Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an intelligent film developing machine, belonging to the technical field of photographic film developing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In today's era of digital photography, film photography remains a favorite among many photographers due to its unique artistic charm. However, traditional film developing equipment suffers from problems such as complex operation, high cost, and strict requirements on ambient temperature and chemical reaction time. Currently, the market is mainly dominated by Japanese and European / American brands of developing equipment, which are not only expensive but also have limitations in terms of flexibility and adaptability.

[0003] A conventional simple developing machine uses a chemical tank. Various chemicals are poured into the tank one by one, stirred, and the film is soaked. Then the liquid is poured out and replaced with the next chemical. Although this device saves on chemicals, it has the following drawbacks: temperature fluctuations in the chemicals during the flow process can cause a drop in temperature, which can affect the developing effect of the film. Furthermore, the interval between changing the chemicals can also affect the developing image, ultimately leading to unstable developing quality of the film.

[0004] Imported professional film processing machines use a hanging processing method. The advantage is that the film can be fed into the machine all at once, and then pulled and agitated in various deep chemical tanks. The advantages are high automation and high control precision. The disadvantages are high equipment cost and the large volume of chemicals required due to the deep tank structure. Processing a small number of films results in significant waste of chemicals. This equipment is only suitable for processing large quantities of film at once, which is why film processing companies currently have to wait for orders to be processed. They need to combine orders and process a sufficient amount of film at once to save costs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an intelligent film developing machine to overcome the shortcomings of existing expensive developing equipment, which is complicated to operate, lacks flexibility, and is only suitable for one-time developing of a large number of film rolls.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0007] An intelligent film developing machine includes a sealable housing, a robotic arm mechanism, multiple chemical tanks and cleaning tanks, a darkroom cassette, multiple chemical recovery devices, and a controller. The inner cavity of the housing is divided into a developing chamber and an equipment chamber arranged vertically by a partition. The housing has a chemical filling port corresponding to the developing chamber, and a cover that can be opened, closed, or sealed is hinged to the wall of the chemical filling port. The robotic arm mechanism is installed in the developing chamber. The multiple chemical tanks and cleaning tanks are arranged in the developing chamber along the running trajectory of the moving end of the robotic arm mechanism. The darkroom cassette is detachably assembled to the moving end of the robotic arm mechanism. The multiple chemical recovery devices are installed in the equipment chamber and are respectively connected to the multiple chemical tanks and cleaning tanks. The controller is electrically connected to the robotic arm mechanism and the chemical recovery devices.

[0008] Through the above technical solution, this utility model discloses an intelligent film developing machine. First, the film to be developed is stored in a darkroom. Then, depending on the type of film, appropriate amounts of different types of film developing solutions (mainly including developer, stop developer, and fixer) are added to multiple chemical tanks. Next, a controller controls the movement of the robotic arm mechanism, causing the darkroom to immerse itself in the different chemical tanks to develop the film. This intelligent film developing machine is rationally designed, simple and flexible to operate, highly compatible, and highly automated, enabling rapid film developing.

[0009] Furthermore, an intelligent film developing machine also includes a film driving unit, the moving end of the robotic arm mechanism having an assembly plate; the dark box is barrel-shaped and its open end is tightly engaged with the lower end of the assembly plate, and its bottom wall is provided with a liquid inlet hole; the assembly plate is provided with a transmission shaft assembly hole, the film driving unit is mounted on the assembly plate and its transmission shaft passes through the transmission shaft assembly hole and is connected to the film developing core rotatably positioned in the dark box, and the film driving unit is electrically connected to the controller.

[0012] Furthermore, an intelligent film developing machine also includes a connecting shaft, the upper end of which is detachably connected to the transmission shaft of the film driving unit; the lower end of which is connected to the center hole of the film developing core to drive the film on the film developing core to rotate circumferentially.

[0013] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the film developing core is connected to the transmission shaft of the film driving unit through the connecting shaft, and the operation of the film driving unit can make the film on the film developing core rotate and be washed in the chemical solution tank.

[0014] Furthermore, multiple medicine tanks and cleaning tanks are arranged circumferentially along the robotic arm mechanism; the medicine recovery equipment includes multiple medicine recovery tanks, connecting pipes, and solenoid valves installed on the connecting pipes. The lower ends of the multiple medicine tanks are respectively connected to the multiple medicine recovery tanks one by one through the connecting pipes, and the controller is electrically connected to the solenoid valves.

[0015] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the used film developing solution in multiple chemical tanks can be recycled by controlling the opening and closing of the solenoid valve through the controller.

[0019] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that, based on the fixed column, multiple swing arms can swing freely on the same horizontal plane while rising and falling on the fixed column, so that the dark box can be immersed in different medicine tanks and cleaning tanks.

[0020] Furthermore, the robotic arm mechanism also includes a lifting motor and a plurality of swing arm motors electrically connected to the controller. The lifting motor drives the swing arm at the head end to rise and fall, and the number of swing arm motors is the same as that of the swing arm and they correspond one-to-one to drive the swing arm to rotate on the same horizontal plane.

[0021] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the lifting motor and multiple swing arm motors can control the lifting of the first swing arm and the horizontal rotation and swing of other swing arms respectively, thereby immersing the dark box into different medicine tanks and cleaning tanks. The device has a higher degree of automation, precise control, and rapid movement.

[0022] Furthermore, the top and front of the housing corresponding to the rinsing chamber are both open, and the shape of the housing cover is adapted to the openness.

Furthermore, the film developing chemicals and wastewater in the chemical tanks 3 and cleaning tanks 4 can be recovered by multiple chemical recovery devices 6.

[0040] In some specific examples, an intelligent film developing machine also includes a film driving unit 7, and the moving end of the robotic arm mechanism 2 has an assembly plate 200; the cassette 5 is barrel-shaped and its open end is tightly engaged with the lower end of the assembly plate 200, and its bottom wall is provided with a liquid inlet hole 51; the assembly plate 200 is provided with a drive shaft assembly hole, the film driving unit 7 is mounted on the assembly plate 200 and its drive shaft passes through the drive shaft assembly hole and is connected to the film developing core 300 rotatably positioned in the cassette 5, and the film driving unit 7 is electrically connected to the controller.

[0041] Specifically, the film processing core can be fitted with general-purpose films such as 135 / 120, 8mm, and 16mm.

[0054] Warm water is added to the constant temperature water bath 9.
