Definitions

  • This invention relates to an apparatus for the processing of sheet material, in particular the liquid processing of photographic sheet material, such as X-ray film, pre-sensitised plates, graphic art film and paper, and offset plates. More particularly the invention relates to improvements in apparatus in which photographic material is transported through one or more treatment units.
  • a processing apparatus for photographic sheet material comprises several vessels each of which contains a treatment liquid, such as a developer, a fixer and a rinse liquid.
  • a treatment liquid such as a developer, a fixer and a rinse liquid.
  • sheet material includes not only photographic material in the form of cut sheets, but also in the form of a web unwound from a roll.
  • the sheet material to be processed is transported through these vessels in turn, by transport means such as one or more pairs of drive rollers, and thereafter optionally to a drying unit.
  • the time spent by the sheet material in each vessel is determined by the transport speed and the dimensions of the vessel in the sheet feed path direction.
  • An apparatus for the liquid processing of sheet material is known, for example from European patent application 93200502.8 (Agfa-Gevaert NV, filed 23 February 1993) which comprises a housing and a number of removable racks located within the housing.
  • the housing includes a drive device for driving sheet material along a sheet material path in a processing direction through the apparatus and first drive transfer means.
  • Each rack includes a pair of rollers forming a nip therebetween which defines part of the sheet material path through the apparatus and second drive transfer means co-operating with the first drive to transfer means transfer drive from the drive device to the rollers.
  • Such an apparatus is constructed with removable racks for the purpose of the ease of maintenance. While racks may be replaced when necessary, any new rack must carry out the same or similar function as the replaced rack.
  • EP 622676 (Eastman Kodak Company) describes a processor comprising a housing having at least one modular wall structure for dividing the housing into a plurality of fluid processing chambers. A modular processing device is placed in at least one of the processing chambers for circulating a processing fluid placed in the chamber.
  • the first drive transfer means comprises two first drive transfer members adapted to be driven by the drive device at different velocities and the second drive transfer means comprises second drive transfer members so positioned to cooperate with one or other of the two first drive transfer members according to the desired function of the processing module.
  • an apparatus for the processing of sheet material comprising:
  • the housing is preferably divided by internal partial walls into a number of compartments into which the processing modules are fitted.
  • the housing may be in two parts, having a base portion and a removable lid.
  • the top edge of the base portion is preferably above the static liquid level, to reduce the risk of leakage when the apparatus is idle.
  • the worm drives and associated drive device are best mounted in the base portion, because of the short tolerance necessary between the worm drive and the worm gears.
  • the drive device is preferably constituted by a drive motor and associated gear box, adapted to drive the two first drive transfer members in opposite rotational directions.
  • a DC or brush-less AC motor is suitable.
  • the gear box associated with the drive motor may be adjustable to cause the drive transfer members to rotate in the same rotational direction, if occasionally so required.
  • two drive motors can be used, for example located one at each end of the housing, together with suitable controls to enable the drive motors to cause the first drive transfer members to be driven as required.
  • the apparatus will define a generally horizontal sheet material path there-through.
  • a vertical or inclined configuration is also possible.
  • the sheet material path will generally be substantially straight.
  • the processing modules may conveniently comprise a sub-frame so shaped as the fit into compartments within the housing, the rotatable members being carried by the sub-frame. In this way the module may be removed from the housing and replaced without fear of disturbing the spacial relationship between the rotatable members.
  • the two first drive transfer members comprise two worm drives coupled to the drive device in such a manner as to rotate at different speeds and/or in different directions.
  • the rotatable member may comprise a shaft, the second drive transfer member comprising a worm gear positioned on the shaft to receive drive from one or other of the worm drives.
  • the processing module will comprise two rotatable members, forming a nip therebetween which defines part of the sheet material path through the apparatus, each rotatable member having an associated second drive transfer means.
  • the processing module comprises two drive rollers, the second drive members associated with the drive rollers being so positioned as to engage a first of the first drive transfer members thereby to drive sheet material along the sheet material path in the processing direction.
  • the drive rollers may each comprise a rigid core carrying a covering of elastomeric material, the core being secured to a drive roller shaft on which a second drive transfer member is located.
  • the drive rollers may be sealed by the provision of fixed or rotatable sealing members.
  • the use of sealing rollers carried in bearings secured to, or integral with, the associated sub-frame is preferred.
  • the sealing roller may have a diameter less than that of the drive roller.
  • the sealing roller may have a diameter which is from one tenth to one third of the diameter of the drive roller, thereby enabling the torque which needs to be applied to be further reduced.
  • the sealing roller preferably extends in a straight line parallel to the associated drive roller axis and preferably contacts the surface of the associated drive roller at a location which is between 45° and 315°, most preferably between 135° and 225° from the centre of the nip, on the fluid side.
  • the sealing roller may be formed of a material having a coefficient of friction (as measured against stainless steel) of less than 0.3, preferably from 0.05 to 0.2, for example highly polished metals such as steel, especially Cr-Ni steel and Cr-Ni-Mo steel, a metal coated with Ni-PTFE (NIFLOR - Trade Mark), a polymer material such as PTFE (poly tetra fluoro ethylene), POM (polyoxymethylene), HDPE (high density polyethylene), UHMPE (ultra high molecular weight polyethylene), polyurethane, PA (polyamide), PBT (polybutyl terephthalate) and mixtures and composites thereof.

  • a polymer material such
  • the drive rollers and the sealing rollers should be mounted between end plates of the sub-frame in a leak-proof manner.
  • intermediate cells between each pair of processing cells to avoid leakage of treatment liquid from one processing cell to another.
  • the intermediate cells may include leakage trays so positioned that any treatment liquid which passes through the nip between the drive rollers drips into the leakage tray, for collection and recirculation as desired.
  • Intermediate cells may provide a dead space where diffusion reactions can occur on the sheet material as it passes there-through.
  • the processing cells which are defined between the sealed drive roller modules may include intermediate processing modules comprising unsealed rollers which may be driven rollers, or non driven rollers for breaking the laminar fluid at the surface of the sheet material as it passes through the apparatus.
  • Typical drive rollers have a core provided with a covering of elastomeric material, although it is possible for a roller to be elastomeric throughout its cross-section.
  • the elastomeric material covering preferably has a thickness of between 1 mm and 30 mm.
  • the elastomeric material may be selected from ethylene/propylene/diene terpolymers (EPDM), silicone rubber, polyurethane, thermoplastic rubber such as Santoprene (Trade Mark for polypropylene/EPDM rubber), styrene-butyl rubber and nitrile-butyl rubber.
  • the hardness of the elastomeric material may be between 15 Shore (a) and 90 Shore (a), as measured on the roller surface.
  • the core has a flexural E-modulus of between 50 GPa and 300 GPa.
  • Suitable materials for the rigid core include metals, such as stainless steel, non-ferrous alloys, titanium, aluminium or a composite thereof.
  • the core is hollow. Alternatively the core may be solid.
  • the rollers may be biased together by a variety of methods.
  • the rollers may be biased together for example by making use of the intrinsic elasticity of the elastomeric material, by the use of fixed roller bearings.

  • the springs may be replaced by alternative equivalent compression means, such as e.g. a pneumatic or a hydraulic cylinder.
  • the processing module comprises a rotatable sheet contacting member and a rotatable backing member, the second drive transfer member associated with the sheet contacting member being so positioned as to receive drive from a second of the first drive transfer members to drive the wiping member in a rotational direction opposed to the processing direction.
  • the sheet contacting member may comprise a brush having fibres mounted on a core secured to a wiping member shaft, a second drive transfer member being located on the brush shaft.
  • the sheet contacting member may alternatively comprise a sheet wiping cloth, formed of a soft material such as cotton, mounted on a core secured to a wiping member shaft, a second drive transfer member being located on the wiping member shaft.

  • the second drive transfer member associated with the backing member is so positioned as to both receive drive from the first drive transfer member thereby to rotate the backing member in the processing direction.
  • module carries, for example, rotating brushes and backup rollers instead of drive rollers, is it not necessary to seal these brushes and backup rollers to the sub-frame, when processing modules including sealing means are positioned both upstream and downstream of the brush carrying module.
  • the construction of the apparatus enables the easy modification of the apparatus according to the function which it is desired to perform.
  • the invention also provides a method of modifying a sheet material processing apparatus to perform a different processing function.
  • the apparatus essentially comprises a housing including a drive device for driving sheet material along a sheet material path in a processing direction through the apparatus, and two first drive transfer members adapted to be driven by the drive device at different velocities; and at least one removable processing module located within the housing, the module including a pair of rotatable members forming a nip therebetween which defines part of the sheet material path through the apparatus, and a second drive transfer member so positioned to receive drive from one of the two first drive transfer members to transfer drive from the drive device to the rotatable members.
  • the method of modifying the apparatus comprises removing the processing module from the housing by disengaging the second drive transfer member from the first drive transfer member and replacing removed processing module with another processing module having a second drive transfer member so positioned to receive drive from the other of the first drive transfer members.

  • a latch mechanism may be provided to hold each processing module in place in the housing.
  • the latch mechanism includes a spring loaded handle which is pivoted onto the base of the housing. Rotation of the handle releases the latch. The end of the processing module rests on a spring carried on the housing base. This spring acts in the upwards direction to help lift the module out of the housing when the latch is released. When a new module is inserted, the handle is pushed out of the way and then snaps back into the latching position.
