このとき、各エリア48〜51は僅かにオーバーラップする
ように設定してある。The inspection area setting unit 47 sets a predetermined inspection area for each of the three containers 2 photographed at the same time. As shown in FIG. 5, the inspection area setting unit 47 sets the liquid level height. The liquid level area 48, which is the liquid level of the filling liquid in the container 2, is input to the determination unit 43, and the upper foreign matter determination unit 44 includes an upper area 49 above the filling liquid excluding the area 48.
The middle foreign matter determination unit 45 is input with the middle area 50 of the central portion of the filling liquid, and the lower foreign matter determination unit 46 is input with the lower area 51 of the lower portion of the filling liquid.
At this time, the areas 48 to 51 are set to slightly overlap each other.

設定された液面エリア48の信号を抽出し、その抽出した
信号から得た検出値と予め定めた基準値とを比較して、
当該容器の液面が所定高さであるか否かを判定する。The liquid level determination unit 43 extracts the signal of the liquid level area 48 set by the inspection area setting unit 47 from the signals binarized by the binarization circuit 38, and extracts the signal from the extracted signal. Compare the obtained detected value with a predetermined reference value,
It is determined whether or not the liquid level of the container has a predetermined height.
このとき、該液面高さ判定部43に予め定めた基準値は、

の光る部分の中央部の高さを基準値として設定する。At this time, the reference value set in advance by the liquid level height determination unit 43 is
It is set on the basis of the liquid surface that causes the curved surface. That is, when a curved surface is generated on the liquid surface of the filling liquid, generally a rhombus-shaped portion is generated in the filling liquid with little foaming (see FIG. 6), and bubbles above the liquid surface are generated in the filling liquid with many foaming. Since the part of ∘ becomes easy to shine, a part shining in a substantially disc shape is generated (see FIG. 7). Therefore, the shining portion is measured in advance according to the type of the filling liquid and the rotation speed thereof, and the height of the central portion of the shining portion is set as a reference value, for example.

The height of the central part of the above-mentioned shining part is detected along the lines O 2 and O 3, and if at least one of the detected values matches the above reference value, it is determined that the liquid level is appropriate. I have to. This is done because the center of the curved surface and the axial center of the container 2 do not always coincide with each other due to the shaking of the curved surface.
