Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a disk film positioning device for placing a disk film in which a plurality of images are arranged in an annular manner at each work station.

[Background Art] A disc film is a disc-shaped film attached around a hub, and a large number of images are formed in an annular shape on this film.

For example, such a disc film is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 1986-
No. 22799, and an example of a positioning device used for printing this disc film is shown in Patent Application Publication No. 55-500555.

In this conventional disc film positioning device, a moving table carrying a disc film rotates around a central axis.
The disk film is sequentially moved to multiple stations arranged around a central axis, and at each work station the disk film is rotated around a hub to input and output magnetic information, print work, etc. It is the composition.

However, in such a conventional device, it is necessary to manually load the disc film onto a moving stage that rotates around the hub. Further, in order to automatically supply the disc film to the moving table or to automatically take it out from the moving table, it is necessary to maintain the rotation stop position 1 of the moving table with high precision.

[Object of the Invention] Taking the above-mentioned facts into account, the present invention aims to provide a disc film positioning device that can automatically supply a disc film to a moving stage and take it out from the moving stage automatically, reliably and smoothly. .

[Summary of the Invention] In the disk film positioning device according to the present invention, a connecting means is provided between a support shaft rotatably supported on a moving table and a spindle provided at a station so that one fits into the other and coaxially connects the support shaft. This facilitates the transfer of the disk film, and the movable table is separated from the spindle by lifting means at station 2 to enable rotation about the center axis of the movable table.

[Embodiment of the Invention] Fig. 1.2 shows a disk film positioning device according to the present embodiment, in which four moving stages 10 are provided around a vertical central axis indicated by line A-A. rotates around line A-A and moves to each station in sequence.

In this embodiment, four stations are provided at equal intervals around the central axis A-A, and a film supply station 12 is provided.
, information processing station 14, print station 1
6. It consists of a film take-out station/18.

As a result, the plural disc films 20 stored in the film supply station 12 are sequentially loaded onto the moving table 10, moved to the information processing station 14 and print station 16, where necessary operations are performed, and then moved to the film take-out station 18. It is designed to be removed.

As shown in FIG. 3, the disk film 20 shown in this embodiment has a thin film disk 24 annularly fixed around a disk-shaped hub 22 which is a magnetic information recording section. A plurality of image frames 26 are arranged around the hub 22 at equal intervals. Further, a plurality of image frames 26 are provided on the outer periphery of the film disk 24.
Four rectangular positioning portions 28 are carved at equal intervals in between. Further, the hub 22 has a hub hole 30 formed in its axial center, and a keyway 32 is formed in a part of the inner circumference of the hub hole 30 to enlarge the inner diameter of the hub hole 30. This keyway 32 has an L shape when viewed from the axial direction of the hub hole 30.
The disc film 20 is shaped like a letter so that the front and back sides of the disc film 20 can be identified (see FIG. 7).

The mounting structure of the moving table 10 will be explained according to FIG. 4. A bracket 36 is erected on a base frame 34'' of the positioning device, and a vertical shaft 4o is pivotally supported on this bracket 36 via a bearing 38. The axis of this vertical shaft 40 is aligned with the central axis A--A, and a rotary plate 42 shown in FIG. 1 is fixed to the upper end of the vertical shaft 40 so as to rotate together with the vertical shaft 40.

There are four sets of brackets 44 around this rotating plate 42.
These brackets 44 and hair arms 46 are each pivotally supported by a horizontal pin 47 at an intermediate portion thereof. Each of these arms 46 is provided with a movable stage 10 at the end opposite to the vertical shaft 40.
A middle portion of a spring guide port 48 depending from the rotating plate 42 passes through the other end. A compression coil spring 49 is interposed between the lower end head of the spring guide bolt 48 and the arm 46. Therefore, the arm 46 is biased around the horizontal pin 47 in the direction in which the movable table 1O at the tip thereof descends, but the arm 46 comes into contact with the stop pin 50 hanging down from the one-rotation plate 42 and stops.

On the other hand, a pulley 51 is attached to the lower end of the vertical shaft 40. This pulley 51 is connected to a plurality of belts 52 . It is connected to a pulley 54 via an intermediate pulley 53, and this pulley 54 is connected to a motor 5 fixed to the base frame 34.
It is attached to the output shaft of 5. Therefore, the vertical shaft 40 is rotated by the driving force of the motor 55, and it is preferable that the motor 55 is a step motor so that each moving table 10 can be accurately placed at each station, and that the belt 52 is a timing belt.

The moving table lO attached to the tip of the arm 46 according to the fifth base will be explained. A circular hole 56 whose axis is perpendicular is bored near the tip of the arm 46, and a bearing 57
is inserted and is prevented from being pulled out by the holding plate 58.

An elastic body 59 shown in detail in FIG. 6 is interposed between the outer periphery of the bearing 57 and the circular hole 56. The elastic body 59 in this embodiment is formed by bending a plate spring into a zigzag shape and forming a ring shape with both ends connected, and is capable of absorbing radial displacement and vibration acting between the bearing 57 and the circular hole 56. There is. In addition, ring-shaped rubber, sponge, synthetic resin, etc. can also be used.

A support shaft 60 is supported through the bearing 57,
A stop ring 62 is fixed to the upper end of the support shaft 60 protruding above the bearing 57 with screws 64. This prevents the support shaft 60 from falling off the bearing 57.

The middle part of the support shaft 60 is an enlarged diameter part 60A, and the support shaft 60
passes through the bearing 57 so that it does not come out upwards. Further, the lower end portion of the support shaft 60 is an insertion portion 60B having a larger diameter than the enlarged diameter portion 60A. This insertion part 6
A key 66 having an L-shaped cross section perpendicular to the axis protrudes from the 0B, corresponding to the key groove 32 of the disk film 20 that is fitted onto the outer periphery of the key 66. The disk film 20 fitted onto the support shaft 60 by this key 66 is made unable to rotate relative to the support shaft 60.

A stop ring 68 is attached to the enlarged diameter portion 60A before the support shaft 60 is inserted into the bearing 57. That is, the stop ring 68 has a disk shape,
The enlarged diameter part 60A of the support shaft 60 passes through the center thereof, and the screw 70 screwed into the stop ring 68 in the radial direction fixes the stop ring 68 and the support shaft 60. It is designed to rotate together with 60.

This stop ring 68 corresponds to a lever 72 located below the arm 46 as shown in FIG. This lever 72 is pivotally supported at its intermediate portion by a pin 76 to a bracket 74 protruding from the bottom surface of the arm 46.
A compression coil spring 78 is interposed between one end and the arm 46. Due to the biasing force of the compression coil spring 78, the leno<-72 comes into contact with the stopper 79, and the protrusion 80 formed at the other end is formed at one location on the circumference of the stop ring 68, as shown in FIG. It has entered the division 82. As a result, the projection 80 stops the rotation of the support shaft 60 via the stop ring 68 in the normal state, but the lever 72 resists the biasing force of the compression coil spring 78 as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. When the support shaft 60 is rotated slightly clockwise, the protrusion 80 is pulled out of the recess 82, allowing the support shaft 60 to rotate.

As shown in FIG. 7, a semicircular release fork 83 projects from the tip of the lever 72 and is arranged around the stop ring 68. When the release fork 83-72 rotates further from the state indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 5, it has the role of pushing down the disc film 20 held on the support shaft 60 and releasing it.

The rotation of this lever 72 is controlled by the solenoid 8 shown in FIG.
1 plunger 81A presses the lever 72, and a solenoid 81 is provided at each station to rotate the lever 72 to the state indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 5, thereby enabling rotation of the support shaft 60. However, the solenoid 81 provided at the film take-out station 18 has a larger stroke than the solenoids at other stations, and is adapted to push down the desk film 20 from the moving stage 10 and take it out.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 8, the support shaft 60 has a small diameter hole 84 of a predetermined length drilled from its lower end, and a support small diameter shaft 86 is inserted into this small diameter hole 84 from its lower end. .

The upper end of this small-diameter support shaft 86 is fixed to the support shaft 60 by a screw 88, and a cone 90 whose diameter decreases downward is fixed to the lower end of the support shaft 60. . The maximum diameter of this conical body 90 is smaller than the hub hole 30 of the disc film 20 to enable a fitting and rising operation in which the disc film 20 passes through this conical body 90 and is fitted onto the support shaft 60. Furthermore, the cone 90
The tapered surface serves to facilitate positioning with other devices.

That is, this conical body 90 can be moved slightly in the horizontal direction together with the bearing 57 by an elastic body 59 disposed around the outer periphery of the bearing 57, and the conical body 90 is coaxially continuous with the bearing 57 as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. Other axis S to be
Even if there is a slight eccentricity e between the shaft S and the shaft S, if a tapered guide surface ST is formed on the joint surface of the shaft S, it is possible to follow the guide surface ST and coaxially connect the shaft S.

The lower part of the small diameter hole 84 is an enlarged diameter hole 92 with an increased inner diameter, and a compression coil spring 94 is inserted into the outer periphery of the support small diameter shaft 86 at the inner periphery of this enlarged diameter hole 92. Furthermore, a ring 96 is attached to the lower part of the compression coil spring 94 on the support small diameter shaft 86.
is inserted, and receives a biasing force in the direction of the cone body 90 due to the biasing force of the compression coil spring 94. The lower end of this ring 96 abuts on three poles 100, and these poles 100 are respectively inserted into three guide holes 98 bored in the support shaft 60 in the radial direction. These guide holes 98 have a reduced inner diameter at the end opposite to the small diameter support shaft 86, thereby preventing the pole 100 from moving outward, that is, in the direction of pulling out from the small diameter support shaft 86. The ring 96 comes into contact with the Bonyl lOO near the inside, so that it receives an outward moving force.

As shown in FIG. 9, these poles lOO partially protrude beyond the outer periphery of the support shaft 60, and when subjected to external force, push the ring 96 against the biasing force of the compression coil spring 94. It is possible to enter into the raising guide hole 9B and to enter inside the outer shape of the support shaft 60.

Therefore, the disc film 20 is passed through the cone 90 at −1
If you push L to one side, the hub 22 of the disc film 20
After temporarily pushing these poles lOO into the guide hole 98, they come into contact with the lower end of the stop ring 68 as shown in FIG. Protruding with biasing force /”i-button 2
2, the disc film 20 will not accidentally fall off from the support shaft 60. As a result, these poles 100 and compression coil springs 94 will not displace the disc film 20 when it is attached to the support shaft 60. It constitutes a holding means for maintaining the

Film supply station 1 as shown in Figure 1.2
2, a cylindrical film supply container 102 with a vertical axis;
is installed. As shown in FIG. 10, this film supply container 102 has a spindle 104 disposed at its axial center, and a plurality of disc films 20 are coaxially accommodated in this spindle 104 by fitting their hub holes 30. has been done.

Among these disc films 20, the uppermost disc film 20 is prevented from coming off upward by a stop claw 106 that projects inward from the upper end of the film supply container 102. Further, the outer periphery of these disc films 20 comes into contact with a stop pawl hanging portion 106A provided below the stop pawl 106 and protruding in the axial direction of the film supply container 102, preventing movement in the radial direction and preventing the spindle 104 from moving in the radial direction. Prevents misalignment.

However, when the conical body 90 of the moving platform 10 is coupled to the conical surface 104T formed at the upper end of the spindle 104, the lowermost disc film 20 is pushed upward and receives a lifting force F, so that the uppermost disc film 20, the outer circumferential portion of the film disk 24 is elastically deformed to form the stop claw 10.
In order to overcome 6, this top disc film 20
is fitted onto and held on the support shaft 60 of the moving table IO. In this way, the conical body 90 and the conical surface 104T form a connecting means for connecting the support shaft 60 and the spindle 104 to facilitate delivery of the disk film 20. In this case, the key 66 is also attached to the spindle 104.
is formed, so all the disk films 20 are delivered to the movable table IO at the same rotational position.

The film supply container 102 can be operated continuously by inserting a plurality of pre-developed disc films 20 and sequentially attaching them to the film supply station 12.

In this way, the moving table 10 is moved horizontally by the rotation of the arm 46 and placed at the film supply station 12, and the conical surface 10 formed at the upper end of the spindle 104 is moved horizontally.
4T and the cone 90 are aligned, and in order for the disk film 20 to rotate around the central axis A-A after the moving stage IO receives the disk film 20, the spindle 104 must be fixed to the container 102. Therefore, it is necessary for the moving stage 10 to move up and down almost vertically on the film supply station 12 to avoid interference between the cone 90 and the upper end of the spindle 104. For this purpose, an elevating plate 110 is provided on the base frame 34 as shown in FIG. It is pivoted. This roller 112 is pivotally supported by a support shaft 114 that protrudes from the intermediate portion of the arm 46 toward the movable table 10, and its outer periphery corresponds to the A descending plate 11O.

The elevation plate llo has a planar shape arranged in a semicircular shape with a constant radius around the central axis A-A. Further, both ends of this A-drop plate 110 have inclined surfaces 118, so that the roller 112 can be smoothly moved up and down when the rotary plate 42 is rotated.

The upper ends of a plurality of pins 116 are fixed to this A descending plate llO. These pins 116 are attached to the bracket 3
The solenoid 1 passes through the sleeve 115 and the bracket 36 erected to the solenoid 6 and is fixed to the bracket 36.
It is designed to move downward by 1 in response to the driving force of 17.

Therefore, the arm 46 is rotated around the horizontal pin 47 while the movable table 10 is stopped above the film supply station 12 and the film take-out station 18 by the upper part A of the elevating plate. As a result, mobile platform 1
0 cone 90 can be connected to the conical surface 104T of the spindle 104 without interfering with the upper end circumference of the spindle 104.

In order to avoid interference between the conical body 90 and the peripheral edge of one end of the spindle 104 in this way, if the container 102 to which the spindle 104 is fixed is to be raised or lowered instead of raising the movable platform 10, a structure becomes complicated.

The information processing station 14 shown in FIG. 1 is provided with a drive device M120, which moves up and connects with the support shaft 60 of the moving platform 1O, applying a driving force to the support shaft 6o to move the disk film 20 around the hub 22. It is designed to rotate.

As shown in FIG. 4, this drive device 120 has a swing bracket 124 that is pivotally supported by a horizontal pin 122 to the bracket 36. As shown in FIG. A motor support plate 128 is fixed to this swing bracket (124) via a connection plate 126, and a roller 132 is supported by a shaft 130 on this motor support plate 128. Bearing 1 is attached to this roller 132.
The full wheel axle 3 is pivotally supported to the base frame 34 via the
6 cam l 38! I'm touching it. This cam 138 is driven by the driving force of a motor 139 connected to the shaft 136 to swing the swing bracket via the motor support plate 128 and the connection plate 126.
24 is oscillated and rotated around the horizontal pin 122 from a tilted state shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 4 to a horizontal state shown by a solid line.

The swing bracket 124 has the swing bracket 12
A drive shaft 140 whose axis is vertical in the horizontal state of FIG. 4 is supported by a bearing 142. As shown in FIG. 5, the upper end of this drive shaft 140 is provided with a conical surface 140T, which matches the conical body 90 of the small diameter support shaft 86 when the swing bracket 124 is in a horizontal state. Further, the drive shaft 140 has a plurality of four portions 146 carved in the radial direction around the conical surface 140T, as shown in FIG. These four parts 146 are the swing bracket 1
24 in the horizontal state to connect the drive shaft 140 to the support shaft 60] 1, and the support shaft 6
The three poles 100 inserted into the guide hole 98 of 0 and protruding from the outer periphery of the support shaft 60 serve as relief grooves to prevent external force from being applied to the three poles 100. Therefore, when the drive shaft 140 rotates with the swing bracket 124 in a horizontal state, the support shaft 60 and the disk film 20 are rotated.

A gear 148 is fixed to the lower end of the drive shaft 140, and this gear 148 meshes with a gear 150 fixed to the shaft 149. The upper end of this shaft 149 is supported by a swing bracket 124 via a bearing 152, and a large gear 154 is fixed to the middle part. This large gear 154 meshes with a small gear 156, and this small gear 156 is connected to an output shaft 160 of a motor 158 fixed to a motor support plate 128.
is connected to. This allows the motor 158 to transmit its rotational force to the drive shaft 140 via the small gear 156, the large gear 154, the gear 150, and the gear 148.

Further, a disk 162 is fixed to the lower end of the shaft 149 so as to rotate together with the shaft 149. A portion of this disk 162 is inserted into a slit 164A of a detection switch 164 attached to the motor support plate 12B. This causes the detection switch 164 to detect the disk 1.
The rotational position of the drive shaft 140 is detected by detecting a notch formed in the notch 62, a magnetic signal, etc., and as a result, a control means (not shown) controls the motor 158 to continuously move the disk film 20 to a desired position. , or rotate intermittently.

As shown in FIG. 5, the swing bracket) 124 has
When the swing bracket 124 is in a horizontal state, this notch groove 16
7, the information input/output arm 168 can contact the hub 22 of the disc film 20. This information input/output arm 168 inputs signals from an information input/output device (not shown), such as the number of prints, image print I, correction amount of conditions, etc., to the hub 22 as a magnetic Buddhist symbol, or
It is now possible to read the G11 signal recorded on.

A notch groove 167 is formed at the tip of the swing bracket 124, and the image frame 26 corresponds to this notch groove.
A light source and a light-sensitive strip are arranged facing each other (both are not shown), and the transmission image density information of the image frame 26 is sequentially captured by the light-sensitive strip, and the calculated printing condition correction etc. are input to the hub 22. or sent to print station 16.

The number of prints of each image frame 26, supplementary printing conditions, etc., which have been input in advance to the hub 22 of the disk film 20, can be read out and sent to the next print station 16.

Note that the solenoid 81 for rotating the lever 72 of the moving table 10 is attached to the swing bracket 124, and the support shaft 60 of the moving table 10 is connected to the drive shaft 140.
The IE connected to the shaft IE rotates the reno <-72, thereby making it possible to rotate the support shaft 60.

Next, the print station 16 will be described. The print station 16 is provided with a film insertion frame 170, in which a disk film 20 held on a moving table 10 is inserted into a horizontal sling 172 provided in a part. The film disc 24 is horizontally moved and inserted.

A driving device 120 similar to that of the information processing station 14 is arranged in this print station 16 as well, and a movable table 10 moved to the print stage 16 is provided.
The disc film 20 can be rotated by one desired angle by connecting with the disc film 20. The drive device t20 of the print station 16 is configured to obtain driving force from a shaft 136A having a bevel gear 173B that meshes with a bevel gear 173A fixed to the shaft 136 of a motor 139.

Further, an aperture 174 is formed in the film insertion frame 170 in correspondence with the image frame 26 of the inserted film disk 24, and a light emitting means (not shown) is provided below the aperture 174. The light emitted from this light emitting means is emitted from the image frame 26 of the film disc 24.
The image plane 17B is imaged onto the printing paper 176 at the negative side by lenses (not shown), which are arranged as necessary, and the image is printed. This print paper 17
Both ends of the paper 6 are wound onto a supply reel and a take-up reel, and the paper is sequentially fed out in accordance with printing.

At the film unloading station 18, a film unloading container 180 is disposed coaxially with the lower part of the moving table 10. This film take-out container 180 is provided with a spindle 104 in the same way as the film supply station 12 shown in FIG. is received from the movable table 10 by rotating the lever 72.

As is clear from FIG. 2, this film take-out container 180 has a hexagonal prism shape when viewed from the axial direction, and the disc films 20 are sequentially inserted from an opening at the upper end facing the moving table 10. An end play 181 is inserted into the spindle 104 and is slidable in the axial direction. This end play 1-181 is designed to have a predetermined frictional resistance between it and the spindle 104 when sliding.
The configuration is such that when the numbers are inserted one after another, the numbers are gradually lowered.

A pair of guide brackets 182 and 184 are arranged at the top of this film take-out container 180. These guide brackets 182, 184 are extension brackets 1
85 to the bracket 36, and semicircular openings 188, 190 are formed on the opposing surfaces for communicating the two end openings of the film take-out container 180 with the moving stage 10. The circular holes formed by the pair of semicircular openings 188 and 190 are slightly larger than the outer diameter of the end plate 181, and the outer diameter of the end plate 181 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the end plate 181.
In the double layer position, the end plate 181
It is arranged to be inserted into the circular opening holes 188 and 190. Note that the guide bracket 182 can rotate relative to the extension bracket 185 around the bin 183, making it easy to attach and detach the film removal container 180.

Here, the film take-out container 180 is different from the film supply container 102 of the film supply station 12;
Since the disc film 20 must be sequentially dropped from the spindle 104 by its own weight after being overturned in the next process, a stop claw and a hanging part like the film supply container 102 are not provided at the upper end. However, instead of this, multiple guide brackets (182, 184) (
In this embodiment, three stop pawls 186 are attached. As is clear from FIG. 4, these stop pawls 186 have holding arms 192 extending from their tips parallel to the spindle 104.

This holding arm 192 is preferably made of an elastic body such as a leaf spring, and its intermediate portion is formed with unevenness corresponding to the pitch of the disc film 20 superimposed on the spindle 104.

The holding arms 192 of these stop claws 186 have an inscribed envelope circle that is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the disc film 20, so that they can exert a resistance force when the disc film 20 passes through the film removal container 180. Even when the end plate 1-181 descends due to the insertion of a large number of films into the disc film 20, the outer periphery of the disc film 20 is held to prevent the spindle 104 from being misaligned.

Furthermore, these stop claws 186 fit into the notches 19 formed on the outer periphery of the end play 1/181, as shown in FIG.
4, so as not to impede the downward movement of the end plate 181.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

A film supply container 102 containing a large number of disk films 20 which have been previously developed is set at the film supply station 12. Stomach play l-1
1 and 0 are in the lowered position, and the conical body 90 of the movable table 10 is vertically lowered and connected to one end of the spindle 104 as shown in FIG. 1θ. At the same time, the disc film 20 in the film supply container 102 is lifted by a pushing force F by a lifting device (not shown), and the uppermost disc film 20 is fitted onto the outer periphery of the support shaft 60, and the ball 100 It is held on the support shaft 60.

The support shaft 60 is deformed by the spindle 104 due to the deformation of the bony body 59.
Since it is coaxially connected to disk film 2,
0 is smoothly raised, and the key 66 of the spindle 104 can transfer the disk film 20 to the support shaft 60 at the same rotational position.

Next, the lift plate 110 is raised and the arm 46 on the film supply station 12 is raised vertically, and the cone 9
0 is spaced from the upper end of spindle 104. Mobile platform 1
When 0 is up A, the rotating plate 42 is rotated by the driving force of the motor 55.
is rotated, and the moving table 10 on the film supply station 12 is moved to the information processing station 14.

When the moving platform 10 reaches the information processing station 14, the motor 139 rotates the cam 138 as shown in FIG. The upper end portion is connected to a support shaft 60.

At the same time, the lever 72 is slightly rotated by the driving force of the solenoid 81, and the support shaft 60 becomes rotatable. When the motor 158 rotates, the drive shaft 140 receives its rotational force, so the disc film 20 rotates together with the drive shaft 140, and the information input/output arm 168
4, or input information thereto.

When the work at the information processing station 14 is completed, the disk film 20 is returned to its initial rotational position, and then the lever 72 is returned to the solid line position in FIG. 5 by demagnetization of the solenoid 81, and the support shaft 60 is fixed. The swing bracket 124 is lowered, and the rotating plate 42 is rotated and moved to the print station 16.
6, the disk film 20 is moved horizontally by the print station 16.
It is inserted into 2.

At the print station 16, the disk film 20 is sequentially rotated by the upward movement and rotation of the drive device 120 so that each image frame 26 sequentially aligns with the aperture 174.
An image plane 178 is imaged onto print paper 1761. Since the number of prints to be printed at the print station 16, correction of print conditions, etc. have already been transmitted from the information processing station 14, the print work can be performed quickly. Further, signals such as the amount of correction of print conditions may be read from the hub 22 at the print station 16 without receiving them from the information processing station 14.

Even when working on the disk film 20 at the information processing station 14 and print station 16, the support shaft 60 of the moving table 10 is provided via the elastic body 59, so vibrations from other parts are appropriately absorbed. , can perform accurate work.

When the disk film 20 finishes printing all the image frames 26, the work at the print station 16 ends, the disk film 20 is returned to the initial rotation position and fixed, and the movable table 10 is moved again to the bracket 44.
The rotation of the film sends the film to the film unloading station 18.

Before the moving table 10 is moved onto the film unloading station 18, the elevating play 110 is performed in advance, so that the cone 90 of the moving table 10 moved to the film unloading station 18 is attached to the spindle of the film unloading container 180. The vehicle will move away from the vehicle and stop. The platform is now lowered and the cone 90 connects with the upper end of the spindle.

Next, the solenoid 81 is driven to rotate the release fork 83 around the pin 76, and the release fork 83 pushes out the disc film 20 from the support shaft 60 and lowers the end plate 18 inside the film take-out container 180.
1 to be accommodated.

Disc film 20 at film unloading station 18
When the unloading plate 11O is taken out, the transfer plate 11O is moved to the L position again, and the moving table 1O is pushed by the lifting plate 11O and separated from the spindle in the container 180, and then moved to the film supply station by the rotation of the rotating plate 42. Return to 12. At the film supply station 12, the A play 1
- 110 lowers the cone 90 onto the spindle 104.
After the disc film 20 is connected to the upper end of the film supply container 102, the operation of taking out the disc film 20 from the film supply container 102 is started.

Thereafter, the above operation is repeated several times, and the disc film 20 is taken out from the film supply station 12.
Film removal station 18 after printing process
It is taken out. At the film unloading station 18, by inserting a plurality of films into the spindle 104, the end plate 181 reaches below the guide brackets 182 and 184. Since it is in contact with the holding arm 192, the first end of the spindle 104 will not shift in the radial direction even after the moving stage IO is separated from the spindle 104, and the next disk film insertion operation can be performed smoothly.

The film take-out container 180 filled with the disc film 20 and the film supply container 102 from which all the disc films 20 have been taken out are replaced with spare containers, and the work is continued.

In the second embodiment, the elevating plate 110 is shown as the elevating means, but in the present invention, any configuration is sufficient as long as the movable platform IO can be moved up and down on the station, and its driving force is not limited to that using a solenoid.

In the above embodiment, the pole 100 and the compression coil spring 94 are used as means for holding the disk film 20, but the holding means of the present invention may be any holding means that can reliably hold the disk film 20 on the support shaft 60. All cases are applicable. Further, the driving device 120 shows a structure in which the swing bracket 124 rotates around the horizontal pin 122 and thereby connects to the support shaft 60.

The structure may be such that the drive shaft 140 moves vertically up and down,
Further, the drive shaft 140 is not limited to the support shaft 60, and may be connected to the support small diameter shaft 86. Furthermore, drive unit 1
20 is not limited to a structure in which the supporting shaft 60 and the supporting small diameter shaft 86 are coaxially connected, but the outer circumferential surface of the supporting shaft 60 or the supporting small diameter shaft 86 and the outer circumferential surface of the drive shaft 140 are connected to each other, such as a pair of external gears. The structure may be such that the driving force is transmitted through connection.

In addition, the solenoid 81 is used to rotate the lever 72, but the lever 72 is
may be rotated.

Further, although the above embodiment shows an example in which the present invention is applied to a positioning device for printing a disc film, the present invention is not limited to a printing device, and can be applied to input/output of information recorded on a hub. A device for projecting an image on a film disk and examining it (viewer), an image sensor such as an image pickup tube is placed in place of the paper 176, and the image is transferred to a magnetic recording medium, optical disk, etc. It is widely applicable to recording devices, etc.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained below, in the disk film positioning device according to the present invention, a connecting means is provided between the support shaft rotatably supported on the movable base and the spindle of the station, and the movable base is connected to the station. Since the disk film is separated from the spindle by the lifting means, it has an excellent effect that the disk film can be automatically and smoothly supplied to the moving table and taken out from the moving table.
