초록

본 연구에서는 하수관의 접합부 돌출부 절삭용 로봇을 개발하고, 이의 성능평가를 수행하였다. 하수관로 절삭 성능평가를 위해 주하수관의 재질 및 직경, 가지관의 재질을 실험변수로 설정하였다. 주하수관의 재질은 콘크리트 흄관과 PE관을 사용하고, 직경은 300 및 500mm를 적용하였다. 가지관의 재질은 PE 및 PVC로 설정하고, 직경은 100mm로 설정하였다. 절삭로봇을 개발된 이용하여 절삭성능 실험을 수행하였다. 절삭실험 후의 가지관의 잔여 돌출 길이는 5mm 이하로서 목표 절삭 잔여 길이를 모두 만족하고 있다. 따라서 개발된 하수관로 절삭로봇을 이용하여 하수관 접합부 돌출관을 효과적으로 절삭할 수 있다.

In this study, cutting robot system which could cut lateral protrusion into main pipes at the connection of sewer pipes was developed. In addition, the cutting test of the robot for the lateral protrusions were performed. The test parameters included materials used in the main pipes and diameters of the pipes, and materials used in the protruded pipes. The materials type of the main pipes were concrete and PE, and the diameters of the pipes were 300 and 500 mm. The materials type used in the protruded pipes were PE and PVC, and the diameter of the pipes was 100 mm. Remaining length of each lateral protruded pipe was less than 5 mm which was an target value of cutting performance. It showd that test results were within the target value. Therefore, in the repair of sewer pipes, the lateral protruded pipes can be cut by using the robot system developed in this paper.
