DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a film cartridge storage and delivery device for storing a plurality of film cartridges and individually feeding the stored film cartridges.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The above-described film cartridge storage and delivery device is generally incorporated in various photo processing devices such as a photo printer and a film processor, and supplies film cartridges to be processed one by one in a predetermined posture. It contributes to automating processing.

In a conventional film cartridge storage and delivery device, a concave portion having an inner wall shape corresponding to the outer shape of a film cartridge is formed in a peripheral portion of a drum-shaped storage body to serve as a holding portion of the film cartridge, and the drum is rotated. Then, a film cartridge stored in the holding portion is sequentially taken out, or a concave portion having an inner wall shape corresponding to the outer shape of the film cartridge is formed in the endless belt to form a holding portion of the film cartridge, and the endless belt is used. There has been proposed a configuration in which a film cartridge housed in a holding unit is sequentially taken out by rotating. With this configuration, the desired posture of the film cartridge is maintained because the holding portion has the inner wall shape corresponding to the outer shape of the film cartridge, and the posture of the film cartridge fed from the film cartridge storage portion is always constant. Becomes

However, in the above-described configuration, when the storage capacity of the film cartridge is to be increased, the diameter of the drum is increased, and the length of the endless belt is increased. Has the disadvantage of becoming larger.

[0005] In order to solve the problem of the storage space described above, a storage case section for storing a plurality of film cartridges in a stack in a column, a delivery section provided at a lower portion of the storage case section, and a periphery of the delivery section. A film cartridge storage and delivery device comprising an individual delivery mechanism provided in the device is proposed.In this case, since the film cartridges are stacked and stored in tandem, the storage space can be used efficiently.
Because multiple film cartridges are stacked,
There is a new problem that the cartridges interfere with each other and interfere with each other, so that the delivery swing arm of the individual delivery mechanism becomes inoperable.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to solve the problem of storage space by storing a plurality of film cartridges in a stack and storing the film cartridges.
A delivery section provided at a lower portion of the storage case section, and an individual delivery mechanism provided around the delivery section,
And a swinging member of an individual feeding mechanism provided with a first arm portion and a second arm portion swings smoothly in the individual feeding process, thereby stacking film cartridges stacked one upon another. It is an object of the present invention to provide a device which can send out the product sequentially from the lower end.

[0007]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the film cartridge storage and delivery device according to the present invention, the individual delivery mechanism includes a swingable swing member in a first area and a second area, and The moving member has a first arm portion and a second arm portion, and the first arm portion holds the lowermost film cartridge in the first region and holds the lowermost film cartridge in the second region. The second arm unit allows the film cartridge to drop toward the first arm unit in the first region, and the second arm unit
In the area, the film cartridge is prevented from dropping toward the first arm, and when the second arm swings from the first area to the second area, the film cartridge comes into contact with the second arm. Elastic escape means for avoiding interference between the film cartridge and the swing locus of the second arm portion.

According to this structure, when the swing member is swung to the second area in order to feed out the lowermost film cartridge, the second arm portion and the stacked film cartridges are likely to be twisted. Also, the interference between the film cartridge contacting the second arm by the elastic escape means and the swing trajectory of the second arm is avoided, so that the second arm, and consequently the first arm, is smooth. Then, the film cartridge swings to the second area, and the lowermost film cartridge is disengaged from the first arm and is sent out to the sending section.

As one of the characteristic constitutions of the present invention, a cartridge release mechanism for resiliently moving a film cartridge, which is in contact with the second arm portion, with the elastic release means outside the swing locus of the second arm portion. Some are configured as mechanisms. In this case, when a force is exerted on the stacked film cartridges by the swinging movement of the second arm, the film cartridge is released by the cartridge release mechanism so as to move away from the swing locus of the second arm.

As one preferable configuration of the cartridge release mechanism, a member formed on at least a part of a wall of the storage case portion and elastically displaced outward can be provided. Thus, when a force is exerted on the stacked film cartridges by the swinging motion of the second arm, the displaceable member is displaced outward from the storage case to expand the space of the storage case. The film cartridge escapes into the space that was
The swing of the arm part becomes smooth.

In order to easily provide such a displaceable member, the displaceable member may be a tongue piece formed by a cutout with a part left on the wall of the storage case portion. In this case, an uncut portion functions as an elastic hinge of the tongue. If the wall of the storage case is not suitable as a materially elastic hinge, or if a more reliable hinge is required, the displaceable member is provided on the wall of the storage case. It is preferable to use a swinging lid that is biased by spring so as to close the opening.
In this case, by selecting a spring force for biasing the swinging lid, a cartridge release mechanism having a desired displacement tendency is realized.

As another feature of the present invention, an arm portion for moving the second arm portion in a direction in which the elastic escape means moves away from a film cartridge in contact with the second arm portion. Some have escape mechanisms. In this case, when the twisting occurs between the second arm and the film cartridge, the second arm itself escapes, so that the swinging movement of the swinging member is similarly guaranteed. You don't need to do anything.

The arm release mechanism may typically be constituted by a flange for displaceably connecting the swinging shaft of the swinging body to the storage case via a spring. That is, the swing shaft is spring-supported so that it can be moved away from the film cartridge with which the swing shaft of the swing body contacts. This configuration has the additional advantage that the first arm member, not the second arm member, may function effectively even when it interferes with something.

According to a further feature of the present invention, the oscillating body is connected to a drive motor via a gear transmission mechanism, and one of the drive gear and the driven gear of the gear transmission mechanism meshes with an action area having meshing teeth. A non-working region having no teeth is provided in a uniform distribution, and the swing from the first region to the second region of the rocking body is performed by a drive motor using the working region, In some cases, the swing from the second area to the first area is performed by a spring force using the non-operating area. In this case, the swinging member performs the repetitive swinging motion, but the drive motor only needs to be intermittently driven only by the forward rotation, and the return swinging of the swinging member is performed by the force appropriately selected by the spring. Can be done quickly.

The swing member 83 includes a first arm portion 83a formed from a plate bent at two places in a C shape and a second arm portion 83b formed from a pair of fan-shaped plates. The first arm portion 83a is fixed to the swing shaft 82 at its C-shaped free end,
The second arm portion 83b has a pivot shaft 8 at the center of the sector.
The fan-shaped plates forming the second arm portion 83b and the fixed side portion of the first arm portion 83a are connected to each other by a connection plate 83c.
The first arm portion 83a and the second arm portion 83b are
When the first arm portion 83a swings so as to enter the passage of the film cartridge 20 using the gap between the lower side portion 58c and the side plate, the second arm portion 83b is vertically moved. Using the gap between the side portion 58b and the side plate, it swings out of the storage case portion.

The swinging range of the swinging member 83 is such that the first arm portion 83a can hold a film cartridge that falls from above at a horizontal plate portion located in the middle of the C-shaped bent portion. The first area that can be
(The posture of the swinging member shown in (a)) and a second area (shown in (b) of FIG. 6) in which the horizontal plate portion is detached from the film cartridge and the film cartridge can be sent to the sending portion 60. The posture of the swinging member). In the first area, the second arm allows the film cartridge to fall toward the first arm (FIG. 6A), and inhibits the film cartridge from falling toward the first arm in the second area. (FIG. 6B).

The swinging member 83 is swung by the rotation of a swinging shaft 82. The swinging shaft 82 is driven by gear transmission mechanisms 86, 87.
In this embodiment, the driven gear 86 is an ordinary spur gear, and as is apparent from FIG. 8, the driving gear 87 has an active area having meshing teeth and a meshing tooth. A non-working area is distributed every 90 degrees. The swinging movement of the swinging member 83 from the first area to the second area is performed by the drive motor 87 using the action area, that is, through the engagement of the driving gear 87 and the driven gear 86, The swing from the second area to the first area utilizes the non-operating area, that is, the driving gear 87 and the driven gear 86
Is released, and the swing shaft 82 released from the stopped drive motor 87 is returned by the spring 85 and rotated. For this purpose, the spring 85 is a coil spring having one end connected to the bracket 81 and the other end to the swing member 83, and is fitted around the swing shaft 82. The drive motor 87 is provided with a rotation detection sensor 89.
Controls the rotation / stop of the drive motor 87.

Reference numeral 84 denotes an end stopper in a first region of the first arm portion, which is composed of a disk portion that contacts the first arm portion and an arm portion that supports the disk portion. The cover of the individual sending mechanism 80 is further attached to the lower side 58c of the support plate 58, but is not shown here. Further, the film cartridge storage and delivery device 100 is detachably attached to the main body side of the photographic printing device 1, and the individually delivered film cartridges are provided below the delivery portion 60 to the film drawing device. A transfer device for transferring is arranged.

The individual feeding operation of the film cartridge housing / feeding apparatus 100 having the above-described structure will be described with reference to FIG.
(A) (b) (c); when the film cartridge 20 is inserted through the cartridge insertion through hole 56, the film outlet 20a of the film cartridge 20 comes into contact with the upper end surface 51a of the base plate 51. Can be accepted.

In this state, when the film cartridge 20 is pushed through the push operation hole 57, the film cartridge 20 falls in the storage case portion 50 in a substantially inserted posture. If the film cartridge 20 that has fallen in the storage case section 50 contacts the film cartridge 20 if there is a previously stored film cartridge 20 and stops, and if it is the first film cartridge to be loaded, The swing member 8 swinging to the first swing region
3, the first arm 83a,
Stopped by being received by the lower side of a.

When individually feeding out the film cartridges 20 stored in the storage case section 50, the drive motor 8
8 is transmitted to the swing shaft 82 by the meshing of the teeth of the gears 87 and 86, and the swing member 83 located in the first area shown in FIG. Thus, the first arm 83a is swung in a direction in which the first arm 83a is vertical, that is, toward the second region (FIG. 6B). Due to the swing of the swing member 83 to the first area, the first arm 83a, which has protruded into the internal space of the storage case section 50, is retired to the outside, and the second arm section 83b is replaced by the storage case section. It rushes into the internal space 50 (FIG. 6 (c)). As a result, the lowermost film cartridge 20 received by the first arm portion 83a falls to the sending-out portion 60, and the film cartridge 20 thereabove squeezes the lower end from below to the sector-shaped outer peripheral portion of the second arm portion 83b. It is held and prevented from falling.

When the lower end portion of the film cartridge 20 is scooped up by the second arm portion 83b, if there are a large number of film cartridges 20 stacked thereabove,
In some cases, the swinging of the second arm portion 83b becomes impossible due to the twisting. In the case where the twisting occurs, FIG.
As shown in (c), the tongue piece 93, which is the above-described cartridge release mechanism 90, is displaced outward, and the film cartridge 20 is slightly released, so that the second arm portion 83b enters the internal space of the storage case portion 50. Is smooth.

Next, when the gear 87 is rotated to a position where it faces the gear 86 in the toothless region, the connection between the gear 87 and the gear 86 is released, and the swing member 83 is again moved by the force of the spring 85 to the second position.
The area returns to the first area (FIG. 6A). At this time, as the second arm 53b retreats, the film cartridge 20 falls to a position where it can be received again by the first arm 83a that has entered the internal space of the storage case 50.

The film cartridge 20 dropped by the swinging movement of the swinging member 83 to the second area is sent to a device for pulling out the film 2 from the outlet 21 of the film cartridge 20 by a transport device (not shown). When the film 2 is transported to the projection exposure section 10, the projection exposure section 1
0, the image information of the film 2 is transferred to the CCD image sensor 19 while the reflection mirror 16 is positioned in the exposure light path.
Then, the image information of the film 2 is exposed on the photographic paper 3 in a state where the printing lens 14 is located in the exposure optical path.

[Alternative Embodiment] In the above embodiment, the elastic release means is constituted as the film cartridge release mechanism 90. Instead of releasing the cartridge, the swinging member 83, that is, the arm release for releasing the second arm 83b. Mechanism 290 can also be employed. As shown in FIG. 9, the bracket 2 supporting the swing shaft 82 of the swing member 83
A pair of left and right long holes 292 are formed in
, The swing shaft 82 is slidable away from the internal space of the cartridge storage case. Further, the swing shaft 82 is biased toward the internal space by a spring 293. When the prying occurs between the second arm 83b and the film cartridge 20, the swing shaft 82 slides outward against the spring 293, so that the second arm 83b escapes from the film cartridge 20, Film cartridge 2 of second arm 83b
The scoop-up swing of 0 becomes smooth. In this structure, since the swing shaft 82 is displaced, the transmission mechanism between the swing shaft 82 and the drive motor 88 is not a gear but a belt wheel 294.
And 295, and when necessary, it is wound around by a timing belt 296 which is adjusted in tension by tight toner. The timing belt is provided with a toothed working area and a toothless non-working area in the same manner, so that the same operation as the gear mechanism described above can be obtained.

As a simple form of the arm release mechanism 290, for example, the width of the vertical side portion 58b of the support plate 58 described above is reduced to facilitate elastic deformation. Also in this case, the transmission mechanism between the swing shaft 82 and the drive motor 88 is not a gear but a belt type. Further, in the embodiments described above, the case where the film cartridge 20 having the shape shown in FIG. 2 is stored is exemplified. If there is, it can be applied to various shapes. Further, in the above embodiment, the film cartridge storage and delivery device 100 is connected to the photographic printing device 1.
Although the case where it is attached to the printer is illustrated, it can be attached to various photo processing devices such as a film processor and a film splicer, or used alone. Furthermore, instead of storing the film cartridges 20 linearly vertically, the film cartridges 20 to be stored can be appropriately arranged such that they are curved and stored in a cascade.
