[0071] Figure 2A It is a figure which shows 2nd Embodiment of the end face inspection apparatus 10. As shown in FIG. In the second embodiment, an arrangement mechanism 23 , a first light source 11 a, a second light source 11 b, and an imaging device 13 are included. In the second embodiment, the honeycomb structure 1 is arranged at a predetermined position, and the first image data for processing and the second image data for processing are obtained. Also in this embodiment, disposing the honeycomb structure 1 at a predetermined position includes not only placing the honeycomb structure 1 at the predetermined position in a stationary state but also passing through the predetermined position while moving.

[0072]The placement mechanism 23 (stage 14) arranges the honeycomb structure 1 having porous partition walls that define the plurality of cells 5 at a predetermined position so that the second end surface 2b serves as the placement surface 3. 4. The plurality of compartme...

[0082] use Figure 2B as well as Figure 2C A third embodiment will be described. The end surface inspection device 10 of the third embodiment includes an arrangement unit 23 , a first processing image data acquisition unit 21 , and a second processing image data acquisition unit 22 . In addition, an inversion device 28 for inverting the honeycomb structure 1 up and down is included.

[0083] Such as Figure 2B As shown, in the third embodiment, two honeycomb structures 1 are placed on a table 14 as a set and moved. First, the second processing image data of the first end face 2 a is obtained by the second processing image data obtaining means 22 , and the first processing image data of the first end face 2 a is obtained by the first processing image data obtaining means 21 . Thereafter, the honeycomb structure 1 is inverted up and down by the inverting device 28, and image data for processing is similarly obtained for the second end face 2b.

Abstract

The present invention provides an end face inspection method and an end face inspection device capable of detecting cracks in partition walls of an end face of a honeycomb structure. It is equipped with an arrangement step of arranging the honeycomb structure (1) with the second end surface (2b) as the mounting surface (3), and while irradiating the first end surface (2a) of the honeycomb structure (1) with the honeycomb structure ( 1) The angle (k) formed between the axes (a) perpendicular to the mounting surface (3) is 40° or more for light (12), while obtaining the first end surface (2a) for the first treatment. image data. In addition, the second processing image data of the first end surface (2a) is obtained while irradiating the above-mentioned light (12) with an angle (k) smaller than 40°. The end face inspection of the honeycomb structure (1) is performed by comparing the first image data for processing with the second image data for processing to detect cracks.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an end face inspection method and an end face inspection device of a honeycomb structure. More specifically, it relates to an end face inspection method and an end face inspection device of a honeycomb structure capable of detecting cracks in cell walls of an end face of the honeycomb structure. Background technique [0002] Ceramic honeycomb structures are used as carriers for catalyst devices used in various fields such as chemistry, electric power, and iron and steel for environmental measures and recovery of specific materials. In addition, ceramic honeycomb structures are also widely used as filters for exhaust gas purification such as diesel particulate filters (DPF). Such a honeycomb structure made of ceramics is excellent in heat resistance and corrosion resistance, and is employed in various applications as described above. [0003] The honeycomb structure is produced, for example, by mixing ceramic raw mater...
