Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable the execution of checking using one image processing device, by a method wherein bottles on a plurality of bottle checking lines are imaged on mirrors to form virtual images of the bottles, these virtual images are gathered to one place to form one image plane, and an information on the image plane is sent to one image processing device. CONSTITUTION:Bottles (a)-(c) are sent onto checking tables 2a-2c via bottle moving device 1a-1c on lines I-III respectively and are stopped thereon. Next, lights of light source bodies 8a-8c are applied to the bottles (a)-(c), and the bottles (a) and (c) are imaged on mirrors 3a and 3c to form virtual images a' and c' at parallel positions on the left and the right of the bottle (b). On the occasion, a CCD camera 7 picks up a real image b' and the virtual images a' and c' to form one image plane, and an information on the image plane obtained on the occasion is sent from the camera 7 to an image processing device. Based on an image information, it is determined therein whether any foreign substance is present in the bottle contents filled up in the bottles (a)-(c). A signal of this determination is sent to a controller, a control signal is sent therefrom a separators 6a-6c to control the separators 6a-6c and thereby the discrimination of good and defective bottles are executed.

かるという問題があった。(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Conventionally, as described above, an image processing device was installed in each of a plurality of bottle inspection lines to check the contents of beer, alcohol, medicine, oil, etc. filled in transparent or translucent bottles. This involves inspecting items to see if they contain foreign substances, and requires as many image processing devices as there are bottle inspection lines. In addition, if bottles from multiple bottle inspection lines are to be inspected using one image processing device, it is necessary to connect as many cameras as there are bottle inspection lines to the image processing device and sequentially send images from each camera to the image processing device. There was a problem that simultaneous processing was not possible and it took a long time to inspect the bottles.
