Summary of the invention
The problem to be solved in the present invention
Above-mentioned surface examining device comprises pick-up unit, and described pick-up unit is configured to that the light projection optical fiber of checking light is adjacent is provided with many and is used to receive the catoptrical light optical fiber that is subjected to around being used to throw, and keeps tube to keep these optical fiber by optical fiber.For this pick-up unit, described light projection optical fiber is subjected to position between the light optical fiber to concern that (for example its spacing from) fix with described, therefore, with respect to the change of catoptrical proterties (for example its direction or intensity), the sensitivity characteristic of described pick-up unit is also fixed.Because the defect type that occurs in the checked property shows catoptrical proterties, so the position that is subjected to light optical fiber in the conventional surface testing fixture etc. are configured such that pick-up unit has the sensitivity characteristic of the defective of the checked property that can sense examine.
Therefore, for the conventional surface testing fixture, the sensitivity characteristic of pick-up unit is fixed as makes it can sense defective to be detected, just there are the following problems for this, because if defect type for example to be detected changes, then can not fully sense this defective; In addition, if newly be provided with the position that will be different from defective, then these positions can be surveyed by flase drop and be defective.
In addition, if above-mentioned surface examining device is used to check the inner peripheral surface of cylinder, then essentially make that the rotation of checking head is consistent with the center line of cylinder.As long as their unanimities, then regardless of the position of rotation of checking head, the inner peripheral surface of checking head and cylinder when this makes proterties when inspection constant light intensity and inner peripheral surface even, can receive the reflected light of same intensity always toward each other.Yet, if the center line of the turning axle of inspection head and cylinder is inconsistent, check that the incident angle of light can change along with the position of rotation of checking head, even the proterties of inner peripheral surface is uniform like this, also can change catoptrical intensity.
In this case, first week is checked in every rotation, has twice chance to check head and inner peripheral surface toward each other, and incident angle gradually changes when they are not relative, and therefore catoptrical intensity produces fluctuation.Therefore, when generation had two dimensional image according to the density of described intensity of reflected light, this two dimensional image was because of its density (bright or dark) cyclical variation, thus checking that head and inner peripheral surface place respect to one another are the brightest, and darker relatively in other place.If the accidental relative light that appears at this two dimensional image corresponding to the dark space of defective that exists judges that then it is that defective does not have mistake; Yet if the dark space appears at dark relatively part, the contrast around this dark-part can be lower, and this has increased the possibility that produces mistake in the defective judgement.
In addition, if for the opening in the above-mentioned head unit is provided with the protection window component, then when checking light by this protection window component and when appearing at the described head tube outside, this inspection light can be reflected by the front surface of described protection window component and rear surface.This reflected light can return along the direction opposite with checking light because of light path change parts, the therefore optical superposition that can detect with surface examining device by the light of the light of checked property reflection and the reflection of protection window component, and this can hinder the improvement of susceptibility.
An object of the present invention is to provide a kind of surface examining device, this surface examining device can produce and the corresponding various sensitivity characteristics of for example defect type.Another object of the present invention provides a kind of surface examining device, even this surface examining device the turning axle of checking head with not under the situation of strict conformance, also can obtain not have the two dimensional image of periodicity variable density as the center line of the cylinder of checked property.Another object of the present invention provides a kind of surface inspection head unit, and this surface inspection head unit can will check that the reflected light by the checked property reflection in the light is separated with the light that is reflected by the protection window component, and the former is directed to testing fixture.
The means of dealing with problems
The problems referred to above can be solved by the surface examining device according to first aspect present invention, this surface examining device has pick-up unit, this pick-up unit is used to throw the surface of fiber-optic illuminated checked property from the inspection light of light source via light, and detects this inspection reflection of light light intensity; And described surface examining device is checked the surface of checked property based on the testing result of described pick-up unit, wherein, described pick-up unit comprises: first is subjected to the light optical fibre set, it comprises that many are subjected to light optical fiber, this first be subjected to the light optical fibre set be arranged on described light projection optical fiber around and can guide described reflected light; Second is subjected to the light optical fibre set, and it comprises that many are subjected to light optical fiber, looks from described light projection optical fiber that this second is subjected to the light optical fibre set to be arranged on described first outside that is subjected to the light optical fibre set, and can guide described reflected light; First photoelectric conversion device, it is according to being subjected to the catoptrical intensity of light optical fibre set guiding to come output signal by described first; And second photoelectric conversion device, it is according to being subjected to the catoptrical intensity of light optical fibre set guiding to come output signal by described second.
According to above-mentioned surface examining device, second is subjected to the light optical fibre set to be arranged on described first outside that is subjected to the light optical fibre set, and each group of these optical fibre set all has different position relations with described light projection optical fiber.Therefore, single pick-up unit has a plurality of sensitivity characteristics that differ from one another.Therefore, according to defect kind to be detected, the signal by suitably utilizing described first photoelectric conversion device and the signal of described second photoelectric conversion device perhaps make up these signals, can produce multiple sensitivity characteristic.
The surface examining device of first aspect present invention also comprises: the operation rule setting device, its operation rule that will be added to from first signal of described first photoelectric conversion device output from the product of the secondary signal of described second photoelectric conversion device output and predetermined value is set at the predetermined operation rule, makes the angle of the light that described pick-up unit and surface described checked property are reflected to change relevant susceptibility variation has the sensitivity characteristic of substantially flat at the angle in the preset range; And synthetic treating apparatus, it makes up described first signal and described secondary signal based on described predetermined operation rule.
If checked property is a foundry goods, and cut has been passed through on the surface of examine, the any pore detection that then needs to occur on the surface with this foundry goods is defective, simultaneously, needs and will separate with the slight depression that forms from the teeth outwards because of cutting processing as the pore of defective.If occur pore on the surface, even then check this pore of rayed, also reflection hardly, so catoptrical strength degradation.In addition, the depression that forms on the surface can change catoptrical direction.Therefore, responsive if pick-up unit changes catoptrical angle, that is,, then exist pick-up unit can not receive the situation of the light that reflects by depression in the surface if the sensitivity characteristic relevant with catoptrical angular range has narrower permissible range.Therefore, the intensity of reflected light that is received reduces, and is difficult to pore and depressed area are separated.
Therefore, according to a first aspect of the invention, described operation rule setting device can be set described predetermined operation rule, make the angle of the light that described pick-up unit and surface checked property are reflected change relevant susceptibility, change sensitivity characteristic at the angle in the preset range with substantially flat.In this case, if set described preset range, make width that its changes corresponding to the angle of the light that described depression reflected, then the sensitivity characteristic in this scope is smooth basically, therefore, can receive light with the intensity that equates with light intensity that no sunk surface is reflected by this depression was reflected.Therefore, clearly distinguished described pore and described depression, this has improved the inspection precision.
Changing relevant described first with described catoptrical angle is subjected to light optical fibre set and second to be subjected to the sensitivity characteristic of light optical fibre set to depend on their physical configuration, distance between all intervals between the optical fibre set as described, described light projection optical fiber and each optical fibre set and the diameter that is subjected to light optical fiber that constitutes each optical fibre set.Therefore, by considering that changing relevant described first with described catoptrical angle is subjected to the sensitivity characteristic and described second of light optical fibre set to be subjected to the sensitivity characteristic of light optical fibre set, suitably is provided with the required operation rule of this smooth sensitivity characteristic of acquisition.For example, described operation rule setting device can be set at following operation rule described predetermined operation rule, is about to the operation rule on the product that described first signal is added to described secondary signal and predetermined value.This operation rule also can obtain the sensitivity characteristic of substantially flat.
The surface examining device of a second aspect of the present invention, this surface examining device has and is used to throw the surface of fiber-optic illuminated checked property via light and detect the pick-up unit of this inspection reflection of light light intensity from the inspection light of light source, and check the surface of described checked property based on the testing result of described pick-up unit, wherein, described pick-up unit comprises: first is subjected to the light optical fibre set, it comprises that many are subjected to light optical fiber, this first be subjected to the light optical fibre set be arranged on described light projection optical fiber around and can guide described reflected light; Second is subjected to the light optical fibre set, and it comprises that many are subjected to light optical fiber, observes from the angle of described light projection optical fiber, and described second is subjected to the light optical fibre set to be arranged on described first outside that is subjected to the light optical fibre set, and can guide described reflected light; First photoelectric conversion device, it is according to the described the catoptrical intensity output signal that is subjected to the guiding of light optical fibre set; Second photoelectric conversion device, it is according to the described second catoptrical intensity output signal that guided by the light optical fibre set, this surface examining device also comprises: the operation rule setting device, it will deduct from first signal from the output of described first photoelectric conversion device from the operation rule of the secondary signal of described second photoelectric conversion device output and be set at the predetermined operation rule, make described pick-up unit with have the sensitivity characteristic that has negative peak when the described reflection position average-size of the chip that produces of cut that become near apart from the relevant susceptibility of the variable in distance of the reflection position of described checked property; And synthetic treating apparatus, it makes up described first signal and described secondary signal based on described predetermined operation rule.
If cut has been passed through on the surface of described checked property, then the chip that produces because of cut can be attached on this surface, needs the existence detection of this chip is defective.If the described inspection light that is radiated on the described chip reflects hardly, if perhaps catoptrical direction substantial deviation, then the intensity of reflected light that is received reduces, and this makes it possible to detect described chip.Yet,,,, can ignore the existence of chip if the inspection light that promptly is radiated on the described chip reflects in the mode identical with normal surface so there is following risk because described chip does not have consistent shape.
Therefore, according to a second aspect of the invention, described operation rule setting device can be set described predetermined operation rule, make described pick-up unit with have apart from the relevant susceptibility of the variable in distance of the reflection position of described checked property when described reflection position change near have the sensitivity characteristic of negative peak during preset distance.According to described aspect, preset distance is set at for example average-size of described chip, so make that this has reduced the risk of the existence of omission chip because existing chip to cause received catoptrical intensity to present negative value can detect described chip.As mentioned above, because obtain the physical configuration that the required operation rule of this sensitivity characteristic depends on described pick-up unit, thus by consider with checked property to the variable in distance of described reflection position relevant described first be subjected to the sensitivity characteristic and described second of light optical fibre set to be subjected to the sensitivity characteristic of light optical fibre set suitably to set this operation rule.For example, described operation rule setting device can be set at the operation rule that deducts described secondary signal from described first signal described predetermined operation rule.Even use such operation rule, also can obtain under reflection position becomes the situation of nearly preset distance, to have the sensitivity characteristic of negative peak.
First and second aspects of the present invention can be configured to check the device of the plane surface of checked property, perhaps check the device of the non-planar surfaces of checked property.For example, provide the surface of cylindrical shape inner peripheral surface as described checked property; And described pick-up unit can be checked the inspection light of the periphery of head towards described cylinder inner peripheral surface irradiation from the axle shape; Also comprise: move the described linear drive apparatus of checking head vertically; And make a described rotating driving device of checking head around its rotation.
The problems referred to above can be by solving according to the surface examining device of third aspect present invention, and comprise according to the surface examining device of third aspect present invention: the light source of light is checked in emission; Be inserted into inspection head as the cylinder inside of checked property, the described head of checking will project the inner peripheral surface of described cylinder from the inspection light of described light emitted and receive the light of reflection thus around the axle rotation of described cylinder and along the described axially movable while; And photoelectric conversion device, it is according to the described catoptrical intensity output signal of checking that head receives; And the signal that described surface examining device is exported based on described photoelectric conversion device generates the two dimensional image corresponding to described inner peripheral surface; Described surface examining device also comprises: signal processing apparatus, its from the signal of described photoelectric conversion device output, extract with because of described cylinder spool and center line between the corresponding frequency component of fluctuation of the caused described intensity of reflected light of deviation; And light source control device, it controls described light source, makes to change along with the difference between the described frequency component that pre-determined reference value and described signal processing apparatus extracted from the inspection light intensity of described light emitted.
According to this testing fixture, described signal processing apparatus extracts the corresponding frequency component of fluctuation with the described intensity of reflected light that causes because of the deviation between the center line of a described turning axle of checking and described cylinder.In addition, because described light source control device is controlled described inspection light intensity according to frequency component and the difference between the described pre-determined reference value that described signal processing apparatus extracted, so can eliminate the fluctuation of described intensity of reflected light.Thus, even the described turning axle of checking head is consistent with center line out of true as the cylinder of described checked property, also can obtain two dimensional image without any the periodicity variable density.
According to a third aspect of the invention we, described light source control device can be controlled described light source, make when the difference of inspection light intensity between described reference value and described frequency component of sending from described light source is big than in this difference than hour bigger.Therefore, can eliminate described catoptrical strength fluctuation reliably.
According to a third aspect of the invention we, described signal processing apparatus can be configured to, and makes it be extracted in and comprises corresponding to the frequency component of described fluctuation the frequency component that does not comprise corresponding in the preset range of the frequency component of the defective of described inner peripheral surface.In this case, suitably set described preset range and make it possible to generate more uniform two dimensional image, because not only eliminated the fluctuation that the deviation between described turning axle and the described center line causes, also eliminated the described catoptrical Strength Changes that other factors (for example surfaceness of described inner peripheral surface) that can not think defective cause.In addition, because described preset range does not comprise the frequency component corresponding to defective, so problem with the corresponding catoptrical Strength Changes of defective can not occur having eliminated.
The problems referred to above also can solve by surface inspection head according to a forth aspect of the invention, and this surface inspection head comprises: the head tube is formed with opening in its periphery; The protection window component, it is arranged on described opening part; And light path change device, it is inner that it is set at described head tube, be used to change the light path of the inspection light that enters described head tube vertically, so that guide it into described protection window component, and change the light path of inspection light, so that axially it is directed on the reverse direction of described inspection light along described head tube by the light of checked property surface reflection; Wherein, the front surface of described protection window component and at least one the normal direction in the rear surface tilt with respect to the direction that described inspection illumination is mapped on the described protection window component.
The normal direction of the front surface of described protection window component and at least one in the rear surface tilts with respect to the light-struck direction of described inspection, and therefore reflects with an angle with respect to incident light as the front surface of the described protection window component that hinders the factor that susceptibility improves or the light that the rear surface is reflected.Therefore; that the direction of light of described protection window component reflection departs from described checked property surface reflection and follow the direction of light that penetrates from described light path change device in this, the deviation between the direction of light that the direction of light that therefore produces described checked property surface reflection and described protection window component reflect.Thus, the light of described checked property surface reflection can separate with the light of described protection window component reflection, and is directed into described testing fixture, and this makes it possible to carry out high Precision Detection.
According to a forth aspect of the invention, described protection window component can be installed in the end regions of described head tube; And can make the front surface of described protection window component and at least one the normal direction in the rear surface along with extending towards the described head tube outside along radial direction towards the distolateral inclination of described head tube.According to this aspect; make described inspection light turn to the distolateral of described head tube by the front surface of described protection window component and in the rear surface at least one; therefore compare with the situation that described protection window component is not set, check that the distolateral of described head tube is partial in the position of the described checked property of rayed.Therefore, if described checked property is the blind hole shape, and described head tube is inserted in the described checked property, and then for example described head tube can collide with the end of described checked property, and because described inspection light no longer arrives this end, the dead angle just occurred.Yet, according to this aspect, can also be in described distolateral execution inspection.
According to a forth aspect of the invention, the normal direction of the front surface of described protection window component and rear surface can tilt according to equal angles with respect to the direction of the described protection window component of described inspection rayed.In this case, the front surface of described protection window component is parallel with the rear surface, therefore can use to be easy to be shaped and cost-effective flat board.
The invention effect
According to above-mentioned surface examining device, second is subjected to the light optical fibre set to be arranged on described first outside that is subjected to the light optical fibre set, and each group of these optical fibre set has the diverse location relation with described light projection optical fiber, and therefore single pick-up unit can have the multiple sensitivity characteristic that differs from one another.Therefore, according to defect kind to be detected, the signal by suitably using described first photoelectric conversion device and the signal of described second photoelectric conversion device perhaps make up these signals, can produce multiple sensitivity characteristic.In addition, because according to and control described inspection light intensity because of the corresponding frequency component of fluctuation of the caused described intensity of reflected light of deviation between the center line of the described turning axle of checking head and described cylinder, so can eliminate the fluctuation of described intensity of reflected light.Thus, even the described turning axle of checking head is accurate not consistent with the center line as the cylinder of described checked property, also can obtain two dimensional image without any the periodicity variable density.In addition, according to above-mentioned surface inspection head unit, also can carry out high Precision Detection even be provided with the protection window component.Therefore, can (in the production such as automobile component) incorporate described surface inspection head unit in the production line with close inspection standard, and utilize it to detect tiny flaw, described surface inspection head unit can improve the inspection precision.

When the inner peripheral surface 100a that checks checked property 100 surperficial, checked property 100 is configured such that it and checks that 16 coaxial.When beginning to check, arithmetic processing section 60 is sent instruction according to the instruction from input part 63 to operation control part 61, to start the inner peripheral surface 100a necessary operations of checking checked property 100.The operation control part 61 that receives this instruction makes the light of LD11 emission predetermined strength and controls motor 35 and the operation of motor 41, makes to check that 16 move vertically and rotate around axle AX with constant speed.In addition, if the Instruction Selection by the user surface imperfection checking mode, then operate the operation of control part 61 control motors 54, make and check that light focuses on inner peripheral surface 100a and goes up and make the light of inner peripheral surface 100a reflection focus on second and be subjected on the light optical fibre set 14B.In addition, if selected the Superficial Foreign Body checking mode, the operation of then operating control part 61 control motors 54 makes checks that light focuses on inner peripheral surface 100a and goes up and make the light of inner peripheral surface 100a reflection focus on first and be subjected on the light optical fibre set 14A.By such control operation, can be by checking that light scans inner peripheral surface 100a with passing through.
With this scanning ground that interrelates, the output signal of PD12A and the output signal of PD12B are sent to signal processing part 62A and signal processing part 62B in rapid succession respectively.Signal processing part 62A carries out analog signal processing to the output signal of PD12A, this this signal of processing will carry out to(for) arithmetic processing section 60 is essential, with predetermined bit-depth the simulating signal of being handled is carried out the A/D conversion subsequently, and the digital signal that obtains is exported to arithmetic processing section 60 as reflected light signal.The A/D conversion of carrying out by signal processing part 62A uses pulse train from rotary encoder 43 outputs as sampling clock signal.Thus, checking that 16 produce the relevant gradual change digital signal of light quantity (intensity) that receives with PD12 in the rotation, and export this signal from signal processing part 62A at a predetermined angle.The signal processing part 62B of the output signal of input PD12B turns round in mode similar to the above.
From signal processing part 62A, 62B receive reflected light signal arithmetic processing section 60 will from the signal of signal handling part 62A and from the signal of signal processing part 62B according to the state storage that can distinguish each other storage part 65.In addition, arithmetic processing section 60 utilization is stored in the two dimensional image of planar development that reflected light signal in the storage part 65 generates the inner peripheral surface 100a of checked property 100, judge whether there is defective based on this two dimensional image, and result of determination is exported to efferent 64 as check result.
With reference to Fig. 3, illustrate below that arithmetic processing section 60 generates such two dimensional image and based on its outgoing inspection result's process.Fig. 3 is the block diagram of the function of explanation arithmetic processing section 60.Be stored in preset program in the storage part 65 by execution, arithmetic processing section 60 plays the effect of synthetic handling part 601, operation rule configuration part 602, image production part 603 and detection unit 604, as shown in Figure 3.At first, arithmetic processing section 60 will be read in the synthetic handling part 601 based on the reflected light signal Ps1 of the output signal of the PD12A of storage in the storage part 65 with based on the reflected light signal Ps2 of the output signal of PD12B.Then, synthetic handling part 601 synthesizes these signals Ps1, Ps2 according to the operation rule of being set by operation rule configuration part 602, and the signal that is synthesized is outputed to image production part 603.Computing configuration part 602 maintain discussed above and the corresponding operation rule of surface imperfection checking mode and with the corresponding operation rule of Superficial Foreign Body checking mode, and based on setting and the selected corresponding operation rule of checking mode from the instruction of input part 63.
Consider that the output signal of each PD12A, 12B is provided with the operation rule that operation rule configuration part 602 is kept with respect to the characteristic (sensitivity characteristic) of the proterties variation (for example catoptrical proterties variation) of the inner peripheral surface 100a of checked property 100.The operation rule that is provided with in the surface imperfection checking mode at first is described.In the surface imperfection checking mode, operation rule is set, so that obtain the sensitivity characteristic that defective the pore that occurs and the depressed area that should not be regarded as defective that is formed by cut can be separated in inner peripheral surface 100a in the inner peripheral surface 100a of quilt inspection thing 100.In addition, when carrying out cut, depression is inevitably, and very shallow, is very similar to the so-called chatter mark that occurs on the surface when instrument (for example cutting tool) is replaced with new instrument.The depression that forms among the inner peripheral surface 100a of checked property 100 has changed catoptrical direction.In other words, depression can be regarded as with respect to the angled surface of direction of illumination (optical axis) of checking light.
Fig. 4 shows the sensitivity characteristic that test section 5 changes about the reflected light angle.In Fig. 4, the output signal of PD12A when dot-and-dash line M1 indication reflected light angle changes, i.e. first sensitivity characteristic that is subjected to light optical fibre set 14A; The output signal of PD12B when double dot dash line M2 indication reflected light angle changes, i.e. second sensitivity characteristic that is subjected to light optical fibre set 14B; And the sensitivity characteristic the during output signal that the output signal of PD12A and PD12B have been synthesized in solid line M3 indication.Horizontal ordinate among Fig. 4 is represented angle, and (unit: degree), and ordinate is represented intensity of reflected light.As mentioned above, in the surface imperfection checking mode, adjust test section 5, make reflected light focus on second and be subjected on the light optical fibre set 14B.Therefore, shown in double dot dash line M2, second is subjected to the sensitivity characteristic of light optical fibre set 14B to have maximal value at the initial point place that the reflected light direction does not depart from, and along with reflected light departs from increase, intensity reduces.In addition, shown in dot-and-dash line M1, first is subjected to the sensitivity characteristic of light optical fibre set 14A to have maximal value near+4 ° and-4 °, and since focus be subjected on the light optical fibre set 14B second, so the depression center with minimum value is at initial point.These sensitivity characteristics depend on physical configuration, as distance between the interval between optical fibre set 14A, the 14B, light projection optical fiber 13 and each optical fibre set 14A, the 14B and the diameter that is subjected to light optical fiber 14 that constitutes these optical fibre set, so these sensitivity characteristics are that this embodiment of test section 5 is distinctive.
Above-mentioned approximately-6 ° to+6 ° the catoptrical angle of the interior change of scope that is recessed in that forms among the inner peripheral surface 100a.Therefore, if having with respect to the angle in this scope, test section 5 changes smooth basically sensitivity characteristic, even check that then illumination is mapped to depression, the catoptrical intensity that is received by test section 5 can not reduce yet, and therefore can clearly depression and pore be made a distinction.Therefore, in the surface imperfection checking mode of present embodiment, the operation rule that is set as follows, the output signal that is about to PD12A with multiply each other as 0.5 of predetermined value, then with the output signal addition of its result and PD12B, making sensitivity characteristic change with respect to about-6 ° angle in+6 ° the scope is smooth substantially, shown in solid line M3 among Fig. 4.
The following describes the operation rule of setting in the Superficial Foreign Body checking mode.In the Superficial Foreign Body checking mode, operation rule is set, even reflect in the mode that is similar to the general surface that does not have foreign matter to obtain the inspection light that is radiated on the foreign matter (for example being attached to), also can sense the sensitivity characteristic of foreign matter by the chip on the inner peripheral surface 100a of inspection thing 100.If the foreign matter such as chip is attached on the inner peripheral surface 100a, then compare with the situation that does not have foreign matter, check that the reflection of light position has become near and had a degree of foreign matter.In other words, if there is foreign matter to adhere to, then shorter than the situation that does not have foreign matter by catoptron 18 to the optical path length of inner peripheral surface 100a from lens 17.
Fig. 5 shows the sensitivity characteristic of test section 5 about the variable in distance of reflection position to checked property 100.In Fig. 5, the output signal of PD12A when dot-and-dash line M1 represents the variable in distance of reflection position, i.e. first sensitivity characteristic that is subjected to light optical fibre set 14A; The output signal of PD12B when double dot dash line M2 represents the variable in distance of reflection position, i.e. second sensitivity characteristic that is subjected to light optical fibre set 14B; And the sensitivity characteristic the during output signal that the output signal of PD12A and PD12B have been synthesized in solid line M3 representative.Position deviation (unit: mm) when the horizontal ordinate representative among Fig. 5 is the reference position with the initial point between reference position and the reflection position.Negative sign is depended on nearly test section 5 sides.Ordinate among Fig. 5 is represented intensity of reflected light.As mentioned above, in the Superficial Foreign Body checking mode, adjust test section 5, make reflected light focus on first and be subjected on the light optical fibre set 14A.Therefore, shown in dot-and-dash line M1, first is subjected to the sensitivity characteristic of light optical fibre set 14A to have maximal value at the initial point that does not have position deviation, and along with position deviation increases, intensity reduces.In addition because focus is subjected on the light optical fibre set 14A first, second sensitivity characteristic that is subjected to light optical fibre set 14B be displaced to-0.5mm neighbouring first equated by the sensitivity characteristic of light optical fibre set 14A.As mentioned above, these sensitivity characteristics depend on the physical configuration of test section 5, and are that this embodiment of test section 5 is distinctive.
Because being attached to the average-size (for example thickness) of the chip on the inner peripheral surface 100a approximately is 0.5mm, be mapped on the chip that is attached on the inner peripheral surface 100a if check illumination, then the reference position when not having chip is compared, its reflection position is near about 0.5mm.Therefore, if test section 5 is provided with the sensitivity characteristic with negative peak, at this negative peak place, can detect reflection position near the condition of about this magnitude, even then be radiated at inspection light on the foreign matter (such as chip) to reflect, also can detect this foreign matter with the similar mode of the normal surface that does not have foreign matter.Therefore, in the Superficial Foreign Body checking mode of present embodiment, be set as follows operation rule, deduct the output signal of PD12B from the output signal of PD12A, make sensitivity characteristic approximately-the 0.5mm place has negative peak, shown in solid line M3 among Fig. 5.
Each operation rule described above only is the example of the rule of the physical configuration that is suitable for test section 5 (being specially distance between interval, light projection optical fiber 13 and each optical fibre set 14A, the 14B between optical fibre set 14A, the 14B and the diameter that is subjected to light optical fiber 14 that constitutes these optical fibre set), the also sensitivity characteristic that can use other operation rules to obtain to stipulate.
