Description

檢查裝置Inspection device

本發明是關於對例如杯具等的檢查對象物進行檢查所用的檢查裝置。The present invention relates to an inspection device for inspecting an inspection object such as a cup.

以往,作為對例如食品或飲料的杯具等的外觀進行檢查的裝置已知有如專利文獻1所示的檢查裝置。如此的檢查裝置,是以1個線感測器照相機,一面使杯具旋轉同時將該杯具的內側面進行攝像,藉由將該所攝像的畫像和例如基準畫像相比較來檢查杯具的缺陷。Conventionally, as an apparatus for inspecting the external appearance of, for example, a cup or the like of food or beverage, an inspection device such as that disclosed in Patent Document 1 is known. Such an inspection device uses a line sensor camera to take pictures of the inner side of the cup while rotating the cup, and compares the captured image with, for example, a reference image to inspect the cup. defect.

並且,在該檢查裝置中配置凸緣攝影用鏡,以映出從線感測器照相機觀看成為死角的杯具的凸緣的側面,並將映於該凸緣攝影用鏡的凸緣的側面的像以線感測器照相機進行攝像。 〔專利文獻1〕日本特開2002-214154號公報。In addition, a flange photography mirror is arranged in the inspection device so as to reflect the side surface of the flange of the cup which is a dead angle when viewed from the line sensor camera, and to reflect the side surface of the flange of the flange photography mirror. The image is captured with a line sensor camera. [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-214154.

〔發明所欲解決的技術問題〕[Technical problems to be solved by the invention]

但是,在上述那樣的檢查裝置中,由於沒有配置用以照明杯具的光源,而存在有以線感測器照相機進行攝像的畫像變暗,而使杯具的檢查精度低下的問題。However, in the above-mentioned inspection device, since a light source for illuminating the cup is not provided, there is a problem that the image captured by the line sensor camera is darkened, and the inspection accuracy of the cup is lowered.

另外,於該檢查裝置,就算將用以照明杯具的光源配置在杯具的上方位置,由於凸緣攝影用鏡是以將2張平板狀的鏡子組合成L字狀者所構成,來自於光源的照明光被凸緣攝影用鏡所遮蔽,在杯具的凸緣的側面中的被凸緣攝影用鏡所遮檔光線的部分的照明會不足。其結果,會發生以下問題:藉由線感測器照相機對在凸緣攝影用鏡映出的凸緣的側面的像進行拍攝的攝像畫像變暗,而造成凸緣的側面的檢查精度低下的問題。In addition, in this inspection device, even if a light source for illuminating a cup is arranged above the cup, the flange photography mirror is formed by combining two flat mirrors into an L shape. The illumination light of the light source is blocked by the flange photography mirror, and the part of the side surface of the flange of the cup which is blocked by the flange photography mirror is insufficiently illuminated. As a result, a problem arises that the image of the side of the flange reflected on the flange photography mirror by the line sensor camera becomes dark, and the inspection accuracy of the side of the flange is low. problem.

本發明,是著眼於此種存在於先前技術的問題點而完成者。其目的在於,提供一種檢查裝置,其可將檢查對象物一次性從複數個方向精度佳地檢查。The present invention has been completed by focusing on such problems existing in the prior art. An object of the present invention is to provide an inspection device capable of inspecting an inspection target from a plurality of directions at once with high accuracy.

〔用以解決問題的技術方案〕[Technical solution to solve the problem]

以下,記載用以解決上述問題的手段及其作用效果。The means for solving the above problems and their effects are described below.

解決上述問題的檢查裝置,其具備:照明部,其對檢查對象物進行照明;攝像部,其可從第1方向對前述檢查對象物進行攝像;以及鏡子,其可將前述檢查對象物從與前述第1方向交叉的第2方向映出,前述鏡子配置在可藉由前述攝像部攝像的攝像區域內且不妨礙前述照明部對前述檢查對象物進行照明的位置上;前述攝像部將前述檢查對象物和映照在前述鏡子的前述檢查對象物的像作為1個畫像一次性攝像。An inspection device that solves the above problems includes an illumination unit that illuminates the inspection object, an imaging unit that can image the inspection object from a first direction, and a mirror that can separate the inspection object from The second direction intersecting the first direction reflects that the mirror is disposed in a position where the imaging area can be imaged by the imaging unit and does not prevent the illumination unit from illuminating the inspection object; the imaging unit performs the inspection The object and the image of the inspection object reflected in the mirror are captured as one image at a time.

憑藉此構成,由於不會被鏡子妨礙照明部所進行的檢查對象物的照明,可藉由照明部充分照明檢查對象物。因此,藉由攝像部,可將檢查對象物和映於鏡子的檢查對象物的像作為1個畫像一次性(一起)在明亮的狀態下攝像。因此,可將檢查對象物一次性從複數個方向精度佳地檢查。With this configuration, since the illumination of the inspection object by the illumination unit is not hindered by the mirror, the inspection object can be sufficiently illuminated by the illumination unit. Therefore, with the imaging unit, the image of the inspection object and the inspection object reflected on the mirror can be imaged as one image at a time (together) in a bright state. Therefore, the inspection target can be inspected with accuracy from a plurality of directions at one time.

於上述檢查裝置,較佳為,前述照明部形成為環狀,並以從前述第1方向觀看圍繞前述攝像部的方式配置。In the inspection device, it is preferable that the illumination unit is formed in a ring shape and is disposed so as to surround the imaging unit when viewed from the first direction.

憑藉此構成,可對藉由攝像部所攝像的檢查對象物藉由照明部而有效地進行照明。With this configuration, it is possible to efficiently illuminate the inspection target imaged by the imaging section by the illumination section.

於上述檢查裝置,較佳為,前述鏡子以從前述第1方向觀看圍繞前述檢查對象物的方式配置。In the inspection apparatus, it is preferable that the mirror is arranged so as to surround the inspection object when viewed from the first direction.

憑藉此構成,檢查對象物中所有的無法藉由攝像部直接攝像的處所,可藉由攝像部透過鏡子而間接地攝像。With this configuration, all the places in the inspection target that cannot be imaged directly by the imaging unit can be indirectly imaged by the imaging unit through the mirror.

於上述檢查裝置,較佳為,前述鏡子配置成在前述第1方向上比前述檢查對象物更靠近前述攝像部側的位置上。In the inspection apparatus, it is preferable that the mirror is disposed closer to the imaging unit side than the inspection target in the first direction.

憑藉此構成,例如使檢查對象物複數連續移動同時進行攝像時,能夠不被鏡子妨礙檢查對象物的移動。With this configuration, for example, when a plurality of inspection objects are continuously moved while imaging is performed, it is possible to prevent the movement of the inspection objects by the mirror.

於上述檢查裝置,較佳為,前述照明部具備:光源;及反射面,該反射面用以將來自於前述光源的光予以反射並照射於前述檢查對象物上。In the inspection device, preferably, the illumination unit includes a light source and a reflecting surface for reflecting light from the light source and irradiating the inspection object.

憑藉此構成,由於檢查對象物會被來自於光源的光間接地照明,可抑制例如檢查對象物是以容易反射光的材料構成的時候,由攝像部所攝像的畫像產生光暈。With this configuration, since the inspection object is indirectly illuminated by light from a light source, for example, when the inspection object is made of a material that easily reflects light, halo can be prevented from occurring in the image captured by the imaging unit.

以下,依據圖式針對將檢查裝置具體化為用以進行杯具的檢查的杯具檢查裝置的一實施型態進行說明。In the following, an embodiment of a cup inspection device that is implemented as an inspection device for inspecting a cup is described with reference to the drawings.

如圖1所示,作為檢查裝置的一例的杯具檢查裝置11配置在輸送機13的正上方,該輸送機13將作為檢查對象物的一例的複數個杯具12從上游側(圖1中為右側)往下游側(圖1中為左側)依序搬運。杯具12形成為上端開口的有底圓筒狀,並以開口側朝向成為杯具檢查裝置11側、即上側的狀態由帶式輸送機13進行搬運。As shown in FIG. 1, a cup inspection device 11 as an example of an inspection device is disposed directly above a conveyor 13 that passes a plurality of cups 12 as an example of an inspection object from the upstream side (in FIG. 1). (Right side) to downstream side (left side in Figure 1). The cup 12 is formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape with an open upper end, and is conveyed by the belt conveyor 13 in a state where the open side faces the cup inspection device 11 side, that is, the upper side.

如圖2所示,杯具12具備:合成樹脂製的白色的本體部14,其形成為上端開口的有底圓筒狀;圓環狀的凸緣部15,其設於本體部14的上端;以及圓筒狀的薄膜16,其設置成包覆本體部14的外周面。於薄膜16印刷有圖樣等。本體部14的周壁具有椎狀,使得本體部14的底部側比開口側的直徑更小。並且,凸緣部15在其徑向的兩側從本體部14突出一些。As shown in FIG. 2, the cup 12 includes a white body portion 14 made of synthetic resin, which is formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape with an open upper end, and a ring-shaped flange portion 15 provided on the upper end of the body portion 14. And a cylindrical film 16 provided to cover the outer peripheral surface of the body portion 14. A pattern or the like is printed on the film 16. The peripheral wall of the body portion 14 has a vertebral shape so that the diameter of the bottom side of the body portion 14 is smaller than the diameter of the opening side. Further, the flange portion 15 protrudes slightly from the main body portion 14 on both sides in the radial direction.

由於在杯具12內部收容優格(yoghurt)或膠凍(jelly)等的食品或果汁等的飲品,故有必要檢查於內底面、內側面、以及凸緣部15的上表面是否有異物或污垢等。又,杯具12藉由將本體部14、凸緣部15、以及薄膜16一體成形來進行製造。因此,於成形杯具12時,有時對薄膜16進行印刷的油墨(ink)17會在凸緣部15的下表面和本體部14的內周面之間滲出並塊化。因此,有必要將此塊化的油墨17也列為檢查的對象。Since food such as yoghurt or jelly, or beverages such as fruit juice are contained in the cup 12, it is necessary to check whether there is a foreign object or an upper surface of the inner bottom surface, the inner side surface, and the flange portion 15. Dirt and so on. The cup 12 is manufactured by integrally molding the body portion 14, the flange portion 15, and the film 16. Therefore, when the cup 12 is formed, the ink 17 for printing the film 16 may ooze between the lower surface of the flange portion 15 and the inner peripheral surface of the main body portion 14 and become agglomerated. Therefore, it is necessary to list the blocked ink 17 as an inspection target.

如圖1所示,杯具檢查裝置11具備:控制部20,其總括地對杯具檢查裝置11的運轉狀態進行控制;以及光感測器21,其檢測出藉由帶式輸送機13所搬運的杯具12。另外,杯具檢查裝置11具備:1個照明部22,該照明部22是從上側對被藉由光感測器21所檢測出的杯具12進行照明;1個照相機23,其作為對藉由照明部22被照明的杯具12從正上方進行攝像的攝像部的一例;以及將杯具12中的內周面和凸緣部15的下表面之間映出的複數(本實施型態為4個)個鏡子24。As shown in FIG. 1, the cup inspection device 11 includes a control unit 20 that collectively controls the operation state of the cup inspection device 11, and a light sensor 21 that detects that the Carrying cups 12. In addition, the cup inspection device 11 includes: a lighting unit 22 that illuminates the cup 12 detected by the light sensor 21 from the upper side; and a camera 23 that serves as a borrower. An example of an imaging unit in which the cup 12 which is illuminated by the lighting unit 22 captures an image from directly above; and a plural number which reflects between the inner peripheral surface of the cup 12 and the lower surface of the flange portion 15 (this embodiment For 4) 24 mirrors.

照相機23,是區域感測器照相機,並配置成可從垂直向下的方向亦即第1方向對杯具12進行攝像。照明部22,是呈將圓頂形狀者的上端部予以切除而使厚度變薄的圓環狀,並配置成從第1方向觀看圍繞照相機23。亦即,照相機23,是配置成從照明部22的上側插入於照明部22的中心部,且下端比起照明部22的下端的開口部29位於更上側一些。The camera 23 is an area sensor camera, and is configured to capture images of the cup 12 from a vertical downward direction, that is, a first direction. The illuminating portion 22 is formed in a circular shape in which an upper end portion of a dome-shaped person is cut away to reduce the thickness, and is arranged to surround the camera 23 when viewed from the first direction. That is, the camera 23 is disposed so as to be inserted from the upper side of the illuminating unit 22 into the central portion of the illuminating unit 22, and the lower end is located at an upper side than the opening portion 29 at the lower end of the illuminating unit 22.

在照明部22的圓環狀的周壁的下端部,以沿著該周壁的方式設有圓環狀的鍔部25。鍔部25在其徑向的兩側從照明部22的周壁突出一些。鍔部25中的位於照明部22的周壁的內側的部分的上表面,形成有圓環狀的溝26。A ring-shaped crotch portion 25 is provided at a lower end portion of the ring-shaped peripheral wall of the lighting portion 22 so as to follow the peripheral wall. The crotch portion 25 protrudes from the peripheral wall of the lighting portion 22 on both sides in the radial direction. An annular groove 26 is formed on the upper surface of a portion of the crotch portion 25 that is located inside the peripheral wall of the lighting portion 22.

於溝26內以沿著溝26的周向成為等間隔的方式配置有複數個光源27。光源27例如是以發光二極體等所構成,並遍及溝26全體地進行配置。照明部22的內周面成為沿著圓頂形狀的內面的凹曲面狀的反射面28,反射面28將使來自於光源27的光漫射而成的擴散光通過照明部22的下端的開口部29照射於杯具12。A plurality of light sources 27 are arranged in the trench 26 so as to be equally spaced along the circumferential direction of the trench 26. The light source 27 is made of, for example, a light-emitting diode, and is arranged throughout the groove 26. The inner peripheral surface of the illuminating portion 22 becomes a concave curved surface reflecting surface 28 along the dome-shaped inner surface. The reflecting surface 28 passes diffused light diffused by the light from the light source 27 through the lower end of the illuminating portion 22. The opening portion 29 is irradiated on the cup 12.

各鏡子24,是形成為矩形板狀,並配置於在第1方向上比杯具12更靠近照相機23側。亦即,各鏡子24,是配置於杯具12和照明部22之間。4個鏡子24,是從第1方向觀看為圍繞杯具12,並以沿著杯具12的周向成為幾乎等間隔的方式進行配置。在此情況下,4個鏡子24,是配置在照相機23的可攝像的攝像區域R(參照圖3)內,且不妨礙照明部22所進行的杯具12的照明的位置上。亦即,4個鏡子24,配置成在第1方向上不與杯具12重疊。Each mirror 24 is formed in a rectangular plate shape, and is arranged closer to the camera 23 side than the cup 12 in the first direction. That is, each mirror 24 is disposed between the cup 12 and the lighting unit 22. The four mirrors 24 are arranged so as to surround the cup 12 when viewed from the first direction, and are arranged at almost regular intervals along the circumferential direction of the cup 12. In this case, the four mirrors 24 are located in positions where the camera 23 can capture an imageable imaging region R (see FIG. 3) and do not interfere with the lighting of the cup 12 by the lighting unit 22. That is, the four mirrors 24 are arranged so as not to overlap the cup 12 in the first direction.

4個鏡子24從與第1方向交叉的橫向亦即第2方向遍及杯具12的全周無遺漏地將杯具12中的內周面和凸緣部15的下表面之間映出,並各自被調整角度成為能夠以照相機23攝像它們所映出的像。因此,照相機23,能夠將杯具12和映於4個鏡子24的各者的杯具12的像作為1個畫像一次性(一起)攝像。The four mirrors 24 reflect the inner peripheral surface of the cup 12 and the lower surface of the flange portion 15 from the horizontal direction that crosses the first direction, that is, the second direction throughout the entire circumference of the cup 12 and The respective angles are adjusted so that the images they project can be captured by the camera 23. Therefore, the camera 23 can image the cup 12 and the image of the cup 12 reflected by each of the four mirrors 24 as one image at a time (together).

又,照明部22、照相機23、以及4個鏡子24,是被以昇降機構(圖示省略)進行昇降的框架(圖示省略)所支持,藉由使該框架昇降而可任意變更高度。此外,本實施型態中的光感測器21,是配置在相對於照明部22於杯具12的上游側相鄰的位置,但根據照相機23的快門速度、帶式輸送機13所進行的杯具12的搬運速度、以及光感測器21的性能等會適當地變更配置處所。The lighting unit 22, the camera 23, and the four mirrors 24 are supported by a frame (not shown) for raising and lowering by an elevating mechanism (not shown), and the height can be arbitrarily changed by raising and lowering the frame. In addition, the light sensor 21 in this embodiment is disposed at a position adjacent to the upstream side of the cup 12 with respect to the lighting portion 22, but is performed based on the shutter speed of the camera 23 and the belt conveyor 13. The transportation speed of the cup 12 and the performance of the light sensor 21 may be changed as appropriate.

如圖1所示,控制部20與光感測器21、照相機23、以及顯示部31各自電性連接。顯示部31,例如是以液晶顯示器等所構成。並且,控制部20,是將從光感測器21所發送的訊號予以接收,並根據該接收的訊號來控制照相機23的攝像動作。As shown in FIG. 1, the control unit 20 is electrically connected to each of the light sensor 21, the camera 23, and the display unit 31. The display unit 31 is configured by, for example, a liquid crystal display or the like. The control unit 20 receives a signal transmitted from the light sensor 21 and controls the imaging operation of the camera 23 based on the received signal.

控制部20構成為具備CPU、ROM以及RAM。並且,控制部20,是藉著執行記憶於ROM的杯具檢查用程式,來建構畫像處理部32、判定部33、顯示控制部34,同時將RAM的一部分構成為記憶部35。於記憶部35記憶有用以進行杯具12的檢查的良否判定的後述的既定値N。The control unit 20 is configured to include a CPU, a ROM, and a RAM. In addition, the control unit 20 constructs the image processing unit 32, the determination unit 33, and the display control unit 34 by executing a cup inspection program stored in the ROM, and configures a part of the RAM as the memory unit 35. The memory unit 35 memorizes a predetermined value N which will be described later to determine whether the cup 12 is good or bad.

畫像處理部32,是將以照相機23進行攝像的畫像資料予以2値化或進行濃淡變換而形成黑白的畫像資料。該黑白的畫像資料,是在杯具12中的無異常的區域變白,另一方面在杯具12中的附著有油墨等的異物或污垢的部分變黑。判定部33,是根據在畫像處理部32形成的黑白的畫像資料,判定包含映於各鏡子24的杯具12的像的、杯具12所存在的區域中黑色的畫素是否在予先所設定的既定値N以上而塊化存在。The image processing unit 32 converts image data captured by the camera 23 into two-dimensional image data or converts the image data to form monochrome image data. The black-and-white image data becomes white in a region where there is no abnormality in the cup 12, and on the other hand, a portion of the cup 12 where foreign matter or dirt such as ink adheres becomes black. The determination unit 33 determines whether or not the black pixels in the area where the cup 12 is included, including the image of the cup 12 reflected on each mirror 24, based on the black and white image data formed by the image processing unit 32. Blocks exist above the set predetermined 値 N.

顯示控制部34,是在藉由判定部33判定為包含映於各鏡子24的杯具12的像的、杯具12所存在的區域中黑色的畫素是在予先設定的既定値N以上而塊化存在的時候,使顯示部31顯示表示杯具12為不良品之「NG」的文字。另一方面,顯示控制部34,當藉由判定部33判定為包含映於各鏡子24的杯具12的像的、杯具12所存在的區域中黑色的畫素不是在予先設定的既定値N以上而塊化存在的時候,使顯示部31顯示表示杯具12為良品之「OK」的文字。The display control unit 34 determines that the black pixels in the area where the cups 12 exist including the image of the cups 12 reflected by the respective mirrors 24 determined by the determination unit 33 are equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold N On the other hand, when the block exists, the display unit 31 displays a character "NG" indicating that the cup 12 is a defective product. On the other hand, the display control unit 34 determines that the black pixels in the area where the cups 12 exist including the image of the cups 12 reflected in the respective mirrors 24 by the determination unit 33 are not predetermined predetermined settings. When the block size is equal to or greater than N, the display unit 31 displays a text "OK" indicating that the cup 12 is a good product.

其次,說明以杯具檢查裝置11檢查杯具12時的動作。Next, an operation when the cup 12 is inspected by the cup inspection device 11 will be described.

藉由帶式輸送機13所搬運的杯具12被光感測器21所檢測出。以光感測器21所檢測出的杯具12,是當被搬運至照相機23的正下方時,在由照明部22進行照明的狀態下以照相機23進行攝像。此時,由於照明部22所進行的杯具12的照明不會被各鏡子24所妨礙,在藉由照明部22杯具12充分地被照明的狀態下照相機23將杯具12和映於各鏡子24的杯具12的像作為1個畫像一次性(一起)攝像。因此,可藉由照相機23一次性攝出明亮的畫像。The cups 12 carried by the belt conveyor 13 are detected by the light sensor 21. When the cup 12 detected by the light sensor 21 is carried directly below the camera 23, the camera 23 captures an image in a state of being illuminated by the illumination unit 22. At this time, since the lighting of the cups 12 by the lighting unit 22 is not hindered by the mirrors 24, the camera 23 reflects the cups 12 and The image of the cup 12 of the mirror 24 is captured as a single image (together). Therefore, a bright image can be taken by the camera 23 at a time.

並且,於該照相機23,如圖3所示,不只在杯具12的內底面、內側面、以及凸緣部15的上表面,通常也會將成為照相機23的死角的凸緣部15的下表面和本體部14的內周面之間的區域透過各鏡子24進行攝像。此情況,當杯具12中的凸緣部15的下表面和本體部14的內周面之間存在有油墨17的結塊的情況,如圖3所示,映出存在有油墨17的結塊的區域的鏡子24上會映出油墨17的結塊。In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, in this camera 23, not only the inner bottom surface, the inner side surface, and the upper surface of the flange portion 15 of the cup 12, but also the lower portion of the flange portion 15 that is a dead corner of the camera 23 is usually used. The area between the front surface and the inner peripheral surface of the body portion 14 is imaged through each mirror 24. In this case, when the agglomeration of the ink 17 exists between the lower surface of the flange portion 15 and the inner peripheral surface of the main body portion 14 in the cup 12, as shown in FIG. Agglomeration of the ink 17 is reflected on the mirror 24 in the block area.

又,於圖3雖然在實物的杯具12的畫像中包含油墨17的結塊的一部分,但有時於實物的杯具12的畫像中完全不含有油墨17的結塊,而只在映於鏡子24的杯具12的像的畫像中含有油墨17的結塊。不論是哪一種情形,都藉由控制部20,根據由照相機23所攝像的畫像來判定杯具12的檢查的良否,其判定結果會顯示於顯示部31。In FIG. 3, although the image of the actual cup 12 includes a part of the cake of the ink 17, the image of the actual cup 12 may not include the cake of the ink 17 at all, and only The image of the image of the cup 12 of the mirror 24 contains the cake of the ink 17. In either case, the control unit 20 determines whether the inspection of the cup 12 is good or not based on the image captured by the camera 23, and the determination result is displayed on the display unit 31.

如根據以上詳述的實施型態可發揮如下般的效果。According to the embodiment described in detail above, the following effects can be exhibited.

(1)於杯具檢查裝置11中,各鏡子24是配置在可藉由照相機23進行攝像的攝像區域R內且不妨礙照明部22對杯具12進行照明的位置上,且照相機23是將杯具12和映於各鏡子24的杯具12的像作為一個畫像一次性攝像。因此,由於藉由照明部22杯具12充分地被照明,可藉由照相機23一次性攝出明亮的畫像。因此,可將杯具12一次性從複數個方向精度佳地檢查。又,由於是將杯具12和映於各鏡子24的杯具12的像作為1個畫像一次性攝像,可進行迅速的檢查。(1) In the cup inspection device 11, each mirror 24 is disposed in a position where the camera 23 can capture an image, and does not prevent the illumination unit 22 from illuminating the cup 12. The images of the cups 12 and the cups 12 reflected in the respective mirrors 24 are captured as one portrait at a time. Therefore, since the cup 12 is sufficiently illuminated by the illumination section 22, a bright image can be taken by the camera 23 at one time. Therefore, the cup 12 can be inspected with accuracy from a plurality of directions at one time. In addition, since the image of the cup 12 and the cup 12 reflected on each mirror 24 are taken as one image at a time, the inspection can be performed quickly.

(2)於杯具檢查裝置11中,照明部22,是形成為圓環狀,並配置成從第1方向觀看圍繞照相機23。因此,可藉由照明部22有效地將被照相機23所攝像的杯具12進行照明。(2) In the cup inspection apparatus 11, the illumination portion 22 is formed in a ring shape, and is arranged to surround the camera 23 when viewed from the first direction. Therefore, the cup 12 which is imaged by the camera 23 can be effectively illuminated by the illumination section 22.

(3)於杯具檢查裝置11中,4個鏡子24,是配置成從第1方向觀看圍繞杯具12。因此,無法藉由照相機23直接攝像的杯具12中的凸緣部15的下表面和本體部14的內周面之間的區域,可藉由照相機23透過4個鏡子24間接地進行攝像。(3) In the cup inspection apparatus 11, the four mirrors 24 are arranged so as to surround the cup 12 when viewed from the first direction. Therefore, the area between the lower surface of the flange portion 15 and the inner peripheral surface of the main body portion 14 in the cup 12 that cannot be imaged directly by the camera 23 can be indirectly imaged by the camera 23 through the four mirrors 24.

(4)於杯具檢查裝置11中,各鏡子24,是配置成在第1方向上比杯具12更靠近照相機23側的位置。因此,在一面將複數個杯具12以帶式輸送機13連續地進行搬運的同時一面將此等杯具12依序以照相機23進行攝像時,能夠不被各鏡子24妨礙各杯具12的搬運。(4) In the cup inspection device 11, each mirror 24 is disposed closer to the camera 23 side than the cup 12 in the first direction. Therefore, when the plurality of cups 12 are continuously conveyed by the belt conveyor 13 while the cups 12 are sequentially imaged by the camera 23, the mirrors 24 can be prevented from obstructing the cups 12. Moving.

(5)於杯具檢查裝置11中,照明部22,是具備:光源27、以及將來自於光源27的光予以反射並照射於杯具12的反射面28。因此,由於可藉由來自於光源27的光對杯具12間接地進行照明,就算杯具12是由比較容易反射光的合成樹脂所構成,也可抑制在藉由照相機23將杯具12進行攝像的畫像上產生光暈。(5) In the cup inspection device 11, the illuminating unit 22 includes a light source 27 and a reflection surface 28 that reflects light from the light source 27 and irradiates the cup 12. Therefore, since the cup 12 can be indirectly illuminated by the light from the light source 27, even if the cup 12 is made of a synthetic resin that reflects light relatively easily, the cup 12 can be suppressed from being carried by the camera 23. A halo appears on the captured image.
