Abstract

PURPOSE:To detect stain in the lower part of the side of a bottle opening and also loss by cracking, by irradiating the upper surface and the side part of the bottle opening by 2 light sources, photodetecting a reflected ray by a one-dimensional scanning camera, and comparing a pattern by its electric signal with a pattern of a non-defective unit. CONSTITUTION:Light beams from light sources 2, 8 are irradiated onto the upper surface and the side of a bottle opening 3 through light diffusion plates 5, 10, and reflected rays 2a, 8a are inputted to an image sensor camera 7. In the camera 7, a lot of CCD elements are arrayed, an optical signal is converted to an electric signal, its image pickup pattern is compared with a pattern value of a nondefective unit by a prescribed electronic circuit, and an inspection of a defective bottle is executed. Therefore, it is possible to detect not only stain in the lower part of the side of a bottle opening but also a crack loss, which cannot be inspected by a conventional device having a light source on only the upper part of a bottle opening, and the inspection is executed with high accuracy.

For information on how to inspect bottles using a one-dimensional scanning camera,
The applicant for this invention has also filed several applications so far. One method is to provide a light source above the mouth of the bottle to be inspected, and irradiate the bottle mouth with light from this light source.
The light beam reflected from the upper surface of the bottle mouth is received by a one-dimensional scanning camera installed on the side of the bottle mouth and converted into an electrical signal, and the pattern of the converted electrical signal is compared with the preset signal pattern of a good bottle. There is a method for determining the quality of a bottle by checking the quality of the bottle. This method of inspecting bottles reliably detects dirt or cracks on the upper surface of the bottle mouth and determines that the bottle is defective. If there is dirt or cracks on the lower side of the bottle mouth, there is a risk that the bottle will be judged to be a good bottle even though this can be detected sufficiently.

In FIG. 1, when the bottle neck 3 is irradiated with light beams from the light sources 2 and 8, the pattern of the light-emitting portion when viewed from the side of the bottle neck 3 becomes the pattern shown by diagonal lines in FIG. 2 in the case of a good bottle. As the bottle 1 moves in the direction of the arrow, the scanning line 11 of the camera 7 changes as the bottle 1 moves.
The scanning operation is started from the bottle position 1, and sampling operations are performed at regular intervals until the bottle is at the position 1. and position′

The specific distinction between good bottles and bad bottles is made by the following method.

(1) D I B Cが設定値を外れたら不良風とす

(1) If D I B C is out of the set value, it is considered a bad wind.

DIBC refers to the width of the first dark area in each scanning cycle, as shown in FIG. Each scan is performed across the inspection box @ of the scanning line 11, for example from top to bottom, so DIBC is determined by counting the number of bits in the first dark area. In the case of a good bottle, the DIBC is approximately a constant value, but in the case of a defective wind that causes the first light emitting part to disappear, it becomes extremely large. Therefore, if DIBC deviates from a certain range, it is considered a bad wind.

LIBC refers to the width of the first bright part (light emitting part) for each scan. LIBCii is determined by counting the number of bits in the first bright part. In the case of good bottles, the LIBC also shows an almost constant value, but in the case of bad bottles, the bright part becomes very thin,
It becomes a tree due to abnormal light emission. Therefore, if LIBC deviates from a certain range, it is considered a bad wind.

(3) D 2 B Cが設定値を外れたら不良風とす

(3) If D 2 B C deviates from the set value, it is considered a bad wind.

D2BCとは走査回毎の2番目の暗部の幅をいう。D2BC refers to the width of the second dark area in each scanning cycle.

As in the case of (1) above, the D2BC of a good bottle is almost constant, but in the case of a bad wind, it becomes very small or large, so the D2BC also deviates from the constant @ and is assumed to be a bad wind. .

(4) If L 2 B C deviates from the set value, it is considered a defect. 0L2BC refers to the width of the second bright part in each scan.
For the same reason as (2) above, if L2BC deviates from a certain range, it is considered a bad wind.

ABS (Ll-I? BC) means 1 in each scan.
It refers to the width difference between the 6th bright area and the 2nd bright area. LI mentioned above
When calculating the difference in the number of bits between BC and L2BC, A is larger than K.
BS(Ll-L2)BC is calculated. In the case of quality products,
The difference between LIBC and L2BC shows almost a constant value, but in the case of bad wind, the width of one bright part becomes thicker or thinner, so the difference becomes very large. Therefore AB
If S(Ll-L2)BC exceeds a certain set range, it is determined to be a bad wind.

(6) If LIBCi deviates from the set value, it is considered a bad wind. 0LIBCi refers to the area of the first bright part. L
IBCiiiLIBC can be obtained by cumulatively counting all the scans of one vial test using the button. After all, in the case of Ryohinkaze, the LIBCI shows a nearly constant value, but in the case of Fushubin, it becomes an extremely large value or a small value. Therefore, if LIBCl deviates from a certain set value range, it is assumed to be a failure.

MCI refers to the number of scans in which mode 1 occurs in all scans of one bottle. Note that mode here refers to the number of bright areas, that is, how many imaging signal pulses are included in one scan.For example, at position ' in Figure 2, one bright area occurs, so it is called mode 1. The case where two bright areas occur, as shown in position 1 to odor, is called mode 2. MCX is determined by counting the number of scans in which mode 1 occurs in all scans. The number of occurrences of MCI, that is, mode 1, is constant in the case of non-defective winds, but fluctuates in the case of bad winds, so if the result of MC1 counting is outside the set range, it is determined to be a bad wind.

(9) M C2が設定値を外れたら不良風とする。(9) If MC2 deviates from the set value, it is considered a defective wind.

The position at which mode 2 or mode 3 changes to mode 1 is constant in the case of non-defective products. Therefore, by checking the position of this mode change, it is also possible to detect a defective wind.

In addition, to carry out this invention, it is possible to check all bottle openings of an inspection bottle by rotating the bottle once using one unit consisting of one camera and two light sources. As shown in Figure 4, one unit of a camera 41 and a light source 42,43 is placed near the conveyor 40 on which the bottles 1 are placed and moved,
4. Place 1 unit of light source 45.46, then place bottle 1
After the means for rotating the camera 47 by 90 degrees, a light source 48 .
1 unit of 49, further camera 50, light source 51.52
One unit of the test bottle 1 may be arranged, and all the openings of the test bottle 1 may be tested using these four units. In FIG. 4, a camera 41 inspects the inner half of the mouth of the bottle 1, and a camera 44 inspects the other half. This camera 41, 44
Most of the bottle opening of bottle 1 can be inspected using this method, but strictly speaking, inspection of the end of the bottle opening, that is, the tangential direction to the camera, will be rough.
It was rotated by 47° and the semicircular portion was inspected again using the camera 47.50. According to the bottle inspection method of the present invention, as described above, the first light source is placed above the bottle mouth. At the same time, a second light source is provided diagonally horizontally of the bottle mouth, the light beam from the first light source is irradiated on the upper surface of the bottle mouth, and the light ray from the second light source is irradiated on the side of the bottle mouth. Because of the increased pressure, it is possible to detect dirt below the side of the bottle mouth, which could not be detected with the conventional method of placing a light source only above the bottle mouth, as well as defects such as broken or defective bottles. It has the advantage of being able to detect rust and dirt on round iron.
