Abstract

PURPOSE:To effectively utilize an automatic developing machine and to improve stable processing ability by deciding the number of sorting columns according to printing size, sorting photographic papers within the number of sorting columns and successively changing a carrying line. CONSTITUTION:The photographic paper P carried by a pair of entrance rollers 26 enters a sorting part 11. Then, it is engaged with a guide 22 and the carrying thereof is stopped. Besides, the engaged paper P is biased to one side of a carrying path. By properly setting a biasing stroke, the plural numbers of sorting columns are easily obtained. That means, when the paper P entering the sorting part 11 is started to be carried again after it is biased to the inner side, it is delivered to a next pair of rollers 12 and interposed and carried downward by the driving thereof. Then, since the interposing pressure of next pairs of rollers 13 and 14 is set to be weak and the pairs of rollers 13, 14 are rotated by following to the thrusting of the paper P, the paper P is thrust between the pairs of rollers 13, 14 by being interposed and carried by a pair of rollers 12 and the movement thereof is stopped at a position where it is released from the interposition by a pair of roller 12.

However, with the rapid increase in the use of color photography, the size of the image (service size, service size,
For L size, etc.), high-speed processing has come to be performed. The so-called simultaneous printing was developed to provide prints to customers as soon as possible.
On the other hand, the diversification of the use of photographs has advanced, and the demand for large-sized stretched prints, which has been said to be used only by professional photographers, has increased. It can be said that the enlargement of a large size is available to general users, supported by the improvement of the sensitivity of the photographic film, the reduction of the particle size, and the improvement of the photographing ability of the camera. In order to meet such demands, a printing apparatus and an automatic developing machine have come to be provided with a paper passage having a large width capable of processing a large size printing paper.

An automatic developing machine for photographic paper, which has a paper passage of a large width, is used for the arrangement space of the laboratory and the operating efficiency of the apparatus.
It is necessary to avoid arranging it separately from the automatic developing machine that has a narrow paper passage such as the service size that has been used so far. It was supposed to be processed. However, it would be inefficient to process small photographic papers one by one (in a row) through a large sized automatic processor, so it is inefficient. Separately, a small size of photographic paper that had been subjected to printing exposure was brought in all at once, and the sheets were simultaneously inserted by hand so that the number of sheets could be set to the width of the paper path of the automatic processor. This kind of manual work does not necessarily improve the overall efficiency just because it can be done.

In the present invention, the photographic distribution device is connected to the printing paper discharge section of the printing device in a light-tight manner, because the printing device is used in a bright room, and after the printing exposure is performed on the cut sheet-shaped printing paper, The purpose is to prevent latent image deterioration and reduce work in a dark room by immediately sorting and processing with an automatic processor. Only from baking to completion of development processing can be performed. However, it is not necessarily limited to making the connection with the automatic developing machine light-tight. Reason,
When an automatic developing machine for a large size that has already been used is placed in a dark room to use the sorting apparatus of the present invention while being useful for various purposes, the automatic developing machine is left installed in the dark room, Since the discharge part opening of the sorting device connected to the printing device installed in the bright room is provided through the light shielding wall of the dark room, the sorted printing paper can be inserted into the automatic developing machine in the dark room. Is. In the present invention, the number of sorting rows is determined according to the print size in the determination of sorting, since the processable width of the automatic developing machine is determined, the width of the adopted print size in the sheet passing direction is determined simultaneously. When passing through the automatic processor,
This is because it serves as a reference for calculating the number of sheets so that they are arranged so as not to overlap with the photographic papers adjacent to each other.

The print size is such that the width of the printing paper loaded in the printing apparatus is effectively exposed to the maximum, and one side of the print size is determined by the width of the printing paper and adjacent to the other. The sides are determined by the length of cutting the photographic paper. Therefore, in the present invention, it is the width of the photographic paper loaded in the printing apparatus that contributes to the calculation for sorting, and therefore the width of the photographic paper loaded in the printing apparatus is sent to the control means as information, and the sorting line is sent. The number may be calculated and determined, or the width of the photographic printing paper may be separately input by an input means and sent to the control means to calculate and determine the number of sorting rows.

Next, sorting by the number of sorting rows within the sorting row number calculated by the control means means that the entire processable width of the automatic processor is not used. By allocating as it exists, it is possible to allocate to the outermost end of the processable width of the automatic processor regardless of the print size. Therefore, the sequential transfer line according to claim 2 of the present invention. By changing the transport line from the outermost edge of the processable width of the automatic developing machine to the other outermost edge in order, and continuing the developing process, a specific portion in the automatic developing machine can be changed. Alternatively, it is possible to prevent dirt and the like from adhering and accumulating on a specific conveyance line, thereby preventing early generation of image dirt on the print.

Next, the printing paper P conveyed by the pair of entrance rollers 26
Enters the sorting unit 11, engages with the guide 22 to stop the conveyance, and moves the guide 22 in the direction perpendicular to the paper surface of FIG.
The engaged printing paper P is shifted to one side of the transport path. Although this embodiment shows an example of sorting into two rows, the invention is not limited to two rows, and a plurality of rows can be easily implemented by appropriately setting the above-mentioned deviation stroke. In this embodiment, there are two rows, and firstly, the photographic paper P that has entered the sorting section 11 is used.
When 1 is moved to the back side and the conveyance is restarted, the photographic printing paper P1 is delivered to the next roller pair 12 and is nipped and conveyed downward by the driving of the roller pair 12. The nip pressure of the next pair of rollers 13 and 14 is set to be weak, and is set to be driven and rotated by pushing the photographic paper P1.
It is pushed between 14 and stops moving when it leaves the nip of the roller pair 12.

Since there are two rows in this embodiment, the roller pair
Reference numerals 13 and 14 are divided into two rows in the direction perpendicular to the paper surface of FIG. 1. Since each roller pair is of a shaft support type not axially connected, the length of each roller pair is the length of the two rows. When a small size printing paper is pushed in, only the roller pair of the row concerned is driven to rotate, and the roller pair of the other row does not rotate.

Secondly, the photographic printing paper P2 that has entered the sorting section 11 is engaged with the guide 22 that has returned to the center after the above-mentioned one-sided shifting and is side-by-sided to the front side, and when the conveyance is resumed, the photographic paper P2 is printed. The paper P2 is delivered to the next roller pair 12, and is nip-conveyed downward by driving the roller pair 12. At this time, the photographic printing paper P2 is pushed along the row in front of the next roller pair 13, 14, so that the photographic printing paper P2 on the inner side of the roller pair 13, 14 holding the already pushed first printing paper P1 is sandwiched. Since the shaft is not connected to the row, the photographic paper P1 on the back side is not moved by the above pressing of the photographic paper P2 on the front row.
Then, the printing paper P2 in the front row also stops moving when the pair of rollers 12 leaves the nip.

As described above, in the distribution means 2, in this embodiment, the roller pair is divided into two rows as a means for pushing the distributed printing paper into the transport section in a plurality of rows.
The number of divisions may be increased by a desired number of rows, or the pair of rollers 13 and 14 may be unpinched without being divided and locked so as not to be driven, so that printing of a plurality of rows is performed. A method may be adopted in which the paper can be pushed in, the roller pairs 13 and 14 are pressed against each other when the pushing is completed, and the photographic paper is nipped and conveyed. In order to rotate the rollers divided into a plurality of rows at the same time when the conveyance is restarted, the pair of rollers 13 and 14 each have one axis, and the rotating driving roller is brought into contact rolling with the outer circumference.

Next, regarding the judgment of a plurality of examples, the photographic paper processable width of the connected automatic developing machines is wide according to the large size print, and this width is inputted to the arithmetic control means as a prescribed size, The print size is determined according to the order according to the width of the printing paper of the magazine loaded in the printing apparatus, and is input to the arithmetic control means to calculate the number of rows.
The number of columns may be processed according to the above-mentioned arithmetic control without any particular designation, or the number of columns selected within the number of columns calculated by the above-mentioned arithmetic may be processed by a separately provided selection means. This is because, in consideration of the number of prints for one order, it is advantageous for the stability of the process to complete the processing for one order with the number of rows as uniform as possible. The stability of processing here means stability of development processing in particular, and after the printing paper has been processed continuously for the full width of printing paper, and the printing paper passes by one line that is suddenly offset, the printing paper comes into contact. This is because the stains on the processing liquid often adhere to the portions that did not exist, and the stains may adhere to the photographic paper to be passed next to cause image stains. Therefore, it is preferable to allocate each order as evenly as possible, and in consideration of the necessity of another allocation for the next order, the allocation can be completed or reset for each order.
