It is conveyed to the sensor head portion Y of the color identification device X. Then, the sensor head section Y analyzes the gray level, the data is sent to the control section Z, and when the gray level of the tiles 1 ... Is found through arithmetic processing, the tiles are checked against a plurality of registered gray levels. .. are classified according to the lightness and are guided by the conveyor belt 15 to a group of tiles having the same lightness and are stored in a certain position for each lightness. Then, as described above, the tiles of each group, which are once divided by the lightness and shade, are sent to the mixing line 16 based on the mixing ratio of the pre-designated user's order, and mixed again according to the mixing ratio of the hue, packing·
It will be shipped.

Next, the functions of the color identification apparatus X of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 1, the color identification apparatus X of the present invention is roughly divided into a sensor head section Y and a control section Z, and the sensor head section Y and the control section Z are connected by a plug 3.

First, the structure of the sensor head portion Y will be described with reference to FIGS. An illumination light source 4 is built in the sensor head portion Y, and when the illumination light source 4 irradiates the tiles 1, 1, ... The reflected light becomes the measured light, and the measured light in the sensor head portion Y passes from the light receiver 5 to the color identification element 6
Is transmitted to the three primary colors of red, green, and blue, and the identified red, green, and blue lights are respectively amplified by amplifiers 7a and 7a.
It is amplified by b and 7c and sent as a signal to the control section Z connected by the plug 3.

Next, the structure of the control section Z will be described with reference to FIGS. The signal sent from the sensor head unit Y as described above is first AD-converted by the AD converter 8 and sent to the calculation mechanism unit F so that the AD-converted data can be processed. When the keyboard 17 is operated for arithmetic processing, arithmetic processing is performed by the arithmetic unit 9. Then, the calculated data is collated with a plurality of gradation levels registered in the memory function 10 in advance, and when the gradation level is found, the gradation level of the tile 1 is displayed on the liquid crystal display panel 11 of the control section Z. In order to divide the tile 1, which is the object to be measured, which has been found in this way, into a group of tiles having the same shade, this time, the calculation mechanism unit F is used.
A plurality of identification cylinders 13 that are installed on the side of the conveyor 2 from the control unit 18 via the output unit 12.
.. is instructed to the timing switch 14 to control. (Hereinafter, description will be made by using four shades A to D. Each shade A to D is 00 for A and 0 for B.
1, C is 10 and D is 11 and AD-converted and stored in the memory function 10. )

As shown in FIG. 4, the tiles 1, 1, ... Which are objects to be measured conveyed on the conveyor 2 are identified by the timing switch 14 based on an instruction from the control section 18 of the control section Z. 4 installed on the side of conveyor 2
This is done by activating one of the identification cylinders 13a, 13b, 13c, 13d. For example, if the instruction sent from the control unit 18 to the timing switch 14 activates the identification cylinder 13c,
Four identification cylinders 1 installed on the side of the conveyor 2
Only one of 13a of 3a to 13d is operated, and the tile 1 moves the conveyor belt 15 provided on the opposite side from the top of the conveyor 2.
It is extruded onto the sheet c via the guide plate 19 and is guided from the conveyor belt 15c to the group of tiles having the density C. And the intensity of the tiles A, B,
Conveyor belts 15a and 15b for guiding to group D
Similarly, 15d is also installed below the conveyor 2 at a twisted position via the guide plate 19.

In order to ship the tile groups 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d identified by a plurality of shades as described above according to the mixing ratio ordered by the user, the order data is preliminarily stored in the mixing line 16 in the present invention. It is stored, for example, tile group 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d ordered by the user.
If the mixing ratio of A: B: C: D is 1: 2: 3: 4, it is integrated in the mixing line 16 as it is, commercialized, and packed and shipped. ..

[0013]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects. First, even if the tiles are obtained by press-molding the same raw material to form a tile base, which is glazed with the same glaze and fired in a firing furnace, the tiles have different shades and shades. When these tiles with different shades and shades are indiscriminately packed and shipped as they are, when they are pasted on the wall and finished, there are special differences in shades and shades, which makes us feel uncomfortable in design. It becomes the wall surface that makes it. According to the present invention, the tile products sent from the finishing conveyer are once sorted and stored according to the difference in shade, and then sorted in groups near the same shade according to a desired mixing ratio. As a result, a large difference in lightness and darkness is eliminated, and it is possible to ship products in accordance with the mixing ratio for each similar shade and lightness.

Secondly, by improving the color identification device, tiles that have been conventionally subjected to identification processing collectively as the same color are subdivided according to the shade, and the subdivided tiles are provided according to the user's order. Since it is now possible to pack and ship the products in a mixed ratio, it is possible to supply products that fully satisfy the needs of users.
