Description of the Invention: TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an inspection apparatus for a thread peak. In particular, an inspection apparatus for finding the unevenness of the thread peak formed in the male screw is found. [Prior Art] The Mars plug used in the engine or the heating appliance of the vehicle has a screw structure according to the workability of the exchange work. Also, the ball screw (b a 11 s c r e w ) used for the position adjustment of the platform is also constructed using a screw. However, when the thread peak is damaged and there is unevenness, the male screw and the female screw cannot be screwed, or they cannot be removed even if they can be screwed. For this purpose, the screws are used in their manufacturing work to determine if the thread peaks are crushed or if they are within the allowable range. As an apparatus for inspecting the shape of the thread peak, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a device for illuminating light from one side portion and imaging the obtained transmitted light in the opposite side portion with respect to the thread peak. The emitted light is shaded in the portion of the thread peak to become a silhouette, and the shape of the screw is detected by detecting the transmitted light in the valley portion. However, such a device can detect a certain shape defect, but depending on the degree of deformation, there is an unrecognizable condition. Fig. 6 is a view showing a mode configuration for explaining the principle of the prior inspection apparatus. (a) to (d) are different in shape of the object to be inspected, and (a1) to (d1) disclose the structure in which the light source is disposed on the left side and the image sensor is disposed on the right side. (a2) to (d2) reveal the state of the inspection object viewed from the light source side. The object to be inspected is convenient for the description, and the plate of -5-201128163 is used as the basic. (a) reveals that the object to be inspected is in a normal state. The emitted light from the light source is partially blocked by the inspection object, and the shape of the inspection object is recognized by the light that has not been blocked by the image sensor, and (b) reveals that the apex of the inspection object is missing. State. At this time, the emitted light from the light source is not shielded from light in the missing portion, so the image sensor can recognize the shape shown in (b2). Shape defects can then be detected using a comparison with a pre-memorized normal pattern. (c) Similarly to (b), the state in which the object to be inspected is deformed is revealed, and the apex of the object to be inspected is pressed to form a burr. At this time, the image sensor also recognizes the burr as a shading portion. (d) A state in which irregularities are formed on the side of the light source side of the inspection object. At this time, the overall shape of the inspection object is the same as the normal pattern, so the image sensor cannot detect the presence or absence of the unevenness. In this way, when a shape change occurs in a direction in which the light path from the light source toward the image sensor intersects, the image sensor can detect the shape change, but along the light path from the light source toward the image sensor. When the shape is changed in the traveling direction, since the light-shielding region is not affected, the shape change cannot be detected as a result. Further, Patent Document 2 and Patent Document 3 disclose a structure for illuminating light from a side portion of a thread peak and sensing the reflected light. However, although such a device can recognize the presence or absence of a thread peak or the presence or absence of deformation, it does not correctly identify the deformation. Further, when irregularities are generated in a part of the thread peak, the reflected light of the unevenness is received. -6- 201128163 That is, the above-mentioned inspection apparatus is capable of detecting a certain defective product. However, there is a problem that the defect cannot be recognized depending on the degree of shape change, and there is a problem that high-precision detection cannot be performed. However, although most light sources are used, it takes a lot of time to illuminate the light from a complex angle to improve the detection accuracy. However, the screw is originally a small thing, and the high-sensitivity detection is not easy due to the deformation of the thread peak [Previous technique] [Patent Document 1] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. Hei No. 5-240738 [Patent Document 3] Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5 5 - 7 0 7 0 2 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [Problem to be Solved by the Invention] This invention provides an inspection apparatus that can be well recognized regardless of how the thread peak is deformed. [Means for Solving the Problem] In order to solve the above-described problems, the inspection device for the thread peak of the present invention is based on a light source portion of the outer surface of a screw having a partial and continuous illumination rotation, and receives the reflected light from the screw. In the structure of the image processing unit 201128163 which recognizes the shape of the thread peak based on the rotation information of the screw and the imaging information, the image sensor is characterized in that the reflected light is not recognized when the thread is normal. However, at least when the concave and convex portions of the thread peak are desired, at least the region which is caused by the opposite of the concave and convex portions to receive light can be observed. Further, it is characterized in that the light source portion is formed in two, and the snail is illuminated from the front and the rear of the direction of rotation of the screw in the region, and the light source portion is characterized by no radiation wavelength. [Effect of the invention] In the inspection device for the thread peak, since the reflection sensor from the surface of the screw is placed only when the unevenness is formed, and the imaging sensor is disposed, it is possible to reliably detect the formation of the screw and further to emit different wavelengths by the arrangement. The two light sources of light can more accurately grasp the shape of the concavities and convexities like the shading or color rendering characteristics of the image. [Embodiment] FIG. 1 is a view showing the flaw of the thread peak inspection device of the present invention. The screw that is to be inspected is attached to the holding table 1 by the rotating portion 1 a, and is rotated in the direction shown in the figure, that is, the direction in which the female screw is screwed. The light source 2 (2a, 2b) illuminates the outer surface of the screw through the diffusion plate 3 (3a, 3b). The presence of the diffuser 3 (3a, 3b) illuminates the length of the male screw. Furthermore, the length of the male screw is, for example, about 2 to 3 m. The lens, the image sensor, and the image processing unit which will be described later are omitted. The shape of the peak is such that there is no light and the peak of the aforementioned region is present. with. Thread peak light position Bump. According to the photographing structure portion la. Rotating in the emitted light by expanding to the entire area, Fig. 1 is a -8-201128163. Fig. 2 is a view showing the state of the inspection apparatus shown in the figure from above. The light source 2a and the light source 2b, the diffusing plate 33, and the diffusing plate 3b are connected to each other by a screw, a lens 4, and a virtual line A of the image sensor 4, and are arranged in line symmetry. The light L 1 a and the light L 2 a radiated from the diffusing plate 3 a are reflected on the outer surface of the screw and enter the imaging sensor 5 via the lens 4. Similarly, the light Llb and the light L2b radiated from the diffusing plate 3b are reflected on the outer surface of the screw, and the input information of the imaging sensor 5 is incident on the imaging sensor 5 via the lens 4, and is transmitted to the image processing unit 6. The image processing unit 6 can recognize the shape of the entire circumferential surface of the screw based on the light information from the image sensor 4 and the rotation information from the holding table 1. Further, the image sensor 5 uses an area sensor having an area corresponding to the size of the screw. The lens 4 extracts the reflected light from the region a of the outer surface of the screw in the emitted light of the light source 2a and the reflected light from the region b of the outer surface of the screw in the emitted light of the light source 2b. The emitted light of the light source 2 (2a' 2b ) also illuminates the outer surface area of the screw (e.g., 'region c) outside the aforementioned region (region a, region b) through the diffusion plate 3 (3a, 3b)'. However, the relationship of the illumination light due to the angle of incidence is not captured by the lens 4. Therefore, if the shape of the thread peak is normal, only the screw shapes of the aforementioned areas a and b will be received by the image sensor 5. Fig. 3 is a view for explaining the light path between the light source and the lens when the shape of the thread peak is normal. Further, the peaks and valleys of the screws are continuously formed in the vertical direction of the paper. However, in order to reveal the state in which the screws are cross-cut, the shape of the thread peaks is not shown. In the figure, 'the emitted light of the light source 2a' and the position p aa of the outer surface of the screw is irradiated by the light li a of the diffusing plate 3a, and the light L2a is irradiated with the position -9 * 201128163 of the outer surface of the screw. The reflected light of the area (area a) is captured by the lens 4. Similarly, the light emitted from the light source 2b, and the light Pb passing through the diffusing plate 3b illuminates the reflected light of the region (region b) formed between the position P1b of the outer surface of the screw and the position P2b of the outer surface of the screw irradiated with the light L2b. Also taken by the lens 4. On the other hand, for example, when the light L3a is irradiated away from the region (region c) of the region a, the reflected light is not captured by the lens 4. Therefore, the image sensor omitted from the illustration recognizes the reflected light from the area a and the reflected light from the area b with respect to the rotating screw, but does not recognize the reflected light of the area c. Further, regarding the longitudinal direction of the screw (the direction in which the screw travels when the screw is rotated), all the regions of the thread peak can be simultaneously illuminated by the diffusion plate 3 (3a, 3b). Therefore, when at least one of the screws is rotated, the image processing unit 6 can grip the entire shape of the peak portion of the thread. Fig. 4 is a view showing the light path between the light source and the lens when the shape of the thread peak is abnormal and the portion has undesired irregularities. Similarly to Fig. 3, the reflected light of the area a and the reflected light of the area b are extracted by the lens 4 and received by the imaging sensor 5. On the other hand, the light L3a on the light source 2a side is reflected in the region c on the uneven wall surface H1, and the reflected light is also captured by the lens 4. Further, the light L3b on the light source 2b side is reflected on the wall surface H2 of the unevenness in the region c, and the reflected light is also captured by the lens 4. That is, if the shape of the thread peak is normal, the reflected light of the region c is not picked up by the lens 4 due to the incident angle of the illumination light, but if there is an undesired unevenness in the thread peak, the concave and convex The reflected light from the wall is captured by the lens 4. This is a feature of the invention. Further, in the present invention, the convex wall surface HI of the concave -10-201128163 can be irradiated by the light emitted from the light source 2a, and the concave and convex wall surface H2 can be irradiated by the light emitted from the light source 2b. By arranging the two light sources in the opposite directions centering on the inspection object, the reflected light of the wall surface Η 1 and the wall surface H2 can be detected at the same time, and as a result, the uneven shape can be detected more accurately. As further explained, since the screw is rotating, although any irregularity can be recognized by the reflected light when the unevenness is located in the area a or the area b, since it is illumination from one direction of the unevenness, as shown in FIG. As illustrated, the embossing is not correctly recognized. FIG. 5 discloses the light-receiving state caused by the imaging sensor 5 (area sensor). Reveal the state of a moment of the screw being rotated. (a) reveals a situation in which the shape of the thread peak is normal in accordance with Fig. 3, and (b) reveals a condition corresponding to Fig. 4, and an undesired unevenness is formed in a portion of the thread peak. In (a), the imaging sensor 5 receives the reflected light from the area a of the light source 2a and the reflected light according to the area b of the light source 2b, but the reflected light from the area c is not received. For this reason, the area corresponding to the area c does not recognize any portrait. On the other hand, in (b), the imaging sensor 5 receives the reflected light according to the area a of the light source 2a and the reflected light according to the area b of the light source 2b, and receives light as in (a), but even in The area c also receives the reflected light from the wall surface of the unevenness. As described above, according to the present invention, the image sensor 5 is originally used to receive light to detect reflected light from the region, and the unevenness of the thread peak can be detected. The light source 2 is a person who emits visible light, and for example, an LED can be used. Further, in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, it is preferable that the light source 2a and the light source 2b emit light of different wavelengths (light of different colors). For example, for example, the light source 2a uses an LED that emits red light -11 - 201128163, and the light source 2b uses an LED that emits blue light. This advantage is because the image can be detected by using the difference between the wall surface reflected by the light of one light source and the wall surface reflected by the light of the other light source for one unevenness, and the image can be detected more specifically. The appearance of the shape. For example, in the case of Fig. 5 (b), when the red image G 1 and the blue image G2 are recognized, the combination of red and blue is a concavity and convexity, and the difference between the red and the blue is also possible. Further, it can be judged that the portion connected by the envelope of the image is the size of the unevenness. Further, it is also possible to distinguish from the unevenness which is generated close to it. However, if the light source 2a is the same as the light source 2b, the portrait G1 and the portrait G2 are recognized as the same pattern, and the image G3 existing in the vicinity thereof is also recognized, and it is difficult to specify which image is combined by the specific image. Thus, the invention also features illumination of different wavelengths of light (light of different colors) from opposite directions, respectively. The camera sensor is preferably a CCD camera that can take a color portrait. Also, the distance and focus from the thread peak can be adjusted by adjusting the lens. Further, in the above embodiment, the image sensor has been described using the area sensor, but it may be used as a line sensor. In this case, the same effect can be exhibited by using the line sensor only by using the area c as the light receiving area. The diffusion plate 3 is made of, for example, an acrylic plate or the like. Illumination from all directions can be performed by diffusing the illumination light to the screw. Thereby, unevenness can be detected with higher precision. In the foregoing embodiment, the case where the light source 2 and the diffusing plate 3 are fixed and the entire length of the screw can be simultaneously illuminated will be described. However, for example, in the case where the full length of the screw is longer, it may be The light source 2 and the diffuser plate 3 are moved in the entire length direction of the screw, and the outer surface of the screw is illuminated with the movement. Further, the above-mentioned Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4 are expressed in an extremely simplified manner in order to explain the convenience of the invention. For this reason, the angles and directions of the incident angle, the reflection angle, and the like are not necessarily optically described correctly. Further, the screw only shows the portion of the thread peak and the valley. However, the head and the body of the screw actually exist.
