Abstract
In order to capture an image of polysilicon, polysilicon varying in shape and/or size is inverted. An inversion device (3) includes: a first sandwiching part (31) including a first elastically deforming part (311) that elastically deforms; a second sandwiching part (32) including a second elastically deforming part (321) that elastically deforms; and an inversion mechanism (33A, 33B) that, for capturing of an image of polysilicon (S), inverts the polysilicon (S) in a sandwiched state in which the polysilicon (S) is sandwiched between the first elastically deforming part (311) and the second elastically deforming part (321).
Claims11
An inversion device, comprising:
- a first sandwiching part including a first elastically deforming part that elastically deforms;
- a second sandwiching part including a second elastically deforming part that elastically deforms;
- and
- an inversion mechanism that, in order to capture an image of a crushed piece of polysilicon, inverts the crushed piece of polysilicon in a sandwiched state in which the crushed piece of polysilicon is sandwiched between the first elastically deforming part and the second elastically deforming part.
The inversion device as set forth in claim wherein the first buffer material and the second buffer material each have a 40% compression hardness of not less than 20 N and not more than 80 N.
An image capturing device, comprising:
- a first sandwiching part including a first elastically deforming part that elastically deforms;
- a second sandwiching part including a second elastically deforming part that elastically deforms;
- an inversion mechanism that inverts a crushed piece of polysilicon in a sandwiched state in which the crushed piece of polysilicon is sandwiched between the first elastically deforming part and the second elastically deforming part;
- and
- an image capturing part capable of capturing an image of the crushed piece of polysilicon inverted by the inversion mechanism.
The image capturing device as set forth in claim wherein a plurality of image capturing parts are provided in order to make it possible to capture an image of the crushed piece of polysilicon from a plurality of directions, each of the plurality of image capturing parts being the image capturing part.
An inversion method, comprising:
- a sandwiching step of sandwiching a crushed piece of polysilicon between a first elastically deforming part that is included in a first sandwiching part and elastically deforms and a second elastically deforming part that is included in a second sandwiching part and elastically deforms;
- and
- an inversion step of, in order to capture an image of the crushed piece of polysilicon, inverting the crushed piece of polysilicon in a sandwiched state in which the crushed piece of polysilicon is sandwiched by the sandwiching step.
An image capturing method, comprising:
- a sandwiching step of sandwiching a crushed piece of polysilicon between a first elastically deforming part that is included in a first sandwiching part and elastically deforms and a second elastically deforming part that is included in a second sandwiching part and elastically deforms;
- an inversion step of inverting the crushed piece of polysilicon in a sandwiched state in which the crushed piece of polysilicon is sandwiched by the sandwiching step;
- and
- an image capturing step of capturing an image of the crushed piece of polysilicon inverted by the inversion step.
