Abstract

PURPOSE:To ensure a mode changeover operation and to promote the operability by bringing a high speed tape driving means under its operation preventing state at the time of performing a play assist with a play assist means. CONSTITUTION:A changeover control slider 50 is formed with a projection 50a capable of engaging with an engaging groove 25b, and the changeover control slider 50 is energized by an energizing member 51, and hence when a high speed lock lever 31 is operated by performing a high speed operation, the projection 50a is engaged with the engaging groove 25b. Consequently, when a play assist operation is effective by performing a play operation, a projection 44a for preventing a changeover operation formed on a control slider 44 is engaged with an engaging groove 37 for preventing the changeover operation formed on a high speed slider 28, so that the high speed operation of REW and FF is prevented under the state of this play assist operation. By this method, the changeover operations for the two modes should never take place, thus preventing mechanical locks, etc., from becoming out of order.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Purpose of the invention] (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to a tape recorder device.

(Prior Art) In recent years, tape recorder devices have become more compact and multifunctional. For example, a so-called auto-reverse function, which allows playback at least in the forward and reverse running directions of the tape, has been adopted.

As a means for switching the auto-reverse function and each tape mode in such a tape recorder device,
For example, a mechanical soft touch mechanism is used, and in this case, the rotation direction of the motor is always the same rotation direction, for example, the rotation direction of the motor in forward play, reverse play, fast forward (F F), rewind (REW) is It was always the same.

Therefore, if the motor has sufficient power and the belt has sufficient transmission force, no particular problem will occur even if the power assist and high-speed components operate simultaneously. If there is not enough power to transmit the belt, the side of the machine is used to release the fast forward (FF) and rewind (REW) loads only while the power assist cam is rotating.

Incidentally, in recent years, there has been a trend to use brushless motors as the motors used in the above-mentioned tape recorders (headphone type) in order to improve the performance of the set, and sensorless brushless motors are also being used. These motors can be used in both forward and reverse rotation, so
It is possible to simplify each mechanism in the tape recorder device.

For example, in the case of a device using electric logic, since the control is simple, it becomes possible to use a high-speed FF/REW system by changing the rotation direction, and it becomes possible to aim at a total cost reduction.

However, when using such a tape recorder device with the motor rotating in both forward and reverse directions, if the power assist rotation direction and the high speed (REW) rotation direction are opposite, if these simultaneous operations are performed, it will not work properly. There is a problem that it becomes impossible to operate.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) As described above, in the conventional tape recorder device, when the motor is used to rotate in both forward and reverse directions to operate each mechanism, for example, when multiple operations are performed simultaneously, However, there is a problem in that problems such as mechanical locks occur.

The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a tape recorder device that can perform mode switching operations favorably and reliably, and can improve operability.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention includes a motor that rotates forward and backward, and a play assist that is driven by the motor and performs play assist when a play operation is performed to enter a tape play state. a tape high-speed drive means that is selectively driven by the forward and reverse rotation of the motor and puts the tape in a high-speed running state by fast-forwarding and rewinding operations; and high-speed operation inhibiting means for inhibiting operation of the tape high-speed driving means.

(Function) In the present invention, when the play assist means is performing play assist, the operation of the tape high speed drive means is inhibited.

Therefore, for example, high-speed switching operation is prevented during operation under braking system, so there is no mechanical lock, mode switching operation can be carried out favorably and reliably, and operability can be improved.
