いる。
また、支持機構４４００は、第１スペーサ４４１０の上段に配設され、当接することによりディスクを下方に押さえる板バネ部（図示していないが、第１板バネ部４４２０と同じもの）が固着されており、この板バネ部と第１スペーサ４４１０の第１支持部４４１１とでディスクを挟持する上部押さえ部材４４３０を設けている。この上部押さえ部材４４３０は、第１スペーサ４４１０や第１板バネ部４４２０と同様に、略中央孔が形成されており、この略中央孔の内周縁部に等間隔に３つの突起部４４３２〜４４３４を設けており、この上部押さえ部材４４３０も上記した第１スペーサ４４１０と同様に、突起部４４３２〜４４３４は第１ガイド部材４１１０の溝部４１１２〜４１１４と第３ガイド部材の溝部４３３２〜４３３４とに摺動自在に嵌合可能に配設されており、第１ガイド部材４１１０と第３ガイド部材の回動動作に基づいて、上部押さえ部材４４３０が回動軸方向に移動するようになっている。
なお、スペーサがディスクを支持する際、そのスペーサ直上の板バネ部がディスクをスペーサ側に押圧するよう付勢する（例えば、第３スペーサにディスクを載置している場合は直上である第２板バネ部材が第３スペーサにディスクを押圧する）ので、ディスクがよりしっかりと支持（保持）されるようになっている。
第１板バネ部４４２０の延設部４４２１〜４４２４は、延設する方向を全て同じ、即ち、第１０２図においては、右手方向から左手方向に延設するようにしている。なお、第１１２図に示すように、各板バネ部は軸部に対して対向する板バネ同士の対角線の交点が軸心となるように形成した方が重心が安定するため、このような形状にした方が望ましい。
ここで、装置下部に配置される機構の外観は、第１０４図、第１０５図に示すとおりであり、第１０４図は第３ガイド部材４２３０が第２ホルダー４２１０内に収納されている状態を示し、第１０５図は第３ガイド部材が第２ホルダー４２１０から上方にせせり上がり、突出部４２５０が上方に突出した状態を示している。また、第１０６図は第１０５図に示す状態から第１芯棒機構４１００を見た要部拡大図である。また、第１０６図は突起部４２５０が第１ガイド部材４１１０と連結する状態遷移を示した状態遷移図であり、（１）は第３ガイド部材４２３０が第２ホルダー４２１０内に収納されている状態であり、ディスクの収納や交換指令を受けると、（２）に示すように軸部材４２２０が回動して第３ガイド部材４２３０が上方にせせり上がり始め、この動作に応じて突出部４２５０も第３ガイド部材４２３０との係止が外れ、バネ４２４０の付勢力により上方に突出する。さらに（３）に示すように軸部材４２２０が回動し、第３ガイド部材４２３０が上方にせせり上がり、突出部４２５０が第１ガイド部材４１１０の下面に形成された嵌合部に嵌合する。この嵌合の後、（４）に示すように第３ガイド部材４２３０がさらにせせり上がり第１ガイド部材４１１０と連結される。なお、ディスク収納機構４００は、第１１０図（１）に示すように搬送されたディスクを収納する場合、搬送されてきたディスクをディスク保持機構２００で保持する。次に、第１１０図（２）に示すようにディスク保持機構を上昇させ、保持しているディスクを最上段の支持機構４４００に上方に付勢するよう当接させた後、第１１０図（３）に示すように第３ガイド部材４３３０を上方にせせり上げて第１ガイド部材４１１０に当接するように構成されている。また、上段から２枚目に収納されたディスクを収納機構から取り出す際は、第１１１図（１）（２）に示すように、取り出す対象となるディスクを所定位置までディスク収納機構により上昇させた後、第１１１図（３）に示すように２枚目のディスクをディスク保持機構２００で保持した後、第１１１図（４）に示すようにディスク保持機構２００でディスクを保持したまま、第３ガイド部材４３３０を下降させる。このように、ディスク収納機構４００は、第３ガイド部材４３３０を第１ガイド部材４１１０に連結させる際、最上段の支持機構に押し当てた状態で第３ガイド部材４３３０を上昇させ第１ガイド部材４１１０と連結させる。一方、ディスク収納機構４００に収納されたディスクを取り出す際、ディスク保持機構２００が通常配置される位置の高さまでディスク収納機構４００がディスクの高さを持ち上げて、ディスクを保持し、取り出すように構成している。
次に、第１１５図〜第１１７図を用いて駆動機構について説明する。この第１１５図はディスク収納機構の動作を行う駆動機構を含む要部の構成を示す要部構成図、第１１６図は第１１５図の要部構成を示す要部構成図、第１１７図は第１１５図の要部裏面の構成を示す要部構成図である。
これらの図において、２４５は第１カムプレート２４０の裏面に取付けられた切換プレートであり、この切換プレート２４５は、後述する第１レバー５０１に形成された当接部５０１ａが当接していない際は、通常動作（ディスク挿入後に再生動作を行う動作モード）として、ディスク保持機構２００が搬送されたディスクを保持し、この保持したディスクを再生動作させるため、ディスク保持機構２００の高さはディスク待機時、ディスク保持時、ディスク再生時、ともに通常位置であり、即ち、ディスク保持機構の高さは変わることなく、ディスク保持機構の収納動作のみを行う第１動作モードで設定され、一方、当接部５０１ａが第１レバー５０１に当接した際は、搬送されたディスクをディスク収納機構４００に収納する動作モードかディスク収納機構４００に収納されていたディスクを交換する動作モードとして、即ち、ディスクの収納動作の際は、ディスク保持機構２００のディスク保持動作を継続したまま、ディスク保持機構２００の高さを上方に持ち上げて支持機構４４００に当接するよう高くさせるため、ディスク保持機構２００の高さを高い位置に保ったまま、ディスク保持機構２００を収納させる動作が必要となり、この動作を行う第２動作モードで設定されるように構成されている。この設定は、ディスク収納機構４００を上下で分割するよう構成され、上方の芯棒機構の下端、即ち、下方の芯棒機構と当接する箇所にディスクと当接するスペーサが配設されているため、ディスク搬送路の高さをスペーサのある高さにするとディスクが直接当接してしまいディスクが損傷する問題があり、この問題を解決するために、ディスク搬送路の高さとディスク収納時の高さとを異ならせたことで必要となった。
次に、５０１は一端に第１カムプレート２４０の裏面に取付けられたプレート２４５の一部に当接する当接部５０１ａを形成し、軸部５０１ｂを軸として回動可能な第１レバーであり、この第１レバー５０１の他端にはピン５０１ｃが形成されている。この第１レバー５０１の回動動作により、切換プレート２４５に当接部５０１ａを当接させずに第１動作モードにてディスク保持機構２００を動作させるか、当接させて第２動作モードにてディスク保持機構２００を動作させる。５０２は第１レバー５０１のピン５０１ｃが摺動可能に嵌合される溝部５０２ａを形成した第１ギア、５０３は第１ギア５０２に噛合する第２ギア、５０４は第２ギア５０３に噛合する第３ギアであり、この第３ギア５０４はディスク収納機構４００の軸部材４２２０と噛合している。また、５０５は第１ギア５０２に噛合するプレートであり、このプレート５０５の一部にはスイッチとの当接部が形成されている。このように構成されていることにより、第１カムプレート２４０をＡ方向に移動すると、第１カムプレート２４０に取り付けられたプレート２４５が第１レバー５０１の当接面５０１ａと当接し、回動する。この回動動作により第１ギア５０２、第２ギア５０３、第３ギア５０４も連動して回動動作し、第３ギア５０４と噛合する軸部材４２２０が回動動作し、ディスク収納機構を動作させる。また、第１ギア５０２の回動によりプレート５０５も回動動作する。
また、５１０は筐体左側側面に配置される第４カムプレートであり、一端で第２カムプレート２５０とリンク部（図示せず）を介してリンクし、他端には保持アーム２９０の上下移動が可能なように保持アーム２９０の一部を保持している。この構成により、第２カムプレート２５０の移動に連動して第４カムプレート５１０も移動し、この移動力によって保持アーム２９０の高さを高くセットするか低くセットするよう移動させる。
さらに、５２１は第２シャフト２３４に設けられたギア部２３７と噛合する第４ギアであり、この第４ギア５２１は第２カムプレート２５０の移動に応じて回動する。また、５２２は一端が第４ギア５２１と噛合するリンクプレートであり、このリンクプレート５２２の他端は第５ギア５２３と噛合し、この第５ギア５２３と保持アーム２９０の軸部２９１に当接された第６ギア（図示せず）と噛合している。この構成により、第２カムプレート２５０の移動に連動して第４ギア５２１、リンク部５２２を介し保持アーム２９０が回動動作を行う。従って、ディスク保持機構である保持部２１１と保持アーム２９０の回動動作及び高さ規制の動作が各々同期でき、的確なディスク保持及び保持解除を行うことができるものである。
この駆動機構５００の動作について説明すると、まず、ディスクが再生位置に設定されている状態（再生していない状態）は第１１５図に示すとおりであり、保持部２１１と保持アーム２９０とで保持している。この際の要部上面の詳細図は第１１６図、要部下面の詳細図は第１１７図に示すとおりである。この際、ディスク収納機構４００は第１ガイド部材４１１０と第３ガイド部材４３３０とは分割された状態となっている。次に、第１１８図に示すようにディスク保持機構２００を上昇させて第３ガイド部材４３３０を上方にせせり上げて第１ガイド部材４１１０と連結させるよう第２カムプレート２５０をＡ方向に移動させるため、第４ギア５２１がＢ方向に回動し、この回動によりリンクプレート５２２がＣ方向に回動し、この回動により第５ギア５２３がＤ方向に回動し、この回動により保持アーム２９０がＥ方向に回動し、ディスクの保持を解除する。なお、保持部２１１は第２カムプレート２５０の移動とともに、第１カムプレート２４０もＡ方向に移動するため、上下ベース２８０に収納される。この際の要部上面の詳細図は第１１９図、要部下面の詳細図は第１２０図に示すとおりである。次に、第１２１図に示すように、ディスク収納機構４００の動作によりディスクの高さを設定しており、この際も、保持部２１１、保持アーム２９０ともにディスクの保持を解除したままとなっている。次に、第１２２図に示すように、ディスクの再生や交換を行う際は、対象となるディスクを保持するため、この対象となるディスクの高さで保持部２１１と保持アーム２９０とがディスクの周縁部を保持する。この際の要部上面の詳細図は第１２３図、要部下面の詳細図は第１２４図に示すとおりである。次に、第１２５図に示すように、ディスクをディスク収納機構から離脱させるため、保持部２１１と保持アーム２９０とによりディスクの周縁部を保持した状態のまま、第３ガイド部材４３３０を下降させてディスク収納機構でのディスク支持を解除する。この際の要部上面の詳細図は第１２６図、要部下面の詳細図は第１２７図であり、第１２７図の要部は、第１２８図に示すとおりである
次に、第１２９図〜第１３５図を用いて、ディスク収納機構の動作について、ディスクの高さを変更する際の原理について説明する。これらの図は、第１芯棒機構４１００と第３芯棒機構４３００とに形成された溝部についての説明図であり、これらの図は、回動軸方向に沿って展開した展開図である。ここでは、第１３１図と第１３４図を用いて説明すると、第１３１図は第１ガイド部材４５１０と第３ガイド部材４３３０とが分離された状態を示した図であり、第１３４図は第１ガイド部材４５１０と第３ガイド部材４３３０とが連結された状態を示した図である。ここで、第１３１図に示す第１ガイド部材４５１０と第３ガイド部材４３３０との分離状態は、ディスク搬入出動作を行う状態や、ディスクの再生動作を行う状態の場合に設定され（ディスク保持機構によりディスクが保持されている）、また、第１３４図に示す第１ガイド部材４５１０と第３ガイド部材４３３０との連結状態は、ディスク収納機構に収納されているディスクの高さを変える際に設定されるものである。なお、第１３１図においては、第１ガイド部材４５１０は上部押さえ部、第１、第２スペーサに形成された突起部が各溝部に遊嵌されており（●が各突起部の位置を示している）、第３ガイド部材４５３０は第３、第４、第５、第６スペーサに形成された突起部が各溝部に遊嵌されている。また、各溝部間の間隙については図に示したとおりである。第１３４図において、第３ディスクＲが動作対象ディスクとなっていることを示しており、また、第３ディスクＲを支持している第３スペーサの突起部４５５１、４５５２、４５５３を示している。このように構成したことによって、ディスク保持機構２００がディスク収納機構４００に収納されているディスクの中より指示されたディスクを保持する際、ディスク保持機構２００が保持するディスクＲに隣接するディスク間に侵入するため、ディスク保持機構２００が連接するディスクに接触しないようにするための防止策を取っているためである。
図において、第１ガイド部材４１１０、第３ガイド部材４３３０には、各々３本の溝部、即ち、第１ガイド部材４１１０には、４１１２、４１１３、４１１４が、第２ガイド部材４３３０には、４３３２、４３３３、４３３４が形成されており、これら溝部は、３本とも同じ形状であり、１２０°の位相差を付けて形成されており、ディスク収納機構４００が１２０°回動動作すると、ディスクの高さを１段上昇させる動作か１段下降させる動作かのどちらか一方の動作を行うようになっていることを意味している。ここで、図１３１図、第１３４図に示すように、第１ガイド部材４１１０の溝部は、第１溝部４１１２ａの右側端部が第１溝部４１１２ｂの左側端部に繋がっており、また第１溝部４１１２ｂの右側端部が第１溝部４１１２ｃの左側端部に繋がり１本の溝部となっている。また、第２溝部４３１３ａ〜４３１３ｃと、第３溝部４３１４ａ〜４３１４ｃとについても、上記した第１溝部４１１２ａと同様の構成になっているため、この説明を省略する。また、第３ガイド部材４３３０の溝部４３３２、４３３３、４３３４も上記した第１ガイド部材４１１０の第１溝部４１１２ａと同様の構成になっているため、この説明を省略する。
第１３１図に示す状態から第１３４図に示す状態に設定される際、即ち、第１ガイド部材４１１０と第３ガイド部材４３３０とが分離された状態から連結された状態にした後、動作対象となるディスクＲを一段上昇させる方向に所定角度回動し（第１、第３ガイド部材は反時計方向に回動していることになる）、第１３４図に示す位置に設定される。なお、第１３４図にする際は、ディスク保持機構２００が第１スペーサ、第２スペーサに対して押圧するように付勢した状態のまま第３ガイド部材４３３０がせせり上がるものであり、せせり上がった状態が第１３４図に示す状態である。
ここで、第２ガイド部材４２３０の溝部４２３１、４２３２、４２３３内部の第３ホルダー４３０１の突起部４３０２、４３０３、４３０４は、第３のガイド部材４３３０を回動可能な状態で保持する機能を有しており、第２ガイド部材４２３０が回動することにより、第１３１図から第１３４図に示す位置まで移動する（第１３１図の位置では第３ガイド部材４３３０の内部に第２ガイド部材４２３０が完全に遊嵌されて状態を示している）。
上記したように、第１ガイド部材４１１０と第３ガイド部材４３３０とを分離させる際のスペーサに形成された突起部の遊嵌位置は第１３１図に示す位置になり、一方、結合して動作対象となるディスクをディスク保持機構２００により支持及び退避にする際の突起部の遊嵌位置は第１３４図に示す位置になる。
即ち、第１ガイド部材４１１０と第３ガイド部材４３３０とを結合して動作対象となるディスクを選択可能にする際は、まず第１３４図に示す位置に動作し、その後、動作対象となるディスクをディスクＲの位置に設定する。このように動作させることにより、動作対象ディスクＲの１段上に位置するディスクが載置されたスペーサに取り付けられた板バネ部材が、動作対象ディスクＲを下方に押圧するため、動作対象ディスクＲがぐらつかないようにしっかりと押えられるようになっており、動作対象となるディスクＲをディスク保持機構２００の支持動作を行いやすくしている。
一方、第１ガイド部材４１１０と第３ガイド部材４３３０とを分離する際は、まず第１３１図に示すように結合されていた時に動作対象となるディスクＲの１段上方に位置するディスクを第３ガイド部材４３３０から第１ガイド部材４１１０の溝部に移動させるようにしている。
なお、１２９図は第１ディスクを挿入し、ディスク収納位置まで搬送された状態を示しており、この際、ディスク収納機構は上下の機構に分割している。第１３０図は第３ディスクを挿入し、ディスク収納位置まで搬送された状態を示しており、この際、第１２９図と同様に、ディスク収納機構は上下の機構に分割している。第１３１図は第３ディスクをディスク保持機構２００が保持し、上方の支持部材に押圧しながら当接、この例では、第３ディスクを上方に持ち上げて第２支持部材に当接させる。第１３２図は第３ディスクを収納するため、ディスク保持機構２００が上部へ押圧しながら、即ち、第２スペーサに対して第３ディスクを押圧しながら第３ガイド部材４３３０をせせり上げる。この際、突起部４２５０が上方に突出する。第１３３図は第３ガイド部材４３３０を第１ガイド部材４１１０に連結する際、まず突出部４２５０が第１ガイド部材４１１０の嵌合部に当接し嵌合される。これにより、第３ガイド部材４３３０と第１ガイド部材４１１０とが連結接続させる案内を行う。次に、第１３４図に示すように第３ガイド部材４３３０が第１ガイド部材４１１０と連結接続され、ディスクの収納動作が完了する。また、第１３５図は第６ディスクを選択した際の状態であり、第３ガイド部材の動作により、第６ディスクをディスク保持機構２００が保持する所定の高さまで持ち上げている。ここで、上記説明したその他の機構についての構成説明と動作の説明を行う。
＜７−１．ディスク収納機構の動作モード設定機構＞
第１３６図は、ディスク保持機構２００（第４７図に示す）の第２カムプレート２５０をＡ方向またはＢ方向へ移動させる駆動力を与える駆動機構６００の構成を示す構成図、第１３７図は第１３６図の駆動機構６００の要部構成を示す要部構成図、第１３８図は第１３６図の駆動機構６００の要部構成を示す要部構成図である。
これらの図において、６０１は第４７図に示したディスク保持機構２００の第２カムプレート２５０をＡ方向またはＢ方向に移動させるよう駆動力を発生する駆動モータ、６０２はこの駆動モータ６０１に取付けられたギア６０１ａと噛合して駆動モータ６０１の駆動力を回動動作として伝達する複数の径の異なるギアで構成されたギア連、６１０はギア連６０２に噛合してギア連６０２の回動動作に応じて回動するカムギア機構である。このカムギア機構６１０は第１３７図に示すよう構成されている。６１１は外周縁部にギア連６０２の噛合部と噛合する噛合部が形成されたカムギアであり、ギア連６０２の回動動作に連動して回動する。このカムギア６１１は、レバー６２１に形成した溝部６２１３内で摺動可能に嵌合される軸部６２１３が嵌合され、回動中心となる第１孔６１１１と、レバー６２１に設けられた第４ピン６２１２が摺動可能に嵌合されるカム溝６１１２と、カムレバー６１３に設けられた第２ピン６１３２が摺動可能に嵌合される第２孔６１１３と、カムレバー６１３に設けられた第１ピン６１３１を嵌合して固着し、カムレバー６１３の回動動作の軸心となる第３孔６１１４と、一端がカムレバー６１３の先端に取り付けられたバネ６１４の他端を取り付けるバネ係止部６１１５とから形成されている。６１２はカムプレートであり、レバー６２１に形成した溝部６２１３内で摺動可能に嵌合される軸部６２１３が嵌合され、回動中心となる第５孔６１２１と、レバー６２１に設けられた第４ピン６２１２が摺動可能に嵌合されるカム溝６１２２と、カムレバー６１３に設けられた第２ピン６１３２が摺動可能に嵌合される溝部６１２３と、ロックプレート６２２に形成された第１曲げ部６２２１が嵌合し係止される凹部６１２４とから形成されている。６１３はカムレバーであり、このカムレバー６１３は、カムギア６１１に形成された第３孔６１１４内に嵌合され固着される第１ピン６１３１と、カムギア６１１に形成された第２孔６１１３内に摺動可能に嵌合され、その上方でカムプレート６１２に形成された溝部６１２３内に摺動可能に嵌合される第２ピン６１３２と、ロックプレート６２２の移動により、ロックプレートに形成された第２曲げ部６２２２が上面を当接してカムレバーを移動させる第３ピン６１３３と、バネ６１４の一端が係止される係止部６１３４とが設けられている。６１４はバネであり、このバネ６１４の一端はカムレバー６１３に形成された係止部６１３４に係止され、他端がカムギア６１１に形成された係止部６１１５に係止されている。このバネ６１４の付勢力により、常時、カムレバー６１３に設けられた第２ピン６１３２が、カムギア６１１に形成された第２孔６１１３の外周側、即ち、カムギア６１１の外周側に向かって付勢されている。
６２１はレバーであり、軸心６２１１を中心に回動動作する。このレバー６２１には回動軸６２１１と、カムギア６１１に形成された第１カム溝６１１２内に摺動可能に嵌合され、その上方でカムプレート６１２に形成された第２カム溝６１２２内に摺動可能に嵌合される第４ピン６２１２と、溝部６２１３内で摺動可能に配置されるとともに、カムギア６１１に形成された第１孔６１１１に嵌合され、その上方でカムプレート６１２に形成された第５孔６１２１が嵌合される軸部６２１４と、第２カムプレート２５０に形成された孔２５１内に嵌合される他端に設けられたリンクピン６２１５とを設けている。
また、６２２はディスク再生動作の際は、ディスク再生機構３００を浮遊状態にし、再生動作以外の動作の際は、ディスク再生機構３００をロックするロックプレートであり、このロックプレート６２２には、カムレバー６１３に設けられた第３ピン６１３３の上面を当接する第１曲げ部６２２１と、カムプレート６１２に形成された凹部６１２４内に嵌合してカムプレート６１２の回動動作を固定、即ち、回動動作不能にする第２曲げ部６２２２と、レバー６２３に設けられた第１ピン６２３１を摺動可能に嵌合する溝部６２２３とを設けている。６２３はレバーであり、このレバー６２３はロックプレート６２２３に形成された溝部６２４２内で摺動可能に嵌合される第２ピン６２３２と、回動軸となる６２３３とを設けている。また、６２４はギア部であり、このギア部６２４は回動軸が嵌合される孔６２４１と、レバー６２３に形成された第２ピン６２３２が摺動可能に嵌合される溝部６２４２とを形成している。なお、第１３８図（ａ）はカムレバー６１３とカムギア６１１とカムプレート６１２とを組み立てて裏面から見た図である。また、第１３８図（ｂ）はロックプレート６２２とリンクする機構を示した構成図である。
次に、動作について説明すると、第１３６図はディスクの挿入待機状態を示しており、第１３９図（ａ）は第１３６図に示す状態のカムプレート６１２から見た要部状態図、第１３９図（ｂ）は第１３６図に示す状態のカムレバー６１３から見た、即ち裏面の要部状態図を示している。この状態の際は、ロックプレート６２２の第１曲げ部６２２１、第２曲げ部６２２２ともにカムプレート６１２、カムレバー６１３へのロックは解除されている。このため、レバー６２１に設けられた第４ピン６２１２がカムプレート６１２に形成された溝部６１２３の外周側に付勢するため、カムプレート６１２はカムギア６１１と同時に回動動作する。次に、第１４０図に示すように第１の動作モード（ディスク収納機構４００が分割された状態で、ディスク搬送待機状態）では、第１３６図に示す状態のまま、即ち、ロックプレート６２２の第１曲げ部６２２１、第２曲げ部６２２２ともにカムプレート６１２、カムレバー６１３へのロックは解除されているため、レバー６２１に設けられた第４ピン６２１２がカムプレート６１２に形成された溝部６１２３の外周側に付勢するため、カムプレート６１２はカムギア６１１と同時に回動動作する状態において、ディスクの搬送に基づき、駆動モータ６０１が駆動し、ギア連６０２が回動し、カムギア６１１が回動動作する。このため、カムギア６１１と同時にカムプレート６１２が回動する。また、これらカムギア６１１とカムプレート６１２との回動動作に連動し、レバー６２１がＡ方向に移動する。この移動により、第２カムプレート２５０をＢ方向に移動される。次に、第１４１図に示すように第２の動作モード（ディスク収納機構４００は分割された状態で、ディスク再生動作や保持動作モード）では、ロックプレート６２２の第１曲げ部６２２１がカムプレート６１２の凹部をロックするとともに、ロックプレート６２２の第２曲げ部６２２２の斜面がカムギア６１１に設けられた第３ピン６１３３に当接し、カムレバー６１３を時計方向に回動させる。この回動動作により第２ピン６１３２が、カムギア６１１に形成された第２孔６１１３の内側、即ち、カムギア６１１の中心側、またカムプレート６１２では溝部６１２３の内側、即ち、カムプレート６１２の中心側に付勢されてそれぞれ内壁面に当接する。これにより、カムプレート６１２に形成された溝部６１２３の中心側壁面に沿って第２ピン６１３２が移動し、第１の動作モードと異なる動作モードが行われる。なお、第１４２図（ａ）は第１４１図に示す状態のカムプレート６１２から見た要部状態図、第１４２図（ｂ）は第１４１図に示す状態のカムレバー６１３から見た、即ち裏面の要部状態図を示す。次に、第１４３図に示すように第３の動作モード（ディスク収納機構に収納されたディスクを交換するモード、即ち、ディスク収納機構４００が連結される状態）の際は、ロックプレート６２２の第１曲げ部６２２１がカムプレート６１２の凹部をロックするが、ロックプレート６２２の第２曲げ部６２２２の斜面とカムギア６１１に設けられた第３ピン６１３３との当接が解除される。このため、カムプレート６１２のみロックされているため、カムプレート６１２は回動せずにカムギア６１１のみ回動動作される。また、この状態の際は、カムプレート６１２がロックされているため、レバー６２１に設けられた第４ピン６２１２は移動せず、このため、レバー６２１は固定状態となっている。なお、第１４４図（ａ）は第１４３図に示す状態のカムプレート６１２から見た要部状態図、第１４４図（ｂ）は第１４３図に示す状態のカムレバー６１３から見た、即ち裏面の要部状態図を示す。

第１４５図は、ディスク再生機構３００をロックまたはロック解除を行うロック機構３３０と、このロック機構３３０の移動に応じてスイッチのオン／オフを行うスイッチ機構７００との関係を示した構成図、第１４６図は第１４５図に示す機構からフローティングデッキ部３５０を外した際の要部を示す構成図である。これら図を用いて構成及び動作について説明する。なお、１３６図と同一の機構については同一の符号をつけてその説明を省略する。７０１は駆動モータ６０１の駆動力がギア連６０２、カムギア部６１０により伝達されて回動動作を行うカムであり、このカム７０１には第１ロックプレート７０２に設けられた第１ピン７０２１を摺動可能に嵌合する溝部７０１１を形成している。７０２は第１ロックプレートであり、この第１ロックプレート７０２はカム７０１の回動動作に応じてカム７０１に形成された溝部７０１１内を摺動可能に嵌合される第１ピン７０２１と、一部にギアリンク７０３と噛合する噛合部７０２２とが設けられている。７０３は第１ロックプレート７０２に形成された噛合部７０２２と噛合するギアリンクであり、このギアリンク７０３は第２ロックプレート７０４に形成された噛合部７０４１とも噛合している。これにより、ギアリンク７０４を介して第１ロックプレート７０２が移動すると第２ロックプレート７０４が移動する。７０５は第１ロックプレート７０２の一部に形成された第１ロック部であり、この第１ロック部はディスク再生機構３００のロックを行う。７０６は第２ロックプレート７０４の一部に形成された第２ロック部であり、ディスク再生機構のロックを行う。７０７は第１ロックプレート７０２の一部に形成された第３ロック部であり、この第３ロック部７０７はディスク再生機構３００のロックを行う。７０８は第１ロックプレート７０２の一部に形成された凹部に一部が係合される第３ロックプレートであり、この第３ロックプレート７０８は第１ロックプレート７０２が移動する際、同時に同方向に移動する。７０９は第３ロックプレート７０８の一部に設けられたロックリンク、７１０は第３ロックプレート７０８の一部に形成された第４ロック部であり、この第４ロック部７１０もディスク再生機構３００のロックを行う。７１１、７１２は装置の動作状態を判断するために設けられた第１スイッチ、第２スイッチであり、これら第１スイッチ７１１、第２スイッチ７１２は第１ロックプレート７０２に形成された係止部７０２４に当接した際は、スイッチがオン状態となり、当接が解除された際はスイッチがオフ状態となる。ここで、第１ロックプレート７０２がＡ方向に移動すると第１スイッチ７１１はオン状態となり、Ｂ方向に移動すると第１スイッチ７１１はオフ状態となる。
次に動作について説明する。第１４５図、第１４６図はフローティングデッキ部３５０は第１ロック部７０５〜第４ロック部７１０にてロックされている状態、即ち、ディスク再生動作時以外の動作、例えばディスク待機状態やディスク交換状態を示しており、この際、第１スイッチ７１１、第２スイッチ７１２とも第１ロックプレート７０２の係止部７１２４と当接していないためオフ状態となっている。また、第１４７図は、この状態での第１ロックプレート７０２の状態を示した要部詳細図であり、第１４８図は右側面を示す側面図である。次に、ディスクの再生を行うために、フローティングデッキ部３５０のロック状態を解除する。この際の動作として駆動モータ６０１の駆動によりギア連６０２、カムギア部６１０を介してカム７０１が回動動作し、この回動動作に連動して第１ロックプレート７０５がＡ方向に移動し、ギアリンク７０３が回動し第２ロックプレート７０４がＢ方向に移動し第２ロック部７０６のロックを解除するとともに、第１ロックプレート７０２の移動に連動する第３ロックプレート７０８もＡ方向に移動し、ロックリンク７０９が回動動作を行うことでフローティングデッキ部３５０のロック状態が解除される。この状態となるまでの経過状態が第１４９図に示す状態である。この第１４９図に示すように第１ロックプレートがＡ方向に少し移動した状態であり、この際、第１スイッチ７１１がオン状態となっており、第２スイッチ７１２はオフのままである。この状態の際、フローティングデッキ部３５０のロック状態として第１ロック部７０５、第２ロック部７０６、第３ロック部７０７はＡ、Ｂ方向以外へのロックは継続されＡ、Ｂ方向へのロックのみ解除される、即ち、フローティングデッキ部３５０がＡ、Ｂ方向にのみ遥動することであるが、第４ロック部７１０がＡ、Ｂ方向へのロックをかけているために、全ての方向へのロックが継続されていることとなる。この状態の右側面図は第１５０図に示している。次に、駆動モータ６０１が駆動し、第１ロックプレートがさらにＡ方向に移動すると、第１５１図に示すように、第１ロック部７０５と第２ロック部７０６との間隔が短くなり、フローティングデッキ部３５０のロックを解除し浮遊状態にする。この際、ロック解除動作がまだ完了していないため、第１スイッチ７１１はオンされているが、第２スイッチ７１２はオフのままである。次に、第１５２図に示すように第１ロックプレート７０２がＡ方向への移動を完了、即ち、フローティングデッキ部３５０のロックが完全に解除された状態である。この際、第１スイッチ７１１はオンのままであり、さらに、第２スイッチ７１２が第１ロックプレート７０２に形成されていた係止部７０２４に当接しスイッチオン状態となる。即ち、フローティングデッキ部３５０が完全に浮遊状態（ロック解除状態）となった場合、第１スイッチ７１１と第２スイッチ７１２とがオン状態となり、ロック状態の際は、第１スイッチ７１１、第２スイッチ７１２ともオフ状態となる。第１５３図は、この状態の要部を示す要部構成図、第１５４図は第１５２図の右側面図である。

い。
これで、ディスク装置の一連動作が完了する。
従って、上記のように、ディスクの内径を用いて、ディスクの収納を行うよう構成したことにより、ディスクを収納する際、ディスクの記録面への当接動作を不要にできるので、ディスクの特に記録面の損傷を抑制でき、装置の信頼性が向上する。
また、上記のように構成したことにより、ディスクの径の大きさに関わりなく、どの種類（例えば１２ｃｍＣＤや８ｃｍＣＤ）のディスクでも対応できるので、装置の利便性が向上する。
また、ディスクの収納位置における軸心とディスクの再生位置における軸心とを一致するよう構成したので、軸心のずれがなく、ディスク交換等の動作における軸心を一致させる動作が不要となり、このため、処理時間を短縮することができる。
また、ディスク再生機構を回動方式にて構成したことにより、ディスクの径の大きさに関わらず、どの種類のディスクでの対応できるので、装置の利便性が向上する。
また、ディスク収納機構のスペーサに板バネ部材を取り付けたことにより、板バネ部材の押圧力により、ディスクの厚みにバラつきがあっても、ガタ付きを抑制することができ、装置の信頼性が向上する。
また、ディスク収納機構のスペーサに板バネ部材を取り付けたことにより、板バネ部材の押圧力により、スペーサにディスクが収納されていない箇所においても、ガタつきを抑制することができ、装置の信頼性が向上する。
また、ディスク再生機構の回動軸以外の箇所に係止される係止部を設けたことにより、ディスクを再生動作させる際、回動軸と係止部との２点支持を行うことができ、ディスク再生機構に設けられた防振機構の性能を向上させることができ、ディスク再生動作を安定させることができるので、装置の信頼性が向上する。
また、ディスク搬入出機構をディスクの搬入出方向に移動可能に構成したので、ディスク搬入待機状態の際、ディスクが設定される所定位置近傍までディスク搬入出機構を移動させることができ、小径ディスクの搬入を安定して装置内に搬入することができ、即ち、ディスクの径の種類に関わらず、的確にディスクを装置内に搬入することができるので、装置の信頼性が向上する。
また、各々のディスクを１枚ずつ単独の挿入や排出が自由に行えるので、操作者の利便性が向上する。
また、既存の構成部品で複数のスイッチが作動可能に構成したので、複数の動作モードを設定でき、構成部品を増加することなく、安価で多機能の装置を得ることができる。

実施の形態３．
次に、本発明の他の実施の形態３に係るディスク装置について、説明する。上記した実施の形態１では、動作モードの進行により移動動作される際、通常、切り換えられる動作モード間において徐々に切り換えるようにしているが、一括で切り換えるようにしても良く、同様の効果が得られる。

実施の形態５．
次に、本発明の他の実施の形態５に係るディスク装置について、説明する。上記した実施の形態１では、ディスクを装置内に挿入すると、ディスク搬入出機構１００がディスクを搬入し、ディスク保持機構２００がこのディスクを保持し、ディスク再生機構３００により、このディスクを再生するように設定されており、即ち、単にディスクを挿入した場合には、このディスクをそのまま再生するように設定されており、このように構成したことにより、使用者の利便性が向上する。
実施の形態６．
次に、本発明の他の実施の形態６に係るディスク装置について説明する。
上記した実施の形態１の構成においては、スペーサ部に板バネ部材を取り付けるように構成していたが、板バネ部材の代わりに圧縮バネを用いるようにしても良く、同等の効果が得られる。

次に、本発明の他の実施の形態７に係るディスク装置について説明する。上記した実施の形態１の構成においては、スペーサの嵌合部にディスクの内径を保持する板バネ部材より省スペースの保持手段を設けるように構成しても良く、このように構成することにより、ディスクの支持を強固に行え、ディスクへの外力等による揺れを少なくできるので、板バネ部材を省くことができ、装置の小型化を図ることができる。

It is a pair of inclined plate cams that act so that the above gap E is provided when the disk is moved in the surface direction.
Here, the disk rotation drive unit 20 includes a disk rotation motor 21, a disk clamp hub 22, a disk clamper 23, a drive lever 24, a disk 25, a disk roller 26, a driven roller 27, and an inclined plate cam 32.
Next, the operation will be described.
When calling any one of the plurality of disks 25 stored in the magazine 19, the magazine 19 is moved in the direction of arrow F in the figure by the driving means and positioned at a desired disk position in the magazine 19.
Then, the drive lever 24 in the magazine 19 is operated, the disk 25 slides on the disk guide part 35 in the magazine, and the tip of the disk 25 is engaged between the disk roller 26 and the driven roller 27 of the disk rotation drive part 20.

Further, as a disk device (in-dash disk device) having a mechanism for storing a disk inside the device, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-208361 has been proposed, and FIG. 177 is an overall configuration diagram showing the entire device. FIG. 178 is a main part configuration diagram showing the configuration of the main part in the apparatus.

FIG. 178 shows the main part inside the apparatus. The spacer group supported by the disk holding means is driven by the vertical driving means, and an arbitrary disk is selected from the disk group and recorded by the horizontal conveying means. The disk is transported to the reproduction position, the disk is prevented from being detached from the spacer on both spindles by the ascending return means, the disk is prevented from the spacer by the disk pressing means, and the spacer is detached from the lower spindle by the spacer releasing means. It is configured to prevent this.
Since conventional disk devices are configured as described above, those that are not in-dash type disk devices cannot be selectively inserted or removed one by one because of the need for a magazine case, and the size of the disk device increases. And the use of a portable magazine case, it is technically difficult to disassemble each storage shelf in which a disk is stored in the disk device. When the gap is made, only one end can be opened, and when the gap is enlarged, there is a problem that it is necessary to provide a space in the apparatus and the disk apparatus is also enlarged.
Further, since a portable magazine case is used, there is a problem that it is extremely difficult to divide each storage shelf in which a disk is stored in the disk device with an inclination for each storage shelf.
Further, in the conventional in-dash disk device, when the disk is held in the device, it is configured to be transported and held only by the rotational force of the roller that is the disk transport means until it reaches the disk holding portion from the disk insertion port. Therefore, when the disc is being transported, the disc is likely to become unstable, and in the worst case, the disc comes into contact with a member in the apparatus and is damaged.
Further, in the conventional in-dash type disk device, when the disk stored in the apparatus is replaced or when the disk is played back, when the disk is supported, that is, when the spacer for supporting the disk is fixed, A hole formed in the shaft portion at a predetermined position on the outer peripheral portion of the disk holding means for sliding the shaft portion after the shaft portion provided in the shaft and the shaft portion provided below are joined together Since it is configured to be more protruded and fixed, every time the disc is stored / replaced / reproduced, the claw portion must be protruded from the shaft portion or stored, and the operation time is increased. There was a problem that it took a lot.
Furthermore, in the conventional in-dash type disk device, a spacer is interposed between the customer disks, but the disk is not stable because the disk is unstable, and the disk tilts when vibration is applied to the device. As a result, there is a problem that the disk comes into contact with another disk and the disk is damaged.
Further, in the conventional disk device, in order to judge the operation content of the disk, it is necessary to provide a complicated switch mechanism, so that the assemblability is deteriorated and the number of parts such as the link mechanism is increased, so that the cost is increased. There was a problem of rising.
The present invention has been made to solve such a problem and accommodates a plurality of discs without a removable magazine and operates, that is, operations such as selectively carrying in, carrying out, or reproducing each disc. An object of the present invention is to obtain a disk device that can be reduced in size.
Another object of the present invention is to obtain a space-saving disk device by configuring the disk storage position and the disk reproduction position to be the same rotation axis with respect to the disk loading / unloading direction.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a disk device that can prevent damage to a disk by supporting a part of the disk with a plurality of support portions when the disk is carried in or out.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a disk device that can shorten the operation processing time by simultaneously performing a plurality of operations.
Another object of the present invention is to obtain a moving body, particularly a car disk device for automobiles, which is susceptible to a lot of vibration by improving vibration resistance.
Another object of the present invention is to supply an inexpensive disk by sharing parts.
Further, by making it possible to set a plurality of operation modes in the existing configuration, it is possible to achieve multi-function while reducing the number of parts.
Disclosure of the invention
The disk device according to the present invention is composed of a roller portion that conveys the disk into and out of the device by a rotating operation, and a roller base portion that rotatably holds the roller portion and has a protrusion on the side surface. A disk roller mechanism that is movable along the disk conveyance path in the apparatus, a driving means that is driven when the disk is inserted, and a groove is formed between the disk roller mechanism and the apparatus housing. At the same time, it is slidable in the groove formed in the cam plate part, which is provided between the cam plate part and the device housing, and the cam plate part that can move along the disc conveying direction by the driving force of the driving means. And a contact portion that contacts the protrusion formed on the roller base portion when the disc is not inserted, and is movable in the direction with respect to the apparatus. Until the disc is inserted and transported to a predetermined position by the roller portion, the protrusion formed on the roller base portion and the abutting portion formed on the link plate portion abut on each other. Thus, the movement of the roller base portion is prevented, and after the disc reaches a predetermined position, the cam plate moves to the disc insertion opening side, and the link plate portion moves downward in conjunction with this movement. The configuration is such that the contact between the protrusion formed on the base portion and the contact portion formed on the link plate portion is released. With this configuration, the disk base can be restrained from moving in the direction of the disk insertion slot due to the influence of the reaction force on the disk transport force during disk transport, so that the disk can be transported accurately. This improves the reliability of the device.
Further, the groove portion formed in the cam plate portion is provided with a plurality of inclined steps, and the movement of the roller base portion is restricted according to the plurality of operation contents of the apparatus. With this configuration, it is possible to accurately control the movement of the roller base portion with a simple mechanism based on the operation content of the disk.

Embodiment 1 FIG.
FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram showing a schematic configuration inside a disk apparatus according to Embodiment 1, and this disk apparatus can be roughly divided into four parts from each mechanism.
The first mechanism is a disk loading / unloading mechanism 100 for loading / unloading a disk disposed in the vicinity of the disk insertion slot, and the second mechanism is configured to transfer the disk loaded from the disk loading / unloading mechanism 100 into the apparatus. The disk holding mechanism 200 is held by
The third mechanism is a disk reproducing mechanism 300 that performs the reproducing operation of the disk held by the disk holding mechanism 200, and the fourth mechanism stores the disk held by the disk holding mechanism 200 in the apparatus. A disc storage mechanism 400 that holds the disc and transfers it to the disc holding mechanism 200 when reproducing or ejecting the stored and held disc.
Here, the basic operation of the disk device will be described.
First, when it is detected that the disc has been inserted into the apparatus, the disc carry-in / out mechanism 100 starts to carry the disc into the apparatus, and a part of the disc carry-in / out mechanism 100 comes into contact with the peripheral edge of the disc and the diameter of the disc is increased. And discs are guided so that the discs are conveyed to the center of the apparatus.
In addition, when the disk loading / unloading mechanism 100 transports the disk, the disk holding mechanism 200 positions the disk within the apparatus, and also moves the disk to the disk storage mechanism 400 so that the peripheral edge of the disk can be transported. Hold the part.
Next, the disk storage mechanism 400 receives and stores and supports the disk held by the disk holding mechanism 200.
Here, when a playback operation is instructed to the disc, the disc holding mechanism 200 holds the disc stored by the disc storage mechanism 400, disengages it from the disc storage mechanism 400, and places the disc on the side of the apparatus. The disc reproducing mechanism 300 that has been moved and rotated in the disc direction sets the disc reproducing operation and starts the disc reproducing operation.
On the other hand, when a disk ejection command is received, an operation opposite to the operation flow described above is performed. That is, first, the disc playback mechanism 300 stops the playback of the disc, the disc holding mechanism 200 holds the disc being played back, and after this disc holding, the disc playback mechanism 300 rotates in the direction opposite to the disc playback position. Then, it moves to the side of the apparatus, that is, to the retracted position.
Next, the disc carry-out operation is performed by the disc carry-in / out mechanism 100 so that the disc is ejected out of the apparatus, and a series of operations is completed.
In addition, the explanation of the above operation was only a series of flow of reproducing the disk carried into the apparatus and carrying it out of the apparatus. Hereinafter, among the plurality of disks accommodated in the apparatus, the disk during the reproducing operation is described below. Next, a series of operations for switching to a disk to be reproduced will be described.

It turns to the side and moves to the storage position. At this time, the second disk is stored in the disk storage mechanism.
Next, after the disk loading / unloading mechanism 100 is moved to the disk insertion slot side so as to retract to a predetermined position not facing the first disk surface, a part of the disk storage mechanism 400 is moved from the lower side of the apparatus to the hole of the first disk. Is extended to the upper part of the apparatus while loosely fitting, and is connected to another part of the disk storage mechanism 400. After this connection operation, the holding of the first disk held by the disk holding mechanism 200 is released.
At this time, the first disk is stored only by the disk storage mechanism 400.
Further, when the holding of the first disk is released, the driving means starts to be driven, and this driving force rotates the disk storage mechanism 400 in which the disk is loosely fitted to rotate the desired disk, that is, the second disk. The height of the second disk is switched so that the other disk becomes the reproduction height. At the same time, the height of the first disk is switched based on the rotation of the disk storage mechanism 400 so that the first disk is stored at a height different from the playback position.
Next, after the disk holding mechanism operates to support the second disk and holds the second disk, the disk storage mechanism 400 rotates in the direction opposite to the moving operation when the first disk is stored. It moves so as to move away from the hole of the second disk and to shrink below the apparatus.
At this time, the second disk is held only by the disk holding mechanism and is set to the reproduction position.
Next, after the disc loading / unloading mechanism 100 has moved to a predetermined location inside the apparatus, the disc playback mechanism 300 has moved to the second disc side to play back the second disc, and has reached the predetermined location to be played back. Thereafter, the holding of the disc holding mechanism is released, and after this release, the second disc is played back.

Next, as shown in FIG. 96, the clamp part 320 moves in the A direction and rotates in the E direction, and is set above the disk placed on the turntable 311. At this time, the state where the disk is held by the holding unit 211 and the holding arm 290 continues. Next, as shown in FIG. 97, the disc is clamped so that the chucking portion of the clamp portion 320 fits into the hole of the disc, that is, the inner diameter. With this operation, the disc is sandwiched between the disc reproducing unit 310 and the clamp unit 320. The disk is also held by the holding unit 211 and the holding arm 290. Next, as shown in FIG. 98, the holding unit 211 and the holding arm 290 that have held the disk are detached from the disk and stored in a predetermined location, and the disk holding is released. At this time, the disc is held only by the disc reproducing unit 310 and the clamp unit 320. Next, as shown in FIG. 99, the floating deck portion 350 is moved in the B direction and set at the disc playback position. Next, as shown in FIG. 100, after the lock unit 330 releases the lock of the floating deck unit 350 and puts it into the floating state, the disc reproducing operation is started. This completes a series of operations. Next, the disk storage mechanism will be described.

The upper pressing member 4430 is moved in the rotation axis direction based on the rotation operation of the first guide member 4110 and the third guide member.
When the spacer supports the disk, the leaf spring portion immediately above the spacer urges the disk to press the disk toward the spacer (for example, when the disk is placed on the third spacer, the second is directly above. Since the leaf spring member presses the disk against the third spacer), the disk is more firmly supported (held).
The extending portions 4421 to 4424 of the first leaf spring portion 4420 have the same extending direction, that is, extend from the right hand direction to the left hand direction in FIG. In addition, as shown in FIG. 112, each leaf spring part has such a shape because the center of gravity is more stable if the intersection of the diagonals of the leaf springs opposed to the shaft part is the axis. It is desirable to make it.
Here, the appearance of the mechanism arranged at the lower part of the apparatus is as shown in FIGS. 104 and 105.

The first switch 711 and the second switch 712 are locking portions 7024 formed on the first lock plate 702. When the contact is released, the switch is turned on, and when the contact is released, the switch is turned off. Here, when the first lock plate 702 moves in the A direction, the first switch 711 is turned on, and when moved in the B direction, the first switch 711 is turned off.
Next, the operation will be described. FIGS. 145 and 146 show a state in which the floating deck unit 350 is locked by the first lock unit 705 to the fourth lock unit 710, that is, operations other than the disk playback operation, such as a disk standby state and a disk replacement state. In this case, the first switch 711 and the second switch 712 are not in contact with the engaging portion 7124 of the first lock plate 702 and are in the off state. Further, FIG. 147 is a detailed view of the main part showing the state of the first lock plate 702 in this state, and FIG. 148 is a side view showing the right side. Next, the locked state of the floating deck unit 350 is released in order to reproduce the disc. At this time, the drive motor 601 drives the cam 701 to rotate via the gear train 602 and the cam gear portion 610. In conjunction with this rotation, the first lock plate 705 moves in the A direction, and the gear The link 703 rotates and the second lock plate 704 moves in the B direction to release the lock of the second lock portion 706, and the third lock plate 708 interlocked with the movement of the first lock plate 702 also moves in the A direction. When the lock link 709 rotates, the floating deck unit 350 is unlocked. The elapsed state until this state is reached is the state shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 149, the first lock plate is slightly moved in the A direction. At this time, the first switch 711 is in the on state, and the second switch 712 remains off. In this state, as the floating deck portion 350 is locked, the first lock portion 705, the second lock portion 706, and the third lock portion 707 continue to be locked in directions other than the A and B directions and only locked in the A and B directions. In other words, the floating deck 350 swings only in the A and B directions. However, since the fourth lock 710 is locked in the A and B directions, The lock is continued. A right side view of this state is shown in FIG. Next, when the drive motor 601 is driven and the first lock plate is further moved in the direction A, the interval between the first lock portion 705 and the second lock portion 706 is shortened as shown in FIG. The lock of the part 350 is released to make it float. At this time, since the unlocking operation is not yet completed, the first switch 711 is turned on, but the second switch 712 remains off. Next, as shown in FIG. 152, the first lock plate 702 has completed the movement in the A direction, that is, the floating deck portion 350 is completely unlocked. At this time, the first switch 711 remains on, and the second switch 712 comes into contact with the engaging portion 7024 formed on the first lock plate 702 and is switched on. That is, when the floating deck unit 350 is completely in a floating state (unlocked state), the first switch 711 and the second switch 712 are turned on. In the locked state, the first switch 711 and the second switch are turned on. Both 712 are turned off. FIG. 153 is a main part configuration diagram showing the main part in this state, and FIG. 154 is a right side view of FIG. 152.
FIG. 155 is a block diagram showing the relationship between the cam 701 and the first lock plate 702. Further, FIG. 156 is an overall configuration diagram showing a more detailed overall configuration of FIG. 1, and FIG. 157 is a configuration diagram showing a mechanism attached to the ceiling surface of the housing 50. Next, the operation of the entire apparatus will be described.
