OPERATION CONTROLLER FOR EXCAVATOR IN PNEUMATIC CAISSON WORK

摘要

PURPOSE:To permit unmanned excavation work to be performed by a method in which various sensors are attached to a caisson body and an excavator, and information from the sensors is displayed on a monitor for remote control of the excavator. CONSTITUTION:A supersonic waves probe 21 to measure the depth of excavation in the bottom of operation room is set in a matrix form on the ceiling of the operation room of caisson body 1. Sensors 27, 28, and 29 to detect the traveling position, slewing angle, and tilting angle of an excavator 6 are provided for the excavator 6. The detected signals from the probe 21 and the sensors 27, 28, and 29 are analyzed by a computer set outside of the operation room and displayed on a displayer for monitoring, thereby operating the excavator 6.
