Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for visual inspection of the angle-dependent scattering behavior of an object by an observer, with a holding device which has a measuring window which can be brought into a predetermined relative position to the object, and an observation window which is visible to the observer.
- the invention further relates to a system for visually comparing the angle-dependent scattering behavior of a test object with that of a reference object by an observer, and to a system for optically testing flat objects.
- a device of a similar type is known from US Pat. No. 5,596,402. In this device, the light supply sends two light beams onto the measuring window at very different angles of incidence, etc. a first angle of incidence ⁇ _ and a second angle of incidence ct2. The writing is based on the assumption that the angle of reflection ⁇ of the first reflected
- OLiciUcb UieiCi UC.L --.-- .. ix a. ⁇ . . s n .I. ⁇ .C i. G-j_ j. -; -. , _ .. ⁇ _ ⁇ ⁇ --._ --_ C C ⁇ angle ß2 of the second reflected beam equal to the angle of incidence ct2 •
- the first reflected beam ß ⁇ _ is fed directly to the observer via the observation window, and the second reflected beam ß2 is transmitted via a mirror redirected to the observation window and to the observer.
- the light supply comprises either two discrete, spaced-apart lamps or a single lamp arranged behind a diffuser plate.
- a color reflection device is known from EP 0 530 818, in which the light beams emitted at different angles are collected by three light guides and supplied to photosensors. Switchable flaps or screens are arranged in front of the light guide entry openings so that only one light guide directs light to the photosensor, which can carry out a color analysis.
- Colors with reflection or transmission scatter behavior that are dependent on the angle are used, for example, in banknotes or car paints.
- the behavior dependent on the vine arises e.g. through constructive and destructive interference and results in changing color and lumen pressure at a certain incidence of light and different viewing angles.
- the aim of the invention is to create such a device.
- This goal is achieved with the aid of a device of the type mentioned at the outset, which is distinguished by the ino light supply from the is and directed essentially parallel Licnt rays under a predetermined Wm ⁇ el on the measuring window, and a light-guiding device, which is carried by the holding device, captures a multitude of light rays starting from a point ⁇ e ⁇ measuring window and presents them parallel or converging in the observation window.
- substantially parallel is understood to mean a beam which deviates from its target beam direction by no more than approximately ⁇ 10 °, i.e. by max. converges or diverges about 20 °.
- the device according to the invention enables, in a very simple and rapid manner, rapid and non-disruptive, visual inspection of reflection-dependent reflection or transmission scattering of an object with any number of selected radiation transitions.
- the light supply and the light directing device are arranged on the same side of the measuring window.
- the light supply and the light directing device can be arranged on different sides of the measuring window.
- the observation window can be a viewing tube, an eyepiece, the surface of a lens, etc .;
- a viewing screen can also be arranged in the observation window, on which the light rays strike one another.
- Such a screen can be easily with scales, markings, color reference scales or the like. are provided, which enable a simple comparison of the light beams shown with setpoints.
- the device can be used to measure the reflection or transmission scattering behavior at certain wavelengths, in predetermined wavelength ranges or in the entire visible wavelength range.
- white light rays are directed onto the measuring window, so that the test covers the entire visible wavelength range.
- wavelength converting colors e.g. UV converters
- light outside the visible wavelength range could of course also be directed onto the measuring window.
- a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the light supply has a light source, preferably a white light source, particularly preferably a light-emitting diode.
- the light supply can also capture ambient light and direct it onto the measuring window, preferably in that the light supply is a light guiding channel, for example a tube or a light guide.
- the light directing device can also be implemented in various ways. According to a preferred variant of the invention, the light directing device is a converging lens, the measuring window being close to the focal plane of the converging lens.
- Such a light-guiding device captures light beams in a whole, continuous range from different angles, so that, in other words, those angles can be determined at which one color impression changes to the next, in particular with OVIs (Optically Variable Inks) with pronounced fenform ig changing behavior.
- OVIs Optically Variable Inks
- the converging lens is a cylindrical lens. This determines the angular behavior only on the plane normal to the cylinder axis, and the observation window can be viewed with both eyes, for example.
- the converging lens is a half-cylinder, the measuring window being at or a short distance from the flat side of the half-cylinder.
- the lens can be placed directly on the object to be tested.
- the light directing device can also be a cylindrical concave mirror, the measurement window being close to the focal plane ⁇ es of the concave mirror.
- the light-guiding device can be formed from prisms or preferably from individual light guides, as are known per se from EP 0 530 818 and which are each assigned to one of the light beams mentioned, which are reflected at different angles.
- a light guide receives a light beam emanating from the measuring window at a certain angle and guides it to the observation window.
- the reflection or transmission scattering behavior can be checked at specific, discrete angles. It is particularly advantageous if the ends of the light guides in the observation window fill out next to one another.
- the Lichtleiteren ⁇ en thus represent colored light spots, which represent the reflection or transmission scattering behavior at certain angles and can be easily detected with a quick glance.
- a further aspect of the invention consists in the creation of a system for the visual comparison of the angle-dependent scattering behavior of a test object with a reference object by an observer.
- This system is characterized by at least two of the described devices according to the invention, which are connected to one another and whose observation windows lie next to one another. This means that Both observation windows can be grasped at a single glance and simply compared with one another.
- one device has a receptacle for the reference object and the other device has a stop for positioning the test object.
- the reference object can remain permanently in one device and the test object can be aligned with the reference object.
- a preferred embodiment of the system in particular for flat, flexible reference objects, is characterized in that the receptacle contains a drum to which one or more reference objects can be attached. If the drum is round, you can switch between several reference objects by rotating the drum. Regardless of the shape of the drum, there is considerable space savings with flat, flexible reference objects, since these can be wound onto the drum.
- a still further aspect of the present invention consists in the creation of a system for the optical inspection of flat objects, which is characterized by the combination of: a housing, a surface which is carried by the housing and at least a first and a second region for supporting an object and for slidingly displacing it between the first and the second region, a device of the above-mentioned type according to the invention, which is carried by the housing and whose measuring window lies over or coincides with the first region of the support surface, and an infrared camera , which is carried by the housing and aims at the second area.
- the system according to the invention enables a number of optical criteria, such as those used as security features, in particular in the case of bank notes, to be checked in a quick and easy-to-use manner.
- the formation of a plurality of test areas on one and the same contact surface makes it possible to simply move the object by hand by moving one load - to pass the corresponding tests to the next one without having to lift or pick up the subject in between.
- the combination with an infrared camera enables additional testing of optical criteria in the infrared range.
- a particularly advantageous embodiment of the system is characterized in that the infrared camera is a black and white CCD camera which is preceded by a blocking filter for the visible light range. It has been found that the simplest commercially available black and white CCD cameras have a sufficient sensitivity in the infrared range, which can be used by connecting an appropriate filter. This solution is much less expensive than using infrared imaging tubes.
- the output of the infrared camera can easily be provided at a corresponding connection of the housing, so that an external monitor can be connected. However, it is particularly advantageous if a monitor is provided which is carried by the housing and connected to the output of the infrared camera, so that the system is largely self-sufficient.
- the infrared test can work with ambient light that falls on the test object as long as it contains a sufficient infrared component.
- the housing carries a second light source, which is directed onto the second region from above, has a significant radiation component in the infrared region and can optionally be switched on. This means that the system is largely independent of the ambient light. It has been found that a particularly inexpensive variant is that the second light source is a filament lamp.
- the concept of the multi-criterion test according to the invention can be refined by making the second region of the support surface translucent in a further preferred embodiment of the system and the housing carrying a third light source which is directed from below onto the second region and has a significant radiation component in the infrared region and can optionally be switched on. As a result, not only the infrared reflection behavior but also the in- infrared transmission behavior of an object can be checked.
- the third light source additionally has a significant radiation component in the visible light range.
- conventional transmitted light observation of the object can also be carried out with the naked eye.
- a particularly inexpensive solution is obtained if a filament lamp is selected as the third light source.
- the support surface has a third area for supporting the object and for slidingly sliding it between the first, the second and the third area, the housing carrying a fourth light source which is directed from above onto the third area and has a significant radiation component in the ultraviolet range.
- the UV excitation behavior of fluorescent printing inks can be checked.
- the housing has a cover which is arranged above the flat surface and leaves at least one side opening for access to the support pool. This allows ambient light to be shielded from the test areas. It is particularly advantageous if the third area is located away from the opening, thereby reducing the risk of UV radiation escaping from the opening.
- the support surface is equipped in a fourth area with an inductive sensor.
- the presence of colors with magnetic or metallic particles can thereby be checked.

- the support surface 31 is spanned by a part of the housing 30 in the form of a cover 32, the cover 32 leaving a lateral opening in the drawing facing forward for access to the support surface 31.
- the bearing surface 31 comprises a plurality of areas 33 to 36 (indicated by dashed lines in the drawing), on which one (not shown) object can be supported or placed on. Since the support surface 31 passes from one area 33-36 to the next in a flush or flat manner, an object can be moved back and forth simply by moving it between the areas 33-36.
- the areas 31 to 36 do not necessarily have to be arranged next to one another, but can also partially or completely overlap, but there are certain preferences which are explained below.
- the device 1 can be designed as shown previously with the aid of FIGS. 1 to 5 (entire systems according to FIGS. 3 to 5 are also possible) and is therefore not shown further with the exception of its observer window 7.

- the fourth light source 45 is covered by a shielding plate 46 in order to prevent a direct view of the observer from the light source 45.
- the fourth light source 45 is preferably a gas discharge lamp. Such lamps require a certain amount of time to start up. In order to avoid waiting times during operation, the fourth light source 45 can be switched on continuously. This means that the third area 35 should be at a certain distance from the second area 34 in order to avoid image disturbances of the infrared camera 37 caused by flickering effects of the gas discharge lamp if the areas 34 and 35 overlap.
- a fourth region 36 which is equipped with an inductive sensor, is also formed on the support surface 31. With the help of this sensor, the presence or optionally also the arrangement of colors with magnetic or metallic particles can be detected. Indicator lights 47 are connected to the inductive sensor of the area 36 in order to optically display the sensor result. The sensor measurements could also be displayed on the monitor 40, or also displayed using the acoustic signal.
- test and evaluation devices assigned to the areas 33 to 36 can be in continuous operation after the system is switched on (apart from the condition that the light sources 41 and 43 should only be operated alternately), or the individual devices can be started up sequentially (apart from the preference that the ultra violet light source 45 should be in continuous operation).
- a single button 48 which triggers these control functions, and / or a rotary selector switch 49 can be used, for example.
- the devices and systems presented can be used for all types of objects and reflection or transmission scattering structures, for example also for kinegrams, incident light and transmitted light holograms etc. It is also possible to further evaluate the image presented in the observation window 7 by machine, for example by recording with a photographic camera or further processing with the aid of a CCD camera and subsequent image transfer, image evaluation, image processing and image archiving methods, as used in the technology nik are known. This further processing is also possible for the output signal of the infrared camera 37.
