Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a method and an apparatus which satisfy given conditions which are not subjected to disturbances such as an oil portion stuck to the surface of an object to be inspected and moisture as well as a change of color, an uneven color and the like on the surface of the object to be detected. SOLUTION: A small-diameter rod 7 as a contact-type detector is brought into contact with the surface of a shaft part 1 for an engine valve, and it is moved to the length direction of the shaft part at a constant speed (v). At this time, mechanical vibrations, of the slender-diameter rod 7, generated at every pitch gap 4 generated on the surface of the shaft part are converted into an electric signal by a vibration sensor 14 so as to be amplified. When the electric signal exceeds a prescribed value, the engine valve is judged to be a defective product. In addition, an abnormality report signal is transmitted to a grinding-machine control unit in an upstream process, and the driving motor of a grinding machine is stopped.

2. Description of the Related Art In order to clarify the point of the present invention, an engine valve will be described in detail as an example of a product having a sliding shaft portion. FIG. 9 shows the appearance of the engine valve. In the figure, 1 is a shaft portion (also referred to as a stem) which is a subject of the present invention, 2 is an umbrella portion, 3 is a face portion which seals intake and exhaust gases, 24 is a valve guide (indicated by a broken line for use during engine operation) ).

The shaft portion 1 of the engine valve reciprocates in the valve guide 4 during engine operation (directions of arrows G and H).
Therefore, a high level of surface roughness (Rmax ≦ 3.2 μm)
Is required. Therefore, in a mass production line of engine valves, a centerless grinder (coreless grinder) is used for polishing the shaft 1.

On the other hand, at the time of polishing the shaft portion by the centerless grinder, although the cause is unknown, resonance sometimes occurs due to changes in the machine body, the wear diameter of the grindstone over time, the weight, etc. Periodic circumferential scratches (hereinafter referred to as "equal pitch") 4 as shown in FIG. 10 occur. FIG. 11 shows the surface roughness of a normal product in which the shaft surface is normal and the surface roughness of an abnormal product in which the shaft surface has an equal pitch.

The engine valve having the equal pitches on the shaft portion 1 generates an abnormal sound (noise of a shuffle sound) while the engine is operating, that is, while sliding in the valve guide 4, and the valve guide 4 is worn away. This leads to a decrease in accuracy and life, a reduction in airtightness due to poor seat / face seating, a reduction in engine output, and a loss in fuel consumption.

Therefore, in order to prevent the occurrence and the outflow of such irregular pitch products, conventionally, an inspector is arranged at the terminal of the engine valve mass production line or at the shipping inspection site. The inspection was carried out by visual inspection using a loupe or a surface roughness meter (see FIG. 9).

Since it is a visual inspection of the workers, there are individual differences and experience differences among the workers, and it is not quantitative. It is actually difficult to perform 100% inspection using a loupe and a surface roughness meter. Therefore, there is a problem that the discovery rate is high when the pitch is coarse, and the discovery rate is low when the pitch is fine. In addition, visually inspected by mass production line terminals due to adhesion of grinding fluid to the shaft surface, and ash brown discoloration after surface hardening treatment (nitriding treatment to improve wear resistance of the shaft portion). Difficult to find. Since the discovery omission rate cannot be reduced to zero due to the above, there is a risk of outflow of abnormal products at regular pitches. If the detection of abnormal pitch products with equal pitch is delayed at the mass production line terminal or shipping inspection site, feedback will not be applied to the centerless grinder that is grinding the engine valve (abnormal pitch products). It is impossible to prevent continuous occurrence to a minimum. In particular, discovery at the shipping inspection site causes a large loss because the elapsed time is long. In the case of the measurement by the surface roughness meter, as shown in FIG. 12, since the fine conical diamond contactor 25 is used, the moving direction of the diamond contactor 25 and the azimuth of the engine valve shaft portion 1, And height level adjustment,
It is extremely difficult to use a jig.

(1) Non-contact detection method Aiming at the center line of the engine valve shaft portion while irradiating its surface with laser light, visible light, etc., the surface is moved in the longitudinal direction of the shaft portion,
This is a method of receiving the reflected light every moment and amplifying, analyzing and judging the condition of the surface, but the intensity level of the reflected light becomes unstable even if a slight deviation between the bulb axis and the center line of the irradiation light occurs. Further, in the case of laser light, the intensity level of reflected light fluctuates greatly due to the oil content and moisture adhering to the valve surface. In the case of visible light, since the surface irregularities are captured by contrast, the information of reflected light is easily disturbed due to discoloration or color unevenness. The reflection echo method using ultrasonic waves also suffered significant disturbance, and as a result of preliminary tests, it was found that it could not be put to practical use.

(2) Contact Detection Method The inventor abuts a thin elastic metal plate or a thin metal wire having a large elasticity on the uneven surface of the shaft portion having the even pitches and moves the thin plate or the metal wire in a direction crossing the streaks of the even pitches. And noticed that it generated its own vibration sound. That is, if the moving speed is constant,
The coarser the pitch of the equal pitch (the larger P is), the lower the sound is generated, and the more the irregularities are large (the larger h), the stronger the sound is generated.

This automatic inspection device was attached to one station of the continuous automatic inspection device of the terminal (configured). The continuous automatic inspection system also has 3 stations for leak inspection, shaft diameter inspection, and full length inspection. In this arrangement, the engine valve is placed upright at a predetermined inspection station with the umbrella portion 3 facing downward, and the inspection is performed from the end surface of the umbrella portion to a height level of about 30 to about 70 mm. Although this inspection region is not specified, the inspection of partial regions is usually sufficient because the equi-pitch line extends over the entire length of the shaft portion.
