The present invention relates to a photographic processor and a system for processing photographic materials such as negatives and paper. In particular, the present invention relates to a single-use processor that operates with a low-volume processing solution. The prior art conventional photographic material processing requires the use of many tank processing solutions. Each tank contains a processing solution such as a developer, a bleaching agent, a fixing solution or a washing solution. Material is conveyed through each tank in turn. These solutions tend to carry from one tank to another, resulting in contamination of these solutions. There are some other disadvantages to the conventional approach. The available temperature is limited and therefore its processing is slow. The composition of these solutions must be stable for a long time in the treatment tank. Solution replenishment is difficult to control. In order to overcome the problem of conventional deep groove treatment, the surface application method of treatment chemicals has been developed in the past. Generally speaking, the method of applying a surface for photographic processing involves applying a volume of a processing solution to the surface of a material to be processed. However, the conventional surface application method has several disadvantages. For example, if the processing solution applied to the material is left on the material only in a stationary state, the processing operation will be very slow and inefficient, because there is no stirring action and by-products will accumulate on the material layer to slow down the processing operation. These methods are also prone to uneven processing. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves a first problem by proposing a photographic processor and (2) (2) 200302391. Description of the Invention Continued = Processing Method 'It can substantially reduce the volume of the required processing solution and the processing of shadow material Effluent from the process. The present invention solves a second problem by providing a photographic processor and a processing method, which avoids the occurrence of different seasonal effects (differential seasoning eff, f, and ng effm) in the paper sheet. . This would result in inadequate development in the neutral maximum density region or display lines with twisted lines in the dark-bright exposure boundary according to one of the first aspects of the present invention. ^ ^.

The inlet for receiving the processing solution and a component for dissolving and dispersing the processing materials on the photographic materials processed by the slaves. This component is arranged to use ", not relative to each other; the side tray reciprocates, and /, is installed to disperse the processing solution on the material when the dispersed component phase, 卞 is reciprocated relative to the child tray" disk to E The processing solution is in the structure ::: the component is relative to the supporting the photographic material. The components are re-dispersed when they pass through the mother. Preferably, the tray is provided with a receiving ^ ^ ^ ^ >. The cavities surrounded by Zhao 坆, 彖 are used to store the W 材 #. More preferably, the dry disk is concave in the direction so that the distributing member follows the corresponding concave path in the force of the force. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the component is a roller. The roller can be made of any material, but it is more preferred to make it today—a shovel-saving material. It is possible that the raised edges that the social slave board has come to are:-Made of ML ML anti-slip material or covered, 仞 4 One or more of the following materials: 纹理Textured plastic jacket, a woven surface material, 200302391 Description of the Invention Continued (3) Net. In one example, the light is driven to ensure that the light rotates during reciprocating motion. The system for driving the rotation of the roller may include a driving light coupled to the reciprocating shaft, wherein the driving light is driven to drive the reciprocating roller; The reciprocating light is preferably driven to rotate at a rate that is necessary for the light to roll in use without slipping.
在一可行實例中，該往復輕有一既定外型（profile)以降 低該輥在定義出該托盤之該凹穴的高起邊緣上打滑的機 會。此可藉由使用一輥而達成，該輥有一將處理用溶液散 佈於欲處理的攝影材料上之中央區及在該輥每一端之一外 側區，該外側區（為共軸地安裝）且有一小於該中央區的半 徑。這為該輥定義出一階梯狀外型。該托盤之高起邊緣適 於有充分南度以確保該寺向起邊緣不會在該輕之中央區散 佈處理用溶液之時弄濕。換句話說，該輕之外側區在該輥 之中央區將處理用落液散佈於欲處理的材料上之時碰觸該 等高起邊緣且在其上滾動。 該等高起邊緣相對於該托盤之凹穴的高度以符合欲處理 的材料做選擇。舉例來說，其可能高出於該凹穴之水準面 (level)O.l公釐至7公釐之間。在一實例中，該等高起邊緣在 托盤中央高起0.1公釐至2.5公釐之間且在托盤盡頭高起0.6 公釐至3.0公釐之間。這確保在該輥到達托盤盡頭時，其相 對於材料高起，讓任何處理用溶液朝材料中央往回跑。 處理用溶液可為進行攝影材料處理之必要步驟中需要的 任何處理用溶液。一般而言，該溶液係由下列各物組成之 200302391 (4) 發明說明續頁 群中選出：顯影劑溶液，漂白劑溶液，定影劑溶液，漂白 -定影溶液，洗；^條溶液，安定劑溶液，顯影擴大劑溶液， 氧化還原增強溶液，氧化還原擴大溶液。 在一實例中，處理用溶液係由一排列為大致鄰接於該散 佈構件之給料斗供予該處理器。該給料斗最好是一排列為 與該散佈構件有一預定分隔距離（例如< 0.3公董）的歧管。 在依據本發明之處理器之一較佳實例中，該處理器至少 在托盤之一側内包含一出口 ，該出口排列在當該處理器使 用中時處理用溶液會到達的液面以下。此外，提供與該出 口連通之移除構件用以自該托盤移除溶液，藉此控制該托 盤内的溶液容積。 該移除構件可包括任何適當裝置，例如一閥或一录。 最好該移除構件自該托盤移除溶液的速率是由溶液供應 至該托盤的速率決定。此確保能在處理期間一直在該處理 器内維持最佳的處理用溶液容積。更佳來說，該移除構件 自該托盤移除溶液的速率為溶液供應至該托盤的速率之一 預定比例。 在依據本發明之處理器之一較佳實例中，至少在該托盤 之一端提供一止動屏障以為該散佈構件之路徑定義一界 限。 較佳來說，該屏障排列為與該托盤有一預定分隔距離使 得一溶液珠粒形成於該屏障與該托盤之間，該溶液珠粒定 義該托盤内之處理作業之一起始/停止位置。舉例來說， 在把紙導入該托盤時，其會通過該溶液珠粒使人能知道開 (5) (5)200302391 發明說明續頁 始處理的知施一 托|内位置（以及時間）並能精確控制。 "crj* 才是In a feasible example, the shuttle has a predetermined profile to reduce the chance that the roller will slip on the raised edge that defines the pocket of the tray. This can be achieved by using a roller having a central region that spreads the processing solution on the photographic material to be processed and an outer region at each end of the roller, the outer region (coaxially mounted) and There is a radius smaller than the central area. This defines a stepped profile for the roller. The raised edge of the tray is suitable to be sufficiently south to ensure that the temple's raised edge does not get wet when the treatment solution is spread in the light central area. In other words, the light outer side area touches the high rising edge and rolls on it when the processing liquid is spread on the material to be processed in the central area of the roller. The height of the raised edges relative to the recesses of the tray is selected according to the material to be processed. For example, it may be higher than the level of the cavity between 0.1 mm and 7 mm. In one example, the raised edges rise between 0.1 mm and 2.5 mm in the center of the tray and between 0.6 mm and 3.0 mm at the end of the tray. This ensures that when the roller reaches the end of the tray, it rises relative to the material, allowing any processing solution to run back towards the center of the material. The processing solution may be any processing solution required in the steps necessary for processing the photographic material. Generally speaking, the solution is 200302391 (4) Selected from the continuation sheet of the description of the invention: developer solution, bleach solution, fixer solution, bleach-fixing solution, washing; strip solution, stabilizer Solution, developing magnifier solution, redox enhancing solution, redox expanding solution. In one example, the processing solution is supplied to the processor from a feed hopper arranged substantially adjacent to the dispersing member. The feed hopper is preferably a manifold arranged at a predetermined separation distance (e.g., < 0.3 mm) from the spreading member. In a preferred embodiment of the processor according to the present invention, the processor includes an outlet in at least one side of the tray, and the outlet is arranged below the liquid level that the processing solution will reach when the processor is in use. In addition, a removal member is provided in communication with the outlet for removing the solution from the tray, thereby controlling the volume of the solution in the tray. The removal member may include any suitable device, such as a valve or a recording. Preferably, the rate at which the removal member removes solution from the tray is determined by the rate at which the solution is supplied to the tray. This ensures that the optimum processing solution volume can be maintained in the processor at all times during processing. More preferably, the removal member removes the solution from the tray at a predetermined ratio of a rate at which the solution is supplied to the tray. In a preferred embodiment of the processor according to the present invention, a stop barrier is provided at least at one end of the tray to define a boundary for the path of the dispersing member. Preferably, the barrier is arranged with a predetermined separation distance from the tray so that a solution bead is formed between the barrier and the tray, and the solution bead defines a start / stop position of a processing operation in the tray. For example, when the paper is introduced into the tray, it will let people know through the solution beads.

"One arrangement is the basis for the closing stage. Invented first (7) (7) 200302391 Invented additional processor for renewing the view. The at least one additional processor is arranged from the first: the processor receives photographic material and performs one or more post-processing on the photographic material. Processing stage. The present invention proposes a photographic processor that can repeatedly disperse a small amount of processing solution on the full surface area of the photographic material to be processed. More precisely = due to the reciprocating movement of the component relative to the tray, The solution is dispersed again on the photographic material every time the member passes. The dispersing member enables the treatment solution to be evenly spread on the paper surface so that there are no visual defects in the uniform area. In addition, the reciprocation The movement effectively formulates the solution on the surface of the paper and prevents any quaternization effect. The invention discards the conventional deep groove solution without retention. The processing solution is used only when the photographic material is It is fed into the processor while it is being processed, and there is no solution in the processor when the processor is interposed. For this reason, the volume of the processing solution is substantially reduced compared to the conventional photographic processors and methods. In addition, The need for redundant liquid dripping reduces the need for procedural control. Furthermore, changes must be made between any of the many available photochemical processing procedures (such as changing from color to black and white, to Rx, Then change back to color again) as simple. In the past, it was found that a small amount of processing solution should be evenly applied to the surface of the photo paper. This is particularly true when the volume of the solution is small and the volume per unit area of the photographic material (liters per square meter) is the same as that used to supplement the conventional deep tank processor. The application solution is essentially coated on the surface of the paper and left undisturbed before the time for the next stage of treatment. Usually -12-200302391 (8) Description of the invention `` Repellancy // traces appear because the dry surface of photo paper is hydrophobic. This phenomenon occurs even when a surface wetting agent is present in the processing solution to assist wetting.
這些問題經本發明克服，本發明在處理作業之每一階段 中散佈且再次散佈溶液許多次。因而避免斥水痕跡。舉實 例來說，若往復構件之循環時間是介於每秒0.2至5次循環， 則就一 3 0秒的顯影時間來說在紙的同一區上會有介於6至 150次的通過。這足以防止任何不均勻。 在紙的路徑彎曲成一凹狀形式（亦即一淺弧）的情況中， 有可能使用少量的溶液且將其重複地散佈於欲處理攝影材 料之一給定長度。換句話說，所用處理用溶液的容積比起 習知處理器實質減少。事實上，由於此溶液僅在需要用到 的時候方須供應，溶液供應速率大致等於習知攝影處理器 之補充溶液供應速率。These problems are overcome by the present invention, which distributes and re-disperses the solution many times during each stage of the processing operation. Thus avoiding water repellent marks. For example, if the cycle time of the reciprocating member is between 0.2 and 5 cycles per second, there will be between 6 and 150 passes in the same area of the paper for a development time of 30 seconds. This is enough to prevent any unevenness. In the case where the path of the paper is bent into a concave form (that is, a shallow arc), it is possible to use a small amount of solution and repeatedly disperse it over a given length of one of the photographic materials to be processed. In other words, the volume of the processing solution used is substantially reduced compared to conventional processors. In fact, since this solution must be supplied only when it is needed, the solution supply rate is approximately equal to the supplemental solution supply rate of the conventional camera processor.
經往復構件和表面張力協助，攝影材料會配合托盤的形 狀適形。此意味著只有極少處理用溶液會跑到攝影材料底 下且因而加上的溶液容積絕大部分會留在材料表面上進行 散佈。 偶爾有可能發生處理用化學物侵入攝影材料（例如紙）之 切割邊緣的 ''邊緣侵入（edge penetration)〃現象。這會沿著 紙邊產生不可接受的可見痕跡。此可能是因為一輥沿紙邊 重複通過所導致。此現象在本發明之一實施例中避免，在 該實施例中將紙行經之一凹穴或通道設定在構件高度的正 下方。此通道延伸於該淺托盤之絕大部分寬度但在通道之 -13 - 200302391 ⑼ I發明說明續頁 任一侧有一個高起區段之5公釐寬肩部，此區段延伸至該 淺托盤之侧壁。然後該構件跑到紙之任一側的高起區段上 且因而只有稍微碰觸到紙表面。With the assistance of reciprocating members and surface tension, the photographic material will conform to the shape of the tray. This means that very few treatment solutions will run under the photographic material and the majority of the added solution volume will therefore remain on the surface of the material for distribution. Occasionally, “edge penetration” may occur when processing chemicals penetrate the cutting edge of photographic materials (such as paper). This creates unacceptable visible marks along the edges of the paper. This may be caused by a roller repeatedly passing along the edge of the paper. This phenomenon is avoided in one embodiment of the present invention, in which a pocket or passage through which the paper travels is set directly below the height of the member. This channel extends over most of the width of the shallow tray but at -13-200302391 ⑼ I.

Depending on the exposure of the image, different rates of chemical consumption and different dissolution rates of 'seasoned out chemicals' from the photographic material will result in regional \ 'seasoning' effects that will cause unevenness . These regional quaternization effects are removed by moving the reciprocating member by mixing & quaternized chemicals with the entire area of the photographic material to be processed. Implementation Method FIG. 1 illustrates a first example of a processor according to the present invention. In this example, a shallow tray 1 is provided with an input driving roller 3 and an output driving roller 4. Shallow
盤1選擇為有一適於處理攝影材料的適當長度（在本案例中 為3 5 0公釐），其在末端高起3 5公釐且在兩端之間有恆定曲 率。該托盤較佳（但非必要）為淺盤。該處理器有一用來將 處理用溶液散佈於欲處理的攝影材料上之構件2。在本案 例中，構件2是一輥，然亦可使用任何適當的散佈裝置。 舉例來說，可使用一多孔墊或T形拖把（squeegee)將處理用 溶液散佈於欲處理的材料上。 提供一驅動機構1 3，1 4，1 5，1 6和1 7驅使輥2以介於位置2 a 和2b間之往復運動越過攝影材料的表面。在本實例中，驅 動機構包含一偶合於傳動皮帶1 5的傳動塊1 3。淺托盤1具 備側壁6以便形成一水密室。往復輥2在每一側由臂件1 4支 -14- 200302391 (ίο) 發明說明續頁 撐，該等臂件偶合於塊1 3，該塊架在側壁6頂上。塊1 3具 有用來支撐連接至輥2之臂件1 4的通道，該等臂件可滑動 地安裝在該等通道内。亦可使用替代的驅動機構，例如一 具有一内螺紋通道的塊，其安裝在一可控制旋轉的有螺紋 傳動軸。其他可行的驅動機構實例見下文。The disc 1 is selected to have an appropriate length (350 mm in this case) suitable for processing photographic material, which rises 35 mm at the end and has a constant curvature between the two ends. The tray is preferably (but not necessarily) shallow. The processor has a member 2 for dispersing a processing solution on a photographic material to be processed. In this case, the component 2 is a roller, but any suitable spreading device may be used. For example, a porous pad or a T-squeegee can be used to spread the treatment solution on the material to be treated. A driving mechanism 1 3, 1, 4, 15, 16, and 17 is provided to drive the roller 2 across the surface of the photographic material in a reciprocating motion between positions 2a and 2b. In this example, the drive mechanism includes a transmission block 13 coupled to a transmission belt 15. The shallow tray 1 is provided with a side wall 6 so as to form a watertight chamber. The reciprocating roller 2 is supported on each side by 4 arms -14- 200302391 (ί) Description of the invention continued sheet support, these arms are coupled to the block 1 3, which is supported on the top of the side wall 6. The blocks 13 have passages for supporting the arm members 14 connected to the roller 2, and the arm members are slidably installed in the passages. Alternative drive mechanisms can also be used, such as a block with an internally threaded channel mounted on a threaded drive shaft that can be controlled for rotation. Examples of other possible drive mechanisms are given below.
在使用時，於往復輥2已以一大約每秒1至2次循環[1至2 cps(cycle per second)]的速率在位置2a和2b間運動的同時使 欲處理材料（例如相片紙）經一導引件（圖中未示）進給至輸 入辕3。在圖1中，位置2 a和2 b的輕代表辕2的終極位置， 也就是說，在本實施例中事實上在托盤内僅有一個輥2。 當然也有可能是有兩個或更多個輥往復運動。亦有可能在 托盤内有一或多個往復運動的輥及其他不往復運動的輥。 紙5從往復輥2底下通過淺托盤並從輸出輥4離開托盤。塊1 3 附接於一皮帶1 5，其往復運動以使輥2在位置2 a和2 b之間 移動。輥1 6和1 7驅動皮帶1 5。輥2以其自身重量架在通道1 0 的側壁上，且臂件1 4能在塊1 3的孔内自由移動。此得由圖 2清楚看見，該圖繪出圖1處理器之一剖面圖。在一實例中， 辕2受到偏動構件例如一捲簧或任何其他適當類型的彈簧 以欲處理材料的方向偏動。 臂件1 4在輥2往其行程之極限移動之時於塊1 3内舉起。 若該處理器是以連續模式運轉，則從一撓性供應管1 8透過 一輸送管8將處理用溶液持續地添加到輥2上。另一選擇， 得透過在托盤本身底部的一或多條管路1 9添加且/或移除 處理用溶液。處理用溶液亦可為添加在淺托盤1内任何其 -15 - 200302391 發明說明續頁 (η) 他適當的點處。舉例來說，此溶液得從紙的底下或上方添 加或移除。 當該處理器以連續使用模式運作，托盤1内的溶液容積 會逐漸增加。因為輥2之往復運動及處理作業中使用之少 量溶液容積，在淺托盤的案例中並不適合使用一運用一豎 管的習知溢流系統。要使用一豎管必須加寬托盤，從而增 加溶液容積。In use, the reciprocating roller 2 has been moved between positions 2a and 2b at a rate of about 1 to 2 cycles [1 to 2 cps (cycle per second)] while moving the material to be processed (such as photo paper). Feed to input 辕 3 via a guide (not shown). In FIG. 1, the lightness of positions 2a and 2b represents the ultimate position of 辕 2, that is, in this embodiment, there is actually only one roller 2 in the tray. It is of course possible to have two or more rollers reciprocating. It is also possible to have one or more reciprocating rollers and other non-reciprocating rollers in the tray. The paper 5 passes through the shallow tray from the bottom of the reciprocating roller 2 and leaves the tray from the output roller 4. The block 1 3 is attached to a belt 15 which reciprocates to move the roller 2 between positions 2 a and 2 b. The rollers 16 and 17 drive the belt 15. The roller 2 is supported on the side wall of the channel 10 by its own weight, and the arm member 14 can move freely in the hole of the block 13. This is clearly seen in Figure 2, which depicts a cross-sectional view of the processor of Figure 1. In one example, the cymbal 2 is biased by a biasing member such as a coil spring or any other suitable type of spring in the direction of the material to be processed. The arm member 14 is raised in the block 1 3 when the roller 2 moves to the limit of its stroke. If the processor is operated in a continuous mode, the processing solution is continuously added to the roller 2 from a flexible supply pipe 18 through a conveying pipe 8. Alternatively, the processing solution may be added and / or removed through one or more lines 19 at the bottom of the tray itself. The processing solution may be added to the shallow tray 1 at any other appropriate point. For example, this solution must be added or removed from under or above the paper. When the processor is operated in a continuous use mode, the volume of the solution in the tray 1 will gradually increase. Due to the reciprocating movement of the roller 2 and the small volume of solution used in the processing operation, a conventional overflow system using a standpipe is not suitable in the case of shallow trays. To use a standpipe, the tray must be widened to increase the solution volume.
在如圖1所示之本發明較佳實施例中，一出口 2 0安置在 托盤1之側壁其中之一内，低於溶液的液面。出口 2 0連接 至一用來控制托盤内溶液容積之閥22或泵。托盤内的溶液 容積係由溶液添加至托盤的速率決定。In the preferred embodiment of the present invention as shown in Fig. 1, an outlet 20 is disposed in one of the side walls of the tray 1 below the liquid level of the solution. The outlet 20 is connected to a valve 22 or pump for controlling the volume of the solution in the tray. The volume of solution in the tray is determined by the rate at which the solution is added to the tray.
換句話說，處理用溶液經由出口 2 0及泵或閥2 2移離托盤 1的速率與處理用溶液供應至托盤的速率有所關聯。最好 處理用溶液經由出口 2 0及泵或閥2 2移離托盤1的速率成比 例地少於處理用溶液供應至托盤的速率。其用處為確保在 處理期間於托盤内維持著怪定容積的溶液。習知的托盤内 液面感測器（例如傳導係數、IR、時間等）亦可起動抽吸泵。 亦可使用一閥代替一泵。 視需要亦可將泵或閥2 2連接至能讓溶液通過移離托盤1 的管路1 9。 圖3顯示一用於本發明攝影處理器之給料斗24的實例。 給料斗2 4提供一個用來將處理用溶液導引到輥2上且更常 見是導到系統的可行方式。給料斗2 4排列為緊鄭著輥2， 且可排列為從一歧管（圖中未示）接收處理用溶液。在一實 -16 - (12) (12)200302391 發明說明續頁 例中，該歧管排列在給料斗24上方一預定距離貞，然盆亦 可能設計為與給料斗24成任何適當的排列方式。 、、口料斗24通吊排列在輥上方不超過2 · 5公釐（然亦可能更 夕）^刀距離。輥與給料斗之間的分隔距離限制係依處 :用溶液形成-珠粒的能力來決定。此取決於例如處理： 六、、、表面張力及/或黏度等因素。其他亦可能影響分隔 距離限制的因素包含輥2或給料斗的製造材料及，或處理用 溶液、輥和給料斗24其中任一者的溫度。 形成万；給料斗2 4與輥2之間的間隙確保該輥均勾地潤 濕，藉此避免在攝影材料5上產生處理用溶液的條紋以: /、他此颂不均勻。給料斗24是確保處理用溶液平均分佈於 王1的一種可行方式。適於確保處理用溶液平均分佈 =糕2全寬之其他適合的構件實例包含一氈墊、一 τ形刮刀 或控制為將溶液射到輥2上的閥（例如一電磁閥）。 圖4至8繪出用來驅動往復輥2之驅動機構的實例。在圖4 中’使用一滑件機構3 〇。機構3 〇包括一偶合於一受_導執 6、、勺束之滑架3 4的傳動輪3 2。在傳動輪3 2轉動時，受導執 6、'、勺束的滑架3 4被帶動進行往復線性運動。滑架3 4 (其可 $含圖1所示之塊13)偶接於輥2且使該輥相對於欲處理的 砰心材料往復運動。此一驅動機構有著馬達僅需以—△ 運彳- 万向 ^ 丁勺好處。傳動輪32並不一定要垂直地平行於滑架運 订’舉例來說其可為水平地橫跨滑架3 4安裝。 圖5繪出一用來驅動滑架3 4之驅動機構的替代實例 本案例中為使用一皮帶36和銷38(蘇格蘭軛 杈供輪 -17- 200302391 發明說明續頁 (13)In other words, the rate at which the processing solution is removed from the tray 1 via the outlet 20 and the pump or valve 2 2 is related to the rate at which the processing solution is supplied to the tray. Preferably, the rate at which the treatment solution is removed from the tray 1 via the outlet 20 and the pump or valve 2 2 is proportionally less than the rate at which the treatment solution is supplied to the tray. Its use is to ensure that a strange volume of solution is maintained in the tray during processing. Liquid level sensors (such as conductivity, IR, time, etc.) in conventional trays can also start the suction pump. It is also possible to use a valve instead of a pump. If necessary, a pump or valve 2 2 can also be connected to the line 19 allowing the solution to pass away from the tray 1. Fig. 3 shows an example of a feed hopper 24 used in the photographic processor of the present invention. The hopper 24 is provided with a viable way to direct the processing solution onto the roll 2 and more often to the system. The feed hoppers 24 are arranged as tightly pressing the rollers 2 and may be arranged to receive the processing solution from a manifold (not shown). In Yishi-16-(12) (12) 200302391 Continued Example of the Invention, the manifold is arranged a predetermined distance above the feed hopper 24, but the basin may also be designed in any suitable arrangement with the feed hopper 24 . The mouth hopper 24 is hoisted and arranged above the rollers no more than 2.5 mm (but it may be more important) ^ knife distance. The limitation of the separation distance between the roller and the feeding hopper is determined by: the ability of the solution to form beads. This depends on factors such as handling, surface tension, and / or viscosity. Other factors that may also affect the separation distance limitation include the manufacturing material of the roll 2 or the feed hopper and the temperature of any of the processing solution, the roll, and the feed hopper 24. The gap between the feeding hopper 24 and the roller 2 ensures that the roller is moistened, thereby avoiding streaks of the processing solution on the photographic material 5: The feed hopper 24 is a feasible way to ensure that the processing solution is evenly distributed to the king 1. Examples of other suitable components suitable for ensuring an even distribution of the processing solution = the full width of the cake 2 include a felt pad, a τ-shaped spatula, or a valve (such as a solenoid valve) controlled to shoot the solution onto the roller 2. 4 to 8 illustrate examples of a driving mechanism for driving the reciprocating roller 2. In Fig. 4, a slider mechanism 30 is used. The mechanism 30 includes a transmission wheel 32 coupled to a guided frame 6 and a scoop 34. When the transmission wheel 32 is rotated, the guided carriage 6, 4 and the carriage 34 of the spoon bundle are driven to perform a reciprocating linear motion. The carriage 3 4 (which may include the block 13 shown in FIG. 1) is coupled to the roller 2 and reciprocates the roller relative to the ping material to be processed. This drive mechanism has the advantages of a motor that only needs to be △ 万-universal ^ Ding spoon. The driving wheel 32 does not have to be vertically parallel to the carriage. It may be installed horizontally across the carriage 34, for example. Fig. 5 depicts an alternative example of a drive mechanism for driving the carriage 34. In this case, a belt 36 and a pin 38 (Scotch yoke supply wheel -17- 200302391 description of the invention are continued) (13)

The carriage 34 is driven by a pin 38, which is itself connected to the belt 36 and is also constrained within the slot. When the belt 36 is rotated (for example, due to the rotation of the wheel 40), the pin 38 is driven to cause the carriage 34 to move back and forth between the wheels 40. Optionally, a toothed belt and pulley arrangement can be used to provide better alignment and reduce the risk of slipping. A single motor (not shown) equipped with a worm gear box can be used to drive the belt on each side of the tray, or the drive mechanism can be installed horizontally above the tray, and the carriage 34 is driven from a central position. The use of a belt on each side of the pallet will provide increased stability and control of the carriage 34. FIG. 6 illustrates another example of a driving mechanism for driving the carriage 34. In this case, a rack-and-pinion drive mechanism is used. The carriage 34 is attached to a rack 42 which is driven by a pinion 44 from a motor 46. The motor 46 is driven in one direction and then reversed to achieve the reciprocating motion of the carriage. A stepper motor or a standard DC motor that operates under proper control can be used.

In this case, the reciprocating roller 2 swings on an elongated arm member 48 which pivots at a pivot point 50 above the (or each) tray. The arm member 48 preferably has a pivot point 52 along its length to allow it to make vertical movements within the tray and also tolerate manufacturing tolerances for the radius of the tray. A motor 5 4 such as a stepper motor or a standard DC motor operating under appropriate control may be used to drive the arm member 48 to rotate. In Fig. 7B, an additional member 5 6 articulated to the arm member 48 at one pivot point 5 8 of each arm member is used to couple the movement of the arm member 48. Alternatively, each arm member 4 can be driven independently using a separate motor. Fig. 8 illustrates a drive for driving the reciprocating roller 2 without using a carriage. -18-200302391 Description of the Invention Continued (14) An example of a moving mechanism. A motor is installed in the roller 2 and a fixed arm member 60 is coupled to the output shaft of the motor. When the motor is started, rotation of the motor body causes the roller 2 to rotate and move relative to the tray. In order to facilitate the reciprocating movement of the roller 2, a micro-switch can be used to switch a driving current in the motor to cause the rotation direction to be reversed. Alternatively, a separate motor can be used to provide reverse motion so that the entire stack is controlled to reciprocate relative to the tray.
過去頃發現要將少量處理用溶液均勾施加至相片紙表面 相當難，因為任何施加瑕疵會以最終影像内一污點或不均 勾部呈現。這在處理用溶液的客積少且就攝影材料之每早 位面積使用容積（毫升/平方公尺）來說與用來補充習知深槽 處理器所使用之相同量的情況特別確實。在本案例中，處 理用溶液本質上是塗佈於紙表面上然後在未達下一階段處 理的時間之前不受干擾地留著處理。In the past, it has been found that it is quite difficult to apply a small amount of the treatment solution to the surface of the photo paper, because any application defects will appear as a stain or uneven hook in the final image. This is particularly true when the processing solution has a small guest product and uses the same volume (ml / m²) per photographed area per photographic area as used to supplement the conventional deep tank processor. In this case, the processing solution is essentially coated on the surface of the paper and left undisturbed until the time for the next stage of processing.
通常用此等方法會出現w斥水〃痕跡，因為相片紙的乾 膠質表面是疏水性的。此現象即使在處理用溶液内存在表 面潤濕劑以協助潤濕的時候仍會出現。這些問題經本發明 克服，本發明在處理作業之每一階段中散佈且再次散佈溶 液且最好是進行許多次。因而避免斥水痕跡。舉實例來說， 若往復輥之循環時間是介於每秒0.2至5次循環，則就一 3 0 秒的顯影時間來說在紙的同一區上會有介於6至1 50次的通 過。這足以防止任何不均勻。 此外，在本發明中該處理用溶液是容納在托盤内且因而 不會流出紙的側面。處理用溶液因重力作用而跑向托盤底 部然後藉由往復輥將其從紙的一端帶到另一端。 -19- 200302391 散明說明續貢 托盤寬度以與要在其内接受處理之材料的宽 件作選擇。一般而言，托盤丨之 為條 、， 鬥#見度為112公釐JL紐、s 适的寬度為1〇2公釐（足以容納4英吋寬的紙）。托盤底,、 高起邊緣10在紙通道的每一側延伸5公，。這能從圖广 圖中清楚看見。往復輥2在為該輥提供導？丨作用之言°面 緣10的頂上行動且略微接觸紙表面。、紙通道（或㈤^起邊 度約為紙的厚度’然亦可為大於或小於紙厚。亦有八可::深 除凹下的紙通道’纟此情況中以往復輥直接在紙上滾：免 在本案例中，最好使用一由柔軟彈性材料如橡膠或：= 他通當彈性材料製成的輥。該輥架在得大約等於紙厚之二 起邊緣或侧軌上。因此’該輕僅輕微或用力地碰觸紙: 在往復輥與紙之間維持一值定溶液珠確2 理作業的均勻度。 更為確保處 吾人期望將紙輸送通過耗盤且使紙保持在其通道内。此 藉由輸入鞍3和輸出輕4搭配促使紙張配合淺托盤i度的往 復輥2達成。 在-些案例中’該輥在欲處理用溶液潤濕時會不易於轉 動。這在處理用溶液含有表面活性劑時特別明顯，因此等 落液導致該輥打滑而非滾動。 4主此確保琢輥是滾動 而非滑動以確保處理用溶液均勾散佈。 此可藉由以一柔軟且易於料來A 、 为万；，笑形的材料製造該輥的方式達 成。另一選擇，得將往復輥制 &為稍重以便在其接觸托 盤的邊緣處提供較大摩擦。在一每 L _ 焉例中，曦任復輥2在其 上運行的高起邊緣10是用—止滑材料製成或包覆，例如具 -20- 200302391 (16) I發明說明續頁 備一稍粗糙表面以防止或大幅減少打滑。此止滑材料可為 一有紋理的金屬，一塑膠，一織造表面如不銹鋼網，或尼 龍網或是一塑膠網。在一實例中，往復輥2的邊緣得為在 高起邊緣1 0上運行，此等邊緣位在溶液施加區以外且因而 能維持乾燥。Water repellent marks usually appear with this method because the dry surface of the photo paper is hydrophobic. This phenomenon occurs even when a surface wetting agent is present in the processing solution to assist wetting. These problems are overcome by the present invention, which distributes and re-disperses the solution at each stage of the processing operation and is preferably performed many times. Thus avoiding water repellent marks. For example, if the cycle time of the reciprocating roller is between 0.2 and 5 cycles per second, there will be between 6 and 150 passes in the same area of the paper for a development time of 30 seconds. . This is enough to prevent any unevenness. Further, in the present invention, the processing solution is contained in a tray and thus does not flow out of the side of the paper. The treatment solution ran toward the bottom of the tray due to gravity and then brought it from one end of the paper to the other by a reciprocating roller. -19- 200302391 Clearly states that the width of the tray will be selected based on the width of the material to be treated. Generally speaking, the trays are strips, the bucket # visibility is 112 mm JL, and the appropriate width is 102 mm (enough to accommodate 4-inch wide paper). The bottom of the tray, with raised edges 10, extends 5 meters on each side of the paper channel. This can be clearly seen in the picture. Is the reciprocating roller 2 providing guidance for the roller?丨 Statement of action ° The top of the edge 10 acts and touches the paper surface slightly. 、 Paper path (or ㈤ ^ The starting edge is about the thickness of the paper, but it can also be greater than or less than the thickness of the paper. There are also eight possible :: Deeply remove the concave paper channel '. In this case, the reciprocating roller is directly on the paper. Rolling: In this case, it is best to use a roller made of a soft and elastic material such as rubber or: = tantalum elastic material. The roller frame is on the edge or side rail that is approximately equal to the thickness of the paper. Therefore 'The light touches the paper only slightly or forcefully: maintain a constant solution bead between the reciprocating roller and the paper to ensure the uniformity of the processing operation. It also ensures that the person expects the paper to be conveyed through the consumable tray and the paper is kept at In the channel. This is achieved by the combination of the input saddle 3 and the output light 4 to promote the paper to cooperate with the reciprocating roller 2 of the shallow tray. In some cases, 'the roller will not be easy to rotate when the solution to be processed is wet. This This is particularly noticeable when the treatment solution contains a surfactant, so waiting for the falling liquid to cause the roller to slip rather than roll. 4 It is mainly to ensure that the roller is rolled instead of sliding to ensure that the treatment solution is spread. This can be achieved by using a Soft and easy to come from, A, is a smile-shaped material The way to make this roller is achieved. Another option is to make the reciprocating roller & slightly heavier in order to provide greater friction at the edge where it touches the tray. In one example, Xi Renfu roller 2 is on it The running high rising edge 10 is made of or covered with a non-slip material, such as -20-200302391 (16). I Description of the Invention Continued to prepare a slightly rough surface to prevent or greatly reduce slippage. This anti-slip material can be A textured metal, a plastic, a woven surface such as a stainless steel mesh, or a nylon mesh or a plastic mesh. In one example, the edge of the reciprocating roller 2 must run on a raised edge 10, which Outside the solution application zone and thus can be kept dry.
亦有可能往復輥2是從動的以便確保其在行經欲處理材 料時為轉動。此可藉由提供一種排列而達成，在此排列中 往復輥2與另一輥在上方或該另一輥受帶動之側相接觸然 後由該另一輥驅動該往復輥。往復輥2得在摩擦力足以供 給其常態旋轉的情況中以與其常態旋轉相同的速率轉動， 或是以一不同於其常態旋轉速率的速率轉動。It is also possible that the reciprocating roller 2 is driven in order to ensure that it rotates while passing through the material to be treated. This can be achieved by providing an arrangement in which the reciprocating roller 2 is in contact with the other roller above or the driven side of the other roller and the reciprocating roller is driven by the other roller. The reciprocating roller 2 must rotate at the same rate as its normal rotation, or at a rate different from its normal rotation rate, if the friction force is sufficient for its normal rotation.

Fig. 9 depicts a longitudinal sectional view of another type of roll which is also applicable to the present invention. In this case, the roll was made into a first-stage stepped profile 62 to enable it to be used forever above the liquid level of the processing solution and therefore it is likely to remain dry and higher at the high raised edge 10 during use. The height of the roller above the paper 5 is changed in a manner that modifies the shape of the roller 62. In the example shown in Fig. 9, the roll is made in a stepped profile 62 so that it can be used forever above the liquid level of the processing solution and therefore it is likely to remain dry and higher at the raised edge 10 in use. In this case, the shape is a square step. Alternative rollers and / or trays can be used to achieve the same effect, ensuring that the portion of the roller used to spread the processing solution on the photographic material does not wet the portion that lightly touches the edge 10 of the tray 1. For example, you can use an inclined stepped shape, but you may need to adjust the width of the tray accordingly-21-200302391 (17) Description of the invention continued on the whole page. In some cases, the processing solution may be trapped on one side of the slug when the reciprocating roller moves to the extreme positions 2 a and 2 b (shown in FIG. 10). Fig. 10 shows a longitudinal sectional view of the tray 1 cut through the raised edge on one side of the tray 1. The solution was carried upward and trapped on the side of the roller facing the direction of movement. To solve this problem, increase the height of the raised edge 10 of the tray 1 relative to the recess at least one of the ends of the processor as shown in the figure. The raised edge 6 4 is steeper than the raised edge 6 6 at the bottom of the tray. This is true for the raised edges on both sides of the tray. This ensures that the reciprocating roller 2 is lifted abruptly at any end of its stroke, leaving a gap under the central portion of the roller 2 for the processing solution to pass under the roller. For example, if the raised edge at 66 points is 0.2 mm higher than the base of the tray, the raised edge at 64 points is 0.6 mm higher than the base of the tray. A stepwise change in the height of the raised edge relative to the base of the tray may also be used. The processor can also operate in discontinuous mode, in which case a sheet of paper 5 is rapidly fed into the shallow tray 1 and stopped because the leading end of the paper was trapped between the output rollers 4. The processing solution is added via the transfer tube 8 in a single injection just before the paper 5 is fed into the tray 1. The paper 5 is left in the tray 1 for an appropriate period of time and then quickly pulled out from the output roller 4. In this case, the end portion (approximately 30 mm) of the paper trapped between the delivery rollers is blank and contains no image. In the continuous mode, the paper 5 is pulled out of the first shallow tray 1 and fed into a second shallow tray for the second stage of processing. The second shallow tray is the same as the first shallow tray. The second processing solution is fed just before the paper enters the second shallow tray. -22-200302391 (18) I Description of the invention Continued on the reciprocating roller in the second shallow tray. The second stage of processing is performed in this second shallow tray. A third or more stage is performed by a third or more shallow tray following the second shallow tray. One or more trays can be used for more than one stage of the photographic process.
圖1 1繪出一依據本發明之處理系統實例的示意圖。在該 處理系統運作時，每一往復輥2推動在其前方之一溶液珠 粒。在輥2到達其行程之盡頭時，若該溶液珠粒未含有由 輥2產生之慣量，則在某些情況下可能導致該珠粒繼續其 前行路徑。在一如圖1 1所示包括兩個相繼淺托盤的系統 中，此可能導致後續液槽或跨接處（crossover)受污染。為 解決此問題，將一防濺溢屏障6 8置放在跨接處之前橫越槽 寬以阻擋溶液珠粒之任何前行運動，藉此降低污染可能。FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram of an example of a processing system according to the present invention. While the processing system is operating, each reciprocating roller 2 pushes a solution bead in front of it. When the roller 2 reaches the end of its stroke, if the solution beads do not contain the inertia generated by the roller 2, it may in some cases cause the beads to continue their forward path. In a system including two successive shallow trays as shown in Fig. 11, this may lead to contamination of subsequent tanks or crossovers. To solve this problem, a splash barrier 68 is placed across the width of the groove before the bridge to block any forward movement of the solution beads, thereby reducing the possibility of contamination.
在顯影階段中重點在於顯影作業是開始和停止在同一 點。為此之故，位處托盤開頭處之防濺溢屏障6 8有一附帶 滚動以提供一定義開始/停止點。舉例來說，若第一托盤 是用於顯影和後續的漂白定影階段，能將此二階段保持分 離藉以避免污染。任一階段中使用的個別處理用溶液在防 濺溢屏障6 8底下形成一均勻珠粒讓進入該處理階段的紙由 此通過。此珠粒定義處理階段的起點，而下一個起點是在 跨接處之後漂白定影階段之内，亦即顯影作業停止之點。 在不連續模式中，紙張快速地送離第一淺托盤且快速地 送入相同的第二淺托盤内且在此因紙的前導端困在輸出輥 之間而停止。第二處理用溶液已經存在於第二淺托盤内且 往復輥已經在運動中。讓紙留在該托盤内一段適當時間然 -23 - 200302391 (19) 發明說明續頁 後將其快速地拉出送入一第三或後續處理托盤内。 另一種不連續方法是在單一淺托盤内進行全部處理。在 此情況中，以期望的時間長度完成顯影階段且將任何多餘 的顯影劑溶液移除。然後添加漂白-定影劑達期望時間且 移除任何多餘的溶液。然後連續地添加和移除洗絡用溶 液。藉此能在一單一托盤内運作一個完整的處理循環。 另一種適用的處理方法為揭示於英國專利申請案第 0026955.5號中之合併溶液處理法（merged solution process) 〃。雖然本發明之處理器主要是設計給相片紙使用， 其亦可用於攝影底片。在此情況中其最好有一適合底片寬 度（例如3 5公釐或APS)的通道。若處理器係要設計用於底 片處理，最好提供邊緣導引件（圖中未示）與底片穿孔處重 疊大約2公釐且將底片保持平坦抵住托盤基部。重疊的量 必須足以為底片提供一導引作用但不至於多到干擾底片處 理。一般而言，此重疊設計為在1到6公釐之間。此等邊緣 導引件得為往復輥在其上運行之高起邊緣的簡單延伸部。 若未提供邊緣導引件，則底片會捲曲且無法正確地輸送通 過托盤。對紙來說則不需要，其沒有邊緣導引件也能正確 輸送。 此裝置亦能用於彩色底片和相紙’黑白底片和相紙’及 彩色正片底片和相紙。只要改變第一溶液和後續溶液之添 加及移除之間的時間長度即能簡單地使用任何適當處理循 環。處理循環得包含下列獨立階段中之任何階段··顯影浴， 停止浴，停止-定影浴，漂白浴，漂白-定影浴，定影浴， -24- 200302391 (20) 發明說明續頁 洗 滌 浴，安定 劑浴，反 轉成像（reversal)浴 成 核 浴 y 氧 化 還 原 擴大劑或 增強劑浴 ，顯影擴大劑浴， /示 白 擴 大 劑 浴 j 、、西 /示 白 -定影擴大劑浴。這些可以任何適用 組 合 或 任 何 適 用 順 序 進行。 圖 12繪出得 自於一如 圖1所示攝影處理 器 之 結 果 的 曲 線 圖 。在此實例' _，相片紙 經曝光且在淺托盤 -往復輥（STARR) 處 理 器内處理 。亦做感 光計曝光且在一參 考 用 深 槽 處 理 器 内 接 受處理以 此與實驗 處理程序做比較。 以 20秒 鐘 的 短 顯 影 時 間做檢驗 。這比要 使用4 5秒鐘之顯影 時 間 的 參 考 處 理 程 序 短得多。 在此實例 中，STARR處理器 是 用 於 單 次 使 用 程 序 ，僅使用 少量處理 用溶液。參考處理程序是在以9 毫 升 /平方英尺或96.8毫升 /平方公尺補充的2 公 升 槽 内 進 行 0 STARR處理器 是在一開始時處理器内沒有 任 何 溶 液 的 條 件 下 進 行，且所 用處理用 溶液的量等於參考 處 理 程 序 之 補 充 速 率 ，亦即9 毫升/平方 英尺或96.8毫升厂 平 方 公 尺 的 顯 影 劑 〇 處理循環 如下所列 ： STARR處理程序 參考處理程序 顯 影 20秒 45秒 ,'35· /示 白 -定影 45秒 45秒 洗 滌 90秒 90秒 參 考處理程 序中使用 的顯影劑組合物為 由 一 標 準 商 用 套 組 製 成的Kodak Ektacolor SP。實驗用顯影 劑 組 合 物 如 下 所 列：The focus during the development phase is that the development job starts and stops at the same point. For this reason, the splash barrier 68 at the beginning of the tray has an additional scroll to provide a defined start / stop point. For example, if the first tray is used for development and subsequent bleaching and fixing stages, the two stages can be kept separate to avoid contamination. The individual treatment solution used in any stage forms a uniform bead under the splash barrier 68 to allow the paper entering the treatment stage to pass through. This bead defines the starting point of the processing stage, and the next starting point is within the bleaching and fixing stage after the bridge, where the development operation is stopped. In discontinuous mode, the paper is quickly fed away from the first shallow tray and quickly into the same second shallow tray, where it stops because the leading end of the paper is trapped between the output rollers. The second processing solution is already present in the second shallow tray and the shuttle roller is already in motion. Allow the paper to remain in the tray for an appropriate period of time. -23-200302391 (19) Description of the invention Continue the page and quickly pull it out into a third or subsequent processing tray. Another discontinuous method is to perform all processing in a single shallow tray. In this case, the development phase is completed in a desired length of time and any excess developer solution is removed. Bleach-fixer is then added for the desired time and any excess solution is removed. Then, the washing solution is continuously added and removed. This allows a complete processing cycle to be run in a single tray. Another suitable treatment method is the merged solution process (U.K. Patent Application No. 0026955.5). Although the processor of the present invention is mainly designed for photo paper, it can also be used for photographic film. In this case it is preferred to have a channel suitable for the width of the film (e.g. 35 mm or APS). If the processor is designed for film processing, it is best to provide an edge guide (not shown) that overlaps the hole in the film by about 2 mm and keeps the film flat against the base of the tray. The amount of overlap must be sufficient to provide a guide for the film but not so much as to interfere with the processing of the film. Generally speaking, this overlap is designed to be between 1 and 6 mm. These edge guides have to be simple extensions of the raised edges on which the reciprocating roller runs. If no edge guides are provided, the negatives will curl and not pass through the tray properly. This is not necessary for paper, which can be conveyed correctly without edge guides. This device can also be used for color negatives and photo papers, 'black and white negatives and photo papers', and color positive negatives and photo papers. By simply changing the length of time between the addition and removal of the first solution and subsequent solutions, any suitable processing cycle can simply be used. The processing cycle may include any of the following independent stages: developing bath, stop bath, stop-fixing bath, bleach-fixing bath, bleach-fixing bath, fixing bath, -24-200302391 (20) Description of the invention Continued washing bath, stabilization Agent bath, reverse bath nucleation bath y redox enlarger or enhancer bath, development enlarger bath, / whitening agent bath j, west / whitening-fixing agent bath. These can be done in any suitable combination or in any suitable order. Figure 12 plots the results from a photographic processor as shown in Figure 1. In this example, the photo paper is exposed and processed in a shallow tray-reciprocating roller (STARR) processor. The photometer was also exposed and processed in a reference deep groove processor to compare it with the experimental processing procedure. Check with a short development time of 20 seconds. This is much shorter than the reference procedure which used a development time of 45 seconds. In this example, the STARR processor is used for a single application, using only a small amount of processing solution. The reference processing procedure is performed in a 2 liter tank supplemented with 9 ml / sqft or 96.8 ml / sqm. 0 STARR processor is performed without any solution in the processor at the beginning, and the processing solution used The amount is equal to the replenishment rate of the reference process, that is, 9 ml / square foot or 96.8 millimeters of square meters of developer. The processing cycle is as follows: STARR process reference process development 20 seconds 45 seconds, '35 · / Revelation-Fixing 45 seconds 45 seconds Washing 90 seconds 90 seconds The developer composition used in the reference processing procedure was Kodak Ektacolor SP made from a standard commercial kit.

Photograph results are shown in Figure 12. It is clear from these sources that the experimental processing procedure is very close to the reference processing procedure. This proves several advantages and they are: 1. The STARR processor obtains results very close to the deep slot reference handler. 2. Processing within STARR is fast. 3. The processing in STARR uses only a small amount of developer (9 ml / sqft or 96.8 ml / sqm) equal to the make-up volume of the reference process. 4. This volume is discarded after processing is completed. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The examples of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the attached drawings.
