させながら浸漬処理する方式のものである。[Prior art] There are several methods for developing photographic light-sensitive materials, such as immersion, spraying, and coating. The most common method is to provide a plurality of tank-type processing tanks in a horizontal series. In this method, a processing liquid is stored and prepared for each, and immersion processing is performed while the photographic photosensitive material is sequentially transported in a U-shape by a transport rack provided in a processing tank.

かなり煩雑である。[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the tank immersion method described above, the main part of the transport rack is immersed in the processing solution, but the photographic photosensitive material is transferred to the transport rack in the next step. Since it is located above the liquid level of the processing liquid, the processing liquid lifted by the photographic light-sensitive material being conveyed may adhere to rollers or the like, solidify and denature, and adversely affect processing performance. For this reason, it is necessary to periodically raise the transport rack and perform maintenance such as cleaning, but the maintenance work is considerably complicated.

には依然として不満が残っている。As described above, in the conventional automatic developing machine, a layout in which the processing units are arranged linearly in a horizontal series is generally used. However, even in the case of other layouts, the processing method in each processing unit is common. Since the system is adopted, the layout of the processing unit is limited, and dissatisfaction remains with the reduction of the installation area and the overall volume.
