Abstract

PURPOSE:To discover even small holes, and unnecessitate an eliminating process of water and the like after inspection, by swelling the glove by using vacuum force, jetting detection liquid in the inside, detecting its leak with a detector, and detecting the damage of the glove. CONSTITUTION:The mouth part of a rubber glove 2 to be inspected is wound around a frange 4a of a vacuum vessel 4, and fixed by using a band 5. The inside of a vessel 4 is vacuumized to obtain a suitable vacuum state, and alcohol or the like is jetted into the inside of the rubber glove 2. In the case where holes exist in the rubber glove 2, the alcohol flows out from the glove 2 into the vacuum vessel 4, and can be detected by a detector 6. Thereby the holes can be surely detected, however small they may be. The elimination of water after inspection is unnecessitated, and the glove can be immediately used.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a method for inspecting safety gloves for damage, which are intended to protect persons engaged in chemical processing work in semiconductor factories from chemical solutions, for example.

[Conventional technology]

FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a conventional inspection method of this type.
In the figure, 1 is a container, 2 is a safety rubber glove, and 3 is a liquid such as water.

Next, the operation will be explained. Rubber gloves 2 for safety are inflated with compressed air or the like and immersed in water 3 stored in a container 1. At this time, if the safety rubber gloves 2 have holes or the like, the compressed air will flow out in the form of bubbles in the water 3, and the damaged state can be detected with the naked eye.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

Since the conventional inspection method is carried out as described above, it is necessary to remove water from the safety rubber gloves 7 after the inspection, and it is difficult to discover extremely small holes etc. due to the swelling caused by compressed air, etc. there were.

Furthermore, it is necessary to periodically replace liquids such as water, which poses a problem in that the work is complicated.

This invention was made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is possible to detect even extremely small holes, and it is also possible to easily inspect gloves without the need to remove water etc. after the inspection. The purpose is to obtain a method.

[Means to solve the problem]

In the glove inspection method according to the present invention, the glove is inflated by using vacuum power, a detection liquid is injected into the inside of the glove, and leakage of this detection liquid is detected by a detector.

[Effect]

Since the glove inspection method of this invention uses a vacuum to inflate the gloves, the way the gloves are inflated is not affected by differences in the degree of vacuum or the material of the gloves, and even extremely small holes can be detected. It can be reliably detected by the device.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a sectional view showing a method for inspecting safety rubber gloves according to the present invention. In the figure, 4 is a vacuum container, 5 is a band that is wrapped around a collar 4a provided on this vacuum container 4 and fixes the safety rubber gloves 2 in a suspended state within the container, and 6 is a detector for alcohol, etc. .

Next, the operation will be explained. The opening of the rubber glove 2 to be inspected is wrapped around the brim 4a of the vacuum container 4 and fixed with a band 5, and the inside of the vacuum container 4 is evacuated as shown by arrow A to create an appropriate vacuum state. Then, alcohol or the like is injected into the inside of the rubber glove 2. At this time, if there is a hole in the rubber gloves 2, alcohol will flow out from the rubber gloves 2 into the vacuum container 4.
The detector 6 can detect alcohol.

Furthermore, at this time, even extremely small holes can be reliably detected by appropriately selecting the size of the vacuum container and the degree of vacuum.

Note that when the detection is performed using alcohol as in the above embodiment, the inside of the glove is disinfected by the alcohol, and there is an advantage that the glove can be used immediately if there is no problem after the test.

In the above embodiment, the rubber gloves 2 were used as gas.

Even gloves made of vinyl, which are impermeable to liquids, can be tested.

Although alcohol was used as the detection liquid, if the combination (compatibility) of the detector 6 and the liquid sprayed inside the rubber gloves 2 is suitable, the same effect as in the above embodiment can be achieved.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, since a vacuum is used to inflate the gloves, the way the gloves to be inspected are inflated is not affected by the degree of vacuum or differences in the material, wall thickness, shape, etc. of the gloves, and There is no need to remove water afterwards, and it can be used immediately.

[Brief explanation of drawings]

FIG. 1 is a sectional view showing a method for inspecting safety rubber gloves according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing a conventional inspection method. In the figure, 2 is a glove, 4 is a vacuum container, and 6 is a detector. Note that the same reference numerals in the figures indicate the same or equivalent parts.

Claims (1)

[Claims] In the glove damage inspection method, a glove placed in a vacuum container is inflated using the power of vacuum, a detection liquid is injected into the inside of the glove, and leakage of this detection liquid is detected by a detector. A method for inspecting gloves, characterized by detecting damage to the gloves.
