Description

即ち、フィルムサイズが大きいとフィルム長さが長いので本数が少なくなり、また、ダンサー位置が高くなるとフィルムの量が少なくなるので本数が少なくなる。
【０２７０】
ダンサーを使わないアキューム方法、エアーループ方式等にはフィルムの量を光電センサ等で直接判断して、フィルムの排出量をコントロールする方法が考えられる。
【０２７１】
この不良フィルム信号は、感光性フィルムの間欠移動１本分に同期して１つずつシフトする。シフト制御手段７２２では、不良フィルムの印は感光性フィルムの移動に伴ってリフト上でシフトしていき、例えば感光性フィルムが１本分搬送されると、ソフト上の信号が１本分前にシフトしていく。この時に不良フィルムの印はＸ本目からＸ−１本目に繰り上げられる。
【０２７２】
不良フィルム排出手段７２３は感光性フィルムが定尺切断の直後にある切替ゲート７３７を制御し、排出シュートの直前位置に不良フィルムがくるとシフトしてきた不良フィルム信号により感光性フィルムの搬送経路ｃから排出通路ｄに切替え不良の感光性フィルムを排出シュート７３８より系外へ排出する。この排出シュート７３８には不良の感光性フィルムを暗室から明室に排出するための遮光機能を有し、遮光性トンネルトなっている。
【０２７３】
不良の種類・発生状況によっては切替ゲート７３７からの排出が間に合わない場合もあるが、その場合は不良フィルムの印がさらに先の工程までシフトしていき、他の排出口７４９から確実に排出される。その場合でもできるだけ材料を無駄にしないように材料供給にインターロックがかかるようにする。このインターロック方法は、例えば図示しないエアシリンダによってカムから外れる又はエアシリンダが作動しないようにする。
【０２７４】
切替ゲート７３７は、図６０及び図６１に示すように、分岐経路７３９ａ，７３９ｂ，７３９ｃが形成された円柱状のブロック７３９で形成され、このブロック７３９が回転することにより感光性フィルムが搬送される経路が変わり、一方は通常の組立経路ｃとなり、一方は排出経路ｄとなる。
【０２７５】
また、図６２及び図６３では切替ゲート７３７が１個の経路７４０ａを有する板状のブロック７４０で形成され、このブロック７４０が支持軸７４１を支点に組立経路ｃと排出経路ｄに経路が切り替わる。また、図６４及び図６５では切替ゲート７３７が板状のブロック７４２で形成され、このブロック７４２をスライドして逃がすことで組立経路ｃと排出経路ｄに経路が切り替わる。さらに、図６６は切替ゲート７３７が２本の経路７４３ａ，７４３ｂを有するブロック７４３で形成され、このブロック７４３のスライドで切替わり、ブロック７４３の経路７４３ａが組立経路ｃと連通し、ブロック７４３の経路７４３ｂが排出経路ｄと連通する。図６７では切替ゲート７３７が切替爪７４４で形成され、この切替爪７４４が組立経路ｃと排出経路ｄの分岐部に設けられ、切替爪７４４の作動によって組立経路ｃと排出経路ｄの切替が行われる。
【０２７６】
また、排出シュート７３８は図６８に示すように、２枚の先端を９０度ひねって曲げたプレート７４５，７４６を接合して形成され、この遮光手段としては、フィルム排出口７３８ａは明室になっているため、生産している暗室側に光の侵入がないように設けられている。
【０２７７】
この遮光構造は第１に、フィルム排出口７３８ａから曲げ部７３８ｂに光が反射しない黒色シュート７４８、例えば塗装、着色等が用いられる。この実施例では、黒く着色した樹脂シュートを使用しており、外部からの光を途中で吸収している。
【０２７８】
また、遮光構造は第２に、排出シュート７３８は途中で光がもれない構造で密封されており、シュート入口７３８ｃは小さくその長さは十分なために、シュート入口７３８ｃから入ってくる光は少なく、段々吸収されてしまい、奥まで入ってこない。また、隙間を遮光性トンネルと同様の手段、例えば、黒色コーキング剤で遮光する。
【０２７９】
さらに、遮光構造は第３に、排出シュート７３８を途中で９０°ひねりかつ先端部は曲線状になっているため、直線性がある光は奥までいけずに途中で吸収されてしまう。
【０２８０】
実際の排出シュート７３８は黒色のシュート部品２つを組み合わせる構造になっており、２つの部品の嵌め合い構造になっており、光が外に漏れない。また、排出シュート７３８途中で９０°ひねり、さらに先端部はカーブする構造になっている。
【０２８１】
次に、フィルム搬送シュートと排出シュートのさらに具体的な実施例について説明する。フィルム搬送シュートは、シュート幅はフィルム幅に対して＋０．１〜２．０ｍｍの範囲が好ましく、さらに好ましくは＋０．１〜０．３ｍｍである。これは、フィルム搬送シュートは、係止や切断時の精度が要求されるためである。また、フィルム搬送シュートはシュート厚さが、フィルム厚さに対して＋０．１〜２．０ｍｍの範囲が好ましく、さらに好ましくは＋１ｍｍ前後である。これは、フィルム搬送シュートは厚みが大きいと搬送中にバタツキがあるため、フィルム傷が発生し、又小さいと擦れ傷がつくためである。
【０２８２】
排出シュートは製品にならないため傷に関しては気にする必要が無いため搬送を重視する。従って、排出シュートのシュート幅はフィルム幅に対して＋０．１〜１０ｍｍの範囲が好ましく、さらに好ましくは＋５ｍｍ前後である。
【０２８３】
次に、フィルム排出の作動を、図６９及び図７０のフローチャートに基づいて説明する。まず、メインフローチャートでは、ステップＨ１で電源を投入すると、ステップＨ２で不良フィルム信号が入力され、ステップＨ３でフィルム１本分を搬送する。そして、ステップＨ４でフィルム信号をシフトし、ステップＨ５で不良フィルム信号の有無の判断を行い、不良フィルム信号が入力されている場合には、ステップＨ６でフィルム排出ゲートを切替えて不良フィルムを排出する。
【０２８４】
このメインフローの作動中に、割り込みフローチャートのステップＩ１で不良フィルムが発生すると、ステップＩ２不良フィルム信号が入力される。この割り込みフローによって、メインフローではステップＨ５で不良フィルム信号の有無の判断を行い、不良フィルム信号が入力されている場合には、ステップＨ６でフィルム排出ゲートを切替えて不良フィルムを排出する。
【０２８５】
このように、感光性フィルムマガジンの製造において、感光性フィルムの良・不良を検出し、不良が検出された場合、不良フィルム信号を出力し、この不良フィルム信号を感光性フィルムの移動に同期してシフトし、感光性フィルムを系外に排出することが可能な搬送経路切替え位置に対応する箇所に、不良フィルム信号がシフトされた場合、感光性フィルムを系外に排出するよう搬送経路を切替え、不良フィルム信号がシフトされない場合、感光性フィルムを感光性フィルムマガジンの組み立てに供するよう搬送経路を切替え、不良フィルムを系外に排出し、不良でない感光性フィルムを感光性フィルムマガジンの組み立てに供する。
【０２８６】
また、感光性フィルムマガジンの製造において、感光性フィルムの不良箇所を検出し、感光性フィルムの不良箇所が、感光性フィルムを系外に排出することが可能な搬送経路切替え位置に、到達した場合、感光性フィルムの不良箇所を系外に排出するよう搬送経路を切替え、それ以外の場合、感光性フィルムを感光性フィルムマガジンの組み立てに供するよう搬送経路を切替え、不良フィルムを系外に排出し、不良でないフィルムを感光性フィルムマガジンの組み立てに供する。
【０２８７】
また、感光性フィルムマガジンの製造において、感光性フィルムの不良箇所が、感光性フィルムを系外に排出することが可能な搬送経路切替え位置に、到達した場合、感光性フィルムの不良箇所を系外に排出するよう搬送経路を切替え、感光性フィルムの不良箇所を、感光性フィルムの供給・加工および感光性フィルムマガジンの組立に供する部分を実質的に暗室状態にするのに必要な区間を排出シュート７３８の遮光性トンネルで覆われた所定の経路に沿って、非暗室状態の系外に排出し、また、それ以外の場合、感光性フィルムを感光性フィルムマガジンの組み立てに供するよう搬送経路を切替え、不良フィルムを系外に排出し、不良でない感光性フィルムを感光性フィルムマガジンの組み立てに供する。
【０２８８】
従って、感光性フィルムに不良なものが混入・発生した場合、そのバッチの感光性フィルムマガジンを全て捨てる必要をなくし、装置の運転を停止することも無く、自動的に不良なものを排出し、また、不良なものを含む感光性フィルムマガジンが感光性フィルムマガジン包装体として組み立てられる可能性を少なくすることができる。また、不良フィルムを自動的に排出する際でも、遮光性トンネルにより、暗室状態を維持しながら、連続的に排出することにより、不良フィルムの排出の際の生産性の低下を防止することができる。
【０２８９】
また、不良フィルムの検出、さらに扉開放、装置の故障、長時間停止時に必要な分の不良フィルムが自動的に排出され、従って、人為的ミスによる不良フィルムの混入がない。従来、困難だった装置の故障や長時間停止による不良フィルムの排出が可能である。また、感光性フィルムの品質が安定するため、製品品質の安定化や装置の安定稼働に貢献できる。オペレータ作業の軽減によりオペレータの省人化が可能である。
【０２９０】
次に、検査装置４２０について、図７１及び図７２に基づいて詳細に説明する。図７１は検査装置の平面図、図７２は図７１のＤ−Ｄ線に沿う断面図である。検査装置４２０には検査装置制御手段４２１が備えられ、この検査装置４２０にフィルム加工組込部３００より送られてきた内装品８を検査ターレット４２２に移載した後、この検査ターレット４２２でパトローネ有無検出、引出しトルク、舌端長さ、キャップの傷、パトローネのつぶれ及びキャップとスプールのクリアランス等をチェックし、この検出信号は検査装置制御手段４２１に入力される。
【０２９１】
検査装置４２０は内装品８を保持しながら搬送し連続して検査を行う構造になっており、例えば特開昭６２−３６６６４号公報の連続検査装置及び特開昭６２−３９７０８号公報の連続検査装置を用いることができる。
【０２９２】
パトローネ有無検出には、ホルダーに内装品８がチャックされているかどうかをパトローネ有無検出センサ４２３で検出する。パトローネ有無検出センサ４２３には非接触のセンサが用いられ、このパトローネ有無検出センサ４２３として、例えば反射型光電センサまたは透過型光電センサ、あるいは磁気式の近接センサ等が用いられる。なお、ネガフィルムでは、光電センサが好ましい。
【０２９３】
そして、このパトローネ有無検出センサ４２３で内装品８を検出した後、次の検査を行なう。
【０２９４】
引出しトルクのチェックはフィルム引出ユニット４２４により、内装品８から出ている感光性フィルムをクランプして、引き出した時の引出荷重を測定する。この引出しトルク、舌端長さのチェックには、例えば実開昭５８−７１７３７号のフィルムの引出荷重検出装置及び特開昭６２−４０４５１号公報のフィルム引き出し抵抗測定装置を用いることができる。
【０２９５】
舌端長さのチェックはフィルム引出ユニット４２４により、引出トルクを測定した後に引き出されたフィルムの長さが所定の長さになっているかを光電センサで検出する。この舌端長さのチェックには、例えば実開昭５８−７１７３９号のフィルムのリーダ部長さ検査装置を用いることができる。
【０２９６】
キャップ傷のチェックは内装品８を１回転させ、キャップの傷を光学式変位センサ４２５で検出する。また、パトローネつぶれのチェックは内装品８を１回転させ、内装品８に光を当て、反射した光量をフォトカプラに受けてその電圧量で検出する。この他のパトローネつぶれのチェック方法として、例えば特開昭６２−３９７１０号公報のパトローネ周面検査装置が用いられ、このものは例えば渦電流変位計で計測してパトローネ周面の凹凸を検査する。
【０２９７】
キャップとスプールとのクリアランスのチェックは、クリアランス測定装置４２６でパトローネ内のスプール軸方向の遊び量を差動トランスの電圧量で検出する。このキャップとスプールとのクリアランスのチェックには、例えば特開昭６２−４０４５２号公報のパトローネクリアランス測定装置が用いられる。
【０２９８】
検査ターレット４２２でチェックされた内装品８は吸着機構４２７により検査ターレット４２２から回転ターレット４２８に受け渡される。この吸着機構４２７は検査装置制御手段４２１により制御され、検査ターレット４２２での検査情報に基づき不良品がくると、検査装置制御手段４２１が吸着機構４２７の吸着台４２９が矢印方向へ作動して不良品が落下して不良品排出シュート４３０から内装品８の不良品は系外排出させる。
【０２９９】
回転ターレット４２８にはパトローネ容器９が供給され、内装品８をパトローネ容器９に入れる。回転ターレット４２８では系外に排出する内装品８の不良品に同期して容器ストッパ４３１を作動させ、パトローネ容器９の供給を停止してパトローネ容器９が無駄にならないようにしている。良品の内装品８を入れたパトローネ容器９を容器キャップ１０でキャッピングして、その後キャッピング状態を検査して、良品は排出して次工程送り用コンテナに回収し、不良品は別の箱に回収する。
【０３００】
次に、検査装置制御手段４２１での制御を詳細に説明する。まず、良品及び不良品のシフトを[表２]に示す。
【０３０１】
【表２】

良品の場合について説明する。パトローネ有無検出ステーションで内装品８を検出すると、良品シフトＭ１１０がＯＮする。検査ターレット４２２が１サイクル移動したことを角度検出手段が判断すると、Ｍ１１０の情報はＭ１１１へシフトされる。Ｍ１１１がＯＮしている時は製品が次のステーションへ移動できたと判断し、トルクの検査を行う。このような動作を繰り返し最終的に取出ステーションのＭ１１５にきたところで、不良フラグが立っていなければ、良品を判断する。
【０３０２】
不良品の場合について説明する。仮にトルク検査ステーションで製品が不良となった場合は、不良シフトをＯＮさせる。これを１サイクル毎順次情報を移動させ、最終的に取出ステーションにきた時点では、Ｍ１３４の情報がＭ１３８に移動してしているために不良と判断する。
【０３０３】
次に、図７３に不良品排出の排出フローチャートを示す。ステップＪ１で、取出ステーションにきた時点で製品があるか否かの判断を行い、製品がある場合にはステップＪ２で良品か否かの判断を行い、良品の場合にはステップＪ３で容器ストッパ４３１を開く。そして、ステップＪ４で吸着機構４２７の吸着台４２９を閉じており、ステップＪ５で製品を吸着して、ステップＪ６でパトローネ容器９に挿入して、ステップＪ７でキャッピングする。
【０３０４】
ステップＪ２で製品が不良と判断された場合には、ステップＪ８に移行して容器ストッパ４３１を閉じ、ステップＪ９で吸着機構４２７の吸着台４２９を開き、ステップＪ１０で不良シュートへ落下させる。ステップＪ１０で不良の製品が落下しない場合には、ステップＪ１１で機械を停止し、ステップＪ１２で不良品を取り除く。
【０３０５】
このように、暗室状態下の感光性フィルムマガジン組立部であるフィルム加工組込部３００で組立られた感光性フィルムマガジンである内装品８を、容器収納部４００で感光性フィルムマガジン容器に収納して、感光性フィルムマガジン包装体を製造するが、フィルム加工組込部３００から、所定の経路で、順々に、内装品８を供給し、内装品８を１つづつ検査し、検査された内装品８を、容器収納部４００へ、所定の経路で、順々に、供給し、その検査の結果、良と判定された内装品８のみを感光性フィルムマガジン容器に収納する。従って、感光性フィルムマガジン包装体の製造において、品質と生産性を向上させ、ロスを減少させることができる。また、暗室状態の内部と外部との間の製品収納箱による出し入れを廃止し、暗室状態の内部から内装品８を取り出す際の、傷や変形を防止し、順々に搬送することにより、生産性を向上させることができる。また、内装品８を全数検査した後、良品のみを感光性フィルムマガジン容器に収納することにより、ロスを減少させることができる。
【０３０６】
次に、フィルム加工組込部３００と、フィルム接合部１００、片カシメパトローネ加工装置２２０、スプール供給装置２４０、パトローネキャップ供給装置２６０及び検査装置４２０との連結について説明する。
【０３０７】
まず、フィルム加工組込部３００とフィルム接合部１００との連結は、図５４に示すように、フィルム加工組込部３００とフィルム接合部１００との間を、遮光性トンネル８００で連結し、この遮光性トンネル８００の中に感光性フィルムを通すようになっている。この遮光性トンネル８００は遮光性部材で一体形成しているが、透過性部材で形成し、これを遮光性カバーで覆ったり、遮光剤を塗布したものでもよい。
【０３０８】
次に、フィルム加工組込部３００とスプール供給装置２４０との連結を、図５４、図７４及び図７５に示す。図７４はフィルム加工組込部とスプール供給装置との連結を示す側面図、図７５はフィルム加工組込部とスプール供給装置との連結を示す平面図である。
【０３０９】
スプール供給装置２４０の集中収納部２４２には搬送ガイド８０１が接続され、この搬送ガイド８０１によってスプール７が横置きで整列して搬送され、このスプール７は回転ターレット８０２に順次供給される。この回転ターレット８０２はベルト８０７で図示しないモータに連結されている。この回転ターレット８０２でスプール７の形状をチェックしながら所定のタイミングでシュート８０３の口部８０３ａに供給され、このシュート８０３が部品供給手段を構成している。
【０３１０】
このスプール７を搬送するためのシュート全体を遮光性カバー８０４で被って遮光性トンネル８０５が形成され、この遮光性トンネル８０５でスプール７がフィルム加工組込部３００のスプール組立部３０４に供給され、スプール７を明室から暗室状態のフィルム加工組込部３００に入れる。このフィルム加工組込部３００には遮光性トンネル８０５がブラケット等の遮光部材８１２で遮光状態に取り付けられている。
【０３１１】
また、遮光性トンネル８０５のスプール７が入る部分から光が入るのを防ぐために、口部８０５ａの近傍８０５ｂを屈曲させて口部８０５ａから光が入ることを防止している。また、スプール７と遮光性トンネル８０５のトンネル内壁間の隙間は殆どないことが好ましく、３ｍｍ以下が良く、より好ましくは２ｍｍ以下であり、さらに好ましくは上下合わせて１ｍｍ以下であり、スプールの遮光性トンネルの長さは５０ｃｍ以上が好ましく、より好ましくは１ｍ以上である。スプール７自体も遮光の役割を果す。
【０３１２】
また、遮光性トンネル８０５には部品検出手段８０６が設けられ、この部品検出手段８０６で遮光性トンネル８０５内に位置するスプール７を検出し、この部品検出手段８０６の検出信号を上位制御手段３１７に送り、遮光性トンネル８０５内にスプール７が位置するときに回転ターレット８０２の駆動を停止させる。例えば、遮光性トンネル８０５のスプール７が完全になくなると、そこから光が入るので制御的に遮光性トンネル８０５にスプール７が完全になくならないようにしている。
【０３１３】
このように、感光性フィルムマガジンの製造において、感光性フィルムマガジン組立部であるフィルム加工組込部３００へ、部品供給部２００のスプール供給装置２４０から、フィルム加工組込部３００を実質的に暗室状態にするのに必要な区間を遮光性トンネル８０５で覆われた所定の経路で、順々に、部品であるスプール７を供給する。
【０３１４】
また、感光性フィルムマガジンの製造において、所定の経路の中で、遮光性トンネル８０５で覆われた区間の所定の位置で、部品であるスプール７が存在するか否かを検出し、その検出に従って、遮光性トンネル８０５で覆われたフィルム加工組込部３００を実質的に暗室状態にするのに必要な区間に必ずスプール７が１つ以上存在するように、所定の経路におけるスプール７の搬送を制御する。
【０３１５】
従って、感光性フィルムマガジンの製造において、品質と生産性を向上させ、ロスを減少させることができる。また、感光性フィルムマガジンの製造において、遮光性トンネル８０５を用いることにより、順々に部品であるスプール７を搬送することができる。また、暗室状態の内部と外部との間の部品収納箱による出し入れを廃止し、暗室状態の内部に部品を供給する際の、傷や変形を防止し、順々に搬送することにより、生産性を向上させることができる。また、製造された感光性フィルムマガジンに、傷や変形が少ない。
【０３１６】
次に、フィルム加工組込部３００と、片カシメパトローネ加工装置２２０、パトローネキャップ供給装置２６０及び検査装置４２０との連結を、図５４、図７６乃至図８０に示す。図７６はフィルム加工組込部と片カシメパトローネ加工装置及び検査装置との連結を示す側面図、図７７はフィルム加工組込部と片カシメパトローネ加工装置及び検査装置との連結を示す平面図、図７８はフィルム加工組込部と片カシメパトローネ加工装置との連結を示す斜視図、図７９はフィルム加工組込部とパトローネキャップ供給装置との連結を示す側面図、図８０は図７９のＦ−Ｆ線に沿う断面図である。
【０３１７】
片カシメパトローネ加工装置２２０からマグネットコンベア４０がフィルム加工組込部３００の内部に設けられ、このマグネットコンベア４０はモータ４１で駆動される。このマグネットコンベア４０は片カシメパトローネ加工装置２２０で作成された片カシメパトローネ６を吸着して搬送し、フィルム加工組込部３００の内部に配置された供給用シュート７０８に供給される。この片カシメパトローネ６は、この供給用シュート７０８から分離用スターホイール３７１に供給され、整列搬送機構３７３で片カシメパトローネ６の向きを揃えて所定のタイミングでプレターレット３７４に送られ、このプレターレット３７４からパトローネ組付部３０６へ供給される。このマグネットコンベア４０は部品搬送手段を構成しており、このマグネットコンベア４０は遮光性トンネル４４で、その所定の経路を遮光を維持できるのに必要な区間好ましくは５０ｃｍ以上、より好ましくは１ｍ以上覆われている。この遮光性トンネル４４はフィルム加工組込部３００の外側部８１０に取り付けられ、この取付部４４ａは遮光構造になっている。
【０３１８】
この遮光性トンネル４４のトンネル内壁と、片カシメパトローネ６との間隔は、搬送される片カシメパトローネ６が干渉しない程度に狭くすることが遮光の点で好ましい。片カシメパトローネ６とトンネル内壁間の隙間は、ほとんどないことが好ましく、３ｍｍ以下が良く、より好ましくは２ｍｍ以下であり、さらに好ましくは上下合わせて１ｍｍ以下であり、これにより片カシメパトローネ６自体も遮光の役割を果す。
【０３１９】
また、マグネットコンベア４０及び遮光性トンネル４４は途中を屈曲させており、このようにマグネットコンベア４０及び遮光性トンネル４４を屈曲させることで、簡単な構造で効果的に遮光することができる。
【０３２０】
この遮光性トンネル４４には部品検出手段４５が設けられ、この部品検出手段４５で遮光性トンネル４４内に位置する片カシメパトローネ６を検出し、この部品検出手段４５の検出信号を上位制御装置３１７に送り、遮光性トンネル４４内の片カシメパトローネ６の数が一定量以上のときにマグネットコンベア４０と片カシメパトローネ加工装置２２０の駆動を停止させている。これにより、遮光性トンネル４４の片カシメパトローネ６が完全になくなると、そこから光が入るので制御的に遮光性トンネル４４に片カシメパトローネ６が完全になくならないようにしている。
【０３２１】
このように、感光性フィルムマガジンの製造において、感光性フィルムマガジン組立部であるフィルム加工組込部３００へ、部品供給部２００の片カシメパトローネ加工装置２２０から、フィルム加工組込部３００を実質的に暗室状態にするのに必要な区間を遮光性トンネル４４で覆われた所定の経路で、順々に、前記部品を供給する。
【０３２２】
また、感光性フィルムマガジンの製造において、所定の経路の中で、遮光性トンネル４４で覆われた区間の所定の位置で、部品である片カシメパトローネ６が存在するか否かを検出し、その検出に従って、遮光性トンネル４４で覆われたフィルム加工組込部３００を実質的に暗室状態にするのに必要な区間に必ず片カシメパトローネ６が１つ以上存在するように、所定の経路における片カシメパトローネ６の搬送を制御する。
【０３２３】
従って、感光性フィルムマガジンの製造において、品質と生産性を向上させ、ロスを減少させることができる。また、遮光性トンネル４４を用いることにより、順々に部品である片カシメパトローネ６を搬送することができる。また、暗室状態の内部と外部との間の部品収納箱による出し入れを廃止し、暗室状態の内部に片カシメパトローネ６を供給する際の、傷や変形を防止し、順々に搬送することにより、生産性を向上させることができる。また、製造された感光性フィルムマガジンに、傷や変形が少ない。
【０３２４】
また、パトローネキャップ供給装置２６０からパトローネキャップ１１を供給するキャップシュート５０が、フィルム加工組込部３００の内部にまで設けられ、このキャップシュート５０でパトローネキャップ１１がフィルム加工組込部３００の内部に配置されたパトローネ組付部３０６へ供給される。このキャップシュート５０は、図６６に示すように、凹状の溝５１ａを有する遮光性部材５１と、この凹状の溝５１ａを覆う板状部材５２から構成されている。このキャップシュート５０の供給部５０ａには取り出し孔５１ｂがあり、ストッパ５３で位置決めされたパトローネキャップ１１を作動部材５４で押すと、パトローネキャップ１１が取り出し孔５１ｂから排出されて所定の位置へ供給される。
【０３２５】
キャップシュート５０は全体を遮光性カバー５５で覆って遮光性トンネル５６を構成し、その所定の経路を遮光を維持できるのに必要な区間好ましくは５０ｃｍ以上、より好ましくは１ｍ以上覆われる構造にしている。この遮光性トンネル５６はフィルム加工組込部３００の内部では遮光性ボックス５８で覆い、この遮光性ボックス５８を内側部８１１に取り付けている。この遮光性ボックス５８の取付部５８ａは遮光構造になっている。遮光性トンネル５６のトンネル内壁と、パトローネキャップ１１との間隔は、搬送されるパトローネキャップ１１が干渉しない程度に狭くすることが遮光の点で好ましい。例えば、パトローネキャップ１１の外周部と遮光性トンネル５６のトンネル内壁間の隙間は、３ｍｍ以下が良く、好ましくは２ｍｍ以下、より好ましくは上下合わせて０．５ｍｍ以下である。
【０３２６】
また、この遮光性トンネル５６には部品検出手段５７が設けられ、この部品検出手段５７で遮光性トンネル５６内に位置するパトローネキャップ１１を検出し、この部品検出手段５７の検出信号を上位制御手段３１７に送り、遮光性トンネル５６内にパトローネキャップ１１が位置するときに供給を停止させる。これにより、遮光性トンネル５６のパトローネキャップ１１が完全になくなると、そこから光が入るので制御的に遮光性トンネル５６にパトローネキャップ１１が完全になくならないようにしている。
【０３２７】
このように、感光性フィルムマガジンの製造において、感光性フィルムマガジン組立部であるフィルム加工組込部３００へ、部品供給部２００のパトローネキャップ供給装置２６０から、フィルム加工組込部３００を実質的に暗室状態にするのに必要な区間を遮光性トンネル５６で覆われた所定の経路で、順々に、部品であるパトローネキャップ供給装置２６０を供給する。
【０３２８】
また、感光性フィルムマガジンの製造において、所定の経路の中で、遮光性トンネル５６で覆われた区間の所定の位置で、部品であるパトローネキャップ１１が存在するか否かを検出し、その検出に従って、遮光性トンネル５６で覆われたフィルム加工組込部３００を実質的に暗室状態にするのに必要な区間に必ず部品であるパトローネキャップ１１が１つ以上存在するように、所定の経路におけるパトローネキャップ１１の搬送を制御する。
【０３２９】
従って、感光性フィルムマガジンの製造において、品質と生産性を向上させ、ロスを減少させることができる。また、遮光性トンネル５６を用いることにより、順々に部品であるパトローネキャップ１１を搬送することができる。また、暗室状態の内部と外部との間の部品収納箱による出し入れを廃止し、暗室状態の内部にパトローネキャップ１１を供給する際の、傷や変形を防止し、順々に搬送することにより、生産性を向上させることができる。また、製造された感光性フィルムマガジンに、傷や変形が少ない。
【０３３０】
次に、フィルム加工組込部３００と検査装置４２０との連結を、図５４、図７６及び図７７に基づいて説明する。フィルム加工組込部３００の内部からマグネットコンベア６０が検査装置４２０に渡って設けられ、このマグネットコンベア６０はモータ６１で駆動される。このマグネットコンベア６０はフィルム加工組込部３００で作成された、内装品８を吸着して搬送し、検査装置４２０に供給する。このマグネットコンベア６０は遮光性トンネル６２で、その所定の経路を遮光を維持できるのに必要な区間覆われ、この遮光性トンネル６２はフィルム加工組込部３００の外側部８１０に取り付けられ、この取付部６２ａは遮光構造になっている。
【０３３１】
この遮光性トンネル６２のトンネル内壁と組み込まれた内装品８との間隔は、搬送される内装品８が干渉しない程度に狭くすることが遮光の点で好ましい。内装品８と遮光性トンネル６２のトンネル内壁間の隙間がほとんどなく、３ｍｍ以下が良く、より好ましくは２ｍｍ以下であり、これにより内装品８自体も遮光壁の役割を果す。
【０３３２】
また、マグネットコンベア６０及び遮光性トンネル６２は内装品８が倒れることなく安定した姿勢で搬出できるように途中を屈曲させることなく直線状に形成されている。このため、遮光性トンネル６２によって形成される通路を、数箇所に設けた遮光幕６３で塞ぎ、この遮光幕６３を変形して内装品８の通過を許容する部材で形成しており、遮光性トンネル６２に内装品８がなくなったときに光が入ることを防止している。この遮光幕６３は、例えば黒布、黒ビロード、黒不織布等を用いることができる。
【０３３３】
このように、感光性フィルムマガジンの製造において、感光性フィルムマガジン組立部であるフィルム加工組込部３００から、フィルム加工組込部３００を実質的に暗室状態にするのに必要な区間を遮光性トンネル６２で覆われた所定の経路で、順々に、感光性フィルムマガジンである内装品８を、非暗室状態下に排出する。
【０３３４】
また、感光性フィルムマガジンの製造において、所定の経路の中で、遮光性トンネル６２で覆われた区間の所定の位置で、内装品８が存在するか否かを検出し、その検出に従って、遮光性トンネル６２で覆われたフィルム加工組込部３００を実質的に暗室状態にするのに必要な区間に必ず内装品８が１つ以上存在するように、所定の経路における内装品８の搬送を制御する。
【０３３５】
また、感光性フィルムマガジンの製造において、所定の経路の中で、遮光性トンネル６２で覆われた区間の所定の位置に、可とう性の遮光幕６３で塞ぎ、内装品８が可とう性の遮光幕６３を通過する時、内装品８が可とう性の遮光幕６３を変形させて通過する。
【０３３６】
従って、感光性フィルムマガジンの製造において、品質と生産性を向上させ、ロスを減少させることができる。また、遮光性トンネル６２を用いることにより、順々に感光性フィルムマガジンである内装品８を搬送することができる。また、暗室状態の内部と外部との間の製品収納箱による出し入れを廃止し、暗室状態の内部から内装品８を取り出す際の、傷や変形を防止し、順々に搬送することにより、生産性を向上させることができる。また、製造された感光性フィルムマガジンである内装品８に、傷や変形が少ない。
【０３３７】
このように、暗室状態において、感光性フィルムを連続的に供給し、供給された感光性フィルムを加工し、加工済感光性フィルムから感光性フィルムマガジンを組み立てる感光性フィルムマガジンの製造において、非暗室状態の系外と暗室状態の感光性フィルムの供給・加工および感光性フィルムマガジンの組み立てに供する部分との間の物品の搬送を、感光性フィルムの供給・加工および感光性フィルムマガジンの組立に供する部分を実質的に暗室状態にするのに必要な区間を遮光性トンネルで覆われた所定の経路に沿って行っている。
【０３３８】
また、感光性フィルムマガジン包装体の製造において、感光性フィルムマガジン組立部であるフィルム加工組込部３００から、フィルム加工組込部３００を実質的に暗室状態にするのに必要な区間を遮光性トンネル６２で覆われた所定の経路で、順々に、感光性フィルムマガジンである内装品８を供給し、非暗室状態下で、内装品８を１つづつ検査し、検査された内装品８を、容器収納部４００へ、所定の経路で、順々に、供給し、その検査の結果、良と判定された内装品８のみを感光性フィルムマガジン容器に収納する。
【０３３９】
従って、感光性フィルムマガジン包装体の製造において、品質と生産性を向上させ、ロスを減少させることができる。また、遮光性トンネル６２を用いることにより、順々に内装品８を搬送することができる。また、暗室状態の内部と外部との間の製品収納箱による出し入れを廃止し、暗室状態の内部から内装品８を取り出す際の、傷や変形を防止し、順々に搬送することにより、生産性を向上させることができる。また、内装品８を全数検査した後、良品のみを感光性フィルムマガジン容器に収納することにより、ロスを減少させることができる。
【０３４０】
なお、フィルム加工組込部３００と、フィルム接合部１００、片カシメパトローネ加工装置２２０、スプール供給装置２４０、パトローネキャップ供給装置２６０及び検査装置４２０が設置される部屋は、半明室であることが遮光の点で好ましい。
【０３４１】
また、明室状態が作業性等の点で好ましい片カシメパトローネ加工装置２２０、スプール供給装置２４０、パトローネキャップ供給装置２６０及び検査装置４２０と、暗室状態が感光性フィルムのかぶり等の点で好ましいフィルム加工組込部３００とを連結して、連続加工や処理を可能にしているため、作業者が明室で容易に運転でき、内装品の生産性を上げることができる。
【０３４２】
また、暗室状態の内部への部品収納箱や製品収納箱による出し入れと比べると、暗室状態の内部に組立用部品を入れたり、また暗室状態の内部から内装品８の取り出し構造が簡単である。
【０３４３】
また、部品収納箱に多数の部品を入れたり、製品収納箱に多数の内装品８を入れることがなくなるため、それぞれ接触で傷が付いたり、変形したりといったトラブルが減少し、品質が向上し部品収納箱や製品収納箱をセットする場所を確保する必要がなくなり、フィルムマガジン製造装置を小型化することができる。
【０３４４】
この発明に係る装置は耐荷重が好ましくは５００ｋｇｆ／ｍ２以上、より好ましくは１ｔｏｎｆ／ｍ２以上の建物に設置され、湿度が好ましくは４０〜７０ＲＨ％、より好ましくは５０〜６０ＲＨ％、温度は好ましくは１０〜３０℃、より好ましくは１５〜２５℃の一定温湿度の好ましくは±５ＲＨ％以内、±３℃以内に制御されていることが好ましい。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  This invention is a photosensitive film magazine.manufacturing deviceIt is about.
[0002]
In this patent application, the “photosensitive film magazine” is a magazine in which a photosensitive film is incorporated, and includes a part of the photosensitive film that comes out of the magazine and a part that does not. It is.
[0003]
Further, the “photosensitive film” is a web-like film having photosensitivity used for obtaining an image, and includes not only a film such as a silver halide color negative film but also a photographic paper, Moreover, it is not restricted only to a silver halide photographic film.
[0004]
The “original roll” is a roll of a photosensitive film used as a material for the photosensitive film magazine. Usually, the photosensitive film is wound on a roll core from several tens to several thousand meters. Is.
[0005]
The “light-shielding tunnel” is a tunnel-like one that covers the path with a light-shielding member, and substantially blocks light coming from a direction perpendicular to the path direction.
[0006]
The “dark room state” refers to a state in which fogging due to light is not observed even when the photosensitive film is left for several hours. Therefore, the state differs depending on the photosensitive film. For example, for a regular photosensitive film that only exposes the blue region, if there is substantially no light in the blue region, the dark room state is present even in the presence of red light. It is.
[0007]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, a photosensitive film magazine has been manufactured by taking out the original roll of the photosensitive film from the original roll storage container with one apparatus, unwinding the photosensitive film from the taken original roll, and unwinding the photosensitive film. And assembled the photosensitive film magazine from the parts. In another apparatus, a photosensitive film magazine is stored in a photosensitive film magazine container to manufacture a photosensitive film magazine package.
[0008]
And several photosensitive film magazine packaging bodies were extracted from one lot of the completed photosensitive film magazine packaging bodies, and the photosensitive film magazine was taken out from the photosensitive film magazine packaging body and inspected.
[0009]
In such a photosensitive film magazine manufacturing apparatus, a parts storage box containing a large number of parts is previously placed in a dark room, and the parts are taken out from the parts storage box to assemble and assemble the photosensitive film magazine. A large number of the photosensitive film magazines are stored in the product storage box, and the product storage box is taken out of the dark room.
[0010]
Further, the original winding storage container is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-190546, and the operator manually puts the original winding container into the original winding storage container having a light shielding function capable of storing one original winding in a dark room. Is to be loaded. And this original roll storage container was carried from a dark room by a hand truck or some kind of cart for carrying by hand, and manually set to the original roll supply position of the photosensitive film magazine manufacturing apparatus. Moreover, the operator also carried out the empty original container.
[0011]
One photosensitive film magazine manufacturing apparatus basically manufactures only one type of photosensitive film magazine, and when changing the type, the original roll storage container is manually replaced.
[0012]
Moreover, the unwinding of the photosensitive film from the original roll is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. 61-119555 and 1-162662. These have an original unwinding means for unwinding while holding two original rolls, and alternately using the other while preparing the next original roll while unwinding the photosensitive film. To do.
[0013]
The assembly of the photosensitive film magazine is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63-305353. When a spool around which a photosensitive film is wound is present, the cartridge body member is supplied. It was something to do.
[0014]
In addition, defective films due to machine stoppage, light leakage, etc. are dealt with by the operator discarding all the photosensitive film magazines of the batch when the cause of the occurrence occurs.
[0015]
[Problem to be Solved by the Invention]
By the way, in order to put the parts storage box and product storage box in and out of the dark room state of the photosensitive film magazine manufacturing apparatus, for example, a double structure of the inner door and the outer door is used, and the inner door and the outer door are alternately arranged. It is necessary to maintain the light shielding property by opening and closing, and the structure is complicated.
[0016]
Then, the inner door is not completely closed but the outer door is opened. Conversely, the outer door is not completely closed but the inner door is opened. There was a problem that light leaked into the apparatus and product fogging occurred, or in the worst case, many defective products were generated.
[0017]
Also, because the parts storage box and product storage box are put in and out by opening and closing the inner door and the outer door alternately, it takes time to put in and out the parts storage box and product storage box, and the production speed of the photosensitive film magazine is increased. There was a problem that it was difficult to raise.
[0018]
Furthermore, since a large number of parts are put in the parts storage box and a large number of photosensitive film magazines are put in the product storage box, there is a tendency for the parts to collide with each other and to be damaged or deformed.
[0019]
In addition, it is necessary to secure a place for setting the component storage box and the product storage box, which has been an obstacle to miniaturization of the photosensitive film magazine manufacturing apparatus.
[0020]
Moreover, since only one original roll was stored in the original roll storage container, the original roll storage container had to be supplied frequently, and the amount of work was extremely large.
[0021]
Also, since the original roll storage container was manually set at the original roll supply position of the photosensitive film magazine manufacturing apparatus, it was necessary to manually work in the dark room, and the risk was high. And since the original container was heavy, it was a heavy labor.
[0022]
Furthermore, unwinding of the photosensitive film from the original roll requires two identical mechanisms because there is an original unwinding means for unwinding one photosensitive film magazine while holding the two original rolls. Therefore, the structure is complicated, the cost is high, and the operator has to recover the core of the remaining original winding at two places, which is troublesome.
[0023]
Also, since the assembly of the photosensitive film magazine is to supply the cartridge body member when the spool on which the photosensitive film is wound is present, if the cartridge body member is not supplied, the photosensitive film magazine As a result, the spool that has been wound up is returned to the transport line, which complicates detection and control. In addition, a conveyance jig is necessary to prevent the winding film from being loosened while the photosensitive film of the spool on which the photosensitive film is wound is on the conveyance line, and the equipment is complicated and expensive. In addition, the spool around which the photosensitive film is wound from the conveying jig may fall and not operate stably.
[0024]
Also, defective films due to machine stoppage or light leakage, etc. were dealt with by the operator discarding all the photosensitive film magazines in the batch when the cause of occurrence occurred, so the defective film was part of it. But all was thrown away, so there was a lot of loss. Also, if the cause of the defective film occurs but the operator does not recognize it, the photosensitive film magazine of the defective film is manufactured as a photosensitive film magazine package and is discovered by sampling inspection. Since it was not found to be a bad film, the loss tended to be even greater.
[0025]
  The present invention is a photosensitive film magazine having the following object made in view of such a situation.manufacturing deviceI will provide a.
[0026]
  One of the objects of this invention is toManufacture of photosensitive film magazineIs to improve quality and productivity and reduce losses.
[0027]
Also, one of the objects of the present invention is to eliminate the use of the parts storage box and the product storage box between the inside and outside of the dark room state and to supply parts to the inside of the dark room state, It is to improve productivity by preventing scratches and deformation when removing the photosensitive film magazine from the paper and transporting it in order.
[0028]
Another object of the present invention is to obtain a photosensitive film magazine with few scratches and deformations.
[0029]
Another object of the present invention is to reduce loss by storing only non-defective products in a storage container after all the photosensitive film magazines have been inspected.
[0030]
Another object of the present invention is to reduce the loss of an expensive photosensitive film by detecting a part at a corresponding position, thereby miniaturizing and simplifying the apparatus.
[0031]
Also, one of the objects of the present invention is that when a defective film is mixed in or generated in the photosensitive film, it is not necessary to discard all the photosensitive film magazines of the batch, and the operation of the apparatus is not stopped automatically. The photosensitive film magazine including the defective photosensitive film is less likely to be assembled as a photosensitive film magazine package.
[0032]
Also, one of the objects of the present invention is to reduce productivity at the time of discharging the defective film by continuously discharging the defective film while maintaining the dark room state. Is to prevent.
[0033]
Further, one of the objects of the present invention is to maintain a productivity even in a large variety and a small amount of production with one photosensitive film magazine manufacturing apparatus that can cope with a plurality of types of photosensitive films.
[0034]
Another object of the present invention is to automate the setting of the original winding to the original winding supply position in the dark room state, reduce the load on the operator, eliminate the need for the operator to enter the dark room, and make the apparatus compact. It is.
[0035]
Another object of the present invention is to unify the flow of supplying the photosensitive film, simplify it, reduce troubles, and make the apparatus compact.
[0036]
Another object of the present invention is to facilitate the recovery of the core after the supply of the photosensitive film.
[0037]

This operation is to keep the automatic guided vehicle in a state where it can be received at any time even if it brings the main volume storage container 2. The reason why the standby station 112 does not proceed to the switching station 114 while waiting is that when the original container 2 currently in use at the take-out station 114 is empty and transferred to the automatic guided vehicle, it passes through the switching station 114. This is because the sheet is conveyed to the discharge station 113.
[0137]

[0146]
In this way, when the production progresses and the original container 2 of the take-out station 110 becomes empty and reaches the discharge station 113 through the switching station 114, the original container 2 that has been waiting at the standby station 112 is changed to the switching station 114. And set in the take-out station 110. The supply of the original volume 3 at the time of replacement of the original volume storage container 2 is the last of the original volume storage container 2 in the take-out station 110 so far, since the film joining portion 100 is started for two original volumes. Since the two original windings are set on the original winding of the film joining portion 100, there is no problem in production. That is, the main volume storage container 2 may be replaced while the two main volumes 3 are consumed, and of course, this is not necessarily the case.
[0147]
The empty original container 2 that has arrived at the discharge station 113 waits for the automatic guided vehicle to come to the collection at this position. The instruction to the automatic guided vehicle at this time is also given from the process management control means 198 via the interior process. Thereafter, the automatic guided vehicle arrives, and the original winding storage container 2 is transferred and conveyed to the cutting process.
[0148]

The spool 7 is sequentially supplied from the spool supply device 240 to the spool turret 321 of the spool assembling portion 304, and the leading end portion of the photosensitive film is inserted and wound around the slit of the spool 7, and the photosensitive film is wound. In this state, it is supplied to the cartridge assembly unit 306 by the carrier 308. The cartridge assembly portion 306 is supplied with the one-side crimp cartridge 6 from the one-piece caulking cartridge processing apparatus 220, and is supplied with the cartridge cap 11 from the one-piece cartridge supply apparatus 260, and is a spool in which a photosensitive film is wound around the one-piece crimp cartridge 6. 7 is accommodated, and the cartridge cap 11 is assembled into the one caulking cartridge 6 by a capping device, and then caulked by a caulking machine 307, whereby the interior product 8 is manufactured.
[0217]
Next, after checking the overall height of the interior product 8, it is carried out to the inspection device 420. Next, the supply of the spool 7 from the latent image printing of the film processing built-in portion will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
[0218]
The unexposed long photosensitive film drawn out from the original winding 3 of the film joining portion 100 is wound around a printing sprocket 331 constituting the latent image printing portion 303 while being regulated by the guide roller 330. Each tooth 332 of the burned sprocket 331 is engaged with each perforation hole of the photosensitive film, and the film conveyance and the rotation of the burned sprocket 331 are synchronized. A rotary encoder 334 is directly connected to the rotary shaft 333 of the burn sprocket 331, and a signal synchronized with the rotation of the rotary shaft 333 of the burn sprocket 331 is sent to the latent image burn control device 335. The latent image printing control device 335 is connected to a latent image data control device 336 that performs creation, editing, setting, and control of a latent image printing command according to the size and type of the photosensitive film. Further, the latent image data control device 336 is connected to a host control means 317 that outputs a control signal for switching the film size and product type, and a size setting input means 337 is connected to the host control means 317. The product type is separately input to the upper control means 317 by the operator based on the production plan.
[0219]
This size setting input means 337 is composed of a changeover switch, and when the operator designates a film size, the host control means 317 controls the latent image data control device 336 based on the size setting, and the latent image suitable for the designated film size. An image burn command is input to the latent image burn controller 335. In this latent image burn control device 335, each latent image is burned based on the input latent image burn command and a signal synchronized with the rotation of the rotary shaft 333 of the burn sprocket 331 output from the rotary encoder 334. The predetermined position of the photosensitive film to be determined is determined, and a latent image printing command is sent to the optical fiber 315 attached on the printing sprocket 331 accordingly, and the optical fiber 315 emits light to the predetermined position of the photosensitive film. Burn the latent image.
[0220]
The photosensitive film on which the latent image is printed is conveyed to a regular sprocket 318 via a dancer roller unit 338 for absorbing a difference in speed between the front and rear in the conveyance path. The rotation shaft 339 of the standard sprocket 318 is directly connected to the standard servo motor 340 and the standard rotary encoder 341, and is rotated and stopped by the operation of the standard servo motor 341. The standard servo motor 340 and the standard rotary encoder 341 are connected to a standard control device 342, and the standard control device 342 is connected to the host control means 317. The control device 342 is controlled by the control signal of the host control means 317, and a signal of the rotational speed of the standard sprocket 318 that matches the cutting length of the film size designated by the standard control device 342 is sent to the standard servo motor 340. Sent. Based on this signal, the regular sprocket 318 performs a predetermined rotation and supplies the photosensitive film to the feed roller 363.
[0221]
On the other hand, the feed roller 363 inserts the photosensitive film sent from the regular sprocket 318 between the upper and lower blades of the cutter 305 and further carries it out to a drawing roller 319 disposed following the cutter 305. The cutter 305 is also connected to the standard control device 342 and cuts at a specified film size, and at the same time, a locking hole for locking the photosensitive film after cutting is spooled. The cutter 305 may be driven by a mechanical mechanism or a single motor.
[0222]
The drawing roller 319 with the photosensitive film inserted guides the photosensitive film to the front insertion roller 320 through the guide rail 343. A plurality of nozzles 344 for ejecting compressed air are arranged below the guide rail 343 along the conveyance direction of the photosensitive film. The photosensitive film is conveyed while being pressed against the lower surface 343 a of the sliding guide rail 343 by the compressed air ejected from these nozzles 344.
[0223]
The photosensitive film guided to the guide rail 343 and carried into the insertion roller 320 is inserted between the insertion guides 345 including a pair of upper and lower guides disposed subsequently thereto. The insertion roller 320 includes an upper insertion roller 320a and a lower insertion roller 320b. The lower insertion roller 320b can be brought into pressure contact with or retracted from the upper insertion roller 320a depending on the state of conveyance of the photosensitive film. Also, the insertion guide 345 includes an upper insertion guide 345a and a lower insertion guide 345b, and the lower insertion guide 345b is similarly retracted or retracted with respect to the upper insertion guide 345a according to the transport state of the photosensitive film. be able to.
[0224]
The photosensitive film conveyed while being sandwiched between the insertion guides 345 is then carried into the spool turret 346 of the spool assembly 304. In the spool turret 346, the spool 7 aligned in a predetermined direction is continuously supplied from the spool supply chute 347 in the first station (I). Two shutter devices 348a and 348b are disposed at the supply tip of the spool supply chute 347, and the spool devices 348a and 348b alternately enter and exit to supply the spool 7 to the spool turret 346 one by one. To do.
[0225]
At the first station (I) of the spool turret 346, the supplied spool 7 is chucked by the spool chuck 349 operating in conjunction with the spool turret 346, and the second station (II) is rotated by the rotation of the spool turret 346. It is conveyed to.
[0226]
In this second station (II), the spool 7 is engaged with the servo motor 356 and rotated, and the protrusion 358 provided on the winding shaft 357 of the spool 7 is engaged with the orientation claw 350 to stop the rotation. Determine the direction of the slit. The spool 7 in which the direction of the slit is controlled in this way is then rotated to the third station (III). In this third station (III), the front end of the photosensitive film guided from the insertion guide 345 is inserted into the slit of the spool 7 and at the same time, the hook provided in the slit is provided with a locking hole formed in the front end of the film. Lock to. When the locking of the film leading edge is detected by the sensor 351, the lower insertion roller 320b and the lower insertion guide 345b start to retract.
[0227]
On the other hand, the regular sprocket 318, the feed roller 363, and the drawing roller 319 continue to rotate until the photosensitive film reaches a predetermined length, and stop when the photosensitive film reaches a predetermined length, and then cut. The device 305 is activated to cut the photosensitive film. For this reason, the photosensitive film is bent between the drawing roller 319 and the spool 7 in which the leading end of the film is inserted and locked. However, the photosensitive film is directed downward with respect to the photosensitive film by the nozzle 352 disposed above the guide rail 343. The air is forced to bend downward by injecting air. As a result, when the photosensitive film is positioned below the nozzle 344, the lift force on the photosensitive film does not act, and the photosensitive film is greatly bent downward due to its own weight. In addition, the nozzles 353 for injecting air downward to the bent photosensitive film are also disposed below the guide rail 343, thereby preventing the photosensitive films from contacting each other.
[0228]
The photosensitive film bent downward in this way becomes free when the trailing end of the film is fed to the guide rail 343 side by driving the drawing roller 319 and the leading end is inserted and locked in the slit of the spool 7. In this state, the spool turret 346 is rotated to move the spool 7 to the fourth station (IV). At this time, air is jetted from below the photosensitive film by a nozzle 355 provided at the front lower side of the transport loop chamber 354 so that the free photosensitive film does not hit the bottom of the stored transport loop chamber 354. .
[0229]
In the fourth station (IV), the spool chuck 349 is engaged with the take-up servo motor 359, and the photosensitive film is taken up and rotated. The take-up servo motor 359 is connected to a take-up control device 360 that controls the take-up rotation, and the take-up control device 360 receives a control signal from the upper control means 317 and receives a designated film length. In response to this, a winding rotation and stop control signal is sent to the winding servo motor 359. The photosensitive film is wound so that the length of the tongue end at the rear end of the film is constant.
[0230]
The spool 7 that has finished winding the photosensitive film at the fourth station (IV) is rotated to the next fifth station (V) to check the presence / absence of film winding and the confirmation of the length of the film tongue. Is done. Further, a carrier 308 is connected to the spool turret 346 at the fifth station (V). The carrier 308 is provided with receiving holders 361 at two locations. The receiving holder 361 grips the spool 7 after winding the film and transfers it to the cartridge turret 362 of the next cartridge assembly unit 306.
[0231]
The cartridge caulette cartridge 6 is continuously supplied from the cartridge caulette cartridge processing device 220 via the tape caulking cartridge set part 370 to the cartridge turret 362, and the cartridge cap 11 is supplied from the cartridge cap supplying device 260. The cartridge processing device 220 and the cartridge cap supply device 260 are controlled by the host control means 317.
[0232]
Next, the single caulking cartridge set part will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.
[0233]
The single caulking cartridge set portion 370 is provided with a separation star wheel 371, and the separation star wheel 371 rotates counterclockwise about a rotation shaft 372 as a fulcrum. On the outer periphery of the separation star wheel 371, receiving portions 371a into which the one caulking cartridge 6 enters are formed at equal intervals. A supply chute 708 is disposed opposite to the periphery of the separation star wheel 371, and the one caulking patrone 6 conveyed by the supply chute 708 is always in contact with the periphery of the separation star wheel 371 by its own weight, The separation star wheel 371 rotates to enter the receiving portion 371a by its own weight, and the single caulking cartridge 6 is separated and conveyed one by one. An alignment transport mechanism 373 is arranged below the separation star wheel 371, and the one-side caulking cartridge 6 is aligned by the alignment transport mechanism 373 and is transported to the prelet 374.
[0234]
A holding cover 375 is disposed along the outer periphery of the separation star wheel 371 between the aligning and conveying mechanism 373 and the supply chute 708, and the holding cover 375 is held by a holding spring 376 and received by the separation star wheel 371. The single caulking cartridge 6 inserted in the portion 371a can be smoothly conveyed without falling. The alignment transport mechanism 373 is provided with a conveyor 377, which is provided between the support roller 378 and the drive roller 379, and rotates in the direction of the arrow by driving the drive roller 379 with a motor 380. The conveyor 377 is formed of a resin belt kneaded with powder magnets, or a permanent magnet 381 is provided on the back surface of the inclined conveyance path of the single caulking cartridge, and the single caulking cartridge 6 supplied on the conveyor 377 is magnetically coupled. Adsorbed and conveyed diagonally upward. A movable stopper 382 is disposed above the conveyor 377, and this movable stopper 382 is provided on the rod 384 of the stopper driving cylinder 383.
[0235]
When the rod 384 of the stopper driving cylinder 383 is extended, the movable stopper 382 is in a position close to the conveyor 377. In this state, the one-side caulking cartridge 6 supplied to the conveyor 377 is attracted by the magnetic force of the permanent magnet 381 and slanted. It is conveyed upward. At this time, since the piece caulking cartridge 6 has the lip portion 6a, the center of gravity of the piece caulking cartridge 6 is shifted to the lip portion side when being conveyed obliquely upward by the conveyor 377. Accordingly, the one-side crimp cartridge 6 rotates on the conveyor 377 with the lip 6a behind, and the lip 6a stops as a stopper and is conveyed in this state. Then, the one caulking cartridge 6 is positioned in contact with the movable stopper 382.
[0236]
On the outer periphery of the letteret 374, receiving holes 374 a into which the single caulking cartridge 6 is inserted at four positions are formed at equal intervals, and this platelet 374 is rotatably supported by a support cylinder 386 supported by a frame 385. It is fixed to the body 387. The rotating body 387 is provided with a gear 388, and is rotated intermittently by a driving gear 389 meshing with the gear 388. The tip of the first operating rod 390 is located at a position corresponding to the receiving hole 374a of the letteret 374, and a permanent magnet 391 is provided at the tip. The first actuating rod 390 is slidably provided on a support cylinder 392 supported by a frame 385. The first actuating rod 390 is connected to an arm 394 via a connecting rod 393, and the arm 394 is a support pin. 395 is supported so as to be rotatable about a fulcrum. The arm 394 is urged by the spring 396 so as to always contact the drive cam 397, and the arm 394 is operated by the rotation of the drive cam 397, thereby reciprocating the first operation rod 390 via the connecting rod 393. To do.
[0237]
The one caulking cartridge 6 is positioned corresponding to the receiving hole 374a of the letterlet 374, and at this time, the first operating rod 390 is advanced by the drive cam 397 and passes through the receiving hole 374a of the platelet 374 so that it is a permanent magnet. 391 adsorbs and retracts the one caulking cartridge 6, and transfers the one caulking cartridge 6 to the receiving hole 374a. The arm 394 is provided with an interlock cylinder 398. The operation of the interlock cylinder 398 causes the first operating rod 390 to be pulled through the arm 394, and the caulking cartridge 6 is moved from the conveyor 377 to the platet 374. It becomes impossible to deliver.
[0238]
A second actuating rod 399 is slidably inserted into the support cylinder 386 of the letteret 374, and a push rod 700 is attached to the tip of the second actuating rod 399 via a plate 701. The second operating rod 399 is connected to an arm 703 via a connecting rod 702, and this arm 703 is rotatably supported by a support pin 704. The arm 704 is always biased by the spring 705 so as to contact the driving cam 706, and the arm 703 is operated by the rotation of the driving cam 706, and thereby the second operating rod 399 is moved via the connecting rod 702. Reciprocate.
[0239]
When the single caulking cartridge 6 positioned in the receiving hole 374a of the letterlet 374 is positioned in the receiving hole 362a of the cartridge turret 362, the second operating rod 399 is retracted by the drive cam 706, and the push rod 700 is thereby moved back. It moves backward and transfers the one crimped cartridge 6 in the receiving hole 374 a of the platelet 374 to the receiving hole 362 a of the cartridge turret 362.
[0240]
When the second actuating rod 399 is retracted and the push rod 700 is retracted and pushed to transfer the single caulking cartridge 6 from the platet 374 to the cartridge turret 362, the first actuating rod 390 moves forward to move a piece of the conveyor 377. The caulking patrone 6 is adsorbed. Then, when the second operating rod 399 moves forward and the push rod 700 moves forward and returns to the initial position, the first operating rod 390 moves backward, and the one caulking cartridge 6 of the conveyor 377 is delivered to the prelet 374. Return to the initial position.
[0241]
In this way, the first operating rod 390 and the second operating rod 399 operate synchronously, the operation of transferring the single crimp cartridge 6 of the conveyor 377 to the platelet 374, and the single crimping of the platelet 374 to the cartridge turret 362. Simultaneously with the operation of delivering the cartridge 6, the single crimp cartridge 6 is supplied to the cartridge turret 362 in an aligned state. The cartridge turret 362 constitutes a film assembling means for incorporating the photosensitive film processed by the film processing means into the parts that are synchronously conveyed by the parts conveying means.
[0242]
A single caulking cartridge detection sensor 707 is disposed above the conveyor 377 in the single caulking cartridge setting unit 370, and the single caulking cartridge detection sensor 707 detects the single caulking cartridge 6 and outputs it to the upper control means 317. Based on the detection information of the piece caulking cartridge 6, the upper control unit 317 determines whether or not the corresponding piece caulking cartridge 6 exists at the time when the photosensitive film is cut at a regular length. In this embodiment, the determination is made five times before, and thereafter the one caulking cartridge 6 is conveyed synchronously by the platelet 374 and the cartridge turret 362 as described above.
[0243]
As the one caulking cartridge detection sensor 707, a reflection type photoelectric sensor, a transmission type photoelectric sensor, a magnetic proximity sensor, or the like is used. Further, the position of the one-side caulking cartridge detection sensor 707 is not particularly limited as long as it is a front stage in which the one-side caulking cartridge 6 is incorporated.
[0244]
The upper control means 317 determines the presence of the corresponding piece caulking cartridge 6 at the time when the photosensitive film is cut to a standard length, controls the cutter 305 via the length control device 342, and only when the piece caulking cartridge 6 is present. Perform a regular cut of the photosensitive film. The cutter 305 detects the presence of a part and constitutes a film processing means for processing the photosensitive film only when the part is present.
[0245]
In addition, when the one-side caulking cartridge 6 is not present in the upper control means 317, the cutting of the photosensitive film is stopped and the control until the cutting is stopped. After the synchronous processing of the locking and winding is sequentially performed, the spool 7 is packed into the detected one caulking cartridge 6, and thereafter the capping, caulking, and inspection are sequentially performed, and then the product is collected.
[0246]
In this way, the photosensitive film is processed, the processed photosensitive film and the parts are sequentially supplied in synchronization, and the photosensitive film magazine is assembled from the supplied processed photosensitive film and the parts. In manufacturing a magazine, when processing a photosensitive film, it is detected whether or not a part is present at a corresponding position, and the photosensitive film is processed only when it is detected that a part is present at the corresponding position.
[0247]
Therefore, the loss of the expensive photosensitive film can be reduced by detecting the component at the corresponding position. Further, the apparatus can be reduced in size and simplified while preventing inconsistency between the supply of the photosensitive film and the supply of components.
[0248]
In addition, since the photosensitive film and the spool 7 are supplied after confirming the supply of the one piece caulking cartridge 6, the conveying line for returning the photosensitive film and the spool 7 conveyed without the one piece caulking cartridge 6 to exist. Is not required, and the device is simple and compact, and the device is inexpensive. Furthermore, by giving priority to the one-side crimp cartridge 6, when there is no one-piece crimp cartridge 6, the expensive film supply can be stopped and the loss can be minimized. In addition, handling in a state where the photosensitive film is easily scattered (so-called scroll state) can be suppressed to the minimum distance, and quality and operation can be stabilized. Further, since unstable operation is eliminated, a high-capacity device is obtained.
[0249]
In addition, by combining the winding of the photosensitive film and the supply assembly of the single caulking cartridge 6, the long distance jig conveyance in an unstable scroll state is eliminated, and the structure is easy to maintain and inspect.
[0250]
In this embodiment, the photosensitive film is cut at a fixed length only when the single caulking cartridge 6 is present. However, only when the spool 7 or the cartridge cap 11 is present, the single caulking cartridge 6 and the spool 7 are further cut. In addition, the photosensitive film may be cut at a fixed length only when all of the cartridge cap 11 is present. Further, the time point at which the photosensitive film is processed is not limited to the regular cutting, and may be the time when the punching machine 301 and the latent image printing unit 303 are processed.
[0251]
Further, for a defective film (joint, burn-in abnormal product, fog film caused by opening the door, etc.) that has been discriminated in advance, the separation star wheel 371 receives a defective film (shift) signal from the upper control means 317. By rotating and pulling the positioned piece caulking cartridge 6 into the platelet 374 and stopping the operation of the first operation lot 390, the supply of the piece caulking cartridge 6 is also temporarily stopped, and the expected defective film is discharged. On the other hand, the one caulking patrone 6 is made not to be lost.
[0252]
Here, the drive of the separation star wheel 371 is intermittently rotated by a Geneva or roller gear or the like, and a one-point clutch (not shown) is put on the rotating shaft 372, and this clutch is disengaged when it is desired to stop the intermittent rotation. Interlocking is possible.
[0253]
As described above, not only the photosensitive film but also the single caulking patrone 6 is designed to minimize the occurrence of loss.
[0254]
Next, a defective film discharging apparatus that discharges the photosensitive film to the outside when a defect occurs in the photosensitive film will be described with reference to FIGS. 59 is a schematic configuration diagram of the defective film discharge device, FIG. 60 is a diagram illustrating an operation state when the transfer path switching gate is normal, FIG. 61 is a diagram illustrating an operation state when the transfer path switching gate is discharged, and FIG. 67 to 67 are views showing another embodiment of the transfer path switching gate, FIG. 68 is a side view of the discharge chute, and FIGS. 69 and 70 are film discharge flowcharts.
[0255]
This defective film discharge device is provided for a defective film detection means 720 that detects a defect of a photosensitive film in a process of manufacturing the interior product 8, and a defective photosensitive film that is discharged based on a defect detection signal from the defective film detection means 720. Defective film signal output means 721 that outputs a defective film signal, shift control means 722 that shifts in synchronization with the movement of the defective photosensitive film that conveys this defective film signal, and a photosensitive film that is driven by the shifted defective film signal And a defective film discharge means 723 for discharging a defective photosensitive film out of the system.
[0256]
The defective film detected by the defective film detecting means 720 may be a case where a defect occurs in the photosensitive film itself, a case where the inside of the apparatus is made bright by opening the door, or a case where the film is stopped for a long time.
[0257]
In the case where a defect occurs in the photosensitive film itself, the sensor 724 detects the defect in the photosensitive film. Further, in the bonding machine 103, a punch hole is formed in the bonded portion at the time of film bonding, and this is detected by the sensor 725. Further, the defective photosensitive film has a notch indicating a defect at the edge of the film at the stage of cutting based on the defect information of the original winding, and this is detected by the sensor 726. In addition, a latent image pattern such as a frame number is exposed to light on a photosensitive film with light passing through a fiber, and the latent image burner 303 that leaks light and burns it into dots is used. In this case, an abnormal signal is output from the latent image burner 303. Further, an abnormal signal is output from a driver (not shown) of the servo motor such as winding. The sensor 727 detects the cutting position of the photosensitive film from the perforation position, and detects a case where the cutting position is inappropriate. Further, the sensor 728 looks at the photosensitive film transport position, and detects when the photosensitive film is lifted from the fixed sprocket 318 by a certain amount or more.
[0258]
The sensors 725 to 728 use transmissive photoelectric sensors, but other sensors can also be used.
[0259]
Another cause of the occurrence of defects in the photosensitive film is the opening of the door. For the opening of the door, the apparatus is divided into three blocks, each having a door. Sensors 732, 733, and 734 that detect the locked state are provided on the three doors of the joining machine 103, the winder right door 730 and the winder left door 731.
[0260]
For the long stop time, a long stop detection means 735 for viewing the stop time of the film processing built-in unit 300 is provided.
[0261]
Sensors 732 to 734 that detect the opening of the door, for example, twist the handle of the door, and when the fixing portion such as the upper and lower nails of the door is removed, the proximity switch that looks at the fixing portion is activated to determine the opening of the door. At this point, the door has not yet been opened. Based on the signal, the shutter is closed under the control of the shutter control means 736, and the door can be opened after the shutter is closed. Therefore, the part that becomes the bright room is separated from the part that becomes the bright room by opening the block that opens the block and the other block, and the part that becomes the bright room and is exposed to light is limited to the minimum.
[0262]
Furthermore, when the film processing built-in unit 300 is stopped for a long time, it is detected as a defective photosensitive film, and the defective photosensitive film is discharged. When the main power is turned on, it is determined that the operation is stopped for a long time. When the operation is stopped for a long time, the photosensitive film is bent and wrinkled, so that the discharge or the like is hindered. The photosensitive film of the winder right door 730 of the joining chamber 660 is discharged. Further, when the film processing built-in unit 300 stops for a certain time or more and then restarts, the photosensitive film on the winder left door 731 is discharged in order to make the photosensitive film wrinkled.
[0263]
Next, the defective film signal output means 721 manages, for example, a unit of one photosensitive film in which a continuous photosensitive film before cutting is incorporated into an interior product. When each sensor detects a defect, the defective film is marked on the portion (XX to X0) corresponding to the photosensitive film that needs to be discharged on the software.
[0264]
The defective film detecting means 720 has, for example, one frame for one film, and if there is a defect at the position corresponding to the Xth film even with respect to the continuous photosensitive film before cutting, the Xth film is detected. A defective film is marked on the frame.
[0265]
This is naturally different depending on the number of film shots even in the case of the same defect.
[0266]
For example, among the film frames set on the software, a defective film is marked on the frame of the exposed portion (for example, the XXth to X0th films).
[0267]
This setting is changed depending on the film size and the position of the dancer in each accumulator, and the amount of discharge is minimized as long as there is no under action.
[0268]
For example, when the winder right door is open:
[0269]
[Table 1]

That is, if the film size is large, the number of films decreases because the film length is long, and the number of films decreases because the amount of film decreases as the dancer position increases.
[0270]
As an accumulating method that does not use a dancer, an air loop method, and the like, it is conceivable to directly determine the amount of film with a photoelectric sensor or the like to control the film discharge amount.
[0271]
This defective film signal is shifted one by one in synchronization with one intermittent movement of the photosensitive film. In the shift control means 722, the mark of the defective film is shifted on the lift as the photosensitive film moves. For example, when one photosensitive film is conveyed, the signal on the software is moved forward by one. Shift. At this time, the mark of the defective film is moved up from the Xth to the X-1st.
[0272]
The defective film discharge means 723 controls the switching gate 737 where the photosensitive film is immediately after the standard cut, and the defective film signal shifted from the photosensitive film transport path c by the defective film signal that has been shifted to the position immediately before the discharge chute. The defective photosensitive film switched to the discharge passage d is discharged from the discharge chute 738 to the outside of the system. The discharge chute 738 has a light blocking function for discharging a defective photosensitive film from a dark room to a bright room, and is a light blocking tunnel.
[0273]
Depending on the type of defect and the situation of occurrence, the discharge from the switching gate 737 may not be in time. In that case, the mark of the defective film is further shifted to the previous process and reliably discharged from the other discharge ports 749. The Even in such a case, the material supply is interlocked so as not to waste the material as much as possible. In this interlock method, for example, an air cylinder (not shown) is detached from the cam or the air cylinder is not operated.
[0274]
As shown in FIGS. 60 and 61, the switching gate 737 is formed of a cylindrical block 739 in which branch paths 739a, 739b, and 739c are formed, and the photosensitive film is conveyed by the rotation of the block 739. The path changes, one becomes the normal assembly path c, and the other becomes the discharge path d.
[0275]
62 and 63, the switching gate 737 is formed of a plate-like block 740 having one path 740a. The block 740 is switched between the assembly path c and the discharge path d with the support shaft 741 as a fulcrum. 64 and 65, the switching gate 737 is formed by a plate-like block 742, and the path is switched between the assembly path c and the discharge path d by sliding the block 742 to escape. Further, in FIG. 66, the switching gate 737 is formed by a block 743 having two paths 743a and 743b, and is switched by sliding of this block 743. The path 743a of the block 743 communicates with the assembly path c, and the path of the block 743 743b communicates with the discharge path d. In FIG. 67, the switching gate 737 is formed by a switching claw 744, and this switching claw 744 is provided at a branch portion between the assembly path c and the discharge path d, and the assembly path c and the discharge path d are switched by the operation of the switching claw 744. Is called.
[0276]
As shown in FIG. 68, the discharge chute 738 is formed by joining two plates 745 and 746, which are bent by twisting the leading ends thereof by 90 degrees. As this light shielding means, the film discharge port 738a is a bright room. Therefore, it is provided so that there is no light intrusion on the darkroom side that is being produced.
[0277]
First, the light blocking structure uses a black chute 748 such as paint or coloring that does not reflect light from the film discharge port 738a to the bent portion 738b. In this embodiment, a resin chute colored black is used, and light from the outside is absorbed on the way.
[0278]
Secondly, the light shielding structure is such that the discharge chute 738 is sealed with a structure that does not leak light in the middle, and the chute inlet 738c is small and long enough so that light entering from the chute inlet 738c is not Little is absorbed gradually and does not go deeper. Further, the gap is shielded from light with the same means as the light shielding tunnel, for example, a black caulking agent.
[0279]
Further, thirdly, since the light shielding structure twists the discharge chute 738 by 90 [deg.] In the middle and the tip is curved, linear light is absorbed in the middle without going to the back.
[0280]
The actual discharge chute 738 has a structure in which two black chute parts are combined, and has a fitting structure of the two parts, so that light does not leak outside. Further, the discharge chute 738 is twisted 90 ° in the middle, and the tip portion is curved.
[0281]
Next, more specific examples of the film conveyance chute and the discharge chute will be described. The film conveyance chute preferably has a chute width of +0.1 to 2.0 mm, more preferably +0.1 to 0.3 mm, with respect to the film width. This is because the film conveyance chute is required to have accuracy during locking and cutting. The film transport chute preferably has a chute thickness in the range of +0.1 to 2.0 mm, more preferably around +1 mm, relative to the film thickness. This is because the film conveyance chute has a flutter during conveyance when the thickness is large, and film scratches are generated.
[0282]
Since the discharge chute is not a product, there is no need to worry about scratches, so transport is important. Therefore, the chute width of the discharge chute is preferably in the range of +0.1 to 10 mm, more preferably around +5 mm with respect to the film width.
[0283]
Next, the film discharge operation will be described based on the flowcharts of FIGS. 69 and 70. First, in the main flowchart, when the power is turned on in step H1, a defective film signal is input in step H2, and one film is conveyed in step H3. In step H4, the film signal is shifted. In step H5, the presence / absence of a defective film signal is determined. If a defective film signal is input, the defective film is discharged by switching the film discharge gate in step H6. .
[0284]
If a defective film is generated in step I1 of the interruption flowchart during the operation of the main flow, a step I2 defective film signal is input. By this interruption flow, in the main flow, the presence / absence of a defective film signal is determined in step H5. If a defective film signal is input, the defective film is discharged by switching the film discharge gate in step H6.
[0285]
In this way, in the manufacture of photosensitive film magazines, it is detected whether the photosensitive film is good or bad, and if a defect is detected, a defective film signal is output and the defective film signal is synchronized with the movement of the photosensitive film. When the defective film signal is shifted to a position corresponding to the transfer path switching position where the photosensitive film can be discharged out of the system, the transfer path is switched so that the photosensitive film is discharged out of the system. When the defective film signal is not shifted, the conveyance path is switched so that the photosensitive film is used for assembling the photosensitive film magazine, the defective film is discharged out of the system, and the non-defective photosensitive film is used for assembling the photosensitive film magazine. .
[0286]
Also, when manufacturing a photosensitive film magazine, the defective part of the photosensitive film is detected, and the defective part of the photosensitive film reaches the transport path switching position where the photosensitive film can be discharged out of the system. , Switch the transport path to discharge the defective part of the photosensitive film out of the system, otherwise switch the transport path to use the photosensitive film for the assembly of the photosensitive film magazine, and discharge the defective film out of the system The film that is not defective is used for assembling the photosensitive film magazine.
[0287]
Also, in the manufacture of photosensitive film magazines, if the defective part of the photosensitive film reaches the transport path switching position where the photosensitive film can be discharged out of the system, the defective part of the photosensitive film is removed from the system. The transport path is switched so that the defective portion of the photosensitive film is discharged, and the section necessary for substantially supplying the photosensitive film magazine for supplying and processing the photosensitive film and assembling the photosensitive film magazine to the darkroom state is discharged. The transport path is switched so that it is discharged out of the non-dark room system along a predetermined path covered with a light-shielding tunnel of 738, and in other cases, the photosensitive film is used for assembly of the photosensitive film magazine. The defective film is discharged out of the system, and the non-defective photosensitive film is used for assembling the photosensitive film magazine.
[0288]
Therefore, when a defective film is mixed or generated in the photosensitive film, it is not necessary to discard all the photosensitive film magazines in the batch, and the defective film is automatically discharged without stopping the operation of the apparatus. Further, it is possible to reduce the possibility that a photosensitive film magazine including defective ones is assembled as a photosensitive film magazine package. Moreover, even when the defective film is automatically discharged, the productivity can be prevented from being lowered when the defective film is discharged by continuously discharging the light-shielding tunnel while maintaining the dark room state. .
[0289]
In addition, the defective film is automatically discharged as necessary when the defective film is detected, the door is opened, the apparatus is broken, and the apparatus is stopped for a long time. Therefore, the defective film is not mixed due to human error. Conventionally, it is possible to discharge a defective film due to a failure of a device or a long stoppage. Moreover, since the quality of the photosensitive film is stabilized, it can contribute to the stabilization of product quality and the stable operation of the apparatus. It is possible to reduce the number of operators by reducing the operator work.
[0290]
Next, the inspection apparatus 420 will be described in detail based on FIG. 71 and FIG. 71 is a plan view of the inspection apparatus, and FIG. 72 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line DD of FIG. The inspection device 420 is provided with inspection device control means 421. After the interior product 8 sent from the film processing built-in unit 300 is transferred to the inspection device 420 to the inspection turret 422, the inspection turret 422 is used for the presence or absence of a cartridge. Detection, extraction torque, tongue end length, cap damage, crushed cartridge, clearance between cap and spool, etc. are checked, and this detection signal is input to inspection device control means 421.
[0291]
The inspection device 420 is structured to carry and continuously inspect while holding the interior product 8, for example, a continuous inspection device disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 62-36664 and a continuous inspection disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 62-39708. An apparatus can be used.
[0292]
In the detection of the presence / absence of the cartridge, whether or not the interior product 8 is chucked on the holder is detected by the cartridge presence / absence detection sensor 423. A non-contact sensor is used as the cartridge presence / absence detection sensor 423. As the cartridge presence / absence detection sensor 423, for example, a reflective photoelectric sensor, a transmission photoelectric sensor, a magnetic proximity sensor, or the like is used. In the case of a negative film, a photoelectric sensor is preferable.
[0293]
The interior inspection 8 is detected by the cartridge presence / absence detection sensor 423, and then the next inspection is performed.
[0294]
To check the drawing torque, the film drawing unit 424 clamps the photosensitive film from the interior product 8 and measures the drawing load when it is pulled out. For checking the drawing torque and the tongue end length, for example, a film drawing load detecting device disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 58-71737 and a film drawing resistance measuring device disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 62-40451 can be used.
[0295]
To check the length of the tongue end, the film drawing unit 424 detects whether the length of the film drawn after measuring the drawing torque is a predetermined length by a photoelectric sensor. For checking the tongue end length, for example, a film leader length inspection apparatus disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 58-71739 can be used.
[0296]
To check the cap flaw, the interior product 8 is rotated once, and the cap flaw is detected by the optical displacement sensor 425. In addition, in checking the cartridge collapse, the interior product 8 is rotated once, light is applied to the interior product 8, and the reflected light quantity is received by the photocoupler and detected by the voltage amount. As another method for checking the collapse of the cartridge, for example, a cartridge peripheral surface inspection apparatus disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62-39710 is used, and this device measures, for example, an eddy current displacement meter to inspect unevenness of the cartridge peripheral surface.
[0297]
To check the clearance between the cap and the spool, the clearance measuring device 426 detects the amount of play in the spool axis direction in the cartridge based on the voltage amount of the differential transformer. For checking the clearance between the cap and the spool, for example, a cartridge clearance measuring device disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62-40452 is used.
[0298]
The interior product 8 checked by the inspection turret 422 is transferred from the inspection turret 422 to the rotating turret 428 by the suction mechanism 427. The suction mechanism 427 is controlled by the inspection device control means 421. When a defective product comes based on the inspection information in the inspection turret 422, the inspection device control means 421 causes the suction stand 429 of the suction mechanism 427 to operate in the direction of the arrow, so The defective product falls and the defective product of the interior product 8 is discharged from the defective product discharge chute 430 outside the system.
[0299]
A cartridge container 9 is supplied to the rotating turret 428, and the interior product 8 is put into the cartridge container 9. In the rotating turret 428, the container stopper 431 is operated in synchronism with the defective interior product 8 discharged out of the system, and the supply of the cartridge container 9 is stopped so that the cartridge container 9 is not wasted. The container 9 containing the good interior goods 8 is capped with the container cap 10, and then the capping state is inspected. The good products are discharged and collected in the next process feeding container, and the defective products are collected in another box. To do.
[0300]
Next, the control by the inspection apparatus control unit 421 will be described in detail. First, the shift of non-defective products and defective products is shown in [Table 2].
[0301]
[Table 2]

The case of a non-defective product will be described. When the interior product 8 is detected at the cartridge presence / absence detection station, the non-defective product shift M110 is turned ON. When the angle detection means determines that the inspection turret 422 has moved one cycle, the information in M110 is shifted to M111. When M111 is ON, it is determined that the product has moved to the next station, and torque is inspected. When such an operation is repeated and finally the machine arrives at M115 of the take-out station, if a defect flag is not raised, a non-defective product is determined.
[0302]
The case of a defective product will be described. If a product becomes defective at the torque inspection station, the defect shift is turned ON. The information is moved sequentially for each cycle, and when it finally arrives at the take-out station, it is judged as defective because the information of M134 has moved to M138.
[0303]
Next, FIG. 73 shows a discharge flowchart for discharging defective products. In step J1, it is determined whether or not there is a product when it arrives at the take-out station. If there is a product, it is determined whether or not it is a good product in step J2. If it is a good product, the container stopper 431 is determined in step J3. open. Then, the suction table 429 of the suction mechanism 427 is closed at step J4, the product is sucked at step J5, inserted into the cartridge container 9 at step J6, and capped at step J7.
[0304]
If it is determined in step J2 that the product is defective, the process proceeds to step J8, the container stopper 431 is closed, the suction table 429 of the suction mechanism 427 is opened in step J9, and the product is dropped onto the defective chute in step J10. If the defective product does not fall in step J10, the machine is stopped in step J11, and the defective product is removed in step J12.
[0305]
As described above, the interior product 8 that is the photosensitive film magazine assembled by the film processing built-in unit 300 that is the photosensitive film magazine assembling unit in the dark room state is stored in the photosensitive film magazine container by the container storage unit 400. The photosensitive film magazine package is manufactured, but the interior products 8 are sequentially supplied from the film processing built-in unit 300 through a predetermined route, and the interior products 8 are inspected one by one. The interior items 8 are sequentially supplied to the container storage unit 400 along a predetermined route, and only the interior items 8 determined to be good as a result of the inspection are stored in the photosensitive film magazine container. Therefore, quality and productivity can be improved and loss can be reduced in the production of the photosensitive film magazine package. In addition, the product storage box between the inside and outside of the dark room is abolished and removed, and when the interior product 8 is taken out from the inside of the dark room, scratches and deformation are prevented and transported in order.
