Vibration telemetering system
First Claim
1. A vibration telemetering system comprising:
- a travelling means for running along a predetermined inspection route;
an angle adjusting means mounted on said travelling means;
a vibrometer, mounted on said angle adjusting means, for measuring the vibration of an object in a non-contacting fashion, said vibrometer being moved by said adjusting means so that the detecting face of said vibrometer may be directed towards said object;
communication means for providing as outputs therefrom respective control signals for controlling said travelling means and said angle adjusting means and for receiving as a detection input signal a measured value from said vibrometer; and
,monitoring means for causing said communication means to develop said control signals and for receiving the measured value from said vibrometer through said communication means and for evaluating from the measured value if the state of said measured object is normal.

Abstract
There is dislosed a vibration telemetering system capable of measuring adverse vibrations of installations or equipment in a plant such as a nuclear power plant. The system includes a vibrometer which measures the vibrations in a non-contacting fashion. The direction at which the vibrometer faces is adjusted by an angle adjusting mechanism which is mounted on a travelling unit running along a predetermined inspection route in the plant. A measured signal from the vibrometer is transmitted to a remote control room through a communication system and is used for evaluating whether or not the state of the plant is normal. The remote control room can control the travelling unit and the angle adjusting mechanism through the communication system in order to monitor the vibrations of a plurality of places along the predetermined inspection route.
