RESIN DISTINGUISHING APPARATUS AND RESIN DISTINGUISHING METHOD
A resin discrimination device for discriminating a first resin part from a resin molded article ( 2 ) having the first resin part as a substrate and a surface member formed on the surface of the first resin part includes a hardness determination part ( 6 ) for tearing the surface member, contacting the surface of the first resin part and detecting a hardness of the first resin part.
1 . A resin discrimination device for discriminating a first resin part from a resin molded article having the first resin part as a substrate and a surface member formed on the surface of the first resin part, the device comprising:
a hardness determination part for breaking through the surface member, contacting the surface of the first resin part and detecting a hardness of the first resin part.
2 . The device according to claim 1 , further comprising a first discrimination part for discriminating a type of the first resin part, based on the hardness of the first resin part measured by the hardness determination part.
3 . The device according to claim 1 , further comprising a point load part for applying point load to the surface of the first resin part.
4 . The device according to claim 2 , wherein the point load part forms an impact mark on the surface of the first resin part.
5 . The device according to claim 3 , wherein the point load part further comprises a second discrimination part for detecting an impact given by the point load part and discriminating a type of the first resin part.
6 . The device according to claim 3 , wherein the point load part is identical to the hard determination part.
7 . A resin discrimination method for discriminating a first resin part from a resin molded article having the first resin part as a substrate and a surface member formed on the surface of the first resin part, the method comprising:
an impacting step of breaking through the surface member;
a contacting step of contacting the surface of the first resin part after the impacting step; and
a hardness determining step of determining a hardness of the surface of the first resin part contacted in the contacting step.
8 . The method according to claim 7 , further comprising a first discriminating step of discriminating a type of the first resin part based on the hardness of the first resin part measured in the hardness determining step.
9 . The method according to claim 7 , further comprising a point loading step of applying point load to the surface of the first resin part.
10 . The method according to claim 7 , wherein the point load step further comprises a second discriminating step of detecting impact given by the point load part and discriminating a type of the first resin part.
11 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the point loading step is operated after measuring a hardness of the first resin part in the hardness determining step.
12 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the point loading step is operated after the hardness determination that detects a hardness of the surface of the first resin part in the hardness determining step.
13 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the point loading step is coincident with the hardness determining step.
