厚さに換算する。2. Description of the Related Art In the non-contact thickness measurement of running paper sheets, vinyl sheets, metal foils, etc., for example, infrared rays, beta rays, X rays, etc. are irradiated, and the irradiated rays are absorbed by the sheet material to be measured. The amount of the amount to be measured is measured and converted into a thickness.
That is, the measured value of the absorbed amount is converted into a thickness by using the phenomenon that a thicker one absorbs more irradiation light and a thinner one absorbs less irradiation light.

【発明が解決しようとする課題】前述の従来技術は被測
定シート材に吸収される照射線量の多い、少いを測定
し、厚さに換算するものであり、直接に厚さを測定する
ものではなく、各種の換算誤差を生ずる。The above-mentioned prior art measures a large or small irradiation dose absorbed by a sheet material to be measured and converts it into a thickness, and directly measures the thickness. Instead, various conversion errors occur.

正確な厚さが測定できなくなる。[0004] One example of the conversion error is that the absorbed amount of the irradiation dose is determined by the thickness of the sheet material due to contamination of the sheet material during the manufacturing process, changes in the ambient temperature of the thickness gauge, changes in the ambient humidity, and the like. Is inaccurate in the conversion factor, and thus the accurate thickness cannot be measured.
【0005】本発明は、前述のように不可避的に誤差の
可能性のある間接的な吸収法測定ではなく、直接厚さを
非接触で測定する方法を得ることにある。An object of the present invention is to provide a method for directly measuring the thickness in a non-contact manner, instead of the indirect absorption method which may inevitably cause an error as described above.

を1組以上配設する。In order to achieve the above object, a thickness measuring method according to the present invention comprises the steps of: disposing a reference horizontal object on both upper and lower sides of a sheet to be measured; At least one set of a range finder and a non-contact type range finder is provided between and a reference horizontal object.

表面までの距離である。In FIG. 2, the thickness T of the sheet material 1 is T = C
-AB. Here, C is the distance between the upper non-contact distance meter 3A and the lower non-contact distance meter 3B. A
Is the distance between the upper non-contact distance meter and the upper surface of the sheet, and B is the distance between the lower non-contact distance meter and the lower surface of the sheet.
【0008】ここで距離Cを決定することは例えば次の
ようにしてなされる。即ち図2に於て、シート状物1の
外側に厚さが既知の基準較正体2を配設し、非接触距離
計3を基準較正体の所まで移動し、前述のT=C−A−
Bの関係式を適用する。Here, the distance C is determined, for example, as follows. That is, in FIG. 2, a reference calibrator 2 having a known thickness is disposed outside the sheet-like material 1, the non-contact distance meter 3 is moved to the reference calibrator, and the aforementioned T = CA. −
The relational expression of B is applied.
【0009】基準較正体についてはその厚さTは既知で
あり、一方A,Bは測定値であるのて、Cは決定され
る。このCをC=Coとする。The thickness T of the reference calibrator is known, while A and B are measured values, so C is determined. This C is assumed to be C = Co.
【0010】ここで再び非接触距離計を被測定シート状

めに前述の関係式T=C−A−Bを適用したい訳である
が、ここで困難が生じる。即ちシート状物上に非接触距
離計を移動するので、この場所でのCはCoとはならな
くなる。Here, the non-contact distance meter is moved again onto the sheet-like object to be measured and returned. It is desired to apply the above-mentioned relational expression T = CAB in order to measure the thickness T of the sheet-shaped material, but here, difficulty arises. That is, since the non-contact distance meter is moved on the sheet-like object, C at this position does not become Co.
【0011】CがCoとはならない原因は非接触距離計

具等のガタ、重量たわみ、熱膨張などが存在するためで
あり、従ってCは不定値となり、T=C−A−Bに対し
てA,Bのみが測定できるが、Cが不定であるので、T
も不定となる。The reason why C does not become Co is that the movement of the non-contact distance meter causes backlash, weight deflection, thermal expansion, etc. of the supporting bracket or hanging bracket, and therefore C is an undefined value. Thus, only A and B can be measured for T = CAB, but since C is indefinite, T
Is also undefined.

離を測ることによって計測されるので前述のCは不定と
ならず確定値となり、従ってTは測定可能になる。In FIG. 1, reference horizontal objects 4A and 4B are arranged above and below a sheet-like material 1 to be measured. Further, the distance meters 5A and 5B are firmly fixed to the non-contact distance meters 3A and 3B. In this case, since the above-mentioned backlash and weight deflection of the support bracket are measured by measuring the distance from the reference horizontal object by the distance meters 5A and 5B, the above-mentioned C becomes a definite value without being uncertain, and accordingly, T is measured. Will be possible.
【0013】ここで基準水平物体はより完全な水平面を
有することが求められ、図1に示すように、液体4A,
4Bの表面は完全な水平面であるので基準水平物体とし
て有効である。Here, the reference horizontal object is required to have a more complete horizontal plane, and as shown in FIG.
Since the surface of 4B is a perfect horizontal plane, it is effective as a reference horizontal object.

ための重量たわみ(水平からの逸脱量)は力学的たわみ

補正等によって、補正されたガラス面は基準水平物体と
して有効である。The glass surface has a smooth surface and is effective as a reference horizontal object when supported horizontally. In addition, since the weight deflection (deviation from the horizontal) to be supported can be calculated from the calculated value of the mechanical deflection, the glass surface whose deflection is corrected by calculation correction or the like is effective as a reference horizontal object. It is.

張率はガラス材のなかでは最小であるためである。Further, if the glass material is quartz glass, deviations from the horizontal such as expansion, deflection and distortion due to temperature changes such as temperature fluctuations are minimized. That is, the thermal expansion coefficient of quartz glass is the smallest among the glass materials.

A set of non-contact distance meters 3A1 to 3B4 is arranged at an equal pitch (pitch distance = P), and reciprocates over the equal pitch (slide bracket 6A disposed substantially parallel to reference horizontal objects 4A and 4B). , 6B in the direction of arrow ST), the thickness of the same point of the sheet-like material 1 to be measured can be measured by two separate sets of non-contact distance meters. Therefore, mutual calibration of the adjacent non-contact distance meters can be realized, and various errors that can occur can be reduced to zero or minimum by the mutual calibration.

In FIG. 1, reference horizontal objects 4A and 4B are liquids placed in containers, and the surfaces facing the distance meters 5A and 5B are horizontal planes and parallel planes to each other. The distance meter 5A and the non-contact distance meter 3A are fixed to each other, and the guide rail 6A
Run on the top. The distance meter 5B and the non-contact distance meter 3B are fixed to each other, and run on the guide rail 6B by themselves.

That is, the self-running speed and the self-propelled distance of the set of the distance meter 5A and the non-contact distance meter 3A (the upper set of the sheet-like object to be measured) are the same as the set of the distance meter 5B and the non-contact distance meter 3B (the It is synchronized with the self-propelled speed and self-propelled distance of the lower pair.

で、Co=Ao+Bo+Toとなる。AoとBoは測定
値でありCoは確定する。In the pair of the distance meter and the non-contact distance meter, the above-mentioned Co value is determined by the reference calibrator 2 having a known thickness (thickness = To). That is, since the thickness of the reference calibrator 2 is known, Co = Ao + Bo + To. Ao and Bo are measured values, and Co is determined.

Here, C ′ is obtained by correcting various fluctuations (deflection, backlash, temperature expansion, etc.) from Co, and C ′ + D ′ + E ′ = Co + Do
+ Eo, C ′ = Co + Do + Eo−D′−E ′
It is. Here, Do and Eo are the measured values of the rangefinders 5A and 5B at the reference calibrator 2 portion, and D 'and E' are the measured values of the rangefinders 5A and 5B at the measured portion of the sheet.

Desirably, a non-evaporable viscous liquid such as silicone oil is used practically (to prevent the liquid from decreasing due to evaporation and to prevent the liquid surface from waving due to external vibration).
