Definitions
- the invention is based on a method according to the preamble of claim 1 and a device according to the preamble of claim 8.
- the films When processing photographic films in large laboratories, the films removed from the film cartridge in a so-called splicer and into a long one Tape stuck together. To do this, the rear end of a film and the leading end of the subsequent film is positioned in a gluing station that the ends can be connected with an adhesive label. equipment of this type are, for example, in DE OS 38 33 468 or EP OS 212 134. The films are usually positioned in the gluing station with infrared light barriers.
- a splicer suitable for these films can now be used in dark room as well previously common to glue the unexposed films together into a tape which is then developed in a development machine.
- Such can also Splicers but also in bright room operation are used for films of which Reorders are to be made to stick together to a tape, which, however, no longer develops but only copies becomes. If an error occurs during the pre-sorting of the cartridges delivered, so that, for example, an already developed film on the still undeveloped Filming or vice versa, this can lead to the destruction of each wrong sorted film.
- an already developed film at one repeated development fades very strongly, is a not yet developed Film that was wrongly assigned to the already developed films by the Processing in the splicer in bright room operation exposed and thus perfect destroyed.
- a camera is disclosed in the unpublished US 5,521,662.
- In the Description is an infrared transmitted light sensor mentioned, which has different Transmission rates determine whether the film is developed.
- the object is achieved by a method having the features of claim 1 and claim 7 and an apparatus having the features of claims 8 and Claim 12.
- the invention assumes that a developed film in particular in the infrared wavelength range, in which most standard light barrier modules work, is practically fully permeable. It is therefore for one such infrared transmitted light sensor can not be determined whether there is no film or an already developed film is between the light source and the photo sensor. It is therefore first determined with a second detector whether a Film is in the film guide. Only when this is ensured can a Infrared light barrier to determine whether the film is transparent to infrared or is blocking. In the former case it is a developed and in the latter case an undeveloped film.
- the presence of the film can, for example, with a mechanical Button to be checked, which is attached so that the leading edge of the film flipped a gear lever.
- a pneumatic solution would be preferable.
- an air pressure sensor to be attached to the other side of the film guide so that the reduction of the pressure can be measured if there is a film between the air nozzle and the pressure sensor pushes.
- a heating resistor could also be used instead of the pressure sensor whose electrical resistance changes with temperature. The resistance is no longer blown on because there is a film in the lead temperature increases and the resistance changes accordingly.
- the presence of a film with an infrared reflex light barrier is preferred certainly.
- This inexpensive standard component is attached so that the light is directed against the reflective back of the film.
- the light barrier is also a developed one that is inherently transparent to infrared Film noticeable.
- the determination of the state of development of a film is also included only one light barrier possible, the light in the green or blue wavelength range (420 - 580 nm) was used. Particularly suitable as a light source here an LED with a wavelength of 569 nm. At this wavelength the three possible states namely "no film”, “undeveloped film” and “developed film” can be clearly distinguished. While for the condition “no Film "practically a 100% light transition can be measured locks up undeveloped film almost completely, so that no light transition can be measured. A developed film is very clearly in the area between these two extremes, so that all three states can be distinguished here.
- Sensor 1 in FIG. 1 is preferably a photodiode an infrared reflex light barrier with a threshold switch designed in this way is that there is only a signal at input 4 if it is certain that that there is some film on the tour.
- the sensor 2 assigned light barrier works in the infrared range, but is in contrast designed as a transmitted light sensor to the reflex light barrier.
- the Threshold switch of sensor 2 is set so that no input 5 Signal is present when it is certain that there is an undeveloped film in the guide located.
- the controller 3 has two inputs, one of which is the input 4 is connected to sensor 1 and input 5 to sensor 2. Farther the control is provided with the outputs 6, 7, 8, for corresponding Control purposes are usable. The outputs are via the logic elements 9, 10 driven.
- FIG. 3 A film guide with a corresponding sensor system is shown in FIG. 3.
- the Film 12 is here through a guide system, not shown, through the guide 14 pushed in the direction of arrow A.
- the reflex light barrier 23 exists from the light source 21 and the photo sensor 1, both on the same side the film guide 14 are arranged. Consequently, the photo sensor 1 only receives then light when the light emitted from the light source 21 from the film 12 is reflected.
- the transmitted light sensor 24 has a light source 22 and a photo sensor 2 on opposite sides of the film guide 14.
- the photosensor 2 then delivers a signal if either there is no film 12 in the Guide 14 is located and the light emitted by the light source 22 directly Sensor 2 reached, or if an already developed film is in the guide 14 because it is transparent in the infrared range. So it's at entrance 5 only if there is an undeveloped film in the guide 14 located.
- the logic element 9 in the controller 3 of FIG. 1 is designed so that when there is no signal at input 4, a voltage is applied to output 6. If this state is illustrated in FIG. 3, this means that none Film 12 is present in the guide 14, at least that the leading edge 13 of a film 12 is not yet in the area of the reflex light barrier 23.
- the photo sensor 2 receives the light emitted by the light source 22 there developed films are practically transparent in the infrared wavelength range. In this case there is a signal at input 5. Receives the logic element 10 a signal via connection 11 and input 5 is also present Signal at output 7, while there is no signal at outputs 6 and 8. In the event that film 12 is not yet developed The photo sensor 2 does not receive any film that has a blocking effect in the infrared range Light so that there is no signal at input 5. In this case (signal on connection 11, no signal at input 5) there is a signal at output 8. In this There is no signal at outputs 6 and 7.
- the controller 3 can also be viewed as a logic module with two inputs and three outputs. In order to achieve clear results here, it is ideal to position the transmitted light sensor 24 in such a way that it acts on the edge of the film 12 which is opposite the reflected light sensor 23.
- the switching logic of the controller 3 can be found in the table below.
- An X stands for an applied signal and a circle for no signal.
- Entrance 4 Entrance 5 Exit 6
- Exit 7 Exit 8 Status X O O O X Film not developed O X X O O Not a movie X X O X O Film developed
- a photo sensor 30 is provided which operates in the blue-green wavelength range.
- the sensor 30 delivers a signal proportional to the incident light.
- the Control 33 which in turn has three outputs 36, 37, 38, thus has only a single input 34.
- the controller 33 contains two setpoint devices 35 and 39 and two comparison elements 31, 32.
- the by the setpoint generator 35 The value provided corresponds to approximately 90% of that at the entrance 34 applied signal when there is no film in the guide 14.
- the value provided by the setpoint generator 39 corresponds approximately 10% of this signal. Both setpoints can be changed according to the Power of the light source of the detector device in the meantime again and again be compared.
- the signal at input 34 is greater than the signal from the setpoint generator 35, there is a signal at output 36. In this case it is also due to Output of the comparator 32 a signal because that over the connection 40 tapped signal is also greater than the signal of the setpoint generator 39 is.
- the AND gate 42 thus receives a signal from the comparison gate 32 while there is no signal from the NOT gate 41. This is also due to the exit 37 no signal on.
- the output 38 also remains via the NOT link 43 without signal.
- the signal is at input 34 smaller than the signal of the setpoint generator 35, but larger than the signal of the Setpoint generator 39. This means that no signal is connected to output 36, whereas a signal is present at the output of the comparator 32. There now too a signal from the NOT gate 41 to the AND gate 42 switches it a signal on the output 37. The non-gate 43 is in turn no signal at output 38.
- the signal is at the entrance 34 smaller than the signal of the setpoint generator 39 Output of the comparator 31 compared to the previously described case there is no change, there is now no output at the comparator 32 Signal on. So there is no signal at the output 37, whereas the NOT element 43 at the output 38 there is now a signal.
- the detector device would have to be used Eliminate 23.
- the light source 22 of the detector device 24 should then be such that they emit light in the blue-green wavelength range emitttiert.
- a film that has not yet been developed is sensitive to light in this wavelength range and thus when testing with a device according to this embodiment generate a latent image of the light source on the film it would be advantageous to design the light source to be on the film creates a certain pattern. For example, one laboratory could do this imprint his mark on the beginning of the film.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 can also be used as software realize. Corresponding flow diagrams are shown in Figures 4 to 6.
- FIG. 4 shows the output signal of sensor 1 under reference number 51 queried. As long as the sensor does not emit a signal, the program will continue reset. Only when the query at 51 shows a positive result, is the reference signal 52 also queries the output signal of sensor 2. If there is no signal here, there is a developed film in the Leadership 14. This decision is marked 57. However, if on If sensor 2 has a signal, the film detected is a not yet developed film. This decision is made at 58.
- the sensor 2 can also be queried first. This query is again provided with the reference number 52. There is no sensor 2 Signal on, it can be decided immediately under 58 that a undeveloped film located in the guide 14. If there is a signal, however, is again the sensor 1 is queried under the reference symbol 51. There is no here Signal on, there is at least no film in the area of this sensor. The program is therefore reset and the query starts again. If, on the other hand, there is a signal at sensor 1, the decision can now be made under 57 be that this is a developed film.
- the signal at sensor 2 is greater than a threshold value that is approximately 90% of the signal which is present at the sensor 2 when there is no film in the Leadership is. If the signal at sensor 2 is greater than this threshold value, means this is that in fact there is no film in the lead and the program will be reset. However, if the signal at sensor 2 is smaller, it will be below the Reference numeral 59 compared with a second threshold. This threshold is only 10% of the signal that is present at sensor 2 when no film is in the guide. If the signal is greater than this threshold, it is decided in 57 that it is a developed film. Is it however, smaller, the decision is made under 58 on an undeveloped film.
- inventive method and the inventive device are not only applicable to the devices mentioned here, but can be used anywhere be used where the wrong handling of a film - be it developed now or undeveloped - lead to an irretrievable loss for the customer would.
