Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention connects a physical or chemical automatic processing device to a sheet film and processes it sequentially. The present invention relates to a sheet film transfer device that can be freely adapted to solve the problems and smoothly and easily transfer sheet films between processing devices.

Conventionally, conveyance rollers and belt conveyors have been used in automatic processing and connection of sheet films, but in order to get sheet films from the previous process equipment to the next process equipment, several types of multiple conveyance rollers and belts are required. It is necessary to combine conveyors, requiring a vast installation floor space, a complicated conveyance route configuration, and high equipment costs.Especially expensive equipment costs are required for conveying sheet films that require light shielding, dustproofing, and moistureproofing. The running costs have become a major obstacle to automatic processing and connection. The reason for this is that throughout the entire process, the installation height and orientation of the equipment, each with its own unique size and shape, cannot be unified, and the transfer of sheet film between processing equipment is functionally simple, reliable, and convenient. This was mainly due to the fact that it could not be made compact, and it was difficult to solve this problem.

Of course, technological efforts have been made to eliminate this difficulty.
A few improvement techniques have been proposed.

One of the proposals for achieving vertical arbitrariness in transfer between devices is to provide a pair of pantographs, pass a pair of conveyor rollers between the corresponding intersections of the two pantographs, and move the pantograph pair according to the vertical spacing. By expanding and contracting, the direction of delivery and reception remains unchanged, but the vertical spacing can be freely adjusted.

As another example, in order to similarly provide vertical flexibility, two blade plates are placed facing each other in an inverted figure-eight shape between the devices, and the sheet film is guided through this gap to transfer and receive the film. This is the way to do it. Furthermore, as a method of using a flexible belt, one end is fixed to a roller with an automatic retracting mechanism, and the other end has a member for fixing it to another object, and the belt is stretched between devices. Examples include a method of absorbing differences in height between devices.

However, the flexibility of moving the device up and down on the conveyance route is still insufficient, there is almost no degree of freedom in changing the direction of the conveyance route, and it has not been possible to eliminate difficulties in simplifying and compacting the device connection.

The present invention focuses on this difficulty in connecting sheet film automatic processing equipment, and provides a sheet film transfer device that simultaneously has flexibility in vertically setting the device on the conveyance route and freedom in direction change. This is intended to contribute to a simple and compact configuration of the entire process, and the above purpose is to fix four pillars of the same height on a support member that can move up and down, and to attach the pillars on the back side to the top of the pillars. A pedestal having an engaging portion that fits loosely into the upper end surface is placed thereon so that both can be freely separated;
This is achieved by a sheet film transfer device characterized in that it has a mechanism for separating the pedestal from at least two of the pillars and tilting it in one direction.

A detailed explanation will be given below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a plan view of one embodiment of the present invention;
This figure is an enlarged view of the conveyance platform shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA' in FIG. 2.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a chest imaging device, which can be raised and lowered by a lifting platform 2 according to the height of the person to be photographed.

A transfer device 3 conveys the sheet film photographed by the chest photographing device 1 to the automatic developing machine 8. The transfer device 3 has a pedestal 13 which supports the wire 11 by a bearing 10 guided by a column 9.
It is now possible to follow the rise and fall of the photographing device 1.

The pedestal 13 of the transfer device 3 has four fixed columns 18. Further, four seats 19 are fixed to the back surface of the conveyance table 4. Support 18 of pedestal 13
The tip and the seat 19 of the conveyor table 4 are loosely fitted in a removable state.

In the state where it is loosely fitted with the four pillars 18, the transport platform 4
is supported horizontally and in a constant position.

Also, motors 17a, 17 are perpendicular to the pedestal 13.
b is provided. Orthogonal motors 17a, 1
7b, eccentric cams 14a and 14b are respectively installed on the motor shaft.
a link arm 15a with one support portion on top;
15b is a support part 16a, 1 at the other end on the conveyor table 4.
It has 6b.

Now, from the direction of the arrow, the sheet film 5 is moved to the roller 6.
When the sheet film 5 is transported, the sheet film 5 is first positioned on the transport table 4 which is in a horizontal position.

Here, the motor 17b starts, and the eccentric cam 14b
As the support portion 16 of the link arm 15b rotates, the support portion 16 of the link arm 15b
As b changes, the conveyance table 4 tilts with the seats 19c and 19h as fulcrums, and the seats 19ho and 19c are in a detached state.

When the conveyance table 4 is tilted, the film stopper 20, which had been against the end surface of the sheet film 5 to prevent the film from moving, hits the stopper 21, and as shown in the third figure, the film stopper 20 is lowered and the sheet film 5 is The film slides onto the film guide 7 on the side of the automatic processor 8, is inserted into the automatic processor 8 by rollers, and is developed.

In the above embodiment, the sheet film 5 is transferred in one direction by operating the motor 17b, but if the motor 17a located perpendicular to the motor 17a is operated, the sheet film 5 is transferred in the other direction.

As described above, according to the present invention, there is a degree of freedom in changing the direction of the conveyance route, and there is an effect that the device connection can be simplified and made compact.
