Description

この発明は、個々の錠剤毎に分けて包装した錠剤の包装体と、包装体に各々包装された各錠剤を順次処理液中に補充する錠剤補充装置と、この錠剤補充装置を装備した感光材料処理装置とに関する。   The present invention relates to a tablet package that is packaged separately for each tablet, a tablet replenishing device that replenishes each tablet packaged in the package sequentially into a processing solution, and a photosensitive material equipped with the tablet replenishing device. The present invention relates to a processing device.

一般に、ハロゲン化銀写真感光材料の現象処理を行う感光材料処理装置が広く用いられている。このような感光材料処理装置では、黒白感光材料の現象処理を行う場合に、現像液、定着液、水洗液等の処理液を用いて現象処理を行い、カラー感光材料の場合に、発色現像液、漂白定着液(又は漂白液、定着液)、安定液等の処理液を用いて現象処理を行っている。   In general, photosensitive material processing apparatuses that perform phenomenon processing of silver halide photographic photosensitive materials are widely used. In such a photosensitive material processing apparatus, when processing a black and white photosensitive material, the processing is performed using a processing solution such as a developing solution, a fixing solution, and a washing solution, and in the case of a color photosensitive material, a color developing solution is used. Phenomenon processing is performed using processing solutions such as bleach-fixing solution (or bleaching solution, fixing solution) and stabilizing solution.

この感光材料処理装置では、各処理液の性能を一定に保ったまま多量の感光材料を連続して処理するため、各処理液が感光材料を処理したために消費された成分を補充して処理液成分を一定に保つ必要がある。   In this photosensitive material processing apparatus, since a large amount of photosensitive material is continuously processed while maintaining the performance of each processing solution, each processing solution replenishes the components consumed because the processing of the photosensitive material is performed. It is necessary to keep the ingredients constant.

このため、感光材料処理装置では、各処理液に対応する各補充液を、必要に応じて写真処理タンク内へ加えると共に、写真処理タンク内の使用済み処理液の一部を写真廃液として廃液タンクへ排出して、写真処理タンク内の処理液に有害な成分などが蓄積しないようにしている。   For this reason, in the photosensitive material processing apparatus, each replenisher corresponding to each processing solution is added to the photographic processing tank as necessary, and a part of the used processing solution in the photographic processing tank is used as a photographic waste solution as a waste liquid tank. To prevent accumulation of harmful components in the processing solution in the photographic processing tank.

このような感光材料処理装置では、各処理液の機能を良好に保つため、補充液に抗菌剤を添加して、細菌やカビの増殖を防止するのが普通である。   In such a photosensitive material processing apparatus, in order to keep the function of each processing solution good, an antibacterial agent is usually added to the replenishing solution to prevent the growth of bacteria and mold.

このような感光材料処理装置では、通常、各処理液に補充液を適宜追加供給するための補充液自動供給装置を備えており、この補充液自動供給装置に備えられた補充液貯留タンクが空になると、作業者が補充水を補充する作業を行うように構成されている。   Such a photosensitive material processing apparatus usually includes an automatic replenisher supply device for appropriately supplying a replenisher to each processing solution, and a replenisher storage tank provided in the automatic replenisher supply device is empty. Then, the worker is configured to perform the work of replenishing the replenishing water.

この補充水の補充作業では、作業者が、例えば一回に約4L(リットル)の補充水を、補充液貯留タンクの補充口からポリエチレンジョッキにて補充する際に、1錠の抗菌剤錠剤を同じ補充口より投入する。   In this replenishing water replenishment operation, for example, when an operator replenishes about 4 L (liter) of replenishing water at a time with a polyethylene mug from the replenishing port of the replenishing liquid storage tank, Insert from the same refill port.

ここで用いる一般に市販されている抗菌剤錠剤は、ポリエチレン製のビンに100錠単位で収納されているので、作業者は、補充水を補充する作業ごとに、抗菌剤錠剤のポリエチレン製のビンを収納場所から取り出し、このポリエチレン製のビンから小さい錠剤を1錠だけ取出し補充水補充口に投入した後、この抗菌剤錠剤のポリエチレン製のビンを再び収納場所へ返還する作業をしなければならず、作業能率を低下させる原因となっている。   Since generally used antibacterial tablets used in this case are stored in units of 100 tablets in polyethylene bottles, an operator needs to put polyethylene bottles of antibacterial tablets every time the replenishment water is replenished. After taking out one small tablet from this polyethylene bottle and putting it into the replenishing water replenishing port, you must work to return the polyethylene bottle of this antibacterial tablet to the storage place again. This is a cause of lowering work efficiency.

また、補充液貯留タンクに補充水を投入後直ちに抗菌剤錠剤を投入すべきであるが、作業者が補充水を補充液貯留タンクに補充する作業と、作業者が抗菌剤錠剤を補充液貯留タンクに補充する作業とは、別々に行われる別個の手作業であるため、抗菌剤錠剤の投入を怠る虞がある。このように抗菌剤錠剤の投入を怠ると、安定な写真処理の維持に支障をきたす事にもなりかねない。   In addition, antibacterial tablets should be added immediately after replenishing water is added to the replenishing liquid storage tank. However, the operator replenishes replenishing water to the replenishing liquid storage tank, and the operator stores the antibacterial tablet. Since the work of replenishing the tank is a separate manual work performed separately, there is a risk of neglecting to put in the antibacterial tablet. If the antibacterial tablet is neglected as described above, it may cause trouble in maintaining stable photographic processing.

そこで、従来の自動現像装置では、抗菌剤錠剤を裸のまま収容塔に縦に重ねて収容しておき、最下段の抗菌剤錠剤を押圧ブラケットによって抗菌剤錠剤を横に押し出して、感光材料自動現像機の処理槽へ逐次投入するようにした防菌剤供給手段を設けることが提案されている(例えば、特許文献1参照。)。   Therefore, in the conventional automatic developing device, the antibacterial tablets are stored in the storage tower vertically while being stored naked, and the antibacterial tablets are pushed out sideways by the pressing bracket, and the photosensitive material automatic It has been proposed to provide antibacterial agent supply means that is sequentially introduced into a processing tank of a developing machine (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

このような防菌剤供給手段では、抗菌剤錠剤を一つ一つ収容塔に装填するのに手間がかかり不便であると共に、抗菌剤錠剤を裸のまま収容するため、多量の抗菌剤錠剤を裸のまま長期に渡って保存すると吸湿して軟化し、錠剤の形状が崩れてしまう虞がある。   In such an antibacterial agent supply means, it is troublesome and inconvenient to load the antibacterial tablets one by one in the storage tower, and in order to accommodate the antibacterial tablets as they are, If stored naked for a long period of time, it may absorb moisture and soften, and the tablet shape may collapse.

また、従来の自動現像装置では、処理剤を、一方の帯状包材に形成したふくらみ部に処理剤を収納し、この一方の包材のふくらみ部の開口がある平面に、他方の帯状包材を貼着して構成した包装体を用いた、2軸巻取り方式の補充供給装置を設けることが提案されている。この2軸巻取り方式の補充供給装置は、包装体の一方の帯状包材を一方の巻取り軸に巻装し、包装体の他方の帯状包材を他方の巻取り軸に巻装し、これら一方の巻取り軸と他方の巻取り軸とを同時に回動して、包装体における一方の帯状包材から他方の帯状包材を引き剥がすことによって固形処理剤を処理槽へ投入するようにしている(例えば、特許文献2参照。)。   Further, in the conventional automatic developing apparatus, the processing agent is stored in a bulge portion formed in one band-shaped packaging material, and the other band-shaped packaging material is in a plane having an opening of the bulge portion of the one packaging material. It has been proposed to provide a replenishment supply device of a two-axis winding method using a package body formed by sticking. This replenishment supply device of the two-axis winding method winds one band-shaped packaging material of the package on one winding shaft, winds the other band-shaped packaging material of the package on the other winding shaft, By rotating the one winding shaft and the other winding shaft at the same time, and peeling the other belt-shaped packaging material from the one belt-shaped packaging material in the package, the solid processing agent is put into the processing tank. (For example, refer to Patent Document 2).

このような2軸巻取り方式の補充供給装置では、補充供給装置の2軸に包装体をセットする際に、包装体の先端部を一方の帯状包材と他方の帯状包材とに引き剥がし、さらに、一方の帯状包材の先端部を一方の巻き取り軸に巻着し、他方の帯状包材の先端部を他方の巻き取り軸に巻着するという手間の掛かる作業を強いられる。さらに、この2軸巻取り方式の補充供給装置では、1個の包装体が使用済みとなると、2個の帯状包材に分かれて2個の巻き取り軸に巻装された状態となるので、2個の巻き取り軸のそれぞれから使用済みの帯状包材を巻き戻して取り去る作業にも手間が掛かるという問題がある。
公開実用新案公報 平1−85732号 特許第3316650号
In such a biaxial winding type replenishment supply device, when the package body is set on the two shafts of the replenishment supply device, the leading end portion of the package body is peeled off from one belt-like packaging material and the other belt-like packaging material. In addition, the laborious work of winding the leading end portion of one strip-shaped packaging material around one winding shaft and winding the leading end portion of the other strip-shaped packaging material around the other winding shaft is forced. Furthermore, in the replenishment supply device of this two-axis winding method, when one package is used, it is divided into two strip-shaped wrapping materials and is wound around two winding shafts. There is also a problem that it takes time and labor to unwind and remove the used belt-shaped packaging material from each of the two winding shafts.

また、この錠剤投入口部材128の錠剤投入口直上の近傍には、錠剤包装体112の各錠剤収容部118から抗菌剤錠剤110を排出させる錠剤排出機構144を配置する。この錠剤排出機構144は、ソレノイドを利用してロッド148を伸縮駆動するアクチェータ146で構成する。この錠剤排出機構144は、図4に示すようにアクチェータ146を駆動してロッド148を延出させることにより、図5に示すようにロッド148の先端で錠剤収容部118の頂部を押圧して錠剤収容部118内の抗菌剤錠剤110を押すことによって、この抗菌剤錠剤110がフィルム状部材120を破断線用構造部122に沿って破断することにより舌片状に捲れ上がらせて錠剤包装体112の外部へ飛び出し、錠剤投入口から錠剤投入口部材128内部に入って補充槽66内の補充水中に落下させるようにする。   Also, a tablet discharge mechanism 144 for discharging the antibacterial tablet 110 from each tablet storage portion 118 of the tablet package 112 is disposed in the vicinity of the tablet input port member 128 immediately above the tablet input port. The tablet discharge mechanism 144 includes an actuator 146 that drives a rod 148 to extend and contract using a solenoid. The tablet discharge mechanism 144 drives the actuator 146 as shown in FIG. 4 to extend the rod 148, thereby pressing the top of the tablet accommodating portion 118 with the tip of the rod 148 as shown in FIG. 5. By pressing the antibacterial tablet 110 in the housing part 118, the antibacterial tablet 110 ruptures the film-like member 120 along the break line structure part 122, thereby causing the tablet package 112 , The tablet is inserted into the tablet inlet member 128 and dropped into the replenishing water in the replenishing tank 66.

なお、錠剤排出機構144は、ロッド148を延出させる動作後、ロッド148を引き込んで次の動作に備える。また、補充槽66の補充水中に落下した抗菌剤錠剤110は、自然に溶解する。   Note that the tablet discharge mechanism 144 retracts the rod 148 after the operation of extending the rod 148 and prepares for the next operation. Further, the antibacterial tablet 110 dropped into the replenishing water in the replenishing tank 66 is naturally dissolved.

また、この錠剤投入口部材128内部の錠剤投入口近傍には、洗浄手段としての洗浄ノズル150を、錠剤投入口直上に位置するフィルム状部材120が破断線用構造部122に沿って破れらて錠剤収容部118の内部が覗いている部分に向けて配置する。この洗浄手段は、洗浄ノズル150に、ポンプ152を備えた送液管154を接続して構成する。   Further, in the vicinity of the tablet insertion port inside the tablet insertion port member 128, a cleaning nozzle 150 as a cleaning means is broken by a film-like member 120 positioned immediately above the tablet insertion port along the break line structure portion 122. It arrange | positions toward the part which the inside of the tablet accommodating part 118 looks into. This cleaning means is configured by connecting a liquid supply pipe 154 provided with a pump 152 to the cleaning nozzle 150.

そして、この洗浄手段では、補充槽66内の補充水又は図示しない水タンク等からポンプ152を使って吸い上げた洗浄用の液体である補充水(水)を、洗浄ノズル150から噴射させて、錠剤収容部118の内部及び舌片状に捲れたフィルム状部材120の内面に吹き付けることによって、そこに付着している抗菌剤錠剤110の成分を洗い落とす処理を行う。なお、この洗浄に使われた補充水(水)は、錠剤投入口部材128内を伝わって補充槽66内へ落ち補充水に混ざる。   In this cleaning means, replenishment water in the replenishing tank 66 or replenishment water (water), which is a cleaning liquid sucked up using a pump 152 from a water tank (not shown) or the like, is sprayed from the cleaning nozzle 150 to form tablets. By spraying the inside of the accommodating part 118 and the inner surface of the film-like member 120 which has fallen like a tongue piece, the process which wash | cleans the component of the antibacterial agent tablet 110 adhering there is performed. The replenishing water (water) used for this cleaning travels through the tablet inlet member 128 and falls into the replenishing tank 66 and is mixed with the replenishing water.

また、この補充槽66には、その内部に貯留した補充水の量を検出するために、満杯時の液面を検出する満杯液面検出センサ156と、補充済みの液面を検出する補充済液面検出センサ158と、補充を開始すべき液面を検出する補充開始液面検出センサ160と、補充水欠乏状態の液面を検出する補充水欠乏液面検出センサ162とを設置する。   The replenishing tank 66 has a full liquid level detection sensor 156 for detecting a full liquid level and a replenished liquid level for detecting a replenished liquid level in order to detect the amount of replenishing water stored in the replenishing tank 66. A liquid level detection sensor 158, a replenishment start liquid level detection sensor 160 for detecting a liquid level to start replenishment, and a replenishment water deficient liquid level detection sensor 162 for detecting a liquid level in a replenishment water deficiency state are installed.

この満杯液面検出センサ156が満杯時の液面を検出すると、満杯液面検出センサ156は、満杯信号を図示しないプリンタプロセッサ10の制御部へ送信する。すると、制御部は、図示しない警報装置を駆動して満杯警報を表示し、作業者に補充水の過剰供給を停止させるようにしむける。   When the full liquid level detection sensor 156 detects the full liquid level, the full liquid level detection sensor 156 transmits a full signal to the control unit of the printer processor 10 (not shown). Then, the control unit drives an alarm device (not shown) to display a full alarm so as to stop the operator from excessively supplying supplemental water.

また、補充済液面検出センサ158が、補充水の補充が必要な補充量に達したことを検出すると、補充済液面検出センサ158は、必要な補充量の補充水の補充済み信号を図示しないプリンタプロセッサ10の制御部へ送信する。すると、制御部は、モータ138を駆動して送り操作用歯車部材142を所要角度回動し錠剤包装体112を所要量搬送し、抗菌剤錠剤110が入っている錠剤収容部118を錠剤投入口部材128の投入開口の直上に位置させて停止させる自動制御の動作を行う。   In addition, when the replenished liquid level detection sensor 158 detects that the replenishment amount that requires replenishment water has been reached, the replenished liquid level detection sensor 158 shows a replenishment signal for the replenishment water of the necessary replenishment amount. Not transmitted to the control unit of the printer processor 10. Then, the control unit drives the motor 138 to rotate the feed operation gear member 142 by a required angle to convey the required amount of the tablet package 112, and the tablet storage unit 118 containing the antibacterial tablet 110 is moved to the tablet insertion port. An automatic control operation is performed in which the member 128 is stopped immediately above the charging opening.

次に、制御部は、錠剤排出機構144を駆動制御して延出されたロッド148により錠剤収容部118内の抗菌剤錠剤110にフィルム状部材120を突き破らせて錠剤投入口部材128内へ落下させることにより、抗菌剤錠剤110を補充槽66内の補充水に投入し、ロッド148を待機位置へ引き戻す自動制御の動作を行う。   Next, the control unit causes the antibacterial tablet 110 in the tablet storage unit 118 to pierce the film-like member 120 by the rod 148 extended by driving and controlling the tablet discharge mechanism 144 and into the tablet insertion port member 128. By dropping, the antibacterial tablet 110 is put into the replenishing water in the replenishing tank 66, and an automatic control operation is performed to return the rod 148 to the standby position.

次に、制御部は、ポンプ152を駆動し、洗浄ノズル150から噴射させた洗浄用の水により、錠剤収容部118の内部と破れて捲れたフィルム状部材120内面とを洗浄する自動制御の動作を行う。   Next, the control unit drives the pump 152 to perform an automatic control operation for cleaning the inside of the tablet storage unit 118 and the inner surface of the film-like member 120 that has been broken by the cleaning water sprayed from the cleaning nozzle 150. I do.

なお、この制御部は、錠剤包装体112に包装されている全ての抗菌剤錠剤110を使い果たしたときに、錠剤包装体の送り機構136を駆動して、錠剤包装体112を破棄トレイ134へ排出し、作業者が次の未使用のフィルム状部材120をセットするように促す表示を行う。   When all the antibacterial tablets 110 packaged in the tablet package 112 are used up, the control unit drives the feed mechanism 136 of the tablet package to discharge the tablet package 112 to the discard tray 134. Then, a display prompting the operator to set the next unused film-like member 120 is performed.

このプリンタプロセッサ10では、上述のように補充槽66に対する抗菌剤錠剤110の投入を自動的に実行するように構成することなによって、補充槽66に補充水を補充したときに抗菌剤錠剤110の投入忘れを無くすことができるため、プリンタプロセッサ10によるいわゆる写真処理を安定して行えるようにして品質の安定化を図ることができる。   In the printer processor 10, the antibacterial tablet 110 is not automatically loaded into the replenishing tank 66 as described above, so that the replenishing water in the replenishing tank 66 is replenished with the antibacterial tablet 110. Since the forgetting of input can be eliminated, so-called photographic processing by the printer processor 10 can be stably performed, and the quality can be stabilized.

また、補充開始液面検出センサ160が、補充水の量が補充を必要とする量まで減少したことを検出すると、補充開始液面検出センサ160は、補充水の補充を求める信号を図示しないプリンタプロセッサ10の制御部へ送信する。すると、制御部は、図示しない警報装置を駆動して補充水の補充を求める警報を表示し、作業者に補充水の供給を促す。   When the replenishment start liquid level detection sensor 160 detects that the amount of replenishment water has decreased to an amount that requires replenishment, the replenishment start liquid level detection sensor 160 generates a signal for requesting replenishment of replenishment water. It transmits to the control part of the processor 10. Then, the control unit drives an alarm device (not shown) to display an alarm requesting replenishment of replenishing water, and prompts the operator to supply replenishing water.
