Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は磁気測定装置に関し、特に非開削工法における地下掘削体の位置と姿勢の検出に用いられる磁気測定装置に係わるものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
新たに民地へガスを供給する場合には、車道や側道など公共道路の地下に埋設されたガス本支管(以下本支管と称する。)にガス供給管(以下供給管と称する。)を接続し、民地側へ供給管を引込むことが必要となる。従来の供給管を敷設する工法は、民地側の供給管引出し予定部から本支管の接続部までの間の公共道路の地盤に地表面に開口した敷設路を開削し、敷設路に供給管を敷設し、供給管を本支管に接続し、開口した敷設路を埋戻す、いわゆる開削工法であった。開削工法によれば、前記敷設路が、例えば公共道路を横断するように設けられた場合、供給管の敷設工事の間は公共道路の交通を阻害するという問題があった。
【0003】
その問題を解決する工法として、近年、非開削工法が注目されている。非開削工法は、供給管を引込む民地側の地盤或いは本支管を接続部の地盤のみを開削し、供給管を敷設する敷設路は地中部にのみ掘削して形成する工法であり、公共道路を大規模に開削する必要がない。もって、公共道路の交通を阻害せず、さらに供給管の敷設工事を短期間で出来る利点があり、特に交通量の多い都市部では多用される傾向にある。
【0004】
非開削工法では、常に地中部で掘削が行われるため掘削を行う地下掘削体(以下掘削体と称する。)の掘削中の位置と姿勢を正確に検出する必要がある。
掘削体の検出には、取り扱いが容易で構造が簡単な磁気測定装置を用いることが多く、その一例が下記特許文献1に開示されている。特許文献1の磁気測定装置は、「同軸上に間隔をあけて配置され電気的に接続された一対のコイルを有する3組の検出コイル対を備え、前記3組の検出コイル対の中心軸が互いに直交する3軸方向に配置され、前記中心軸同士がそれぞれの一対のコイルの間で互いに直交して配置され、隣接して配置された異なる検出コイル対のコイル同士が互いに間隔をあけて配置されている」ものである。
【0005】
さらに、下記特許文献1には、上記磁気測定装置を使用した地下物体検出方法が開示されている。その地下物体検出方法は、「地下に配置された物体を地上で検出する方法であって、地下に物体とともに配置された磁界発生手段で鉛直方法に磁束軸を有する磁界を発生させる工程と、前記地上で前記磁界中に磁気測定装置を配置する工程と、前記磁界の作用で前記磁気測定装置の各検出コイル対に発生する検出信号を得る工程と、前記3軸方向の検出コイル対のうちの少なくとも2軸方向の検出コイル対で得られる検出信号が一致するように磁気測定装置を旋回する工程と、前記磁気測定装置の旋回姿勢から前記磁気測定装置の位置における前記磁界の磁束方向を得る工程と、前記磁束方向が鉛直方向に近づく方向に前記磁気測定装置を移動させる工程と、前記磁束方向が鉛直方向である位置を、その地下に前記物体が存在する位置であると判断する工程とを備える」ものである。
【0006】
【特許文献1】
特開平8−233601号公報
【0007】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
特許文献1の磁気測定装置は、上記構成により、3軸方向のコイル同士が重なったり干渉したりすることを防止でき、その結果、3軸方向の検出コイル対の磁気特性が極めて揃ったものとなり磁界の情報を正確に得ることができるので、掘削体の位置を正確に検出可能であるとしている。しかしながら、本願発明者らが特許文献1の磁気測定装置を実際に作成し確認したところによると、特に磁界発生源である磁界発生手段と磁気測定装置の距離が離れた場合には、磁気測定装置が検出した検出信号を増幅する電気回路の不可避の雑音や、地磁気など外来の磁界又は電界を起因とした不可避の雑音に、各軸の検出コイル対で発生した検出信号が埋もれ、磁界発生源の位置を正確に測定できないという問題があった。この問題は、原理的には、磁気測定装置を構成するコイルの断面積が有限であることに起因するものである。
【0008】
さらに、特許文献1の地下物体検出方法では、地中物体、すなわち掘削体に内蔵した磁界発生手段で発生する磁界の磁束軸の方向を鉛直方向とし、磁界の地表面での強度を高くして旋回自在な磁気測定装置での磁界検出を容易とし、正確に地中にある掘削体の位置を検出可能としている。非開削工法、特に一般家庭に接続される程度の口径の供給管を民地へ引込む場合には、直径が30〜50mm程度と径小な敷設路が掘削される。そのような径小の敷設路を掘削する掘削体はおのずと径小なものとなり、地表面において検出可能な程度の鉛直方向の磁界を発生できる磁界発生手段を、そのような掘削体に内蔵させることは極めて困難であった。
【0009】
さらに、特許文献1の地下物体検出方法では、地中部を移動する掘削体の位置を検出し特定するため、掘削体の上方の地表面を磁気測定装置で走査する、或いは複数の磁気測定装置を地表面に配置する必要がある。もって、掘削体の位置を特定する際には、磁気測定装置自体が公共道路を占有することとなり、交通を阻害するという問題があった。
【0010】
本発明は、本願発明者らが上記問題を鋭意検討してなされたものであり、磁界発生源の位置が遠距離にあってもその発生する磁界の情報を正確に得ることができる磁気測定装置と、その磁気測定装置を使用した地表面を大きく占有する必要がない地下掘削体の位置検出装置を提供することである。
【0011】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明の磁気測定装置は、所定の間隔を隔てて同軸上に配設するとともに互いに電気的に接続された一対のコイルからなる第1乃至第3の検出部を有している。前記第1乃至第3の検出部は、そのコイルの軸心が互いに直交する3軸方向に配置されるとともに前記軸心が一対のコイル間で直交して配設されている。隣接して配置された前記コイル同士は、互いに間隔をあけて配置されている。前記コイルには軟磁性体が内挿されている。
【0012】
本発明の掘削体の位置と姿勢を検出する掘削体の位置検出装置は、前記地下掘削体に内蔵され磁界を発生する磁界発生手段と、少なくとも一組の前記磁気測定装置を備えている。
【0013】
【発明の実施の形態】
まず、本発明の磁気測定装置について図面を参照して説明する。
図1は、本発明の磁気測定装置の概略構成を示す斜視図である。図2は、図1の磁気測定装置による位置測定の実験例を説明するための図である。図3は、図1の磁気測定装置による位置測定の実験例の結果を示した図である。
【0014】
本発明の磁気測定手段1は、図1に示すように、所定の間隔を隔てて同軸上に配設するとともに互いに電気的に接続された一対のコイル11x1〜11z2からなる第1乃至第3の検出部11x〜11zを有している。前記第1乃至第311x〜11zの検出部は、そのコイル11x1〜11z2の軸心が互いに直交する3軸方向に配置されるとともに前記軸心が一対のコイル11x1〜11z2の間で直交して配設されている。隣接して配置された前記コイル11x1〜11z2同士が互いに間隔をあけて配置されている。前記コイル11x1〜11z2には、軟磁性体12が内挿されている。ここで、第1の検出部11xの軸心a、すなわちコイル11x1、11x2の軸心aを、以下第1の軸心aと称する。同様に、第2の検出部11yの軸心bを第2の軸心b、第3の検出部11zの軸心cを第3の軸心cと称する。
【0015】
磁気測定装置1は、図1に示すように、前記第1〜第3の検出部11x〜11zを構成するコイル11x1〜11z2の姿勢を正確に保持するため、非磁性材料からなる立方形状の支持体13と、前記支持体13の中心Pに対し対称に該支持体13の各面に密設するとともに、前記コイル11x1〜11z2を巻回し、さらに内部に略円柱形状の軟磁性体12が嵌入される、非磁性材料からなる略円筒形状の巻回部材14を有していれば望ましい。もって、第1〜第3の軸心a〜cの交点と前記支持体13の中心Pとは一致することとなる。上記構成の磁気測定装置1は、その中心Pに作用する磁界のベクトルを、第1〜第3の軸心a〜cに沿う成分として測定するものである。
【0016】
上記磁界測定装置1の製造方法について説明する。例えば樹脂を加工して形成した支持体13と巻回部材14を準備する。支持体13の各面に巻回部材14を接着する。それぞれの巻回部材14の外周面に導線を巻回し、第1〜第3の検出部11x〜11zを形成する。巻回部材14の内部に軟磁性体12を嵌挿する。
【0017】
上記構成の磁気測定装置1によれば、第1〜第3の検出部11x〜11zのコイル11x1〜11z2は間隔を隔てて配設されているので互いに干渉することを防止でき磁界の情報を正確に得ることが可能となる。さらに、コイル11x1〜11z2には、軟磁性体14が内挿されているので微弱な磁気を増幅することができ、磁界発生源が遠距離にあってもその発生する磁界の情報を正確に得ることが可能となる。以下、その効果を実験例を参照して説明する。
【0018】
[実験例]
下記に示す構成の磁気測定装置1により、磁気測定装置1の検出特性を確認した。
1)支持体13の一辺の長さ :30mm
2)コイル11x1〜11z2の長さ :25mm
3)コイル11x1〜11z2の内径 :16mm
4)コイル導線の線径 :0.14mm
5)コイル導線の巻数 :250回
6)軟磁性体12の材質 :NiZnフェライト
7)軟磁性体12の比透磁率 :75
8)軟磁性体12の飽和磁束密度 :0.27T
【0019】
本実験例において、磁気測定装置1は、図2に示すように、その第1の軸心aをX軸に沿い、第2の軸心bをY軸に沿い固定した。磁界発生源である磁界発生手段2は、その発生する磁界の磁束軸がX−Y平面にあって、前記第2の軸心bと平行になるよう移動自在に配置した。第2の軸心bと磁束軸との距離、すなわち磁気測定装置1の中心PからみたX軸方向の磁界発生手段2の位置をxとした。また、第1の軸心aと磁界発生手段2の中心との距離、すなわち前記中心PからみたY軸方向の磁界発生手段2の位置をyとした。磁界発生手段2を0.5〜2mの間移動させて、磁界発生手段2の位置x、yと磁気測定装置1から出力される検出信号の関係を確認した。
【0020】
[比較例]
上記磁気測定装置1と基本的には同一の構成であって、軟磁性体のない磁気測定装置を製作し、上記と同様に磁界発生手段2の位置x、yとその磁気測定装置から出力される検出信号の関係を確認した。
【0021】
上記実験例と比較例の結果を図3に示す。図3は、磁界発生手段2の位置x、yと磁気測定装置1から出力された検出信号の電圧の関係を示したものである。実験例では、磁界発生手段2の位置x、yが遠い2mの位置でも、磁気測定装置1が発生した検出信号の強度は前記した不可避の雑音の強度より高くさらに全体としてS/Nが高く、磁気測定装置1は磁界の情報を正確に捉えている。比較例では、全体としてS/Nが低く、特に磁界発生手段2が遠距離となった場合検出信号の強度は雑音の強度以下となった。
【0022】
以下、非開削工法において本支管の所定接続点まで敷設路を掘削する掘削体の位置と姿勢を検出する前記磁気測定装置を用いた位置検出装置について図面を参照し説明する。図4は、本発明の位置検出装置の実施態様を示す概略構成図である。図5は、その位置検出装置による掘削体の位置検出方法を説明する図である。図6、7は、掘削体の位置検出方法の別の態様を示す図である。
【0023】
[実施態様1]
本発明の位置検出装置3は、掘削体に内蔵した磁界発生手段と、図4に示すように、前記磁界発生手段が発生する磁界を検出する少なくとも1組の前記磁気測定装置1a、1bとを有している。さらに、位置検出装置3は、その磁気測定装置1a、1bの各コイル11x1〜11z2に電気的に接続され、該コイル11x1〜11z2で発生した検出信号を増幅する増幅器と、前記増幅器が接続し、増幅された検出信号を処理して掘削体の位置と姿勢を演算する演算手段(共に図示せず)を有している。
【0024】
本実施態様の位置検出装置3は、図4に示すように、第1の磁気測定装置1aと第2の磁気測定装置1bの第1の軸心aを一致させ、それぞれの第2及び第3の軸心b、cを平行に配置するとともに、それぞれの第2の軸心bの距離がLとなるよう相互位置関係を規定して配設したものである。このように、磁気測定装置1a、1bの相互位置関係を規定すれば、位置検出装置3のセッティングや、セッティング後の磁気測定装置1a、1bの位置確認の手間が少なく好ましい。さらに、位置検出装置3は、磁気測定装置1a、1bの姿勢を保持するため、磁気測定装置1a、bを付勢するとともに磁気測定装置1a、1bを支持する支持部材31と、前記支持部材31を立設する基板32とを備えていれば望ましい。
【0025】
磁気測定装置1a、1bの相互位置関係は、上記位置関係に限定されることなく、それぞれの相互位置関係が一意的に規定されていればよい。すなわち、磁気測定装置1a、1bは、それぞれ任意の位置に、任意の姿勢で配置すればよく、それぞれの中心Pa、Pbの距離と第1〜第3の軸心a〜cの方向の関係が一意的に規定されていればよい
【0026】
上記説明した位置検出装置3によれば、非開削工法において地中を掘削する掘削体の位置と姿勢を検出し、本支管の所定接続点に該掘削体を誘導し、所望の敷設路を形成することが可能となる。以下、位置検出装置3による掘削体の位置と姿勢の検出方法について図5を参照し説明する。
【0027】
図5において、4は地下に埋設された半径がRの本支管、Ptは前記本支管4と供給管との接続予定点である。ここで、本支管4の埋設位置(平面方向及び深さ方向の位置)及び接続予定点Ptの位置は予め図面や事前調査により既知のものであり、本支管4の軸心に沿う方向をX軸とし、該X軸に直交するとともに水平な方向をY軸とし、該X、Y軸に直交する方向をZ軸とし、前記接続予定点Ptの近傍を原点Oとした(x,y,z)座標系を設定する。もって、接続予定部Ptは、座標(0,R,0)に位置するものと考えることができる。
【0028】
非開削装置5は、磁界を発生する磁界発生手段2を内蔵した先端に傾斜面を備えた略丸棒状の掘削体51と、掘削体51に推進力と回転力を伝達して掘削体51を誘導する可撓性を備えた誘導手段52を有し、民地から接続予定点Ptまで直線状或いは曲線状の敷設路を非開削で形成するものである。前記磁界発生手段2は、前記掘削体51に内蔵可能な略丸棒状の外形をなし、その軸心を掘削体51の軸心と一致させて掘削体51に内蔵している。ここで、掘削体51の位置は、前記磁界発生手段2の中点、詳しくは図に示すように掘削体51の軸心上にあって、掘削体51の先端からsの距離の点(以下掘削点と称する。)Psの位置で表すこととする。もって、該掘削体51を水平な姿勢で座標(0,R+s,0)の位置まで誘導すれば、民地から前記接続予定点Ptへ供給管を敷設する敷設路が形成されることとなる。
【0029】
位置検出装置3の配置位置は、その位置と本支管4の位置関係、具体的には、前記設定した(x,y,z)座標系の原点Oに対する磁気測定装置1a、1bの中心点Pa、Pbの位置関係が規定されたものであればよい。なお、図4に示すように、本支管4の上方の地表面に位置検出装置3を配置すれば、配置作業を簡便に行うことができるので望ましい。
【0030】
上記したように配置された位置検出装置3による掘削体51の位置及び姿勢の検出原理について詳述する。
図5に示すように、掘削体51の位置する掘削点Psの座標を(xs,ys,zs)とする。第1の磁気測定装置1aの中心が位置する点(以下第1の点と称する場合もある。)Paの座標を(xoa,yoa,zoa)とし、第2の磁気測定装置1bの中心が位置する点(以下第2の点と称する場合もある。)Pbの座標を(xob,yob,zob)とする。第1の点Paから掘削点Psまでの距離をra、第2の点Pbから掘削点Psまでの距離をrbとする。ここで、掘削体51の姿勢を示す磁界発生手段2の磁気モーメントを(Mx、My、Mz)とし、第1及び第2の点Pa、Pbにおけるその磁界の磁束密度の各成分を(Bxa,Bya,Bza)及び(Bxb,Byb,Bzb)とする。上記磁気モーメントの各成分と点Pa、Pbにおける磁束密度の各成分の間には、下記数1の非線形連立方程式で表される関係が成り立つ。

【0036】
位置検出装置3は、上記した検出原理に基づいて掘削体51の位置と姿勢を時々刻々に検出する。非開削装置5は、位置検出装置3が検出した掘削体51の位置と姿勢に基づいて誘導手段52を制御して掘削体51を本支管4の接続予定点Ptへ誘導し、敷設路を形成する。このように、本発明の位置検出装置3によれば、位置検出装置3は地表面の所定位置に固定した状態で掘削体51の位置と姿勢を検出することができ、公共道路の占有が少なく交通の阻害を防止することが可能となる。
【0037】

上記位置検出装置3は、図6に示すように、本支管4の軸心に対し本支管4の上方に略鉛直に開削された立孔の中に、例えばその磁気測定装置1a、1bの第1の軸心aを鉛直方向に配置してもよい。このようにすれば、位置検出装置3は地表面に配置されないので、公共道路の交通を阻害することがさらに少なくなり望ましい。
【0038】
[実施態様3]
上記位置検出装置3は、本支管4が新設されたものでガスの流通のない場合には、図7に示すように、本支管4の内部に配置してもよい。このようにすれば、上記と同様に位置検出装置3は地表面に配置されないので、公共道路の交通を阻害することが少なくなり望ましい。

【発明の効果】
上記説明のように、本発明の磁気測定装置よれば、所定の間隔を隔てて同軸上に配設するとともに互いに電気的に接続された一対のコイルからなる第1乃至第3の検出部を有し、前記第1乃至第3の検出部は、そのコイルの軸心が互いに直交する3軸方向に配置されるとともに前記軸心が一対のコイル間で直交して配設され、隣接して配置された前記コイル同士が互いに間隔をあけて配置された磁気測定装置において、微弱な磁気を増幅するため前記コイルに軟磁性体を内挿したので、磁気発生源が遠距離にあってもその発生する磁界の情報を正確に得ることが可能となる。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a magnetic measuring device, and more particularly to a magnetic measuring device used for detecting the position and orientation of an underground excavated body in a non-cutting method.
[0002]
[Prior art]
When newly supplying gas to a private area, a gas supply pipe (hereinafter, referred to as a supply pipe) is installed in a main gas pipe (hereinafter, referred to as a main pipe) buried under a public road such as a roadway or a side road. It is necessary to connect and draw the supply pipe to the private side. The conventional method of laying supply pipes is to cut open laying roads that open to the ground surface on the ground of public roads from the planned supply pipe draw-out section on the private side to the connecting section of the main pipe, and supply pipes to the laying paths. Laying, connecting the supply pipe to the main pipe, and burying the open laying path, so-called open-cutting method. According to the excavation method, when the laying road is provided, for example, so as to cross a public road, there is a problem that traffic on the public road is hindered during the laying work of the supply pipe.
[0003]
In recent years, a non-cutting method has attracted attention as a method of solving the problem. The non-digging method is a method in which only the ground on the private side where the supply pipe is drawn or the ground where the main pipe is connected is cut, and the laying path for laying the supply pipe is excavated and formed only in the underground part. It is not necessary to dig a large scale. Therefore, there is an advantage that the traffic on public roads is not hindered and the laying work of the supply pipe can be performed in a short period of time.
[0004]
In the non-digging method, since the excavation is always performed in the underground, it is necessary to accurately detect the position and orientation of the underground excavated body (hereinafter referred to as excavated body) to be excavated during excavation.
For detecting an excavated body, a magnetic measuring device that is easy to handle and has a simple structure is often used, and an example thereof is disclosed in Patent Document 1 below. The magnetic measurement device disclosed in Patent Document 1 includes “three detection coil pairs having a pair of coils that are coaxially disposed at intervals and electrically connected to each other. The central axes are arranged orthogonally to each other between a pair of coils, and the coils of different detection coil pairs arranged adjacent to each other are arranged at intervals from each other. Has been ".
[0005]
Further, Patent Document 1 below discloses a method of detecting underground objects using the above-described magnetic measurement device. The underground object detection method is, `` a method of detecting an object placed underground on the ground, a step of generating a magnetic field having a magnetic flux axis in a vertical method by magnetic field generating means arranged together with the object underground, Arranging a magnetometer in the magnetic field on the ground; obtaining a detection signal generated in each detection coil pair of the magnetometer by the action of the magnetic field; Turning the magnetic measuring device so that the detection signals obtained by the detection coil pairs in at least two axial directions coincide with each other, and obtaining the magnetic flux direction of the magnetic field at the position of the magnetic measuring device from the turning posture of the magnetic measuring device Moving the magnetic measuring device in a direction in which the magnetic flux direction approaches the vertical direction, and a position in which the magnetic flux direction is a vertical direction, where the object exists underground. And a step of determining "is intended.

JP-A-8-233601
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The magnetic measurement device of Patent Document 1 can prevent the coils in the three axial directions from overlapping or interfering with each other due to the above configuration. As a result, the magnetic characteristics of the detection coil pairs in the three axial directions are extremely uniform. It is stated that the information on the magnetic field can be obtained accurately, so that the position of the excavated body can be accurately detected. However, the inventors of the present application actually created and confirmed the magnetic measurement device of Patent Document 1, and found that the magnetic measurement device was particularly difficult when the distance between the magnetic field generation means as the magnetic field generation source and the magnetic measurement device was large. The detection signal generated by the detection coil pair of each axis is buried in the unavoidable noise of the electric circuit that amplifies the detection signal detected by, and the unavoidable noise caused by an external magnetic field or electric field such as terrestrial magnetism. There was a problem that the position could not be measured accurately. This problem is caused in principle by the fact that the cross-sectional area of the coil constituting the magnetic measuring device is finite.
[0008]
Further, in the underground object detection method of Patent Document 1, the direction of the magnetic flux axis of the underground object, that is, the magnetic field generated by the magnetic field generating means built in the excavation body is set to the vertical direction, and the strength of the magnetic field on the ground surface is increased. This makes it easy to detect a magnetic field with a rotatable magnetic measuring device, and makes it possible to accurately detect the position of an excavated body underground. In the case of a non-cutting method, especially when a supply pipe having a diameter enough to be connected to a general home is drawn into a private land, a laying path having a small diameter of about 30 to 50 mm is excavated. The excavated body for excavating such a small diameter laying path is naturally small in diameter, and magnetic field generating means capable of generating a magnetic field in the vertical direction that can be detected on the ground surface is incorporated in such excavated body. Was extremely difficult.
[0009]
Furthermore, in the underground object detection method of Patent Document 1, in order to detect and specify the position of an excavated body moving in the underground part, the ground surface above the excavated body is scanned with a magnetic measurement device, or a plurality of magnetic measurement devices are used. It must be placed on the ground surface. Therefore, when specifying the position of the excavated body, the magnetic measuring device itself occupies a public road, and there is a problem that traffic is hindered.
[0010]
The present invention has been made by the inventors of the present application in earnest and has studied the above problem, and a magnetic measuring apparatus capable of accurately obtaining information on a magnetic field generated even when a magnetic field source is located at a long distance. Another object of the present invention is to provide an underground excavated body position detecting device that does not need to occupy a large area of the ground surface using the magnetic measuring device.
