Abstract:
An abnormality detection device for a container stack determines stacking abnormality in a container stack on a conveyance path. A plurality of containers, each including a code display surface having container information recorded at a fixed position on a lateral outer surface thereof, are stacked with the code display surfaces positioned on the same side, thereby forming a container stack. A code reader that captures an image of the code display surface is arranged on a lateral side of the conveyance path, said conveyance path conveying the container stack with the code display surfaces oriented parallel to the conveyance direction. Read data from the code reader is input into a calculation processor that detects the position coordinate value of at least one fixed point on each of the code display surfaces and determines stacking abnormality in the container stack.

Claim (Index 2):
The abnormality detection device for a container stack according to  claim 1 , wherein:\n the calculation processing means calculates, from the position coordinate value of the one fixed point in the code display surface in each of the containers, a positional displacement amount between the respective containers in the conveyance direction; the calculation processing means calculates whether or not the positional displacement amount falls within an allowable range; and the calculation processing means determines the stacking abnormality when the positional displacement amount exceeds the allowable range.
