Description

Film interior equipment, film interior method

The present invention relates to a film interior in which a scroll is loaded into a pouch, and more particularly, to a film interior apparatus and a film interior method capable of performing on-demand film interior of a small quantity and variety of films. Background art

A film product in which a photographic photosensitive film cut to a predetermined length is wound on a spool, and the produced scroll is loaded into a pato mouth, subjected to a capping process, and a film is provided inside the pato mouth. There is a device called a film interior device that produces

The film interior equipment performs the entire interior process automatically and can produce 60 to 80 pieces of film per minute. Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 disclose a film interior apparatus that automatically performs all processes capable of performing a large amount of interior work in a short time.

By the way, there is a film called a private brand. This is because, for example, small and medium-sized film interior contractors, mainly for supermarkets and mass retailers, purchase long films from film manufacturing companies, cut them, load them into patrones with their own brands, and supply them to the market. This is a type of film that produces much less volume than would be produced on a large scale by film production.

Provide film interior with low production volume like private brand film For example, Patent Document 3 discloses an easy-to-use compact size film interior machine as a film interior device for small-sized film interior, and a small amount of film interior is manually performed.

In addition, when developing private-brand films into the market, it is necessary to have a certain product lineup by changing the type of sensitivity and the number of shots, as with films supplied by film manufacturers.

That is, the film on the market includes 12, 24, 36 shots, etc., and the film sensitivity is 100, 200, 400, etc. Combined, it will actually supply more than 20 different films. In this way, in order to market private-brand films, it is necessary to have a large variety of products in small quantities.

However, it has never been possible to cover a small number of types of film interior with one film interior device. Patent Literature 3 does not describe the case of performing various types of film interior, and in fact, with the disclosed film interior machine, the work of changing to a film with a different sensitivity is extremely time-consuming to prepare and arrange a single-pattern. However, it has been extremely difficult to efficiently provide various types of film interiors. In addition, the film interior devices disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 are not suitable for a small amount of film interiors less than the production capacity of the device because the specifications are for mass production as described above. Therefore, it was not possible to decorate the film on demand with a small order quantity.

However, even for private-brand films that require a large variety of products in small quantities, and special event films that produce very little, such as opening celebration or wedding gifts, the quality and reliability of the product will be added. Necessary, reluctantly before The interior work had to be performed with the above-mentioned mass production film interior equipment. Therefore, once the film interior equipment was put into operation, the film interior was much larger than the ordered quantity, resulting in production loss due to the generation of surplus parts due to the interior work.

As described above, the appearance of a film interior device capable of performing small-volume, multi-product film interior on demand has been eagerly desired mainly by small and medium-sized film interior contractors.

However, the equipment disclosed in this document requires a small amount of film interior, a single equipment to handle various types of film interior work, or a surplus due to a small amount of interior less than the production capacity of the equipment. It did not focus on production loss due to film generation.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and is intended for a case where a film is supplied to a small quantity and a large variety of products such as a private brand film, or a case where the amount of an interior film represented by an event film is extremely small. It is another object of the present invention to provide a film interior apparatus and a film interior method capable of performing on-demand film interior according to an order quantity without production loss due to surplus products.

The white arrows in FIG. 5 indicate the manual operation of the operator, the movement of the cartridge side plate from the cartridge side plate processing part 31 to the cabling part 32, and the removal of the one-sided cartridge from the cabling part 32. . The broken arrow indicates the detection of the work area 34 by the detection member 35.

As shown in FIG. 5, in the single-sided patrone manufacturing section 30, the work of supplying the patrol side plate to the capping section 32 from the pat opening side side plate processing section 31 and the one-sided opening from the capping section 32. Manual operation of the operator to remove the patrone KP o

A detection member 35, which is a manual work detection means provided near the work area 34, which is a manual work section, detects the work area 3 and detects the presence of the operator's hand HA. When the detection member 35 detects the presence of the hand HA in the work area 34 at the time of performing a predetermined manual operation by the operator or at any other time, a cable 36 is typified from the detection member 35 to the control section 33 by a cable. The detection signal is transmitted as an electric signal by the transmission means. Upon receiving the detection signal from the detection member 35, the control section 33, which is a control means, receives a plate-like member supply section 31a, a processing section 31b, and a caving section 32 in the patrone side plate processing section 31. And the caulking unit 32b and the caulking unit 32c are not driven. When the detecting member 35 detects that the operator's hand HA does not exist in the work area 34, the control section 33 controls the patrone side plate processing section 31 and the cabbing section 32 to drive.

As described above, in the present invention, the one-sided patrone manufacturing section 30 detects the presence of the operator in the work area 34 with the detection member 35, and the control section 33 processes the patrone side plate based on the detection signal. By controlling the operation of the part 31 and the cabling part 32, a safe and comfortable working environment is provided for the operator, and the equipment can be prevented from stopping due to troubles, and the one-side opening of the port can be stably produced. It is possible to maintain

As a specific mode of the work area 34 in the one-sided patrone manufacturing part 30, the operator safely and reliably supplies the patrol side plate from the patrone side plate processing part 31 to the capping part 32, and There is no particular limitation as long as the KP can be taken out from the cabbing part 32 without fail.Specifically, a flat area where manual work can be performed, such as a desk or table, is used. Any tool that can be formed may be used.

The detecting member 35 may be any member that can reliably detect the hand HA of the operator in the work area 34, and for example, detects the presence of the operator by detecting a physical quantity such as heat or light. One example is a temperature sensor, an infrared sensor, an optical sensor, and the like. The transmission means for transmitting the detection signal between the detection member 35 and the control unit 33 includes a wire transmission means typified by the cable 36 described above, and a wireless transmission of the detection signal. In addition to those that transmit via electrical signals such as relays, there are also those that transmit using acoustic waves.

Next, put the one-sided pate into the one-sided pate mouth-one-side storage part 23 a The control when the KP is supplied manually by the operator will be described.

The operation of supplying the one-sided patronette KP to the one-sided patronette accommodating portion 23a of the patrol netlet 23 is performed in the one-sided patrol port supply portion D as shown in FIG. The one-sided patrone KP taken out of the one-sided patrone manufacturing section 30 by a manual operation of the operator is placed on the one-sided patrone supply member 24 constituting the film interior part 20. Then, a work area 34 where an operator performs a manual operation is provided in a single-open patrone supply section D where the single-open patrone supply member 24 and the patrone let 23 are close to each other. The operator manually supplies the one-sided patrone KP to the one-piece patnetlet 23 to the one-sided patrone storage part 23a indicated by the broken-line circle in FIG.

By manual operation of the operator, the one-sided patrone KP placed on the one-sided patrone supply member 2 is supplied to the one-sided patnel opening part storage portion 23a of the patrone turret 23 by the one-sided patrone supply portion D. You.

Although not shown in FIG. 2, as in the case of the one-sided patrone production unit 30 described above, a detection member 35 as a detection means is provided near the work area 34, and the detection member 35 is used. The presence of an operator in the work area 34 is detected. When the detection member 35 detects the presence of the operator's hand HA in the work area 34 at the time of performing the predetermined manual operation, the detection member 35 sends a detection signal indicating that the operator is present to the patrol net 23. It is transmitted to the control means 33 (not shown in FIG. 2) for controlling the drive. The control means 33 controls the driving of the patrone turret 23 based on the detection signal from the detecting member 35 so that the operator can safely and reliably supply the one-sided patrone KP to the patron netlet 23. I do. And the pato mouth When the one-sided patrone KP has been loaded into the netlet 23 and the detection member 35 detects that the operator's hand is not present in the work area 34, the control signal is sent to the control unit 33 by the detection signal. Release the suspension of let 2 3 operation.

As a specific mode of the work area 34 for supplying the single-opening patrone KP to the single-opening patrone KP, the operator opens the single-opening patrone KP into the single-opening of the patrol netlet 23. There is no particular limitation as long as it can be supplied smoothly and reliably to the patrone storage section 23a. For example, a tool that forms a flat work area such as a desk or a table may be used. Further, the one-side opening port-one supply member 24 may also serve as the work area 34.

Since the detection member 35 may be provided in the film interior part 20, it is preferable to detect the presence of the operator with a physical quantity that does not affect the quality of the scroll SC. Specifically, a sensor such as a temperature sensor or an infrared sensor using an electromagnetic wave which does not cause the photosensitive material to be exposed is preferable.

In addition, when the one-sided patrone KP is manually loaded into the one-sided patrone storage part 23a of the patrone plate 23 described above, the scroll loading subsequent to the one-sided patroller loading is performed. Consideration should be given to the work performed in the darkroom environment, such as the loading work of the scroll SC in the part C, the cabbing work in the cabling part E, or the work of locking the fixed size film TF to the spool SP in the scroll manufacturing part B. It is needless to say that the light shielding property is ensured.

In addition, in the present invention, in addition to the above-described operations, manual operations by an operator can be performed. The operation of removing the product PH can also be performed manually by an operator. Therefore, spool supply member 22 A work area 3 4 and a detection member 35 are provided in the unloading section F, and a detection signal from the detection member 35 is transmitted to the control section 33, and the control section 33 controls the operation of the film interior device 1. It is possible to realize on-demand film interior without waste even for extremely small orders such as orders of 10 or less.

Next, control of the driving means in the film interior device according to the present invention will be described. FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing a control system of driving means provided in each component of the film interior device 1 according to the present invention. The double-line arrows in the figure indicate the movement of the compressed air as the driving means. The film interior device 1 receives power supply from a power source, and a control unit 33 as a control unit controls a driving unit of each component. Further, in the present invention, as described above, the presence of a part including the operator's hand in the manual operation unit 34 is detected by the detection member 35, and the detection signal from the detection member 35 is detected by a cable. It is transmitted to the control unit 33 via a transmission means such as 36 to control the operation of the film interior device. It is possible to control the driving of the driving means in the film interior device based on the detection signal from the detecting means. In this way, by controlling the driving means of the film interior device when the operator places his hand on the manual working unit at a time other than the predetermined work, the driving of the driving means particularly arranged at a location close to the manual working unit is controlled. This makes it possible to ensure safety over night.

The driving means used in the film interior device according to the present invention includes, for example, a driving method using compressed air. Compressed air is obtained by compressing air in an air cylinder by a compressed air supply unit 41 composed of an air cylinder and an air valve for supplying air to the air cylinder, and the compressed air is supplied to each drive unit of the film interior device. Is supplied and driven. For the supply of compressed air to each drive unit, the control unit 33 supplies compressed air to a predetermined portion via the compressed air switching unit 42. Like this In addition, by providing the compressed air switching section 42, it is possible to switch the supply of the compressed air to a necessary portion at a predetermined time, so that the air cylinder and the air valve for producing the compressed air can be minimized, which is preferable.

For example, a series of film interior work such as loading the scroll SC into the one-sided patrone KP at the above-mentioned patrol mouth-netlet 23 and cabbing into the opening of the one-sided patrone KP involves the compression produced by the compressor. By switching the connection between the air cylinder and the air valve, the air is supplied to the scroll loading section C and the capping section E to load the scroll and caulk the cap CA.

Further, according to the present invention, the drive means provided near the work area where the operator performs the manual operation performs drive control in consideration of safety for the operator. For example, as described above, when the detection member 35 detects that the operator's hand or the like exists in the work area 34, the control section 33 disconnects the connection between the air valve and the air cylinder and stops driving. Then, when safety is confirmed by the control unit 33, both are connected again to enable driving. As described above, the drive of the film interior device according to the present invention, when detecting that the operator's hand is not present in the work area, automatically turns on the operation switch of the caulking caulking device so that the force shrinkage is performed. Controls the drive of driving means provided near the work area where the operator performs manual work.

Further, in the present invention, the manual operation by the operator can be performed in a dark room environment. In the manual operation of the operator, it is possible to produce a product that maintains a certain level of quality by feeding back the operation status, work result, or work environment to the operator.However, in a dark room environment, the operator can visually check the work status. Etc. cannot be fed back. The present inventor has proposed a method other than visual inspection. Consider providing feedback to the operator on the work status, etc., and providing feedback by means of information transmission that does not utilize visual perception such as voice, so that work in a dark room environment can be handled manually by the operator. I found a film interior device. In this way, by providing information transmission means that does not utilize vision in the film interior device, it is possible to feed back information such as work status to the operator even in a dark room environment, so that product loss due to erroneous work or production stoppage may occur. No longer occurs, and stable productivity can be maintained. In addition, operations that were performed automatically in the darkroom can now be performed manually, making it possible to respond to orders for a very small number of film interiors, such as about five.

As an information transmission means that does not utilize the visual sense, there is an information transmission means by voice. By providing a voice generation means, manual operation by an operator in a dark room environment is enabled. For example, there is a case where the operation of supplying the one-sided patrone KP to the patrol netlet 23 is manually performed in a dark room environment. The film interior device 1 is provided with a sound generating means for notifying that the one-sided patrone KP can be supplied when the patroller 23 can supply the one-sided patrone KP.

When the sound is activated, the operator places the one-sided patronette KP on the one-sided patrone supply member (patent opening one net tray) and presses the supply switch, and the one-sided patrone KP is put into the cartridge 23. Supplied. The control unit 33 controls the patrol netlet 23 so that it does not move between the time when the voice instruction is given and the time when the supply switch is pressed. The sound generating means is controlled by the control unit 33 so as to operate in conjunction with the movement of the patrol net 23.

In addition, when parts used for the film interior are in shortage or when a defect occurs, the sound generation means may notify the operator of the failure content or the shortage of parts. No. In addition, by communicating the troubleshooting method, prompt response is possible. As described above, according to the present invention, by providing information transmission means such as sound generation means in the film interior device, a safe working environment is provided to the operator, and productivity is maintained by eliminating work mistakes.

5.Since the film interior apparatus according to the present invention performs film interior of a small number and variety of products by one unit, means for preventing defective parts / parts of different types from being mixed in a work area where an operator performs manual work. The provision of a film prevents occurrence of erroneous film interior and enables high reliability of film interior work.

The mixing prevention means used in the present invention includes, for example,

One method is to provide a means for detecting the shape, color, and print design of the supplied parts and a means for removing defective parts and parts of different types in the cartridge side plate processing part 31 and cabbing part 32 of 1030. Can be When the detecting means detects a defective component or a heterogeneous component, a detection signal is transmitted to the control unit 33, and the control unit 33 activates the removing unit to remove the mixed component.

15 In addition, there is a method in which a defective product can be visually identified when a defective product is generated so that the defective product can be identified. In this way, marking makes it easy to discriminate between genuine and defective products, and maintains the productivity because the film interior is not interrupted to remove defective products. Concretely, dent and scratch the outer periphery of the Pato mouth, mark the outer periphery of the Pato mouth with a stamp, and the Pato mouth side

There is a method of not cabbing 20 plates.

Specifically, stickers are attached to defective products that occur during cap supply or force-screwing work, and defective products that occur when a scroll SC is loaded into the one-sided patrone KP are automatically cabbaged. Patrone without cap By doing so, identification is possible.

Identification of such defective or mixed products is performed using a detection member. When the detecting member identifies a defective part or a heterogeneous part, it sends a detection signal to the control part 33 which is a control means, and the control part 33 automatically operates when the member using the corresponding part comes to the work area 3. Control so that it stops properly. Then, the operator removes the corresponding part in the work area 34 to prevent the mixing. It is essential that the detecting member that identifies defective parts and heterogeneous parts does not affect the quality of the film constituting the scroll SC. For example, there is a method of detecting with an electromagnetic wave having a wavelength that does not expose a photosensitive material such as an infrared ray that does not expose a color film.

In this way, by providing a means for identifying a defective product or a mixed component in the film interior device, in the present invention, in particular, even if a single film interior device is used for various types of film interior, the defective product remains in the product. This eliminates the risk of mixing film products or shipping incorrectly loaded film products, making it possible to manufacture highly reliable film products without loss as ordered. Industrial potential

As described above, the film interior device according to the present invention has a process that is manually performed by the operator, but actively automates and speeds up processes that greatly affect film quality, such as a scroll manufacturing process. This is a film interior device. As a result, the operator's manual work process and automatic work process can be arranged in a well-balanced manner, so that even if a small amount of film is installed, the film interior work can be performed on demand without generating a large amount of excess film. Made it possible. In particular, in the scroll manufacturing process of the film interior device, the film is spun while the spool holding member holds one end of the spool, and the flange member opposite to the side held by the spool holding member is held by the flange holding member. The film is locked in a single position, enabling quick film locking, shortening the completion of film winding, and enabling the film interior to be quickly performed even in a film interior device that requires manual operation by the operator. did.
