Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an optical disk device, and more particularly, to an optical disk device including a positioner position control mechanism for removing an offset of a tracking error signal.

[Conventional technology]

In the conventional optical disk device, first, coarse position control is performed on the positioner, and the positioner is completely stopped at a position near the target.
Next, a fine position control was applied to the optical head by a tracking control circuit.

Next, a conventional optical disk device will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the related art. In the optical disk device shown in FIG. 2, an optical disk 1 as a medium is mounted on a turntable 2,
The turntable 2 is directly connected to a motor 4 via a rotating shaft 3 and is driven to rotate by the motor 4. The head 5 is on a positioner 6. The positioner 6 has a linear motor 7 and a position detecting scale 8. A semiconductor laser 9 is provided in the head 5, and a laser beam output from the semiconductor laser 9 is converted into a parallel light beam by a collimating lens 10 and is incident on a polarizing prism 11. Since the light from the semiconductor laser 9 is linearly polarized in a direction perpendicular to the plane of incidence, it is reflected by the polarizing film. Polarizing prism 11
The light reflected by is focused by the objective lens 12 to a spot.
At the time of writing, the output of the semiconductor laser 9 is made larger than at the time of reading. The light reflected by the optical disk 1 passes through the objective lens 12 again and follows the same path as the outward path to the polarizing film. 1 /
The light incident on the polarizing film by the action of the four-wavelength plate 13 is changed so that the polarization direction is orthogonal to the polarization direction in the outward path, and therefore does not return to the semiconductor laser 9 through the polarizing film.

The light transmitted through the polarizing prism 11 reaches the detector 14. Focus control (not shown in FIG. 2) and tracking control are performed using the detection signal a output from the detector 14. (Focus control is a servo for adjusting the distance between the lens and the optical disk to narrow the spot to the optical disk surface.) The detection signal a output from the detector 14 passes through the tracking error signal generator 15 to generate the tracking error signal b. Let it. The tracking error signal b enters the tracking power amplifier 17 through the filter 16 including the lead-lag circuit, and drives the tracking actuator 18 of the head 5. When the tracking actuator 18 is driven, the lens moves in the radial direction, and the spot can be hit on the target track.

The sensor signal c output from the sensor 19 of the scale 8 generates a positioner error signal d through a positioner error signal generator 20. The positioner error signal d enters the positioner power amplifier 22 through a filter 21 including a lead-lag circuit, and drives the linear motor 7 to move the positioner 6.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

Figure 3 shows the relationship between the track pitch L _t and positioner pitch L _p. Point P is the center of the track. Point O is the center of rotation of the optical disk (medium disk) 1. As shown in FIG. 3, when there is a difference between the point P which is the center of the track and the point O which is the center of rotation (eccentricity), the optical disk 1 is rotated about the point O and the positioner 6 is controlled by position control. When stopped, the trajectory of the laser beam output from the head 5 becomes as shown by a thick solid line in FIG.
This thick solid line crosses several to several tens of tracks shown as the thin solid line in FIG. In order to control the tracking, the objective lens 12 of the head 5 is moved by a tracking actuator, so that the trajectory of the laser beam can be put on a target track. If the eccentricity is large, an offset appears in the tracking error signal due to the compression ratio even when the tracking control is performed. Moreover, at this time, the center of the lens and the optical axis deviate from each other, and the data recording / reproducing characteristics deteriorate.

An object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus in which the center of a lens is located immediately below a target track and the data recording / reproducing characteristics are not deteriorated.

[Means for solving the problem]

An optical disk device according to the present invention includes an optical system driven by a tracking actuator, irradiates an optical disk with light through the optical system, and outputs a detection signal corresponding to reflected light, and a head is generated based on the detection signal. A tracking control unit that drives the tracking actuator in accordance with a tracking error signal; a positioner that mounts the head; a first positioner position control unit that drives the positioner with a sensor signal indicating the position of the positioner; A second positioner control unit that drives the positioner according to a signal from an actuator, a selection circuit that switches between the first positioner control unit and the second positioner control unit, and controls an operation of the selection circuit. Features include positioner processing control circuit To.

[Action]

First, coarse positioning is performed by a positioner and a first positioner position control unit that drives the positioner based on a sensor signal indicating the position of the positioner. Next, a head is mounted on the positioner, and a tracking actuator is mounted on the head. The head includes an optical system driven by the tracking actuator, irradiates light to the optical disk through the optical system, and performs detection according to reflected light. A signal is output from the head, and a tracking control unit that drives the tracking actuator in accordance with a track error signal generated based on the detection signal causes a beam to hit a target track, but to a center of the lens and the target track. A position shift occurs. Further, a position shift between the center of the lens and a target track is performed by a positioner processing control circuit that generates a positioner two-stage servo position control command and a second positioner control unit that drives the positioner according to the tracking actuator current signal. Can be eliminated.

〔Example〕

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the configuration of the present invention. First, the positioner processing control circuit 23 first issues a positioner position control command to the selection circuit 24 based on the i signal, and then inputs the output signal of the filter 21 including the lead-lag circuit into the positioner power amplifier 22 to perform coarse position control of the positioner (second). Same as the figure).

Next, the position of the laser beam is controlled on the target track by the tracking control circuit (the same as in FIG. 2). A current signal f flowing to the tracking actuator is output from the tracking power amplifier. The tracking actuator current signal f passes through a two-stage servo error signal generator 25 to generate a two-stage servo error signal g. The two-stage servo error signal g passes through a filter 26 including a lead-lag circuit to generate a signal h.

Next, the positioner processing control circuit 23 issues an output signal h of the filter 26 including the lead lag to the positioner power amplifier 22 by issuing the positioner two-stage servo position control command to the selection circuit 24 by the i signal, and the two-stage servo position control. multiply. By applying the two-stage servo position control, the center of the lens is always directly below the target track, and the overall compression ratio is increased.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, the present invention has an effect of eliminating the displacement between the center of the lens and the target track by the tracking actuator current signal without driving the positioner.
