NOZZLE JETTING TYPE WASHING DEVICE AND NOZZLE JETTING TYPE WASHING METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To surely and efficiently wash an article to be washed by providing an image pickup device for recognizing the article to be washed mounted in a washing housing as an image, analyzing the output signal to discriminate a position, a shape and contamination of the article to be washed and controlling the position of a washing nozzle from the discrimination result. ;SOLUTION: An article A to be washed is fed into a washing housing 1 with a conveyer 7 and continuous split images are formed by two sets of image pickup devices 2 provided on the upper wall surface and the side wall surface. At this time, a position of the article A to be washed is detected with an object detection device 11, rotation of the conveyer 7 is controlled by a positioning control device 12 and the article A to be washed is stopped at an optimized position. Also, image information signals in two directions to the upper surface and the side surface from the image pickup devices 2 are analyzed with an image processing device 3, thus a position, a shape and contamination of the article A to be washed are discriminated and the discriminated information signals are transmitted to a nozzle control device 4. Based on the discrimination information signals, a nozzle drive device 5 is driven to move a washing nozzle 6 and the article A to be washed is washed.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1998,JPO
