CONSTITUTION:A body to be measured 1 is provided so that it can be relatively moved with respect to a measuring region. Outer-surface light projecting devices 18 which project ring shaped projected light beams on the outer surface of the body to be measured 1 are provided. Similar inner-surface light projecting device 24 are provided. The light beams re projected from the light projecting devices 18 and 24. The images of the reflected light beams from the body to be measured 1 are picked up with an outer surface image sensor 19 and an inner surface image sensor 25. The images are sent into a specified data processing device, and the outer surface shape and the inner surface shape are obtained. The data of the outer surface shape and the data of the inner surface shape at each part of the body to be measured are collated. Thus the thickness of each part of the body to be measured can be obtained automatically.

[Function] According to the object shape measuring device according to claim 1, the object to be measured is moved relative to the measurement area by the feeding device and fed into the measurement area in a direction intersecting the feeding direction. The annular projection light of the external surface projecting device is projected onto each part of the external surface (for example, in the circumferential direction), and the external surface imaging device captures an image of the reflected light. At this time, the object to be measured is continuously fed by the feeding device, and each part of its outer surface passes through the measurement area one after another. Therefore, when the object to be measured finishes passing through the measurement area, the annular projection light projected onto each part of the outer surface in the direction intersecting the aforementioned feeding direction by the external surface projector is reflected in the feeding direction (e.g., longitudinal direction). It extends to each part of the outer surface, in other words, it extends to each part of the entire outer surface. Also, at this time, the external surface imaging device finishes capturing the reflected light image formed on the entire external surface of the object to be measured. Thereby, the data processing device obtains the imaging results of the external surface imaging device and automatically calculates the outer surface shape of each part of the object to be measured, as long as the object to be measured passes through the measurement area once, that is, efficiently. I can do it.
