Abstract

PURPOSE:To speedily insert or exchange a cassette type without fail and to improve operability by constituting a tape stock housing rack of one rack unit or by laminating plural rack units and fitting the rack unit so as to be freely attached and detached. CONSTITUTION:The movable tape stock housing rack 12 is composed of two tape stock housing rack units 21 to house 8 cassette tapes 11 at a maximum. An operator can exchange or insert the cassette tapes for the unit of 8 or 16 tapes by exchanging the tape stock housing rack unit 21, which houses the cassette 11 desired to be exchanged or inserted, with the unit in the movable tape stock housing rack 12. For the tape stock housing rack, the tape stock housing rack unit can be extremely easily carried around by having a handle 22. Thus, the cassette tape speedily is exchanged, inserted and ejected without fail and move operability is improved.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a video tape recorder (hereinafter referred to as a VTR) or an audio tape recorder in which a robot automatically supplies a stored tape cassette to a video tape recorder (hereinafter referred to as a VTR) or an audio tape recorder. This invention relates to a tape stock storage rack used in an automatic feeding device.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Automatic VTR tape feeders capable of storing a large number of tape cassettes are increasingly being used as automatic broadcasting of programs on broadcast stations and as automatic video service equipment in museums and libraries.

An example of a conventional movable tape stock storage rack used in a VTR cassette automatic exchange device will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 6 shows a conventional movable tape stock storage rack used in a VTR cassette automatic changer.

In FIG. 6, 1 is a tape stock storage rank, 2 is an automatic door for a movable tape stock storage rack, 3 is a guide rail, and 4 is a cassette tape.

The tape stock storage rack 1 has an opening on the entire surface and is constructed by stacking a plurality of single racks each having a space for storing a tape cassette. The above-mentioned movable tape stock storage rack is a device that allows cassette tapes to be replaced, inserted, and ejected even when the above-mentioned VTR automatic feeding device is in operation.By pressing the request button, the movable rack is opened as shown in Fig. 6. Walk forward 1 in front of the door,
The door opens and allows you to insert, replace, and remove cassette tapes.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the conventional device, when it is necessary to use a tape that is not stored in the tape storage stock rank 1, it is necessary to store the necessary tape in the rack by opening the door 2. . Therefore, when exchanging multiple cassette tapes during a program broadcast, etc., it is difficult to quickly and reliably respond to inserting, scraping, or exchanging multiple cassette tapes within a limited time, and it is difficult to replace them. The problem is that it is very inconvenient to move the cassette tape for storage or after replacement.

In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a tape stock storage rack that enables quick and reliable insertion or exchange of a plurality of cassette tapes, and has good operability for moving cassette tapes for replacement or after replacement. The purpose is to provide.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention provides a tape stock storage rack used in an automatic delivery device that automatically delivers a plurality of cassette tapes, the rack holding a plurality of tape cassettes and having an opening that allows attachment and detachment. unit, and the rack unit is one
It is constructed by stacking one or more rack units, and is characterized in that the rack units are detachably attached.

Further, the tape stock storage rack of the present invention is characterized in that it includes a handle that is stored in the rack unit.

Function: The tape stock storage rack of the present invention stores a plurality of cassette tapes in a rack unit in advance and presses a button.
By inserting each rack unit into the automatic tape feeding device, necessary tapes can be stored in the device.

In addition, the tape stock storage rack of the present invention, before insertion,
Or, replace the cassette tape with one of the rack units.
1 can be carried.

EMBODIMENTS A movable tape stock storage rack used in an automatic VTR tape feeder of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 show external views of an automatic VTR tape feeder to which the present invention is applied.

In the button in Figure 1 and Figure 2, 11 is a tape cassette;
12 is a tape stock storage rack, 13 is a VTR114
16 is a chuck, and 16 is an orthogonal robot. This is a device that grips a tape cassette 11 placed on a tape stock storage rack 12 with a chuck 14 and supplies it to a VTR 13 using an orthogonal robot 15 that moves the chuck 14. When the tape cassette 11 is supplied to and stored in a predetermined VTR, the tape in the cassette is played back and automatically broadcast.

2-6 illustrate the structure of a movable tape stock storage rack 12 in which the present invention is used. 2 to 6, 21 is a tape stock storage rack unit, 22 is a handle, 23 is a pace of the movable tape stock storage rack 12, 24 is a guide for the movable tape stock storage rack 12, and 26 is a drive A motor, 26 a sensor for confirming attachment/detachment of the tape stock storage rack unit 21, and 2 a tape stock storage rack unit guide roller.

In this embodiment, the movable tape stock storage rack is composed of two tape stock storage rack units 21 that can store up to eight cassette tapes.
The operator can replace or replace cassette tapes in units of 8 or 18 by replacing the unit in the movable tape stock storage rack 12 with the tape stock storage rack unit 21 that has previously stored the cassette to be inserted, or Can be inserted. The tape stock storage rank is equipped with a handle as shown at 22 in FIG. 6, and has a structure that allows the tape stock storage rack unit to be carried very easily.

Although the present embodiment has been described using a movable tape stock storage rack, a fixed tape stock storage rack may also be used. The tape stock storage rack unit can store eight cassettes, but any number of cassettes can be stored. Also, we do not care about the shape of the nozzle added to the tape stock storage rack unit.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, cassette tapes can be replaced, inserted, and removed quickly and reliably. The residue
The operability of moving the cassette tape before replacement or after removal is greatly improved, and its practical effects are great.
