The light sources 3 are attached to the mouth of the bottle 1 and the screw portion 4 at an angle of about 45 ° so that the optical axes of both light sources 3 intersect with each other at the upper and lower sides in the conveying direction 2 of the bottle 1 conveyed while rotating. The bottle mouth and the screw portion 4 are photographed by the TV camera 6 through the mirror 5 from an angle of about 45 ° obliquely upward on a plane including the point and perpendicular to the conveying direction 2. By rotating the bottle 1, it is possible to capture an image of the entire surface of the bottle mouth and the screw portion 4 into the television camera 6.

The bottle 1 is being conveyed while being rotated, and the movement of the bottle 1 is followed, the conventionally known mirror 5 is scanned, and the image of the bottle mouth and the screw portion 4 comes to the central axis of the visual field of the television camera 6. Technology to do so. Since the television camera 6 squeezes out an image every approximately 16.7 msec, one image is continuously taken out for a plurality of screens while the bottle 1 rotates.

Since the bottle mouth and the conveying direction side of the screw part 4 are illuminated by the light source 3, the image taken by the television camera 6 is shown in FIG.
Even in a non-defective bottle, the left and right sides of the mouth and the screw portion 4 are illuminated brightly, but the light to the central portion of the mouth and the screw portion 4 is not diffusely reflected by the camera 6 side and the central portion is dark. The left and right brightly illuminated parts have a delicate positional relationship with the light source 3 while the mirror 5 follows the movement of the bottle 1.
The brightness changes, and if the light source of the light amount 3 is set too high, it becomes too bright and affects the overall level of the television camera 6. Therefore, in the embodiment, the shading plate 7 is provided on the reflecting surface of the mirror 5.
Is provided, and the left and right bright portions of the mouth and the screw portion 4 are shielded from light on the image of the television camera 6 as shown in FIG.

If there is a defect in the bottle mouth or the screw portion 4, it is diffusely reflected and brightly shines as in the image 8 shown in FIG. 2 (c). In the image 8 of this defect, since the bottle 1 is rotationally moved in a processing time of about 16.7 msec for one screen, an afterimage is generated in the circumferential direction of the bottle mouth and the screw portion 4, as shown in FIG. 2 (c). It can be taken with a shape that draws a tail in the circumferential direction.

Since the camera 6 images from an obliquely upper direction, as shown in FIGS. 2D and 2E, the upper side 9 of the images of the bottle mouth and the screw portion 4 is the camera of the bottle mouth and the screw portion 4. The opposite side of 6 is an image viewed from the inside, and the lower side 10 is an image of the bottle mouth and the front side of the screw 6 of the camera 6 viewed from the outside.

Therefore, the defect 8 passes through the upper part 9 and the lower part 10 at the center of the bottle mouth and the screw part 4, and the defect 8 which is not scattered to the camera 6 by only one side is also inspected on both the upper part and the lower part 10. By doing so, the detection accuracy can be improved. Since the brightness level of the image differs between the upper side 9 and the lower side 10,
As shown in FIG. 7D, windows 11 and 12 of the effective processing range for defect detection are separately provided, and the brightness determination level for defect detection is set separately for each of the windows 11 and 12.
