input to each line of the inspection information 600.

In the line of inspection information 600, inspection items to be inspected by the worker are shown. In the inspection information 600, the inspection results collected by the operator using the inspection support apparatus 100 for the inspection items are registered.

In the inspection information 600, when the inspection support device 100 is set in the cradle 420, the previous inspection information 600 is transmitted to the inspection result storage device 200, and the next inspection information 600 is stored in the storage unit 31. The In the newly stored inspection information 600, data of inspection items of measuring instruments to be inspected by the operator 5 in one inspection operation is input.

When the operator 5 does not inspect the measuring instrument to be measured, that is, the processing unit 32 is still stored in the storage unit 31 with respect to the data of the inspection item of the measuring instrument input to the inspection information 600. When it is determined that there is no unmeasured measuring instrument, it is preferable to output a warning (alarm) to the worker 5 via at least one of the voice input / output unit 10 and the display unit 34. The timing for outputting the warning is, for example, 1) When the sensor 37 recognizes from the latitude / longitude information of the GPS that the worker 5 has moved away from the device or measuring instrument to be inspected by a certain distance 2) When the operation is completed by operating the input unit 35 even though there are uninspected items, 3) When the inspection support device 100 is set in the cradle 420 even though there are uninspected items, and 4) in each room For example, when the measurement of the measuring instrument is completed.
Since 1) uses GPS, it may be difficult to output a warning if there is a worker 5 in the basement. Therefore, 2) to 4) are preferred. Especially, 4) should be checked next. Since the room may be located far away, the unmeasured measuring instrument can be recognized before the worker 5 goes to the next room. Therefore, it is possible to reduce time loss and physical strength consumption, which is effective.
Here, an example of the inspection support apparatus having the function 4) will be described.
A room number (section identification number) is displayed inside the door of the entrance / exit of the room (section) where a plurality of measuring instruments are arranged. The camera 20 captures the room number displayed in the room. In addition, the processing unit 32 causes the display unit 34 to display a warning indicating that an unmeasured measuring instrument remains in the room as support information.
In addition, when the processing unit 32 determines that the measurement of each measuring instrument in the room is completed, the processing unit 32 displays the room number assigned to the other section where the device to be checked next is arranged on the display unit 34. It is preferable to display.

The inspection items collected by the operator using the inspection support apparatus 100 include “inspection items for measuring instruments” and “inspection items for apparatus states” that are not measuring instruments. In the following, description will be made separately for "inspection items for measuring instruments" and "inspection items for apparatus status".

[3.1] Inspection item of measuring device “Measurement device or device identification information” indicates a measuring device or device to be checked, and “Normal value range” indicates a normal value range of the measuring device to be checked.

When the inspection support apparatus 100 recognizes the measurement instrument identification information from the image captured by the camera 20, the inspection support apparatus 100 inputs the measurement value recognized in the "measurement measurement value" on the same line as the recognized measurement instrument identification information.

The recognized measuring instrument identification information includes, for example, the identification numbers “PG-101” and “PG-102” displayed on the upper portions of the pressure gauges G1 and G2 and the thermometer G3 which are measuring instruments shown in FIGS. 3A to 3D. , “TG-101”, “LG-101”. The recognized measurement values are, for example, the measurement values of the pressure gauges G1, G2, the thermometer G3, and the liquid level gauge G4 shown in FIGS. 3A to 3D.

“Normal value range” is a reference value for determining whether or not an image-recognized measurement value is an abnormal value. When the recognized measurement value of the measuring instrument is outside the normal value range, the inspection support apparatus 100 reads out the failure cause associated with the recognized measuring instrument identification information with reference to the failure cause information 700 as shown in FIG. Then, at least one of the display on the display unit 34 and the audio output by the audio input / output unit 10 is executed. The inspection support apparatus 100 executes this processing in response to an input to the measurement information inspection information 600.

In the example shown in FIG. 7, the measurement value “0.6 MPa” in the second row is below the normal value range “0.7 to 0.9 MPa”. Therefore, the processing unit 32 outputs the cause of the failure to the worker as a sound or an image.

[3.2] Inspection Item of Device State In addition, the inspection information preferably includes an inspection item outside the measuring instrument that is a confirmation item other than the measuring instrument, that is, an inspection item of the device. The “device inspection item” indicates an inspection item for the device to be inspected, which is input to the “measurement device or device identification information string” by the worker 5. When the inspection information includes an apparatus inspection item, the failure cause information is, for example, an inspection item to be inspected visually by the worker 5 "oil leak from the pump" or an inspection item to be inspected by the olfaction of the operator 5 Such as “Odor from pump” and “Motor casing amplitude” measured by the operator 5 using a vibration meter, etc. When the voice of the worker 5 regarding the device inspection item is input to the voice input / output unit 10, the processing unit 32 recognizes the inspection result regarding the device inspection item based on this voice. Further, when the processing unit 32 determines that the inspection result indicates an abnormality of the apparatus, the processing unit 32 displays at least the cause of the failure as support information on the display unit 34 and outputs the voice from the voice input / output unit 10. Run one.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of an apparatus to be inspected. A motor device 300 that is an inspection target device shown in FIG. 8 is a device having a motor casing 305 and an oil pit 310. As shown in FIG. 8, a device that does not have a measuring instrument is also an inspection target.

As shown in FIG. 7, “Equipment inspection result” is an inspection result for “Equipment inspection item (outside measuring instrument inspection item)”. For example, the inspection result for the device inspection item “oil leakage from the pump P101” is “present” or “not present”, and the inspection result for the device inspection item “motor casing amplitude” is “50 μm”.

[4] Failure Cause Information FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of failure cause information. The failure cause information 700 shown in FIG. 9 includes a row number column 701 to which “row number”, “measurement device or device identification information”, and “failure cause information” are input, a measurement device or device identification information column 703, a failure It has a cause information column 705. In each row of the failure cause information 700, data having a corresponding relationship is input.

In the failure cause information, the cause of failure that may occur when the measuring instrument is out of the normal value range is input. For example, when the measured value of the pressure gauge PG-101 is outside the normal value range, the cause of failure is “oil leakage from the piping”, “liquid leakage to the oil pit”, “the oil level in the oil tank is low”, etc. There is. The processing unit 32 outputs the cause of the failure as a sound or an image via the sound input / output unit 10 or the display unit 34. As a result, the worker 5 not only simply outputs the sound or image of the abnormality, but also checks the sound or the image output against the actual state of the device to check what is the cause of the abnormality at the time of the abnormality. can do. In particular, such support processing is useful for the worker 5 who does not know the response processing when an abnormality occurs.

[5] Inspection Result Information FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of inspection result information. The inspection result information 800 illustrated in FIG. 10 includes a row number column 801, a measuring device or device identification information column 803, and an inspection result column for inputting “row number”, “measurement device or device identification information”, and “inspection result”, respectively. 805. Data having a corresponding relationship is input to each row of the inspection result information 800.

In the example shown in FIG. 10, the measurement value “130 ° C.” that is the latest measurement data (the nth data, n is a natural number) in the third row is within the normal value range shown in FIG. However, the (n-1) -th and (n-2) -th data, which are measurement data at the time of the past inspection, tend to rise to “110 ° C.” and “120 ° C.”, respectively. The processing unit 32 generates an interpolation curve from the past measurement data and the latest measurement data, and predicts that the measurement value after the next inspection exceeds the normal value range because the generated interpolation curve tends to increase or decrease. In the case where it is done, the worker 5 is sounded or outputted as an image indicating that the measurement value has an upward tendency or a downward tendency. The processing unit 32 outputs a sound or an image indicating that the measurement value has an upward trend or a downward trend, and also outputs a cause of failure related to the measuring instrument determined to be an upward trend or a downward trend to the worker 5 by voice or image output. Good.

As described above, only when the measurement value is out of the normal range, the sound value or the image is not output, but a future abnormality is predicted and the sound or image is output to the worker 5 so that the measurement value or the device is It is possible to respond in advance before it becomes abnormal. In particular, such support processing is useful for the worker 5 who cannot predict the future apparatus from the measured values.

[6] Measuring device or device position information The device position information 900 is not necessarily required. However, as described above, when the sensor 37 receives latitude / longitude information from a GPS satellite, the device position information 900 is stored in the storage unit 31. Preferably it is stored. In this case, the measuring instrument or device position information 900 shown in FIG. 11 includes a row number column 901 for inputting “row number”, “measuring device or device identification information”, and “measuring device or device position”. A device identification information column 903 and a measuring instrument or device position column 905 are included. Data corresponding to each other is input to each row of the measuring instrument or device position information 900.

[7] Inspection Support Processing Flow Next, the inspection support method according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. This inspection support method is executed by the processing terminal 30 and advances the inspection of the measuring instrument and the parts other than the measuring instrument in the order indicated by the line number 601 in FIG. In addition, the above-described 1) to 4) are given as examples of the warning output timing when it is determined that there is an unmeasured measuring instrument in the processing unit 32, but in this embodiment, “ An inspection support method using “when measurement by the measuring instrument is completed” will be described.
The processing terminal 30 includes inspection information 600 stored in the inspection result storage device 200, failure cause information 700, inspection result information 800, measuring instrument or device position information 900, sound and image recognition information 950, and a program 990. The information is transmitted from the storage device 200 and stored. When the worker 5 starts the voice recognition process or the image recognition process of the processing terminal 30, the processing terminal 30 starts to recognize the measurement value of the measuring instrument. This program 990 stores a procedure for recognizing the identification number (identification information) and measurement value of each measuring instrument based on the image information captured by the camera 20, and the measurement value in association with the identification number of each measuring instrument. The procedure to be stored in the unit 31, the procedure for determining the presence or absence of an unmeasured measuring instrument that is not yet stored in the storage unit 31 among the measuring instruments, and the determination that there is an unmeasured measuring instrument. And a procedure for displaying the identification number of the measuring instrument on the display unit 34 as support information.

As shown in FIG. 12, the worker 5 takes the processing terminal 30 from the cradle 420 (step S01). When the worker 5 enters the room, first, the room number is photographed by the camera 20 (first photographing step: step S02). The processing unit 32 determines whether or not the room number (section identification number) captured by the camera 20 is the room number in the inspection order (step S03). When the photographed room number is not the room number in the inspection order (“No” in step S03), the correct room number is notified by at least one of display and sound (step 04). After the notification, the process returns to step 02. When the room number is the room number in the inspection order (“Yes” in step S03), the apparatus is inspected (step S05).

The details of step S05 will be described with reference to FIG. 13. First, the processing unit 32 determines whether or not the device to be inspected next has a measuring instrument (step S21). When it has a measuring instrument (“Yse” in step S21), the worker 5 stands in front of the pressure gauge G1, and the camera 20 photographs the identification number and measuring instrument of the pressure gauge G1 (imaging process: step S22). Based on the image information of the measuring instrument photographed by the operator 5, the processing terminal 30 recognizes an image of the pointer N1 of the pressure gauge G1 at a predetermined position with respect to the recognized identification number, and obtains the measured value of the pressure gauge G1. Recognize (recognition process: step S23). The processing unit 32 determines whether or not the identification number recognized by the camera 20 is a measuring instrument according to the inspection order (step S24). When the recognized identification number is not the identification number of the measuring instrument in accordance with the inspection order (“No” in step S24), the correct identification number (or name of the measuring instrument) of the correct measuring instrument is displayed and / or voice output. (Step S25). After the notification, the process returns to step S22. When the recognized identification number is the identification number of the measuring instrument according to the inspection order (“Yes” in step S24), the identification number and the measured value are displayed on the display unit 34 (step S26). The worker 5 confirms the displayed identification number and measurement value, and if the identification number and measurement value are correct, the operator 5 generates a “confirmed” sound. In the processing unit 32, it is determined whether or not the “confirmed” voice of the worker 5 is obtained within a predetermined time (step S27). If the sound of “determined” is not obtained within a predetermined time or if the worker 5 utters “invalid”, a re-inspection is instructed (step S28), and the process returns to step 22.
Next, the processing terminal 30 determines whether or not the measured value is within the reference value range (step S29).

When the measured value is not within the normal value range (“No” in step S29), the processing terminal 30 refers to the failure cause information 700 to determine the cause of failure related to the measuring instrument indicating the measured value outside the normal value range. A voice or image is output to the member (step S31). When the measurement value is within the normal value range (“Yes” in step S29), the processing terminal 30 tends to decrease or increase according to the previous measurement value history and the current measurement value as shown in FIG. Further, it is determined whether or not the measured value is out of the normal value range in the next and subsequent measurements (step S30). When the processing terminal 30 determines that the measured value is not within the normal value range in the subsequent measurements (“No” in step S30), the processing terminal 30 refers to the failure cause information 700 and relates to this measuring instrument. The cause of the failure is output to the worker 5 by voice or image (step S31).

When the measurement value is within the normal value range in the measurement after the next inspection (“Yes” in step S30), or after executing step S31, the processing terminal 30 confirms the measurement value in association with the identification number. Then, the measured value is input to the inspection information 600 of the storage unit 31, and the inspection result is stored (storage process: step S32).

If the inspection item is not a measuring instrument (“No” in step S21), as shown in FIG. 14, inspection items other than the measuring instrument, that is, device inspection items are confirmed (step S31). When the voice of the operator 5 regarding the device inspection item is input to the voice input / output unit, the processing unit 32 inputs the inspection result regarding the device inspection item based on this voice (step S32). When the processing unit 32 determines that the inspection result indicates an abnormality of the device (“Yes” in step S33), the processing unit 32 causes the display unit 34 to display the cause of the failure related to the device, and the voice input / output unit 10 At least one of outputting is executed (step S34). On the other hand, when it is determined that the inspection result means that the apparatus is normal (“No” in step S33), the inspection result is stored (storage process: step S35).

After the inspection result of the measuring instrument or the apparatus that does not have the measuring instrument is stored in the storage unit 31, as shown in FIG. 13, the processing unit 32 is other than the measuring instrument and measuring instrument arranged in the room. Among the inspection items, it is determined whether or not there are unmeasured measuring instruments that are not yet stored in the storage unit 31, that is, whether all the inspection items input to the inspection information have been inspected (determination step: step S33). If all the inspection items have not been inspected (“No” in step S33), the processing terminal 30 uses the voice input / output unit 10 or the display unit 34 to inform the operator of the identification number of the unmeasured measuring instrument. Notification is made by at least one of image output (first notification step: step S34). After the notification, the process returns to step S21. When all the inspection items have been inspected (step S33 “Yes”), the inspection of the device in the room is completed, and as shown in FIG. 12, the room number is photographed by the camera 20 when leaving (step S06). The processing unit 32 determines whether all the inspection items in the room have been inspected, and when the inspection items remain (“No” in step S07), the processing unit 32 returns to step S05. If no inspection items remain (“Yes” in step S07), the processing unit 32 determines whether inspection of all rooms has been completed (step S08). When the inspection of all the rooms has not been completed (“No” in step S08), the room number (section identification information) assigned to the other room where the apparatus to be inspected next is arranged is notified (No. 1). 2 Notification step: Step S09), the process returns to Step S02. When the inspection of all the rooms is completed (“Yes” in step S08), the worker 5 is notified to place the processing terminal 30 on the cradle 420 and finish the inspection (step S10). The processing unit 32 determines whether or not the processing terminal 30 is placed on the cradle 420. If not placed ("No" in step S11), the processing unit 32 returns to step S10. When the processing terminal 30 is placed on the cradle 420 (“Yes” in step S11), the processing terminal 30 transmits the inspection information to the inspection result storage device 200, thereby ending the inspection support process.
