Description
The present invention relates to a plate glass inspection apparatus, a plate glass inspection method, a plate glass manufacturing apparatus, and a plate glass manufacturing method used for inspecting plate glass, and more particularly, to a technique for more accurately detecting defects continuously occurring.
In recent years, thin flat panel displays have become widespread, among which the number of liquid crystal displays is the largest. Most of the substrate glass for liquid crystal used in the liquid crystal display is produced by the overflow down-draw method.
According to the overflow down-draw method, it is possible to form a nano-level smooth surface without polishing, so that a high-quality plate glass can be produced. However, defects may occur in the plate glass due to, for example, insufficient melting of the glass raw material, incorporation of foreign materials, deterioration of the apparatus, and variations in molding conditions.
Glass defects include, for example, defects (such as a knot, a malt (also referred to as a cord) and bubbles (also referred to as a seed or a blister)) caused by the inclusion of a foreign substance or a lack of dissolution of a glass raw material, (Wave, stripes, open pores, irregularities and flaws). In particular, it is necessary to accurately detect as much as possible at the early stage of plate glass molding and to feed back the detection results to the molding process since the occurrence of the malleies is continuous and the causes of the occurrence vary.
Here, Patent Literatures 1 to 4 disclose an apparatus for detecting glass defects such as fines by receiving light rays transmitted through a plate glass.
The apparatuses described in Patent Documents 1 to 4 still have room for improvement in inspection accuracy, inspection speed, apparatus cost, and the like.
For example, Patent Document 2 discloses "In order to reliably detect fine defects on a continuous plate glass surface, three inspection apparatuses are arranged in parallel and one sheet glass is inspected simultaneously using three inspection apparatuses, Can achieve a high detection rate and high productivity despite the simple construction "(paragraph 0083 of Patent Document 2).
However, in the plate glass defect inspection apparatus described in Patent Document 2, since the same inspection apparatuses are provided in parallel to inspect a single sheet glass at the same time, the apparatus configuration becomes complicated and the apparatus cost becomes high.
Simply increasing the number of inspection devices generally improves inspection accuracy and inspection speed. However, it is very useful if it is possible to improve inspection accuracy and inspection speed without increasing the number of inspection devices.
An object of the present invention is to provide a method of inspecting glass defects such as spots which are generated continuously in a plurality of plate glasses at the time of molding a plate glass without reducing the cost of the apparatus without complicating the structure of the apparatus, And to provide a plate glass inspection apparatus, a plate glass inspection method, a plate glass manufacturing apparatus, and a plate glass manufacturing method which can improve the inspection speed.

Here, in the plate glass inspection apparatus, the detection unit may include a photographing unit and an operation unit, and the photographing unit may introduce an image on the first sheet glass and the second sheet glass, It is preferable to extract the defect candidate portion based on the defect candidate portion and set the defect candidate range such that the defect candidate range is larger than the defect candidate portion.
Here, in the plate glass inspecting apparatus, the first plate glass and the second plate glass are plate glass formed by drawing a plate glass in a predetermined direction, and the detecting unit may detect a part of the first plate glass and the second plate glass, It is preferable to inspect a part of the first plate glass and the entire range of the first plate glass and the entire range of the second plate glass with respect to a direction orthogonal to the predetermined direction.
The conveying unit conveys the first sheet glass and the second sheet glass in the orthogonal direction with respect to the predetermined direction. The conveying unit conveys the first sheet glass and the second sheet glass to a fixing position of the conveying path of the first sheet glass and the second sheet glass, And a photographing unit for taking in an image of the image.
Here, in the plate glass inspection apparatus, it is preferable that the carry section includes a pulse output section for outputting a pulse according to the movement amount of the plate glass, and the photographing section introduces an image in accordance with the pulse.
In order to achieve the above object, a plate glass inspection method according to the present invention is a plate glass inspection method for inspecting a plurality of plate glasses, wherein a defect candidate range of a first plate glass and a defect candidate range of a second plate glass different from the first plate glass are detected A defective candidate range position of the first plate glass and a defective candidate range position of the second plate glass are compared with each other, and the presence or absence of a defect continuing to the first plate glass and the second plate glass And a judgment step of judging the judgment result.

When two plate glasses are inspected by the constitution of the plate glass inspection device, the plate glass inspection method, the plate glass manufacturing device and the plate glass manufacturing method described in the means for solving the problems and the defect candidate positions of the two sheet glasses are matched or close to each other It can be judged that the defect is a continuous defect in two sheets of glass. Therefore, in the inspection of glass defects such as spots which are generated continuously in a plurality of plate glasses at the time of forming the plate glass, it is possible to improve the inspection accuracy at the time of judging whether or not the plate glass is defective as compared with the case of individually inspecting the plate glass.
As a result, the device cost can be suppressed without complicating the device configuration.
Further, when the number of inspection apparatuses is increased, the inspection accuracy and the inspection speed can be improved as compared with the prior art.
