In conventional wheel cross-sectional shape inspections at depots, the vehicle is stopped and the inspector presses a mechanical gauge with a standard wheel cross-sectional shape onto the wheel surface. A manual limit gauge method has been implemented in which the wheel cross-sectional shape is measured by hand.This manual wheel cross-sectional shape inspection is very time-consuming as it involves getting under the wheel, and requires skill to perform the measurement. However, there is a problem that the measurement results vary depending on the measurer, and it is desired to improve the inspection accuracy and save labor by automating this wheel cross-sectional shape inspection.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, it is desirable to install an automatic inspection device near the railway roadside, such as at the entrance/exit of a depot, and to inspect all the wheels passing through it at once. If an attempt is made to automatically inspect the wheel cross-sectional shape of a passing vehicle from the ground as described above, it will be necessary to conduct the inspection in a non-contact manner since the object is moving. In such cases, it is possible to apply optical measurement methods to the inside of the shell, but in the case of wheel cross-sectional shape inspection, it is necessary to take into account the conditions to avoid collision with the running vehicle and the conditions of equipment arrangement near the wheel. Direct projection of the cross-sectional shape is not possible due to the severe limitations of the optical porcelain arrangement. Furthermore, when considering measurement using a video image of the object, it is difficult to conduct highly accurate inspections because the image becomes blurred due to movement of the object.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, a wheel detector 2, a slit image irradiation device 3 using a flashlight as a light source, and an industrial video camera 4 are installed near a rail l such as an inspection/maintenance line in a train depot. Wheel detector 2 detects wheels 5 running on rail 1
When detected, a wheel entry signal is sent to the control device 6. The slit light irradiation gLW 3 emits a flashlight upon receiving this wheel entry detection signal, and irradiates the wheel surface with a slit image to produce a slit light image 7 corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of the wheel on the wheel surface. This slit light image 7 is photographed by an industrial video camera 4, and the photographed electrical video signal is A/D converted and input to an electronic calculator g18 for image processing. An electronic computer performs arithmetic processing such as slit image extraction and slit center line extraction on slit image data corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of the wheel, and also takes into account the geometrical arrangement of the slit light source, wheel, and industrial video camera. Calculate the cross-sectional shape of the wheel. Furthermore, if necessary, a wheel with an abnormal cross-sectional shape is discovered by comparing the normal standard wheel cross-sectional shape with the calculated cross-sectional shape, and the abnormal wheel information is output to the inspector in charge using the print output device 9, and further, an image is output. Device 1
A slit image of the abnormal wheel is output to 0.
