Description

The present invention relates to an optical disc reproducing apparatus for reproducing information recorded on an optical disc, and in particular,
The present invention relates to an improvement of a track pulse generator that generates a track pulse signal used for various controls.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in an optical disc reproducing apparatus, in order to optically reproduce information recorded on an optical disc, tracking for matching the focal position of a laser beam from an optical pickup used for reproduction with the position of a track on the optical disc. Servo control and focus servo control for matching the focal position with the position of the information recording surface on the track on the optical disc are indispensable.

At the time of reproducing information on the optical disc, a so-called seek operation may be performed in which the focal position of the laser beam is moved across a plurality of tracks to a position on the optical disc where desired information is recorded. During the seek operation, the tracking servo loop in the tracking servo control is opened, and the tracking servo loop is switched to the closed state at the timing when the focal position of the laser beam is positioned on the desired track. It needs to be resumed.

For this reason, in the conventional optical disk reproducing apparatus, based on the RF signal from the optical pickup detected during the seek operation or the like, it becomes high level when the focal position of the laser beam is on the track, and other than the track A track pulse signal having a low level when it is in the region is generated, and the tracking servo loop is opened and closed by grasping the relationship between the focal position of the laser beam and the track position using the track pulse signal.

Specifically, the tracking pulse detection signal generated in parallel based on the reflected light from the optical disk of the laser beam during a seek operation or the like is compared with the track pulse signal, and the track pulse signal is at a high level on a desired track. The tracking servo loop is switched from the open state to the closed state at the timing when the tracking error detection signal switches from the high level to the low level. In this way, the tracking servo control can be resumed by closing the tracking servo loop when the focal position of the laser beam is on the track. The tracking error detection signal has a characteristic of switching from a low level to a high level at the center of an area sandwiched between adjacent tracks and switching from a high level to a low level on the central axis of the track. Signal.

In this way, the tracking servo control can be resumed by closing the tracking servo loop when the focal position of the laser beam is on the track.

By the way, the conventional optical disk reproducing apparatus is provided with a track pulse generating unit that generates the track pulse signal, and the track pulse generating unit inputs an RF signal output from the optical pickup and extracts an envelope signal. Extraction means, envelope amplification means for amplifying the envelope signal extracted by the envelope extraction means, and slice means for slicing the envelope signal amplified by the envelope amplification means at a predetermined slice level to output a track pulse signal The track pulse signal is generated based on the envelope signal.
JP-A-11-161967 JP 2002-312959 A JP 10-334473 A

In this way, an envelope signal is extracted from the RF signal, a track pulse signal is generated based on this envelope signal, and tracking servo control, focus servo control, and optical pickup are moved in the radial direction of the optical disc in accordance with this track pulse signal. Various controls such as servo control of the sled and servo control of the spindle motor that rotates the optical disk are performed.

However, the envelope signal depends on the modulation degree of the RF signal (see FIG. 3).
If the modulation degree of the RF signal decreases due to the lens shift of the objective lens of the optical pickup or the defocus of the focal position of the laser beam, the envelope signal deteriorates. As a result, the track pulse signal generated by the track pulse generator The control accuracy of the servo control unit that controls the tracking actuator of the optical pickup using this inaccurate track pulse signal will be reduced, and this will adversely affect the playback operation and seek operation. Or seek operation may become unstable.

In the prior art of Patent Document 1, the level of slicing the envelope signal is made variable in response to the deterioration of the envelope signal due to the change in the modulation degree of the RF signal. If it is too small, the S / N is reduced, and even if the envelope signal is sliced, an accurate mirror signal may not be generated, and the reproduction operation and seek operation may become unstable.

The prior art of Patent Document 2 relates only to focus servo control,
It does not relate to the generation of track pulse signals necessary for various servo controls. The prior art of Patent Document 3 relates only to traverse (thread) servo control, and this prior art is not related to generation of track pulse signals necessary for various servo controls.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems. Even when the modulation degree of the RF signal is lowered due to lens shift, an accurate track pulse signal can be obtained by always obtaining an envelope signal having a constant amplitude level. It is an object of the present invention to provide an optical disk reproducing apparatus capable of generating

The system controller instructs the track pulse generator to cause the amplitude level measurement means to measure the amplitude level of the envelope signal while forcibly shifting the objective lens of the optical pickup during the start-up operation, and thereby the amplitude level The measuring means measures the amplitude level of the envelope signal extracted by the envelope extracting means. Then, in order to make the measured amplitude level of the envelope signal constant regardless of the lens shift amount, the table creating means of the system controller examines the relationship between the lens shift amount and the gain of the envelope amplifying means. Table information indicating the relationship is created and stored in the storage means.

During playback or seek operation, the coil voltage detection means of the track pulse generation unit detects the voltage of the tracking coil of the optical pickup, and the gain control circuit corresponds to the lens shift amount indicated by the coil voltage detected by the coil voltage detection means. The gain to be read is read from the table information and added to the gain of the envelope amplifying means. Thereby, the envelope amplification means
Even if the degree of modulation of the input RF signal decreases due to lens shift, a gain corresponding to the amount of lens shift is added, so that an envelope signal having a constant amplitude level can always be output.

Therefore, according to this configuration, even if the modulation degree of the RF signal is lowered due to the lens shift of the objective lens of the optical pickup or the defocusing of the focal position of the laser light, an envelope signal having a constant amplitude level is always output.

The gain control means amplifies by the amplification means, but the gain control means provides table information indicating the relationship between the lens shift amount and the gain of the envelope amplification means so that the amplitude level of the envelope signal becomes a constant level regardless of the lens shift amount. Since the gain of the envelope amplifying means is controlled based on the above, the envelope amplifying means can amplify the envelope signal with a gain corresponding to the lens shift amount. As a result, the amplitude level of the envelope signal is independent of the lens shift amount. It becomes a certain level.

Therefore, according to this configuration, even if the modulation degree of the RF signal is lowered due to the lens shift of the objective lens of the optical pickup or the defocusing of the focal position of the laser light, an envelope signal having a constant amplitude level is always output. As a result, the track pulse signal generated by the track pulse generation unit becomes accurate, and the accuracy of various servo controls in the servo control unit controlled by using this track pulse signal is improved.

The system controller 22 has a characteristic feature of this embodiment in which the optical disk 1 to be reproduced is loaded and the amplitude level of the envelope signal is track-pulsed while forcibly shifting the objective lens 2a of the optical pickup 2 during the start-up operation. Measurement instruction means 221 for instructing the track pulse generation unit 25 to perform measurement by the amplitude level measurement circuit 255 (see FIG. 2) of the generation unit 25, and the amplitude level of the envelope signal measured by the amplitude level measurement circuit 255.

In FIG. 4, V1, V2, and V3 indicate voltages applied to the tracking coil 2b of the optical pickup 2, and the lens shift amount increases as the voltage increases.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining processing when the gain of the envelope signal amplifier 252 is adjusted in the present embodiment. A process for adjusting the gain of the envelope signal amplifier 252 will be described with reference to this flowchart.

In the optical disk reproducing apparatus of the present embodiment, after the optical disk 1 to be reproduced is loaded (
Step S1) When the optical disk 1 is reproduced, the track pulse generator 25 receives the RF signal output from the optical pickup 2 and converts the envelope signal from the RF signal to L.
Extracted by the PF 251, this envelope signal is amplified by the envelope signal amplifier 252, and further sliced at a predetermined slice level by the slice circuit 253 to generate a track pulse signal.

When such a track pulse signal is generated, the following processing is performed. The system controller 22 instructs the amplitude level measurement circuit 255 of the track pulse generator 25 to measure the amplitude level of the envelope signal while forcibly shifting the objective lens 2a of the optical pickup 2 during the start-up operation. , Amplitude level measurement circuit 25
5 measures the amplitude level of the envelope signal extracted by the LPF 251 (step S2). In order to make the amplitude level of the measured envelope signal constant regardless of the lens shift amount of the objective lens 2a of the optical pickup 2, the system controller 2
The second table creation means 222 checks the relationship between the lens shift amount and the gain of the envelope signal amplifier 252, creates table information indicating the relationship, and stores the table information in the table memory 256 (step S3).

Then, the lens shift amount (the voltage of the tracking coil 2b) of the objective lens 2a of the optical pickup 2 during the reproduction and seek operation is constantly monitored by the coil voltage detection circuit 257 (step S4), and the track is reproduced during the reproduction or seek operation. The coil voltage detection circuit 257 of the pulse generator 25 detects the voltage of the tracking coil 2b of the optical pickup 2, and the gain control circuit 254 corresponds to the lens shift amount indicated by the coil voltage detected by the coil voltage detection circuit 257. The gain is read from the table information in the table memory 256 and added to the gain of the envelope signal amplifier 252 (step S5). As a result, the envelope signal amplifier 252 always outputs an envelope signal having a constant amplitude level because a gain corresponding to the lens shift amount is added even if the modulation degree of the input RF signal is reduced by the lens shift. Can do.

When the modulation degree of the RF signal decreases due to the lens shift, when the amplitude of the envelope signal decreases by, for example, the amplitude E2 as shown in FIG. 4, the lens shift amount at this time, that is, the voltage of the tracking coil 2b. Becomes V2. Therefore, the gain corresponding to the voltage V2 becomes G2, and this gain G2 is added to the gain of the envelope signal amplifier 252 by the gain control circuit 254. As a result, the envelope signal becomes an amplitude E to which the amount of the amplitude E2 by the gain G2 is added, and an envelope signal having a constant amplitude E can be obtained. The processing from step S4 to step S5 is performed until the reproduction or seek operation is completed (step S6), so that an envelope signal having a constant amplitude E can be always obtained, and a track obtained by slicing the envelope signal. The pulse signal is accurate.

In general, the greater the modulation degree of the RF signal, the better the S / N of the envelope signal, and the quality of the track pulse signal generated by slicing the envelope signal is improved. Therefore, even if the modulation degree of the RF signal is lowered by the lens shift, the S / N of the envelope signal is improved by preventing the amplitude of the envelope signal from being lowered, and a track generated by slicing the envelope signal. The quality of the pulse signal is also improved.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, even if the modulation degree of the RF signal decreases due to the lens shift of the objective lens 2a of the optical pickup 2 or the defocus of the focal position of the laser light, the envelope signal amplifier 252 An envelope signal having a constant amplitude level can always be output. As a result, the track pulse signal generated by the slicing circuit 253 becomes accurate, and various servos in the servo control unit 4 controlled using this track pulse signal. The accuracy of the control is increased, thereby improving the performance of the reproduction operation and the seek operation.
