On the other hand, on the upper surface of the above-mentioned lighting box (3) installed below the bottom surface (21) of the glass bottle (20), a square-shaped light shielding plate (7) as shown in FIG. 2 is provided. Has been.
The shading plate (7) includes a first region (7A) including the center line of the bottom surface (21) of the glass bottle (20) corresponding to the field of view of the camera (5) and the bottom surface (21) of the glass bottle (20). The second area (7B) extending vertically from the position corresponding to the baffle mark diameter in (1) to the second area (7B) can be shielded from light.
Note that the baffle mark is the combination of the baffle mold and the rough mold that are formed on the bottom of the parison when the parison molding is performed by pressing or blowing pressure to close the upper surface of the rough mold filled with molten glass. After my eyes,
Even after the parison is blown to the final shape of the glass bottle with the finishing mold, it remains on the bottom surface (21) of the glass bottle (20) as a circular mark as shown by (22) in FIG. Also shown in FIG. 3 as (23) is a seam line after the seam of the finishing die, and (24) is an uneven pattern called knurling formed on the ground contact surface of the bottle bottom. The second area (7B) of the light shielding plate (7) extends vertically from the two positions where the field of view A of the camera (5) intersects the baffle mark (22) toward both sides.

(Operation) With such a structure, when there is no defect on the bottom surface (21) of the glass bottle (20), the first area ((1) of the light shielding plate (7) is provided in the visual field A of the camera (5). 7A) is only reflected, and the light from the light source (4) does not enter the camera (5). However, if there are glass fragments attached to the outer surface of the bottom surface (21), or if there are defects on the bottom surface (21) that refract or reflect light rays such as chatter, goby, bubbles, and internal projections, then the light shield (7) The light rays incident on the center line from the area (1) enter the visual field of the camera (5) as a point where they are refracted and reflected by these defects and shine, and only the defective area floats up in the dark background with vivid contrast. Therefore, according to the bottom surface inspection apparatus of the present invention, these defects can be inspected with high accuracy and at high speed as in the conventional case.
Moreover, in the present invention, since the light shielding plate (7) has the second region (7B) extending perpendicularly to the visual field A from the position corresponding to the diameter of the baffle mark (22), the baffle mark (22). , The seam line (23), the knurling (24) and the like are in the field of view A of the camera (5), no light rays enter from the direction indicated by the arrow in FIG. Therefore, the light rays are prevented from entering the visual field A of the camera (5) due to the unavoidable irregularities and the like generated in these portions.
In addition, since light rays also enter these portions from an oblique direction, it is needless to say that a clear defect such as adhesion of glass fragments is surely detected. However, the baffle mark (2
2) or seam lines (23) or knurling (24)
Due to the peculiar directionality of the dirt and the like in the part (2), the light rays from the oblique direction do not reflect toward the visual field A, and the discovery of such a law is the basis of the present invention.

As described above, according to the present invention, the baffle mark (22),
Since the dirt and the like generated on the seam line (23) and the knurling (24) are not erroneously detected, it is possible to reduce the waste spring rate for wastefully excluding non-defective products.

A line test was performed on the bottom surface inspection device for a glass bottle of the present invention, and the following results were obtained. First of all, 12 out of 129 non-defective products (glass bottles with 0.5 x 0.5 mm diameter)
The inspection of a total of 141 sample bottles mixed with was repeated 10 times. As a result, 12 defective bottles were detected in all 10 times, and the number of non-defective products that were mistakenly rejected was 0, and the waste spring rate was 0%. Next, an online test was performed on a total of 39975 glass bottles, and 10 defective bottles were eliminated, but one defective bottle was detected after passing this device, so the detection rate was 10/11 = It was 91%. Also, since 160 good products were mistakenly removed, the waste spring rate is 0.4%, but when using the conventional inspection device, the waste spring rate is 1-2.

In the example shown in FIG. 2, the glass bottle (20) needs to be rotated at least 180 ° in order to inspect the entire bottom surface.
As shown in FIG. 4, if the field of view A of the camera (5) and the first and second areas (7A) and (7B) of the light shielding plate (7) are arranged in a cross shape, the glass bottle (20) It only needs to be rotated by 90 °, and the inspection speed can be further improved.

(Effects of the Invention) As is apparent from the above description, the present invention significantly reduces the waste spring rate that erroneously eliminates irregularities such as baffle marks that are inevitably produced on the bottom surface of a normal glass bottle, while significantly reducing it. Since it is possible to reliably detect defects such as adhesion of glass fragments on the bottom surface of the glass bottle, as a bottom inspection device for glass bottles that eliminates the conventional problems, it is extremely important to contribute to the development of the industry.
