Abstract
The disclosure provides an excitation device, in which a vibration in a front-rear direction generated by excitation actuators is input to second bars via excitation arms and excitation shafts, and four wheels are vibrated by the vibrations of the second bars, so as to rotate a vehicle on at least one of a yaw axis, a pitch axis, and a roll axis. A controller controls a phrase and an amplitude of the operation of each of four piston rods of four excitation actuators.
Claims9
An excitation device exciting an inspection vehicle having a plurality of wheels, the excitation device comprising:
- a plurality of excitation portions supporting and exciting the plurality of wheels, respectively, the excitation portion comprising:
- provided corresponding to each of the plurality of wheels, a front bar arranged so as to restrict a forward movement of the wheel by abutting the wheel from a front direction of the wheel;
- a rear bar capable of sandwiching a lower portion of the wheel between itself and the front bar by abutting the wheel from a rear direction of the wheel;
- and an actuator exciting the wheel by moving the front bar in a front-rear direction, and
- a control unit rotating the inspection vehicle on at least one of a yaw axis, a pitch axis, and a roll axis by controlling an operation of each of the plurality of actuators and controlling a phase and an amplitude of the operation of each of the plurality of actuators.
