[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a disk magazine for an optical disk changer, and more particularly to a disk magazine capable of storing disks of different sizes and suitable for changing the storage ratio.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a disk magazine shown in FIG. 4 has been provided.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 11 denotes a first cover for a disk magazine for accommodating a partition plate, 11a denotes a concave portion of the first cover 11, 11b denotes an opening for inserting and removing a disk, and 12 denotes an outer diameter.
A first partition plate on which a 12 cm compact disk (hereinafter referred to as a CD) is placed. 13 is a partition plate on which a CD having an outer diameter of 8 cm is placed. The outer shape is smaller than the first partition plate 12. 14 is a partition plate. A plate cover, 15 is a cover partition plate for fixing the partition plate cover 14, 16
Is a bottom cover of the first cover 11, and 17 is a screw.

[0004] As shown in FIG. 4, a conventional disk magazine for accommodating a maximum of twelve disks of two types having different outer diameters,
In the recess 11a of the first cover 11, five first partition plates 12 on which a 12 cm CD is mounted are stacked and stored, and then five partition plates 13 on which an 8 cm CD is mounted are mounted on the partition plate cover 14. It is sandwiched between the fixed cover partition plate 15 and the bottom cover 16, and the cover partition plate 15
Is fixed to the bottom cover 16 with screws 17 to form a bottom cover unit, and the partition plate of the bottom cover unit is attached to the first cover 11.
The bottom cover 16 is fixed to the first cover 11 with screws 17.

[0005] The disc magazine shown in FIG.
D is 6 pieces and 8cm CD is 6 pieces.
For example, in order to change the size to accommodate seven 12 cm CDs and five 8 cm CDs, the first partition plate 12 is made up of six and the partition plate 13 is made up of four.
Then, the dedicated partition plate cover 14 when the number of the partition plates 13 is changed to four is fixed to the cover partition plate 15, and a disk magazine is assembled in the same manner as described above.

[0006]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional disk magazine, as the ratio of the number of stored 12-cm CDs to the number of 8-cm CDs is changed, a dedicated partition cover corresponding to the ratio is required.

Further, the number of parts is large, and the cost of parts and assembly labor are high.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and aims at solving the disadvantages of the conventional example, and can easily change the ratio of accommodating two types of disks having different outer diameters. Another object is to provide a disk magazine having a small number of parts.

[0009]

According to the disk magazine of the present invention, a first disk is placed on each stage vertically divided by a plurality of first partition plates housed inside a first cover. In a disc magazine of an optical disc changer for accommodating and storing therein, at least one first partition plate on which the first disc is mounted, and a second disc having a convex portion for guiding and having a different outer diameter from the first disc And at least one second partition plate having the same outer shape as the first partition plate, and a first partition plate disposed on a boundary between the first and second partition plates and having one surface on one surface. A third partition plate having a convex portion guiding the second disk on the other surface and having the same external shape as the first partition plate on the other surface, and a third partition plate serving as a bottom plate of the first cover. Constructed to accommodate disks with different outer diameters with cover 2 Those were.

A screw receiving portion is provided near the outside of the convex portion provided on the third partition plate, and holes are formed in the second partition plate and the second cover so as to be located at the same position as the screw receiving portion. A screw is inserted into this hole and screwed into the screw receiving portion, and the third partition plate and the second
The second partition plate is sandwiched between the covers.

[0011]

According to this invention, the first and second outer diameters are different.
The first and second partition plates on which the discs are mounted, and all the third partition plates disposed at the boundary between the first and second partition plates,
It has the same external shape.

Therefore, in order to change the ratio of the number of stored first and second disks, it is only necessary to change the ratio of the number of first and second partition plates.

Further, since the second partition plate is sandwiched between the third partition plate and the second cover, the second disk does not run over the convex portion of the guide and is positioned at a predetermined position. Is placed.

[0014]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a disk magazine according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

The same parts as those in the conventional example are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a second disk, which is a second partition plate on which, for example, an 8 cm CD is placed; 1a, a convex portion for guiding the second disk; and 1b, four holes through which screws are inserted. Reference numeral 2 denotes a third partition disposed at the boundary between the first and second partitions, and reference numeral 2a denotes a convex portion provided on the Y surface (the other surface) of the third partition 2 for guiding the second disk. Part, 2b is a convex part 2a
A screw receiving portion 3 provided in the vicinity of the outside and having holes for screwing screws is a second cover which is fastened to the first cover 11 with screws and forms a case of a disk magazine.

As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG.
Type of disc, for example, the first disc (12 cm C
D) The disc magazine of the present invention in which four discs and four second discs (8 cm CDs) accommodate a total of eight discs, the three discs for placing a 12 cm CD in the recess 11a of the first cover 11 A first partition plate 12, a third partition plate 2 having a convex portion 2 a on which a 12 cm CD can be placed on the X surface and a second disk (8 cm CD) for guiding the second disk (8 cm CD) at a predetermined position on the Y surface; And three second partition plates 1 on which the discs are to be placed are sequentially stacked and stored. The second partition plate 1 is covered with a second cover 3, and the second
Is fixed to the first cover 11.

Further, a screw 17 is inserted through a hole (not shown) provided in the second cover 3 and screwed into a screw receiving portion 2b provided at four places of the third partition plate 2, thereby forming three sheets. The second partition plate 1 is sandwiched between the third partition plate 2 and the second cover 3.

As a result, the second partition plate 1 bends,
The second disk is prevented from entering the gap between the convex portion 2a and the second or third partition plate 1 or 2 immediately above the convex portion 2a.

The disc magazine shown in FIG.
D can hold 4 sheets and 4 8cm CDs. For example, to change to 5 sheets of 12cm CD and 3 sheets of 8cm CD, change the first partition plate 12 from 3 sheets to 4 sheets. It is only necessary to change the second partition plate 1 from three to two.

[0021]

According to the disk magazine according to the present invention, since the disk magazine is constructed as described above, in order to change the ratio of the number of stored 12 cm CDs and 8 cm CDs, the number of first and second partition plates and the number of screws must be changed. Just change it.

In addition, it has excellent features such as a simple structure with a small number of parts and an easy implementation because it can be constructed at low cost.
