  • the present invention relates to apparatus for automatically inspecting, in accordance with a predetennined standard, the surface or the inside of various objects or materials.
  • the present invention can be used for automatically and continuously inspecting ampuls or baeyers having chemicals sealed therein.
  • the apparatus of the present invention can also be used for the examination of the condition of the surface of a solid substance such as the uniformity of the surface or for the detection of scars on the surface of the solid substance, or it can be used to inspect for microbes floating in a fluid scaled within a transparent container.
  • Bad ampuls can be characterized, for example, by a lack or excess of chemicals contained therein, contamination of or scars on the external walls thereof, or particles of foreign matter contained in such chemicals (such as glass, fiber, dust, crystals or the like).
  • the inspection of ampuls containing particles of foreign matter is in particular explained.
  • ampuls are rotated to float whatever particles of foreign matter are located therein, and then said ampuls are placed in position for inspection.
  • the ampuls are then illuminated and the light rays from a part of the surface ,of the side of the liquid-containing ampul are condensed on the light-receiving surface of the above-mentioned photoelectric tube.
  • the foreign matter floats across a part of the surface of the ampul and accordingly illumination of the light-receiving surface is changed.
  • the change of the illumination is represented by a change of electric current. When a change of electric current is observed, it is determined that particles of foreign matter are present in the chemical within the ampul.
  • the known ampul-transmitting means as a whole is subjected to the slightest shaking such as originates from a motor, the illumination on the light-receiving surface is changedfAlso, the illumination of the light source itself is changed even by the slightest variations of voltage. Errors under these circumstances cannot be avoided.
  • an electronic camera is employed to take pictures or images of the objects to be inspected.
  • the interval of the scanning lines is used as a variable inspection unit, and particles of foreign matter or scars or contamination of the wall of the ampuls are inspect-measured.
  • the size of detectable foreign matter may be as low as 5 microns. It is, however, possible to select a larger particle size as the minimum standard on which the inspection tube is to be based.
  • Another problem with which the invention is concerned is due to the fact that particles of foreign matter are floating during the time during which the inspection is being carried out. Due to this, there is the possibility that a few particles are counted as only one particle by reason of their being aligned with each other in front of the camera. In order to avoid this possibility, in accordance with the present invention, a plurality of electronic pictures can be taken for each ampul, and the picture which shows the maximum number of particles of foreign matter is the one from which the quality of an ampul is detennined with reference to such maximum value.
  • an ampul 17 is, in accordance with the invention, first rotated in one direction while standing erect by means of an automatic transmitting means 19 (the rotational velocity thereof being less than about 6,000 rpm), and then said ampul is rotated in the opposite direction.
  • centripetal force is brought about and the particles of foreign matter are floated.
  • Parallel light rays are projected through the bottom of the ampul 17 by means of a light source 18 in order to illuminate the particles of foreign matter within the liquid contained in the ampul.
  • the image of the entire chemical solution within the ampul is formed, through a telescopic lens system of large focal length, on the camera tube of an electronic camera 1 arranged at one side of the ampul 17.
  • the resolution of the camera tube can be varied by changing the oscillation frequency of the horizontal synchronizing signals of the variable horizontal and vertical synchronizing signal generator 3. For example, it is possible to change the distance between the scanning lines within the range of from several tens of microns to several hundred microns by changing the horizontal synchronizing signals within the range of from 200 to 400 lines (see signal he in FIG. 4-A; also signal p.h in FIG. 4-8) with reference to the vertical synchronizing signal each one-fiftieth of a second (see signal a.c in FIG. 4-A).
  • the vertical synchronizing signal variable By having the vertical synchronizing signal variable, the time required for taking a picture is changed from one-fiftieth to one-thirtieth of a second. Thereby the time required for exposure is changed. The contrast of the image can be changed accordingly.
  • the image from the camera tube (see wave d of FIG. 4-A) is enlarged on the monitor Braun tube 16 when the contact is switched over to contact d and can be observed with the naked eye.
  • the wave d of the image can be shaped by means of a video-signal-shaping circuit 2, whereby the wave e is formed.
  • each small projection x on the wave d which projection shows the existence of a particle of foreign matter, is formed into a pulse y.
  • Wave form e is stripped of the horizontal and vertical synchronizing signal components by means of a horizontal and vertical synchronizing signal erasing circuit 6, whereby there is formed a video wave 3 of the image alone. This signal is transmitted to a gate circuit 7 for controlling the number of photographs.
  • signal f is the signal for erasing the horizontal synchronizing signal
  • signal 1' is the signal for erasing the vertical synchronizing signal. Both of these signals are generated by the erasing signal-generating circuit 4.
  • An inspection starting signal I which detects the fact that an ampul has been placed at the predetermined inspecting position is generated in a photoelectric means 12 and transmitted to a circuit 5 for generating a signal to set up the number of inspection photographs to be taken.

Rectangular wave i has a leading edge in coincidence with the vertical synchronizing signal immediately following the signal t, and a trailing edge following the vertical synchronizing signal corresponding to the desired number of images.

  • a tree circuit or ring-counter mechanism can be employed as the counted value distribution circuit.
  • flip-flops as are required for the maximum count possible in the counter circuit 9 are provided in a maximum memory circuit 11 at the output of the counted value distribution circuit 10. Said flip-flops are so modified, for instance, by using diodes that in case a pulse signal once enters the input, it
  • the maximum memory circuit 11 therefore only memorizes the number of particles of foreign matter of the image having the maximum number of such particles. This maximum value is retained on the indicator tube of the maximum memory signal indicating circuit 13 and the indication thereof is maintained until the result of the inspection of the next ampul arrives.

  • the pulses of the respective groups are supplied to one input terminal of the counter 9.
  • the signal r indicating the beginning or end of each group enters via the other input terminal of the counter portion 9 the digital count is reduced to 0 and the counter is ready for the arrival of the incoming pulse group.
  • Circuit 10 is a counted value output distribution matrix composed of an AND-combination of diodes.
  • the binary system counted value signal is, in turn, converted into a decimal system counted value signal. In other words, as many pulses as corresponds to the decimal number are generated on the output side and, then, they enter flip-flop f flip-flop f flip-flop f and set up the flip-flops corresponding to a decimal number.
  • the flip-flops on the output side they are conventionally designed so that 0 is switched to 1 when an input pulse is present but, even if another input pulse should be received, the state of l is retained without being switched to 0.
