2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, in the production of cans for food and drink, efforts have been made to minimize the emission of large amounts of carbon dioxide and organic solvents in the atmosphere in order to protect the global environment. As a protective film for the inner and outer surfaces, a material obtained by thermally bonding a resin film from a conventional organic solvent is being used as a can material. For example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-269647, a can body is formed by deep drawing and stretching a laminated plate in which a resin flume such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is heat-bonded to a flat band-shaped iron plate in advance. This eliminates the need for a large amount of cooling water, which has been emulsified with oil, as well as the need for drying and baking the paint.

A can body using such a laminated plate is formed and stretched by using a ring-shaped die and a rod-shaped punch with a narrow gap equal to the plate thickness. If air bubbles or foreign matter are present between them, the processing of the resin film and the metal plate is deviated, and defects such as film pinholes and peeling of the film are caused due to the deviation. The pinholes in the film cause the water content of the contents to reach the metal plate and cause rusting, and the metal plate dissolves in the contents and spoils the taste. However, there is a risk that pinholes will occur, which will cause leaks and damage the contents.

In addition, even if the pinhole is not reached, the following trouble occurs. That is, when the film is peeled off, the moisture of the contents diffuses and permeates the inside of the film as water vapor, and becomes a liquid again when it reaches the peeled portion,
There is a problem that it reacts with the metal plate to generate rust, which causes no harm but apparently causes foreign matter to be attached to the consumer to make them uneasy.
Therefore, by detecting a laminated plate having air bubbles or foreign substances between the metal plate and the resin film, or eliminating these laminated plates,
It is necessary to adjust the conditions in the step of laminating the metal plate and the resin film.

In the above case, if the size of the bubbles is sufficiently larger than the surface roughness of the base iron plate,
A conventional method using laser beam scanning can be applied, but the bubbles and foreign matter generated in the above-mentioned laminated plate are 10 μm.
It has a size of about m and is about the same as a bright and dark pattern due to unevenness on the surface of the metal plate. Therefore, when a transparent film is used as the resin film, it is impossible to determine whether the reflection state of light due to air bubbles or foreign matter or the reflection state due to rolling streaks or the like on the surface of the metal plate.

As a method for inspecting unevenness on the surface, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-1
No. 86107 discloses a method of inspecting unevenness by detecting light and darkness due to a difference in reflection angle between a flat portion and a sloped portion of unevenness. However, this method cannot be applied to the case where a metal plate having extremely large light reflection is provided under a thin transparent film because of the same problem as the above-mentioned conventional technique.

Next, the principle of inspection performed by using the inspection apparatus having the above-mentioned structure will be described with reference to FIG. First, the resin film 3 laminated and bonded to a metal plate will be described. The resin film 3 is obtained by biaxially stretching a piece of cloth that has been prepared by melt extrusion in advance (stretching it several times in both the longitudinal and width directions). As manufactured, the molecular chains in the film are biaxially oriented in the plane direction and have optical polarization characteristics.
The degree of orientation in the longitudinal direction and the width direction changes depending on the slight thickness unevenness of the original fabric and the distribution of the stretching force, and the degree thereof greatly changes at the central portion and both end portions of the width. The film has a width of about 3 to 7 m, and the width of the metal plate attached to the film is about 1 m. Therefore, a film slit vertically is used. Therefore, a difference between lots also occurs. Therefore, in order to satisfactorily observe only the surface by the method of the present invention, it becomes necessary to adjust the rotation angle of the phase plate 114 for each film width and lot.

If there are bubbles B between the resin film 3 and the metal plate 1 of the above-mentioned laminated plate 6, a bulge occurs on the surface of the resin film layer. Most of the bubbles have a diameter of 10
Although it is about μm, the size of the bulge on the surface of the resin film having a thickness of 25 μm is about 100 μm, which is one digit larger.
The height is a minute bulge of about 2 μm. When several bubbles are densely aggregated or when a foreign substance is sandwiched between them, one large bulge is generated on the surface of the resin film layer, and therefore the approximate state can be inferred from the size.

The light projected perpendicularly to the surface of the resin film layer is reflected brightly in the same vertical direction as the incident light in the area A where there is no abnormality, and is observed brightly. Then, the light is reflected in an oblique direction and is blocked by the entrance diaphragm, so that it is observed as a dark image. In addition, at the crest of the bulge, which is reflected coaxially as in (a), it is observed brightly, and the entire bulge appears as a donut-shaped dark ring.

The change in the rotation angle of the phase plate and the brightness of the visual field is
When the film production line direction is shown as 0 to 180 degrees, it becomes a bright four-leaf clover shape in the line direction and the direction perpendicular to it (I in Fig. 4), and in the bright direction, it is rough due to rolling streaks of the metal plate through the film. I can see the surface.
Almost 45,135,225,315 with minimum brightness
In degrees, the film becomes opaque and only the surface-reflected light is visible, while at the same time the bulge caused by bubbles appears as a dark donut. The minimum brightness range is 4 above.
± 5,135,225,315 degrees
It is limited to the range of 5 to ± 20 degrees (A, B, C, D).
Since the above four positions will be similar images in all,
It is sufficient to observe at a position of 45 degrees, and the phase plate 114
Rotation of 0-90 degrees is sufficient for the first quadrant only.

Next, an embodiment of the method of the present invention will be described. The light from the light source 1 is vertically projected onto the laminated plate 6 through the polarizer and the phase plate 114. The light reflected by the laminated plate 6 is
The light again passes through the phase plate 114, the half mirror 113, the analyzer 116, and is received by the video camera 120. At this time, the linearly polarized light is elliptically polarized according to the rotation angle of the phase plate axis, and the light projected on the laminated plate 6 is reflected in the same phase on the surface of the film 3 and passes through the film 3 to pass through the metal plate 1.
What is reflected on the surface of (3) is reflected in the opposite phase, and at the same time, a phase difference occurs due to the polarization characteristics of the film 3. When the light is passed through the phase plate 114 again to be linearly polarized, a difference in polarization angle occurs between the surface reflection of the film 3 and the surface reflection of the metal plate 1. Therefore, by changing the axis angle of the phase plate 114, the metal plate 1 It is possible to block only the reflected light from the film surface by blocking the reflected light from the analyzer 116. Further, when the laminated plate 6 is molecularly oriented, it has polarization characteristics,
Light passing through the film is elliptically polarized depending on the degree and direction of orientation, or lacks components in certain directions. At this time, by rotating and adjusting the axial direction of the phase plate 114, the missing component direction and the axial direction of the analyzer 116 are made coincident with each other, or the light passing through the film is detected by making them orthogonal to the axial direction of the elliptically polarized light. It can be blocked by the photon 116. Since the light passing through the film is attenuated as described above, the video camera 120 can shoot an image in which the uneven surface due to the rolling streaks of the metal plate surface is not visible and only the light reflected on the surface of the film is emphasized. it can.

A video screen imaged by the video camera 120 is processed by a known method in the image processing unit 130 and displayed on the display unit 140. Phase plate 1 for visual inspection
In the rotating operation of 14, the phase plate 114 is manually rotated to an angle at which the surface condition is considered to be the best while looking at the screen of the display unit 130, and it is determined whether or not there is a bulge image. The phase plate 114 can be manually adjusted while looking at the monitor screen of the video camera 120. In this case, the image obtained by processing the image captured by the strobe and binarizing the image is stopped and displayed as a still image of the previous image until the processing of the next place (line direction and width direction) is completed. The time is at least 0.1 second or more, which is necessary for sufficiently judging whether or not there is a bulge image visually. Then, the determination is made by comparing with the display screen photographs of several stages of defect limit samples prepared in advance.

The method of automatic inspection will be specifically described. (1) Control of the phase plate 114 for obtaining a good image The axis of the phase plate 114 is 64 degrees from 0 degree to 90 degrees clockwise.
The surface of the laminated plate is photographed by the video camera 120 while the phase plate 114 is divided at each angle and rotated by the pulse motor. Then, the captured screen is captured as a digital value in a memory (not shown). Angle division accuracy is about 1.4
Degrees, which is sufficient to represent the lowest range of 5 degrees that produces a good screen. Next, as a representative value of the screen brightness, an integrated value of several vertical scanning lines near the central portion of the entire screen is obtained, and the relationship between the rotation angle and the brightness is stored in a calculation memory (not shown). Normally, only one local minimum point is found in the vicinity of the 32nd data in the 45-degree direction, where it becomes dark rapidly. When the axis of the phase plate 114 is returned to the position where the screen brightness is the lowest, this surface state is the position where it looks best if there is no particular disturbance in the orientation of the film, and the process of counting the number of bulges at that position. Do. The range is about ± 5 degrees. Depending on the difference in the lots of laminated boards, the data on the screen brightness also causes the shape of the four-leaf clover to collapse or tilt to the right (II in Fig. 4). In another case, the angle where the brightness decreases appears multiple times, and the image of the surface may be seen even at angles other than the above-mentioned angle, but among them, the minimum point on the most clockwise side (the one with the largest angle) Since a favorable image is obtained in the range of ± 20 degrees, this is captured as data. Once the angle is set, the orientation of the film does not change much in the longitudinal direction, so it is possible to inspect bubbles as it is, but there are some changes in the longitudinal direction as well.
It is necessary to check whether it is at the minimum point. 0-again
Since it is useless to search between 90 degrees, a small angle before and after the angle set up to the previous time (about 3 steps before and after, about ± 4
By taking the brightness data of (degree) and changing the setting to the minimum value, time is saved. However, when the film lot is switched, it is unclear what kind of film it is, so the angle setting operation is performed from the beginning. This is linked to the operation of changing the film roll.

(2) Image capture and calculation of the number and area of bulges For image capture, a CCD type 512 × 512 pixel industrial video camera was used, and an image memory of the same number of pixels was prepared for the computer. Only the bulge is extracted from the captured image as black and the other parts are extracted as white, but the brightness of the central part and the peripheral part of the image is different before that, so the brightness of the entire image was smoothed by shading correction. Objects are subtracted from the original image to obtain an image in which only the changes in light and dark are emphasized. Next, for the frequency distribution of brightness, the brightness of the image is normalized so that the darkest value is 0 and the maximum brightness value is 256, and the distribution of the number of pixels of each brightness is obtained. In this case, a normal distribution is centered around the brightness 128, but about 100 without bubbles.
~ 155, about 64-170 with air bubbles
(Figs. 5 (a) and 5 (b)). Next, black and white binarization processing is performed. From the frequency distribution chart, select the threshold value as 100 and
The images of (a) and (b) are binarized and the image of the bulge is extracted (FIGS. 6A and 6B). Even without bubbles, there are slight irregularities on the surface, leaving some black images, but with bubbles there are many black images. Next, the area distribution of the black image is obtained. The number of pixels of each black image is expressed as it is as a relative area, and its frequency distribution is obtained (Fig. 7 (a),
(B)). In the case where there are no bubbles, the number of images having an area value of around 25 to 30 or more is extremely small, and in the case where there are bubbles, the area relative value is distributed up to about 100. Next, the presence or absence of bubbles is determined from the area distribution of this black image. Temporarily, the area value 25 is set as a threshold, and the area larger than that is determined to be a bubble. It is judged that bubbles are generated when an image of which the threshold value or more is seen.

I was able to shoot as. About 1 for image analysis
Since it takes a second time, it is an automatic sampling inspection every 3.3 m, but bubbles are generated in the resin film bonding process when the line speed exceeds a certain limit, when the resin film and the metal plate When the pressure for pressing and is lowered below a certain limit, it has a property of rapidly increasing, and since the single laminated plate 6 has a length of several thousand m, even such a sampling can be regarded as a substantially continuous inspection.
