Embodiment Construction

[0014] Referring to the preceding figures, the reference numeral 4 generally designates a device for inspecting transparent cylindrical containers 8 containing transparent or translucent sticky or gel products, in particular for medical applications.

[0015] It should be noted that the cylindrical container 8 is transparent to allow external observation of the substance contained therein, preferably a transparent or translucent sticky or gel.

[0016] Therefore, the cylindrical container 8 is preferably made of glass or plastic, such as Plexiglass or the like.

[0017] Furthermore, the cylindrical containers 8 have an axis of symmetry X-X; in other words, they are solid bodies of revolution around said axis of symmetry X-X.

[0018] Said inspection device 4 comprises support and / or gripping means (not shown) for the cylindrical container 8, which support and / or gripping means are suitable for supporting the cylindrical container and are provided with means for placing the cyl...

Abstract

An apparatus and method for inspecting a transparent cylindrical container containing a transparent or translucent viscous material or gel product. The apparatus comprises: supporting and / or clamping means for the cylindrical container, adapted to support the cylindrical container and provided with means for rotating the cylindrical container about a vertical axis of rotation; a camera directed to frame and capture an image of a window of a sidewall of the cylindrical container, the sidewall having a thickness equal to a difference between an outer radius and an inner radius, the inner radius being a radius of an inner surface of the sidewall; an illumination device placed opposite the camera with respect to the cylindrical container to back illuminate the cylindrical container; and a control unit programmed to control the rotation of the cylindrical container at a constant angular velocity about the vertical axis of rotation by means of the support and / or clamping device, to control the activation of the camera.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for inspecting transparent cylindrical containers containing transparent or translucent sticky or gel products, in particular for medical applications. Background technique [0002] As is known, in the medical field it is necessary to analyze transparent containers containing medical substances in order to detect the presence of any impurities within the container itself. In the case of a positive result, the container must obviously be discarded, as it is unacceptable for a medical substance to contain any type of contamination. [0003] Systems used in the art are of the optical type and utilize cameras that scan each container in order to identify any contaminants. However, the known systems have some disadvantages. [0004] In fact, known optical systems, although capable of identifying the presence of contaminants / impurities, cannot reliably distinguish whether the location of said contami...
