DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automatic developing apparatus for developing a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material (hereinafter referred to as a "photosensitive material") such as photographic film or photographic paper. The present invention relates to a processing liquid cartridge storage device in an automatic development processing device for storing the processing liquid cartridge in a processing container.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there are various types of automatic developing apparatuses, such as an apparatus for developing a photographic film exclusively for photosensitive materials, an apparatus for developing a photographic paper exclusively, or a photographic film and a photographic paper. And a device combining these devices with a photographic printing machine.

For example, in an automatic processing apparatus in which a photographic printing machine and an automatic paper developing machine are integrated, an image of an original image is exposed on a photosensitive material by the photographic printing machine, and then the photosensitive material is developed by the automatic paper developing machine. , Desilvering, washing, stabilization, etc. By the way, the amount of various processing liquids for performing these processings decreases and the quality of the liquids deteriorates with the processing of the photosensitive material. Therefore, it is necessary to replenish various processing liquids in order to keep the performance of the processing liquid constant. Various processing liquids provided for this replenishment are filled in a plurality of replenishment tanks a classified according to types as shown in FIG.

These replenishing tanks a vary depending on the type of machine, but are provided at predetermined positions in the respective automatic developing apparatuses, and are opened and closed by opening / closing lids b provided near the replenishing tanks a. The processing liquid inflow portion c of the replenishment tank a is exposed from the processing device.

When it is detected by a sensor (not shown) or the like that the amount of each processing liquid filled in the replenishing tank a has decreased due to the use of the automatic development processing apparatus, the opening and closing of each replenishing tank a in which the processing liquid has decreased is performed. After opening the opening d and confirming a container (not shown) containing the processing liquid of the type corresponding to the processing liquid put in the replenishing tank a, the desired processing liquid is poured into the replenishing tank a through the opening / closing port d. At the same time, water was injected together, and the injected solution was stirred by a stirring rod e provided in the replenishing tank a.

[0006]

However, there are a plurality of types of processing solutions used, such as a developing solution, a bleaching solution, a fixing solution, and a stabilizing solution. If the processing liquid corresponding to the processing liquid in the replenishment tank a is selected from the above, and a predetermined amount of the processing liquid and water are replenished each time, a wrong selection of the processing liquid or an error in the injection amount may be considered. There was a problem in replenishing the processing solution in this manner.

[0007] Further, since water is injected together with the above-mentioned processing liquid and stirring is performed with the stirring rod e after the injection, it is necessary for the operator to repeatedly perform the stirring operation each time the processing liquid is replenished. This is a serious problem, and also has the problem of minimizing the interruption time of the development processing operation.

There is another problem that the processing liquid is spilled while the processing liquid is being injected from the container into the replenishing tank a.

Further, replenishing the processing solution corresponding to each replenishing tank a from each container for each of the plurality of replenishing tanks a takes time and effort, and during that time, the processing operation by the automatic developing apparatus is interrupted. This is also problematic in that the time is lengthened, and that the automatic development process can be smoothly performed. Therefore, replenishment of the processing solution into the replenishment tank a requires some experience by an experienced person, and it is not easy for anyone.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, recently, a cartridge filled with a plurality of processing liquids is installed in an automatic developing apparatus, and when the processing liquid runs out, various cartridges are simply replaced with new cartridges. Attempts have been made to solve the above problems by making it possible to replenish the processing solution.

The present invention has been developed in view of the above points, and its object is to use it in various automatic developing apparatuses for developing photosensitive materials, and to separately process a plurality of processing solutions. The processing liquid discharge nozzle of each chamber of the cartridge divided so as to be able to be stored can be easily and accurately connected to the processing liquid delivery nozzle corresponding to the processing liquid discharge nozzle of each chamber provided in the processing liquid cartridge storage device at the same time, Another object of the present invention is to provide a processing liquid cartridge storage device in an automatic development processing apparatus which can be detached.
