Abstract

A vehicle lamp inspection equipment (10) comprises a vehicle position recognizing section (16) for detecting arrival of a vehicle (14) at an inspection position, a terminal (20) to be connected with an ECU (18) mounted on the vehicle (14), cameras (22L, 22R) for imaging the lamp of the vehicle (14) which has arrived at the inspection position from the right and left front, cameras (24L, 24R) for imaging from the right and left rear, spot lights (28L, 28R) for illuminating the right and left front wheels (26L, 26R), and long fluorescent lights (32L, 32R) for illuminating the right and left rear wheels (30L, 30R). When the vehicle (14) has arrived at the inspection position, a main processing section (44) turns on or flashes the lamp through the terminal (20) and the ECU (18) and acquires image data from the cameras (22L, 22R), thereby checking the lamp.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device (equipment) and a method for checking the on-state and flickering state of various lamps on an inspection assembly line after the vehicle is assembled. Background technique [0002] Processes for manufacturing and assembling a vehicle include various inspection processes performed on the vehicle after assembly. These inspection procedures include confirmatory checks to check that lights on the vehicle are properly turned on or flicker to confirm malfunctions such as disconnected wires or burnt bulbs. [0003] A light inspection is performed as follows; the inspector actually gets into the vehicle, and sits in the driver's seat, directly operates a switch to turn on or flash the light. The inspector confirms that the light is on or blinking by looking at the image captured by the camera and displayed on a monitor or mirrors around the vehicle. [0004] As a technique for automating inspection based on visual confirmat...
