Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a recording medium mounting system and method suitable for use in a tape library system, and more particularly, to loading and ejecting a cassette tape in a magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus. In this case, the present invention also relates to a method for preventing the cassette tape from becoming unknown.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A plurality of cassette tapes are stored in a library section, a desired cassette tape is taken out from the library section, and the cassette tape is conveyed to a desired magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus and loaded. There is known a tape library system in which a cassette tape is taken out of a recording / reproducing apparatus and the cassette tape is stored at a desired position in a library section.

In such a library system, the entire library system is controlled by a system controller. When loading a cassette tape into the magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus, a command is given to the cassette transport robot from the system controller that controls the entire library system, and the cassette tape is transported based on the command, and the cassette transport robot sends the cassette tape. Is pushed into the cassette insertion portion of the magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus.

[0004] The magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus is provided with a sensor mechanism for detecting the inserted state of the cassette. When the cassette tape is pushed into the cassette insertion portion of the magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus by the cassette transport robot, the sensor mechanism detects that the cassette tape is in the inserted state. As a result, the cassette retracting operation is started, and the cassette tape pushed by the cassette transport robot is retracted into the magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus. Thus, the cassette tape transported by the cassette transport robot is loaded inside the magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus.

[0005]

As described above, in the conventional library system, when loading a cassette tape into the magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus, the cassette tape is pushed into the cassette insertion portion of the magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus by the cassette transport robot. When the sensor mechanism detects that the cassette tape is in the inserted state, the cassette retracting operation is started, and the cassette tape pushed by the cassette transport robot is retracted into the magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus. At this time, if the cassette tape has been safely pulled into the cassette insertion portion, the loading of the cassette is completed.

However, for example, after the cassette tape is pushed in, the cassette tape may be caught on the cassette holding portion of the cassette transfer robot, and the cassette tape may be pulled out. In this case,
The magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus performs an operation of ejecting the cassette tape so that the cassette tape and the device are not damaged.

Conventionally, in the case where the cassette tape is forcibly pulled out and the cassette tape is ejected while the cassette tape is being drawn inside, the system controller which controls the entire library is used. Is treated as an error.

That is, FIG. 5 shows a conventional system.
9 is a flowchart illustrating a process when a cassette tape is inserted into a cassette insertion unit of the magnetic recording / reproducing device.

In FIG. 5, it is determined from the output of the sensor mechanism whether or not a cassette tape has been inserted (step S101). If it is determined that a cassette tape has been inserted, a cassette tape pull-in operation is executed (step S101). Step S102). While the cassette tape is being pulled in, it is determined from the output of the sensor mechanism whether or not the cassette tape is in the inserted state (step S103).

If the cassette tape is not forcibly pulled out, it is determined in step S103 that the cassette tape is in the inserted state while the cassette tape is being pulled in. If it is determined that the cassette tape is in the inserted state while the cassette tape is being pulled in, it is determined whether or not the cassette tape pull-in operation has been completed (step S104). If the cassette tape pull-in operation has not been completed, the process returns to step S102, and the cassette tape pull-in operation is continued. If it is determined in step S104 that the cassette tape pull-in operation has been completed, the operation is terminated.

For example, if the cassette grip of the cassette transfer robot is caught on the cassette tape,
While the cassette tape is being pulled in, the cassette tape is forcibly pulled out, and it is determined in step S103 that the cassette tape is no longer in the inserted state while the cassette tape is being pulled in.

If it is determined in step S103 that the cassette tape is no longer in the inserted state while the cassette tape is being pulled in, the cassette tape is ejected (step S105). And
It is determined whether or not the operation of discharging the cassette tape has been completed (step S106). If it is determined that the operation of discharging the cassette tape has not been completed, the process returns to step S105, and the operation of discharging the cassette tape continues.
When the operation of discharging the cassette tape is completed in step S106, the operation ends.

FIG. 6 shows processing on the system controller side for controlling the entire library system when a cassette tape is mounted on the cassette insertion portion of the magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus by the cassette transport robot.

In FIG. 6, when a cassette tape is mounted on the cassette insertion portion of the magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus by the cassette transport robot, a command for inserting the cassette tape is given from the system controller to the cassette transport robot (step S111). .

When receiving a command for inserting a cassette tape, the cassette transport robot performs an operation of pushing the cassette tape into the cassette insertion portion by the cassette holding portion. As described above, when the cassette tape is pushed into the cassette insertion portion of the magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus by the cassette transport robot, the magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus performs a cassette pull-in operation (step S102 in FIG. 5),
If the attachment of the cassette tape is successful, the operation of pulling in the cassette tape is completed.

On the system controller side, the cassette recording operation is performed by the magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus, and it is determined whether or not a sufficient time has elapsed for completing the cassette recording operation (step S112). At that time, it is determined whether or not the cassette tape pull-in operation has been completed (step S113).

If the state is normal, the drawing operation is performed within a predetermined time, and it is determined in step S113 that the drawing operation of the cassette tape is completed. Step S
If it is determined at 113 that the operation of pulling in the cassette tape has been completed by the magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus, then a command such as recording or reproduction is given to the recording / reproducing apparatus (step S114).

For example, in the case where the cassette gripper is caught by the cassette tape, as described above,
In the magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus, the cassette tape is ejected. In this case, in steps S112 and S113, it is not determined that the cassette tape pull-in operation has been completed even after the predetermined time has elapsed. In this case, an error is displayed in step S115.

As described above, conventionally, when a cassette tape is loaded into a magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus, for example, after the cassette tape is pushed in, the cassette tape is caught by the cassette gripping portion of the cassette transport robot, and the cassette tape is pulled out. If this happens, the cassette tape is ejected by the magnetic recording / reproducing device, and an error occurs on the system controller that controls the entire library system, and it becomes unknown where the cassette tape was. I will.
