  • Publication number: 20230245297
    Abstract: In a device and a method for detecting a defect in a corrugated cardboard sheet, a device for eliminating a defect in a corrugated cardboard sheet, and a device for manufacturing a corrugated cardboard sheet, the device for detecting a defect in a corrugated cardboard sheet which detects a defect in a wavy core affixed to a liner is provided with: a lighting device that lights the core; an imaging device that captures an image of a lit part in the core; an image processing device that defines a change degree of a light amount value along a conveyance direction of the corrugated cardboard sheet on the basis of the image captured by the imaging device; and a first determination device that compares the change degree of the light amount value with a previously-set first determination value to determine quality.

  • Patent number: 11002686
    Abstract: A corrugated board sheet defect detecting device detects a defect in a single-faced cardboard sheet guided by a guide member with corrugated core paper facing outwards. The device includes a radiating device, an image capturing device, an image processing device, and an assessing device. The radiating device is configured to radiate light toward the core paper at a radiation angle relative to the single-faced cardboard sheet. The image capturing device is configured to capture an image of a portion of the core paper irradiated with the light. The image processing device is configured to a light portion and a dark portion in a direction in which the single-faced cardboard sheet is transported based on the captured image. The assessing device is configured to assess a quality by comparing a length of the light portion and a length of the dark portion.

  • Publication number: 20200118262
    Abstract: A cardboard sheet defect detection device is for detecting a defect of a single-faced cardboard sheet guided by a guide member outside a corrugated core. The cardboard sheet defect detection device includes an irradiation device that irradiates the core with light at an irradiation angle inclined as much as a preset predetermined angle with respect to the single-faced cardboard sheet; an imaging device that images an irradiated portion of the light in the core; an image processing device that defines a bright section or a dark section along a transport direction of the single-faced cardboard sheet, based on a captured image captured by the imaging device; and a determination device that determines a quality by comparing a length of the bright section or a length of the dark section which is defined by the image processing device with a preset determination value.

  • Publication number: 20190134936
    Abstract: A defect detection device that detects the position of defective parts in a core paper. The device includes a slitter/scorer that cuts a continuous double-sided cardboard sheet along a transport direction. The device includes a cutoff that cuts off a plurality of continuous double-sided cardboard sheets along a width direction to a prescribed length, the continuous double-sided cardboard sheets having been cut to a prescribed width. The device includes a web director that distributes the plurality of continuous double-sided cardboard sheets to respective conveyance tables. The device includes a defective-product-eliminating device that eliminates plate-shaped double-sided cardboard sheets from a conveyance line.
