Description

本発明は、マンゴーやアボガドなどの大きな種を有する農産物等の測定対象物の内部品質を判定する内部品質判定システムに関する。 The present invention relates to an internal quality determination system for determining the internal quality of a measurement target such as agricultural products having large species such as mango and avocado.

測定対象物に光を照射して内部透過光を受光し、この透過光を分光処理して測定対象物の内部品質を判定する内部品質判定システムは、公知である。 2. Description of the Related Art An internal quality determination system that determines the internal quality of an object to be measured by irradiating the object to be measured with light and receiving the internal transmitted light and spectrally processing the transmitted light is known.

例えば、下記特許文献1には、内部品質計測箇所を通過するように被計測物を搬送する搬送手段と、内部品質計測箇所において被計測物を横断するように光を照射する投光部及び横断方向に透過した光を受光する受光部を有する投受光手段と、前記投受光手段にて受光した光に基づいて被計測物の内部品質を解析する制御手段とを備えた内部品質判定システムにおいて、前記内部品質計測箇所より搬送方向上流側の外観検査計測箇所において被計測物の外観情報を検出する外観検出手段を設け、前記制御装置が、前記外観検出手段による被計測物の大きさ情報に基づいて、前記投受光手段によって被計測物の内部品質情報を検出する際の検出条件を調整するように構成することが提案されている。 For example, in Patent Document 1 below, a conveyance unit that conveys an object to be measured so as to pass through an internal quality measurement point, a light projecting unit that radiates light so as to cross the object at an internal quality measurement point, and a crossing In an internal quality determination system including a light emitting and receiving means having a light receiving portion for receiving light transmitted in a direction, and a control means for analyzing the internal quality of the object to be measured based on the light received by the light emitting and receiving means, Appearance detection means for detecting appearance information of an object to be measured is provided at an appearance inspection measurement point on the upstream side in the transport direction from the internal quality measurement point, and the control device is based on size information of the object to be measured by the appearance detection means. Thus, it has been proposed to adjust the detection condition when detecting the internal quality information of the object to be measured by the light emitting and receiving means.

具体的には、前記特許文献1には、前記検出条件の調整として、前記投受光手段が被計測物の内部品質情報を検出する際の投受光量を調整すること(以下、第1の調整という)、及び/又は、前記投受光部が被計測物の内部品質情報を検出する際の前記投光部及び前記受光部と被計測物との相対位置を調整すること(以下、第2の調整という)が記載されてる。 Specifically, in Patent Document 1, as an adjustment of the detection condition, an amount of light emitted and received when the light emitting and receiving means detects internal quality information of the object to be measured is adjusted (hereinafter, referred to as a first adjustment. And/or adjusting the relative positions of the light emitting unit and the light receiving unit and the measured object when the light emitting and receiving unit detects the internal quality information of the measured object (hereinafter referred to as the second Adjustment).

しかしながら、前記特許文献1に記載の内部品質判定システムにおいては、被計測物がマンゴーやアボガドなどの大きな種を有する場合には、前記種の影響で被計測物の内部品質を正確に判定できないという問題があった。 However, in the internal quality determination system described in Patent Document 1, when the object to be measured has large species such as mango and avocado, it is impossible to accurately determine the internal quality of the object to be measured due to the influence of the species. There was a problem.

詳しくは、前記第1の調整は、被計測物が大きくなるほど透過光の光量が少なくなることを考慮して、被計測物が大きいほど投光部による投光強度を大きくするものである。 More specifically, in consideration of the fact that the larger the object to be measured is, the smaller the amount of transmitted light is, the first adjustment is to increase the light projection intensity of the light projecting unit as the object to be measured is larger.

しかしながら、この第1の調整は、被計測物が大きな種を有することを想定しておらず、従って、被計測物が大きな種を有する場合には、前記投光部から被計測物の大きさに応じた的確な光量の光を被計測物に照射させたとしても、前記光のうちの多くが被計測物の種によって遮断されることになり、その結果、前記受光部には十分な光量の光が届かないことが起こり得る。 However, this first adjustment does not assume that the object to be measured has a large seed. Therefore, when the object to be measured has a large seed, the size of the object to be measured from the light projecting unit is increased. Even if the object to be measured is irradiated with an appropriate amount of light, most of the light will be blocked by the species of the object to be measured, and as a result, the light receiving unit will have a sufficient amount of light. It is possible that the light of the light does not reach.

また、前記第2の調整は、被計測物の大きさに応じて、投光部及び受光部を一体的に移動させることにより、被計測物の大きさに拘わらず、投光部から被計測部に照射され、被計測物を透過した透過光が受光部によって受光されるようにしたものである。 In the second adjustment, the light projecting unit and the light receiving unit are integrally moved according to the size of the object to be measured, so that the object to be measured can be measured from the light projecting unit regardless of the size of the object to be measured. The light received by the light receiving part is transmitted to the part and transmitted through the object to be measured.

しかしながら、この第2の調整も、被計測物が大きな種を有することを想定しておらず、従って、被計測物が大きな種を有する場合には、前記投光部からの光が被計測物には的確に照射されるものの、被計測物の内部に侵入した光の多くが被計測物の種によって遮断されることになり、その結果、前記受光部には十分な光量の光が届かないことが起こり得る。 However, this second adjustment also does not assume that the object to be measured has a large seed, and therefore, when the object to be measured has a large seed, the light from the light projecting unit causes the light to be measured. However, most of the light that has entered the inside of the object to be measured is blocked by the species of the object to be measured, and as a result, a sufficient amount of light does not reach the light receiving part. Can happen.

また、下記特許文献2には、内部品質計測箇所を通過するように被計測物を搬送する搬送手段と、内部品質計測箇所において前記搬送手段の下方から被計測物へ向けて光を照射する投光部と、被計測物を透過した光を受光する受光部と、前記受光部にて受光した光に基づいて被計測物の内部品質を解析する制御手段とを備えた内部品質判定システムにおいて、前記内部品質計測箇所より搬送方向上流側の大きさ計測箇所において被計測物の大きさを検出する大きさ検出手段と、前記投光部及び被計測物の間に配置されたチョッピング手段とを備え、前記受光部は前記チョッピング手段のチョッピング周波数に同期した受光タイミングで被計測物からの透過光を受光し積算するように構成され、前記制御装置が、前記大きさ検出手段によって検出される被計測物の大きさに応じて前記受光手段の受光回数を決定するように構成することが開示されている。 Further, in Patent Document 2 below, a conveyance unit that conveys an object to be measured so as to pass through an internal quality measurement point, and a projection that irradiates light to the object to be measured from below the conveyance unit at the internal quality measurement point. In an internal quality determination system including an optical unit, a light receiving unit that receives light transmitted through the measured object, and a control unit that analyzes the internal quality of the measured object based on the light received by the light receiving unit, A size detecting means for detecting the size of the object to be measured at a size measuring point on the upstream side in the transport direction from the internal quality measuring point, and a chopping means arranged between the light projecting section and the object to be measured. The light receiving unit is configured to receive and integrate the transmitted light from the object to be measured at a light receiving timing synchronized with the chopping frequency of the chopping unit, and the control device detects the object to be measured detected by the size detecting unit. It is disclosed that the number of times of light reception of the light receiving means is determined according to the size of an object.

前記特許文献2に記載の内部品質判定システムは、被計測物が大きい場合には透過量が少なくなることに鑑み、被計測物が大きい場合には前記受光手段による受光積算時間を長くしてS/N比を向上させ、被計測物が小さい場合には前記受光手段による受光積算時間を短くして被計測物周辺からの直接反射光の混入を避けようとするものである。 In view of the fact that the amount of transmitted light decreases when the object to be measured is large, the internal quality determination system described in Patent Document 2 increases the light reception integration time by the light receiving means when the object to be measured is large, and S When the object to be measured is small, the /N ratio is improved, and the light receiving integration time by the light receiving means is shortened to avoid mixing of directly reflected light from the periphery of the object to be measured.

前記特許文献2には、前記受光部の受光光軸が前記投光部からの投光光軸に対して傾斜されている形態が図示されているが、前記特許文献2も、被計測物の種による内部品質判定の精度劣化については何ら考慮されていない。 Although Patent Document 2 shows a configuration in which the light receiving optical axis of the light receiving unit is inclined with respect to the light projecting optical axis from the light projecting unit, the Patent Document 2 also describes the object to be measured. No consideration is given to the deterioration of the accuracy of the internal quality judgment due to the species.

For example, it is assumed that the measurement object having the size “large” (hereinafter, referred to as the first measurement object 300(1)) reaches the size detection area 10B.
In this case, the control device 100 determines that the size of the first measurement object 300(1) is “large” based on the size information from the size detection unit.

なお、前記制御装置100は、前記第1測定対象物300(1)が前記大きさ検出領域10Bに到達したことを、例えば、大きさ検出領域用位置センサ111(図1参照)からの信号によって認識する。 The control device 100 indicates that the first measurement object 300(1) has reached the size detection area 10B, for example, by a signal from the size detection area position sensor 111 (see FIG. 1). recognize.

この場合において、前記第1測定対象物300(1)が前記搬送部10によって前記内部品質検出領域10Cに到達したことを検知すると、前記制御装置100は、前記受光部35を前記受光位置データに基づき把握される「大」用受光位置に位置させた状態で前記受光部35からの内部品質情報を入力し、このようにして入力した内部品質情報に基づき前記第1測定対象物300(1)の内部品質判定を行う。 In this case, when it is detected that the first measurement object 300(1) has reached the internal quality detection region 10C by the transport unit 10, the control device 100 sets the light receiving unit 35 to the light receiving position data. The internal quality information from the light receiving unit 35 is input in the state of being positioned at the “large” light receiving position grasped based on the above, and the first measurement object 300(1) is input based on the internal quality information thus input. To determine the internal quality of

なお、前記制御装置100は、前記第1測定対象物300(1)が前記内部品質検出領域10Cに到達したことを、例えば、内部品質検出領域用位置センサ112(図1参照)からの信号、若しくは、前記大きさ検出領域10Bを通過したタイミングからの経過時間及び前記搬送部10の搬送速度によって認識することができる。 The control device 100 indicates that the first measurement object 300(1) has reached the internal quality detection area 10C, for example, a signal from the internal quality detection area position sensor 112 (see FIG. 1), Alternatively, it can be recognized by the elapsed time from the timing when the size detection area 10B is passed and the transport speed of the transport unit 10.

ここで、「大」用受光位置は、前記受光部35の視野範囲35Vが、大きさ「大」の第1測定対象物300(1)に対して、種310を避けつつ、可及的に大きな内部領域をカバーし得るように設定される(図2参照)。 Here, at the “large” light receiving position, the visual field range 35V of the light receiving unit 35 is as much as possible while avoiding the seed 310 with respect to the first measurement object 300(1) having the size “large”. It is set to cover a large interior area (see Figure 2).

即ち、「大」用受光位置は、大きさ「大」の第1測定対象物300(1)からの透過光をできるだけ多く受光し得る位置とされる。
この「大」用受光位置は、実験等によって定められる。
That is, the “large” light receiving position is a position that can receive as much transmitted light as possible from the “large” first measurement target 300(1).
The "large" light receiving position is determined by experiments or the like.

一方、大きさ「小」の測定対象物300(以下、第2測定対象物300(2)という)が前記大きさ検出領域10Bに到達した場合には、前記制御装置100は、前記大きさ検出部からの大きさ情報に基づき前記第2測定対象物300(2)の大きさを「小」と判断する。 On the other hand, when the measurement object 300 having the size “small” (hereinafter, referred to as the second measurement object 300(2)) reaches the size detection area 10B, the control device 100 causes the size detection to be performed. The size of the second measurement object 300(2) is determined to be "small" based on the size information from the part.

この場合において、前記第2測定対象物300(2)が前記搬送部10によって前記内部品質検出領域10Cに到達したことを検知すると、前記制御装置100は、前記受光部35を前記受光位置データに基づき決定される「小」用受光位置に位置させた状態で前記受光部35からの内部品質情報を入力し、このようにして入力した内部品質情報に基づき前記第2測定対象物300(2)の内部品質判定を行う。 In this case, when it is detected that the second measurement object 300(2) has reached the internal quality detection region 10C by the transport unit 10, the control device 100 sets the light receiving unit 35 to the light receiving position data. The internal quality information from the light receiving unit 35 is input in the state of being positioned at the “small” light receiving position determined based on the above, and the second measurement object 300(2) is input based on the thus input internal quality information. To determine the internal quality of

ここで、「小」用受光位置は、前記受光部35の視野範囲35Vが、大きさ「小」の第2測定対象物300(2)に対して、種310を避けつつ、可及的に大きな内部領域をカバーし得るように、実験等によって設定される。 Here, at the “small” light receiving position, the visual field range 35V of the light receiving unit 35 is as much as possible while avoiding the seed 310 with respect to the second measurement object 300 (2) having the size “small”. It is set experimentally so that a large internal area can be covered.

図3に、大きさ「小」の第2測定対象物300(2)が内部品質検出領域10Cに位置されている状態の、図1におけるII-II線に沿った模式縦断面図を示す。
図3において、「大」用受光位置に位置された状態の前記受光部35を実線で且つその際の視野範囲35Vを破線で示し、「小」用受光位置に位置された状態の前記受光部35及びその際の視野範囲35Vを二点鎖線で示している。
FIG. 3 shows a schematic vertical cross-sectional view taken along the line II-II in FIG. 1 in a state where the second measurement target 300(2) having the size “small” is located in the internal quality detection region 10C.
In FIG. 3, the light receiving unit 35 in the state of being positioned at the “large” light receiving position is indicated by a solid line and the visual field range 35V at that time is shown by a broken line, and the light receiving unit in the state of being positioned at the “small” light receiving position. 35 and the field-of-view range 35V in that case are shown by the two-dot chain line.

図3に示すように、前記受光部35が「大」用受光位置に位置された状態のままで、大きさ「小」の第2測定対象物300(2)から透過光を受光する場合には、前記受光部35の視野範囲35V(破線参照)中に、当該第2測定対象物300(2)の種310が含まれることになる。
従って、前記受光部35によって受光可能な第2測定対象物300(2)の透過光量が少なくなり、当該第2測定対象物300(2)の内部品質判定を精度良く行うことが困難になる。
As shown in FIG. 3, when the transmitted light is received from the second measurement object 300 (2) having the size “small” while the light receiving unit 35 remains in the light receiving position for “large”. Means that the seed 310 of the second measurement object 300(2) is included in the visual field range 35V (see the broken line) of the light receiving unit 35.
Therefore, the amount of transmitted light of the second measurement object 300(2) that can be received by the light receiving unit 35 decreases, and it becomes difficult to accurately determine the internal quality of the second measurement object 300(2).

この点に鑑み、本実施の形態においては、大きさ「小」の第2測定対象物300(2)が前記内部品質検出領域10Cに到達すると、前記制御装置100は、前記移動機構40によって前記受光部35を「小」用受光位置(図3の二点鎖線参照)に移動させた上で、第2測定対象物300(2)からの透過光を受光する。 In view of this point, in the present embodiment, when the second measuring object 300 (2) having the size “small” reaches the internal quality detection region 10C, the control device 100 causes the moving mechanism 40 to perform the above-mentioned operation. The light receiving unit 35 is moved to the “small” light receiving position (see the chain double-dashed line in FIG. 3), and then the transmitted light from the second measurement object 300(2) is received.

従って、図3に示すように、前記受光部35が第2測定対象物300(2)の透過光を可及的に多く受光することができ、当該第2測定対象物300(2)の内部品質判定を精度良く行うことが可能となる。
なお、図示の形態においては、「小」用受光位置は、「大」用受光位置に比して投光光軸に沿って下方へLだけ移動された位置とされている。
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, the light receiving unit 35 can receive as much transmitted light of the second measurement object 300(2) as possible, and the inside of the second measurement object 300(2) can be received. It is possible to accurately determine quality.
In the illustrated embodiment, the “small” light receiving position is a position that is moved downward by L along the projection optical axis as compared with the “large” light receiving position.

このように、本実施の形態に係る前記内部品質判定システム1Aによれば、前記受光部35を所定方向(本実施の形態のおいては上下方向)に移動させるという極めて簡単な構成でありながら、前記受光部35が種々の大きさの測定対象物300に対して可及的に多くの透過光を受光することを可能とすることができ、測定対象物300の内部品質の精度を向上させることができる。 As described above, according to the internal quality determination system 1A according to the present embodiment, the light receiving unit 35 is moved in a predetermined direction (vertical direction in the present embodiment), which is a very simple structure. It is possible to allow the light receiving unit 35 to receive as much transmitted light as possible with respect to the measuring objects 300 of various sizes, and improve the accuracy of the internal quality of the measuring objects 300. be able to.

なお、前記受光部35の移動方向である前記所定方向を、投光光軸に沿った上下方向に代えて、前記受光部35の受光光軸方向とすることも可能である。

Embodiment 2
Hereinafter, another embodiment of the internal quality determination system according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 8 shows a schematic plan view of the internal quality determination system 2A according to the present embodiment.
In the drawings, the same members as those in the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be appropriately omitted.

本実施の形態に係る内部品質判定システム2Aは、前記投光部31が測定対象物300より搬送幅方向一方側から当該測定対象物300に向けて測定光を投光するように配置され、前記受光部35が前記測定対象物300より搬送幅方向他方側において当該測定対象物300からの透過光を受光するように配置されている点において、前記実施の形態1に係る内部品質判定システム1Aと相違している。 The internal quality determination system 2A according to the present embodiment is arranged so that the light projecting unit 31 projects the measurement light toward the measurement object 300 from one side in the conveyance width direction of the measurement object 300. In the internal quality determination system 1A according to the first embodiment, the light receiving unit 35 is arranged on the other side of the measurement target 300 in the conveyance width direction so as to receive the transmitted light from the measurement target 300. It's different.

図9及び図10に、それぞれ、大きさ「大」の前記第1測定対象物300(1)及び大きさ「小」の前記第2測定対象物300(2)が前記内部品質検出領域10Cに位置されている状態の、当該内部品質検出領域10Cの模式横断面図を示す。 9 and 10, the first measurement object 300(1) having the size "large" and the second measurement object 300(2) having the size "small" are present in the internal quality detection region 10C, respectively. The schematic cross-sectional view of the said internal quality detection area|region 10C in the state where it is located is shown.

図9は、前記受光部35が大きさ「大」の前記第1測定対象物300(1)に応じて、「大」用受光位置に位置された状態を示しており、その際の視野範囲35Vを破線で示している。 FIG. 9 shows a state in which the light receiving unit 35 is positioned at the “large” light receiving position in accordance with the first measurement object 300(1) having the size “large”, and the visual field range at that time. 35V is indicated by a broken line.

一方、図9は、前記受光部35が「大」用受光位置に位置されたままの状態を実線で且つその際の視野範囲35Vを破線で示し、前記受光部35が「小」用受光位置に位置された状態及びその際の視野範囲35Vを二点鎖線で示している。 On the other hand, FIG. 9 shows a state in which the light receiving unit 35 is still positioned at the “large” light receiving position with a solid line and a visual field range 35V at that time with a broken line. The state of being positioned at and the field-of-view range 35V at that time are indicated by a two-dot chain line.

本実施の形態においては、前記第1受光部35(1)は、搬送幅方向に関しては測定対象物300を挟んで前記投光部31とは反対側で且つ搬送方向に関しては測定対象物300の搬送方向中心から上流側に変位された状態で、受光光軸35(1)Xが搬送幅方向を基準にして搬送方向下流側へ前記所定角度αだけ傾斜するように配置されている。 In the present embodiment, the first light receiving unit 35(1) is on the opposite side of the light projecting unit 31 with respect to the measurement object 300 in the conveyance width direction and in the conveyance direction. The light receiving optical axis 35(1)X is arranged so as to be inclined to the downstream side in the transport direction by the predetermined angle α with the transport width direction as a reference in a state of being displaced from the center in the transport direction to the upstream side.

一方、前記第2受光部35(2)は、搬送幅方向に関しては測定対象物300を挟んで前記投光部31とは反対側で且つ搬送方向に関しては測定対象物300の搬送方向中心から下流側に変位された状態で、受光光軸35(2)Xが搬送幅方向を基準にして搬送方向上流側へ前記所定角度αだけ傾斜するように配置されている。 On the other hand, the second light receiving unit 35(2) is on the opposite side of the light projecting unit 31 with the measurement object 300 sandwiched in the conveyance width direction, and downstream in the conveyance direction from the conveyance direction center of the measurement object 300. The light receiving optical axis 35(2)X is disposed so as to be inclined toward the upstream side in the transport direction by the predetermined angle α with the transport width direction as a reference in a state of being displaced to the side.

本実施の形態においては、前記移動機構40によって前記受光部35が移動可能とされる前記所定方向は搬送幅方向とされている。 In the present embodiment, the predetermined direction in which the light receiving unit 35 can be moved by the moving mechanism 40 is the conveyance width direction.

詳しくは、大きさ「大」の第1測定対象物300(1)の場合には、前記制御装置100は、図9に示すように、前記受光部35が「大」用受光位置に位置するように前記移動機構40を作動させる。 Specifically, in the case of the first measurement object 300(1) having the size “large”, in the control device 100, the light receiving unit 35 is located at the “large” light receiving position, as shown in FIG. 9. Thus, the moving mechanism 40 is operated.

ここで、「大」用受光位置は、前記受光部35の視野範囲35V内に第1測定対象物300(1)の種が入り込むことを防止しつつ、第1測定対象物300(1)からの透過光を可及的多く受光可能な位置とされる。 Here, the “large” light receiving position is from the first measurement object 300(1) while preventing the seeds of the first measurement object 300(1) from entering the visual field range 35V of the light receiving unit 35. It is set at a position where as much transmitted light as possible can be received.

一方、大きさ「小」の第2測定対象物300(2)に対して前記受光部35を「大」用受光位置(図10の実線参照)に位置させたままの状態とすると、前記受光部35の視野範囲35V(図10の破線参照)のうち前記第2測定対象物300(2)から外れる領域が広がり、第2測定対象物300(2)からの透過光の受光量が減少する。 On the other hand, when the light receiving unit 35 is left at the “large” light receiving position (see the solid line in FIG. 10) with respect to the second measurement target 300 (2) having the size “small”, the light receiving is performed. A region out of the second measurement target 300(2) in the visual field range 35V of the portion 35 (see the broken line in FIG. 10) expands, and the amount of transmitted light received from the second measurement target 300(2) decreases. ..

そこで、本実施の形態においては、測定対象物300の大きさが「小」であると判断した場合には、前記制御装置100は、前記受光部35が「小」用受光位置(図10の二点鎖線参照)へ移動するように前記移動機構40を作動させる。 Therefore, in the present embodiment, when it is determined that the size of the measurement object 300 is “small”, the control device 100 causes the light receiving unit 35 to receive the “small” light receiving position (see FIG. 10). The moving mechanism 40 is operated so as to move to the two-dot chain line).

ここで、「小」用受光位置(図10の二点鎖線参照)は、前記受光部35の視野範囲35V(図10の二点鎖線参照)内に第2測定対象物300(2)の種が存在しないようにしつつ、前記受光部35が第2測定対象物300(2)からの透過光を可及的多く受光し得る位置とされる。
なお、本実施の形態においては、図10に示すように、「小」用受光位置は、「大」用受光位置に比して搬送幅方向に関し測定対象物300から離間する方向へLだけ移動された位置とされている。
Here, the light receiving position for “small” (see the chain double-dashed line in FIG. 10) is the seed of the second measurement object 300(2) within the visual field range 35V of the light receiving unit 35 (see the chain double-dashed line in FIG. 10). Is set so that the light receiving section 35 can receive as much transmitted light from the second measurement object 300(2) as possible.
Note that, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, the “small” light receiving position moves by L in the direction away from the measuring object 300 in the transport width direction as compared with the “large” light receiving position. It is supposed to be the position.

このように、本実施の形態に係る前記内部品質判定システム2Aによれば、前記受光部35を所定方向(本実施の形態のおいては投光光軸に沿った搬送幅方向)に移動させるという極めて簡単な構成で、種々の大きさの測定対象物300に対して前記受光部35が可及的多くの透過光を受光することを可能とし、種々の大きさの測定対象物300の内部品質の精度を向上させることができる。 As described above, according to the internal quality determination system 2A according to the present embodiment, the light receiving unit 35 is moved in the predetermined direction (the carrying width direction along the light projecting optical axis in the present embodiment). With such an extremely simple configuration, the light receiving unit 35 can receive as much transmitted light as possible for the measurement objects 300 of various sizes, and the inside of the measurement objects 300 of various sizes can be obtained. The accuracy of quality can be improved.

なお、前記受光部35の移動方向である前記所定方向を、搬送幅方向に代えて、前記受光軸35の受光光軸方向とすることも可能である。
