REMOTE CONTROL DEVICE FOR SELF-TRAVELLING ROBOT WITH FOUR-DIVIDED INDEPENDENTLY TURNING TRUCK FRAME

摘要

PURPOSE:To enable delicate and timely remote control with good responsiveness by disposing four truck frame position control knobs on a controller in a remote control device in the similar figure to the disposition of four truck frames in a robot. CONSTITUTION:The controller 1 of this remote control device is provided with four turning angle detectors 2a-2d built therein, and truck frame position control knobs 3a-3d are fitted to rotary shafts. These turning angle detectors 2a-2d are for setting the target value of the respective turning angles at the time of an operator performing manual remote-control on the respective turning angles of four truck frames 5a-5d of a robot body 8. The respective knobs 3a-3d are provided with marks 4a-4d at one ends thereof, and disposed at two places on each side face of a controller 1 in the similar figure to the disposition of four truck frames 5a-5d. The respective truck frames 5a-5d can be turned in a range of 360 deg. respectively by motors 6a-6d through power transmission mechanism such as gears.
