Description

  The present invention relates to a film carrier having a film transport path through which a photographic film is transported, and having an opening through which light from a light source is irradiated in the middle of the film transport path.

  In a conventional photographic processing apparatus, for example, a film carrier having a film conveyance path through which a photographic film is conveyed, and an opening hole to which light from a light source is irradiated is provided in the middle of the film conveyance path, When printing on the photosensitive material by irradiating the photosensitive material with image light from the photographic film conveyed by the film carrier and irradiated with light from the opening hole, from the photographic film irradiated by the film carrier and irradiated with light through the opening hole The image light is read as image information by an image reading device (for example, a scanner), the read image information is subjected to image processing, and the photosensitive material is irradiated with the image light based on the image information subjected to the image processing for printing. There is a case to do. The film carrier is provided, for example, at a film contact portion in a film conveyance path (specifically, at a peripheral portion of the opening hole so that the position in the direction crossing the film surface of the photographic film at the opening hole is stabilized). The photographic film being conveyed may come into contact with the guide section.

  In such a photographic processing apparatus, when a photosensitive material is irradiated with image light from a photographic film to print from the photographic film, or when image light from the photographic film is read by an image reader, the photographic film is placed on the film carrier. At this time, dust may adhere to the photographic film set on the film carrier (mainly dust due to static electricity). In this case, it adheres to the photographic film. When the photographic film is conveyed to the opening hole of the film carrier, for example, the dust on the photographic film comes into contact with the guide part at the peripheral edge of the opening hole. Sometimes the film is scratched.

  Conventionally, for example, (a) an electrostatic charge-removing brush is arranged on the upstream side of the film carrier in the photographic film transport direction in order to eliminate the above-described problems with dust (mainly dust adhered due to static electricity) in the photographic film, Before the photographic film is set on the film carrier, the static electricity on the photographic film is removed by removing static electricity from the photographic film with an electrostatic static elimination brush, or (b) the photographic film is set on the film carrier in the film carrier. A dust removing brush for removing dust in the photographic film is disposed, and dust on the photographic film is dropped with the dust removing brush so as to suppress the influence of dust on the photographic film as much as possible.

  However, in any of the above (a) and (b), the actual situation is that the influence of dust, such as the appearance of dust on the printed image and the scratches on the photographic film due to the dust, has not been sufficiently suppressed. Furthermore, as in (a) above, even if the static electricity on the photographic film is neutralized with a static eliminator brush before the photographic film is set on the film carrier, dust on the photographic film is removed. For example, static electricity may be generated before the photographic film is set on the film carrier, and dust may adhere to the photographic film when the photographic film is set on the film carrier. Further, as in (b) above, when removing dust on the photographic film with the dust removing brush in the film carrier, the dust removing brush does not substantially have a function of removing static electricity from the photographic film, Therefore, even if it is attempted to remove dust with this dust removing brush, it is difficult to remove dust because the photographic film is charged with static electricity.

  Next, processing steps of the photographic processing apparatus A shown in FIG. 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the processing steps of the photographic processing apparatus A shown in FIG.

  The main configuration will be described below while simply following the flow of the process. The image exposure / development apparatus 2 includes the above-described exposure apparatus 63, development processing apparatus 61, drying processing section 4, and collection section 5, as well as a transport apparatus 43.

  In the image processing apparatus 1, the scanner 600 scans and reads image information on the photographic film F. In the control unit 91, a digital image that has been subjected to image processing is determined as exposure data.

  In the image exposure / development apparatus 2, the photosensitive material 40 is pulled out from the magazine 42 and conveyed by a roller or the like in the conveyance device 43. The photosensitive material is cut into, for example, a fixed size, and the exposure device 63 exposes the photosensitive material 40 in the exposure device 41.

  In the development processing device 61, various chemical processes (chemical solution S and the like) such as development, fixing, and water washing are performed on the photosensitive material 40, and the drying process is performed in the drying processing unit 4. The process is done automatically. The transport device 43 transports the photosensitive material 40 in these steps.

  In the photographic processing apparatus A in which the photographic processing operation is performed as described above, when reading the photographic image of the photographic film F, as shown in FIG. 2, when the film F is inserted from the film insertion port of the film transport path 641, The film F is conveyed through the film conveyance path 641 in the film conveyance direction Y toward the image reading unit 642 while being sandwiched between rotating conveyance rollers 641a and 641b. At this time, power is supplied from the power supply unit 648 to the high voltage generation circuit units 646a and 646b, and air is ionized by the electric field formed by the needle electrodes 647a and 647b due to the high voltage from the circuit units 646a and 646b. In this example, since the dust removal brushes 644a and 644b are disposed between the needle electrodes 647a and 647b and the film F, the needle electrodes 647a and 647b ionize the air in the vicinity of the dust removal brushes 644a and 644b. And the static electricity in both surfaces of the film F is neutralized by this ionized air. Accordingly, the dust removing brushes 644a and 644b remove dust on the surface of the film F from which the static electricity has been eliminated, while eliminating the static electricity.

  The photographic film F from which the dust has been removed arrives at the image reading unit 642, and is further conveyed by the driven roller 642a and the driving roller 642b. For example, the photographic film F is contacted with the guide unit 64b ″ while opening the holes Ha, Hb. Then, the light L is emitted from the LED element 611 of the light source unit 610, and the image light L ′ passing through the film F from the LED element 611 is received by the line-shaped imaging element 621 in the imaging unit 620 and is used as image data. Read sequentially.

  The film carrier 640 described above includes an ion static electricity removing device 645 in the film carrier 640, and needle electrodes 647 a and 647 b of the ion static electricity removing device 645 are provided so as to face both surfaces of the photographic film F. The air on the film surface is ionized, and the static electricity on the film surface is neutralized by the ionized air to neutralize the static electricity. The film carrier 640 includes dust removing brushes 644a and 644b. The dust removing brushes 644a and 644b remove dust on both surfaces of the film F.

  As described above, according to the film carrier 640, the needle electrodes 647 a and 647 b of the ion static electricity removing device 645 provided in the film carrier 640 eliminate static electricity on both surfaces of the photographic film F, and are provided in the film carrier 640. The dust removing brushes 644a and 644b thus removed remove dust on both sides of the film F. For example, the film F is charged until the film F is set on the film carrier 640, and the film F is set on the film carrier 640. Sometimes, even if dust is attached due to this static electricity, the dust on the film F can be satisfactorily removed in the film carrier 640 while the static electricity on the film F is suppressed. The dust is reflected on the It is possible to suppress the effect of dust such as scratches to Lum F.

  In this example, since the dust removing brushes 644a and 644b and the needle electrodes 647a and 647b of the ion static electricity removing device 645 are disposed in the vicinity of the upstream side of the opening holes Ha and Hb in the film transport direction Y, the opening hole Ha , Hb, dust on the film F is removed on the upstream side in the film transport direction Y, and accordingly, dust can be prevented from being reflected in the print image.

  Further, in this example, the dust removing brushes 644a and 644b and the needle electrodes 647a and 647b of the ion static electricity removing device 645 can be contacted with the photographic film F in the film transport path 641 in the film transport direction Y (for example, the guide portion 64b ”) Is disposed near the upstream side, so that dust on the film F is removed on the upstream side in the film transport direction Y from the portion 64b in the film transport path 641 where it can come into contact with the film F. Scratches can be suppressed.

  Further, in this example, the dust removing brushes 644a and 644b are disposed between the ion static eliminating device 654 and the photographic film F, and the needle electrodes 647a and 647b of the ion static eliminating device 654 are in the vicinity of the dust removing brushes 644a and 644b. The dust removal brushes 644a and 644b remove dust on the surface of the film F from which the static electricity has been neutralized while neutralizing static electricity on both surfaces of the photographic film F by ionizing the air. In other words, since the dust on the film F is removed without the film F being charged again after the static electricity on the film F is removed, the dust on the film F is surely protected against the static electricity on the film F. It can be removed in the removed state.

  In this example, the film carrier reads image light from a light-irradiated photographic film as image information by an image reading device (for example, a scanner), performs image processing on the read image information, and further performs the image processing. It is used in a photographic processing apparatus that forms image light based on the image information, and irradiates the photosensitive material with the image light and prints it, but irradiates the photosensitive material with image light from the irradiated photographic film. You may use for the photo processing apparatus which prints.
