In this chucking operation, the motor 41 is rotated by the operation instruction of the control unit 10, the lead screw 43 is rotated through the gear mechanism 42, and the movement of the pickup unit 44 is used to release the load of the disc hook 94. By operating.

Such a disk chucking operation is
The details will be described below. That is, as shown in FIG. 8, in the initial state, the pickup unit 44 is in the initial position where the screw holder 91 presses the switch SW7, but is not in contact with the connecting shaft 43b of the load releasing mechanism. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, in the first and second chucking arms 95 and 96, the inclined surfaces 95c and 96d are separated from the tapered surface of the chucking sleeve 94d by the biasing force of the spring 96e. There is. Therefore, the chucking sleeve 94d is located above due to the biasing force of the spring 94e, and the disc hook 94 is biased by the chucking sleeve 94d.
Has its claw 94a in the disc holding position. However,
In the initial state, the disc D shown in FIG. 4 does not exist on the turntable 45.

From this state, when the motor 41 is rotated by the operation instruction from the operation instruction section 11 and the pickup unit 44 is further moved to the turntable 45 side, the switch SW8 of the pickup unit 44 is moved as shown in FIG. Is pressed by the support member of the lead screw 43 (ON state), and the end of the pickup unit 44 presses the communication shaft 43b. Then, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, the end portion of the first chucking arm 95 is pressed by the pressing portion 43c of the connecting shaft 43b, and the first chucking arm 95 and the second chucking arm 96 are pressed. And are rotated against the biasing force of the spring 96e, and the inclined surfaces 95c and 96d contact the tapered surface of the chucking sleeve 94d.

Therefore, the chucking sleeve 94d moves downward against the urging force of the spring 94e and urges the pressed portion 94b, so that the disc hook 94 rotates and the claw portion 94a moves to the disc releasing position. Since it moves, the disk can be positioned on the turntable 45.

Following the release of the load on the disc hook as described above, the disc holding by the disc hook 94 and the confirmation operation of the switch SW8 are performed.
13 and the flowchart of FIG. Note that FIG. 11 is a flowchart focusing on the confirmation operation of the SW8, and FIG. 13 is a flowchart focusing on the operation of the claw portion 94a.
Steps 1 to 1108 correspond to FIG. 11, and step 1
The steps after 301 correspond to FIG. 13. That is,
The disc holder is lowered, and the disc D is placed on the turntable 45 so that the claw portion 94a of the disc hook 94 fits inside the disc D held by the disc holder (step 1301).

Then, according to the instruction from the operation instructing section 11, the motor 41 is rotated (step 1302) to move the pickup unit 44 to the initial position (outer peripheral side of the disc) as shown in FIG. Release (step 1101).

Then, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the first
The second chucking arms 95 and 96 are rotated by the urging force of the spring 96e, and the inclined surface portions 95c and 96 are rotated.
d moves away from the tapered surface of the chucking sleeve 94d. Therefore, the chucking sleeve 94d moves upward by the urging force of the spring 94e, the disc hook 94 urged by the chucking sleeve 94d rotates, and its claw portion 94a moves to the disc holding position. As a result, the claw portion 94a of the disc hook 94 engages with the inner diameter of the disc D.

At this time, when it is detected that the claw portion 94a has moved to the holding position due to the SW8 being turned off (steps 1102 and 1303), the pickup unit 44 again moves to the disc releasing position (inner side of the disc). ), The switching instruction unit 12 gives an operation instruction to the motor 41. Then, the motor 41 operates (step 1304) and the pickup unit 44 moves as shown in FIG. 9 (step 1103), so that the switch SW8 is pressed by the support member of the lead screw 43. , If SW8 remains OFF (step 1104), the determination unit 13 determines that SW8 is defective and an error that cannot accurately detect chucking has occurred, and stops the transition to the next operation. (Step 1105).

On the other hand, when it is detected that the claw portion 94a has moved to the release position due to the SW8 being turned on (steps 1104 and 1305), the determination portion 13 turns the SW
8 is normal, and it is determined that accurate chucking can be detected, and the operation instructing section 11 operates the motor 41 so that the pickup unit 44 moves again to the disk outer peripheral side (step 1306). Then, as shown in FIG. 8, since the pickup unit 44 moves (step 1106), the switch SW8 causes the lead screw 4 to move.
The motor 41 is turned off (steps 1107 and 1307), so that the motor 41 is stopped (step 1308). Accordingly, similarly to the above, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the claw portion 94a of the disc hook 94 is formed.
Engages with the inner diameter of the disc D and securely holds the disc D on the turntable 45. Therefore, it becomes possible to shift to the next operation (step 1108).

(2) Chucking Release Operation Following the above disc chucking, the disc D is pulled out from the disc holder, and the disc D is reproduced.
After the disc is re-stored in the disc holder, the load of the disc hook 94 is released and the disc holder is lifted to perform a chucking release operation for removing the disc from the turntable 45. This chucking release operation utilizes the movement of the pickup unit 44, as in the above-described disk chucking.
This is done by operating the load release mechanism of the disc hook.

Such chucking release operation is
The details will be described below. That is, as in the case of disc chucking, the rotation of the motor 41 moves the pickup unit 44 from the initial position as shown in FIG. 8 to the chucking release position (disc inner peripheral side) as shown in FIG. Then, the connecting shaft 43b is pressed, and the end portion of the first chucking arm 95 is pressed by the pressing portion 43c. Then, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, the first
The chucking arm 95 and the second chucking arm 96 rotate against the biasing force of the spring 96e,
The taper surface of the chucking sleeve 94d has a sloped portion 95.
c, 96d abut.

Therefore, the chucking sleeve 94d moves downward against the urging force of the spring 94e and urges the pressed portion 94b, so that the disc hook 94 rotates and the claw portion 94a moves to the disc releasing position. After moving, the disk D can be removed from the turntable 45.

Following the above operation, the switch SW
The confirmation operation 8 is performed, which will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG. That is, as mentioned above,
When the pickup unit 44 is moved to the inner circumference side of the disc (step 1201) and the switch SW8 is turned on (step 1202), the switching instruction section is arranged so that the pickup unit 44 is again moved to the outer circumference side of the disc. 12 issues an operation instruction to the motor 41.

Then, as shown in FIG. 8, since the pickup unit 44 moves (step 1204), the switch SW8 separates from the supporting member of the lead screw 43, but at this time, if SW8 remains ON. ,
The determination unit 13 determines that the SW8 is defective and an error that cannot accurately detect the chucking release has occurred, and stops the transition to the next operation (step 1205).

On the other hand, when the SW8 is turned off (step 1204), the determination unit 13 determines that the SW8 is normal and the correct chucking release can be detected, and the pickup unit 44 again returns to the inner circumference side of the disc. The operation instruction unit 11 operates the motor 41 so as to move to. Then, as shown in FIG. 9, since the pickup unit 44 moves (step 1206), the switch 8 comes into contact with the support member of the lead screw 43, and the O
N (step 1207).

At this time, the pickup unit 44 presses the connecting shaft 43b again, the disc hook 94 rotates, and the claw portion 94a moves to the disc releasing position, so that the disc D can be removed from the turntable 45. It becomes a state. Then, following the release of the load of the disc hook 94, the disc holder is raised,
The disk D held by this is removed from the turntable 45. Therefore, it becomes possible to shift to the next operation (step 1208).

Further, the motor 41 is rotated in accordance with the instruction from the operation instructing section 11 to return the pickup unit 44 to the initial position as shown in FIG. 8 to release the pressing force on the connecting shaft 43b. Then, in the first and second chucking arms 95 and 96, the inclined surfaces 95c and 96d of the chucking sleeve 9 are formed by the biasing force of the spring 96e.
Move away from the 4d taper surface. Then, the chucking sleeve 94d moves upward by the biasing force of the spring 94e, the disc hook 94 biased by the chucking sleeve 94d rotates, and its claw portion 94a holds the disc holding position (the disc D has already been removed). ) Return to.

[Effects of this Embodiment] According to this embodiment as described above, when the claw portion 94a is first moved to the holding position, it is caused by a temporary factor such as an external vibration and the like on the turntable. Even if the disc is not completely held in the disk, the complete chucking can be performed by moving the claw 94a to the release position again and then to the holding position. Therefore, in the state where the disc D is completely fixed to the turntable 45, it is possible to shift to operations such as insertion / ejection of the disc from the disc holder and reproduction of the disc.

Further, the claw portion 94a for disc chucking can be operated according to the movement of the pickup unit 44 which is essential for reproducing the disc D,
Since the drive mechanism and drive source of the pickup unit 44 and the drive mechanism and drive source of the claw portion 94a can be partially used in common, the device can be simplified.

When the switch SW8 for detecting the disc chucking and the chucking release becomes defective, it is judged that an error has occurred before proceeding to the next operation, the apparatus is stopped, and the next operation is performed. Do not shift to. Therefore, malfunction of the switch SW8 due to erroneous detection can be prevented.
