Multi-row type online internal quality inspection device
First Claim
1. A multi-row type online internal quality inspection device comprising:
- transport means for conveying a plurality of inspection objects in a plurality of rows, said transport means including an inspection area;
light projecting means arranged at predetermined positions in said inspection area to project light rays on the inspection objects set side by side in each of said rows and conveyed by said transport means;
light receiving means arranged at said inspection area to receive transmission light coming through said inspection objects, wherein said transport means comprises a conveyor having left and right conveyor chains endlessly arranged to circularly travel in parallel on left and right sides of said transport means along chain rails;
a plurality of mounting bars arranged in parallel with each other and spaced at a predetermined interval in the direction of travel of said conveyor, two ends of each of said mounting bars being held by said conveyor chains on the left and right sides of said transport means;
a plurality of receiving trays carried by said mounting bars to be shiftable by said mounting bars in parallel with said mounting bars and arranged in a plurality of columns spaced in the direction of width of said conveyor and in a plurality of rows arranged in the direction of travel of said conveyor, and a plurality of guide rails arranged to guide said receiving trays so as to vary a spacing interval between adjacent columns of receiving trays in the direction of width of said conveyor.

Abstract
A multi-row type internal quality inspection device is arranged to adjust spacing intervals between the columns of receiving trays arranged in rows on a conveyer to the column spacing intervals of a supply conveyor at the start part on the entrance side of a transport path; to have the spacing intervals between the receiving trays become wider at an inspection area provided at an intermediate part of the transport path to allow light projecting means and light receiving means to be arranged there in the lateral direction with respect to inspection objects on the receiving trays for adequate inspection of internal quality of the objects through transmission light obtained through them; and, at the end point on the exit side of the transport path, to have the spacing intervals narrowed and adjusted to the column spacing internals of a conveyor of a next process of sorting on the exit side of the transport path. The receiving trays are arranged to be laterally movable on mounting bars which are mounted on conveyor chains in parallel and spaced at a predetermined distance. Guide pins protruding downward from the receiving trays and guide rails disposed below the path of the receiving trays are arranged to gradually widen and narrow the column spacing intervals between the objects. At the inspection area, therefore, the internal quality of the objects can be adequately inspected by light projecting means and light receiving means.

2. A multi-row type online internal quality inspection device comprising:
-
transport means arranged to convey many inspection objects in a plurality of rows and to include an inspection area;
light projecting means arranged in predetermined positions at said inspection area to project light rays on the inspection objects set side by side in each of said rows and conveyed by said transport means; and
light receiving means arranged at said inspection area to receive transmission light coming through said inspection objects, and wherein said transport means includes a conveyor having left and right conveyor chains endlessly arranged to circularly travel in parallel on left and right sides of said transport means along chain rails;
a plurality of mounting bars arranged in parallel with each other and spaced at predetermined intervals in the direction of travel of said conveyor, two ends of each of said mounting bars being held by said conveyor chains on the left and right sides of said transport means;
a plurality of receiving trays carried by said mounting bars to be shiftable by said mounting bars in parallel with said mounting bars and arranged in a plurality of columns spaced in the direction of width of said conveyor and in a plurality of rows arranged in the direction of travel of said conveyor, said receiving trays being provided with guide pins which protrudes downward; and
a plurality of guide rails arranged to guide said guide pins of said receiving trays to move said receiving trays of each row in parallel with said mounting bars in such a way as to have said receiving trays of each row come closer to each other by narrowing spacing intervals between adjacent columns of receiving trays at a transport start end of said conveyor, to gradually make the receiving tray spacing intervals wider as each row of the receiving trays is brought closer to said inspection area from said transport start end by the travel of said conveyor and, when said conveyor travels from said inspecting area to the end of transport, to cause the spacing intervals between the columns of said receiving trays to become narrower and to be equal to the column spacing intervals of a conveyor which is provided for a next process. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 8)
