Description

光学特性測定装置および測定装置置台Optical characteristic measuring device and measuring device table
 本発明は、例えば色、光沢などの所定の光学特性を測定する光学特性測定装置および測定装置置台に関する。 The present invention relates to an optical property measuring device and a measuring device mounting table for measuring predetermined optical properties such as color and gloss.
 従来から、色、光沢などの所定の光学特性を測定する光学特性測定装置は知られており、例えば特許文献1に、光学特性測定装置が開示されている。この特許文献1に開示された光学特性測定装置は、測定開口を有し、所定のジオメトリの光学系を用いることによって前記測定開口に臨む測定対象における光沢を測定する光学測定部を有する測定装置本体と、光沢の校正に用いられる校正基準部材とを備えたものである。校正基準部材は、校正基準板と、一端側を開口し、校正基準板を収納した保護カバー部とから構成されている。そして、測定対象の光沢測定に際し、まず、保護カバー部に一端側から校正基準板を収納して保護カバー部と校正基準板とが係止されることによって、保護カバー部に収納した校正基準板が測定装置本体の測定開口の周部の全周に当接して測定開口全体を覆う状態にされる。そして、その状態で、光学測定部によって校正基準板の光沢値が測定されて光沢基準値とされ、その光沢基準値に基いて測定対象の光沢度が算出される。 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an optical characteristic measuring apparatus that measures predetermined optical characteristics such as color and gloss is known. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses an optical characteristic measuring apparatus. The optical characteristic measuring apparatus disclosed in Patent Document 1 has a measurement aperture and has an optical measurement unit that measures the gloss of a measurement object facing the measurement aperture by using an optical system having a predetermined geometry. And a calibration reference member used for gloss calibration. The calibration reference member includes a calibration reference plate and a protective cover portion that opens at one end side and stores the calibration reference plate. When measuring the gloss of the measurement object, first, the calibration reference plate is stored in the protective cover portion by storing the calibration reference plate from one end in the protective cover portion and locking the protective cover portion and the calibration reference plate. Is in contact with the entire circumference of the circumference of the measurement opening of the measurement apparatus main body so as to cover the entire measurement opening. In this state, the gloss value of the calibration reference plate is measured by the optical measurement unit to obtain the gloss reference value, and the gloss level of the measurement target is calculated based on the gloss reference value.
 ところで、前記特許文献1では、保護カバー部と測定装置本体とが完全に係止状態にならない状態で、光学測定部によって校正基準板の光沢値が測定される場合も起こり得る。保護カバー部と測定装置本体とが完全に係止状態にならない場合では、校正基準板が測定装置本体に対する所定の姿勢位置から傾いて測定装置本体における測定開口の周部の一部とのみ当接して校正基準板と測定装置本体の測定開口の周部との間に隙間が生じた状態になり、校正基準板の光沢値にバラツキが生じる虞がある。したがって、前記特許文献1では、校正基準板の光沢値が変動してしまい、再現性が低く、校正の精度が低くなる虞があり、その結果、測定対象の光沢度の精度が低くなってしまう。 By the way, in Patent Document 1, the gloss value of the calibration reference plate may be measured by the optical measurement unit in a state where the protective cover unit and the measurement apparatus main body are not completely locked. When the protective cover part and the measuring apparatus main body are not completely locked, the calibration reference plate is tilted from a predetermined posture position with respect to the measuring apparatus main body and abuts only on a part of the peripheral portion of the measurement opening in the measuring apparatus main body. As a result, a gap is generated between the calibration reference plate and the peripheral portion of the measurement opening of the measuring apparatus main body, which may cause variations in the gloss value of the calibration reference plate. Therefore, in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, the gloss value of the calibration reference plate fluctuates, there is a risk that the reproducibility is low and the accuracy of calibration is lowered, and as a result, the accuracy of the glossiness of the measurement object is lowered. .

And a pressing mechanism 33 for pressing 32.
 測定開口形成部材嵌挿部31は、置台ハウジング21の上壁211に、測定開口形成部材127を嵌挿できるように、測定開口形成部材127と略同径で、所定の深さで形成される。 The measurement opening forming member insertion portion 31 is formed with a predetermined depth and substantially the same diameter as the measurement opening forming member 127 so that the measurement opening forming member 127 can be inserted into the upper wall 211 of the mounting housing 21. .
 校正基準部材32は、光沢校正用の円板状の校正基準板321aと、校正基準板321aを保持する保持部材322とを備えている。 The calibration reference member 32 includes a disk-shaped calibration reference plate 321a for gloss calibration and a holding member 322 for holding the calibration reference plate 321a.
 校正基準板321aは、測定開口形成部材127の測定開口130よりも径が大きく、測定開口形成部材127の測定開口130の周縁全体に当接可能な大きさの部材である。 The calibration reference plate 321a is a member having a diameter larger than that of the measurement opening 130 of the measurement opening forming member 127 and a size capable of contacting the entire periphery of the measurement opening 130 of the measurement opening forming member 127.
 保持部材322は、その上部側に校正基準板321aを保持する基準板保持部323を備える。この基準板保持部323は、校正基準板321aを下方側から受ける受け板324と、受け板324を囲むように受け板324の外周縁から上方に延ばされた周壁325とを備えており、基準板保持部323に保持された校正基準板321aの上面が露出するように(外部に臨むように)なっている。 The holding member 322 includes a reference plate holding portion 323 that holds the calibration reference plate 321a on the upper side thereof. The reference plate holding portion 323 includes a receiving plate 324 that receives the calibration reference plate 321a from the lower side, and a peripheral wall 325 that extends upward from the outer peripheral edge of the receiving plate 324 so as to surround the receiving plate 324. The upper surface of the calibration reference plate 321a held by the reference plate holding portion 323 is exposed (so as to face the outside).
 この周壁325の高さが、校正基準板321aの厚さよりも低く形成されており、基準板保持部323に保持された校正基準板321aが、基準板保持部323の上方に突出するようになっている。 The height of the peripheral wall 325 is formed lower than the thickness of the calibration reference plate 321a, and the calibration reference plate 321a held by the reference plate holding part 323 protrudes above the reference plate holding part 323. ing.
 保持部材322の受け板324における下面の略中心部(略中央位置)に、後述の押圧機構33の当接部334と係合する略半球状の凹部(係合部)326が形成されている。 A substantially hemispherical recess (engagement portion) 326 that engages with a contact portion 334 of a pressing mechanism 33 described later is formed at a substantially central portion (substantially central position) of the lower surface of the receiving plate 324 of the holding member 322. .
 このように構成された校正基準部材32は、校正基準板321aを保持部材322で保持した状態で、置台ハウジング21内において、測定開口形成部材嵌挿部31の下部側に、下方側から突出するとともに、測定開口形成部材嵌挿部31内を上下移動可能に配置されている。したがって、測定開口形成部材127が測定開口形成部材嵌挿部31に嵌挿されると、測定開口形成部材127と校正基準板321aの上面とが当接するようになっている。 The calibration reference member 32 configured in this manner protrudes from the lower side to the lower side of the measurement opening forming member insertion portion 31 in the mounting housing 21 with the calibration reference plate 321a held by the holding member 322. In addition, the inside of the measurement opening forming member insertion portion 31 is arranged so as to be movable up and down. Therefore, when the measurement opening forming member 127 is inserted into the measurement opening forming member insertion portion 31, the measurement opening forming member 127 and the upper surface of the calibration reference plate 321a come into contact with each other.
 校正基準部材32が置台ハウジング21内に配置された状態で、保持部材322の受け板324の凹部326は、測定開口形成部材嵌挿部31の略中心に配置され、測定開口形成部材嵌挿部31に嵌挿された測定開口形成部材127における測定開口130の略中心に位置するようになっている。 In a state where the calibration reference member 32 is disposed in the mounting housing 21, the recess 326 of the receiving plate 324 of the holding member 322 is disposed substantially at the center of the measurement opening forming member insertion portion 31, and the measurement opening forming member insertion portion The measurement opening forming member 127 inserted and inserted into 31 is positioned substantially at the center of the measurement opening 130.
 押圧機構33は、押圧板331と、押圧板331を付勢するコイルばね(付勢部材)332とを備える。 The pressing mechanism 33 includes a pressing plate 331 and a coil spring (biasing member) 332 that biases the pressing plate 331.
 押圧板331は、円板状の本体部333と、校正基準部材32の校正基準板321aに当接する当接部(被係合部)334とを備える。 The pressing plate 331 includes a disk-shaped main body 333 and a contact portion (engaged portion) 334 that contacts the calibration reference plate 321a of the calibration reference member 32.
 当接部334は、この実施形態では、本体部333の中心部に、本体部333と一体的に、本体部333から上方に突設された突出部から構成されている。この実施形態の当接部334は、円柱部の先端に、保持部材322の凹部326に嵌合して係合可能な半球面(曲面)に形成されている。 In this embodiment, the abutting portion 334 includes a projecting portion that protrudes upward from the main body portion 333 integrally with the main body portion 333 at the central portion of the main body portion 333. The contact part 334 of this embodiment is formed at the tip of the cylindrical part in a hemispherical surface (curved surface) that can be engaged with and engaged with the recess 326 of the holding member 322.
 押圧板331は、当接部334が保持部材322の凹部326に嵌合した状態で、保持部材322の下方側に配設されている。 The pressing plate 331 is disposed on the lower side of the holding member 322 in a state where the contact portion 334 is fitted in the concave portion 326 of the holding member 322.
 コイルばね332は、押圧板331の下方側に配設され、コイルばね332の上端が押圧板331の下面に係止され、コイルばね332の下端が置台ハウジング21に係止されることにより、コイルばね332は、押圧板331を上方側に付勢している。これにより、押圧板331の当接部334を介して保持部材322の略中心部が、上方に付勢されている。 The coil spring 332 is disposed on the lower side of the pressing plate 331, and the upper end of the coil spring 332 is locked to the lower surface of the pressing plate 331, and the lower end of the coil spring 332 is locked to the mounting housing 21. The spring 332 biases the pressing plate 331 upward. As a result, the substantially central portion of the holding member 322 is biased upward via the contact portion 334 of the pressing plate 331.
 上述のように測定開口形成部材127が測定開口形成部材嵌挿部31に嵌挿されると、上述のように測定開口形成部材127と校正基準板321aの上面とが当接するが、この付勢によって、その当接した校正基準板321aの上面が、測定開口形成部材127に押し付けられる。 As described above, when the measurement opening forming member 127 is inserted into the measurement opening forming member insertion portion 31, the measurement opening forming member 127 and the upper surface of the calibration reference plate 321a come into contact with each other. The upper surface of the abutting calibration reference plate 321a is pressed against the measurement aperture forming member 127.
 第2校正部3bは、色彩校正用の校正基準板321bが用いられている点で、光沢校正用の校正基準板321aが用いられている第1校正部3aと異なる。第2校正部3bにおけるそれ以外の構成は、第1校正部3aと同構成を採っている。なお、色彩校正用の校正基準板321bは、光沢校正用の校正基準板321aと同形状である。 The second calibration unit 3b is different from the first calibration unit 3a in which the calibration reference plate 321a for gloss calibration is used in that a calibration reference plate 321b for color calibration is used. The other configuration of the second calibration unit 3b is the same as that of the first calibration unit 3a. Note that the calibration reference plate 321b for color calibration has the same shape as the calibration reference plate 321a for gloss calibration.
 ゼロ校正部4は、図4に示すように、置台ハウジング21の上壁211に形成されたゼロ校正用の測定開口形成部材嵌挿部41と、そのゼロ校正用の測定開口形成部材嵌挿部41と置台ハウジング21の内部とを連通する連通孔42とを備えており、この第2測定開口形成部材嵌挿部41に測定開口形成部材127が嵌挿された状態で、測定装置本体100が所定の操作をされることで光学特性測定部をゼロ校正できるようになっている。 As shown in FIG. 4, the zero calibration unit 4 includes a zero calibration measurement opening forming member insertion portion 41 formed on the upper wall 211 of the mounting housing 21 and a zero calibration measurement opening formation member insertion portion. 41 and a communication hole 42 communicating with the inside of the mounting housing 21, and the measurement apparatus main body 100 is in a state in which the measurement opening forming member 127 is inserted into the second measurement opening forming member insertion portion 41. The optical property measuring unit can be zero-calibrated by performing a predetermined operation.
 なお、光沢校正および色彩校正を実施しない場合、図4に示すように、第1校正部3aおよび第2校正部3bそれぞれの校正基準板321a、321bは、保護カバー328が被せられ、これによって、校正基準板321a、321bに埃等の付着の防止や、校正基準板321a、321bに他のものが当たることによる損傷の防止等が可能となっている。 When gloss calibration and color calibration are not performed, the calibration reference plates 321a and 321b of the first calibration unit 3a and the second calibration unit 3b are covered with a protective cover 328 as shown in FIG. It is possible to prevent dust and the like from adhering to the calibration reference plates 321a and 321b, and to prevent damage caused by other objects hitting the calibration reference plates 321a and 321b.
 次に、この実施形態の光学特性測定装置1の校正の動作について説明する。図6は、前記測定装置置台に設けられた第1校正部に測定装置本体に設けられた測定開口形成部材を嵌挿した状態の要部の拡大断面図である。図7は、図6の状態で、第1校正部に設けられた校正基準板に光を当てた際の説明図である。図8は、比較例における校正部の校正基準板に光を当てた際の説明図である。図9は、実施形態の測定装置置台と比較例の測定装置置台とのそれぞれの校正基準板の光学特性値(光沢値)を測定したデータをグラフに表した図である。 Next, the calibration operation of the optical property measuring apparatus 1 of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 6 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a main part in a state in which a measurement opening forming member provided in the measurement apparatus main body is fitted into a first calibration part provided in the measurement apparatus mounting base. FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram when light is applied to the calibration reference plate provided in the first calibration unit in the state of FIG. FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram when light is applied to the calibration reference plate of the calibration unit in the comparative example. FIG. 9 is a graph showing data obtained by measuring the optical characteristic values (gloss values) of the calibration reference plates of the measurement device table of the embodiment and the measurement device table of the comparative example.
 光沢測定する際の校正を行う場合、ユーザは、第1校正部3aの保護カバー328を外し、図6に示すように測定装置本体100の測定開口形成部材127を測定装置置台2の測定開口形成部材嵌挿部31に嵌挿する。その際、測定開口形成部材嵌挿部31の周壁の内周が、測定開口形成部材127をガイドし、測定開口形成部材127が、円滑に測定開口形成部材嵌挿部31内に入り込む。 When performing calibration for gloss measurement, the user removes the protective cover 328 of the first calibration unit 3a, and forms the measurement opening forming member 127 of the measurement apparatus main body 100 as shown in FIG. It is inserted into the member insertion part 31. At that time, the inner periphery of the peripheral wall of the measurement opening forming member insertion portion 31 guides the measurement opening forming member 127, and the measurement opening forming member 127 smoothly enters the measurement opening forming member insertion portion 31.
 測定開口形成部材127が測定開口形成部材嵌挿部31内に入り込んでいくと、測定開口形成部材127の下面(外面)が、光沢校正用の校正基準板321aに当接し、更に、測定開口形成部材127が測定開口形成部材嵌挿部31内に押し込まれると、測定開口形成部材127が、光沢校正用の校正基準板321aをコイルばね332の付勢力に抗して押し下げた状態で嵌挿される。 When the measurement aperture forming member 127 enters the measurement aperture forming member insertion portion 31, the lower surface (outer surface) of the measurement aperture forming member 127 comes into contact with the calibration reference plate 321a for gloss calibration, and further, the measurement aperture is formed. When the member 127 is pushed into the measurement opening forming member insertion portion 31, the measurement opening forming member 127 is inserted in a state where the calibration reference plate 321 a for gloss calibration is pushed down against the biasing force of the coil spring 332. .
 したがって、測定開口形成部材127が測定開口形成部材嵌挿部31内に嵌挿された状態で、測定開口形成部材127の下面(外面)に光沢校正用の校正基準板321aがコイルばね332の付勢力によって押し付けられた状態になる。 Accordingly, the calibration reference plate 321a for gloss calibration is attached to the lower surface (outer surface) of the measurement aperture forming member 127 with the coil spring 332 attached in a state where the measurement aperture forming member 127 is inserted into the measurement aperture forming member insertion portion 31. It becomes a state pressed by the power.
 その際、コイルばね332が押圧板331の当接部334および保持部材322を介して校正基準板321aを、測定開口形成部材127における測定開口130の中心部に当たる部分で押圧するため、コイルばね332の付勢力が、測定開口形成部材127における測定開口130の周部の全体に略均等にかかる。 At that time, the coil spring 332 presses the calibration reference plate 321a through the contact portion 334 of the pressing plate 331 and the holding member 322 at a portion corresponding to the center of the measurement opening 130 in the measurement opening forming member 127. The urging force is applied to the entire circumference of the measurement opening 130 in the measurement opening forming member 127 substantially evenly.
 例えば、比較例では、図8に示すように、バネで校正基準板321aの端を押圧する場合、図8に示すように、光沢校正用の校正基準板321aが測定開口形成部材127に対して所定位置から傾いて測定開口130の周部の一部と光沢校正用の校正基準板321aとの間に隙間tが、生じ易くなる。したがって、この場合では、光沢校正用の校正基準板321aの光沢測定値にバラツキが生じる虞れがあり、光沢校正用の校正基準板321aの光沢値を正確に再現し難く、精度の高い校正を行い難い。 For example, in the comparative example, as shown in FIG. 8, when the end of the calibration reference plate 321a is pressed by a spring, the calibration reference plate 321a for gloss calibration is against the measurement aperture forming member 127 as shown in FIG. A gap t is likely to be generated between a part of the circumference of the measurement opening 130 and the calibration reference plate 321a for gloss calibration, which is inclined from a predetermined position. Therefore, in this case, there is a possibility that the gloss measurement value of the calibration reference plate 321a for gloss calibration may vary, and it is difficult to accurately reproduce the gloss value of the calibration reference plate 321a for gloss calibration, and highly accurate calibration is performed. It's hard to do.
 一方、本実施形態では、コイルばね332の付勢力が測定開口形成部材127における測定開口130の周部の全体に略均等にかかるため、図7に示すように、光沢校正用の校正基準板321aが測定開口形成部材127に対して傾くことなく、より確実に、所定位置に配置され、測定開口130の周部の全体が光沢校正用の校正基準板321aに当接し、測定開口130の周部と光沢校正用の校正基準板321aとの間に隙間が生じ難くなる。したがって、光沢校正用の校正基準板321aの光沢値にバラツキが生じる虞れが少なく、より確実に、光沢校正用の校正基準板321aの光沢値を正確に再現でき、精度の高い校正ができる。 On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the biasing force of the coil spring 332 is applied substantially uniformly to the entire circumference of the measurement opening 130 in the measurement opening forming member 127. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, a calibration reference plate 321a for gloss calibration is provided. Is more reliably disposed at a predetermined position without inclining with respect to the measurement aperture forming member 127, and the entire circumference of the measurement aperture 130 abuts against the calibration reference plate 321a for gloss calibration, and the circumference of the measurement aperture 130 And a calibration reference plate 321a for gloss calibration are hardly generated. Therefore, there is little possibility that the gloss value of the calibration reference plate 321a for gloss calibration will vary, and the gloss value of the calibration reference plate 321a for gloss calibration can be more accurately reproduced and calibration can be performed with high accuracy.
 ここで、光沢校正用の校正基準板321aの光沢値について、本実施形態の光学特性測定装置1と、図8に示す比較例とのそれぞれについて、比較試験が実施されたので、以下に説明する。 Here, a comparison test was carried out on the gloss value of the calibration reference plate 321a for gloss calibration for each of the optical characteristic measuring apparatus 1 of the present embodiment and the comparative example shown in FIG. 8, and will be described below. .
 比較試験は、本実施形態の光学特性測定装置1(本実施形態品)と、図8に示す比較例とのそれぞれについて、光沢校正用の校正基準板321aの光沢値を、その都度脱着しながら20回、測定し、それぞれの光沢値について、各1回目に測定した光沢値に対する差を求めることにより実施された。図9の横軸は、測定回数であり、その縦軸は、1回目の測定値との差である。 In the comparative test, the gloss value of the calibration reference plate 321a for gloss calibration is desorbed each time for each of the optical property measuring apparatus 1 of the present embodiment (the product of the present embodiment) and the comparative example shown in FIG. The measurement was performed 20 times, and for each gloss value, the difference from the gloss value measured at the first time was obtained. The horizontal axis in FIG. 9 is the number of measurements, and the vertical axis is the difference from the first measurement value.
 その結果は、図9に示すように、本実施形態品による光沢値の差は、比較例の場合よりもバラツキが小さくなることが確認できた。 As a result, as shown in FIG. 9, it was confirmed that the difference in gloss value between the products of this embodiment was smaller than that in the comparative example.
 色彩測定する際の校正を行う場合も、ユーザは、上述の光沢の校正の場合と同様に、第2校正部3bの保護カバー328を外し、測定装置本体100の測定開口形成部材127を測定装置置台2の測定開口形成部材嵌挿部31に嵌挿する。その場合においても、測定開口形成部材嵌挿部31の周壁の内周が、測定開口形成部材127をガイドし、測定開口形成部材127が、円滑に測定開口形成部材嵌挿部31内に入り込む。 Also in the case of performing calibration at the time of color measurement, the user removes the protective cover 328 of the second calibration unit 3b and removes the measurement opening forming member 127 of the measurement apparatus main body 100 from the measurement apparatus, as in the case of the above-described gloss calibration. The measurement opening forming member insertion portion 31 of the table 2 is inserted. Even in this case, the inner periphery of the peripheral wall of the measurement opening forming member insertion portion 31 guides the measurement opening forming member 127, and the measurement opening formation member 127 smoothly enters the measurement opening formation member insertion portion 31.
 測定開口形成部材127が測定開口形成部材嵌挿部31内に入り込んで嵌挿された状態で、測定開口形成部材127に色彩校正用の校正基準板321bがコイルばね332の付勢力によって押し付けられた状態になる。 The calibration reference plate 321b for color calibration is pressed against the measurement aperture forming member 127 by the biasing force of the coil spring 332 in a state where the measurement aperture forming member 127 is inserted into the measurement aperture forming member insertion portion 31. It becomes a state.
 その場合においても、コイルばね332が押圧板331の当接部334および保持部材322を介して校正基準板321bを、測定開口形成部材127における測定開口130の中心部に当たる部分で押圧するため、コイルばね332の付勢力が、測定開口形成部材127における測定開口130の周部の全体に略均等にかかる。これにより、色彩校正用の校正基準板321bが、測定開口形成部材127に対して傾くことなく、より確実に、所定位置に配置され、測定開口130の周部の全体が、色彩校正用の校正基準板321bに当接し、測定開口130の周部と色彩校正用の校正基準板321bとの間に隙間が、生じ難くなる。したがって、色彩校正用の校正基準板321bの色彩値にバラツキが生じる虞れが少なく、色彩校正用の校正基準板321bの色彩校正値を正確に再現でき、精度の高い校正ができる。 Even in such a case, the coil spring 332 presses the calibration reference plate 321b through the contact portion 334 of the pressing plate 331 and the holding member 322 at the portion corresponding to the center of the measurement opening 130 in the measurement opening forming member 127. The biasing force of the spring 332 is applied to the entire circumference of the measurement opening 130 in the measurement opening forming member 127 substantially evenly. Thereby, the calibration reference plate 321b for color calibration is more reliably arranged at a predetermined position without being inclined with respect to the measurement aperture forming member 127, and the entire peripheral portion of the measurement aperture 130 is calibrated for color calibration. A gap is less likely to occur between the peripheral portion of the measurement opening 130 and the calibration reference plate 321b for color calibration, in contact with the reference plate 321b. Therefore, there is little possibility of variations in the color values of the calibration reference plate 321b for color calibration, the color calibration values of the calibration reference plate 321b for color calibration can be accurately reproduced, and highly accurate calibration can be performed.
 図10は、前記測定装置置台の他の実施形態の要部の説明図である。図11は、前記測定装置に設けられた測定開口形成部材の他の実施形態の断面図である。 FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram of a main part of another embodiment of the measuring device mounting base. FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view of another embodiment of a measurement aperture forming member provided in the measurement apparatus.
 なお、上記実施形態では、保持部材322の受け板324に凹部326が設けられ、押圧板331に凹部326に嵌合する突出部からなる当接部334が設けられたが、この形態のものに限らず、例えば、図10に示すように、保持部材322aの受け板324aに、受け板324aから下方に突出する突出部326aが設けられ、押圧板331aにその突出部326aが嵌合する凹部からなる当接部334aが設けられても良く、適宜に変更できる。 In the above-described embodiment, the recess 326 is provided in the receiving plate 324 of the holding member 322, and the contact portion 334 including the protruding portion that fits into the recess 326 is provided in the pressing plate 331. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the receiving plate 324 a of the holding member 322 a is provided with a protruding portion 326 a that protrudes downward from the receiving plate 324 a and the pressing plate 331 a is fitted with the protruding portion 326 a. An abutting portion 334a may be provided and can be changed as appropriate.
 また、上記実施形態では、コイルばね332は、上端の径が下端の径よりも小さいものであったが、コイルばね332は、特に限定されず、例えば図10に示すように、例えば上端の径と下端の径とが略同じコイルばね332aであっても良い。 Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the coil spring 332 was a thing with the diameter of an upper end smaller than the diameter of a lower end, the coil spring 332 is not specifically limited, For example, as shown in FIG. The coil spring 332a may have substantially the same diameter at the lower end.
 また、測定開口形成部材127における、校正に際して校正基準板321a、321bと対向する対向面となる外面(下面)128は、平面でも良いが、図11に示すように、前記外面128は、測定開口130の少なくとも周辺領域において、測定開口130の周縁128aに向かって(径方向内側に行くに従い)漸次外方(測定開口130の開口面における法線方向に沿った内側から外側に向かう方向)に突出し、かつ、前記測定開口130の周縁128aが最も外方に突出する膨出形状またはテーパ形状に形成されても良い。このように構成することにより、測定開口形成部材127における測定開口130の周縁128a全体を、より確実に校正基準板321a、321bに当接させ易くできる。なお、測定開口形成部材127の外周端から測定開口130の周縁128aまでの突出量は、例えば数μm程度でも良く、図11では、測定開口形成部材127の外周端から測定開口130の周縁128aまでの突出量が誇張して図示されている。 In addition, the outer surface (lower surface) 128 which is a facing surface facing the calibration reference plates 321a and 321b in the calibration in the measurement aperture forming member 127 may be a flat surface. However, as shown in FIG. In at least the peripheral region of 130, it gradually protrudes outward (in the direction from the inside to the outside along the normal direction of the opening surface of the measurement opening 130) toward the peripheral edge 128 a of the measurement opening 130 (as it goes inward in the radial direction). In addition, the peripheral edge 128a of the measurement opening 130 may be formed in a bulging shape or a tapered shape that protrudes outward most. By configuring in this way, the entire periphery 128a of the measurement opening 130 in the measurement opening forming member 127 can be more reliably brought into contact with the calibration reference plates 321a and 321b. The amount of protrusion from the outer peripheral end of the measurement opening forming member 127 to the peripheral edge 128a of the measurement opening 130 may be, for example, about several μm. In FIG. 11, from the outer peripheral end of the measurement opening forming member 127 to the peripheral edge 128a of the measurement opening 130. The amount of protrusion is exaggerated.
 また、上記実施形態では、測定装置本体100は、光沢および色彩を測定できるものとされているが、例えば光沢と色彩とのいずれか一方を測定できるものであればよい。また、測定装置置台2も、光沢校正用の第1校正部3aと色彩校正用の第2校正部3bとゼロ校正部4とを備えているが、光沢校正用の第1校正部3aと色彩校正用の第2校正部3bとの少なくともいずれか一方を備えたものであれば良く、適宜に変更できる。 In the above embodiment, the measuring apparatus main body 100 is capable of measuring gloss and color, but may be any instrument that can measure either gloss or color, for example. Further, the measuring device table 2 also includes a first calibration unit 3a for gloss calibration, a second calibration unit 3b for color calibration, and a zero calibration unit 4, but the first calibration unit 3a for gloss calibration and the color are also provided. Any device provided with at least one of the second calibration unit 3b for calibration may be used and can be appropriately changed.
 また、上記実施形態では、コイルばね332が用いられ、コイルばね332により、押圧板331の当接部334を保持部材322の略中心部を押圧することにより、校正基準部材32は、測定開口形成部材127における測定開口130の略中央部に当たる部分で押圧されているが、この形態のものに限らず、例えば板バネが用いられ、前記板バネで、校正基準部材32は、測定開口形成部材127における測定開口130の内側(内周側)に当たる部分で押圧されてよく、適宜に変更できる。 In the above embodiment, the coil spring 332 is used, and the calibration reference member 32 forms the measurement opening by pressing the abutting portion 334 of the pressing plate 331 against the substantially central portion of the holding member 322 by the coil spring 332. The member 127 is pressed at a portion corresponding to the substantially central portion of the measurement opening 130. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. For example, a plate spring is used, and the calibration reference member 32 is a measurement opening forming member 127 using the plate spring. May be pressed at a portion corresponding to the inner side (inner peripheral side) of the measurement opening 130 in FIG.
 また、上記実施形態では、押圧機構33は、押圧板331とコイルばね332とを備えているが、例えば押圧機構33は、コイルばね332のみから構成され、押圧板331を有さない形態のものでも良い。押圧機構33がコイルばね332のみから構成され、コイルばね332の上端が校正基準部材32に当接される場合において、コイルばね332の上端は、測定開口130の径よりも小さく、校正基準部材32に対し、測定開口形成部材127における測定開口130の内側(内周側)に当たる部分に当接されればよい。 Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the press mechanism 33 is provided with the press plate 331 and the coil spring 332, the press mechanism 33 is comprised only from the coil spring 332, for example, the thing which does not have the press plate 331. But it ’s okay. When the pressing mechanism 33 is composed only of the coil spring 332 and the upper end of the coil spring 332 is brought into contact with the calibration reference member 32, the upper end of the coil spring 332 is smaller than the diameter of the measurement opening 130, and the calibration reference member 32. On the other hand, what is necessary is just to contact | abut the part which hits the inner side (inner peripheral side) of the measurement opening 130 in the measurement opening formation member 127. FIG.
