[0023] Figure 3 It is Figure 2 The enlarged view of the middle C. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical scheme of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in combination with specific embodiments of the present application and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0025] The film used in the portable developing tank of the present application includes a film cassette and a film in the cassette, and the film can be appropriately loosened or wound in the cassette with a certain space for movement. The structure and use method of the portable film developing tank of the present application are described below by taking a 135 film as an example.
[0026] As shown in Figures 1-3 The portable film developing tank comprises a light-shielding tank body 1, a base 2, a light-shielding cover 3, a handle 4 and a transmission shaft 5. The base 2 is fixed in the light-shielding tank body 1, and the base 2 is a groove with a space for accommodating the lower part of the film. The light-shielding cover 3 is screw-connected to the light-shielding tank body 1 (or can be fixed by using a buckle or other means). The light-shielding cover 3 has a hole, and the transmission shaft 5 is fixedly connected to the handle 4 at one end and has a bayonet 51 matched with the film shaft core 61 at the other end (for the convenience of understanding, Figure 1 the structure in the light-shielding tank body 1 is shown, but the light-shielding tank body 1 is not made of transparent material. The light-shielding tank body 1, the light-shielding cover 3 and other structures are black and light-shielding. They can be made of light-shielding materials such as plastic known to those skilled in the art). The base 2 can fix the film so that the film does not move randomly, especially when the handle and the transmission shaft rotate the film inside.
[0027] A light-shielding plate 52 is fixed on the transmission shaft 5. When the transmission shaft 5 passes through the light-shielding cover 3, the light-shielding plate 52 abuts against the inner side of the light-shielding cover 3 and blocks the hole on the light-shielding cover 3. This can prevent light from leaking through the hole on the light-shielding cover 3.
[0028] The base 2 is provided with a clamping groove 21 matched with the protrusions 62 on the side surface of the film cassette 6. The clamping groove 21 clamps the protrusions 62 on the outer side surface of the film cassette, so that the film cassette can be kept from rotating.
[0029] The handle 4 comprises a handle main body 41 and a grip 42. The top end of the transmission shaft 5 is screw-connected to one end of the handle main body 41, and the grip 42 is vertically fixed to the other end of the handle main body 41. The grip 42 comprises a screw shaft 421 and a knurled sleeve 422, and the screw shaft 421 is screw-connected to the handle main body 41 through the knurled sleeve 422.
[0030] The hole for screwing the transmission shaft 5 on the handle main body 41 is a counterbore (not shown in the figure). When the connecting hole of the handle main body 41 and the transmission shaft 5 is a counterbore, light leakage can also be prevented.
[0031] Method for using portable film developing tank
[0032] 1. Fix the film head of the film with adhesive tape or rubber ring outside the film cassette;
[0033] 2. Put the film into the light-proof tank body 1, and put the convex strip 61 on the side of the film cassette 6 into the clamping groove 21 of the base 2, so that the film will not move when the film is turned later;
[0034] 3. Pour the developing solution corresponding to the film, which will flow into the film cassette through the gap of the film cassette 6 and contact the film;
[0035] 4. Connect the bayonet 51 of the transmission shaft 5, which has been connected with the light-proof cover 3 and the handle 4, with the film core 61, cover the light-proof cover 3, and turn the handle 4 in one direction until it is blocked by resistance, then turn it in the opposite direction, and keep the cycle, so that the film in the film can be moved by turning the handle to make the film contact the developing solution better;
[0036] 5. After the developing time, open the light-proof cover to pour out the developing solution, and replace the developing solution (if only one step of developing solution is needed, this step can be ignored);
[0037] 6. Open the light-proof cover 3 to take out the film, wash it with clean water, and dry it to see the image.
[0038] The above only describes the embodiments of the present application and is not used to limit the present application. The present application can have various changes and variations for those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the scope of the claims of the present application.
