Further, the ejector arm 9 and the spacer arm 25 abut against each other at the abutment portion 9a and the abutment portion 25a and are locked so that they do not rotate more than a predetermined angle. The interval (to be described later) is at least secured between each other. This point will be described in detail when the disk cartridge loading / unloading operation is described.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the end 31 of the ejector arm 9 is in contact with the power motor start switch 32 at the position of the ejector arm 9 in a state where the disk cartridge can be inserted. Further, the end 33 of the second spacer arm 25 is in contact with the power motor stop switch 34. At this time, since the power motor start switch 32 is turned on when the pressure is released from the state pressed by the ejector arm 9, the ejector arm 9 rotates in the arrow P direction from the state shown in FIG. It is turned on when That is, the power motor activation switch 32 activates the power motor 56 when the disk cartridge is inserted to some extent by the user and the ejector arm 9 rotates to some extent when the disk cartridge is loaded. The power motor stop switch 34 stops the power motor 56 when pressed. That is, the power motor stop switch 34 is for stopping the power motor 56 when the ejector arm 9 rotates in the direction of the arrow Q when the disk cartridge is unloaded and the state becomes as shown in FIG.

-Disc cartridge misinsertion prevention structure Here, disc cartridge misinsertion prevention is described.
16 and 17 are plan views showing a state in which the disc cartridge is properly inserted, and FIGS. 18 and 19 are plan views showing a state in which the disc cartridge is inserted in the wrong direction.
In these figures, reference numeral 70 denotes a cartridge insertion detection unit that contacts a switch (not shown) by rotating in the direction of arrow K in FIG. 16, and this cartridge insertion detection unit 70 is indicated by hatching in each figure. Reference numeral 71 denotes a contact portion that contacts the disk cartridge of the cartridge insertion detection unit 70, and 72 denotes a pin that becomes the center of rotation of the cartridge detection unit 70.

  When the cartridge detection unit 70 is properly inserted, the tip 71 of the cartridge detection unit 70 comes into contact with the cartridge as shown in FIGS. 16 and 17 and rotates in the direction of arrow K about the pin 72. As a result, the cartridge detection switch operates. When the cartridge is erroneously inserted in the vertical direction (that is, in the wrong direction) as shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, the tip 71 does not contact the cartridge and the detection switch does not operate. If the detection switch is not activated, the power motor 56 is not activated. Therefore, when the disk cartridge is inserted in the wrong direction, the disk cartridge loading operation is not performed.

  Reference numeral 74 denotes a mistaken insertion preventing claw provided on the slider 14, and as shown in FIG. 17, when a disc cartridge is inserted in a normal direction, the groove 75 provided on the disc cartridge If the disc cartridge is inserted in the wrong direction, as shown in FIG. 19, the disc cartridge cannot move to the left side in the drawing from the erroneous insertion preventing claw 74 because there is no groove to be stuck. . Therefore, if the disc cartridge is inserted in the wrong direction, the disc cartridge cannot be moved to the left side in the drawing, that is, toward the cartridge detection unit 70 by the erroneous insertion prevention claw 74, so that the cartridge detection unit 70 is rotated. It is something that cannot be made to do.

[Floating base lock mechanism]
9 is a plan view showing the floating base locking mechanism, FIG. 10 is a side view seen from the direction of arrow R in FIG. 9, and FIG. 11 is a side view seen from the direction of arrow S in FIG. 25 is a plan view showing the floating base lock mechanism, FIG. 26 is a side view seen from the direction of arrow R in FIG. 25, and FIG. 27 is a side view seen from the direction of arrow S in FIG.
In these drawings, reference numeral 35 denotes a lock arm that rotates with a shaft passing through a hole 36 provided on the side surface of the chassis 24 as a support shaft, and 37 denotes a slide plate for locking the floating base 21. The plate 37 is provided with bending portions 41 and 42 that slide while engaging with the grooves 38 and 39 provided on the side surface of the chassis 24, and can slide back and forth with respect to the chassis 24. Further, the slide plate 37 locks the floating base 21 by a spring 45 engaged between the bent portion 43 of the slide plate 37 and the cut-and-raised portion 44 of the chassis 24 (in the direction of arrow T in FIG. 10). ).

Similarly, the other slide plate 50 provided on the opposite side of the floating base 21 has its bent portions 52 and 251 slidably engaged with the grooves 51 and 250 of the chassis 24, thereby allowing the slide plate 50 to slide. Is also slidable back and forth with respect to the chassis 24. Further, a spring 48 is engaged between a bent portion 46 provided on the slide plate 50 and a cut-and-raised portion 47 of the chassis 24. However, the slide plate 50 is urged by the spring 48 in the direction in which the floating base 21 is unlocked (the direction of arrow I in FIG. 11). That is, the slide plate 37 and the slide plate 50 are biased in the direction in which the floating base 21 is locked and the direction in which the lock is released, respectively.
As a result, the driving force required for the rotating cam 55 that drives the slide plates 37 and 50 is the same when locked and unlocked, and the driving force required for the rotating cam 55 is approximately the same. Can be constant. Therefore, the pins 85 and 96 can smoothly slide in the grooves 86 and 97 of the rotating cam 55, and the maximum driving force required for the power motor 56 can be reduced.

[Pickup feed mechanism]
12 shows a state in which the pickup 59 is attached to the floating base 21, FIG. 12 (a) is a bottom view, and FIG. 12 (b) is a side view.
In these drawings, a turntable 60 is provided in the center of the floating base 21. The turntable 60 is for supporting and rotating the disk in the disk cartridge, and is rotated by a motor 61 provided on the lower surface of the floating base 21. A pickup 59 is provided in the cutout portion 21a of the floating base 21. The pickup 59 is slidably supported by guide shafts 62 and 63, and a shaft 66 that rotates using a motor 65 as a drive source. The guide 64 is screwed into the groove. When the shaft 66 rotates, the guide portion 64 moves on the shaft 66, and the pickup 59 moves back and forth in the radial direction of the disk mounted on the turntable 60.

[Power motor peripheral mechanism]
FIG. 13 is a plan view showing the periphery of the power motor 56 that rotates the rotary cam 55.
In this figure, a worm 57 press-fitted into a power motor 56 erected on a motor base 54 fixed to the chassis 24 is connected to reduction gears 58a, 58b, 58c, 58d, and meshes with the rotary cam 55 at the final stage. is doing. That is, the driving force is transmitted from the power motor 56 to the rotating cam 55 through the reduction gear 58 via the worm 57. Then, the rotating cam 55 to which the driving force is transmitted rotates to slide the pin 78 along the driving groove 79 formed by the ejector arm 9 and the spacer arm 25, and the groove 86 formed in the rotating cam 55. And 97, the pins 85 and 96 are slid.

Next, the operation of each mechanism of the disk device will be described.
[Disc cartridge loading operation]
When the disc cartridge is inserted First, in the state where the disc cartridge is inserted into the disc device but not yet carried in as shown in FIG. 4, the pin 20 of the ejector arm 9 is inserted into the groove 10 having both walls of the slider 14. It is in contact with the inner wall of the groove 10 at the inner position 10a. The slider 14 is biased by the helical reversing spring 67 so as to abut against the holder 7 in the direction of the arrow U, and the backlash of the slider 14 is suppressed.

  Further, in order to prevent the holder 7 at the cartridge discharge position from being deformed by being pushed by the stepped upper portion 7b and being unable to insert the cartridge into the holder 7 when in the state shown in FIG. When the stepped portion 7b is pressed, the force is transmitted to the holder arm 1 combined with the holder 7 so that the holder 7 rotates in the cartridge mounting direction with the pins 3 and 23 as rotation axes, and the cut-and-raised portion 4 of the holder arm 1 is a spring. 6 is bent in the clockwise direction against the urging force of the arm portion 6a to be in a state as shown in FIG. 33, so that the force holding the stepped portion 7b is absorbed. That is, the side arm 2 and the holder arm 1 are structured to absorb the force that holds the stepped portion 7a.

Here, a structure for preventing the slider 14 from coming into contact with the turntable 60 and the pickup 59 will be described.
FIG. 14 is a side view showing a state in which a convex portion is provided on the slider, and FIG. 15 is a side view showing a state in which the convex portion is provided on the slider hook. Here, as shown in FIG. 14, the convex portion 14 a formed on the slider 14 comes into contact with the floating base 21. The slider 14 comes into contact with the turntable 60 and the pickup 59, and the turntable 60. In addition, the pickup 59 is prevented from malfunctioning.
Further, as shown in FIG. 15, a protrusion 69 b may be provided on the slider hook 69.

When the disk cartridge is inserted into the holder 7 from when the disk cartridge is inserted to when the switch 32 is turned on, the guide hole of the disk cartridge engages with the bent portion 69a of the slider hook 69 attached to the holder 7, and when the disk cartridge is further pushed in, the slider 14 moves to the disk. The cartridge is pushed by the cartridge and slides along the guide grooves 18 and 19 of the holder 7. In conjunction with the movement of the slider 14, the ejector arm 9 moves around the shaft 26 so that the pin 20 at the tip of the ejector arm 9 moves in the direction of arrow E in FIG. 4 along the groove 10 of the slider 14. Rotate. When the ejector arm 9 rotates, the end portion 31 of the ejector arm 9 moves away from the state in contact with the switch 32, and the switch 32 is turned on.

When the switch 32 is turned on from when the switch 32 is turned on to when the shutter is opened, the power motor 56 is started, and the rotating cam 55 is rotated clockwise (in the direction of arrow V in FIG. 4) by the rotational force of the power motor 56. As a result, the pin 78 rotates about the pin 77, the ejector arm 9 rotates counterclockwise, the slider 14 slides, and the disk cartridge moves. As the disc cartridge moves, the shutter opener 11 also moves. The end 8a of the claw 8 of the shutter opener 11 comes into contact with the surface 73a of the hole 73 of the holder 7, and the sliding of the shutter opener 11 stops. . Then, the disk cartridge is moved so that the claw 8 of the shutter opener 11 slides in the guide groove of the disk cartridge, whereby the shutter of the disk cartridge is opened.

  Thus, since the shutter opener 11 slides with respect to the holder 7, the moving amount of the disc cartridge relative to the holder 7 can be increased by the moving amount of the shutter opener 11. That is, the disc cartridge can move relative to the claw 8 of the shutter opener 11 not only by the sliding width of the shutter but also by the amount of movement of the shutter opener 11. As a result, the disk cartridge carry-in start position can be moved closer to the insertion port side with respect to the holder 7, and the amount of insertion of the disk cartridge by the user can be reduced. In other words, when the disc cartridge is ejected, the width that comes out from the disc insertion slot can be increased. This makes it easier for the user to insert the disc cartridge, and to remove it when the disc cartridge is ejected.

From the shutter opening to the completion of loading When the pin 15 integrated with the slider 14 comes into contact with the end 18a of the guide groove 18 of the holder 7 and the sliding of the slider 14 stops, the slopes of the slide plate 37 and the side arm 2 The contact with the portion 2 a is released, and the holder 7 is lowered together with the slider 14. Further, the pin 78 further rotates and moves along the groove 31 formed by the ejector arm 9 and the spacer arm 25, whereby the ejector arm 9 and the slider 14 are separated from each other. Then, the slide plates 37 and 50 are slid, the floating base 21 is unlocked, and the floating base 21 is in a vibration-resistant state held by the elastic member, and the loading is completed. When the loading is completed, the ejector arm 9 is located sufficiently away from the floating base 21, so that even if the floating base 21 is displaced with respect to the chassis 24 due to vehicle vibration or the like, the ejector arm 9 is moved to the floating base 21 or slider. 14 will not collide.

Further, the stop switch 102 is pushed by the plate convex portion 50a of the slide plate 37, the stop switch 102 is turned on, the power motor 56 is stopped, and the loading operation is completed.
At this time, as shown in FIG. 20, the holder 7 is pressed against the floating base 21 together with the holder arm 1 by the urging force of the spring 82 suspended on the cut-and-raised portion 80 of the holder arm 1 and the cut-and-raised portion 81 of the floating base 21. Thus, the play of the holder 7 is suppressed.
Further, by making the engaging portion 79a of the driving groove 79 provided in the rotating cam 55 engage with the diameter of the pin 78, the ejector arm 9 and the spacer arm 25 are biased by the biasing force of the spring 29. By pinching the pin 78 fixed to the rotating cam 55, the ejector arm 9 and the spacer arm 25 are fixed to the rotating cam 55 via the pin 78, so that no rattling occurs. .

[Disc cartridge operation]
In the disk cartridge unloading operation, when the user presses the eject button, the power motor 56 rotates in the direction opposite to that during the loading operation, and the unloading operation is achieved by the reverse operation of the above-described disk cartridge loading operation. .

  Here, as shown in FIGS. 21, 22, and 23, the pin 20 of the ejector arm 9 is engaged with the groove 10 of the slider 14 by providing the slider hook 69 constituting the groove 10 with a bent portion 69 b. Even if it tries to move (shown in FIG. 22), the bent portion 69b of the slider hook 69 that is pushed by the pin 20 and attached to the opening 10b of the groove portion 10 rotates in the direction of arrow F, Enters the groove 10 and the pin 20 and the groove 10 of the slider 14 are engaged as shown in FIG.

  Further, in FIG. 24, a guide portion 69c is provided on the slider hook 69 so that the pin 20 is easily guided by the guide portion 69c and easily comes into contact with the bent portion 69c, whereby the pin 20 is easily engaged with the groove 10. It is.

[Floating base lock and release]
When the rotating cam 55 rotates clockwise from the state where the floating base 21 is locked as shown in FIG. 9, the pin 85 of the link 84 moves along the groove 86 of the rotating cam 56. As a result, the link 84 rotates about the shaft 87 as a support shaft, and the slide plate 37 engaged with the end portion 88 moves in the direction of arrow G in FIGS. By this movement, the convex portion 90 moves along the cam groove 89 provided in the slide plate 37, and the lock arm 35 rotates in the direction of arrow H in FIG. By the movement of the slide plate 37 and the lock arm 35, the pin 3 and the pin 94 of the floating base 21 are separated from the lock groove 91 and the lock groove 92, respectively, and the lock is released.

  Further, when the pin 96 of the link 95 moves along the groove 97 of the rotary cam 55 in synchronization with the link 84, the slide slate 50 moves in the direction of arrow I in FIGS. 9 and 11, and the lock arm 49 is moved. 11, the pin 98 and the pin 99 are separated from the lock groove 100 and the lock groove 101 by the movement of the slide plate 50 and the lock arm 49, respectively, and the lock is released.

  At this time, as described above, the springs 45 and 48 are urged in the lock direction and the unlock direction in the slide plates 37 and 49, respectively, so that the unlocking operation force can be reduced.

Floating base locking is the reverse of the unlocking operation described above.
At this time, as in the case of unlocking, the operating force of the lock can be reduced by the difference in the biasing direction of the spring.

Embodiment 2. FIG.
28 and 29 show the second embodiment. FIG. 28 is a sectional view and FIG. 29 is a plan view.
The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that when the pin 20 of the ejector arm 9 described in the cartridge unloading operation is moved without being engaged with the groove portion 10 of the slider 14, the pin 20 is The configuration for engaging with the groove 10 is different. Here, components having the same configuration as in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted.

  In these drawings, reference numeral 201 denotes a spring engaged between a cut-and-raised portion 69d of the slider hook 69 and a cut-and-raised portion 202a of a slide plate 202 (described later). A slide plate 202 is slidably provided in the groove 10 of the slider 14 and is urged toward the slider hook 69 by a spring 201. Even if the ejector arm 9 tries to move without engaging with the groove 10 during the disk cartridge unloading operation, the slide plate 202 slides due to the pin 20 coming into contact with the guide portion 202b of the slide plate 202, as shown in FIG. As shown, an opening 200 is formed, and the pin 20 enters the groove 10 from the opening 200, and the pin 20 and the groove 10 engage with each other. After the pin 20 is engaged with the groove 10, the slide plate 202 is returned to the original position by the spring 201, and the opening 200 is blocked.

Embodiment 3 FIG.

It is the side view seen. The third embodiment is partially different from the first embodiment described above in the floating base locking mechanism. Here, components having the same configuration as in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted.

  In these drawings, in the lock mechanism of the floating base 21, a slide plate 203 that engages the lock pin 23 is connected to the drive link 95. When the slide plate 203 slides, the slide plate 205 that engages another lock pin 99 via the link plate 204 slides in the opposite direction to the slide plate 203.

  In this way, all of the drive link 95, the slide plate 203, the link plate 204, and the slide plate 205 are rattled by the pulling spring 206 that constantly biases the slide plate 205 at the farthest part from the drive link 95 in the same direction. It is designed to prevent chatter.

  In each of the embodiments, a portion for driving a locking member and a portion for driving a member for inserting and ejecting a disk cartridge are provided in the fixed chassis, and the chassis for driving the insertion and ejection of the disk cartridge is provided. The drive arm is pivotally attached to the chassis. The drive arm engages with the slider when the disk cartridge is inserted and ejected. The drive arm moves away from the slider when the disk cartridge moves up and down and during recording and playback. Can be supported by only the elastic body to form a vibration-resistant structure, and at this time, the drive arm abuts against the floating base and vibration does not occur.

  Further, the width of the end of the drive groove between the drive arm and the spacer arm is made narrower than the thickness of the pin of the rotating cam, and the pin is clamped by the biasing force of the spring provided between the arms, so that It can prevent rattling and chatter.

  In addition, since the groove that engages the convex part of each arm that drives the slide plate on both sides that locks the floating base is provided in the same rotary cam, the synchronization of the slide plate is eliminated, and the lock and lock of the floating base are eliminated. The release operation can be performed smoothly.

  Also, by providing a spring that urges one slide plate and a spring that urges the other slide plate in the opposite direction, the slide plate slides in either the locking direction or the unlocking direction. Since the change of the driving force required for the movement can be reduced, the sliding of the slide plate can be made smooth and the required driving force can also be reduced.

  In addition, the slide plate on one side is composed of two plates, and the two plates are interlocked so as to slide in the opposite direction by the link plate, so that the two lock pins provided on the one side are respectively reversed from the opposite direction. By fixing, the fixing of the floating base can be ensured.

  In addition, a cartridge erroneous insertion prevention pawl provided so as to protrude inward from the slider, a switch lever provided on the holder at a position behind and outside the tip of the erroneous insertion prevention pawl, and a rotation of the switch lever By installing a switch that detects the normal insertion of a disk cartridge by movement, it is possible to detect an erroneous insertion of the disk cartridge. Therefore, if the erroneously inserted disk cartridge is carried in by a power motor, the device will break down. It is something that will not end up.

  In addition, since a shutter opener having a protrusion for opening the shutter of the disk cartridge and slidably supported by the holder in the direction of inserting and ejecting the disk cartridge is provided, the disk cartridge slides relative to the holder by the sliding amount of the shutter opener. Since the moving distance can be increased and the portion exposed from the holder when the disc cartridge is ejected can be increased, the user can easily take out the disc cartridge.

  Further, since the holder arm can be rotated to the floating base and the holder can be rotated to the holder arm, the holder can be smoothly moved up and down with respect to the floating base with a simple configuration. is there.

  In addition, the holder arm is provided with a round hole having a notch in at least a direction that is not in the cassette cartridge insertion direction, and a protrusion that protrudes substantially horizontally from the holder, and the protrusion is wider than the notch of the holder arm. The wide part and the narrow part are provided, the narrow part is inserted into the cutout part, and then rotated to engage the wide part with the cutout to prevent it from coming off, The assembly process of the holder arm and the holder can be simplified.

  Also, when the floating base is locked, the side arm is fixed in contact with the slide plate, but the holder arm is pivotally engaged with the side arm by a spring, so that when the disc cartridge is inserted, it is moved vertically. When inserted from a deviated direction, it is possible to prevent the holder from being tilted up and down and distorted.

  In addition, since the convex portion is provided on the floating base side of the slider or slider hook, even if the slider is in the ejected position and in the sliding state, even if the disk cartridge is inserted obliquely on the floating base side and the holder moves downward, the convex portion of the slider Since the part abuts on the floating base, it can be prevented that the part abuts on the turntable and the optical pickup.

  In addition, an opening provided on one wall of the groove portion with which the drive arm of the slider engages and an elastic member provided on the opening are provided, and the drive arm is not engaged with the groove portion in the disk cartridge unloading direction. When moved, the elastic member rotates by being pushed by the drive arm to open the opening, the drive arm enters the groove, and then the opening is closed again so that the drive arm is engaged with the groove. By combining, the drive arm is surely accommodated in the groove portion, so that the slider cannot be moved because the drive arm is not engaged with the groove portion during loading.

  Moreover, a guide convex part is provided in the opening part of a groove part, and it can be engaged more reliably by a drive arm engaging with this guide convex part.

  In addition, a slide plate is provided at the opening of the groove, and a spring that biases the slide plate is provided. Even when the drive arm is not engaged with the groove during unloading, the slide plate slides, It can be engaged with the groove.
