Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of film roll forming equipment, specifically to a device suitable for freely adjusting the placement chamber of a film roll forming machine. Background Technology
[0002] The invention of the professional film developing machine was a product of the standardization and industrialization needs of photographic technology and the evolution of the market (commercial mass production and niche personalization). Its development has witnessed the transformation of film photography from manual to automated, and from mass to niche, and it continues to play a key role in professional developing and film enthusiast communities, making it an indispensable part of the history of imaging technology.
[0003] In related technologies, professional film developing machines integrate steps such as developing, bleaching, fixing, and stabilizing. The film is placed in the loading chamber, which is usually located at the top or front of the developing machine. The film is first stretched into a section, then attached to the guide film, and finally the guide film is inserted into the guide film inlet inside the loading chamber. Through the transmission connection structure (such as traction shaft, chuck) inside the guide film inlet, the guide film and the film are fed into the developing channel of the developing machine. Through the transmission mechanism such as gears inside the machine, the guide film and the film are driven at a constant speed through each chemical tank. By driving the film through the developing tank, bleaching tank, fixing tank, and stabilizing tank in sequence, the developing process of the film from start to finish is completed.
[0004] However, the existing film loading chambers in film processing machines have fixed dimensions for their internal slots, which can only accommodate film of specific sizes. When the film sizes are different, the slots in the loading chamber cannot accommodate film of different sizes, resulting in limited practicality of the film loading chambers in film processing machines. To solve the above problems, a device that allows for free adjustment of the film loading chamber in film processing machines is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a device for freely adjusting the placement compartment of a film developing machine. The present invention adjusts the distance between the telescopic rods by means of a lateral moving component, thereby allowing film of different lengths to be placed in the placement slot. The longitudinal moving component moves the first slide rail back and forth, thereby adjusting the distance between the secondary and tertiary slots, thereby allowing film of different widths to be placed in the placement slot. Thus, the placement compartment can accommodate film of different sizes, improving the practicality of the developing machine.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a device for freely adjusting the placement chamber of a film processing machine. It includes bases symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the inlet of the placement chamber, a pair of placement slots between the bases, a guide plate inlet at the rear end of the placement chamber, a groove at the bottom front end of each base, and each placement slot is movably connected by two identical primary slots. Each primary slot includes a secondary slot and a tertiary slot. A lateral moving component is slidably arranged at the bottom of the primary slot, and a longitudinal moving component is arranged at the front of the lateral moving component.
[0007] The primary groove is crescent-shaped, and the secondary and tertiary grooves can form a crescent shape. The size of the secondary groove is smaller than that of the triangular groove, and the secondary groove is in front, followed by the tertiary groove.
[0008] Telescopic rods are symmetrically arranged between the two primary slots on the same side. The telescopic rods are used to adjust the distance between the two primary slots, so that films of different lengths can be placed in the slots. The two ends of the front telescopic rod are connected to the secondary slot, and the two ends of the rear telescopic rod are connected to the tertiary slot.
[0009] The lateral movement assembly includes a first slide rail that slides with the secondary slot, the first slide rail being used for lateral movement of the front half of the primary slot, thereby enabling lateral movement of the secondary slot; a second slide rail that slides with the tertiary slot, the second slide rail being used for lateral movement of the rear half of the primary slot, thereby enabling lateral movement of the tertiary slot; a first slider is provided at the bottom of each secondary slot, the first slider being used for sliding connection between the secondary slot and the primary slide rail; and a second slider is provided at the bottom of each tertiary slot, the second slider being used for sliding connection between the tertiary slot and the secondary slide rail.
[0010] A pair of transverse electric push rods are provided between the groove and its closest primary slot. The transverse electric push rods are used to push the primary slot to move laterally on the first and second slide rails, thereby adjusting the spacing of the telescopic rods. This allows film rolls of different lengths to be placed in the placement slot. The secondary slot near the center of the transverse movement component is fixedly connected to the primary slide rail, and the tertiary slot near the center of the transverse movement component is fixedly connected to the secondary slide rail.
[0011] Each first slide rail has a third slider at both ends of its bottom. The third slider is used to connect the first slide rail to the slide rail. Each third slider has a slide rail at its bottom. The slide rail is used to allow the first slide rail to move back and forth. Each second slide rail has a support block at both ends of its bottom. The support block is used to fix and support the second slide rail and also to prevent the second slide rail from moving. The slide rail and the support block are both fixedly set in the groove.
[0012] The longitudinal movement assembly includes multiple connecting blocks disposed at the bottom of the first slide rail. The connecting blocks are used to connect the first slide rail to the telescopic end of the longitudinal electric push rod. Each connecting block has a longitudinal electric push rod disposed on the side away from the second slide rail. The longitudinal electric push rod is used to drive the connecting block to move back and forth, thereby driving the first slide rail to move back and forth, thereby adjusting the distance between the secondary and tertiary slots, and thus placing films of different widths in the placement slot. The drive end of the longitudinal electric push rod is connected to the inner wall of the placement chamber.
[0013] Each primary slot has a baffle on the side furthest from the telescopic rod. The baffle is crescent-shaped and is used to prevent the film from falling out of the slot. Half of the baffle is installed on the secondary slot, and the other half is installed on the tertiary slot.
[0014] In summary, compared with the prior art, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0015] 1. By adjusting the spacing between the telescopic rods through the lateral moving component, film rolls of different lengths can be placed in the separate placement slots. The longitudinal moving component drives the connecting block to move, thereby moving the first slide rail back and forth. This allows the spacing between the secondary and tertiary slots to be adjusted, enabling film rolls of different widths to be placed in the placement slots. This allows the placement chamber to accommodate film rolls of different sizes, improving the practicality of the film processing machine.
[0016] 2. The groove is used to install the slide rail and support block, and the groove is also used to allow the first slide rail to move back and forth.
[0017] 3. The second slide rail is fixedly supported by the support block, which also serves to prevent the second slide rail from moving. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the following will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this utility model. Figure 1-5 The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0025] like Figure 1-5 As shown: This embodiment provides a device for freely adjusting the placement chamber of a film developing machine, including symmetrically arranged bases 101 at the bottom of the inlet of the placement chamber 100. The bases 101 are trapezoidal in shape, lower at the front and higher at the back. A pair of placement slots 102 are provided between the bases 101. The placement slots 102 are crescent-shaped and are used to place film. A guide plate inlet 103 is provided at the rear end of the placement chamber 100. The guide plate inlet 103 is used to feed the guide plate connected to the film into the developing channel. A groove 104 is provided at the bottom front end of each base 101. The groove 104 is used to install the slide rail 203 and the support block 204. The groove 104 is also used to allow the first slide rail 4 to be installed. 02. The device moves back and forth. Each placement slot 102 is movably connected by two identical primary slots 200. Each primary slot 200 is half of the placement slot 102. Each primary slot 200 is surrounded by a secondary slot 300 and a tertiary slot 304. A horizontal moving component 400 is slidably provided at the bottom of the primary slot 200. The horizontal moving component 400 is used to adjust the length of the placement slot 102, so that film of different lengths can be installed. A vertical moving component 301 is provided at the front of the horizontal moving component 400. The vertical moving component 301 is used to adjust the width of the placement slot 102, so that film of different widths can be installed.
[0026] In use, the horizontal electric push rod in the horizontal moving component 400 drives the first-level slot 200 to move, thereby adjusting the distance between the telescopic rods 201. This allows film rolls of different lengths to be placed in the split-design placement slot 102. The vertical electric push rod 303 in the vertical moving component 301 drives the connecting block 302 to move, thereby causing the first slide rail 402 to move back and forth. This allows the distance between the second-level slot 300 and the third-level slot 304 to be adjusted, allowing film rolls of different widths to be placed in the placement slot 102. This makes the placement chamber 100 adaptable to film rolls of different sizes, improving the practicality of the film processing machine.

Telescopic rods 201 are symmetrically arranged between the two primary slots 200 on the same side. The telescopic rods 201 are used to adjust the distance between the two primary slots 200, so that films of different lengths can be placed in the placement slot 102. The two ends of the telescopic rod 201 at the front are connected to the secondary slot 300 by bolts, and the two ends of the telescopic rod 201 at the rear are connected to the tertiary slot 304 by bolts.

The first slide rail 402 is used for the lateral movement of the front half of the primary slot 200, thereby enabling the secondary slot 300 to move laterally. It also includes a second slide rail 403 that slides in conjunction with the tertiary slot 304. The second slide rail 403 is used for the lateral movement of the rear half of the primary slot 200, thereby enabling the tertiary slot 304 to move laterally.

Each second slide rail 403 has a support block 204 at both ends of its bottom. The support block 204 is used to fix and support the second slide rail 403 and also to prevent the second slide rail 403 from moving. The slide rail 203 and the support block 204 are both fixedly disposed in the groove 104. The bottom of the slide rail 203 and the bottom of the groove 104 can be fixed by bolts.

Each connecting block 302 is provided with a longitudinal electric push rod 303 on the side away from the second slide rail 403. The telescopic end of the longitudinal electric push rod 303 is fixed to the connecting block 302 by bolts. The longitudinal electric push rod 303 is used to drive the connecting block 302 to move back and forth, thereby driving the first slide rail 402 to move back and forth, thereby adjusting the distance between the secondary slot 300 and the tertiary slot 304, and thus placing films of different widths in the placement slot 102. The driving ends of the longitudinal electric push rods 303 are all fixed to the inner wall of the placement chamber 100 by bolts.
[0037] Its effect is as follows: the connecting block 302 is used to connect the first slide rail 402 with the telescopic end of the longitudinal electric push rod 303.

This allows film rolls of different lengths to be placed in the split-design placement slot 102. The vertical electric push rod 303 in the vertical moving component 301 drives the connecting block 302 to move, thereby moving the first slide rail 402 back and forth. This allows the distance between the second-level slot 300 and the third-level slot 304 to be adjusted, allowing film rolls of different widths to be placed in the placement slot 102.
