Next, the support shaft of the transport vehicle and the shaft of the film roll storage mechanism are positioned coaxially, and the film roll is delivered from the support shaft to the shaft. Furthermore, the shaft that received the film roll,
The film roll is loaded coaxially with the film unwinding shaft of the film processing apparatus, and the film rolls are loaded one by one from the shaft onto the film unwinding shaft.

Thus, the film roll need only be slid from the support shaft of the carriage to the shaft of the film roll storage mechanism and from the front shaft to the film unwinding shaft of the film processing apparatus. Work such as lifting the roll becomes unnecessary. Therefore, the loading operation of the film roll can be easily and smoothly performed.

Further, after the material roll is cut in the axial direction by a cutting machine to form a plurality of film rolls, the film rolls are sent out to the support shaft of the carrier in the cutting order. For this reason, while transferring the film roll from the cutting machine to the film processing apparatus, the handling operation of the film roll is simplified, and defect information and the like of each film roll is easily managed in correspondence with each of the film rolls. You. This is because the film rolls are loaded into the film processing apparatus in the cutting order.

Further, when the film roll is completely unwound from the film unwinding shaft, the core remaining on the film unwinding shaft is automatically taken out from the film unwinding shaft and accumulated. Accordingly, the film roll can be sequentially and automatically and efficiently loaded onto the film rewind shaft, and the core can be easily reused.

Further, ID information provided for each carrier is read, and the read ID information is replaced with a desired ID.
When the information is different from the information, the locking member protrudes from the outer periphery of the shaft to prevent the film roll from being transferred to the shaft from the support shaft. Thus, it is possible to reliably prevent different film rolls from being transferred from the transport trolley to the film roll storage mechanism.

The film roll transport cart according to the present invention is provided with a light-shielding cover which can be opened and closed with respect to the cart main body in order to attach and detach the film roll to and from the support shaft. The mating surface along the axial direction of the support shaft is inclined toward the open end of the support shaft to a position below the lower end of the film roller. Therefore, when the light-shielding cover is opened, the open end side of the support shaft is largely opened, and the work of attaching and detaching the film roll to and from the support shaft can be easily performed.

Here, the entire mating surface of the bogie main body and the light-shielding cover is formed in a straight line, and an elastic body serving as light-shielding means is disposed along the entire mating surface. Therefore, an effective light shielding function can be provided with a simple configuration. Further, since an ID information storage unit for storing ID information for each carrier is provided, it is possible to confirm the type of the film roll contained in the carrier.
