TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an image reading device that reads a frame image formed on a film.
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is an image reading apparatus that reads a frame image formed on a film as image data in order to print an image captured by a camera.
[0003]
Such an image reading apparatus includes a transport unit having a transport lane configured to transport a belt-shaped film in a longitudinal direction, an imaging unit that sequentially reads frame images of the film transported in the transport lane, and a transport lane. It is generally provided with a winding unit that is disposed on the downstream side and temporarily winds the film that has been conveyed from the conveyance lane, and the winding unit is provided in various forms. One of them is configured to take up a film without using a drive.
[0004]
Such a winding section has a slit-shaped insertion port into which a film is inserted, and a storage space communicating with the insertion port, and the storage space is such that one surface of the film inserted from the insertion port is in sliding contact. It is formed so as to be closed by being surrounded by an annular inner peripheral surface formed to be guided, and a pair of opposing closing surfaces closing both ends formed by the inner peripheral surface. Specifically, the winding portion has a plate-shaped closing plate that closes both ends of the body with respect to an annular body having the inner peripheral surface in which a slit-shaped insertion port is formed in a peripheral wall. The housing space is closed by being fixed via a screw member, an adhesive, or the like.
[0005]
In the image reading apparatus having the above configuration, the transport lane transports the film in the longitudinal direction, so that one end on the upstream side of the film is fed into the storage space through the insertion port of the winding unit. When the film enters the space, one surface of the film is guided to the inner peripheral surface, whereby the film is spirally housed in the housing space.
[0006]
Further, the image reading device, after temporarily stopping the conveyance of the film in a state where the other end of the film is located at the downstream end of the conveyance lane, the conveyance lane is moved to the front of the other end of the film. , The film accommodated in the accommodation space is pulled out.
[0007]
As described above, the image reading apparatus can take up and rewind the film without using a drive on the downstream side of the transport lane. The film can be prevented from being bent or damaged when performing the process, and the film can be transported smoothly back and forth.
[0008]
Thereby, when the image reading apparatus conveys the film from the upstream side to the downstream side with the winding unit in the conveyance lane, the image reading apparatus reads the frame image of the film as image data and performs the prescanning while performing the prescanning. When the film is conveyed from the side (winding unit side) to the upstream side, the frame image of the film is read again as image data, and the main scanning is performed. Based on the image data obtained by the prescanning and the main scanning, Thus, optimal image data can be obtained. (For example, see Patent Document 1)

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, if the transport lane runs away for some reason and all of the film enters the storage space or the film winding in the storage space becomes unsatisfactory, the storage space is closed in the image reading device having the above configuration. Therefore, the situation in the storage space cannot be grasped, and troublesome work such as taking out the film from the storage space to the outside cannot be easily performed in some cases.
[0011]
The insertion opening of the winding section is open so that the film can be smoothly inserted, and dust may enter into the closed storage space through the insertion opening. Since the storage space is closed as described above, even if dust enters the storage space, the inner peripheral surface or the like forming the storage space cannot be cleaned, and the dust is slidably guided on the inner peripheral surface. However, there is a problem that the formation surface of the frame image is damaged.
[0012]
Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an image reading apparatus capable of easily confirming a situation in a storage space for storing a film and easily performing cleaning and elimination of troubles in the storage space. The task is to provide
[0013]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
An image reading apparatus according to the present invention includes a transport unit having a transport lane that transports a belt-shaped film in a longitudinal direction, an imaging unit that reads a frame image of a film transported in the transport lane, and transported from the transport lane. A winding section for winding the film, the winding section includes an insertion port into which the film conveyed from the conveyance lane is inserted, and includes a storage space for accommodating the film inserted from the insertion port. The housing space is formed by an annular inner peripheral surface on which one surface of the film inserted from the insertion opening is slid and guided, and a pair of opposed closing members for closing both ends formed by the inner circumferential surface. In the image reading device formed so as to be surrounded by a surface, the winding portion has a door body capable of opening and closing the storage space.
[0014]
According to the image reading device having the above configuration, the winding unit has the door that can open and close the storage space that stores the film transported from the transport lane. When the film cannot be fed into the storage space due to the wound state, or when all the film enters the storage space, when dust enters the storage space, etc. By opening the door to open the storage space, the situation inside the storage space can be checked, making it easy to repair problems in the storage space, take out film, clean the storage space, etc. Can be done.
[0015]
Further, it is preferable that the door body has a flat portion, and the flat portion is provided so as to form the closed surface. In this case, if the door is opened so as to open the housing space, the inside of the housing space will be exposed through the opening formed in the inner peripheral surface, so that the housing is spirally wound in the housing space. Alternatively, the status of the film being wound can be checked.
[0016]
Further, the winding portion includes an annular body having the inner peripheral surface, and a slit-shaped insertion opening extending in a central axis direction is formed on a peripheral wall of the body, and the door body is configured to be a body. It is preferable to be hinged so that it can be opened and closed. With this configuration, the housing space can be easily opened and closed without completely removing the door body.
[0017]
Further, a locking piece protrudes from one of the trunk portion and the door body, and a locking portion lockable with the locking piece is provided on the other, and the locking piece is engaged with the locking portion. It is preferable that the closed state of the door is maintained by being stopped. In this way, when it is necessary to close the accommodation space, that is, when the film enters or goes out of the transport lane, it is protruded from either the trunk or the door. The closed state of the door body is maintained by making the locked piece and the locking portion provided on the other the locked state, so that the housing space can be reliably closed.
[0018]
Further, the trunk portion is formed by connecting a plurality of divided trunks divided in the central axis direction, and the slit-shaped insertion opening has a length corresponding to the film width of the film to be inserted. It is preferable that both ends are formed on the peripheral wall of the divided cylinder while avoiding the connecting surface of the divided cylinder.
[0019]
If the body is formed of a divided body in this way, for example, in the case of forming a circumferential groove at the center of the inner peripheral surface of the body, a divided body having a stepped inner hole is formed by resin molding. By connecting them together, it is possible to easily form a trunk having an inner peripheral surface with a circumferential groove formed therein without performing machining (cutting or the like), thereby reducing manufacturing costs of the trunk. be able to. In addition, the insertion port is formed so that both ends are located on the peripheral wall of the divided cylinder, bypassing the connection surface of the divided cylinder, so that the side end of the film can enter from the insertion port without passing near the connection surface. Thus, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the side end of the film is sandwiched between the connection surfaces and the insertion into the accommodation space is hindered.
