  • the thickness ratio was between 0.20 and 0.40
  • the brightness difference and vacuum formability tended to be rated "A" in many specimens. That is, when the thickness ratio was 0.10 to 0.5, the difference in brightness could be made relatively small, and accordingly, excellent vacuum formability could be obtained. Further, when the thickness ratio was 0.20 to 0.40, the difference in brightness could be made smaller and better vacuum formability could be obtained.
  • Comparative Example 5 is 0.032, which is smaller than Comparative Examples 1 to 4. Therefore, although Comparative Example 5 has the same evaluation of "C" in brightness difference and vacuum formability as Comparative Examples 1 to 4, it is actually worse than Comparative Examples 1 to 4 in terms of brightness difference and vacuum formability. It is thought that he did.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une feuille expansée par extrusion grâce à laquelle une excellente aptitude au moulage sous vide peut être obtenue. La présente invention concerne aussi un procédé d'inspection et un dispositif d'inspection pour la feuille expansée par extrusion. Dans un état dans lequel la feuille expansée par extrusion (1) est exposée à un rayonnement lumineux par le dessous, la feuille expansée par extrusion (1) et une règle (10) sont simultanément imagées par le dessus pour obtenir une image (21). L'image (21) est soumise à un traitement des bords pour obtenir une image (22). L'image (22) est soumise à une transformée de Fourier discrète bidimensionnelle pour obtenir une image (23). L'image (23) présente une distribution de la fréquence de luminance dans l'image (22). La règle (10) est retirée de l'image (21) pour obtenir une image (24). L'image (24) est soumise à la transformée de Fourier discrète bidimensionnelle pour obtenir une image (25). Lorsque l'image (23) est représentée par un spectre bidimensionnel, un pic primaire P1, un pic secondaire P2 et un pic tertiaire P3 apparaissant selon une échelle d'intervalle de 1 mm de la règle sont extraits. Lorsque l'image (25) est représentée par un spectre bidimensionnel, une différence Δ entre une valeur de la luminance à la position correspondant au pic central P0 et une valeur de la luminance à la position correspondant au pic tertiaire P3 est inférieure à 25 lorsqu'elle est exprimée par 256 gradations.
