Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a disk film take-out device. More specifically, the present invention relates to a disk film take-out device that takes out a disk film from a disk film storage section by using a fixed manipulator and rotating operation.

Conventionally, photographic disc films have been stacked and stored in supply cases using a spindle system. When taking out the disk film, the disk film was taken out and fed one by one from the underside of the spindle. In addition, the disk films used were passed one by one from the bottom through a spindle prepared separately from the original supply spindle and stored by stacking them. At this time, care must be taken because stacking cannot be performed unless the center of the disc film and the center of the spindle match, and furthermore, in order to take out the disc film,
One by one, the core of the disc film was manually held down and removed, or a special jig was used to remove it, being careful not to damage the film surface. For this reason, handling of the disk film is complicated and efficiency is reduced, and troubles that occur during operation are difficult to deal with.

The inventors of the present invention have studied a mechanical device for facilitating the handling of disk films, and have accomplished the present invention.

The first object of the present invention is to be able to easily and reliably take out a disc film from a storage space.
To provide a device for taking out a disk film which can be stored in a storage part again if necessary.

A second object of the present invention is to have a structure in which a storage section in which a plurality of disc films are stored is raised and lowered in conjunction with the operation of a fixed manipulator, and the disc films can be taken out one after another as needed. An object of the present invention is to provide a disk film retrieval device that is easy to remove.

A third object of the present invention is that, if necessary, the holder member of the fixed manipulator that holds the disk film is provided with a sensor to detect the presence and position of the disk film, and to control the elevation and descent of the storage section. An object of the present invention is to provide a disk film retrieval device that is easy to configure.

The above object of the present invention is to provide a disk film retrieval device having a disk film storage section and a fixed type manipulator section, in which the fixed type manipulator having a holding member opens and closes to support or open the disk film in the storage section. and the fixed manipulator is installed on a rotary plate, the holding member etc. has a sensor to detect the presence or absence of a disc film, and the storage part can store a plurality of disc films. The storage unit is raised and lowered to align each disc film with the holding member, and the disc film is pulled out by supporting the disc film with the holding member and rotating the rotary plate. This is achieved by a disk film take-out device that does this.

Since the present invention has the above-mentioned structure, the box 2 is loaded into the storage part G with the storage box 2 as a set consisting of a plurality of disk films A arranged on the shelf 7 formed by the storage member 3. After the lid 1 is removed, it is placed on the back plate 13 and support plate 14 of the storage section G, fixed with the box stopper plate 15, and installed in the storage section G.

First, the first disk film A is positioned by the rack 16 and pinion gear 17 by the drive motor 18, and an initial setting position is determined. Magic hand 20 is facing the first disk film A. The magic hand arms 30a, 30b extend beyond the diameter of the disk film A, and are inserted into the side notch 9 of the storage member 3.
At positions a and 9b, the disk holding members 35a and 35b are located on the outer diametrically outer side of the disk film A.

Next, when the center piece 25 is retracted by the operation of the box-shaped solenoid 23, the wing pieces 29a and 29b connected to the ends of the center piece 25 by pins 26 rotate inward. The magic hand arms 30a, 30b are attracted by the wing pieces 29a, 29b, and the magic hand arms 31a, 3 at both ends of the magic hand arm support plate 31 are
It rotates inward using 1b as a fulcrum.

The disk film A is accommodated in the disk hold grooves 36a and 36b provided in the disk hold members 35a and 35b, and the disk film A
are supported by magic hand arms 30a and 30b. Since the pedestal 22 is fixed to the rotary plate 19, it is pulled out from above the shelf 7 by rotation of the rotary plate 19. At this time, in order to avoid friction between the shelf 7 and the disk film A, the shelf 7 and the disk film A are pulled out at a slight elevation angle.
Alternatively, the box 2 is moved slightly downward by the track 16.

The rotating plate 19 rotates by 180 degrees around the rotating shaft 44. The rotation of the rotary shaft 44 is driven by the rotary drive motor 37 while being controlled by the rotation control section 40 . Rotary drive motor 37 to 1 drive gear 3
8. Drive is transmitted by the second drive gear 39. The 180° rotation of the rotary plate 19 is performed when the rotation angle of the position detection plate 41 is reflected by the reflective marks 42a, 42b, and the rotation axis 4

The magic hand 20 stops at a fixed position with the rotating shaft support base 45 as a fixed center. Note that after that, the disk film may be transferred to an arbitrary location, and one specific example thereof is as follows.

The rotary solenoid 21 rotates the magic hand rotating shaft 28 by 180 degrees, and the left and right sides of the magic hand arm support plate 31 are reversed. At this point, the center of the disc film A is located at an arbitrary location, such as above the central axis of the disc code reading section (not shown). The center piece 25 is a box-shaped solenoid 23
As the wing pieces 29a, 29b push apart the magic hand arms 30a, 30b, the tips 33a, 33b of the magic hand arms spread, and the disc film A separates from the disc holding members 36a, 36b, and the disc film A is released from the disc holding members 36a, 36b. For film A, the isk code can be placed anywhere, such as on the central axis of the reading section.

Thereafter, the film A is preferably returned to the same location in the same storage box 2 after passing through a printing process, and this point will be explained below. After the printing process is completed, the disk film A is again supported by the magic hand 20, and the rotary plate 19 rotates 180° clockwise, returns to the initial setting position, and stops. The disk film A, held by the magic hand 20, comes to the front of the shelf 7 of the storage box 2, and is inserted into the side notches 9a, 9b by the disk holding member 3.
When 6a and 36b are inserted, the box-shaped solenoid 25 is activated, and the disk film A is separated from the disk holding members 36a and 36b and stored on the original shelf 7.

While the magic hand 20 remains stopped, the storage box 2 is moved to the rack 1 by an interval of one stage of the storage member 3.
When moving by 6, the next disk film A
The magic hand 20 is in the same state as the initial position where it is stopped, and operates again on the second disc film A.

The photoprinting machine of the present invention may have a configuration in which the rollery solenoid 21 is not provided, the magic hand 20 is fixed to the rotary plate 19, and the magic hand 20 does not rotate. Other placements may also be beneficial.

According to the take-out device of the present invention, it is possible to easily and reliably take out any disc film from the storage section, and when necessary, it is possible to automatically handle the disc film by storing it in the same storage section. The process can be carried out accurately, without damaging the disk film, and with high efficiency. In addition, since multiple disc films are stored, the storage area can be treated as one unit, so there is no chance of errors in the arrangement of the disc films, and furthermore, troubles may occur in the middle and the disc film must be removed. Even in such a case, there will be no error in the order of the disc films, so the quality of service can be improved. In addition,
If necessary, the position of the disc film is detected by installing a sensor, so there is no malfunction, the disc film is held accurately, and the storage and alignment are also performed accurately, improving work efficiency. is easy.
