The recording processing system passes through first modulating system and carries out the parts of modulation (EFM modulation and ACIRC coding) and carry out the parts of modulation (RLL (1-7) PP modulation and RS-LDC encode) by second modulating system when writing down compact disc when being included in record first generation MD.
The reproduction processes system is included in to be reproduced first generation MD and carries out the parts of decoding (EFM separate be in harmonious proportion ACIRC decoding) of first modulating system and the decoding of carrying out second modulating system when reproducing compact disc when (with the U-TOC of compact disc) (based on using partial response PR (1, RLL (1-7) demodulation of Data Detection 2,1), Veterbi decoding and RS-LDC decoding) parts.
Flow to RF amplifier 22 by optical head 20 from the information of coiling 90 the resulting reflected light of laser beam spoke and being detected (photocurrent that obtains by the detection laser reflected light by photoelectric detector).
22 pairs in RF amplifier is input to wherein detection information and executing current/voltage conversion, amplification, matrix computations etc.RF amplifier 22 extracts and reproduces the RF signal as information reproduction, tracking error signal TE, focus error signal FE, groove information (as the ADIP information of the record of the track wobble on dish 90) etc.
When reproducing first generation MD, handle by EFM demodulating unit 25 and ACIRC demoder 26 by the reproduction RF signal that the RF amplifier is obtained.
Specifically, the RF signal binary of reproduction changes into the EFM train of signal, carries out the EFM demodulation by EFM demodulating unit 25 then.The RF signal that reproduces further carries out error correction by ACIRC demoder 26 and deinterleave (deinterleave) is handled.Therefore, on this time point, the RF conversion of signals of reproduction is the ATRAC packed data.
In addition, when reproducing first generation MD, selector switch 27 is selected the B contact surface side, and the ATRAC packed data of demodulation is exported as reproducing data from coiling 90.That is, the data of compression from storage unit 2 outputs, flow to the cache memory 3 in accompanying drawing 1 by data buffer 33 then.
On the other hand, when reproducing compact disc, handle by RLL (1-7) PP demodulating unit 23 and RS-LDC demoder 24 by the reproduction RF signal that RF amplifier 22 obtains.
Specifically, RLL (1-7) PP demodulating unit 23 passes through to use the Data Detection of PR (1,2,1) and Veterbi decoding from reproducing the reproduction data of RF signal acquisition as RLL (1-7) code string.RLL (1-7) PP 23 couples of RLL of demodulating unit (1-7) code string is carried out RLL (1-7) demodulation then.In addition, carry out error correction and deinterleave processing by 24 couples of results of RS-LDC demoder.
In addition, when reproducing compact disc, selector switch 27 is selected the A contact surface side, and demodulated data is exported from coiling 90 as reproducing data.That is, demodulating data is exported from storage unit 2, flowed to the cache memory 3 in accompanying drawing 1 then by data buffer 33.

The ADIP address of being extracted of information as the specific address on dish flows to memory controller (CPU) 31.Memory controller 32 is carried out desired control based on the ADIP address and is handled.
Groove information flows to servo circuit 28 to carry out main axle servo control.
In addition, based on spindle error signals, tracking error signal and the focus error signal of carrying from RF amplifier 22 as indicated above or from the track skip instruction of memory controller 32, access instruction etc., servo circuit 28 forms various servo-control signals (tracking control signal, focus control signal, thread control signal, spindle control signal etc.).Servo circuit 28 is exported to motor driver 29 with formed servo-control signal.That is, servo circuit 28 responds servo error signals and instruction is carried out required processing such as phase compensation processing, gain process and desired value setting processing etc., forms various servo-control signals then.
Use this servo drive signal, carry out the CLV that is used to coil 90 focus control and tracking Control and be used for Spindle Motor 30 and control.
In the recording operation on dish 90, carry data for data buffer 33 from cache memory 3.
When recording first generation MD, selector switch 17 is connected to the B surface of contact, so ACIRC scrambler 15 and EFM modulating unit 16 work.
In this case, staggered and provide from the packed data of the audio treatment unit that does not illustrate by ACIRC scrambler 15 and error correction code, carry out the EFM modulation by EFM modulating unit 16 then.
Then, the EFM modulating data flows to head driver 18 by selector switch 17, and magnetic head 19 imposes on dish 90 based on the EFM modulating data with magnetic field, carries out data recording thus.
When recording compact disc, selector switch 17 is connected to the A surface of contact, so RS-LDC scrambler 13 and RLL (1-7) PP modulating unit 14 work.
In this case, staggered and provide with the error correction code of RS-LDC system from the high density data of cache memory 3 by RS-LDC scrambler 13, after this carry out RLL (1-7) and modulate by RLL (1-7) PP modulating unit 14.
Then, flow to head driver 18 as the record data of RLL (1-7) code string by selector switch 17, magnetic head 19 imposes on dish 90 based on modulating data with magnetic field, carries out data recording thus.
As indicated above laser driver/APC 21 makes laser diode carry out the laser beam firing operation when reproducing and when record, and also carries out so-called APC (automatic laser power control) operation.
Particularly, though do not illustrate, the detecting device of monitoring laser power is provided in the optical head 20.Monitor signal feeds back to laser driver/APC 21.The laser power of more current current laser power that obtains as monitor signal of laser driver/APC 21 and setting also makes the error between the laser power of current laser power and setting be reflected in laser-driven signal.As a result, laser driver/APC 21 implement control so that the laser power stability of from laser diode, exporting on setting value.
Point out that in passing for laser power, memory controller 32 is arranged on the value of setting reproduction laser power and recording laser power in the interior register of laser driver/APC21.

Point out in passing,, also can construct the example that system controller 8 wherein directly is controlled at the parts in the storage unit 2 though memory controller 32 is provided in the storage unit 2 in this structure example.
Tray salver detects the hole
Detection hole on the tray salver 91 that is provided at above-mentioned various types of dishes is described now.Accompanying drawing 4 to 7B is depicted as the lower surface and the side surface of the tray salver of various types of dishes.
Under the situation of the dish of the classification of the MD shown in the accompanying drawing 4 to 7B, dish 90 is contained in the inclined to one side square position box 91 and can rotates in tray salver 91.Tray salver 91 has sliding-type baffle plate 92.As shown in each accompanying drawing, coil 90 the insides and expose by opening baffle plate 92.Point out that in passing baffle plate 92 is closed usually with protective disc 90.When dish was encased in the disc driving equipment, baffle plate 92 was by the mechanism's sliding opening in panel.
Accompanying drawing 4 is depicted as and only reproduces MD.Under the situation of only reproducing MD, detect on the lower surface that hole H0 is formed on tray salver 91 on the precalculated position shown in the accompanying drawing 4.
Whether the position of detecting hole H0 is to be used to determine to write may.Detect (open mode that the detects hole H0) indication that exists of hole H0 and write impossible (write invalidate).
Under the situation of only reproducing MD, because it is invalid to write nature, therefore only form as the single hole that detects hole H0, the mechanism that opens and closes the hole is not provided.Therefore, on the side surface of tray salver 91 etc., do not provide the slide plate that opens and closes the hole.
Accompanying drawing 6A and 6B are depicted as record and reproduce the tray salver 91 of MD and high density MD type A.
In this case, provide detection hole H0 and H1.Whether as only reproducing among the MD, detecting hole H0 provides to write with setting and may.In this case, provide slide plate 93.Detection hole H0 is in the closed condition shown in the accompanying drawing 6A with in the open mode shown in the accompanying drawing 6B according to the position of slide plate 93.That is, the user can be as detecting hole H0 opening or closing as shown in accompanying drawing 6A or the 6B by slide plate 93, set thus with imitate/invalid.
The open mode that detects hole H0 means to be write impossiblely, and the closed condition that detects hole H0 means and writes possibility.Since detect the open mode indication of hole H0 write impossible, therefore detect hole H0 have with the situation of only reproducing MD under identical meaning.
The reflectivity of the second detection hole H1 display disc 90 in accompanying drawing 6A and 6B.Record and reproduction MD and high density MD type A are magneto-optic disks, therefore are different from and only reproduce MD, and only reproducing MD is to have the CD that forms the pit of impression thereon.Magneto-optic disk is compared with CD has lower reflectivity.For example, though CD has about 70% reflectivity, magneto-optic disk has about reflectivity of 15 to 30%.Therefore, disc driving equipment (storage unit 2) need be that CD or magneto-optic disk change internal signal and handle and be provided with (for example RF gain etc.) according to this dish.Detect hole H1 and be used for determining this information.
Detect the existence of hole H1 and represent lower reflectivity.Certainly, in this case, detect hole H1 and can not open or close by slide plate 93.That is, form fixing hole as detecting hole H1.
Under the situation of only reproducing MD, on the other hand, that detects hole H1 does not exist the expression high reflectance.
Shown in accompanying drawing 4 and accompanying drawing 6A and 6B, in first generation MD and high density MD type A, detect the existence of hole H0 or do not exist and the position is set to indicate whether to write and to detect position and the existence of hole H1 or do not exist and is set to the indication reflectivity.
On the other hand, in high density MD Type C and type B (with only reproducing high density MD) according to present embodiment, detect hole H0 and all be in open mode in all, whether detection hole H1 is used for setting writing may.
Accompanying drawing 7A and 7B are depicted as the tray salver 91 of high density MD type B/Type C.Shown in accompanying drawing 7A and 7B, provide and detect hole H0 and H1.Point out that in passing when detection hole H1 was slotted hole, this only was an example, as hereinafter describing, this hole can be circular, shown in accompanying drawing 6A and 6B.
Detect hole H1 and can change to closed condition and the open mode in accompanying drawing 7B in accompanying drawing 7A by slide plate 93.
Under the situation of high density MD type B/Type C, detect hole H1 and write possibility in the indication of the closed condition shown in the accompanying drawing 7A, and detect the open mode of hole H1 in accompanying drawing 7B indicate write impossible.
On the other hand, detect that hole H0 keeps open mode and with the location independent of slide plate 93.
Accompanying drawing 5 is depicted as in high density MD type B the tray salver that only reproduces high density MD 91 as the pit dish of impression.In this case, detecting hole H0 and H1 always forms as the fixed orifice of open mode.Under the situation of the high density MD type B/Type C in accompanying drawing 7A and 7B, fixing detection hole H0 is in open mode in all.
In accompanying drawing 5 only reproduce high density MD have as fixed orifice only reproduce high density MD be not the dish that can write because only reproduce high density MD.That is, the open mode of the detection hole H1 in accompanying drawing 7A and 7B indication write impossible.Under the situation of only reproducing high density MD of accompanying drawing, fixing detection hole H1 forms " open mode " and writes impossible (write invalidate) with indication.
Comparative drawings figs 4 and accompanying drawing 5, both shown in accompanying drawing 4 only reproduce detection hole H0 among the MD have (open mode) indication " write can not (write invalidate) ", and have (open mode) indication " write can not (write invalidate) " what only reproducing of accompanying drawing 5 detected hole H1 among the high density MD.
Therefore fixing detection hole H0 is formed on the high density MD type B/Type C of accompanying drawing 7A and 7B and only reproducing among the high density MD of accompanying drawing 5.Hole H0 provides the disc driving equipment that makes the routine of only supporting first generation MD (conventional model) to recognize high density MD type B/Type C and only reproduce high density MD and can not write.Conventional model is recognized in the locational open mode that detects hole H0 as indication " it is impossible to write "
Be fixed on open mode owing to detect hole H0, therefore the detection hole H0 in high density MD type B/Type C can not be used to write the possibility setting.Therefore, detect hole H1 and be used to write the possibility setting.
Only reproducing the situation of MD, record and reproduction MD and high density MD type A and in high density MD type B/Type C with only reproduce between the situation of high density MD not simultaneously, can not determine whether can write based on the state that detects the hole simply in the meaning that detects hole H0 and H1 according to the disc driving equipment of the present embodiment that data can be write high density MD type B/Type C.Therefore, as hereinafter describing in detail, the disc driving equipment (storage unit 2) that is encased in this example wherein at various types of MD detects disc-type, determines to detect the meaning of hole H0 and H1 then according to the type.
Point out in passing, also identical situation can take place at high density MD type B/Type C model of routine when only reproducing high density MD and be encased in wherein.Yet the executive logging operation on the dish of these types of conventional model is undesirable.Therefore, the detection hole H0 in the dish of these types is in open mode to address this problem in all.Therefore, Chang Gui Model Identification is somebody's turn to do " it is impossible to write ".
Because following reason is not wished the executive logging operation on the dish of these types of conventional model.
Conventional model can not mainly be because reasons such as data layout, physical characteristicss in the dish executive logging operation of these types inherently.Therefore, once in a while during the dish executive logging in these types, operating mistake, data corruption etc. may take place at the model of routine.Certainly some operating mistake may make troubles to the user.
In addition, the dish of these types adopted encrypt and verification method with the copyright of protected data.Conventional model can not be supported these methods.
Owing to these reasons, the conventional model of requirement is determined high density MD type B/Type C and is only reproduced high density MD and " can not write down " simply.
Hereinafter with reference accompanying drawing 8A to 11D describes the structure that detects hole H0 and H1 according to present embodiment in dish in detail.In this case, according to the dish of present embodiment corresponding to high density MD type B/Type C.
Accompanying drawing 8A, 8B, 8C, 8D and 8E are according to the backplan of the dish of this example, plan view, rear view, left side view and right side view.7A and 7B describe with reference to the accompanying drawings as mentioned, detect on the precalculated position on the lower surface side that hole H0 and H1 be formed on tray salver, shown in accompanying drawing 8A.
Shown in accompanying drawing 8E, slide plate 93 is formed on the side of tray salver.By operation slide plate 93, can only open and close and detect hole H1.
Accompanying drawing 9A, 9B, 9C and 9D are depicted as the side of tray salver and the A-A cross section in accompanying drawing 8A.Accompanying drawing 9A and 9B are depicted as the closed condition that detects hole H1.Accompanying drawing 9C and 9D are depicted as the open mode that detects hole H1.
Accompanying drawing 10A is depicted as when detecting hole H1 and be in closed condition from the detection hole H0 of the lower surface side of tray salver 91 and the guide wire of alternative shape of H1.Accompanying drawing 10B is depicted as B-B sectional view at this moment.
Accompanying drawing 10C is depicted as when detecting hole H1 and be in open mode from the detection hole H0 of the lower surface side of tray salver 91 and the guide wire of alternative shape of H1.Accompanying drawing 10D and 10E are depicted as D-D and C-C sectional view at this moment.
Be appreciated that from these accompanying drawings slide plate 93 comprises: recessed recess 93a on the thickness direction at tray salver on respect to the position of detecting hole H0; The convex extension part 93b that protrudes out on the thickness direction at tray salver on corresponding to the position of detecting hole H1; Keeping the slide position is the junction surface 93c of open mode and closed condition; With the operation projection 93d that carries out slide by the user.
From accompanying drawing 10A, 10B, 10C and 10E, be appreciated that, be recessed into the degree of direction of the thickness in the zone wideer at locational recess 93a than the hole dimension that detects hole H0 corresponding to the detection hole H0 in slide plate 93.
Therefore, be appreciated that from accompanying drawing 10A and 10C how detecting hole H0 regardless of the position of slide plate 93 does not close.Detect hole H0 and therefore in all, all be in open mode.
From accompanying drawing 10A, 10B, 10C and 10E, be appreciated that to have the size and dimension that is suitable for long detection hole H1 at locational convex extension part 93b corresponding to the detection hole H1 in slide plate 93.Shown in accompanying drawing 10A and 10C, convex extension part 93b is positioned at slotted hole, and irrelevant with sliding position.
Point out that in passing detecting hole H1 in this example is that convex extension part 93b is detecting in the H1 of hole slotted hole when slip so that allow.As detecting hole H1, the locational circular port at least that defines in the MD classification is enough.For example, it is just enough to form the hole on the position on the right side half of the long hole H1 of detection in accompanying drawing 10A.That is, detect hole H1 and need not be slotted hole.These situations hereinafter will be described as improvement.
State as the right side half of the slotted hole of closing by convex extension part 93b in accompanying drawing 10A is the closed condition that detects hole H1, and the state that is not positioned at the convex extension part 93b on the right side half of slotted hole as accompanying drawing 10C is the open mode that detects hole H1.
Shown in accompanying drawing 9B and 9D, the upper surface of the convex extension part 93b of slide plate 93 has formed the surface with the lower surface basic horizontal of tray salver 91.
Therefore, slide plate 93 forms all to keep in all and detects hole H0 detects hole H1 in open mode and opening and closing opening and closing mechanism.In addition, when detecting hole H1 and be in closed condition, the plane basic horizontal (plane with tray salver 91 on thickness direction has identical height substantially) of the plane by convex extension part 93b slide plate 93 (it will with the surface of detector switch (switch SW 1 in the accompanying drawing 3) contact of disc driving equipment) and tray salver 91.
Detection hole H0 is in the reason of open mode in all above describes.Detection hole H0 in first generation MD etc. whether be used for determining to write may, therefore detect hole H0 and be used to make conventional model understanding can not write according to the dish of this example.
The user can open and close and detect hole H1 to write the possibility setting.
Write possibility by utilization and set, be used at first detecting and eliminated the dish of giving according to this example at record and the detection hole H1 that reproduces the reflectivity of MD etc. and provide and be exclusively used in the new the 3rd needs that detect the hole of writing that possibility sets.
This means corresponding to the switch that detects the hole does not need to be increased in the compatible disc driving equipment.This equipment has the advantage that reduces size, thickness or cost.
When detecting hole H1 and be in closed condition, owing to following reason convex extension part 93b has formed plane with the plane basic horizontal of tray salver.
As indicated above, the position of detecting hole H0 and H1 is defined as identical with the position in various types of dishes respectively.In the disc driving equipment side, be formed in the detection hole determining unit 34 in the accompanying drawing 3 corresponding to the switch SW 0 that detects hole H0 with corresponding to the switch SW 1 that detects hole H1.Switch in the disc driving equipment of switch SW 0 and SW1 and conventional model is identical.
Accompanying drawing 11C is depicted as detection hole H0 and the state of H1 and the state of corresponding switch SW 0 and SW1 in record and reproduction MD (with high density MD type A), and accompanying drawing 11D is depicted as at the detection hole H0 and the state of H1 and the state of corresponding switch SW 1 and SW2 that only reproduce among the MD.
Record in accompanying drawing 11C and reproduction MD have the hole H0 of detection and H1.Detect hole H0 and on the thickness direction of tray salver, be approximately 3 millimeters deep.Detecting hole H0 opens and closes by slide plate 93.When detection hole H0 was in closed condition, the part of slide plate was apart from about 1 millimeters deep of lower surface (reference planes) by the 1. indicated tray salver 91 of dotted line.1 millimeter thickness corresponding to tray salver 91.Under the situation of record and reproduction MD, there is not convex extension part 93b as indicated above according to this example slide plate 93.Therefore, detecting hole H0 " closes " by slide plate on the position of 1 millimeters deep.
See that from reference planes the switch SW 0 that contacts with the part of slide plate is considered to connect on the position of 1 millimeters deep, therefore indication detection hole H0 is in closed condition.On the other hand, shown in this accompanying drawing, be considered to cut off with the discontiguous switch SW 0 of the part of slide plate on reference planes are seen position with 1 millimeters deep, therefore indication detects hole H0 and is in open mode.
The detection hole H1 of other of record and reproduction MD is for example apart from about 2 millimeters in the reference planes shown in this accompanying drawing.This is all to be in open mode because consider for only reproduce MD detection hole H1 in accompanying drawing 11D in all.
Shown in accompanying drawing 11D, only reproduce the detection hole H1 that MD does not form therein.As indicated above, record with reproduce MD in provide and detect hole H1 and only reproduce the different reflectivity of indication among the MD with never this detection hole H1.Therefore, switch SW 1 needs to judge whether the existence that detects hole H1 is closed condition.Therefore, the switch SW 1 (state of accompanying drawing 11D) that contacts with the lower surface (reference planes) of tray salver 91 is judged as connection, indicates this detection hole H1 to be in closed condition thus.On the other hand, as being judged as cut-out with switch SW 1 that reference planes do not contact as shown in the accompanying drawing 11, therefore indication detects hole H1 and is in open mode.
Therefore, switch SW 1 is designed to extend to connection/cut-out stroke less than the position of 2 millimeters deep (1 millimeters deep multiple spot) (detecting the strokes that open and close) scope from reference planes.
That is, be designed to make switch SW 0 and SW1 to have identical stroke, but when switch SW 0 and SW1 are in dissengaged positions, protrude out longer on the thickness direction of switch SW 0 at tray salver with the disc driving equipment of the routine of mini disk compatibility.
Consider following situation now: wherein use detection hole H1 to be used to write possibility and set, and as according in the dish of this example, opening and closing by slide plate 93.
Suppose slide plate 93 as record with reproduce that MD is the same to have a convex extension part 93b, for example when detecting hole H1 and be in closed condition, switch SW 1 contacts with locational slide plate apart from reference planes 1 millimeters deep.
Yet, the basic centre position of this state representation in the stroke range of the switch SW 1 of conventional model.Consider various foozles, when the dish according to this example is enclosed in the conventional model, determining that clearly in the connection/cut-out deterministic process be disadvantageous.
Corresponding to when being designed to have the stroke range that extends to from the position of distance reference planes 1 millimeters deep less than the position of 3 millimeters deep with switch SW 1 according to the detection hole in the compatible disc driving equipment in this example (for example storage unit in accompanying drawing 3 2) of the dish (high density MD type B/Type C) of this example, as switch SW 0, not disadvantageous in connection/cut-out deterministic process.Yet when only reproducing MD and be encased in in this example the disc driving equipment, switch SW 1 is pushed with respect to the lower surface (reference planes) of tray salver 91, does not detect hole H1 because only reproduce MD.In this case, switch SW 1 is pushed on the direction of the stroke range that surpasses design, and this may damage switch SW 1.
In order to prevent these, stroke need extend to cover reference planes and the distance reference plane scope less than the position of 3 millimeters deep.That is, with conventional model in the switch SW 1 of identical structure can use.
Therefore, in this example, slide plate 93 has convex extension part 93b, and when detection hole H1 was in closed condition, plane and the reference planes of convex extension part 93b are in basic horizontal, and were as indicated above.Specifically, accompanying drawing 11A and 11B are depicted as in open mode and closed condition according to the detection hole H1 in the dish of this example.When switch SW 1 contacted with the position of same reference planes (being convex extension part 93b) basic horizontal and therefore be in on-state, shown in accompanying drawing 11B, detection hole H1 was judged as and is in closed condition.Switch SW 1 with therefore do not contact with reference planes and when being in dissengaged positions, shown in accompanying drawing 11A, detect hole H1 and be judged as and be in open mode.
That is, be set at closed condition following advantage is provided by will detect hole H1 with convex extension part 93b with the reference planes basic horizontal.
At first, when slide plate 93 is closed detection hole H1, be used for having formed and the essentially identical plane of reference planes at the detection hole H1 of detection of reflected rates such as record and reproduction MD.When detecting hole H1 and open, detect hole H1 and be opened to such position: make switch SW 1 can detect full open position, can realize thus and the stroke that does not change switch SW 1 according to the switch SW 1 of the dish compatibility of this example by slide plate 93.That is, support disc driving equipment according to the dish of this example can use switch SW 0 and the SW1 with conventional model same structure.See that with regard to manufacturing cost and ease of design aspect this is favourable.
In addition, above-mentioned problem such as may damage can prevent during will only reproduce MD is encased in according to the disc driving equipment of this example according to the use in the disc driving equipment of this example of switch SW 0 identical and SW1 the time with conventional model.This is not exist switch SW 1 then to have the stroke of initial setting because hypothesis detects hole H1.
In addition, the stroke that does not need to change (lengthening) switch SW 1 is being favourable aspect size that reduces equipment and the thickness.
In above-mentioned example, detect hole H1 and be made into long so that the convex extension part 93b of slide plate 93 does not stop skateboarding.Yet, detect hole H1 and can make circle.The improvement of the opening and closing mechanism of this situation has been shown in accompanying drawing 12A and 12B and accompanying drawing 13A and 13B.At accompanying drawing 12A and 12B and accompanying drawing 13A and the 13B detection hole H1 shown in each in tray salver 91, providing circular port.
Accompanying drawing 12A and 12B are depicted as by slide plate 295 and the swivelling cover 296 formed examples that open and close mechanism.Slide plate 295 slides at the state shown in accompanying drawing 12A and the 12B by user's operation.
The shaft portion 296b of swivelling cover 296 is by bearing portions 297 pivotal support rotatably in tray salver 91.Bearing portions 298 pivotal support of another shaft portion 296c of swivelling cover by offering slide plate 295.
In the state of accompanying drawing 12A, be formed on overhang 296a on the swivelling cover 296 and be inserted into and detect among the H1 of hole, detect hole H1 by closing thus with the surface of the lower surface basic horizontal of tray salver 91.
Then, at slide plate 295 when the arrow a direction shown in accompanying drawing 12B is slided, push shaft part 296c, swivelling cover 296 is rotating on shaft portion 296b on the direction of arrow b thus, makes overhang 296a thus and detects hole H1 and separate to form open mode.
Accompanying drawing 13A and 13B are depicted as the example of the opening and closing mechanism that forms by slide plate 399 and lifting cover 398.Slide plate 399 slides at the state shown in accompanying drawing 13B and the 13B by user's operation.
The camshaft 398a of lifting cover 398 is assemblied among the cam path 399a that offers slide plate 399.
In the state of accompanying drawing 13A, be formed on circular overhang 398b on the lifting cover 398 and be inserted into and detect among the H1 of hole, detect hole H1 by closing thus with the surface of the lower surface basic horizontal of tray salver 91.
Then, when the arrow c direction shown in accompanying drawing 13B was slided, the camshaft 398a of lifting cover 398 slided in groove 399a at slide plate 299, and lifting cover 398 moves on the direction of arrow d thus.Overhang 398b is separated to form open mode with detection hole H1.
Use this opening and closing mechanism, for example, detecting hole H1 does not need to be slotted hole, but can for detect the same circle of hole H0.The circular advantage that detects hole H1 is to compare with slotted hole the area that dust etc. enters tray salver 91 and has reduced.
Determine disc-type
As indicated above, the detection hole H0 of tray salver 91 and the meaning of H1 are different and different according to the type of dish.Therefore, in dish 90 type that in this example disc driving equipment need be determined to coil when packing into to explain the state that detects hole H0 and H1.In addition, determine the type of dish yes necessity for record and reproduction processes.
Hereinafter describe the method (determining key element) of determining that disc-type is determined, description after this uses the type of the combination of various definite key elements to determine the instantiation of handling.
Accompanying drawing 14 is depicted as the relation between various definite key elements and the disc-type.
In this case, definite key element of classifying the reflected light information that use obtains by optical head 20 as be the dish reflectivity, the phase differential that causes by depth of groove, U-TOC content, P-TOC can, ADIP address structure and BCA (string cutting area).
Point out that in passing accompanying drawing 14 also shows as detection hole H0 that determines to write the key element that whether possible key element rather than disc-type determine and the state of H1, and show based on the state that detects hole H0 and H1 determine with imitate/invalid.This is because these are used for disc-type and determine in some cases.
As hereinafter describing in further detail, the part phase differential, U-TOC content, P-TOC content, ADIP address structure and the BCA that disc driving equipment in this example (storage unit 2) causes from the dish reflectivity, by depth of groove or the state-detection disc-type of detection hole H0 in addition and H1.Whether disc driving equipment also uses the opening/closing state and the determined disc-type that detect hole H0 and H1 to determine to write possible.
Disc-type has been shown in the lower part of accompanying drawing 14 has determined method (1) to (6), the combination of definite key element of using in single definite method is represented with ◎.Hereinafter describe single disc-type and determine the processing of method (1) to (6).
Definite key element of description dish reflectivity, the phase differential, U-TOC content, P-TOC content, ADIP address structure and the BCA that cause by depth of groove at first.
(dish reflectivity)
As indicated above, the reflectivity with CD of formation impression pit thereon approximately reaches 70%, and the reflectivity of the magneto-optic disk of execution magnetic field record approximately is low to moderate 15 to 30%.Therefore, as shown in Figure 14, only reproduce MD and only reproduce high density MD and have higher reflectivity (H), and record and reproduce MD and high density MD type A/ type B/Type C has lower reflectivity (L).That is,, can determine that this dish is only to reproduce MD or only reproduce high density MD or other types, promptly write down and reproduce a kind of in MD and the high density MD type A/ type B/Type C by determining reflectivity.
Reflectivity can be by as in the electric circuit inspection as shown in the accompanying drawing 15A.Accompanying drawing 15A is depicted as the photoelectric detector PD of optical receiving surface A, B, C and D with four separations.This photoelectric detector PD is arranged among a plurality of photoelectric detector PD in the optical head 20.
In accompanying drawing 15A totalizer 211,212 and 213 and comparer 214 for example be formed in the RF amplifier 22.
Consider now focus search, the object lens in this focus search optical head 20 in are forced towards dish 90 with leave to move with the execution focus servo on the direction of dish 90 and draw in.
Know that as everybody the focus error signal FE of astigmatism system for example is the signal (A+C)-(B+D) from the detecting device of four partitioned portions, for example shown in accompanying drawing 15A.This focus error signal FE has formed the S-deltoid around focus.Zero cross point in the linearity range of S-deltoid is a focus.Carry out focus servo control to be pulled into zero-point of crossing of S-deltoid as control.
Compare with the shift motion scope of object lens, the position range (towards and away from the position range of dish) that the object lens of S-deltoid wherein occur is very narrow.Therefore, for drawing in for the first time, force object lens to move the scope that obtains the S-deltoid to find to connect focus servo.This is a focus search.
In this case, above-mentioned have in focus with signal draw in the amplitude shown in accompanying drawing 15B in the scope.The focus error signal FE of scope that occurs the S-deltoid by the FOK signal indication in accompanying drawing 15C that this amplitude and predetermined reference value th are relatively obtained in this accompanying drawing, not illustrating.
Because the reflection light quantity that obtains by photoelectric detector PD is in the situation of the dish with high reflectance and have between the situation of dish of lower reflectivity differently certainly, therefore changes the difference setting when focus search, data reproduction etc.For example, if do not increase, then can not obtain satisfied signal from the gain of the reflected light signal of dish with lower reflectivity.
Utilize this fact, when not knowing that this dish is high reflectance dish or antiradar reflectivity dish, when promptly the reflectivity of determining at disc-type detects and will carry out, just enough to carry out the focus search operation corresponding to the setting (for example low gain setting) of high reflectance dish.
When dish is the high reflectance dish, with the focus search corresponding to the setting of high reflectance dish provide curve ratio as the solid line in accompanying drawing 15B as certain on a bit and signal.That is, the FOK signal becomes " H " at certain on a bit.
On the other hand, when dish is the antiradar reflectivity dish, only obtain low-level curve conduct and signal such as the dotted line in accompanying drawing 15.That is, in the cycle of focus search, do not detect the FOK signal.
Therefore, by can to detect the dish of being packed into be high reflectance dish or antiradar reflectivity dish to carry out the focus search operation corresponding to being provided with of high reflectance dish and determine whether to obtain the FOK signal in the process of focus search operation.
(phase differential that causes by depth of groove)
Produced at push-pull signal with as what reflected light information obtained according to the degree of depth that is formed on the groove (pit) on the dish and to have drawn in phase differential between the signal (and signal).
Consider and draw in the phase differential of signal with respect to as shown in Figure 14 push-pull signal, only reproduce MD, only reproduce high density MD and high density MD Type C and caused that (λ: phase place wavelength) is leading, and record and reproduce MD and high density MD type A/ type B has caused that 0 to λ/4 phase place is leading in λ/4 to λ/2.
Therefore, by determining phase differential, can determine that this dish is high density MD, only reproduces a kind of dish or the record in high density MD and the high density MD Type C and reproduce a kind of dish in MD and the high density MD type A/ type B.
For example the structure of accompanying drawing 16 enough is used for phase differential and determines.Can be distributed in optical head 20, RF amplifier 22 and the memory controller 32 etc. in the single part shown in this accompanying drawing.
When determining phase differential with this structure, to connect and the tracking servo cut-out by the focus servo that makes the object lens in optical head 20, object lens move to the neighboring of dish from the inside circumference of dish.
About by as the detection surfaces A of the photoelectric detector PD in the optical head as shown in the accompanying drawing 16 20, the photoelectric conversion signal that B, C and D detected, at first will add together by totalizer 228 and to be in the same place with at first adding from the signal that detects surperficial B and C by totalizer 229 from the signal that detects surfaces A and D.Then, totalizer 228 and 229 output each all flow to tracking error signal operating unit 221 and draw in signal operation unit 225.
Tracking error signal operating unit 221 calculates the push-pull signal P/P=(A+D)-(B+C) that obtains by the signal that deducts optical receiving surface B+C from the signal of optical receiving surface A+D as tracking error signal TE.Operating unit 221 flows to comparer 222 as the binarization device with tracking error signal TE.
Drawing in signal operation unit 225 will add the light summation signal (and signal) that together obtains by the signal from optical receiving surface A, B, C and D and flow to comparer 226 as the binarization device as drawing in signal PI.
Comparer 222 is by relatively tracking error signal TE and cut-off level TE amplitude limit will flow to transducer 223 through the data TE of binarization comp then to tracking error signal TE binarization.Transducer 223 conversion are through the data TE of binarization comp and will flow to the data input pin D that circuit 224 is determined in the D upset through the binary data of conversion.
Comparer 226 will flow to transducer 227 through the data PI of binarization comp then by relatively drawing in signal PI and cut-off level PI amplitude limit to drawing in signal PI binarization.Transducer 227 conversion are through the data PI of binarization comp and will flow to the input end of clock D that circuit 224 is determined in the D upset through the binary data of conversion.
D upset determine circuit 224 with from comparer 226 through the rising edge of the data PI comp ' of the binarization of conversion along the data TE comp ' that synchronously latchs from comparer 222 through the binarization of conversion.Be that the D upset determines that circuit 224 produces the definite result of disc-type and exports this result by detecting at PI signal and TE phase difference between signals.The D upset determines that circuit 224 for example is provided with in the memory controller 32.Memory controller 32 is determined phase differential based on definite result of the definite circuit 224 of D upset.
Accompanying drawing 17 be depicted as bundle point SP on MD part motion and put the TE signal of motion of SP and the reproduction waveform of PI signal corresponding to bundle.It is that phase differential is the situation of 90 degree with respect to PI signal delay 90 degree that accompanying drawing 17 is depicted as at the TE signal.
Accompanying drawing 18A, 18B, 18C, 18D and 18E are depicted as at dish 90 and are records and reproduce MD or the waveform that parts detected by accompanying drawing 16 during high density MD type A/ type B.D upset determine circuit 224 with through the rising edge of the data PI comp ' of the binarization of conversion along the data TE comp ' that synchronously latchs through the binarization of conversion, and export H thus.
Accompanying drawing 19A, 19B, 19C, 19D and 19E be depicted as dish 90 be only reproduce MD, the waveform that parts detected by accompanying drawing 16 when only reproducing high density MD or high density MD Type C.
In this case, D upset determine circuit 224 with through the rising edge of the data PI comp ' of the binarization of conversion along the data TE comp ' that synchronously latchs through the binarization of conversion, and export L thus.
With respect to comparing on polarity and be inverted with the situation (accompanying drawing 18B) of other groove dish (promptly write down and reproduce MD or high density MD type A/ type B), because high density MD Type C has the darker depth of groove of 160 to 180 nanometers as the phase place of drawing in signal PI (accompanying drawing 19B) of the tracking error signal TE (push-pull signal P/P) in the high density MD Type C of dish with groove.
As shown in Figure 20, the amplitude of tracking error signal (push-pull signal P/P) the depth of groove of 125 nanometers from+change to-.From the dish refractive index of the optical maser wavelength of 780 nanometers and 1.57, the depth d of determining to take place this polar switching is (780/4)/1.57.
Be appreciated that from description above upset determines that " H " that latch output or " L " of circuit 224 is results of the detection of phase differential as D.
Specifically, under the situation of the structure of accompanying drawing 16, D upset determine circuit 224 latch output as accompanying drawing 18A to 18E in when " H ", the dish 90 of being packed into produces 0 to λ/4 phase delay as the phase differential of drawing in signal PI with respect to push-pull signal P/P, therefore can determine to coil 90 is record and reproduction MD or high density MD type A/ type B.On the other hand, latch output when being " L " what circuit 224 was determined in D upset, the dish 90 of being packed into produces the phase delay of λ/4 to λ/2 as the phase differential of drawing in signal PI with respect to push-pull signal P/P, therefore can determine to coil 90 is only to reproduce MD, only reproduce a kind of in high density MD and the high density MD Type C.
Point out that in passing in this phase difference detection, owing to have excentricity in practice, therefore bundle point SP repeatedly moves to the inner periphery side of dish and the periphery avris of dish under the state that tracking servo does not have to connect.Therefore, because direct of travel need fix, so object lens or whole optical block (optical head) need be from for example moving to the neighboring with constant speed from inside circumference to surpass the amount of exercise that is caused by excentricity.
In addition, in this phase difference detection, guarantee that optical head 20 is arranged in the groove area of dish (will be described below) in advance.Do not have groove area owing to only reproduce MD and only reproduce high density MD, therefore the phase difference detection after the identification groove makes and is difficult to determine that dish is record and reproduces MD, high density MD type A/ type B or high density MD Type C.
