    Robot system for inspecting inside equipments of furnace
    [21] The present invention relates to a robot for checking an abnormality of a furnace facility, and more particularly, to a robot system for inspecting a furnace facility including a camera rotatable 180 ° to an exploration unit.
    [22] In general, the cold rolled annealing furnace heats the cold rolled steel sheet to recrystallize and grow the rolled structure, thereby removing internal stress and forming a structure having appropriate toughness. It is a process of making the material of metal desired by the consumer by heating and cooling accordingly.
    [23] The annealing furnace consists of facilities such as nozzles and heating elements, and periodically checks for abnormalities of nozzles and radiant tubes.However, the conventional heat dissipation tube check is performed by a person directly entering the furnace and relying on a safety line. In the state, the inspection was performed by moving up and down the inside of the furnace having a depth of 20 m.
    [24] Such conventional methods also present a risk of collision and collision with the internal equipment of the furnace and the risk of asphyxiation due to internal nitrogen gas. In addition, since it is necessary to check with human eyes in a dark space, it is unclear whether the facility is abnormal and the inspection time takes a long time.
    [25] In addition, since the heat dissipation tube of the crack stage and the electric heater of the over-aging stage, etc., which are difficult for the operator to input, cannot be confirmed, there is a problem that normal facility management cannot be performed.
    [26] Conventionally, a method of measuring a crack of a pipe with an electromagnetic induction type sensor has been proposed as the robot moves along the pipe to check the crack of the pipe as in Japanese Laid-Open Patent JP2001-264300. This method is difficult to apply in a vertical vertical survey of 20 meters because the piping is horizontal while using an electromagnetic induction sensor.
    [27] Another conventional technique is a robot that checks pipes with a camera while moving the pipe wall up and down. However, this conventional technique is applicable to the inside inspection of the furnace, but it is difficult to move the robot vertically by the equipment inside the furnace. It is difficult to pinpoint the location of equipment inside the furnace because it has the disadvantage of not being able to pinpoint the location.
    [28] The present invention has been devised to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, in order to check the abnormality of the internal equipment of the furnace having a height of 20m or more, the vertical movement is free, the exact position of the robot to accurately grasp the movement position of the inside of the furnace The purpose is to provide a robotic system for inspecting the facility inside the furnace that can easily identify its location.
