SYSTEM FOR MEASURING EXCAVATION POSITION OF UNDERGROUND EXCAVATOR.

摘要

A system for measuring an excavation position for measuring a position of an underground excavator with high accuracy by advantageously utilizing fluctuation errors which are difficult to be removed. The system comprises: a plurality of magnetic field generating devices (2) provided at known positions outside the underground excavator; a magnetic field detecting device (3) provided in the underground excavator; and a microcomputer (4) connected to the above-described devices (2, 3). The microcomputer (4) drives the above-described devices (2, 3) on the basis of an allowable error in displacement, which is specified and input to the microcomputer (4) by an operator and outputs an excavation position of the underground excavator (1) within a scope of the aforesaid allowable error. As for the aforesaid allowable error to be specified and input, a magnetic field generating device previously selected by the operator or an allowable error previously selected by the operator will serve the purpose.
