TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a photographic photosensitive film processing and packaging apparatus in which a photographic photosensitive film cut into predetermined lengths is wound around a spool, inserted into a cartridge, and then housed in a case to obtain a package.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Normally, when processing and packaging a photographic film, processing of the film, winding of the processed fixed-size film, incorporation of the wound fixed-size film into the patrone, and patrone case (outer packaging material) ) Are independently performed by individual devices. In order to shift from the preceding process to the next process, it is necessary to wind the film once for each process. As a result, a problem has been pointed out that the entire film packaging process is complicated and takes a long time.
[0003]
Therefore, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-266059, a film bonding portion in a dark room state for taking out a main roll from a main roll storage container and feeding out the photosensitive film to the next step, and assembling of the photosensitive film. A part supply unit for supplying a part to be supplied to the film processing unit, a part for supplying the part supplied from the part supply part and a part for processing the photosensitive film conveyed from the film bonding part, and a part for incorporating the film processing in a dark room state; 2. Description of the Related Art There is known a package manufacturing apparatus provided with a container storage unit that stores a package in which a photosensitive film is incorporated in a container in a container.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, in the above-mentioned prior art, the film joining portion is covered with a light-shielding cover, and in this light-shielding cover, an automatic switching device for taking out the original roll from the original roll storage container and a transfer position of the automatic switching device are set. And an accumulator for transporting the photosensitive film of the original roll to a film processing assembly unit.
[0005]
Further, the film processing built-in portion is covered with a light-shielding cover, and inside the light-shielding cover, a punching machine for forming a perforation on the photosensitive film, and an accumulator for transporting the photosensitive film on which the perforation is formed, A latent image printing unit for printing a frame number or the like on the photosensitive film, a cutter for cutting the photosensitive film into a predetermined length, and a spool assembly for winding the cut photosensitive film around a spool Part, a cartridge assembly part for inserting the spool around which the photosensitive film is wound into a one-sided cartridge having only one end capped, and a caulking machine for caulking the one-sided cartridge. I have.
[0006]
As described above, in the above-described conventional technology, the entire apparatus is operated in a bright room by covering the film joining portion and the film processing built-in portion with the light shielding cover. Therefore, it is necessary to automate all the processes from the removal of the original roll to the manufacture of the packaged product, and the whole equipment becomes complicated and expensive.
[0007]
Moreover, when a trouble (failure, clogging of the photosensitive film, etc.) occurs in the film joining portion or the film assembling portion, the operator must remove the light shielding cover and perform a predetermined process. As a result, a problem has been pointed out that the photosensitive film is exposed to external light, a large number of defective films are generated, and the entire processing operation is complicated and time-consuming.
[0008]
In particular, in the case of a mechanical trouble or a sequence trouble, automatic recovery is difficult and time is required. For this reason, although it is desirable to store the photosensitive film in a light-shielded state and to take measures against equipment troubles, it is impossible with the above-mentioned conventional technology. As a result, a large amount of the photosensitive film is exposed, which is extremely uneconomical.

[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides:The component conveying path is provided with a light shielding material bent portion having an angle of 90 ° or more as a whole. Therefore, when each component is sent from the bright room to the dark room, it is possible to reliably prevent the outside light from being irradiated into the dark room with a simple configuration.
[0012]
In addition, the spool supply unit, the cap supply unit, the case supply unit, and the case cap supply unit are collectively disposed, and the component supply unit is integrally configured. Therefore, the operation of supplying the parts including the spool, the cap, the case, and the case cap is simplified at a stroke, and the efficient parts supply operation is performed not only when the respective parts are automatically conveyed but also when the parts are conveyed manually. In addition, logistics can be improved. At this time, a stock portion for stacking packages is provided near the component supply position. For this reason, it is possible to concentrate the product unloading operation together with the part supply operation at substantially the same position, and it is possible to efficiently carry out the parts and the product transportation operations.

Further, a component supply section and a component transport path for sending out each component from the component supply section are arranged above the work floor, and a space for walking is secured on the work floor. As a result, the workability is excellent, and the inside of the work place can be three-dimensionally utilized, and the size of the entire apparatus can be easily reduced.
[0015]
In addition, a pair of light-shielding shutters that perform operations different from each other (opening operation and closing operation) in place of the bent portion or together with the bent portion are provided in the component transport path. Thereby, there is an advantage that the light shielding property is improved.
[0016]
The light-blocking shutter disposed in the component transport path for the spool has a tapered surface that is inclined upward in a range of 15 ° to 45 ° from the surface direction, and an opening that avoids the shaft of the spool. In addition, the spool can be smoothly engaged with the flange portion of the spool to reliably hold the spool. The component transport path for the spool includes a pipeline for aligning the spool in the longitudinal direction and transporting the air via an air blow means, so that the spool can be transported at a high speed.
[0017]
On the other hand, the light-blocking shutter disposed in the component conveying path for the cap has a tapered surface that is inclined upward by 90 ° or less from the surface direction, and smoothly engages with the outer peripheral surface of the cap. Hold this cap securely. The component transport path for the cap includes an arcuate chute for transporting the cap in a horizontal posture, has a light blocking function, and can smoothly transport the cap.
[0018]
Further, a component lifter for transferring the component introduced into the hopper upward and sending it out to the feeder is disposed in the component supply unit. For this reason, there is no need to supply each component directly to the feeder arranged at a relatively high position by automatic conveyance means or manually, and the supply operation of the component is smoothly and easily performed.
[0019]
In addition, the film supply section, the film winding section, the assembling section, and the case filling section are arranged linearly along the film processing and packaging process. Therefore, each facility can be effectively arranged in the work place, and dead space can be eliminated as much as possible to efficiently utilize the space.
[0020]
Further, the facilities such as the film supply unit, the film winding unit, and the assembly unit are each configured as a single unit, and the units are connected to each other via a transport unit. Thus, when installing the equipment in the work place, the installation work may be performed for each unit, and the installation is greatly improved as compared with the case where the entire apparatus has an integrated structure.
[0021]
Furthermore, the film supply unit is provided with a suction / discharge unit for forcibly discharging the defective film. When a defective film is generated, a discharge hopper is arranged in the film transport path, and the defective film is sucked from the discharge hopper under the action of an air suction source and accumulated in the accumulation chamber. Therefore, the defective film can be easily and reliably discharged, and the structure of the suction / discharge means can be easily simplified.
[0022]
The apparatus further includes one or more equipment management computers for managing and controlling equipment such as a film supply unit, a film winding unit, and an assembly unit, and a production information management computer that manages the equipment management computer.
[0023]
Therefore, when production information, for example, film type, dimensions and number of films, is input to the production information management computer, the production instruction necessary for product type setting is made based on the type information and the like previously input to the production information management computer. Data (eg, control constants) is sent to the equipment management computer. The equipment management computer receives the production instruction data, sets various processing and packaging conditions accompanying a change in product type, and manages and controls each equipment.
[0024]
Thus, the load on the process controller of each facility can be reduced, and the control system can be simplified. Moreover, in the factory, a plurality of equipments are installed, and the film processing and packaging steps are performed in parallel. At this time, the type setting for each of these facilities can be performed by one production information management computer, and the facility costs can be reduced.
[0025]
Further, the operation status of each facility and the occurrence of a failure can be monitored by the operation panel, and when a trouble occurs, the situation in the dark room can be directly confirmed by the television monitor. For example, when the jamming of the film occurs in the cutting section, the operator can recognize the indication of the occurrence of the jamming on the operation panel and visually recognize the situation of the jamming through the television monitor, so that the treatment in the dark room is appropriate and prompt. Will be able to perform.

[0094]
The operation of the processing and packaging apparatus 10 configured as described above will be described below.
[0095]
First, the operator operates the operation panel 90 to perform a type setting operation. At this time, various setting conditions as shown in FIG. 28 are displayed on the monitor of the operation panel 90. When the processing and packaging apparatus 10 is operating, a status display as shown in FIG. 29 is made.
[0096]
Therefore, the film roll 14 mounted on the rewinding shaft 132 is driven by a motor 142 constituting the rotating means 138 to drive the pulley 146, the belt 148 and the driven pulley 150, as shown in FIGS. 7, the unwinding end portion is conveyed to the joining portion 122 in the direction of arrow J in FIG.
[0097]
As shown in FIG. 9, in the joining section 122, the rear end of the long film F is suction-held on the joining table 160, and the leading end of the new long film F unwound from the rewind shaft 132 is joined to the joining preparation table. 162 is held by suction. After the joining tape 170 is wound around the peripheral surface of the attaching table 172, the rod 176 descends under the driving action of the cylinder 174, and the attaching table 172 and the tape cutter 180 descend integrally with the elevating table 178. Thus, the joining tape 170 is attached to the rear end of the long film F on the joining table 160 to a predetermined width. Next, while the elevating table 178 rises, the joining table 160 moves in the directions of arrows C and D. For this reason, the rear end of the long film F is partially overlapped and pasted on the front end of the new long film F sucked to the joining preparation table 162 via the joining tape 170.
[0098]
After the joining process is performed, the long film F is transported to the perforation unit 126. As shown in FIG. 6, in the perforated portion 126, the suction chambers 206 and 208 are sucked, so that the upstream side of the long film F is sucked between the feed roller 212 and the pass roller 210, and The downstream side of the film F is sucked between the sprocket roller 214 and the pass roller 216. Accordingly, the long film F is given a predetermined tension between the sprocket roller 214 and the feed roller 212, and the punch block 204 moves up and down to move the long film F under the action of the punch block 204 and the die block 200. Perforations 124 are formed on both sides of the film F.
[0099]
Next, the feed roller 212 and the sprocket roller 214 are intermittently rotated via an index device (not shown). After the long film F is intermittently fed at a predetermined feed amount, the punch block 204 is moved up and down, so that the perforations 124 are formed on both sides of the long film F via the punch block 204 and the die block 200. Is formed. By repeating the above operation, the perforations 124 are continuously formed at a constant pitch on the long film F.
[0100]
The perforated long film F is conveyed to the side print unit 128, and a band-shaped side print corresponding to the film type is recorded as a latent image on one or both sides of the long film F via the first print unit 222. (See FIGS. 6 and 7). After a free loop is provided between the pass roller 220 and the sprocket 224, the side film-printed long film F is passed through a second print unit 226 disposed corresponding to the sprocket 224 according to the film size. A DX barcode, a frame number, a frame number barcode, and a product name are recorded as a latent image.
[0101]
The long film F that has passed through the side print unit 128 is sent to the cutting unit 130, and is cut into a predetermined length by the movable blade 228 and the fixed blade 230, and the fixed-size film 16 is obtained. At the time of this cutting, the rear end 16c of the cut fixed-size film 16 and the front end of the fixed-size film 16 to be created next are processed. At the same time as the processing of the tip, a hole for locking the spool is formed.
[0102]
When a defective portion, for example, a joint portion of the old and new long films F is conveyed to the cutting section 130, the opening / closing guide 234 is separated from the film conveyance path, and the discharge hopper 246 constituting the suction / discharge means 244 is conveyed by the film conveyance. Move on the street. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10, when the air blow means 256 is driven, the defective film Fa is sucked by the discharge hopper 246 and the rear end thereof is cut by the cutting section 130 to thereby discharge the discharge chute 248. Is sucked into the accumulation chamber 252 in the discharge box 250 arranged in the bright room 72 via Thus, the defective film Fa can be reliably sucked and discharged into the accumulation chamber 252 with an extremely simple configuration, and the occurrence of troubles such as the defective film Fa clogging on the transport path can be reliably prevented. . In addition, the discharge chute 248 has a portion that is bent by 90 °, and can have a light shielding function when discharging from the dark room 44 to the bright room 72.
[0103]
Hereinafter, the operation of obtaining the fixed-size film 16 via the cutting unit 130 will be described in detail. First, as shown in FIG. 30A, when the leading end of the long film F is conveyed corresponding to the cutting portion 130, the sprocket 224, the nip roller 232, and the pair of rollers 236 and 238 are rotated at a constant linear speed. Starts transporting. As shown in FIG. 30B, when the long film F passes through the opening / closing guide 234, the opening / closing guide 234 is opened and retracted from the transport path (see FIG. 30C), and then the end of the long film F is not shown. It passes through the deceleration detecting means. At this time, the roller pairs 236 and 238 are decelerated, and the transport speed of the long film F is reduced to the insert speed.
[0104]
As a result, a speed difference is generated between the nip roller 232 and the pair of rollers 236 and 238, and a loop is formed in the long film F at the position of the opening / closing guide 234. Further, as shown in FIG. 30D, after the nip position of the nip roller 232 is changed and the projection angle of the long film F is changed, the long film F is transferred to the spool 20 disposed in the film winding section 22. When inserted, the rotation of the roller pair 236, 238 is stopped. On the other hand, after the fixed-length conveyance by the nip rollers 232 is completed, the cutting unit 130 is driven to cut the long film F to obtain the fixed-size film 16.
[0105]
In the film winding section 22, the spool 20 is sequentially sent out from the spool conveyor 513 to the support arm 278, and the spool 20 is sent to the spool chuck means 264 arranged at the spool supply station ST1 of the turntable 262 (see FIG. )reference). In the spool chuck means 264, as shown in FIG. 12, the movable chuck 276 is displaced toward the fixed chuck 274 by a spring or the like (not shown), and both ends of the spool 20 are gripped by the movable chuck 276 and the fixed chuck 274.
[0106]
Next, when the main shaft 260 is intermittently rotated in the direction of arrow E and the spool chuck means 264 holding the spool 20 reaches the spool positioning station ST2, the spool positioning means 266 is configured as shown in FIG. The claw member 280 is pressed against the spool 20. Here, when the spool 20 is rotationally driven via a clutch (not shown), the claw member 280 is locked to the step portion of the spool 20, and the positioning of the spool 20 is performed.
[0107]
When the turntable 262 further rotates in the direction of arrow E and the spool 20 reaches the insert station ST3, the fixed-size film 16 is transferred to the turntable 262 as shown in FIG. The tip 16a of the 16 is inserted into the groove of the spool 20. Then, the guide plate 242 is opened, and the rear end 16c of the fixed-size film 16 hangs down toward the film guide 288 (see FIG. 31D).
[0108]
Further, when the turntable 262 rotates and the spool chuck means 264 holding the spool 20 reaches the prewind station ST4, the prewind motor 282 constituting the prewind means 270 is driven as shown in FIG. A not-shown touch roller slides on the spool chuck means 264 via the belt pulley means 284 to rotate the spool 20. For this reason, the fixed-size film 16 whose leading end 16a is locked to the spool 20 is pre-wound to a predetermined length on the spool 20 (see FIG. 31 (e)). At this time, as shown in FIG. 7, when the rear end 16c of the fixed-size film 16 passes through the first photosensor 290a, the rotation speed of the touch roller is reduced, and the rear end 16c is further moved by the second photosensor 290b. Is detected, the rotation of the spool 20 is stopped.
[0109]
Next, when the turntable 262 rotates and the spool chuck means 264 holding the pre-wound spool 20 reaches the wind station ST5, the wind motor 292 constituting the wind means 272 is driven. Thus, the fixed-size film 16 is wound on the spool 20, and a wound body 32 is obtained (see FIG. 31 (f)).
[0110]
As shown in FIG. 11, after the winding body 32 is gripped by the holder 300 constituting the first transfer 294, when the holder 300 is turned by 180 °, the winding body 32 is rotated by 90 ° from the horizontal posture to the vertical posture. Is held by the holding member 306 constituting the second transfer 296 in this standing posture. In the second transfer 296, the swivel table 304 rotates integrally with the vertical rotation shaft 302, and the winding table 32 held by the holding member 306 remains in the upright posture to form the index table 308 constituting the assembly unit 36. It is made to stand by above the chuck 312 arranged in the insert station ST3. The one-sided cartridge 28 is placed on the chuck 312.
[0111]
On the other hand, in the patrone manufacturing section 30, as shown in FIG. 15, after the body plate 24 is gripped by the core metal 350 and the support 352, the shaft 340 is displaced vertically upward via a cam mechanism (not shown). For this reason, the roller holder 342 rises, and a rounding roller 332 provided at the tip end of an arm 344 slidably supported by the roller holder 342 comes into sliding contact with the body plate 24, and the body plate 24 is Rounding is performed along the shape of the gold 350 (see a two-dot chain line in FIG. 15).
[0112]
Next, as shown in FIG. 14, when the shaft 354 constituting the caulking mechanism 336 is displaced to the rounding roller mechanism 334 side, the chuck 360 that moves to the rounding roller mechanism 334 side integrally with the chuck holder 358 causes the rounding. The body plate 24 rounded by the roller mechanism 334 is gripped. With the movement of the chuck holder 358, the swaging head 364 moves in the direction of the arrow due to the movement of the shaft 362, and the cap 26 is fitted to one end of the rounded body plate 24.
