The holder (not shown) may support the top portion of the container V seated on the seating piece 120. The holder (not shown) may be elevated in the height direction of the main body 100 through a separate lifting device (not shown) to selectively support the top of the container (V).
특히, 스핀유닛(140)은 제 4 검사모듈(240)의 검사를 위해, 안착편(120)을 스핀시킬 수 있다. 이를 위해, 스핀유닛(140)은 래크편(141), 피니언기어(142) 및 스핀모터(143)를 포함할 수 있다. In particular, the spin unit 140 may spin the mounting piece 120 to inspect the fourth inspection module 240. To this end, the spin unit 140 may include a rack piece 141, pinion gear 142 and the spin motor 143.
예를 들어, 래크편(141)은 본체(100)의 길이방향으로 이동 가능하게 본체(100)에 설치될 수 있고, 래크편(141)의 측부에는 안착편(120)의 측부에 맞물리는 래크기어가 마련될 수 있다. 피니언기어(142)는 래크편(141)의 래크기어와 맞물림(치합)이 가능한 기어로, 피니언기어(142)의 중심축은 스핀모터(143)의 구동축에 연결될 수 있다. 스핀모터(143)는 피니언기어(142)와 구동연결되어, 피니언기어(142)를 회전시키기 위한 회전력을 피니언기어(142)에 제공할 수 있다.For example, the rack piece 141 may be installed on the main body 100 so as to be movable in the longitudinal direction of the main body 100, and the rack piece 141 may engage the side of the seating piece 120 on the side of the rack piece 141. The size word may be provided. The pinion gear 142 is a gear that can be engaged with the rack gear of the rack piece 141, and the central axis of the pinion gear 142 may be connected to the drive shaft of the spin motor 143. The spin motor 143 may be connected to the pinion gear 142 to provide the pinion gear 142 with a rotational force for rotating the pinion gear 142.
이에 따라, 컨트롤러(500)에 의해 스핀모터(143)가 작동되면, 스핀모터(143)의 구동력이 피니언기어(142)를 통해, 래크편(141)의 래크기어에 전달될 수 있고, 래크편(141)이 스핀모터(143)의 구동력에 의해 본체(100)의 길이방향을 따라 이동하게 되면, 안착편(120)이 래크편(141)의 이동에 따라 스핀되면서, 용기(V)는 안착편(120)의 스핀에 의해 회전될 수 있다. 결국, 안착편(120)의 회전에 의해, 용기(V)의 일면 또는 타면은 제 4 검사모듈(240)의 검사기를 향하도록 번갈아 가며 위치될 수 있다.Accordingly, when the spin motor 143 is operated by the controller 500, the driving force of the spin motor 143 may be transmitted to the rack gear of the rack piece 141 through the pinion gear 142. When the rack piece 141 is moved along the longitudinal direction of the main body 100 by the driving force of the spin motor 143, the seating piece 120 is spun in accordance with the movement of the rack piece 141, the container (V) It may be rotated by the spin of the mounting piece 120. As a result, by the rotation of the mounting piece 120, one side or the other side of the container (V) may be alternately positioned to face the tester of the fourth inspection module 240.
본체(100)에는 컨베이어(110)를 통해 이동하는 용기(V)를 일시 정지 및 정렬시키기 위한 제 1 스토퍼(151), 제 2 스토퍼(152) 및 위치센서(160)가 마련될 수 있다. The main body 100 may be provided with a first stopper 151, a second stopper 152, and a position sensor 160 for temporarily stopping and aligning the container V moving through the conveyor 110.

In more detail, the first stopper 151 may be installed at one end of the second conveyor 112 to selectively block entry of the container V to the second conveyor 112. The second stopper 152 may be installed at the other end of the second conveyor 112 to prevent the discharge of the container V. FIG. In addition, the position sensor 160 is installed at one end of the second conveyor 112 and senses the container V entering the second conveyor 112, or is positioned at the other end of the second conveyor 112. The container V discharged from the conveyor 112 may be sensed. The sensing signal of the container V detected through the position sensor 160 may be transmitted to the controller 500.
이로써, 컨트롤러(500)가 용기(V)의 감지신호를 위치센서(160)로부터 전송받은 후, 제 2 컨베이어(112) 내 진입한 용기(V)의 개수가 기 설정된 용기(V)의 적정 개수를 초과할 것으로 판단하면, 컨트롤러(500)는 제 2 컨베이어(112) 내 용기(V)의 진입을 차단하기 위한 작동 신호를 제 1 스토퍼(151) 및 제 2 스토퍼(152)에 전송할 수 있고, 제 1 스토퍼(151)는 컨트롤러(500)의 작동 신호에 따라, 제 2 컨베이어(112)로 진입하는 용기(V)의 이동 경로를 차단할 수 있다. Thus, after the controller 500 receives the detection signal of the container V from the position sensor 160, the number of the containers V entered in the second conveyor 112 is an appropriate number of the containers V preset. If determined to exceed, the controller 500 may transmit an operation signal for blocking the entry of the container (V) in the second conveyor 112 to the first stopper 151 and the second stopper 152, The first stopper 151 may block the movement path of the container V entering the second conveyor 112 according to the operation signal of the controller 500.

FIG. In the state, the head of the container V is fixed using air negative pressure. When the container V is fixed to the first gripper 310, the first gripper 310 is moved upward by the first vertical loader 320 and then the first horizontal loader 330. By this, it can be moved to the point where the third inspection module 230 is located.
이후, 용기(V)는 제 1 수평 로더(330)에 의해, 제 4 검사모듈(240)이 위치한 지점, 보다 자세하게 안착편(120)이 위치한 지점으로 이동될 수 있다. 제 1 그립퍼(310)가 안착편(120)이 위치한 지점으로 이동되면, 제 1 그립퍼(310)는 용기(V)를 안착편(120)에 안착시킨 후, 원래 위치로 복귀될 수 있다. 제 4 검사모듈(240)에 의한 용기(V)의 사이드부 검사가 완료되면, 용기(V)는 제 2 그립퍼 유닛(400)에 의해 제 3 컨베이어(113) 또는 제 4 컨베이어(114)로 이동될 수 있다.Thereafter, the container V may be moved to the point where the fourth inspection module 240 is positioned by the first horizontal loader 330, and the seating piece 120 is located in more detail. When the first gripper 310 is moved to the position where the seating piece 120 is positioned, the first gripper 310 may return to the original position after seating the container V on the seating piece 120. When the side part inspection of the container V by the fourth inspection module 240 is completed, the container V is moved to the third conveyor 113 or the fourth conveyor 114 by the second gripper unit 400.

제 2 그립퍼 유닛(400)은 안착편(120)에 위치한 용기(V)를 파지하여, 컨트롤러(500)에 의해 판단된 불량 여부에 따라 용기(V)를 선별할 수 있다.The second gripper unit 400 may grasp the container V positioned on the seating piece 120, and select the container V according to whether the controller V is determined to be defective.
이를 위해, 제 2 그립퍼 유닛(400)은 용기(V)의 머리부를 파지가능한 클램프 구조로 제공되는 제 2 그립퍼(410)와, 제 2 그립퍼(410)를 본체(100)의 폭방향으로 이송시키기 위해, 슬라이딩 레일 구조로 제공되는 폭방향 로더(420)와, 수직레일 구조로 제공되어 폭방향 로더(420)를 본체(100)의 높이방향으로 이송시키는 제 2 수직 로더(430)와, 수평레일 구조로 제공되어 제 2 수직 로더(430)를 본체(100)의 길이방향으로 이송시키는 제 2 수평 로더(440)로 구성될 수 있다.To this end, the second gripper unit 400 transfers the second gripper 410 and the second gripper 410 in the width direction of the main body 100 provided with a clamp structure capable of holding the head of the container V. To this end, a width direction loader 420 provided in a sliding rail structure, a second vertical loader 430 provided in a vertical rail structure to convey the width direction loader 420 in the height direction of the main body 100, and a horizontal rail It may be configured as a second horizontal loader 440 is provided in a structure to transfer the second vertical loader 430 in the longitudinal direction of the main body 100.
이에 따라, 제 4 검사모듈(240)에 의한 용기(V)의 사이드부 검사가 완료되면, 제 2 그립퍼(410)는 용기(V)의 머리부를 고정한 상태에서. 제 2 수직 로더(430)에 의해 본체(100)의 상방향으로 이동한 후, 제 2 수평 로더(440)에 의해, 제 3 컨베이어(113) 및 제 4 컨베이어(114)가 위치한 지점으로 이동될 수 있다. Accordingly, when the side portion inspection of the container (V) by the fourth inspection module 240 is completed, the second gripper (410) in a state of fixing the head of the container (V). After moving upwardly of the main body 100 by the second vertical loader 430, the second horizontal loader 440 moves to the point where the third conveyor 113 and the fourth conveyor 114 are located. Can be.
그리고 제 1 그립퍼(310)가 제 3 컨베이어(113) 및 제 4 컨베이어(114)가 위치한 지점으로 이동되면, 폭방향 로더(420)는 컨트롤러(500)에서 정상으로 판단된 정상 용기(V')를 제 3 컨베이어(113)로 이동시키고, 컨트롤러(500)에서 불량으로 판단된 불량 용기(V")를 제 4 컨베이어(114)로 이동시킨다. 이후, 정상 용기(V')는 제 3 컨베이어(113)를 통해 본체(100)의 외부로 이동될 수 있고, 불량 용기(V")는 제 4 컨베이어(114)를 통해 본체(100)의 외부로 이동될 수 있다.When the first gripper 310 is moved to the position where the third conveyor 113 and the fourth conveyor 114 are positioned, the width direction loader 420 is the normal container V ′ determined as normal by the controller 500. Is moved to the third conveyor 113, and the defective container V "determined as defective in the controller 500 is moved to the fourth conveyor 114. Thereafter, the normal container V 'is moved to the third conveyor ( The container 100 may be moved to the outside of the main body 100 through the 113, and the defective container V ″ may be moved to the outside of the main body 100 through the fourth conveyor 114.
도 5에서 보듯이, 컨트롤러(500)는 제 1 검사모듈(210) 내지 제 4 검사모듈(240)에 의한 검사결과에 따라, 용기(V)의 불량 여부를 판별할 수 있다. 예를 들어, 컨트롤러(500)는 제 1 검사모듈(210) 내지 제 4 검사모듈(240)로부터 전송된 용기(V)의 이미지 신호를 분석하여, 용기(V)의 액세서리, 탑부, 바닥부, 사이드부에 대한 불량(일 예로, 오염물, 이물질, 상처(스크래치), 오염...)여부에 대해 판단할 수 있다. 이때, 용기(V)가 정상 또는 불량으로 판단되면, 컨트롤러(500)는 제 2 그립퍼 유닛(400)에 작동신호를 전송하여, 정상으로 판단된 정상 용기(V')를 제 3 컨베이어(113)로 이동시키거나, 불량으로 판단된 불량 용기(V")를 제 4 컨베이어(114)로 이동시킬 수 있다. As shown in FIG. 5, the controller 500 may determine whether the container V is defective according to the inspection result by the first inspection module 210 to the fourth inspection module 240. For example, the controller 500 analyzes an image signal of the container V transmitted from the first inspection module 210 to the fourth inspection module 240, and thus the accessory, the top, the bottom, Defects (eg, contaminants, foreign objects, scratches, scratches, etc.) on the side parts may be determined. At this time, if the container V is determined to be normal or bad, the controller 500 transmits an operation signal to the second gripper unit 400, and thus the third conveyor 113 determines the normal container V ′ determined to be normal. Or the defective container V ″, which is determined to be defective, may be moved to the fourth conveyor 114.
아울러, 컨트롤러(500)는 제 2 컨베이어(112) 내 용기(V)의 적정 개수를 판단하여, 제 2 컨베이어(112)로 진입 또는 배출되는 용기(V)의 개수를 제어할 수 있다. 예를 들어, 컨트롤러(500)는 용기(V)의 감지신호를 위치센서(160)로부터 전송받은 후, 제 2 컨베이어(112) 내 진입한 용기(V)의 개수가 기 설정된 용기(V)의 적정 개수를 초과할 것으로 판단하면, 컨트롤러(500)는 제 2 컨베이어(112) 내 용기(V)의 진입을 차단하기 위한 작동 신호를 제 1 스토퍼(151) 및 제 2 스토퍼(152)에 전송할 수 있다.In addition, the controller 500 may determine the proper number of containers V in the second conveyor 112 and control the number of containers V entering or exiting the second conveyor 112. For example, the controller 500 receives the detection signal of the container V from the position sensor 160, and then the number of the containers V entered in the second conveyor 112 is set in the preset container V. If it is determined that the proper number is exceeded, the controller 500 may transmit an operation signal for blocking entry of the container V in the second conveyor 112 to the first stopper 151 and the second stopper 152. have.
이외에도, 컨트롤러(500)는 용기(V)의 검사에 필요한 주요 구성(부품) 들을 전체적으로 제어할 수 있다. 일 예로, 용기(V)가 안착편(120)에 안착되면, 컨트롤러(500)는 스핀모터(143)에 작동신호를 전송함으로써, 안착편(120)의 스핀에 의해 용기(V)를 회전될 수 있고, 이와 동시에, 제 4 검사모듈(240)을 통해, 용기(V)의 사이드부에 대한 검사를 진행할 수 있다.In addition, the controller 500 may control the main components (parts) necessary for the inspection of the container V as a whole. For example, when the container V is seated on the seating piece 120, the controller 500 transmits an operation signal to the spin motor 143 to rotate the container V by the spin of the seating piece 120. And, at the same time, through the fourth inspection module 240, the side portion of the container (V) can be inspected.

Can be moved. At this time, entry of the container V to the second conveyor 112 may be selectively restricted by the first stopper 151. For example, if it is determined by the controller 500 that the number of containers V entered in the second conveyor 112 exceeds an appropriate number of the preset containers V, the controller 500 may determine the second conveyor. An operation signal for blocking entry of the container V in the 112 may be transmitted to the first stopper 151.
제 2 컨베이어(112) 내 적정 개수의 용기(V)가 진입되면, 용기(V)는 제 1 그립퍼 유닛(300)에 의해 제 3 검사모듈(230) 및 제 4 검사모듈(240)로 이동될 수 있다. 용기(V)가 제 3 검사모듈(230)에 위치되면, 제 3 검사모듈(230)은 용기(V)의 바닥부에 대한 이상 여부를 검사할 수 있고, 용기(V)가 제 4 검사모듈(240)에 위치되면, 제 4 검사모듈(240)은 용기(V)의 사이드부에 대한 이상 여부를 검사할 수 있다.When the proper number of containers V in the second conveyor 112 enters, the containers V are moved to the third inspection module 230 and the fourth inspection module 240 by the first gripper unit 300. Can be. When the container V is located in the third inspection module 230, the third inspection module 230 may inspect whether there is an abnormality with the bottom of the container V, and the container V may have a fourth inspection module. When positioned at 240, the fourth inspection module 240 may inspect the side portion of the container V for abnormality.
제 3 검사모듈(230) 및 제 4 검사모듈(240)에 의해 용기(V)의 바닥부 및 사이드부에 대한 검사가 완료되면, 용기(V)는 제 2 그립퍼 유닛(400)에 의해 제 3 컨베이어(113) 또는 제 4 컨베이어(114)로 이동될 수 있다. When the inspection of the bottom and side portions of the container V is completed by the third inspection module 230 and the fourth inspection module 240, the container V is connected to the third gripper unit 400 by a third gripper unit 400. It may be moved to the conveyor 113 or the fourth conveyor 114.

For example, when the controller 500 determines that the container V is the normal container V ′, the second gripper unit 400 determines the normal container V ′ determined to be normal. The third conveyor 113 may be moved. On the other hand, when the controller 500 determines that the container V is the defective container V ″, the second gripper unit 400 removes the defective container V ″ determined to be defective. 4 can be moved to the conveyor (114).
