In addition, a holder 103 ′ is provided which supports a positioning lever 103 having a positioning pin 102 which is slightly separated from the outer diameter of the disk when the disk is moved up and down to prevent the disk from being displaced in the forward direction. ing. The positioning lever 103 is a push cam 1 supported by the chassis 8.
04, the cam surface 10 of the push cam 104.
Reference numeral 5 is fitted to a pin 46 of the left slide arm 46 to restrict rotation. The disk receiver 87 has two springs 1
06 is constantly urged toward the unit plate 75 side. A large pulley 111 mounted on an E-ring 110 is attached to a shaft 109 which is rotatably coupled to the shaft 107 by a long hole 108 so as to be rotatable within a certain angle range with respect to the convex portion 107 of the drive gear. A belt 113 is hung between the small pulleys 112 for rotating the rollers 83 by friction transmission. The transfer roller 83 and the pressure roller 84 are made of rubber or the like, and rotate between the core shafts 114 and 115 by friction so as to prevent scratches when the disk is fixed. Further, pins 116 and 117 are mounted on the unit plate 75 at positions that are concentric with the center of the turntable 59 and slightly larger than the outer diameter of the disk.
Further, the chassis 8 is also provided with an optoelectronic sensor 118 for detecting the presence or absence of light blocking immediately below at the same distance. Further, a sensor 119 for detecting when the disk is almost half inserted from the door 9 is provided, and the sensor 1 for detecting the position of the door link 10 at the end 120 of the door link.
21 are provided, and the sensor 118 and the UP switch 4 described above are provided.
7, together with the chuck switch 49, are connected to a signal determination circuit (not shown) composed of a microcomputer. The disk motor 61, the drive motor 19, the pickup 6
2, a plunger 13 is connected to a drive circuit (not shown), an eject button 3, a play button 4, and other buttons 5 are connected to a signal determination circuit, and a display tube is connected to a display circuit (not shown). (Not shown). Next, the operation will be described. Disk 58
When the player presses the door 9 with the disk in the state of FIG. 3, the door link end 120 turns on the sensor 121. Thereby, the plunger 13 is sucked by the control circuit, and the drive motor 19 starts rotating at the same time when the door 9 is opened,
The driving gear 23 and the large pulley 111 rotate counterclockwise, and the belt 113 and the small pulley 112 rotate the transfer roller 8.
3 is rotated in the disk retracting direction. At this time, the rack 27 is disengaged from the drive gear 23 by the plunger 13, the clutch slider 16, and the clutch link 30 (the state shown in FIG. 8). Subsequently, when the disk 58 is pulled in and the sensor 118 is no longer interrupted, the drive motor 19 is stopped and the plunger 13 is turned off. This allows the spring 1
The door 9 is closed by the force of 7. And the rack 27 is a spring 1
The force of 5 causes the clutch link 30 to rotate, rise, and mesh with the drive gear 23 (FIG. 9). Next, the drive motor 19 is rotated in reverse by the control circuit (all the above-described circuits), and the drive gear 23 is rotated.
Rotates clockwise. At this time, even if the driving gear 23 rotates in the reverse direction, the large pulley 111 does not rotate because the rotation angle range of the elongated hole 108 does not push the convex portion 107 and power is not transmitted. Therefore, the transfer roller 83 does not rotate. The rack 27 moves forward and moves to a position over the rack stopper 32. Thereafter, the elongated hole 25 pushes the right slide arm 24. Accordingly, the right slide arm 24 starts to move forward, and the rotating plate 41 also rotates, so that the left slide arm 46 also moves forward at the same time. Subsequently, the push cam 104 is raised and the positioning lever 103 is raised (the state of FIG. 9). As the lifting levers 52 and 54 rotate, the clamp arm 90 moves down, and the disc receiver 87 is
It descends by the force of 06. At the same time, since the pressure roller 84 is lowered, the disk 58 is lowered, and the disk 58 is lowered with the front-side positioning pins 102 and the side walls of the disk receiver 87 in the left-right direction and the pins 116 and 117 in the rear direction. It is put on 59. At this time, the front end 34 of the right slide arm pushes up the stopper link 37, lowers the door stopper 35, and locks the door 9 so as not to open. At the same time, the clamper 80 presses the disk 58, and the lower surface portions 9 of the left and right slide arms 24 and 46.
Since the units 9, 100 and 101 are separated from the pins 98, 97 and 96, the unit plate 75 is released and becomes free. Subsequently, since the end 50 of the left slide arm 46 presses the chuck switch 49 (FIG. 11), the drive motor 1
9 stops, the loading of the disc is completed, and then the control circuit activates the turntable 60 and the pickup 62 to start playing (the state of FIG. 11). Next, a case where the performance is stopped and the disk 58 is taken out will be described. When the eject button 3 is pressed, the control circuit stops the turntable 60 and the drive motor 19
Rotates the drive gear 23 counterclockwise. The rack 27 starts moving backward, and the left and right slide arms 2
4, 46 begin to move backwards. Then, the lower surface 9
9, 100, 101 contact the pins 98, 97, 96,
The unit plate 75 is fixed so as not to move upward. Further, the lifting levers 52 and 54 are connected to the left and right slide arms 2.
When the clamp arm 9 rotates when it rotates with the movement of the
0 is pushed up, and the clamper 80 is separated from the disk 58. At the same time, the door stopper 35 is raised by the force of the spring 38. Subsequently, as the clamp arm 90 rises, the tip of the clamper holder 82 comes into contact with the chassis 8, the clamper 80 is lifted, the disc 58 is lifted from the turntable 60, and the pressure roller 84 transports the disc 58 by the spring 106. It is pressed against the roller (state of FIG. 13). Subsequently, the push cam 104 is pushed down by the left slide arm 46, and the positioning lever 103 is pressed.
Lower. Further, the rack 27 moves backward to a position away from the rack holder 32. The rear end 48 pushes the up switch 47. The drive motor 19 is stopped by the control circuit, and the plunger 13 is turned on at the same time. As a result, the door 9 opens, and the clutch slider 16 is disengaged from the springs 15 and 1.
7, the clutch link 30 is rotated, the rack 27 is rotated downward, and the drive gear 23 is disconnected. Subsequently, the drive motor 19 rotates in the reverse direction and the drive gear 2
3 rotates clockwise, and the large pulley 111 and the belt 11
3. The transfer roller 83 rotates in the direction of discharging the disk via the small pulley 112, and discharges the disk 58. When the disk 58 passes by the sensor 119, the drive motor 19 is stopped by the control circuit. At this time, the plunger 13 is turned off and the door is closed. In this embodiment, at this time, the plunger 13
It is obvious that it is easy to turn off the plunger 13 and to turn off the plunger 13 when the disk is separated from the sensor 118 to close the door. This prevents the door from hitting the disc during ejection. According to the present invention, the mechanism of the clamp section is simplified.
Easy and thin structure saves space in the entire device
it can. Also, the leaf spring that supports the clamper is movable
And a buffering means.
The vibration of the leaf spring can be suppressed even when disturbance is applied.
Unnecessary noise of the device can be prevented, and
Damage can be prevented and the life of the device can be extended .
