When the reproducing operation is being performed, the two clamper support plates 18 are separated from each other as shown in FIG. 5B, and each inclined piece 20 is inserted deeply into the engaging hole 21.

However, when the two disk guides 14 rotate in a direction to bring the guide grooves 16 closer to each other, the clamper support plates 18 move closer to each other, and each inclined piece 20 is inserted into the engaging hole 21.
Pivot upward while sliding against the inner edge of the. When the two guide grooves 16 are parallel to each other as shown in FIG. 2, the interval between the rotation ends of the clamper support plates 18 is minimized. At this time, the inclined pieces 20 of the clamper support plates 18 are moved as shown in FIG. Escapes from the engagement hole 21 and contacts the upper surface of the main chassis 1,
The rotation end of each clamper support plate 18 is held at the highest position.

A clamper 22 is disposed above the turntable 5. When the two clamper support plates 18 are close to each other, the clamper 22 shown in FIG.
And lifted up by the rotating ends of both clamper supporting plates 18 and separated from the turntable 5 upward. However, as the clamper support plates 18 move away from each other, the clamper support plates 18 also move away from each other, and the inclined piece 20 is moved as shown in FIG.
, The rotating ends of both clamper support plates 18 move away from each other while descending. Therefore, when the disk 6 is placed on the turntable 5, the two clamper support plates 18 separate from the clamper 22 to the left and right while lowering the clamper 22 on the disk 6.

As shown in FIG. 7, the turntable 5 has an upper surface serving as a disk holding surface 23 for defining a position of the disk 6 in the axial direction, but there is no portion higher than the disk holding surface 23. Further, an annular concave portion 24 is formed around a shaft hole mounted on the rotation shaft of the motor 4. A tapered guide surface 25 is formed at the outermost peripheral portion of the upper surface of the turntable, that is, around the disk holding surface 23, and an annular magnetic body is formed in the area of the disk holding surface 23.
(An iron plate or the like) 26 is embedded.

On the other hand, the lower surface of the clamper 22 has a pressing portion 27 for holding the disk 6 on the disk holding surface 23 and a cylindrical projection 28 inserted into the recess 24 through the center hole of the disk 6. The holding part 2 of the clamper 22

A cylindrical surface 32 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the protrusion 28 following the inner guide surface 30, and a cylindrical surface 33 that fits with the cylindrical surface 32 is formed in the concave portion 24. By fitting the surfaces 32 and 33 together, the center of the turntable 5 and the clamper 22 are aligned. Further, a cylindrical surface 34 is also formed on the outer periphery of the projection 28 following the outer guide surface 31.
Is fitted in the center hole of the disk 6 to restrict the movement of the disk 6 in the direction perpendicular to the axis.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4A, a control member 35 is mounted on the upper surface of the main chassis 1 so as to be rotatable about a support shaft 36. The control member 35 is interposed between the cam pin 10 fixed to the ejection member 8 and the other piece of the right disk guide 14, and a cam surface 37 in contact with the cam pin 10 is formed outside. Further, a leaf spring 39 is rotatably mounted on the support shaft 36, and the leaf spring 39 is interposed between the control member 35 and the other piece of the right disk guide 14. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, when the eject member 8 is pulled back by the tension spring 9 and is returned to the front of the apparatus, the cam pins 10 come into contact with the valleys of the cam surface 37, and the two disk guides 14 As shown in FIG. 2, when the eject member 8 is at the pushed-in position as shown in FIG. 2, the cam pin 10 comes into contact with the peak of the cam surface 37, and the leaf spring 39 is attached to the other outer surface of the right disk guide 14. By pressing strongly, the two disk guides 14 are brought close to each other against the spring 17, and the two guide grooves 16 are held in a parallel state.

A disk push-back member 40 is mounted on the sub-chassis 3 so as to be rotatable about a support shaft 41. The push-back member 40 has a contact pin 42 at a rotation end, and the spring 43 causes the contact pin 42 to turn the turntable 5.
An elastic force in a direction to push back the upper disk 6 is given. The push-back member 40 has a locking piece 44 near the center of rotation. As shown in FIG. 3, the locking piece 44 is
Is pulled back by the tension spring 9 and returns to the front of the apparatus, the engaging projection 11 formed on the ejecting member 8 comes into contact with the end face 45 of the locking piece 44, and the push-back member 40 is moved to the spring 4 position.
2, but when the eject member 8 is pushed into the forward movement position as shown in FIG. To hold the ejection member 8 at the pushed-in position. A contact portion 47 is further formed near the center of rotation of the push-back member 40.

When the disc 6 is inserted through the insertion slot 12, the push-back member 40 is pushed by the outer periphery of the disc 6 and moves forward from the position shown in FIG. 2 to the position shown in FIG.
At this time, the inner surface 46 of the locking piece 44 comes into sliding contact with the engagement protrusion 11. Then, when the inner side surface 46 is disengaged from the engagement projection 11, the engagement projection 11 is pulled by the tension spring 9 to return to the end surface 45 of the locking piece 44.
As a result, the push-back member 40 is further rotated slightly, and the contact pin 42 is separated from the outer periphery of the disk 6.

Next, the operation of the disk reproducing apparatus configured as described above will be described. Before inserting the disc,
As shown in FIG.
4 is held at the pushing position. Then, the cam pin 10 of the eject member 8 comes into contact with the crest of the cam surface 37 of the control member 35 to bring the pair of disk guides 14 close to each other, thereby holding the two guide grooves 16 in a parallel state. Furthermore,
As shown in FIG. 5A, the clamper 22 is
Is lifted at the rotation end of the turntable 5 and is separated from the turntable 5.

In this state, when the disk 6 is inserted from the insertion opening 12, the outer peripheral edge of the disk 6 is engaged with the guide grooves 16 of the pair of disk guides 14. When the disc 6 is pushed as it is, as shown in FIG. 2, the contact pin 42 of the push-back member 40 is pushed on the outer periphery of the disc 6, and the push-back member 40 moves forward against the spring 43. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, until the center of the disk 6 substantially coincides with the center of the turntable 5 , that is, the clamper 2
The disk 6 can be centered by the tapered surface 31
To the position where the disk 6 can be loaded on the turntable 5.
When the lock member 44 of the push-back member 40 is disengaged from the engagement projection 11 of the eject member 8, the contact portion 47 of the push-back member 40 comes into contact with the eject member 8 and pushes the disc 6 further. Is prohibited. And
As the eject member 8 comes off the locking piece 44,
It is pulled back by the tension spring 9 and moves backward. At this time, FIG.
As shown in (B), the bent small piece 8a of the ejecting member 8 slides on the end face 45 of the locking piece 44 to move the push-back member 40 further slightly, and separates the contact pin 42 from the outer periphery of the disk 6. . The return of the push-back member 40 by the spring 43 is prohibited by the engagement protrusion 11 of the eject member 8.

When the eject member 8 returns, the cam pins 10 move from the peaks to the valleys of the cam surface 37 of the control member 35, so that the two disk guides 14 rotate in the directions away from each other by the spring 17. The two guide grooves 16 are separated from the disk 6. At this time, both clamper support plates 18
The rotating ends are separated from each other while descending, so that the clampers 22 supported by both rotating ends are placed on the disk 6. Then, the disk 6 is held on the disk holding surface 23 of the turntable 5 by the attraction between the permanent magnet 29 and the magnetic body 26. In this state, the recess 24 and the protrusion 2
By the engagement of the cylindrical surfaces 33 and 32 with each other, the center of the turntable 5 and the clamper 22 are accurately aligned. In addition, since the tapered guide surface 30 is provided at the tip of the protrusion 28, the alignment between the clamper 22 and the turntable 5 is further facilitated.

Further, since the tapered guide surface 25 is provided around the disk holding surface 23 of the turntable 5, the disk 6 can be easily guided onto the disk holding surface 23 when the disk is inserted. If the motor 4 and the pickup 7 are activated in association with the return movement of the eject member 8, the reproducing operation can be started only by inserting the disk 6.

Next, when the ejecting member 8 is pushed in the reproducing operation state shown in FIG. 3, the motor 4 and the pickup 7 are first stopped. Further, since the cam pin 10 shifts from the trough to the peak of the cam surface 37 of the control member 35,
Both disc guides 14 approach each other, and both guide grooves 16
Are in a parallel state in which the outer peripheral edge of the disk 6 can be guided. In this state, the bent small piece 8a of the eject member 8 comes off the end face 45 of the locking piece 44 of the push-back member 40, and the push-back member 40 is rotated by the spring 43, and the disk 6 is held by the contact pin 42. Push back. As a result, the disc 6 is inserted into the slot 1
Since it protrudes greatly from the outside of the device, it can be easily taken out.

According to the above apparatus, the loading of the disk 6 is performed by pushing the disk 6 to the end, and the removal of the disk 6 is performed by the backward movement of the disk push-back member 40. Becomes Also, 1
When the paired disk guides 14 are separated from the disk 6, the clamper 22 moves the disk 6 to the turntable 5.
Therefore, there is no need to provide a special setting mechanism for holding the disk 6 on the turntable 5. Therefore, a means for driving the disk transport mechanism and the setting mechanism is not required, and the configuration is simple and small, and the manufacturing cost can be greatly reduced. At the moment when the contact pin 42 of the disc push-back member 40 contacts the disc 6 by performing the disc removal operation,
A braking effect acts on the disk, and the rotation of the disk can be stopped immediately.

In the first embodiment, when the portion of the contact pin 42 which contacts the disk is formed of a friction material,
It is possible to further enhance the braking effect when the contact pin 42 comes into contact with the disk by performing the disk removal operation.
Further, the pushing operation of the ejecting member 8 may be performed not by hand but by a motor force.

Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The same parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted. However, when a disk is inserted, the disk guide is pushed by the disk and moves forward, and the disk guide moves backward. The point that the disc is pushed back by, and the structure that supports the clamper are the first
This is a main point different from the embodiment.

FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing a mechanical portion of the disc reproducing apparatus, FIG. 9 is a sectional view of the disc guide 50, and FIGS. 10 and 11 are schematic plan views showing a part of the section. The disc guide 50 has an arc shape, and has an engagement groove 51 on the inner side for engaging with the outer peripheral edge of the disc 6. On the upper surface of the sub-chassis 3, a support lever 52 constituting a locking mechanism is provided.
It is mounted rotatably via a support shaft 53. A connecting shaft 54 is fixed to the rotating end of the support lever 52, and the center of the disc guide 50 is rotatably connected to the shaft 54. The support lever 52 has a shape very similar to the push-back member 40 in the first embodiment, has a locking piece 56 and a contact portion 57 near the center of rotation, and has a spring 5.
8 provides an elastic force in the backward movement direction.

When the ejecting member 8 is pulled back by the tension spring 9 and is returned to the front of the apparatus as shown in FIG. 11, the engaging projection 11 of the ejecting member 8 comes into contact with the end face 59 of the locking piece 56. , The support lever 52 and the disc guide 50 are held at the forward movement position against the spring 58, but when the ejection member 8 is at the forward movement position where it is manually pushed in,
The inner side surface 60 of the locking piece 56 comes into contact with the engaging projection 11 of the ejecting member 8 to lock the ejecting member 8 at the forward movement position. The outer surfaces of both ends of the disk guide 50 are guided by the inner surface of the side plate 2 of the main chassis 1 so that the disk guide 50 can reciprocate in the front-rear direction of the apparatus.

The clamper support plate 6 for supporting the clamper 22
The sub-chassis 3 is mounted on the sub-chassis 3 so as to be freely rotatable in the vertical direction, and is provided with a downward rotating power by a spring 64. Further, a leaf spring 65 is fixed to the rotating end of the clamper support plate 63, and the
2 is supported. The clamper support plate 63 has an inclined piece 67 inclined downward. When the eject member 8 moves forward, the inclined piece 67 slides the engagement protrusion 11 of the eject member 8 so that the clamper support plate 63 rotates upward against the spring 64. It has become.

Next, the operation of the second embodiment will be described. Before the disc is inserted, the eject member 8 is held at the forward movement position by the locking piece 56 of the support lever 52 as shown in FIG. Then, the clamper 22 is lifted at the rotation end of the clamper support plate 63 as shown in FIG. In this state, when the disk 6 is inserted from the insertion opening 12, the outer peripheral edge of the disk 6 engages with the guide groove 51 of the disk guide 50, and when the disk 6 is pushed as it is, the disk guide 50 resists the spring 58. Then go forward.

When the disk 6 is inserted until the center of the disk 6 substantially coincides with the center of the turntable 5, the locking piece 56 of the support lever 52 is engaged with the engaging projection 1 of the eject member 8.
At the same time, the contact portion 57 of the support lever 52 comes into contact with the eject member 8, and further pushing the disk 6 is prohibited. Then, the eject member 8 is pulled by the tension spring 9 and moves backward. At this time, the bent small piece 8a of the ejecting member 8 slides on the end face 59 of the locking piece 56 to further slightly move the support lever 52 to move the disk guide 50 away from the outer periphery of the disk 6. The return of the disc guide 50 and the support lever 52 by the spring 58 is as follows.
Forbidden by the engagement projection 11 of the eject member 8. In addition, with the return of the eject member 8, the engaging projection 11 is disengaged from the inclined piece 67.
4, the clamper 22 is moved downward by the disc 6
Is held on the turntable 5.

Next, when the ejecting member 8 is manually moved forward, the engaging projection 11 pushes the inclined surface 67 in relation thereto, and the clamper 22 is separated from the turntable 5.
Further, the engaging projection 11 is disengaged from the locking piece and the support lever 52
Then, the disk guide 50 is moved backward by the spring 57, and the disk 6 is pushed back by the disk guide 50 toward the outside of the apparatus.

In the above configuration, the loading of the disk 6 is performed by pushing the disk 6 to the end by hand.
Since the removal of the disk 6 is performed by the backward movement of the disk guide 50, a disk transport mechanism becomes unnecessary. When the disk guide 50 is separated from the disk 6,
Since the clamper 22 is configured to hold the disk 6 on the turntable 5, it is not necessary to provide a special setting mechanism for holding the disk 6 on the turntable 5. Therefore, a means for driving the disk transport mechanism and the setting mechanism is not required, and the configuration is simple and small, and the manufacturing cost can be greatly reduced. Also,
At the moment when the disk guide 50 comes into contact with the disk 6 by performing the disk removing operation, the disk is braked and the rotation of the disk can be stopped immediately.

Next, a third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. This embodiment is a modification of the disk guide according to the second embodiment, and FIG. 12 is a schematic plan view showing a part in section. Also in this embodiment, the same portions as those of the above-described two embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description is omitted.

In the figure, reference numeral 70 denotes a disk guide divided into two right and left parts. The two divided guides 71 are rotatably connected to a connecting shaft 54 provided at the rotating end of the support lever 52.
In addition, a closing rotational force is always applied by the spring 72. And the disk 6 is a turntable 5
When the support lever 52 is slightly rotated with the return of the ejection member 8 to separate the disk guide 70 from the disk 6 after the insertion of the main body 1, the extended ends 73 of the two split guides 71 are moved to the rear of the main chassis 1. The two split guides 71 are opened against the spring 72 against the side plate 1a.

When the disk guide 70 has such a configuration, the disk guide 70 can be relatively far away from the disk 6 by slightly moving the connecting shaft.

Next, a fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. This embodiment is also a modification of the disk guide, and FIG. 13 is a schematic plan view showing a part of the disk guide in cross section. Also in this embodiment, the same portions as those of the above-described three embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description is omitted.

In the figure, reference numeral 80 denotes a disk guide divided into two parts, left and right. The two divided guides 81 are rotatably connected to a connecting shaft 54 provided at the rotating end of the support lever 52. Unlike the third embodiment, the split guide 81 is always supplied with a turning force in the opening direction by a spring 82. Each of these divided guides 81 is
3 is kept closed by contacting the left and right side plates 2 of the main chassis 1, but after the disk 6 is inserted up to the turntable 5, the support lever 52 is slightly moved with the return of the eject member 8. When the disk guide 80 is rotated to separate from the disk 6, the rotating ends 83 of the two divided guides 81 fall into openings 84 formed in the left and right side plates 2 of the main chassis 1, and the two divided guides 81 82 opens it.

When the disk guide 80 has such a structure, the disk guide 80 can be largely separated from the disk 6 irrespective of the amount of movement of the connecting shaft 54.

When a portion of the disk guide in the second, third, and third embodiments that contacts the disk is formed of a friction material, the disk guide can be removed when the disk guide comes into contact with the disk. The braking effect can be further enhanced. Further, the pushing operation of the ejecting member 8 may be performed not by hand but by a motor force.

[0043]

As described above, according to the disk reproducing apparatus of the present invention, the disk is inserted by hand until the end, and the disk is taken out by the disk push-back member or the disk guide. Become. In addition, since the disc is guided on the turntable by the disc guide and the disc guide and the clamper are linked, a setting mechanism for holding the disc on the turntable is not required, and a means for driving these mechanisms is not necessary. It becomes unnecessary. Therefore, the configuration is simple and small, and the manufacturing cost can be greatly reduced.
