2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a rice grain discriminating apparatus that irradiates rice grains with light and measures transmitted light or reflected light to determine defects such as cracks and cracks of the rice grains is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. Hei.
It is known from Japanese Patent Publication No. 0-288858. FIG. 4 shows such a conventional rice grain discriminating apparatus. In FIG. 4, a rotating plate 71 which is a light-impermeable member provided with a large number of depressions 72 for accommodating grains G above a transparent member 58.
The rotating plate 71 rotates, and the depressions 72 arrive at the optical measurement points in order, and the grain G placed in the depressions 72 is measured. When measuring grain G, which is a sample,
Move the standard plate holder 59 to the position A shown by the solid line,
The measurement opening 60 of the standard plate holder 59 is positioned directly below the grain G. Thereby, the light irradiation units 77 and 78
Is irradiated on the grain G, and the reflected light or transmitted light thereof is received by each of the detectors 89, 89, and optical measurement is performed. On the other hand, in this rice grain discriminating apparatus, when measuring the standard plate 61 itself for correction of the optical measurement system, the standard plate holder 59 is moved to the position B indicated by the broken line by the driving means such as the air cylinder 62. . Thereby, since the standard plate 61 comes to the measurement position, the standard plate 6 of the light from the light irradiation units 77 and 78
The light reflected or transmitted by 1 can be measured by each detector 89,89.
