    摘要: A position detection system for an underwater inspection unit or vehicle improves the detection accuracy of the unit's position. The unit includes a pressure sensor for detecting its vertical position, and an inertial sensor for detecting its attitude angle. The unit also includes a range sensor unit for detecting relative distances relative to a neighboring structure A in several directions on substantially the same plane. A control unit computes a position of a detection direction plane of the range sensor unit based on the unit's detected vertical position and attitude angle, and a cross-sectional shape and position of the structure at the computed position of the detection direction plane. Additionally, the control unit computes the unit's relative position with respect to the structure's cross-sectional shape based on detection results by the range sensor unit, and computes the unit's horizontal position based on position information of the structure's cross-sectional shape.

    摘要: There is provided a position sensing apparatus when a non-orbital movable truck moves over a spherical surface, a cylindrical surface, or a flat surface, which is capable of position sensing even when, e.g., the non-orbital movable truck circumferentially moves over the spherical surface or the cylindrical surface to be hidden from the position sensing apparatus. A second linear encoder is disposed which includes a wire in a main body thereof to output an amount by which the wire is withdrawn as an encoder value. The tip of the wire of the second linear encoder is fixed to a position at the non-orbital movable truck to which the tip of the wire of a linear encoder is fixed. From an amount by which the wire of the linear encoder is withdrawn and the amount by which the wire of the second linear encoder is withdrawn, the position of the non-orbital movable truck is calculated in a calculation device.

    摘要: Disclosed is an eddy current flaw detection probe that is capable of pressing itself against an inspection target whose curvature varies. A flaw sensor is configured by fastening a plurality of coils to a flexible substrate that faces the surface of the inspection target. A first elastic body is positioned opposite the inspection target for the flaw sensor, is obtained by stacking two or more elastic plates, and has an elastic coefficient that varies in a longitudinal direction. A second elastic body is a porous body positioned between the flexible substrate and the first elastic body. A pressure section is employed to press the first elastic body toward the inspection target.
