DETECTION DEVICE AND MEASUREMENT APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240102928 titled 'DETECTION DEVICE AND MEASUREMENT APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a detection device with a holding block that accommodates a transparent tubular body using an optical sensor to detect the presence of the tubular body in the accommodating hole.
- The holding block holds a tubular body with a curved surface shape.
- An accommodating hole in the holding block accommodates the tubular body.
- An optical sensor emits detection light to determine if the tubular body is in the accommodating hole.
- The optical path of the detection light has a tunnel structure covered with a wall surface, with low light reflectivity.
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in:
- Industrial automation for detecting the presence of objects in specific locations.
- Quality control processes to ensure proper assembly of components.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of accurately detecting the presence of a tubular body in a specific location, even with curved surfaces.
Benefits
- Improved accuracy in detecting the presence of objects.
- Enhanced efficiency in automated processes.

Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to optical sensors for object detection in industrial settings, but specific examples are not provided in the abstract.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology compare to traditional object detection methods?
This technology offers a more precise and reliable method for detecting the presence of tubular bodies in specific locations compared to traditional methods that may rely on manual inspection or less advanced sensors.
What are the limitations of this technology in terms of detecting different types of tubular bodies?
The abstract does not specify the range of tubular bodies that can be accurately detected using this technology, so it is unclear if there are limitations based on size, material, or other factors.
Original Abstract Submitted
a detection device including: a holding block that holds a transparent tubular body having a curved surface shape; an accommodating hole that is formed in the holding block and in which the tubular body is inserted and accommodated; an optical sensor that includes a light projecting unit which emits detection light for detecting whether or not the tubular body is accommodated in the accommodating hole and a light receiving unit which receives the detection light; and an optical path of the detection light that has a tunnel structure covered with a wall surface, the optical path linearly extending inside the holding block in a direction intersecting with the accommodating hole and being formed at a position away from a radial center of the accommodating hole, in which a wall surface of the accommodating hole and a wall surface of the optical path have a light reflectivity of 30% or less.
