Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for controlling a glass container, comprising counting, measuring and classifying bubbles formed in the wall of said container.
- a glass container comprising counting, measuring and classifying bubbles formed in the wall of said container.
- the invention will be more particularly described with reference to the control of a glass bottle.
- Such control operated regularly during the manufacture of the bottles is important. First of all, it makes it possible to eliminate the bottles which have too large a number of bubbles of a given size which penalize the aesthetics of the article as well as its mechanical resistance. Then, the knowledge of such defects makes it possible in particular to regulate the control parameters of the molten glass and thus to improve the refining of the furnace. Most often, this control operation is carried out by an operator who randomly collects containers, and counts the bubbles by classifying them according to different categories of dimension.
- the object of the invention is to provide such a method of controlling a glass container leading to precise results and which can be carried out quickly and as often as the manufacturing manager so desires.
- This object is achieved according to the invention by a method of controlling a glass container consisting of counting and classifying bubbles formed in the wall of the container; according to this method, an image of said container is captured with a sensor sensitive to light waves passing through the container, said container being placed between a light source and the sensor, then the captured image is analyzed by an image processing algorithm based on the identification of a bubble by the light intensity which characterizes it.
- a relative movement is created between the glass container and the light source system - sensor, in rotation and / or according to one to three linear dimensions.
- the method according to the invention allows more precise control since the examination may relate to a large part of the wall of the container; no extrapolation is involved in the measurement.
- Obtaining the complete image of the container is obtained, for example, in the case of a cylindrical bottle and of symmetry of revolution, thanks in particular to the rotational movements and to the vertical movement of the bottle relative to the sensor-source system. from light.
- the complete image is also obtained by the relative displacement of the container in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the axis formed by the light source.
- the captured image can be captured quickly, in particular because it can be analyzed by an image processing algorithm based on the identification of a bubble by the light intensity which characterizes it.
- the inventors have in particular been able to demonstrate that the light received by the sensor in transmission through the container allows the sensor to properly visualize the bubbles due to the contrast which is linked to them.
- the invention advantageously provides for focusing of the sensor at the center of the wall of the container which faces it. Since this thickness is most often not regular, the focusing is based on the set value, that is to say the thickness which it is desired to obtain. Such a focus
- REPLACEMENT SHEET (RULE 26) can, for example, be obtained by a relative displacement of the sensor relative to the container in a direction parallel to the axis passing through the light source and the sensor.
- the invention advantageously provides for taking into account the shade of glass constituting the container.
- a preliminary step consists in capturing images with different exposure times and choosing the one leading to the greatest contrast.
- the method according to the invention therefore improves the results obtained according to the prior techniques and can be adapted to a large number of glass containers, covering a wide range of shapes and colors.
- the inventors propose variants of the invention according to which the precision can be further improved, in particular by reducing the contrast of the bubbles on the captured image.
- the dimensions and the position of the light source are defined to attenuate the contrast of the image. According to this embodiment, it is thus possible to greatly attenuate the surface contrasts due, for example, to surface irregularities, dust, etc., while retaining sufficient contrast for the bubbles.
- the depth of field of the sensor is adjusted to eliminate from the image the objects or defects of the wall of the container directly facing the light source, and attenuate the surface contrasts of the wall facing the sensor.
- the gain of the sensor is chosen to be low to contribute to a decrease in the contrast of the captured image. It turns out that according to one or more of the embodiments mentioned above, an image captured with a reduced contrast improves detection and bubble recognition, in particular due to the absence of a large number of surface defects on the image
- the image of the container is captured, in the form of partial images, in several stages linked to the relative displacement between the container and the light source system - sensor, said displacement ensuring complete visualization of the container by the sensor.
- partial image captured from the container is then divided into elementary zones.
- the elementary areas whose histogram has at least two peaks are selected before processing by the image processing algorithm
- the histogram of an elementary area is the representation of said area in the form of a diagram which associates with each shade, or more exactly each level of "gray" of a monochrome image, the number of pixels corresponding to it
- Each elementary area has at least one peak corresponding to the background of the image, that is to say in particular the image obtained due to the thickness of the wall of the container
- the presence of a second peak is in particular characteristic of the presence of a bubble
- the pixels corresponding to the elementary areas of which the histogram has only one peak will only be read once
- the invention therefore authorizes a more precise and faster analysis than the prior techniques and more particularly, that the analysis carried out by an operator It allows in particular to carry out this control of container as often as desired and therefore several times in the same day, this results in a more precise adjustment of the refining of the molten glass in the oven before its use
- the contacts with the container are very limited the invention thus allows i, unlike in the case of a control by an operator, to carry out said control immediately after manufacture, that is to say as soon as it leaves the mold.
- the controls are usually carried out after the steps of annealing the container, the delay of the control in relation to the period of refining of the glass in the oven is, in this case, io considerable
- the control of the container being carried out more quickly, the regulation of the oven is thereby improved, the risks of drift of the parameters of the oven being much more limited.
- results in the form of an i ⁇ number of bubbles of given size per kilogram of controlled glass. This result is usually given after calculation of the number of bubbles by relating it to the mass of the container. To do this, knowing the density of the glass, we obtain its mass by calculating its volume from the external dimensions of the container and its average thickness This calculation remains approximate
- An advantageous variant of the invention provides for a thickness measurement of the wall of the container on each part of said wall corresponding to the partial images. It is then possible to perform a more accurate calculation. Such a thickness measurement can in particular be carried out by the technique described in the
- the invention also provides a device for implementing the method described above
- FIG. 30 represents a diagram of an example of a device for implementing the invention, for checking a bottle
- FIG. 3 a simplified diagram of an example of a device.
- This consists of a metal frame 1 ensuring the support and the displacement of the bottle 2
- This displacement can be carried out, on the one hand in a vertical direction indicated by arrow 3, on the other hand in a horizontal direction indicated by arrow 4, and finally in a rotational movement indicated by arrow 5
- the combination of these three movements allows the sensor, or camera, 6 to capture a complete image of the bottle 2, the latter remaining in a fixed position
- the horizontal displacement according to arrow 4 is in particular used in the case of a bottle having a flat face, the length of which requires such displacement so that its image is fully captured
- the camera 6 is supported by a device 7 which can be moved in the horizontal direction indicated by the arrow 8 This movement allows, according to this embodiment, to focus the camera Positioned on the other side, is the source
- the inventors have shown that the image obtained by transmission lighting makes it possible to better visualize the bubbles than with another type of lighting, in particular in reflection.
- the light source is, for example, rectangular and uniform.
- the camera 6 automatically adjusts the exposure time as a function of the color of the bottle, by successive shots with different exposure times
- the camera 6 is then brought into focus, for example, by moving it in the direction indicated by the arrow 8 This is done automatically at the heart of the wall facing the camera 6, the thickness and position of the bottle being known. Knowing the diameter and the thickness of the bottle 2, the depth of field is then adjusted as explained above to decrease the contrast of the image.
- the position and the size of the light source 9 and the gain s of the camera 6 have been provided to reduce the contrast of the image.
- the movements of the bottle 2 and the shots are controlled by software.
- the light source is an indirect source consisting of a fluorescent tube supplied by a high frequency ballast (40 Khz).
- the tube is placed at the bottom of a curved sleeve to provide indirect lighting which is comforted by the use of a frosted finish at the outlet of the sleeve.
- the uniform illumination thus on a rectangular window is stabilized over time.
- the camera used is of the monochrome matrix type with a 5 focal 50 mm lens.
- the invention also provides other variants making it possible to adapt it to any type of container.
- a progressive displacement of the camera that is to say say that the position of the camera, or more precisely the focus of the camera, is controlled by the height of the analyzed area of the bottle.
- the position of the camera is controlled by the movement, for example, in rotation of the bottle.
- the invention also provides for the control of a bottle showing a mark without this disturbing the analysis; for this purpose, it provides, from a reference, mechanical or optical, integral with the bottle, to establish an optical mask of the area comprising the mark so as not to control it.
- the invention thus described therefore allows a control of any type of container to determine the presence of bubbles and classify these bubbles by size, precisely and quickly. It thus makes it possible to repeat the control frequently and to optimize the refining area of the glass in the oven.
