  • Bilateral Control of a Velocity Control System Using Electric and Hydraulic Actuators

    Working in extreme environments (e.g., at disaster sites) is dangerous for humans. Hence, it is important to use teleoperated robots in such extreme environments. Because heavy lifting work is involved, hydraulic actuators with high output are more commonly used than electric actuators. Therefore, it is necessary to operate remotely controlled robots driven by hydraulic actuators. Bilateral control is remote control with a sense of force. Because most bilateral control systems have been studied mainly using electric actuators, bilateral control using hydraulic actuators is still a challenge. In this study, we propose placing a bilateral controller between an electric actuator on the master side and a hydraulic actuator on the slave side using position and velocity. The controller exhibits the dynamics of bilateral control systems using position and velocity. In addition, the control performance of conventional methods and that of the proposed method are compared and experimentally verified. (C) 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

    For power transfer to the rotor circuit of excitation-type synchronous motors, we propose a contactless power transfer system with a primary series capacitor (S topology) to compensate for the leakage reactance. This system does not contain secondary resonant and smoothing capacitors and can reduce the number of components in the rotor circuit. The value of the primary resonant capacitor is determined such that the input power factor is set to one for the operating frequency. The rotating shaft of the rotor is covered with an aluminum sheet to reduce the loss due to the leakage flux. Power transfer tests were performed. A high efficiency of 91.8% was achieved when power was transferred to the rotor circuit of the synchronous motor.

    A bidirectional wireless power transfer system would offer many advantages when charging the batteries of electric vehicles. In a power-supply circuit, the efficiency of the inverter and rectifier is important in terms of total system efficiency. An inverter-rectifier, which is the type of power-supply circuit used in this system, performs both the inverter operation and the rectifier operation. To reduce loss of performance in both modes of operation, we decided to use silicon carbide (SiC) power devices that are capable of reducing switching loss. However, there is a problem of high conduction loss resulting from the use of SiC power devices in rectifier operation. To overcome this problem, we propose a method of parallelizing SiC metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistors and utilizing a diode with a low forward voltage to achieve better efficiency.

    The efficiency of a contactless power transformer is determined by the output load. We propose a high-efficiency contactless power transfer system for a low-voltage and large-current load. The proposed system is composed of a contactless power transfer system with series and series resonant capacitors and a current-doubler rectifier circuit. This paper presents the characteristic of the proposed system that charged electric double layer capacitors as a low-voltage and large-current load, as well as the experimental results.

    A wireless power transfer system for electric vehicles has to deal with the issue of high leakage levels of electric field. In this paper, we propose two methods for reducing the leakage electric field. First is the use of ferrite to reduce the emitted leakage electric field to the environment. Second is the changing of the pulse width of the inverter to reduce the harmonics of leakage electric field. We present the experimental results of the reduction effects of leakage electric field. We also compared the leakage electric field using series-parallel and series-series resonant capacitor topologies.

    A contactless power transfer system for electric vehicles must have high efficiency, a large air gap, good tolerance to misalignment in the lateral direction, compactness, and light weight. In this paper, a new 1.5-kW transformer has been developed using a novel H-shaped core which is more efficient, more robust to misalignment, and lighter than previous rectangular cores, to satisfy these criteria, and its characteristics are described. An efficiency of 95% was achieved across a 70-mm mechanical gap. Iron-loss modeling of the equivalent circuit is also presented. The calculated efficiency using this model shows good agreement with experimental results. (c) 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

    Contactless power transfer (CPT) systems with primary series and secondary parallel capacitors (SP topology) are useful for charging electric vehicles. However, SP topology is not suitable for bidirectional power transfer. This paper introduces a novel SPL topology for bidirectional CPT systems that is realized by adding an inductor and an inverter to the SP topology. The 3kW and 160mm gap bidirectional test results show that the efficiency of G2V is 92.5%, and the efficiency of V2G is 93.4%, which are approximately equal to the efficiency of the unidirectional SP topology system of 93.1%. © 2013 IEEE.

    The growth of the internet brings up new keywords for the information technology, such as cloud computing and big data. The increasing data in the information society has a potential to offer new insight into the real world. On the other hand, the increasing demand for rehabilitation of aged people has resulted in increased demand for physical therapy robots. Therefore, this paper proposes the construction of rehabilitation database extending the concept of medical cloud technologies. We discuss the possibility of establishing a new validation methodology by generating database created using the data collected with rehabilitation equipment. Statistical processing was applied to the data collected using the rehabilitation equipment, for investigating an example of a validation method. The results show that a new knowledge for physical therapy can be extracted through a statistical evaluation with database compiled from quantitative sensor information. © 2013 IEEE.

    The Range of Motion (ROM) is an important index of physical and occupational therapy, although getting quantitative results requires much time and effort. This paper proposes a method for measuring the ROM on a 2-dimensional plane by introducing a rehabilitation robot. One advantage is that quantitative measurement is easily done. This paper also proposes the concept of resistancemovementROM, which indicates the extent of movement under load and resistance. This method makes it possible to observe the distribution of strength within the ROM. In other words, the proposed method evaluates upper limb mobility and the ability to produce force. The feasibility of the method is evaluated through experimental results. © 2011 by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc.

    Contactless power transfer systems for electric vehicles contain two types of transformers (a pair consisting of a transmitter and a receiver): a rectangular (H-shaped) core double-sided winding transformer and a circular core single-sided winding transformer. Since the magnetic field structures of these two transformers differ greatly, these two types of transformers have been incompatible in the past, although a number of compatible receivers have recently been proposed. This paper proposes a novel Hc core transmitter that is compatible with both types of receivers. The Hc core transmitter adds a central magnetic pole by dividing the winding coil of the H-shaped core transmitter. This transmitter can change the magnetic field structure by changing the connections of divided windings and can transfer power to both types of receivers. Compatibility tests at 3 kW are carried out, and the test results are presented.

    Working in ultimate environments (e.g. working at the disaster sites) is dangerous for humans. Hence it is important to introduce teleoperated robots at the extreme environments. Since there are many heavy works, hydraulic actuators of high output power are used more than electric actuators. Therefore, it is necessary to operate remote control robots driven by hydraulic actuators. Bilateral control is remote control with the sense of force. Because most of bilateral control systems have been studied mainly using electric actuators, bilateral control using hydraulic actuators is still a challenging issue. In this research, we show the interference of position and force controllers and degradation of control performance by scaling gain in the conventional method. The control performance of the conventional research is analyzed and is experimentally verified. In addition, in this research, we show the effect of modeling error of the previously proposed bilateral controller.

    Two technologies have greatly accelerated the practical use of contactless charging systems: the contactless power transformer achieved a compact size and good tolerance to misalignment by improving the core architecture, while the charging controller raised effectiveness and lowered noise with a new DC/DC converter. Specifically, the new DC/DC converter can operate buck-boost and soft-switching. A bench test and PHEV test confirmed that a contactless charging system composed of these new technologies charged stably despite gap changes and misalignment. © 2011 IEEE.

    The equivalent circuit, the efficiency, and the important characteristics of moving pick-up type contactless power transfer systems are described. If the primary series capacitor and the secondary parallel capacitors are chosen correctly and the winding resistances are ignored, the equivalent circuit of the transformer with these capacitors becomes the same as an ideal transformer at the resonant frequency. This simple approximation helps to understand the phenomena occurring with load changes. Because the circuit analysis becomes simple, the approximate value of the power transfer efficiency can be derived. This paper describes the determination of the capacitor values, the derivation of the equivalent circuit and the efficiency, and test results. (C) 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

    This paper describes the comparison of the characteristics of double- and single-sided windings of contactless power transfer systems used in electric vehicles. The self-inductance changes with the electric current when the gap length is fixed in single-sided windings. The issue is resolved by maintaining the secondary voltage constant. In the case of double-sided windings, the transformer can be miniaturized in comparison with the single-sided winding transformer. However, the coupling factor is small, and appropriate countermeasures must be adopted to reduce the back leakage flux. The leakage flux is reduced by placing an aluminum board behind the transformer. Thus, the coupling factor increases.

  • Whole-Body Force Sensation by Force Sensor With Shell-Shaped End-Effector

    This paper proposes a tactile-sensing mechanism for a robot. The mechanism is composed of a force-sensor device and an end-effector of shell shape. Since the end-effector plays the role of an outer shell, a force can be sensed at any position on the body. Due to the aspect of its intrinsic contact sensing, position of the single contact point is calculable without any sensor array. Another ad vantage is that the six-axis resultant force is measurable. This paper shows that the mechanism is also available for the end-effector with an angulated shape. The only condition for the shape is to be a convex hull. Some experimental results evaluate sources of error in practical measurement and show the validity of the proposed mechanism.

    This paper deals with the problem concerning the modeling and sensing of the weld pool. In order to obtain the high quality of the welding result, it is important to measure and control the penetration depth in the robotic welding. Since it is difficult to directly measure the penetration depth and the relationship among the penetration depth, the welding current and other weld pool parameters such as the surface shape of the weld pool and the gap width, is non-liner, the weld pool model is constructed by neural network to estimate the penetration depth. The input and output variables of neural network model are determined from the information of the deferential equation for the penetration depth and the weld pool widths. Some steady state data and a transient response data of the fundamental experiment result are used as the training data of neural network model. The neural network model with less error can be learned by using these training data. When the experimental data of the weld pool widths and the gap width are input to the neural network model, this model is performed as the sensor to estimate the penetration depth. The validity of the neural network model was verified by the welding experiment.

    It is important to control penetration depth of weld pool during the welding, so as to get a good quality of the welding. But, it may be difficult to directly detect the penetration depth by using a visual sensor. In order to detect the penetration depth, authors propose a penetration depth model based on neural network. During the welding, a fuzzy controller adjusts the welding current so as to get the desired penetration depth. Since performances of the fuzzy controller depend on the fuzzy variables, its tuning can be performed by using the neural network model. The validity of fuzzy - neural network is verified by the welding experiments.

    As part of current R&
    D work focused on developing the intelligence of arc welding robots, this paper deals with the problem of weldpool sensing and control. To obtain high‐quality welding, it is important to control the weldpool depth in robot welding regardless of any external disturbance, such as irregular groove gap. The method of controlling the weldpool depth without a mathematical model is discussed. Since it is difficult to measure the weldpool depth directly, it is estimated from the weldpool surface shape, groove gap, and welding current. A neural network is used to estimate the weldpool depth without a mathematical model. The weldpool depth is controlled from the output of the neural network using the fuzzy controller. Neural network and fuzzy controller application is validated in welding experiments. © 1995 Woodhead Publishing Ltd.

    This paper shows a collision relaxation control of a robot arm. The arm needs to keep touching to a moving object during collision relaxation control. Current robots do not have enough control performance to deal with a changing environment. So, robot cannot contact to a moving object and a person safely. This is one of the reasons that robot is considered to be danger. To secure safety in a changing environment, a robot control system with high collision relaxation performance was developed. As the first step of the study, the authors had experiments with the situation that a handcart comes to the robot arm and the robot arm stops the cart.

    The authors have studied a controller design method based on functionality. The method is to design a large-scale control system as a combination of small detachable components. This paper extends the method to exception handling. The main issue in the study is that discrete inputs due to variation of control structure degrade the control performance. Hence the study discusses how to solve the issue.

    This paper deals with a force sensing mechanism composed of a force sensor device and an end-effector of shell-shape. Since the end-effector plays a role of an outer shell, force can be sensed at any positions on whole body. The sensor has an ability to calculate the position of a contact point without any sensor array. Based on the ability, this study applies the force sensing mechanism as a haptic interface similar to a touch panel. Experimental results show the validity of the proposed method.

    Measuring of arc length is important to obtain good welding quality in spite of variation of torch height. Therefore, it is necessary to detect arc behavior in the transient state in addition to the steady state. For this purpose, this paper proposes neural network models which output the present wire extension from the data relating to wire melting, such as welding current, current pickup voltage and wire feed rate in every sampling period. Since performance of the neural network model depends on threshold functions, authors investigate the performance of the neural network models based on both sigmoid function and radial base function. To confirm the validity of these systems, fundamental experiments were carried out. The arc was directly observed and recorded as image data using a high speed camera. The output data from the neural network were compared with the measured data which were obtained from every captured image. It was found that the neural network model based on the radial base function is useful than the sigmoid function to estimate the wire extension length in MIG welding because of better responses in the transient state and smaller steady state error.

    The equivalent circuit, the efficiency and the important characteristics of moving pick-up type contactless power transfer systems are described. If primary series capacitor and the secondary parallel capacitors are chosen correctly and the winding resistances are ignored, the equivalent circuit of the transformer with these capacitors becomes the same as an ideal transformer at the resonant frequency. This simple approximation helps to understand the phenomena with load changes. As the circuit analysis becomes simple, the approximate value of power transfer efficiency can be derived. This paper describes the determination of the capacitor values, the derivation of the equivalent circuit and the efficiency and the test results. © 2008 The Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.

  • Whole-body force sensation by robot with outer shell

    AMC '08: 10TH INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON ADVANCED MOTION CONTROL, VOLS 1 AND 2, PROCEEDINGS, First page:365, Last page:370, 2008
    This paper proposes a force-sensing mechanism for a robot. The mechanism is composed of a force sensor device and an end-effector of shell-shape. Since the end-effector plays a role of an outer shell, force can be sensed at any positions on whole body. In other word, whole-body force sensation is realized. It is possible to calculate the position of a contact point without any sensor array. Hence costs and wirings are reduced. Another merit is that 6-axis resultant force is measurable in contrast with conventional tactile sensors. Experimental results of a mobile robot are shown to verify the validity of the proposed mechanism.

    The formation of stable back beads in the first layer weld during one side multilayer welding is important to achieve high quality welded metal joints. The authors thus employed the switch back welding method for the welding of V groove joints Without backing plates. In this method, the personal computers control a welding robot, a digital welding power source and a wire feeder, simultaneously. Each unit is connected together with Ethernet and UDP (User Datagram Protocol). The personal computer for controlling the welding robot is synchronized with other Computers. The suitability of the welding conditions for each loot gap was verified by observation of the are, molten pool and external appearance of back beads.

    The authors proposed the switch back welding method to make the stable back beads in the first layer weld during one side multilayer welding. In the proposed welding method, the torch motion is important to control the weld pool, i.e., the welding torch is moved backward and forward like switch back. It is important to investigate the behavior of the weld pool to get the optimum welding parameters such as the traveling speed, the forward distance, the backward distance, the welding current and so on. There are many welding parameters. In order to find the optimum, welding parameters, the numerical simulations are useful, method instead of the welding experiments. Since the deposited metal is considered in the numerical models of the welding in the thick plates, the numerical analysis becomes complicated. In order to simplify the analysis, the authors discussed the numerical simulations of the welding in the thin metal plates because the effect of the deposited metal can be minimized. First, the fundamental welding experiments were carried out in MIG welding. By using the experimental results, the numerical models in the switch back welding are determined. Next, the behaviors of the temperature are investigated under the change of the traveling speed and the backward distance. If the traveling speed is constant in the switch back welding, the weld, pool size may sometimes become big. In this case, the burn trough may take place due to the flow in the weld pool. When the traveling speed, of the forward movement is faster than backward movement, the weld pool, length becomes shorter than the case of the constant traveling speed. Moreover, if the backward distance is longer than, half of the forward distance of the switch back welding, the authors can obtain continuous back bead regardless of the disturbance such as the variation of the arc length, i.e., the stability of the weld pool is increased. The switch back welding method is useful to make the stable back bead in the MIG welding.

    IEEJ Transactions on Industry Applications, Volume:127, Number:2, First page:174, Last page:180, 2007
    A new contactless power transfer system using series and parallel resonant capacitors is described. If the primary series resonant capacitor and the secondary resonant capacitor are set proper values, the equivalent circuit of the transformer with these capacitors becomes very simple at the resonant frequency. Ignoring the winding resistance and the core loss, the equivalent circuit is the same as an ideal transformer. Therefore the circuit analysis is easy, and if the input voltage is constant, the output voltage is also constant regardless the output current. The paper describes the determination of the series and the parallel capacitor values, the derivation of the equivalent circuit and the test results which shows the usefulness of the new contactless power transfer system.

    The formation of stable back beads in the first layer weld during one side multilayer welding is important to achieve high quality welded metal joints. The authors tried to apply the switch back welding method to butt welding to join discs with flat metal plates without backing plates. During the welding, the gap was detected by processing the weld pool image taken with a CCD camera. Moreover, the tip of the electrode wire is changing owing to a curve of its wire extension in accordance with a rotation of the torch axis. Even though teaching is achieved before the welding, the weaving centre is shifted from the gap centre. The controller of the seam tracking was designed to prevent any steady state error.

  • A New Voltage Balance Circuit using Chopper and Inverter for Electric Double Layer Capacitors
    峯村明憲; 後藤純一; 金子裕良; 阿部茂
    Volume:39, First page:28, Last page:32, 2006
    Electric double layer capacitors(EDLCs) are used in series connection and the voltage balance among EDLCs is important. The voltage balance circuit with inverter has the merits of simple and low cost. However the voltage drop at diodes and transistors impedes the voltage balance operation. We have developed a new voltage balance circuit using chopper and inverter. The chopper steps up the input voltage of inverter to compensate the voltage drop. This paper describes the new voltage balance circuit and the experimental results in detail.

    Volume:39, First page:33, Last page:39, 2006
    The progress in wireless technologies and the advancement of GPS accuracy makes us to get the positions of moving objects easily. Mobile instrument spreads across our social life quickly, so it is important to manage the moving objects data for emerging applications with those technologies. In this paper, we describe an efficient index structure MD-MOtree, which is based on MD-tree, to deal with moving objects data that has frequent insertion and deletion. There are no overlaps and no needs to periodical restructuring of the tree structure by not integrating internal nodes on its delete process. And its combined delete-insert algorithm in each object cut down the processing time. The good performance of MD-MOtree for managing the moving point objects is shown by simulation experiments.

    SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY OF WELDING AND JOINING, Volume:10, Number:3, First page:281, Last page:286, Jun. 2005
    Some problems are reported concerning the observation of the weld pool and effects of the power source characteristic on arc stability in CO2 short circuiting arc welding. First, the effect of a power source with a constant voltage characteristic on CO2 short circuiting arc welding is investigated by analysing the behaviour of the voltage and the current. From the results of this analysis, the cause of spatter generation is identified. A new power source characteristic is then proposed to improve the stability and the self-regulation of the arc. By adjusting the power source characteristic, the metal transfer can be stabilised in the CO2 short circuiting arc welding process, i.e. the present authors have developed a power source having a non-linear characteristic. Its performance is verified by carrying out experiments.

    The formation of stable back beads in the first layer weld during one side multilayer welding is important to achieve high quality welded metal joints. The authors thus employed the switch back welding method for V groove joints without backing plates. In this method, the power source, wire feed motor, and robot manipulators were controlled by the computer based cooperative control. The torch is moved backward and forward like switch back. First, the torch is moved forward with high speed. The arc is discharged to the each root edge of the groove. The droplet is deposited to each root edge, too. After that, the torch is moved backward with the same high speed. During the backward motion, the deposited metal makes the bridge between the both edges due to the surface tension. Next, the torch is moved forward with slow speed to form the bead. The mentioned torch motion is repeated. When constant welding conditions are used, the back bead becomes unstable by affection of the disturbances such as gap variations due to the welding distortion. In this method, it is important to measure the gap. The authors discuss a method to detect the gap and to get the stable back bead by using a visual sensor, the CCD camera. During the slow forward torch motion, the weld pool can be observed. The shape in the front part of the weld pool depends on the gap. It can be detected by processing the weld pool images. The authors investigate the method to take the gap from the weld pool image. The use of feed-forward control of back beads to compensate for variations of root gaps was also tested. In order to verify the performance of the feed forward controller, the gap is changing from 4.6 mm to 2.5 mm without the tack welding.

    This paper deals with the problem concerning the sensing and the controlling of weld pool. In order to obtain the high quality of the welding result, it is important to control the weld pool depth in the robotic welding regardless of the external disturbance such as an irregular change of the groove gap. The method of controlling the weld pool depth without mathematical model is discussed. Since it is difficult to directly measure the depth, the depth is estimated from the surface shape of the weld pool, the groove gap, and the welding current. A neural network is used to estimate the depth without mathematical model. The weld pool depth is controlled from the output of the neural network by using the fuzzy controller. The validity of the neural network and of the fuzzy controller was verified by the welding experiments. © 1994, JAPAN WELDING SOCIETY. All rights reserved.

    This paper deals with the problem concerning the sensing and the controlling of weld pool. In order to obtain the high quality of the welding result, it is important to control the weld pool depth in the robotic welding regardless of the external disturbance such as an irregular change of the groove gap. The method of controlling the weld pool depth without mathematical model is discussed. Since it is difficult to directly measure the depth, the depth is estimated from the surface shape of the weld pool, the groove gap, and the welding current. A neural network is used to estimate the depth without mathematical model. The weld pool depth is controlled from the output of the neural network by using the fuzzy controller. The validity of the neural network and of the fuzzy controller was verified by the welding experiments. © 1994, JAPAN WELDING SOCIETY. All rights reserved.

    本研究では多関節ロボットを用いて3次元構造物上の軌道を追跡する方法について検討する。溶接分野においては、ロボット手先の姿勢が被溶接物および軌道に対して垂直であることが望ましい。しかし被溶接物の形状によってはロボット手先と被溶接物との干渉を避けるために手先姿勢を変化させる必要がある。特に直角の曲がり角を持つ軌道を追跡する場合の手先姿勢の決定は重要な課題である。このために、望ましい溶接姿勢、追跡性能および被溶接物との干渉を考慮し、ホップフィールドネットワークにより手先姿勢を予見的に決定する。軌道はCCDカメラを用いてセンシングし、ニューロ・ファジィ制御により追跡を行う。

    平面にパイプを溶接する場合のロボットの知能化について考察する。すなわち、溶接線に対してロボット手先姿勢を一定に保ちながら軌道の追跡を行う。ここではライン状レーザとCCDカメラにより溶接線を検出する。手先の運動方程式は複雑となるので、姿勢制御と溶接線追跡には式を必要としないファジィ制御を用いる。このとき、最適なファジィ変数を求めるためにニューラルネットワークと最急降下法を用いる。追跡実験においてファジィ制御の有効性を確認する。

    We developed a wireless power supply system that can be shared while parking and traveling. The Hc core transformer can be coupled to a transformer having a different magnetic field distribution.We examined the optimum structure and circuit method of the Hc core transformer and confirmed its effectiveness.It has been clarified that the leakage electromagnetic field is reduced by using a ladder type transformer in which the Hc type core transformer is expanded. In addition, we analyzed the characteristics of output power and input power factor by logic analysis of combinations of multiple ground connection coils (series / parallel) and compensation capacitor arrangement (SS system, PS system, relay coil system).

    For power transfer to the rotor circuit of excitation-type synchronous motors, we propose several contactless power transfer systems with different shape of pads and some resonant circuits to obtain the high efficiency of the power. We examine the characteristics of some contactless power transfer systems with different resonant capacitor topology to compensate for the leakage reactance and compared them. The rotating shaft of the rotor is covered with an aluminum sheet to reduce the loss due to the leakage flux. Power transfer tests were performed. A high efficiency of 91.8% was achieved when power was transferred to the rotor circuit of the synchronous motor.

    A contactless power transfer system (CPT) with primary series and secondary parallel capacitors (SP topology) is useful for EV charging. However, the SP topology is not suitable for bidirectional power transfer. A novel SPL topology for bidirectional CPT systems has developed. The SPL topology is obtained by adding an inductor to the secondary side of the SP topology and the transformer of the SP topology can be used as the transformer of the SPL topology. The 3-kW bidirectional test results show that the efficiency of G2V is 94.4% and the efficiency of V2G is 94.8%, which are approximately equal to the efficiency of 95.4% for the SP topology.
    There is another bidirectional CPT of SS topology. As CPT has the issue of high leakage levels of electric field, two methods for reducing the leakage electric field are presented and the test results are shown. The comparison of the leakage electric field between SS topology and SP topology is also described.

    Contactless power transfer systems for electric vehicles are required to have high efficiency, a large air gap, good tolerance to misalignment in the lateral direction, and be compact and lightweight. A new 1.5 kW transformer has been developed to satisfy these criteria using a novel H-shaped core. A 10 kW transformer compatible with 1.5 kW transformer is also developed. The efficiency is shown by a simple equation using the windings' Q and the coupling factor k.

    The switchback welding method can obtain a steady back bead and the penetration shape. The purpose of this research is to show the availability of this welding method in one side welding without thick plate. First, the mechanism of the movement phenomenon of the weld pool shape was analyzed when the switchback operated. Next, the best parameter of the switchback welding with the groove gap was detected. And the method of increasing the welding speed was developed. The availability of the switchback welding in joints other than the mild steel material such as titanium was verified.

  • Research on Traffic Control and Handling Capacity of Evacuation Elevator

    1.Comparison of evacuation time between evacuation by elevators and stairs and that by stairs alone.
    The minimum evacuation time without fire is studied. To enlarge handling capacity, all elevators operate as shuttle. In zoning building, we divide a building into some sections vertically, and the number of section is chosen as the number of zones +1. The people in lowest section evacuate by stairs alone and the people in higher section evacuate by stairs and shuttle elevators. The evacuation time by elevator and stairs is about 1/3 compared with that by stairs alone in case of 16 floors building.
    2.Elevator power supply and car operation that can operate in blackout.
    In case of fire, the possibility of power failure is very high. Using the passengers potential energy, elevators with some power storage can operate in evacuation, because the passengers go downward only not upward. We studied the proper car operation and the number of passengers that can operate elevators continuously. The shuttle operation is suited and the car can operate with only 1/4 passengers of car capacity in blackout.
    3.Discrete event simulation of people walking stairs in egress.
    We have developed the event simulation method of people walking stairs. Then, the total evacuation simulation of buildings becomes possible with the elevator event simulator.
    4.Pattern recognition of wheelchair people at elevator lobby.
    If we can recognize wheelchair people at elevator lobby with video-camera, it is easy to guide handicapped people in fire. We have developed an algorithm which can recognize the difference between wheelchair people and normal people.
