Therefore, it is possible to reduce the reflection of the inspection light on the holding surface 71a, suppress the adverse effect on the imaging device 8a, and prevent the inspection accuracy from being lowered.
- the present invention is not limited to this, and the light emitting unit 21a as in the first embodiment may be used.
- the light source 60 is configured to be constantly lit during the inspection period, but a control device 41A that performs switching control for switching between lighting and extinguishing may be connected.
- the control device 41A performs switching control so that the light source 60 is turned on when the suction head 50 reaches the irradiation position of the light source 60, and the light source 60 is turned off when the suction head 50 is not located at the irradiation position.
- you may provide a reflection member in the inside of the holder 32a similarly to the form mentioned above.
- the reflecting member may be fixed to the light emitting unit 53 and installed.
- the light guide means (acrylic member 52) of the lighting device 51 is supported by the first support portion 22 so as not to rotate with the rotation of the holding portion 32. You may comprise so that it may rotate with the holding
- the light guiding means (acrylic member 52) may be fixed to the holding portion 32.
- the cross section of the lower end part 52b is cut so that it may become parallel to the orthogonal
- the lower end part 52b may be comprised by another shape.
- the cross section of the lower end 52b may be cut obliquely with respect to the axis AX2.
- the lower end 52b may be cut into a V shape or may be cut into a conical shape with a convex center. Appropriate changes are possible.

Abstract
Description
図1は、本発明の第1の形態に係る容器の検査装置の平面図である。検査装置1は、容器としてのプリフォーム100の外観を検査する。図5は、プリフォーム100の全体図である。プリフォーム100には、口部101と、首部102と、胴部103が設けられている。口部101の側面には、らせん状の溝部101aが設けられている。また、口部101の上端には、開口部101bが設けられている。首部102には、鍔102aが設けられている。胴部103には、球面状の底部103aが設けられている。
上述の形態において、照明装置21が、発光部21aにケーブル21dを配線して構成された例で説明したがこれに限られない。例えば、照明装置として光源からアクリル部材を介してホルダ32aの内部を照射してもよい。図6は第2の形態に係る検査装置1Aのメインロータ装置3Aの正面図で、図7は第2の形態に係る検査装置1Aの吸着ヘッド50の拡大図である。第2の形態において、吸着ヘッド50以外の構成部材は第1の形態の構成部材と同様であるので、同一の参照符号を付して説明を省略する。吸着ヘッド50には、軸線AX2に沿って設けられる第1シャフト50aと、第1シャフト50aと同軸に設けられ、第1シャフト50aに対して回転自在に設けられる第2シャフト14bとを備えている。第1シャフト50aには、光源60からの光を導いて、ホルダ32aの内部を照射するアクリル部材52と、第1支持部22とが設けられている。なお、第2シャフト14b及び第1支持部22については、上述した形態と同様の構成であるので同一の参照符号を付して説明を省略している。
第1及び第2の形態において、保持部32のプリフォーム100を保持する平坦な保持面に検査光の反射を防止する表面処理をしてもよい。図8は、第3の形態に係る検査装置1Bの口部検査装置10Bの概略図である。なお、第3の形態において、第1及び第2の形態と同様の構成部材は、同一の参照符号を付して説明を省略する。
