Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a sensing head of an optical displacement sensor, and more particularly to a dispenser nozzle suitable for use in an FPD (Flat Panel Display) production line. The sensor head of the optical displacement sensor of the adhesive application operation or the like. [Prior Art] In the FPD (Flat Panel Display) production line, there is a dispenser. In the subsequent coating operation, micron-level gap management is required. An illustration of an adhesive application operation using such a dispenser is shown in Fig. 8. In addition, in the figure, the symbol a is a stage for transporting a glass substrate, b is a glass plate, c is an adhesive, d is a relative moving direction of the dispenser, e is a dispenser head, and f is a dispenser. The nozzle, h is the lifting direction of the dispenser, and G is the gap between the front end of the dispenser nozzle and the glass plate. As can be understood from the figure, the glass sheet b is carried by the stage a, and passes under the nozzle f of the dispenser, from right to left in the drawing. In this way, the ® nozzle f relatively moves the glass sheet b in the d direction. At this time, the adhesive c is ejected from the front end of the nozzle f to apply the adhesive to the surface of the glass plate b. The thickness of the adhesive c applied to the glass sheet b is related to the size of the gap between the front end of the nozzle f and the surface of the glass sheet b. When the size of the gap G between the front end of the dispenser nozzle f and the surface of the glass sheet b to be coated fluctuates in the conveyance of the glass sheet b to be the target, the thickness of the applied adhesive c becomes non-uniform. Will reduce the yield of the product. 1280350. Therefore, the prior art uses an optical displacement sensor for managing the gap between the dispenser nozzle front end of the FDP line and the coated object glass plate. That is, the height of the front end of the dispenser nozzle f is servo-controlled by the designated lifting/lowering mechanism, and the gap detected by the optical displacement sensor is often defined. The optical displacement sensor uses an amplifier-separated displacement sensor that is separated by a splitter head and a signal processing unit (referred to as an amplifier unit). The sensor head of the amplifier-separated displacement sensor has a diffuse reflection-corresponding type φ and a specular reflection type, but for a specular object such as glass, a positive-reflective-corresponding type of sensing head is used. The basic structure of the specular reflection-compatible sensor head is such that a light-emitting portion is housed in a housing having a predetermined shape as a light source, and an optical system for projecting light causes light from the light-emitting portion to be measured along an inclined optical axis. Irradiation of the object; the optical system for receiving light receives the reflected light from the object to be measured along the symmetrical tilt of the azimuth opposite to the oblique direction of the projection optical axis; and the light receiving element receives the light for receiving light. The reflected light is taken in and photoelectric φ is converted (see Patent Document 1). The 9th (al), (bl), and 9th (a2), (b2) diagrams respectively show the arrangement relationship of the prior art dispenser and the sensing head. In the figure, the symbol b is a glass plate, e is a dispenser head, f is a nozzle of the dispenser, j is a sensor head, L is a light projecting axis, and L2 is a light receiving axis. The arrangement example of the nozzle f and the sensing head j of the dispenser includes the first prior art shown in the (a 1)th diagram and the (bl) diagram, and the 9th (a2) diagram and the 9th (2b) diagram. A second prior art example is shown. In the first prior art example, the nozzle f itself is linear, and the measurement (L 1, L 2) of the sensor head j is disposed adjacent to the side of the nozzle f at 1280350 ^. In the second prior art example, the nozzle f is bent into a crank shape, and the measurement points (L1, L2) of the sensor head j are disposed at substantially the same position as the front end of the lens f. [Patent Document 1] International Patent WO 0 1 /7 3 3 7 5 A1 Booklet [Disclosure] (Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the first prior art example described above, because the nozzle f is at the front end and sensed The measurement point of the head j is excessively separated, so when the glass plate b is bent or # is wavy, the gap between the gap measured by the sensing head j and the gap between the tip end of the nozzle and the glass plate (the actual gap 値) ) will become a different issue. On the other hand, in the second prior art example described above, since the measurement points of the front end of the nozzle f and the sensing head j are close to each other, even if the glass plate b is curved or wavy, the gap measured by the sensing head j is used. After that, there is no significant difference between the gap between the front end of the nozzle and the glass plate (the actual gap). However, it takes a lot of labor and time to bend the nozzle f into a crank shape. In addition, when the nozzle is bent, the flow of the adhesive flowing inside the inside of the nozzle becomes unstable, and the injection operation becomes non-existent. Stability and other issues. The present invention is directed to the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a sensing head of an optical displacement sensor, for example, when applied to an adhesive coating step using a dispenser, even if the dispenser nozzle uses a straight line, it can be correctly The gap between the front end of the nozzle and the glass plate was measured. Other objects, effects and effects of the present invention are described below with reference to the specification, as long as they are easily understood by the relevant industry. 1280350 ^ (Means for Solving the Problem) The sensor head of the optical displacement sensor of the present invention houses a light-emitting portion as a light source and a light-emitting optical system for light from the light-emitting portion in a housing of a predetermined shape. The object to be measured is irradiated along the oblique projection optical axis; the optical system for receiving light receives the reflection from the measurement object along the illuminating optical axis that is symmetrically inclined with respect to the direction opposite to the oblique orientation of the projection optical axis. The light-receiving element receives the reflected light taken in through the light-receiving optical system and performs photoelectric conversion.壳体 The housing of the specified shape has a light-emitting side block for accommodating the light-emitting portion and the light-emitting optical system, and a light-projecting window; and a light-receiving side block for accommodating the light-receiving optical system and the light-receiving element, and a light receiving window; and a coupling member for combining the light projecting side block and the light receiving side block to be integrated; and between the light projecting side block and the light receiving side block, substantially at the light irradiation point on the object to be measured At the same position, there is a space for connecting the up and down direction. The gap between the tip end of the nozzle and the surface of the object to be measured directly under the nozzle can be measured by the linear nozzle in the space through the dispenser that is disposed to pass through. According to this configuration, the measuring point of the sensing head is located substantially at the front end of the dispenser nozzle, so that when applied to the adhesive coating step using the dispenser, even if the dispenser nozzle uses a straight line, it can be correct. The gap between the tip of the nozzle and the glass plate was measured. In a preferred embodiment, the light-emitting side block includes: a light-emitting side substrate, a component constituting the light-emitting portion or the light-emitting optical system, and a light-emitting side cover surrounded by the light-emitting side substrate; The parts are equipped with a light projection window 1280350. Similarly, the light-receiving side block includes a light-receiving side substrate in which components constituting the light-receiving optical system or the light-receiving element are assembled, and a light-receiving side cover, which surrounds the components of the light-receiving side substrate, and is provided with a light receiving window. Further, the light-emitting side substrate, the coupling member, and the light-receiving side substrate are used in combination with one flat plate-shaped support plate. According to this configuration, the components constituting the light-emitting portion or the light-receiving optical system and the components constituting the light-receiving optical system or the light-receiving element are all assembled in one flat support plate, so that the positioning of the optical system becomes exactly # Good, and the construction is also simple and sturdy. In the preferred embodiment, the missing portion is formed at a position adjacent to the space of the support plate, and has a function as a window facing the light irradiation point on the object to be measured. According to this configuration, the missing portion has a function as a window facing the light irradiation point on the object to be measured. Therefore, the relationship between the tip end of the nozzle and the measurement point can be recognized and illumination can be performed. In a preferred embodiment, a mounting plate is provided on the support plate for mounting the dispenser. In this way, the sensor head can be securely attached to the dispenser. Φ In the preferred embodiment, the opening surface of the light projecting window and the opening surface of the light receiving window are inclined surfaces which are symmetrically inclined with each other. According to this configuration, the gap can be accurately measured even when the distance between the nozzle and the glass plate is close. (Effect of the Invention) According to the present invention, 'because the measuring point of the sensing head is located directly under the front end of the dispenser nozzle, when applied to the adhesive coating step using the dispenser, even if the dispenser nozzle uses a straight line It is also possible to correctly measure 1280350 - the gap between the front end of the nozzle and the glass plate. [Embodiment] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing the appearance of the sensor head of the present invention as seen obliquely from the front left side, Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing the appearance seen from the right oblique front side, and Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing the appearance seen from the lower oblique front side. Figure 4 shows the appearance projection. The sensing head of the present invention houses a light-emitting portion as a light source (described in detail later) in a housing of a predetermined shape, and an optical system for projecting light, which causes the light from the light-emitting portion to follow the tilting optical axis. Irradiation of the measurement target object (described later in detail); the optical system for receiving light receives the reflected light from the measurement target object along the illuminating optical axis inclined symmetrically to the direction opposite to the oblique direction of the projection optical axis (Detailed later); and the light-receiving element receives the reflected light taken in through the light-receiving optical system, and performs photoelectric conversion. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 (a), (b), (c), (d), and (e), the case of the housing of the specified shape has the light projecting side block 2 and the light receiving side block 3, And a joint member for combining the light projecting side block 2 and the light receiving side block 3 (details are as described later in φ). Between the light-emitting side block 2 and the light-receiving side block 3, a space 17 is provided to communicate the up-and-down direction at a position substantially equivalent to the light irradiation point on the measurement target. As will be described later, in the space 17, by arranging the linear nozzles 26 of the dispenser to be vertically penetrated (see the seventh drawing in detail), the nozzle tip can be measured in a state where the nozzles 26 are located at the predetermined injection position. And a gap between the surface of the measurement object located substantially below it. That is, the light-emitting side block 2 includes a light-emitting side substrate for assembling components constituting the light-emitting portion or the light-emitting optical system (described later in detail); -10- 1280350 and the light-emitting side cover 4 And surrounding the component assembled on the light projecting side substrate and the opening provided with the light projecting window 9. In the same manner, the light-receiving side block 3 includes a light-receiving side substrate for assembling components constituting the light-receiving optical system or the light-receiving element (described later in detail), and a light-receiving side cover 5 that is surrounded by the light-receiving side substrate. The parts are equipped with a light receiving window 10 . Further, the light-emitting side substrate, the bonding member, and the light-receiving side substrate are used in combination as one flat support plate. According to such a configuration, the components constituting the light-emitting portion or the light-emitting optical system and the components constituting the light-receiving optical system or the light-receiving element are all mounted in a single flat support plate 6 so that the optical system is positioned. Good precision, and simple and sturdy construction. That is, as shown in the fifth (a), (b), and (a), (b), the support plate 6 has a function as a light-emitting side substrate (the right side in the drawing), and A region (the left region in the figure) that functions as a light receiving side substrate. On the function of the light-emitting side substrate, components (light-emitting element substrate 18, light-emitting lens 19, lens holder > 20, etc.) constituting the light-emitting portion or the light-emitting optical system are incorporated thereon. Covered with a light-emitting side cover 4. In the region functioning as the light-receiving side substrate, components (light-receiving lens 21, mirror 23, light-receiving element assembly 24, and the like) constituting the light-receiving optical system or the light-receiving element are incorporated, and the light-receiving side cover 5 is covered thereon. On the support plate 6, a missing portion 11 is formed in the boundary between the light-emitting substrate region and the light-receiving substrate region. The missing portion 1 1 is formed at a position facing the measurement point (light irradiation point) obliquely upward, and the illumination light can be irradiated to the measurement point when the measurement point is monitored by a camera or the like. Further, in Figs. 1 to 5 (a) and (b), reference numeral 7 is an electric wire, 8 is a plug, and 1 2 to 15 are mounting holes. -11- 1280350. According to this configuration, as shown in Fig. 7, by arranging the linear nozzles 26 of the dispenser in the space 17 which is vertically penetrated, the nozzles 26 can be positioned at predetermined positions of the nozzles. The gap between the tip end of the nozzle and the surface of the measurement object (glass plate 27) which is substantially right is measured, because the measuring portion of the sensing head is located substantially at the front end of the dispenser nozzle 26, so when it is applied to the use of the dispenser In the agent coating step, the dispenser nozzle 26 can be linear, and the gap between the nozzle tip and the glass plate 27 can be accurately measured. Further, particularly in the present example, since the light projecting window forming surface 4a and the light receiving window forming surface 5a are symmetrically inclined, even when the nozzle 26 and the glass plate 27 are in close proximity, because of the crossing angle It is vast, so the gap G that becomes the object can be measured with high accuracy. Further, in the above embodiments, the light-emitting element may use a laser diode (LD), a light-emitting diode (LED), or the like. Further, the light receiving element can use a one- or two-element CMOS image sensor, a one- or two-element CCD, a PSD, or the like. In addition, the cross-sectional shape of the light projection may be in the form of dots or on the line. In addition, the sensing head 1 of the present invention can correctly make the position of the nozzle 26 directly below the measuring point in its nature, but in the actual adhesive coating operation, it is preferable to make the nozzle 26 directly below. The position slightly offset to the side becomes the measurement point. In this way, erroneous measurement of the gap due to the injected adhesive can be avoided. (Industrial Applicability) According to the present invention, since the measuring point of the sensing head is located substantially directly below the front end of the dispenser nozzle, when applied to the step of applying the primer 120-1280350 - cloth using the dispenser Even if the dispenser nozzle uses a straight line, the gap between the nozzle tip and the glass plate can be accurately measured.
