Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to photographic photosensitive solution manufacturing method and apparatus for practicing such a method. More particularly, the invention relates to a method for mixing Ag⁺ and X⁻ solutions to produce crystals of silver halide emulsion in a photographic photosensitive solution manufacturing process, and to an apparatus for practicing such a method.
- Examples of a conventional method for adding Ag⁺ and X⁻ solutions to produces crystals of silver halide emulsion in a photographic photosensitive solution manufacturing process and a conventional apparatus for practicing such a method include a method and apparatus in which the addition is controlled by means of a pump (see, for instance, U.S. Pats. No. 4,147,551 and 4,251,627) and a method and apparatus in which the addition is controlled by means of a control valve (see, for instance, U.S. Pats. Nos. 3,692,283, 3,897,935, 3,999,048, 4,026,668 and 4,031,912).
- However, the method in which the addition is controlled by means of a pump suffers from the following difficulties:
- (1) In a batch-type process, after addition, some expensive Ag⁺ solution must be left in the tank and pipes in order to prevent idling of the pump. That is, all the prepared solution cannot be used.
- (2) When Ag⁺ solution is supplied with the pump, Ag will deposit, for instance, on the sealed parts of the pump, thus obstructing the operation of the same.
- (3) The pulsation of the pump adversely affects the formation of particles. Therefore, the resultant emulsion particles tend to greatly vary in size and shape.
- (4) In the case where various different solutions are to be manufactured on a small scale, requisite cleaning of the apparatus takes a significantly long time.
- On the other hand, the method and apparatus in which addition is controlled by means of a control valve is disadvantageous in the following points:
- (1) The diaphragm control valve generally used in such a method and apparatus generally has a low flow control accuracy, which causes the resultant emulsion particles to vary widely in size and shape.
- (2) To manufacture a variety of different photosensitive solutions, the flow rate must be changed. However, since the relation of the flow rate to the degree of valve opening is not linear, it is difficult to maintain ideal control conditions.
- (3) Because the diaphragm control valve is particularly low in flow control accuracy near the fully opened and fully closed positions, the flow control range is limited. Therefore, in order to be able to manufacture a variety of different photosensitive solutions, it is necessary to provide a plurality of diaphragm valves of different sizes. This adversely affects the overall system design, space utilization, and load of control.
- Accordingly, an object of the invention is to eliminate the above-described difficulties. More specifically, an object of the invention is to provide a photographic photosensitive solution manufacturing method and apparatus in which Ag⁺ and X⁻solutions are added together and by which a variety of different photosensitive solutions can be manufactured, the equipment can be easily operated, and flow control valves employed in the apparatus are capable of controlling the addition of Ag⁺ and X⁻ in such a manner as to manufacture silver halide emulsion crystals uniform both in size and shape.
- The foregoing and other objects of the invention have been achieved by the provision of a photographing photosensitive solution manufacturing method and apparatus in which respective flow control valves for controlling the flow rates of Ag⁺ and X⁻solutions are controlled according to a specified flow rate or pAg potential program and in response to output signals from respective flow meters or pAg potentiometers, and in which, according to the invention, the flow control valves are motor-controlled flow control valves for which the rate of change of flow rate with valve stroke is small and linear.

- Fig. 1 illustrates schematically a photographic photosensitive solution manufacturing method and apparatus according to the present invention;
- Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional side view of a flow control valve used in the manufacturing method and apparatus illustrated in Fig. 1;
- Fig. 3 is an enlarged side view showing the valve head of the flow control valve of Fig. 2; and

- Fig. 1 illustrates schematically a photographic photosensitive solution manufacturing method and apparatus according to the present invention. The apparatus includes a raw
material storage tank 10 containing Ag⁺ solution prepared in advance, a rawmaterial storage tank 11 containing an X⁻ solution also prepared in advance,flow control valves flow meters stop valves 14a and 14b connected to pipes extending from the respective rawmaterial storage tanks precipitation vessel 16 which receives the Ag⁺ and X⁻ solutions from the rawmaterial storage tanks controller 15 which receives feedback signals from theflow meters pAg potentiometer 17 mounted in theprecipitation vessel 16 and in response controls theflow control valves - Each of the
flow control valves flow control valves elongated valve head 21 in avalve casing 22, thevalve head 21 having a stroke H which completely disengages thevalve head 21 from itsvalve seat 23. Thevalve head 21 is moved by aservo motor 24. - Rotational motion of the
motor 24 is transmitted through afeed screw mechanism 23 to a coupling plate 25 so as to move the latter up and down. The coupling plate 25 is connected to the valve shaft 26. Therefore, the valve shaft 26 is moved up and down as the coupling plate is moved up and down. The cylindrically or conicallyshaped valve head 21 formed on a circular truncated cone which tapers towards the outlet of the valve is positioned on the outlet side of the valve casing. - As shown by a curve c in Fig. 4, the rate of change of the flow rate with the valve stroke measured between the
valve head 21 and thevalve seat 23 is small and linear. The opening stroke of the valve takes place in the long inlet side of the valve casing, thus allowing thevalve seat 23 to be made large. Thevalve head 21 is moved by theservo motor 24, as has been previously described. - With the previously prepared Ag⁺ and X⁻ solutions filled in their
respective storage tanks flow control valves flow meters pAg potentiometer 17. In each of theflow control valves valve head 21 is lifted by the servo motor 24 (having the valve characteristic curve c in Fig. 4). It should be noted that the flow valve used in the practice of the invention has a flow control range about fifty times as large and has a smaller and more linear rate of change of flow rate with valve stroke compared with conventional valves, characteristics of which are indicated by a and b in Fig. 4. - The prepared Ag⁺ and X⁻ solutions are held at the
respective stop valves 14a and 14b before the start of addition, while theflow control valves flow control valves - In response to an addition start signal, the
stop valves 14a and 14b are opened, thus starting the addition operation. Theflow meters controller 15. Thecontroller 15 compares the fed-back values with the set values, and controls theflow control valves controller 15 may receive the pAg potential output signal from thepAg potentiometer 17 and control theflow control valves - In the above-described flow control valves, the flow control range from the fully closed position of the valves to the fully opened position is wide since the valve structure produces a very low resistance to the fluid flow, and because the valve stroke is long, the configuration of the valve head allows the flow rate to change linearly with the valve stroke. Therefore, even an extremely small flow change can be precisely controlled. Furthermore, since a servo motor is employed for lifting the valve head, valve control can be achieved easily and quickly. Therefore, the flow control program can be implemented precisely and quickly, and for production of a variety of photographic photosensitive solutions, the silver halide emulsion crystals can be made to have a uniform size and shape.
- Specific examples of the invention will now be described.
- To compare a conventional pump-operated addition control method and apparatus with the present invention, comparison tests were carried out with the following prescription:
- Distilled water 248 liters
Gelatin 6 kg 50°C
- Distilled water 80 liters
AgNO₃ 20 kg 35°C
- KBr 7.7 kg
KI 55 g 35°C
Distilled Water 88 liters
- In the case of the pump-operated addition control method, in order to prevent idling of the pump, solutions I and II were prepared on a scale of 1.2 times the prescribed amounts.
- The adding condition was such that solution II was added at a constant flow rate of 2 liters/min and solution III was controlled so that PAg in the vessel was maintained at 8.8 In the conventional method and apparatus, the addition process was ended at the time when the total addition time for solution II became equal to that in the method and apparatus of the invention.
- For controlling the pAg potential and the flow rate, a single-loop controller manufactured by Toshiba Co. was employed to determine the PID value with which the best control conditions could be obtained. The control conditions thus obtained were applied to all solutions. The pump used in the tests was a gear pump manufactured by Marg Co. The same agitating conditions were applied to all solutions.
- The results of the tests were as follows:
- (1) Potential variation
- (2) After the addition process was completed, the particle size and distribution were measured after aging had been carried out for a predetermined period of time:
- The same solutions as in Example I were used to compare diaphragm type control valves with the flow control valves of the invention.
- With the flow rate of solution II set to 2 liters/min and the control pAg potential PAg = 8.8, the addition of solution III was controlled.
- For the control of the pAg potential and flow rate, the aforementioned single-loop controller manufactured by Toshiba Co. was employed. Diaphragm type control valves manufactured by Yamatake Honeywell were used for comparisons.
-
- With the photographic photosensitive solution manufacturing method and apparatus of the invention wherein flow control valves for controlling the flow rates of Ag⁺ and X⁻ solutions are controlled according to a predetermined flow rate or pAg potential program and using output signals of respective flow meters or a pAg potentiometer, and the flow control valves are motor-controlled flow control valves for which the rate of change of flow rate with valve stroke is small and linear, flow control in accordance with a program of the form Q = at² + bt + c can be carried out with a better response and smaller instantaneous variations than in the prior art. Furthermore, when carrying out flow control in accordance with a pAg potential program in the form of E = ℓt² = + mt + c, the pAg potential variation range can be made small, as a result of which the silver halide emulsion particles are sharp in size distribution and uniform in shape.
- With the invention, the flow control valves are simple both in configuration and in construction, and can be applied to the production of a variety of photographic photosensitive solutions. Furthermore, the flow control valves are advantageous in that the times required for switching them or cleaning them are greatly reduced, and their flow control range is wide. As a result, the addition of Ag⁺ and X⁻ solutions can be achieved without significant residual loss.
