Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial application] The present invention relates to a lighting device for inspection, and in particular, a plurality of rows of vertical line light source images are projected on a surface to be inspected of an inspection object which passes through an inspection line and defects thereof. Of the inspection device.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, an inspection illuminating device that projects a plurality of lines of a line light source image on a surface to be inspected is well known, and various surfaces are utilized by utilizing the brightness contrast on the surface to be inspected and the disorder of the line light source image. Since it can be inspected for defects, it is widely used, for example, for inspecting defects on car body painted surfaces or for other purposes.

In particular, in order to inspect a painted surface of an automobile, a simultaneous inspection is often performed using at least two or more rows of inspection lines provided in parallel. In this case, each inspection line is provided with the inspection illumination device. Then, a defect inspection of the painted surface of the vehicle passing through each line is performed.

FIG. 8 shows an example of a conventional inspection illuminating device. This conventional device has three rows of inspection lines 10A,
Two independent rows of inspection illuminators 300A1 and 300A2, 300B1 and 300B2, 300C1 and 300C2 are provided on both sides of 10B and 10C.

Each of the inspection lighting devices 300 includes a plurality of lighting fixtures 14 provided at regular intervals along each inspection line 10, and of the automobile 100 passing through each inspection line 10 at a low speed using the belt conveyor 12. It is formed so as to project a plurality of vertical line light source images on the surface 110 to be inspected.

Therefore, the inspector continuously inspects the surface condition by utilizing the brightness contrast of the line light source image projected on the inspected surface 110 of the automobile 100 and the disturbance of the line light source image, and The existing defects such as spots, scratches, sagging, and cissing can be visually inspected.

FIG. 9 shows a specific structure of a lighting fixture 14 used in a conventional inspection lighting device.
Is two line light sources 16a and 16b arranged in parallel in the vertical direction.
And a white reflector 18 provided on the back surface of the line light source 16 and fixed to the stand 20 so as to directly project two vertical direction line light source images as an image 200 toward the surface 110 to be inspected of the automobile 100. There is. The linear light source 16 is usually a rod-shaped fluorescent lamp.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9, by providing the inspection illumination device 300 on both sides of each inspection line 10, the surface to be inspected 110 of the automobile 100 passing through each inspection line 10 at a low speed.
For example, a plurality of rows of vertical line light source images 200 are projected on the inspected surfaces 110B1 and 110B2 of the automobile 100B passing through the inspection line 10B, and the inspector disturbs the brightness contrast and the line light source image on the inspected surface 110. By using, it is possible to continuously visually inspect for the presence of surface defects such as spots, scratches, sagging, and cissing.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] (a) In such a visual inspection, a defect located at a position overlapping with a linear light source image normally appearing on the surface of the surface 110 to be inspected or a defect in the immediate vicinity of the linear light source image. Can only be found. Therefore, in such an inspection lighting device 300,
It is required to project a large number of linear light source images on the surface to be inspected 110 finely and at equal intervals over a plurality of rows.

However, in the conventional apparatus 300 shown in FIG. 9, since only one linear light source 16 can directly project the image 200 onto the surface 110 to be inspected, many inspection lines 10 are provided on both sides. The line light source 16 and the white reflective shade 18 must be provided,
Initial cost (equipment cost, etc.) and running cost (consumable replacement cost for fluorescent lamps, equipment maintenance cost, etc.)
There was a problem that the electric power cost, etc.) would be extremely expensive.

In particular, in contrast to the multiple lines of inspection lines 10A, 10B, 10C provided as shown in FIG. 8, in the conventional device, two lines of inspection illumination devices 300 are provided on both sides of each inspection line 10A, 10B, 10C. Must be provided independently. Therefore, there has been a problem that the initial cost and running cost of the entire apparatus become more expensive in proportion to the number of inspection lines 10.

(B) Moreover, in such a conventional device, the inspection line 10
The lighting fixtures 14 are attached to the left and right sides of the same along a predetermined distance. However, in the luminaire 14 used in the conventional device, two fluorescent lamps are already installed as a set of line light sources 16a and 16b at a constant interval, and the interval cannot be freely adjusted. Therefore, each of the linear light sources 16 can project only the direct image 200 at a constant interval on the surface 110 to be inspected, and therefore the interval of the linear light source images projected on the surface 110 to be inspected may be changed as necessary. There was a problem that the optimum interval could not be adjusted.

(C) Further, in the conventional apparatus, a large number of line light sources 16 are provided on both sides of each inspection line 10 at regular intervals, and the surface to be inspected 110
A large number of linear light source images are projected finely and at equal intervals over a plurality of rows.

Therefore, there is a problem that the illuminance on the surface of the surface 110 to be inspected becomes too high and the luminance contrast of the defect is lowered, and the surface defect is overlooked.

Furthermore, if the illuminance on the surface to be inspected rises in this way,
There was a problem that the inspector's eyes were easily tired.

Further, in order to solve the above-mentioned problem (a), a proposal of Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 56-132509 has been conventionally made.
As a lighting fixture, a substantially V-shaped reflecting mirror is provided around the linear light source so as to face the surface to be inspected.

By doing so, a direct image from the linear light source and a pair of reflected indirect images from the V-shaped reflecting mirror are projected on the surface to be inspected, and as a result, the number of linear light sources is increased. It is possible to project a triple line light source image on the surface to be inspected without increasing the number of lines.

However, even such a conventional device, as shown in FIG.
When a plurality of inspection lines 10 are provided in parallel, the inspection illumination devices 30 are provided on both sides of each inspection line 10.
It is necessary to install 0s in two rows independently. For example, the inspection illuminating device 300A2 and the inspection illuminating device 300B1 must be independently provided between the adjacent inspection lines 10A and 10B, and one row of the inspection illuminating device 300 is inspected in two adjacent rows. It cannot be used also as an inspection illumination device for the lines 10A and 10B. For this reason, there has been a problem that the initial cost and running cost of the entire apparatus increase in proportion to the number of inspection lines 10.

That is, even in the conventional apparatus of Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 56-132509, when a plurality of inspection lines 10 are provided in parallel as shown in FIG. 8, a linear light source and a reflecting mirror are provided on both sides of each adjacent inspection line 10. Must be provided independently, for example, in an inspection line
The line light source and the reflecting mirror provided between 10A and 10B cannot be shared with each other. For this reason, the initial cost and the running cost of the entire inspection illuminating device increase in proportion to the increase in the inspection line 10, and an effective countermeasure against this has been desired.

[Object of the Invention] The present invention has been made in view of such a conventional problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a common line light source and reflection for each inspection object passing through two adjacent inspection lines. An object of the present invention is to provide a vertical illuminating light source image in a plurality of rows by using a mirror, and to provide an inspection illuminating device with low initial cost and running cost of the entire device.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a plurality of rows on each surface to be inspected of each inspection object that passes through at least two or more rows of inspection lines provided in parallel. Projects a vertical line light source image,
In a device that performs a defect inspection on the surface to be inspected of an inspection object passing through each line, it is provided along the line between adjacent inspection lines and on the surface to be inspected of each inspection object passing through both inspection lines. A plurality of line light sources that directly project the vertical line light source image as an image, and are installed between the line light sources so as to face the line light source at a predetermined angle, and the vertical line light source image of each line light source passes through the inspection lines on both sides. A plurality of two-division reflecting mirrors that project as reflected indirect images on the surface to be inspected of each inspection object, and each line light source uses two-division reflecting mirrors located on both sides thereof, and passes through the inspection lines on both sides. It is characterized in that vertical line light source images in three columns are projected on the surface of the inspection object to be inspected.

Points of Interest Next, points of interest of the present invention will be briefly described in comparison with a conventional device.

(A) Conventional device Fig. 9 shows a principle diagram of a conventional inspection lighting device. This device is equipped with a lighting fixture 14A via a mounting stand 20 between adjacent inspection lines 10A and 10B. And 14B are attached back to back and fixed, and a direct image of the linear light source is applied to the corresponding inspected surfaces 110A2 and 110B1 using the respective lighting fixtures 14A and 14B.
Projecting 200.

Therefore, the lighting fixtures 14A and 14B provided between the adjacent inspection lines 10A and 10B cannot be used as the illumination devices for both the inspection lines 10A and 10B, and the number of the illumination devices 14 increases as the inspection lines 10 increase. Increases in proportion.

As a result, there is a problem that the initial cost and running cost of the entire inspection lighting device increase in proportion to the increase in the number of inspection lines 10 provided in parallel.

Furthermore, this conventional apparatus can only project one vertical direction line light source image from each line light source 16 directly as the image 200. The distance between the line light source images projected on the surface 110 to be inspected is determined by the distance between the line light sources 16a and 16b, and the distance between the line light source images projected on the surface 110 to be inspected can be adjusted as necessary. There wasn't.

(B) Present Invention FIG. 1 shows the principle of the present invention.

The first characteristic feature of the present invention is that inspection lines 10 adjacent to each other are provided.
A plurality of line light sources 16 are provided at predetermined intervals along the line between A and 10B, and a vertical line on the inspected surface 110A2 and 110B1 of the inspection object that passes through both side inspection lines 10A and 10B from each line light source 16. It is to project the light source image as the direct image 200.

The second characteristic of the present invention is that the pair of two-divided reflecting mirrors 24-1 and 24-2 facing the respective line light sources 16 are provided along the line so that both-side inspection lines 10A and 10B are provided. The vertical linear light source images of the linear light source 16 are projected as two reflected indirect images 210, 210 on the inspected surfaces 110A2 and 110B1 of the respective inspection objects passing therethrough.

By doing this, the inspection lines 10A, 10
The line light source 16 and the two-divided reflecting mirror 24 provided between B can be used also as a lighting fixture for both inspection lines 10A and 10B.

Therefore, even when a plurality of inspection lines 10 are provided in parallel, one row of the inspection illuminating device including the line light source 16 and the two-division reflecting mirror 24 is provided between the adjacent inspection lines 10 along the line. Only 300 need be provided, and the number of linear light sources 16 to be used can be significantly reduced, and the initial cost and running cost of the entire apparatus can be significantly reduced.

In particular, according to the present invention, the inspection object passing through the inspection lines 10A and 10B adjacent to each other by using one line light source 16 and a pair of two-divided reflecting mirrors 24-1 and 24-2 located on both sides thereof. It is possible to project one direct image 200 and two reflected indirect images 210, 210 on the inspected surface 110A2 and 110B1 of the object, respectively.
It will be appreciated that a total of 6 line source images can be projected from each line source 16.

Further, according to the present invention, it is preferable that the two-divided reflecting mirror 24 is capable of arbitrarily setting a reflection angle with its apex as a center, and by doing so, a line projected on the surface 110 to be inspected. The light source images 200 and 210 can be adjusted appropriately according to the inspection direction, and the reliability of defect detection on the surface 110 to be inspected can be improved.

[Operation] Next, the operation of the present invention will be described by exemplifying a case where one row of the inspection illumination device 300 is provided between the adjacent inspection lines 10A and 10B as shown in FIG.

The inspection lighting device 300 according to the present invention includes the inspection lines 1 adjacent to each other.
From the plurality of linear light sources 16 provided between 0A and 10B, a plurality of vertical direction linear light source images 20 directly on the inspected surfaces 110A2 and 110B1 of the inspection object passing through the both-side inspection lines 10A and 10B.
Projected as 0.

In addition, the inspection lighting device 300 of the present invention includes the linear light sources 16 described above.
A plurality of sets of two-divided reflecting mirrors 24-
From 1, 24-2, a plurality of vertical direction light source images are projected as reflected indirect images 210, 210 on the inspected surfaces 110A2 and 110B1 of the inspection object that pass through the both-side inspection lines 10A and 10B.

Thus, according to the present invention, adjacent inspection lines
Only by providing one row of the inspection illumination device 300 between 10A and 10B, the inspection object passing through the both-side inspection lines 10A and 10B, for example, the inspection surfaces 110A2 and 1 of the automobiles 100A and 100B.
Direct image 200 of vertical line light source image and reflected indirect image 210 on 10B1.
Can be projected in parallel in a plurality of rows, and the surface defect can be visually inspected by utilizing the brightness contrast on the inspected surfaces 110A2 and 110B1 and the disturbance of the line light source image.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the number of linear light sources 16 to be used is significantly reduced, and the equipment cost, the power cost, the replacement cost of the fluorescent lamp consumables, the maintenance cost of the equipment, etc. are reduced, and the initial cost of the entire apparatus and It is possible to significantly reduce running costs.

Furthermore, according to the present invention, since the number of linear light sources 16 used is significantly reduced, in terms of the inspection environment maintenance of the inspection line 10,
The need for air conditioning measures due to heat generation is reduced, and also from this aspect, the initial cost and running cost of the entire apparatus can be reduced.

Particularly, according to the present invention, the inspected surface 110A located on both sides of one line light source 16 using the two-division reflecting mirrors 24-1 and 24-2.
It is possible to project six vertical line light source images, three for each of 2 and 110B1.

Therefore, as compared with the conventional apparatus shown in FIG. 8, the number of the line light sources 16 provided between the adjacent inspection lines 10A and 10B can be reduced to 1/6.

As a result, according to the present invention, as the number of the inspection lines 10 provided in parallel increases, the effect of reducing the initial cost and running cost of the entire inspection illumination device becomes more remarkable.

Further, according to the present invention, by reducing the number of the line light sources 16, it is possible to keep the surroundings to be appropriately bright and to significantly reduce eye fatigue of the inspector.

Further, in this type of inspection apparatus, that is, an apparatus that projects a line light source image on the surface 110 to be inspected and detects defects by utilizing the brightness contrast and the disturbance of the line light source image, the illuminance (brightness) is high. It is not required, and even if the illuminance is low, it does not hinder the inspection of defects. Rather, as in the present invention, the number of linear light sources 16 used is reduced, so that the direct image 200 and the reflected indirect image 210 of the linear light source on the surface 110 to be inspected.
Since the brightness of the background portion in which is not reflected is decreased, the brightness contrast of the defect is increased, and this can be easily detected.

It should be noted that in the present invention, each two-division reflecting mirror 24 has a
It is preferable to install them on a straight line 1 parallel to 0 at a position equidistant from each line light source 16, and further, it is preferable to install the two-division reflecting mirrors 24 adjacent to each other back to back at the same distance d. .

Further, each of the two-divided reflecting mirrors 24 is preferably set so that its apex angle intersects with the straight line l, and the tilt angle α with respect to the straight line l, that is, the reflection angle α can be adjusted to an arbitrary angle as required. It is preferably formed.

Further, in the two-divided reflecting mirror 24, since the reflecting mirrors 24a and 24b are usually formed as flat reflecting mirrors, the width of the reflected indirect image 210 projected on the surface 110 to be inspected is substantially smaller than that of the direct image. 1
However, when controlling the width of the reflected indirect image 210 of the vertical line light source image (when widening or narrowing), the reflecting mirrors 24a and 24b have arbitrary curvatures as necessary. It may be formed as a curved reflecting mirror.

Experimental Data Next, experimental data on the influence of the illuminance on the surface 110 to be inspected on the luminance contrast of the defect will be briefly described.

(I) According to the experiment, the illuminance (lx) of the surface 110 to be inspected is 10
0,200,300,500,1000,1500,2000,3000 Inspected surface 110
The brightness contrast of each of the above defects is about 73.
%, 59%, 50%, 39%, 24%, 16%, 14%, 8% were confirmed.

As is clear from this experimental data, when the illuminance (lx) of the surface 110 to be inspected increases, the luminance contrast (%) of the defect decreases exponentially. Therefore, the surface to be inspected 11
In order to reliably detect the defects existing on 0 by visual inspection, the illuminance on the surface 110 to be inspected is kept at an appropriate value so that the luminance contrast (%) of the defects becomes sufficiently large. Design is required.

(Ii) Based on this point of view, how the illuminance (lx) of the surface 110 to be inspected changes depending on the combination of the linear light source 16 and the reflecting mirror was measured by an experiment.

In the experiment, as shown in Fig. 3, 60cm in length 3.6m
Seven fluorescent lamps 16-1, 16-2, 16-2, 16-3, 16-3, 16 at intervals
With reference to the state in which −4 and 16-4 are arranged in parallel, the illuminance of the surface 110 to be inspected when the reflecting mirror M is gradually expanded outward from the center fluorescent lamp 16-1 and the reflecting mirror M Instead, we measured the illuminance and the illuminance when a fluorescent lamp was added.

The measurement was performed by installing an illuminometer at a position 1.5 m away from the central fluorescent lamp 16-1.

As a result, the illuminometer showed a measured value of 610 lx in the state where all seven fluorescent lamps 16-1 to 16-4 shown in FIG. 3 were turned on.

Next, M1, M2, M3 in order from both sides of the central fluorescent lamp 16-1.
When the reflectors of No. 1 are sequentially added as shown in the figure, for example, when the mountain-shaped reflector M1 is installed between the fluorescent lamps 16-1 and 16-2, the reflection indirect of the mountain-shaped reflector M1 is According to the image, the line light source image of the fluorescent lamp increases by 2 and the measurement illuminance increases by 145 lx.

In addition, if the M2 mountain reflector is installed between the 16-2 and 16-3 fluorescent lamps in addition to the mountain reflector M1, the measured illuminance is further increased.
40lx increase, and if the M3 mountain reflector is added between the fluorescent lamps 16-3 and 16-4, the measurement illuminance will further increase by 17lx.

Therefore, according to the experiment, as shown in FIG.
-If M1, M2 and M3 chevron reflectors are installed between a total of 7 fluorescent lamps, the illuminance will increase by about 400 lx and the illuminance meter will increase by about 100.
It shows the measured value of 0lx.

On the other hand, when a fluorescent lamp is added instead of the mountain reflector M1, the illuminance increases by about 270 lx, and when a fluorescent lamp is added instead of the mountain reflector M2, the illuminance increases by about 190 lx. If a fluorescent lamp is added instead of the M3, the illuminance will increase by about 110 lx.

In this way, if a fluorescent lamp is added instead of the mountain-shaped reflecting mirrors M1, M2, and M3, the illuminance, which was increased by only about 400 lx when the mountain-shaped reflecting mirror is used, is increased by about 1140 lx.

Therefore, in the case of considering the inspection illumination device 300 having a length of 3.6 m, the illuminance of the surface 110 to be inspected is about 1000 lx when the mountain-shaped reflecting mirrors M1 to M3 are used, whereas the mountain-shaped reflecting mirror is used. If a fluorescent lamp is added instead of the above, the illuminance of the surface 110 to be inspected is approximately 1750 l.
It will be appreciated that it exhibits a very high value for x.

As is clear from this experimental data, in the inspection illumination device 300 using the reflecting mirror as in the present invention, the number of linear light sources (bar-shaped fluorescent lamps in the experiment) 16 used is reduced, so that the surface to be inspected is reduced. The brightness contrast of the defect existing on 110 is increased, and the surface defect can be detected more reliably.

Further, in the actual conventional apparatus shown in FIG. 8, several tens of fluorescent lamps are provided as the line light source 16, and therefore the surface 110 to be inspected
Although the above measured illuminance shows a higher value than the above experimental result, in the inspection illumination device 300 of the present invention, the illuminance of the surface 110 to be inspected is suppressed to an appropriate value by using the two-division reflecting mirror 24. It is understood that the eye fatigue of the inspector can be remarkably reduced, which is extremely favorable for the health management of the inspector, and the occurrence of inspection errors due to the eye fatigue of the inspector can be significantly reduced. .

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, a surface to be inspected of an inspection object that passes through a line light source and a two-divided reflecting mirror provided between adjacent inspection lines through both inspection lines. Since it can be commonly used for defect inspection with respect to, the number of line light sources to be used is significantly reduced when at least two rows or more of inspection lines are provided in parallel, and the initial cost and running cost of the entire apparatus are significantly reduced. It is possible to reduce costs.

In particular, according to the present invention, as the number of inspection lines provided in parallel increases, the number of line light sources and reflecting mirrors to be used is significantly reduced as compared with the conventional inspection illumination device, and the initial cost and running of the entire device are increased. It is possible to significantly reduce the cost.

In particular, according to the present invention, by using the two-division reflecting mirror, a total of six vertical line light source images can be projected from one line light source. From this aspect as well, it is possible to significantly reduce the cost of the entire apparatus.
