【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明はポリアミド樹脂成形体に介在するピンホールやクラック等の内部欠陥を非破壊検査する欠陥検査方法及びその装置に係わり、詳しくは超音波探傷器を用いて欠陥部を探査してその樹脂成形体の外周面に欠陥の有無をマークで可視化する技術に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、ポリアミド樹脂成形体を検査台上に設けた受けロール上に横に載置して、ぬれ雑巾で外周面を濡らしておいて、片手で回しながらもう一方の手にポータブルタイプの探傷ヘッドを持って、表面上を接触させて横移動させながら探傷画面を注視して、異常波を捉えては赤鉛筆に持ち代えてその異常箇所に線引きするマークを施していた。この様に、全て人手で検査を行っていた。
【0003】
この従来の超音波探傷技術に関するものとして、例えば特開平10−282068号公報がある。これによればローラー型探触子を備えた超音波探傷器を用いて、被覆厚みが10ミリ以下の薄肉からなる樹脂被覆金属体の欠陥検査をする事を特徴とするもので、被検査体の形状や材質を異にし、加えて製造形態も使途も異なるものであった。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかし、ポリアミド樹脂成形体は、筒状の金型に樹脂液を注型し重合成形した無垢の樹脂棒或いは金型の中心部に棒状の芯金を置き樹脂液を注型し重合成形した芯金の入った樹脂棒で形成されており、この樹脂部に介在するピンホールやクラック等の内部欠陥不良を防止することにある。
【0005】
また、前述のように人手で回しながら探触子で外周面をなぞって触診し、画面上の異常波を捉えて、赤鉛筆を取ってその位置にマークし、これを繰り返して全表面を探査するのに相当の手間を要しており且つ人手故にマーク表記の位置ズレや欠陥の見落とし等の作業バラツキやポカミス発生の問題があった。
【0006】
しかして、このような問題点を改善した信頼性が高く、処理速度が速くて安価な自動機械化が求められるところであった。本発明はこんな人手による非破壊検査工程から、人手を廃して処理速度が速く処理精度の高い検査の機械化を行うポリアミド樹脂成形体の内部欠陥を自動探傷出来る技術を提供することにある。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記問題を解決する請求項1記載のポリアミド樹脂成形体の欠陥検査方法の発明では、筒状金型で重合成形したポリアミド樹脂成形体の内部欠陥を超音波探傷法を用いて欠点の有無を検査するに当たり、前記ポリアミド樹脂成形体を水没させて定速回転させながら、水中でその外表面に超音波探触子を近接させて超音波を入射し、前記樹脂成形体の一端から他端へ軸線方向に定速送りして全外表面を走査し,前記樹脂成形体内部に介在する内部欠陥部からの超音波反射波を検出し、その欠陥箇所の外表面に前記ポリアミド樹脂成形体の外周面に溝を刻んでその溝部に着色を施したマーキングを行って内部の見えない欠陥の有無を可視化することを特徴としている。
【0008】
とりわけ、ポリアミド樹脂成形体の内部欠陥を外部より探査し欠点箇所を検査して、その欠陥箇所に消えないマーキングを施して一目で判る可視化への対応が可能になる。また、樹脂成形体の外周面に溝を刻んで傷を付けることでマークが消えてしまうトラブルが無くなり、更にその溝に着色を施こすから視認性を高める事が出来た。
【0010】
請求項2記載のポリアミド樹脂成形体の欠陥検査装置は、筒状金型で重合成形したポリアミド樹脂成形体の内部欠陥を超音波探傷器を用いて探査するにあたり、前記ポリアミド樹脂成形体を水没出来る水槽と、横置きし回転する上記樹脂成形体の下面側に外接して下から受ける並行な2軸から成る駆動自在な複数の回転ロールと少なくとも一端面に上記樹脂成形体の回転による軸線方向の横ズレを抑える着座手段を備えて前記水槽に水没出来る載置手段と、前記ポリアミド樹脂成形体を水没させる第1位置と、水槽上で出入れの容易な第2位置とを変更自在とする昇降手段と、回転する前記樹脂成形体の外周面上に跨った超音波探触子の近接設置部と前記樹脂成形体の外径に応じて上下自在な高さ変更部と外径バラツキを吸収する高さ微調整部と前記樹脂成形体の軸方向に送り自在の横送り部とを備えた走査手段と、探傷終了後に前記昇降手段を第2位置に上昇させて前記樹脂成形体を引き上げマーキングを施マーキング手段と、を設けたことを特徴としたものである。
【0011】
この検査装置の構成によって、ポリアミド樹脂成形体の内部欠陥の超音波探傷器を好適に活用できて、成形体の径サイズに応じて探触子の設置高さを合わせてやれば、バラツキは吸収して探触子を微調整することも無く自動で機械走査が実現出来た。
【0012】
請求項3に記載のポリアミド樹脂成形体の欠陥検査装置では、請求項3の構成において、前記載置手段が平行な横置き2軸を一体で傾斜させてその2軸間に前記樹脂成形体を跨がせて載置し軸線の芯出しを行い、更にその傾斜した軸線の下端側に回転自在な着座部を備えて長さ方向の位置決めを行うものである。これによれば、載置手段上へのポリアミド樹脂成形体の搬入時に細かな位置決めが不要で、横方向の位置出しは自動的に出来て、かつセンサで位置だし作動を監視できる。
【0013】
請求項4に記載のポリアミド樹脂成形体の欠陥検査装置では、請求項2の構成において、前記マーキング手段が前記超音波探触子の横送り部と共用化して設けてある。これによれば、横送り機構が重複せず簡素化できる。
【0014】
請求項5に記載のポリアミド樹脂成形体の欠陥検査装置では、請求項2又は4の構成において、前記マーキング手段が溝を付けるカッタとその溝の内面に着色するインクジェットから成っている。これによれば樹脂成形体の表面に溝がつくから消えることが無い。併せて溝を着色するから溝内のインクは剥がれ難くい。
【0015】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明のポリアミド樹脂成形体の欠陥検査方法及びその欠陥検査装置の実施形態について、図1〜図8を参照して説明する。先ず欠陥検査装置についてその基本構成から詳述する。図1〜3には本発明に係わる欠陥検査装置の正面、上面、側面図を示している。
【0016】
先ずパルス反射法で全没水浸して垂直探傷を行う超音波探傷器を使って、ポリアミド樹脂成形体F(以降、単に成形体と呼ぶ)の載置手段4と、水没させる水槽3と、水槽に出し入れする昇降手段5と、超音波探触子6の設置高さ変更調整部や横送り部を備えた走査手段と、欠陥をマークして可視化するマーキング手段7とから構成するものである。
【0017】
超音波探傷器は、図4にその構成を示すが、探触子6と超音波探傷器本体101と表示器102からなり、探触子6は成形体Fの表面に所定の水距離をもって近接させて、超音波探傷器本体101は送受信機能を持ったパルサレシーバと欠陥を判定するデータプロセッサと探傷波形を監視出来るオッシロスコープから構成された公知技術である。
【0018】
次に本発明に係わる載置手段4は、成形体Fを横置きして全周走査出来る様に所定速で回転し、横ズレ無く成形体Fを着座させて水槽に水没出来る様にしてあり、水槽3は探触子6と成形体Fを前記回転載置手段4と伴に水没させ超音波探査を有効にし、水中の異物除去が出来る。昇降手段5は水槽に出し入れする機構である。
【0019】
ついで走査手段8は、水槽3に水没させて載置手段4で回転する成形体Fの外周面上部に、ローラガイドを備えて局面に跨がせてその本体上に超音波探触子6a、6bを成形体表面に近接させる保持車42とその外径高さに変更設置する高さ変更部9と外周径のバラツキや回転振れの多少を吸収出来る高さ微調整部10とを備えて水距離分を離して近接させるローラガイドを備えた近接設置部103を押し付けて他端へ移動させる横送り部11から構成されて、そのローラガイド部に着装した超音波探触子6で回転する成形体Fの表面上を軸線に平行に走査する。
【0020】
続いてマーキング手段7は、前記走査手段8を用いてカッタ81とインクジェット51を機能させて、成形体F上を横送りして超音波探傷器本体101に保持した欠陥データを再生しながら、欠陥位置に対応した成形体Fの外周面上に一周したリング状のマークを付けるものである。
【0021】
引き続いて、以下上述した個別要部について、図面を用いて詳述する。先ず本発明の載置手段4については、図3の側面断面図に示す様に、背板20と一体となったワーク受台19、2列の回転ローラ軸14、軸芯着座部12、2軸回転駆動部13とから構成されている。
【0022】
先ずワーク受台19は、垂直な壁面として設けた背板20とこれに直角にして棚状の底面として作製してある。図2の上面図に示すように、平行な回転2軸14を軸受ブラケット21a,21b,21cに挿通して回転可能に軸支し、軸上には部分的に筒状の回転ロール15が嵌挿され、長手の成形体Fの要所要所に外接して支持している。
【0023】
図2中で、平行な回転2軸14の左端部には、2軸回転駆動部13が配してあり、タイミングプーリ22が嵌着されて2軸間にタイミングベルトが張架してあり連動回転できる。更にその中の一軸はさらに軸端が張り出してタイミングプーリ22が更に嵌着してあり、水没しない様に上方に配設した駆動モータ23にタイミングベルトで連結されている(図1参照)。
【0024】
次に図2の上面図のように、前述の平行な2軸上に載置した成形体Fの右端面の軸心で芯押しする軸芯着座部12が平行な2軸の中間軸線上に設けてある。その詳細を図6に示す様に、横置きで右方に傾斜して載置された成形体Fは下受けされた回転ロール15上を滑ってその右端面を軸高さを合致させた芯押しロッド18により制止されて軸方向の位置決めがされる。
【0025】
この制止時に、成形体Fが確かに載置されて右端に位置決めされたことを検出できるように軸芯着座部12にはセンサ93が設けてあり、滑ってきた成形体Fの滑り押し力で押された芯押しロッド18は内蔵するスプリング55が負けて回転軸に嵌着したストップピン56により芯押しロッド18の溝端57で制止されるこの動きで芯押しロッド18に止着したフランジカラ92が非接触のセンサ93を作動させて検出できる。
【0026】
次に水槽3については、図1に正面断面、図2に上面、図3に側面断面を示している。図1に示すように水面高さを決定する堰板25で2つに区画してあり、その上辺高さ以上に成ると溢れて図中左側の区画底部にこぼれて、図示しない貯水タンクに給水出口27から戻り配管してある。成形体Fを水没させてオーバフローしたタンク内の水はこの配管を経て貯水タンクに戻される。その際にストレーナで濾過して異物を除去してある。他の区画は、成形体Fの水没槽であり槽内の水を底部の給水入口26から補給し、排水口28を水抜きとして設けてある。
【0027】
次いで昇降手段5については、図3の側面断面と図2上面図に示すように、背板20をシリンダ33を伸張させて上昇させ、成形体Fが水槽の上方に位置する第2位置P2とし、シリンダ33を縮小させて背板20を下降させることで成形体Fを水没させる第1位置P1と出来る。この昇降作動を摺動支持するリニアレール34が架構2の鉛直面に止着してあり、リニア軸受35が背板の背面の鉛直面に止着した取付ブラケット36の鉛直面上に着装されて、接続ブラケット32の上下力でスムースに作動できる。
【0028】
続いて走査手段8については、超音波探触子6の保持車42、高さ変更部9、高さ微調整部10、横送り部11から構成してあり、図5にその詳細正面、また図4には側面を示している。ここで超音波探触子6は、成形体Fの表面に外接する2個のガイドローラ41を備えた保持車42のローラ間に成形体Fの表面から浮かせて着装してある(図4参照)。
【0029】
先ず超音波探触子6の保持車42については、図4に側面、図5に正面を示してあり、断面が逆L形状で下端には2個のガイドローラ41を設けて成形体Fの外周円と外接して跨る格好で成形体の軸芯に向けてある。また、ここでは、超音波探触子6は2台6a,6bで構成(図5参照)してあり、中心部に芯金が入ったポリアミド樹脂成形体Fの樹脂層の内部欠陥探傷において、その表面から芯金面までの深さで表面から中間部と中間部から芯金面との探傷に分割探査する様に使い分けている。
【0030】
次に探触子の高さ変更部9は、成形体Fの直径サイズの変更に応じて成形体Fの表面に外接する保持車42の高さをそのサイズに対応させて合致させる機構であり、図5に示してある。これは保持車42等が装着してあるスライド板62を成形体Fから接離出来るように、ベース板58上に2本のガイドロッド59を設けて、スライド板62の背面にこのロッド59に挿通されたガイドブッシングを取付けてスムースに上下動可能に支持してある。
【0031】
更に2本のガイドロッド59の中間にボールスクリュウ65の螺子軸を配して前述のスライド板62の背面に設けたスクリュウナットに螺子噛合せして、螺子軸の上端に装着した回転ハンドル66を正逆転させて前述のスライド板62を上下にスライド作動させる。更に上下させた位置のズレを防ぐ為にシャフトロック用の割カラ63がスライド板62に設けてあり、ロックハンドル64を回して締め込んでガイドロッド59を掴んで固定出来るようにしてある。
【0032】
続いて探触子の高さ微調整部10は、上述の高さ変更後の走査中の上下動のふらつきに対して、それに追従して探触子6の近接高さを確保するように高さのバラツキを常時吸収するように構成してあり、図4、図5に示すように、前述のスライド板62上に着装されたシリンダ52のロッド端に連結ブラケット49を止着してその下面46から更に下方に設けた保持車42との間にコイルスプリング44を介在させて伸縮自在に構成してある。
【0033】
これは保持車42上面に2本のガイドシャフト45を設けて連結ブラケット49の下面46を挿通してその間のシャフト45にコイルスプリング44を外挿してそのシャフト先端は固定フランジ48で閉じてあり、スプリングが伸張するとこの固定フランジ48の下面が連結ブラケット49の下面46の挿通部に嵌めてあるスプリングガイド座47の上面と接して緊張支持し、スプリングが圧縮されると前述の固定フランジ48の下面とスプリングガイド座47の上面との隙間が開いてコイルスプリング44の圧縮を吸収できる。これにより常時、保持車42を上下自在に高さ微調整が出来て上下動の変動に追従出来る。
【0034】
続いて横送り部11は、図5に示す超音波探触子6とマーキング手段7と高さ変更部9と高さ微調整部10を着装したベース板58を、一括横送りする機構であり、図1にその正面、図2にその上面、図3にその側面を図示している。横行スライド用のリニア軸受77とリニアレール78と、横行用ベルト72,プーリ73と駆動用のパルスモータ74とベース板58に横行用ベルト72を接続する連結金具70とから構成してある。
【0035】
先ず図3に示す様に、ベース板58は背板20の垂直面の水没しない上方位置に横送り用の水平方向に2本のリニアレール78を止着してこのレール78にリニア軸受77をベース板58に止着してありスムースに横移動が出来る。
【0036】
このベース板58の上端面に連結金具70を水平方向でに背面側へ延設してこれを横方向に押し引きさせて駆動する構成である。図2の上面のように、背板20の背面側の両端部に図2中で左方端部は駆動軸とし、右方端は従動プーリを設けてこの間に横行ベルト72を掛架して、図1正面のようにそのベルトの上列と連結金具70とを締結してこのベルトを一端から他端まで回転走行させてこの間で正転逆転させることで横方向の往復動が出来る。
【0037】
この回転駆動は、図3に図示している様に背板20の背面に取付ブラケット71を止着して駆動プーリ84を軸支し、軸継ぎ手76を経てパルスモータ74に直結してあり、これによって、駆動プーリ84が回転される。
【0038】
続いて、マーキング手段7は、探傷結果に基づいて欠点箇所をエアーブロー38してカッタ81とインクジェット51を機能させて、成形体F上を横送りして超音波探傷器本体101に保持した欠陥データを再生しながら、欠陥位置に対応した成形体Fの外周面上にリング状のマークを付けるものであり、カッタ81、ホルダカラー82、カッタアーム83、接離シリンダ52c、エアーブロー38、インクジェット39から構成されて、図5にその正面を、またエアーブロー38、インクジェット39は図8に図示してある。後述するが、このこのマーキングでは、成形体Fを第2位置P2に上昇させて行う様に構成されている。
【0039】
水没させて超音波探触子6で探傷し、欠陥を捉えて不良判定し不良部位を長さ方向と対応させて記録保持して、ここでは一往復の横送りで探傷後、タンク上方に上昇させて引き上げ、探触子6に代えてカッタを機能させて、再度一往復の横送り中に先の欠陥記録を再生して、対応する不良位置にカッタ81を押し付けて溝を付けた上で、インクジェット39で溝内面にインクを吹き付けて着色する。
【0040】
先ず図5を用いて、探触子6a、6b及びカッタ81とエアーブロー38とインクジェット39を備えたマーキング手段7をベース板58上に装着して横送りを好適に共用化した機構について説明する。横送り自在に構成したベース板58上で上下方向に高さが変更できる高さ変更部9を備えたスライド板62上に、探触子6a,6bとマーキング手段7が着装してある。
【0041】
探触子6a,6bは高さ微調整部10を介在させて作用位置と待機位置を伸縮によって切り替えるシリンダ52a,52bと一体化し、その上部にあるシリンダ52a,52bをスライド板62上に取付けブラケット53a,53bを設けて止着着装してある。
【0042】
次にマーキング手段7は、同様に作用位置と待機位置を伸縮によって切り替えるシリンダ52cをスライド板62上に取付けブラケット53cを介して着装し、そのシリンダロッド下方にカッタアーム83を設けて、図8に示す様にシリンダ52cの伸張とその力によって丸刃状のカッタ81を回転する成形体F上に所定タイマ時間で押し付けて溝をつける。
【0043】
丸刃のカッタ81は両面からホルダカラー82で挟み込んで支持しカッタ軸がカッタアーム83に回転軸支されている。シリンダ52cの伸縮で刃先が、回転中の成形体Fの表面に押し付けられてその外周を一周させてリング状の傷を刻んで、マーキングする。
【0044】
同時に、カッタアーム83に着装したエアーブローガン38、インクジェットガン39を機能させて溝近辺に残留する水を吹き払い、耐水性のインクを溝上に塗布して着色する。これらの動作順はカッタアーム83の下降開始から所定時間で溝付けとエアーブローし、その時間後インクジェットガン39で所定時間の黒色インク塗布を行いリング状のマークを行っている。
【0045】
次に、上述のポリアミド樹脂成形体の内部欠陥を外部より探査する超音波検査装置を用いて検査処理する超音波検査方法について、図7の作動ブロック図を用いて説明する。1)先ずSTARTでは、載置手段4は水槽3上方のP2位置、超音波探触子6a、6bとマーキング手段7はシリンダが52cが収縮して上方位置となり左端待機位置にあり、水槽3には水が満たして循環させている。
【0046】
2)ここで(成形体の載置)S1を行う。先ず載置しようとする成形体Fの外径に基づいて、軸芯着座部12をゲージの所定目印にセットする。続いて棒状の成形体Fを横にして欠陥検査装置1の載置手段4の2軸の回転ロール15上に跨がせて、概ね成形体Fの右端面が軸芯着座部12の芯押しロッド18に接する様に載置する(図1のP1位置をタンク上方のP2位置として参照)。
【0047】
3)以下、(受け台下降)S2の起動とともに(マーキング)S9の完了まで自動で工程を進めている。受け台19の下降に伴って成形体Fを載せて載置手段4が水没してP1位置に成る。この水没に伴い、排水されて堰板25を溢れた水が給水出口27から水槽下に設けた図示しない貯水タンクに回収され、ゴミを濾過して給水出口26から水槽3に給水循環してある。
【0048】
4)続いて、(成形体回転)S3が始まり水没して傾斜した成形体Fは、その自重で横滑りを始める。丁度その横滑りを軸芯着座部12の先端である芯押しロッド18が受ける。押された芯押しロッド18は内臓したスプリング55が押されて突き当たり状態でセンサー93が検知し、(着座センサ:ON/OFF?)S4はONの場合に次工程に歩進しONに成らないと(成形体回転)S3を継続する。
【0049】
5)次いで(探触子横行・探傷)S5の工程に入る。着座センサ93が成形体Fの位置決めを確認して、探傷準備が整ったので、探傷を実行する。先ず探触子6aは待機位置から成形体Fの左端位置に横送りされ停止する。まず超音波探触子6aが水没して回転中の、成形体F上に下降して2個のガイドローラ41を表面に跨がせて保持車42を定置してその保持車42に着装してある超音波探触子6aが予め求められた近接位置にセットされる。
【0050】
続いて探傷準備が整ったので、予め求められた所定の速度で、他端の所定位置まで横移動し全外表面を走査して停止する。この間、横方向位置に対応させて欠陥位置が保持されている。次いで、戻り工程では超音波探触子6aをシリンダ52aで縮めて代わって超音波探触子6bをシリンダ52bを伸張し超音波探触子6bを近接セットする。探触子6a,6bの横方向位置が異なるから横位置を再設定して横方向に探傷しながら引き返して、元の位置に戻り、超音波探触子6bを上昇させる。この時、(探傷:完了/未了?)S6では、走査距離とこの間の制御異常の有無により完了未了の判定をして、完了時は次に歩進する。
【0051】
6)ついで(成形体上昇)S7に入る。ここでは(受け台下降)S2の逆動作を行うもので、下降している受け台19の上昇によってP2位置に戻る。上述の欠陥検査結果、(欠陥:有無?)S8において有の場合は、次(マーキング)S9へ進む、また無の場合は(成形体搬出)S10に進む。但し欠陥検査で、欠陥箇所数が予め設定した数量より多い場合には、マーキングをスキップして取り除く処置がしてある。
【0052】
7)続いて(マーキング)S9である。ここでは、前述の超音波探触子6a、6bに代えてカッタ81を機能させて、前述の超音波探触子6a、6bが欠陥を検出した位置の外周にマーキングをするもので。横方向では、超音波探触子6a,6bとカッタ81とで取付横位置が異なるから、その差分をデータ中で補正して探触子6とカッタを同位置としてある。軸方向の欠陥位置に停止し、マーキング用のカッタ81を押し付けタイマ時間の間、押し付けて溝付けてマーキングする。
【0053】
8)次いで(成形体の搬出)S10では、超音波探触子6a、6bとマーキング手段7は何れもシリンダ52が収縮して上方位置に収納状態にあって、先ずこれらを左端の待機位置に戻す。これにより上方が開放され載置手段4上で多少傾斜して横になった丸棒を、素手又は軽便な吊り具で取り出しできるものである。
【0054】
尚、本発明のポリアミド樹脂成形体の方法及びその欠陥検査装置では、図1〜図8に示すものに限定されず、例えば次の様な形態に変更実施して良い。
1)超音波探触子の近接設置部に係わり、前記樹脂成形体の外径に応じて上下自在な高さ変更部について、人手による変更機構を例示しているが多種少量への対応時は、成形体の外径を指図データで与えて自動的に高さが変更できる機構を用いる事が出来る。
【0055】
【発明の効果】
請求項1に記載のポリアミド樹脂成形体の欠陥検査方法では、成形体の断面内部にある欠陥の存在を、破壊することなく欠陥箇所に施したマーキングによって可視化した事で、欠陥不良の流出を防止でき、マーキングが消えることなく、また見えやすく着色してあるから、人手による欠陥の見落としが防止できて、欠陥の流出が防げた。
【0057】
請求項2に記載のポリアミド樹脂成形体の欠陥検査装置では、人手によらず自動で機械走査が出来るから、人に頼る検査に比して、検査バラツキや探査の信頼性が格段に向上し、マーキングも確実に早く実施できるようになった。
【0058】
請求項3に記載のポリアミド樹脂成形体の欠陥検査装置では、ポリアミド樹脂成形体の搬入に位置決めに厄介な手間も要らず、センサで監視できるから、横方向の走査で位置精度が向上しマーキング精度が遥かに良くなった。
【0059】

Conventionally, a polyamide resin molded body is placed horizontally on a receiving roll provided on an inspection table, the outer peripheral surface is wetted with a wet cloth, and a portable type flaw detection head is placed in the other hand while turning with one hand. Then, while observing the flaw detection screen while touching the surface and moving it sideways, if an abnormal wave was caught, it was replaced with a red pencil and a mark was drawn to draw the abnormal part. In this way, all inspections were performed manually.
[0003]
For example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-282068 discloses a conventional ultrasonic flaw detection technique. According to this, a defect inspection of a resin-coated metal body having a coating thickness of 10 mm or less is performed using an ultrasonic flaw detector equipped with a roller-type probe. In addition, the shape and material were different, and the manufacturing form and usage were also different.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]

It can operate smoothly by the vertical force of the connection bracket 32.
[0028]
Subsequently, the scanning means 8 is composed of a holding wheel 42 for the ultrasonic probe 6, a height changing unit 9, a fine height adjusting unit 10, and a lateral feed unit 11. FIG. FIG. 4 shows a side view. Here, the ultrasonic probe 6 is mounted so as to float from the surface of the molded body F between the rollers of a holding wheel 42 provided with two guide rollers 41 circumscribing the surface of the molded body F (see FIG. 4). ).
[0029]

[0030]
Next, the probe height changing unit 9 is a mechanism for matching the height of the holding wheel 42 circumscribing the surface of the molded body F in accordance with the change in the diameter size of the molded body F in accordance with the size. This is shown in FIG. This is because two guide rods 59 are provided on the base plate 58 so that the slide plate 62 to which the holding wheel 42 or the like is attached can be moved away from the molded body F, and the rod 59 is attached to the back surface of the slide plate 62. The inserted guide bushing is attached and supported so that it can move up and down smoothly.

When the spring is extended, the lower surface of the fixing flange 48 comes into contact with the upper surface of the spring guide seat 47 fitted in the insertion portion of the lower surface 46 of the connecting bracket 49 and is supported by tension. When the spring is compressed, the lower surface of the fixing flange 48 is compressed. And a clearance between the upper surface of the spring guide seat 47 and the compression of the coil spring 44 can be absorbed. As a result, the height of the holding wheel 42 can be finely adjusted up and down at all times, and the fluctuation of the vertical movement can be followed.
[0034]
Subsequently, the lateral feed unit 11 is a mechanism that collectively feeds the base plate 58 on which the ultrasonic probe 6, the marking unit 7, the height changing unit 9, and the fine height adjusting unit 10 shown in FIG. 5 are mounted. FIG. 1 is a front view thereof, FIG. 2 is a top view thereof, and FIG. 3 is a side view thereof. It comprises a linear bearing 77 for traversing slide, a linear rail 78, a traversing belt 72, a pulley 73, a driving pulse motor 74, and a connecting metal fitting 70 that connects the traversing belt 72 to the base plate 58.

It is fastened to the base plate 58 and can be moved laterally smoothly.
[0036]
The connecting plate 70 is extended in the horizontal direction on the upper end surface of the base plate 58 in the horizontal direction, and is driven by being pushed and pulled in the horizontal direction. As shown in the upper surface of FIG. 2, the left end in FIG. 2 is used as a drive shaft at both ends on the back side of the back plate 20, and a driven pulley is provided at the right end, and a transverse belt 72 is suspended between them. As shown in the front of FIG. 1, the upper row of the belt and the connecting metal fitting 70 are fastened, the belt is rotated from one end to the other end, and the belt is rotated in the normal direction.
[0037]
As shown in FIG. 3, this rotational driving is performed by attaching a mounting bracket 71 to the back surface of the back plate 20, supporting a drive pulley 84, and directly connecting to a pulse motor 74 via a shaft joint 76. As a result, the drive pulley 84 is rotated.
[0038]
Subsequently, the marking means 7 uses the blown air 38 for the defect portion based on the flaw detection result to cause the cutter 81 and the ink jet 51 to function, and the defect is held in the ultrasonic flaw detector main body 101 by traversing the formed body F. While reproducing the data, a ring-shaped mark is attached on the outer peripheral surface of the molded body F corresponding to the defect position. The cutter 81, the holder collar 82, the cutter arm 83, the contacting / separating cylinder 52c, the air blow 38, the ink jet 5, the front face is shown in FIG. 5, and the air blow 38 and the ink jet 39 are shown in FIG. As will be described later, this marking is configured such that the molded body F is raised to the second position P2.
[0039]
Submerged, flaw detected with ultrasonic probe 6, catches defect, determines defect, records and holds defective portion corresponding to the length direction, and in this case, flaw detection is performed by one reciprocating lateral feed and then rises above the tank Then, the cutter is made to function instead of the probe 6, and the previous defect record is reproduced again during one reciprocating lateral feed, and the cutter 81 is pressed to the corresponding defective position to form a groove. Then, ink is sprayed on the inner surface of the groove with the inkjet 39 to color.
[0040]
First, referring to FIG. 5, a mechanism in which the marking means 7 including the probes 6a and 6b, the cutter 81, the air blow 38, and the ink jet 39 is mounted on the base plate 58 and the lateral feed is suitably shared will be described. . The probes 6a and 6b and the marking means 7 are mounted on a slide plate 62 having a height changing portion 9 that can change the height in the vertical direction on a base plate 58 configured to be capable of lateral feed.
[0041]
Probes 6a and 6b are integrated with cylinders 52a and 52b, which switch the working position and standby position by expansion and contraction with height fine adjustment unit 10 interposed therebetween. 53a and 53b are provided and fastened.
[0042]
Next, the marking means 7 similarly mounts a cylinder 52c that switches between an operating position and a standby position by expansion and contraction on a slide plate 62 via a mounting bracket 53c, and provides a cutter arm 83 below the cylinder rod. As shown in the drawing, a groove is formed by pressing the round blade-shaped cutter 81 on the formed body F rotating for a predetermined timer time by the extension of the cylinder 52c and its force.
[0043]
A round blade cutter 81 is sandwiched and supported by holder collars 82 from both sides, and the cutter shaft is supported by a cutter arm 83 as a rotary shaft. The cutting edge is pressed against the surface of the rotating molded body F by the expansion and contraction of the cylinder 52c, and the outer periphery of the blade 52 makes a circle around it to make a ring-shaped scratch and perform marking.
[0044]
At the same time, the air blow gun 38 and the ink jet gun 39 attached to the cutter arm 83 are made to function to blow off water remaining in the vicinity of the groove, and water-resistant ink is applied onto the groove to be colored. In this order of operation, grooving and air blowing are performed for a predetermined time from the start of lowering of the cutter arm 83, and after that time, black ink is applied for a predetermined time by the ink jet gun 39 to form a ring-shaped mark.
[0045]
Next, an ultrasonic inspection method in which an inspection process is performed using an ultrasonic inspection apparatus that searches for internal defects of the above-described polyamide resin molded body from the outside will be described with reference to an operation block diagram of FIG. 1) First, in START, the mounting means 4 is at the P2 position above the water tank 3, the ultrasonic probes 6a and 6b and the marking means 7 are in the upper position as the cylinder 52c contracts and is at the left end standby position. Is filled with water and circulated.
[0046]
2) S1 is performed here (placement of the molded body). First, based on the outer diameter of the molded body F to be placed, the shaft core seat 12 is set to a predetermined mark on the gauge. Subsequently, the rod-shaped molded body F is laid across the biaxial rotating roll 15 of the mounting means 4 of the defect inspection apparatus 1 so that the right end surface of the molded body F is generally pressed by the core seating portion 12. It mounts so that it may contact | connect the rod 18 (refer P1 position of FIG. 1 as P2 position above a tank).
[0047]
3) Hereinafter, the process is automatically advanced until the completion of (marking) S9 with the activation of (cradle descending) S2. As the cradle 19 is lowered, the molded body F is placed and the mounting means 4 is submerged to the P1 position. Along with this submergence, the water that has been drained and overflowed the weir plate 25 is collected from a water supply outlet 27 to a water storage tank (not shown) provided below the water tank, and filtered from the water outlet 26 to the water tank 3 through the water supply outlet 26 .
[0048]
4) Subsequently, (molded body rotation) S3 starts, and the molded body F that has been submerged and inclined starts to skid by its own weight. Just the side slip is received by the core pushing rod 18 which is the tip of the shaft core seating portion 12. The pressed core push rod 18 is pressed by the built-in spring 55 and is detected by the sensor 93 in the abutting state. When (Sitting sensor: ON / OFF?) S4 is ON, it advances to the next process and does not turn ON. And (molded body rotation) S3 is continued.
[0049]
5) Next (probe traverse / flaw detection), the process enters S5. Since the seating sensor 93 confirms the positioning of the molded body F and is ready for flaw detection, flaw detection is executed. First, the probe 6a is laterally fed from the standby position to the left end position of the molded body F and stopped. First, the ultrasonic probe 6a is submerged and rotating, descends on the molded body F, and the holding wheel 42 is fixed with the two guide rollers 41 straddling the surface, and is mounted on the holding wheel 42. The ultrasonic probe 6a is set at a proximity position obtained in advance.
[0050]
Subsequently, since the flaw detection preparation is completed, it is laterally moved to a predetermined position at the other end at a predetermined speed determined in advance, and the entire outer surface is scanned and stopped. During this time, the defect position is held in correspondence with the lateral position. Next, in the return step, the ultrasonic probe 6a is contracted by the cylinder 52a, and instead the ultrasonic probe 6b is extended by the cylinder 52b and the ultrasonic probe 6b is set in proximity. Since the lateral positions of the probes 6a and 6b are different, the lateral position is reset, the probe 6a and 6b are returned to the original position while being scanned in the lateral direction, and the ultrasonic probe 6b is raised. At this time (flaw detection: completed / incomplete?) In S6, the completion is determined to be incomplete based on the scanning distance and the presence or absence of a control abnormality during this time, and when completed, the next step is performed.
[0051]
6) Then (molded body rise) enters S7. Here, the reverse operation of the cradle descending S2 is performed, and the P2 position is returned to when the cradle 19 is lowered. As a result of the defect inspection described above (defect: presence?), If it is present in S8, the process proceeds to the next (marking) S9, and if not (procedure of the molded body), the process proceeds to S10. However, in the defect inspection, if the number of defective parts is larger than a preset number, the marking is skipped and removed.
[0052]
7) Subsequently (marking) S9. Here, the cutter 81 is made to function in place of the above-described ultrasonic probes 6a and 6b, and marking is performed on the outer periphery of the position where the above-described ultrasonic probes 6a and 6b have detected a defect. In the lateral direction, the mounting positions of the ultrasonic probes 6a and 6b and the cutter 81 are different, so that the difference is corrected in the data so that the probe 6 and the cutter are at the same position. It stops at the defect position in the axial direction, and the marking cutter 81 is pressed and grooved for the pressing timer time.
[0053]
8) Next (unloading the molded body) In S10, the ultrasonic probes 6a and 6b and the marking means 7 are both stored in the upper position with the cylinder 52 contracted. return. As a result, the round bar which is opened at the top and lies on the mounting means 4 with a slight inclination can be taken out with bare hands or a handy hanging tool.
[0054]
In addition, in the method of the polyamide resin molding of this invention and its defect inspection apparatus, it is not limited to what is shown in FIGS. 1-8, For example, you may change and implement to the following forms.
1) An example of a manual change mechanism for a height changing portion that can be moved up and down according to the outer diameter of the resin molded body is related to the proximity installation portion of the ultrasonic probe. It is possible to use a mechanism that can automatically change the height by giving the outer diameter of the molded body as instruction data.
[0055]
【The invention's effect】
