Step 209 ... there is there the thread end image that surpasses the pattern match ratio of setting?
Judgement, the in the situation that of pattern match, judge that this image is thread end, enter damaged testing agency 3 of thread end left and right portion, in the situation that only find not exceed the image of pattern match ratio, as NG, export defective signal.
(thread end left and right portion is damaged to be detected)
Then, based on Figure 11, the damaged detection of 12 explanation thread end left and right portions.
By step 301 ... at setting left and right, the left and right of thread end portion inspection door,
Be adjacent to set left and right portion inspection door 24 with left side and the right side of the thread end detecting by pattern match.The size of left and right portion inspection door 24 pre-determines.Afterwards, by
Step 302 ... set deep or light poor, the area threshold of left and right portion inspection door,
Set the threshold value in the damaged detection of thread end left and right portion.The threshold value of deep or light difference particularly detects the pixel darker than the threshold value setting, and area threshold is the threshold number of pixels that becomes the piece of this dark pixel below deep or light difference limen value.Afterwards, by
Step 303 ... at left and right portion inspection door, have than the dark pixel of deep or light difference limen value?
In each left and right portion inspection door, judge whether the pixel below deep or light difference limen value, the in the situation that of NO, be judged to be certified products (thread end left and right portion is without breakage), the in the situation that of YES, by
Step 304 ... does inspection door have the image that has surpassed area threshold in left and right portion?
Whether the pixel count that judgement becomes the piece below deep or light difference limen value has surpassed area threshold, the in the situation that of NO, is judged to be certified products (thread end left and right portion is without breakage), and the in the situation that of YES, being judged as thread end left and right portion has breakage (defect).
Figure 12 is the example that thread end has damaged situation, and in ring-type inspection door 22, breakage image 72a, 72b are dimmed.Breakage image 72a is the shape of approximate login image 77, thus pattern match, but set left and right portion inspection door 24 and check owing to being adjacent, so be judged to be defectiveness by detecting breakage image 72b.In the present invention, detect like this breakage of thread end.
(the general portion of screw thread is damaged to be detected)
Next, based on Figure 13,14 damaged detections of the general portion of explanation screw thread.
By step 401 ... set the inspection door of cutting apart that line with radial direction is split to form ring-type inspection door,
As shown in figure 14, generate with the line of radial direction part ring-type inspection door 22, thread end inspection door 23(pattern match) part be in addition divided into a plurality of form cut apart inspection door 25.Cut apart inspection door by except thread end inspection door part.Afterwards, by
Step 402 ... deep or light poor, the area threshold of inspection door is cut apart in setting,
Set the threshold value in the damaged detection of the general portion of screw thread.The threshold value of deep or light difference particularly detects the pixel darker than the threshold value setting, and area threshold is the threshold number of pixels that becomes the piece of this dark pixel below deep or light difference limen value.Afterwards, by
Step 403 ... have than the dark pixel of deep or light difference limen value cutting apart inspection door?
Judge whether the pixel below deep or light difference limen value respectively cutting apart in inspection door, the in the situation that of NO, be judged to be certified products (the general portion of screw thread is without breakage), the in the situation that of YES, by
Step 304 ... there is there the image over area threshold cutting apart inspection door?
Whether the pixel count that judgement becomes the piece below deep or light difference limen value surpasses area threshold, the in the situation that of NO, is judged to be certified products (the general portion of screw thread is without breakage), and the in the situation that of YES, being judged to be the general portion of screw thread has breakage (defect).
Shown in Figure 14 is because of the breakage 73 of the general portion of screw thread, to have the example of the situation of breakage image 73a, because breakage image 73a is darker than other parts of cutting apart inspection door, so be judged to be the general portion of screw thread, has breakage (defect).
(screw thread peripheral part is damaged to be detected)
Secondly, based on Figure 15, the damaged detection of 16 explanation screw thread peripheral part.
By step 501 ... set neighboring detection that the line with radial direction is split to form the annular section that comprises ring-type inspection door with cutting apart inspection door,
In mouth images, setting neighboring detects with cutting apart inspection door 26.As shown in figure 16, in the middle of the preferred screw thread of annular section neighboring 20a now enters into.Neighboring is detected with cutting apart inspection door 26 by the part of thread end inspection door 23(pattern match) except part.
By step 502 ... in neighboring, detect with cutting apart inspection door and set the light sensitivity that detects neighboring,
As at Figure 16 hypomere with as shown in thick arrow, outside-in detects with cutting apart inspection door search neighboring, and detection becomes the position of the neighboring more than lightness of having set light sensitivity.By light sensitivity, set, can set and detect the edge that deep or light difference is high or detect the edge that deep or light difference is low.
By step 503 ... set adjacent neighboring and detect by the poor threshold value in neighboring of cutting apart inspection door,
Calculating detects by the detected distance (Figure 16 hypomere dotted arrow) from position, neighboring to centre coordinate of inspection door each neighboring.By calculate the poor of the distance calculate each other at adjacent door at periphery complete cycle, calculate the concavo-convex of periphery.The threshold value of the difference while being set with difference.Afterwards, by
Step 504 ... there is there the image over neighboring difference limen value?
If the hypomere at Figure 16 is with as shown in arrow, from each neighboring, detect with the lateral direction of cutting apart inspection door to the inside direction scan, the distance of calculating from the marginal position that detects to centre coordinate, and each adjacent neighboring is detected and asked poor with cutting apart inspection door, judge that whether this difference surpasses threshold value, the in the situation that of NO, is judged to be certified products (screw thread peripheral part is without breakage), the in the situation that of YES, being judged to be screw thread peripheral part has breakage (defect).
What Figure 16 hypomere represented is because of the breakage 74 of screw thread peripheral part, to have the situation of breakage image 74a, thus, the neighboring of this part is detected with the edge detecting of cutting apart inspection door short to this adjacent length of the Length Ratio at center, detects screw thread peripheral part damaged.
(end face is damaged to be detected)
Secondly, based on Figure 17, the damaged detection of 18 explanation screw thread peripheral part.
By step 601 ... setting is split to form mouth top part end face with the line of radial direction is cut apart the processing of inspection door,
The top plane view of the ring-type in mouth images is as the end face inspection door 27 of setting ring-type on 75a.The establishing method of end face inspection door 27 is varied, for example, have the periphery that the circle of all rounded edge 21a fractional pixels in radius ratio is made as to end face inspection door, the circle of its also little suitable pixel count of radius ratio is made as to the method in interior week.In addition, with the line of radial direction, end face inspection door 27 is cut apart, set as shown in figure 18 end face and cut apart inspection door 27a.Afterwards, by
Step 602 ... set end face and cut apart deep or light poor, the area threshold of inspection door,
Set the threshold value in the damaged detection of end face.The threshold value of deep or light difference particularly detects than the dark pixel of the threshold value setting or the pixel brighter than the threshold value setting, and area threshold is become than the dark pixel of this deep or light difference limen value or than this deep or light difference limen, be worth the threshold number of pixels of the piece of bright pixel.Afterwards, by
Step 603 ... at end face, cut apart inspection door and have the image that surpasses deep or light difference limen value?
