Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a loading disk support device in a magnetic recording/reproducing device such as a VTR.

Normally, the loading disk in a VTR is supported by disk loading by sandwiching a thin wall formed on the inner periphery of the loading disk with rotatable support rollers provided at multiple locations on the chassis. .

In this case, a certain amount of wobbling occurs between each support roller and the loading disk, and if this wobbling is large, tape running may become unstable and recording/reproducing operations may be affected.

This invention was made in view of the above points,
In addition to the support roller, there is provided a loading disk support device in which wobbling of the loading disk is suppressed as much as possible by disposing a clamping plate that clamps the loading disk near the support roller.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

5a to lock the slide lever 35, and only during unloading, the protruding pin 3g on the lower surface of the loading disk 3 engages with the engagement piece 36b at the other end.
is engaged to release the lock.

Next, the operation of the apparatus of this embodiment will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

First, in the unloading state, that is, the stop mode, shown in FIG. Brake band 24
is spaced apart from the supply reel stand 14. Furthermore, the pinch roller 7 is also located within the notch of the cassette 5.

On the other hand, the third and fourth rotating levers 30 and 31 are at positions rotated counterclockwise, and the winding-side tape end sensor 29 faces the tape 4. Also,
In this state, the tape 4 is located a little apart from the supply tape end sensor 28.

Further, the ejector lock lever 36 is in a counterclockwise rotated position because the protruding pin 3g of the loading disc 3 is engaged with the engagement piece 36b, and the slide lever 35 is in the unlocked state. , only in this case, eject operation is possible.

Next, when fast forwarding or rewinding is performed from this state, the loading disk 3 rotates slightly counterclockwise and stops as shown in FIG. At this time, the second rotating lever 25 is rotated counterclockwise as the roller 25b slides on the cam surface 3d of the loading disc 3 , and in conjunction with this, the first rotating lever 22 and the back lever are rotated counterclockwise. Since the tension lever 20 rotates clockwise, the back tension pin 21 pulls out the tape 4 from the take-up reel in the cassette 5 and stops at the operating position. By rotating the back tension lever 20 to the operating position, the brake band 24 is engaged with the supply reel stand 14, and as the tension of the tape 4 increases, the brake band 24 is loosened.

Further, in this state, the tape 4 faces the supply side and take-up side tape end sensors 28 and 29, respectively.

Further, as the loading disk 3 rotates, the protruding pin 3g separates from the engagement piece 36b of the ejector lock lever 36, so the ejector lock lever rotates clockwise and locks the lock portion 36a.
engages with the locking piece 35a of the slide lever 35, inhibiting the slide lever from sliding.

When the loading disc 3 is started, a large load is applied to the loading disc in order to displace the roller 25b that engages with the cam portion 3d of the loading disc 3 . Since it is biased clockwise by , it assists the rotation of the loading disc 3 at the time of startup, and the substantial load applied to the loading disc 3 is reduced. Then, when the loading disk 3 rotates to a certain extent, that is, when the ejector lever 36 separates from the protruding pin 3g, the rollers etc. begin to slide in fixed positions and the load becomes lighter.

Next, if you perform the play operation from the state shown in Figure 3,
As shown in FIG. 5, the loading disk 3 further rotates counterclockwise after passing through the state shown in FIG. The lever stops at the position where it enters the notch 3c of No. 3 , and this entry causes the lever to rotate counterclockwise, rotate the pinch roller support lever 8 clockwise, and move the pinch roller 7 to the capstan 12.
It is pressed into play mode. Due to this rotation of the loading disk, the first engagement arm 31c of the fourth circuit lever 31 is pressed by the engagement piece 3e on the loading disk 3 , and rotates clockwise against the bias of the torsion spring 34. However, after passing the consideration point, the biasing direction of the torsion spring 34 is reversed, and the biasing causes the torsion spring 34 to rotate clockwise and stop at the position where it engages with the stopper 33c. Therefore, the tape end sensor 29 on the winding side rotates approximately 90 degrees and comes to face the tape 4.

Furthermore, in this state, since the shield plate 10 has rotated to a position opposite to the take-up tape end sensor 29, the sensor and the guide cylinder 1 face each other with the shield plate 10 in between, and the sensor oscillates. Magnetic influence on the rotating video head can be prevented.

Then, when a stop operation is performed from the state shown in FIG. 5, the loading disk 3 rotates clockwise to perform an unloading operation.

At this time, the protrusion 3f of the loading disc 3 engages with the second engagement arm 31d and is rotated counterclockwise, which is the opposite operation to that during loading, and the second engagement arm 31d is rotated to the stopper. 33b
It stops at the locked position and returns to the state shown in Fig. 3.

Furthermore, the protruding pin 3g on the lower surface of the loading disc 3 is connected to the engaging piece 3 of the ejector lever 36.
6b, the lock lever rotates counterclockwise to unlock the slide lever 35.

During the aforementioned loading and unloading, the tape 4 is fed out only from the take-up reel stand 15 side and wound up by the engagement of the brake band 24 on the supply reel stand 14 side.

As described above, according to the present invention, the rattling of the loading disk can be suppressed as much as possible by simply arranging the clamping plate integrally with the support roller.
It is possible to stabilize the playback operation.

Incidentally, in the above-described embodiment, the clamping plate is provided for only one support roller, but rattling can be further prevented by disposing clamping plates for all of the support rollers.
