Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a cartridge type tape recorder equipped with a fast forwarding device.

Conventional configuration and its problems Endless tape cartridges are extremely easy to operate, so they are widely used in karaoke and BGM performances. However, because of the functional drawback of not being able to rewind, fast-forward devices have been devised to quickly find the beginning of a song. A conventional example of a fast forwarding device for this cartridge type tape recorder is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

FIG. 1 shows an example in which a playback device and a fast-forward device are provided separately. In this case, more parts such as a motor and a board are required, and there are also two cartridge insertion slots, which occupies a large space on the panel surface. Another operational problem is that when you insert the cartridge into the playback cartridge insertion slot A and press the play button, you are already in the middle of a song and want to fast-forward, so you have to pull out the cartridge once and insert the fast-forward cartridge again. It is necessary to insert the cartridge into the opening B, locate the beginning of the cartridge, and then insert it again into the reproduction cartridge insertion opening A, which requires troublesome loading and unloading of the cartridge.

Next, as shown in Fig. 2, fast forwarding and playback are performed in one insertion slot, but fast forwarding is performed by increasing the rotational speed of the motor using the same drive method used during playback. It is something.
In this case, the limit is that the fast-forwarding speed can be increased to about 2 to 4 times the reproduction speed, and there is a drawback that it takes time to find the beginning. In addition, since the tape is basically pulled at two to four times the speed while it is being played, the tape and head wear out quickly, and there is a concern that the tape and head may be damaged. In addition, the increased load caused by the head and sensing pole and the high speed rotation of the motor caused an increase in the current value. For this reason, an expensive motor with high torque and two speeds was required. In addition, conventional cartridge insertion involves pushing the guide hole of the cartridge until the pinch roller is pressed against the capstan fixed to the chassis, which tends to apply shock to the capstan and pinch roller, which are the most important parts of the drive system. Due to the support, side-to-side play is likely to occur, so the head touch tends to change easily.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a cartridge-type tape recorder in which playback and fast-forwarding can be performed using a single cartridge insertion slot, and motor driving force can be extracted with a low current value during fast-forwarding.

Structure of the Invention The present invention has a fast-feeding idler that is coaxial with a fast-feeding roller that is in contact with a pinch roller of an inserted cartridge, and a regenerating capstan that is coaxial with the flywheel. The rotational force in the same direction as the rotating direction is transmitted to the fast-feeding roller to perform high-speed fast-feeding with a low current value.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS FIGS. 3 to 12 show embodiments of the present invention. FIGS. 3 and 4 are a plan view and a side view of essential parts showing the reproduction state of this embodiment. In FIG. 3, when the cartridge 1 is inserted on the surface of the chassis 2 along the guide roller 4 provided between the chassis 2 and the tape guide plate 3, the position of the cartridge 1 is regulated by the cartridge stopper 5.
The roller portion 7a of the lock lever 7, which is pulled clockwise by a spring 8 around a shaft 6 erected from the chassis 2, pushes the guide hole 1a provided on the side surface of the cartridge 1.
completely fix the position.

In this embodiment, the drive system is constituted by a chassis 2 and a head board 9 provided under the chassis 2. The chassis 2 and the head board 9 are constructed so that the head board 9 can be rotated about a pivot point 10. The head 11 is installed on the head substrate 9 so that it can come into contact with the tape surface of the cartridge 1 from the hollowed out portion of the chassis 2. In addition, the reproduction capstan 12 is connected to the head board 9.
It is held so as to be freely rotatable by a metal boss 13 fixed to it. Between the outer peripheral surface 14a of the flywheel 14 press-fitted into the regeneration capstan 12 and the motor pulley 16 of the motor 15 attached by the motor angle part 9a protruding from the head board 9, there is a A belt 17 is placed on it and given appropriate tension. Gear 1 press-fitted into capstan 12
A cam gear 20 is attached to a shaft 19 that is erected from the head plate 8 and the head board 9. In the regenerated state, the cam gear 20 and the gear 18 do not mesh with each other due to the toothless portion 20a of the cam gear 20.

Further, a plunger lever 22 is attached to a shaft 21 erected on the head board 9, and a movable core 36a of a plunger 36, which is also fixed to the head board 9, and one end 22b of the plunger lever 22 are rotatably attached. There is. The other end 22a of the plunger lever 22 comes into contact with a stopper 20b provided near the outer periphery of the cam gear 20, and the cam gear 20
It regulates the clockwise rotation of.

A cam lever 24 is attached to another shaft 23 erected on the head board 9, and one end 24b on the cam gear 20 side is attached to the inner cam portion 24 of the cam gear 20.
It abuts at a position slightly below the position closest to the axis of 0c. A roller is attached to the other end 24a of the cam lever 24, and a pressure lever 26 attached to a shaft 25 raised from the chassis 2 is in contact with the roller surface. The pressure lever 26 is pulled clockwise by a spring 27, and when the position of the cam lever 24 in contact with the pressure lever 26 is regulated in the above-described manner, the force of the spring 27 acting on the pressure lever 26 is equal to the force of the cam lever 24.
The force is used to push the head board 9 clockwise through the shaft 23 of the head. A spring 28 is applied to the head board 9 to try to pull it counterclockwise, which is the opposite of the above, but the force exerted by the spring 27 is smaller than the force exerted by the spring 27, and the clockwise force on the head board 9 is A reproducing capstan 19 attached to the head board 9 is brought into contact with the pinch roller 29 of the cartridge 1 with a tape driving force.

Contacts A30a and B30b, which are short-circuited by the sensing tape, are insulated from the respective contacts and the chassis 2, are rotatably attached to the chassis 2, and are lightly pressed against the tape surface by springs. The other end of each fixed spring is used as a terminal. In the reproducing state, the fast-forwarding roller 31 is separated from the drive system by a method described later and is placed at a position on the left side of the reproducing capstan near the head.

Next, FIGS. 5 and 6 show the fast forwarding state of this embodiment. The cartridge 1 inserted between the chassis 1 and the tape guide plate 3 is held in the same state as in the playback state. During playback, a fast forward roller 3 is placed on the left side of the playback capstan 12.
1 was in the position, but the spring 34 pulled the fast-forward capstan metal boss 23 clockwise, and the fast-forward roller 31 press-fitted into the upper part of the fast-forward capstan 34 held by the fast-forward capstan metal boss 33 It comes into contact with the pinch roller 29 of the cartridge 1.

A fast-forward idler 35 is press-fitted into the lower part of the fast-forward capstan 34. Fast forward idler 35
The head board 9 is pulled by a spring 28 so that the outer periphery of the flywheel comes into contact with the inner peripheral surface 14b of the flywheel. The force with which the head board 9 is pulled in the counterclockwise direction by the spring 28 is weaker than the force with which the spring 43 presses the fast-forward roller 31 against the pinch roller 29 via the fast-forward capstan metal boss 33, but each transmits a force. The spring force is set to the required spring force to obtain .

A cam gear 20 attached to a shaft 19 erected on the head board 9 is stopped at a cam gear stopper 20d by one end 22a of a plunger lever 22 attached to a shaft 21 erected on the same head board 9. . Another end 24a of a cam lever 24 attached to a shaft 23 erected on the head board 9 connects to a pressure lever 26 attached to a shaft 25 erected on the chassis 2 and the head board 9.
It is pushed counterclockwise by the spring 28 which pulls it counterclockwise. However, the other end of this cam lever comes into contact with the inner cam portion 20c of the cam gear 20 at a portion slightly before it reaches the farthest point from the shaft stop.

In the fast-forwarding state, the head 11 rotates counterclockwise together with the head board 9 about the pivot point 10 and is separated from the tape surface of the cartridge 1.
Similarly, the reproduction capstan is also separated from the tape and the pinch roller. Contacts A30a and B30b tend to be pushed back counterclockwise to a greater extent than during playback due to the resistance of the tape being fed at high speed, but stable contact with the tape is maintained by the spring. The motor 15 rotates at the same rotation speed during playback, and the speed during playback is determined by the difference between the diameter of the capstan 12 and the inner diameter of the flywheel inner surface 14b, and the difference between the eye 35 press-fitted into the fast-forward capstan and the fast-forward roller 31. This results in a speed difference during fast forwarding.

The following explains how to switch between next playback and fast-forward operations. FIG. 7 shows the position of each part of the head board 9 in the reproduced state, and FIG. 8 shows the fast forward state. In FIG. 7, when the plunger 36 is energized for a short time, the movable core 36a of the plunger is pulled in the direction of the arrow 38, and one end 22b of the plunger lever 22, which is rotatably attached to the movable core 36a, is moved around the shaft 21. Move counterclockwise. The other end 22a of the plunger lever also moves counterclockwise around the shaft 21, and the cam gear 20
The cam gear 20 disengages from the stopper 20b.
Since the cam lever 24 is rotated in the direction of the arrow 41 in the manner described above, the cam end 24b pushes the inner cam portion 20c in the centrifugal direction. Since the contact part of the inner cam part 20c is at the position where the cam starts to descend, the cam gear 20 is in the position indicated by the arrow 40.
is rotated in the direction of Slightly before the cam comes down completely, a stopper of 20d is placed at one end of the plunger lever 2.
2a, the rotation of the cam gear 20 is prevented. During this operation, the cam gear 20 does not mesh with the gear 18 because it is located at the toothless portion 20a of the intermittent gear. Therefore, as the cam lever 24 rotates in the direction of the arrow 41, the entire head base plate 9 is rotated counterclockwise about the pivot point 10 by the spring 28 applied to the spring hook 9b of the head base plate.

FIG. 8 shows a state where the above operations have been completed, and is in a fast forward state. Next, switching from fast forwarding to playback will be explained with reference to FIG. When the plunger 36 is energized again for a short time, the movable iron core 36a is pulled in the direction of the arrow 38 and the plunger lever 22 is turned in the direction of the arrow 39. The contact portion between the inner cam portion 20c of the cam gear 20 and the cam lever 24b is in the downward stroke of the cam surface, and the cam lever 24
A counterclockwise force is applied to the plunger lever 22a due to the regulation of the spring 28 applied to the spring 9b of the head board and the pressure lever 26 attached to the chassis 2, and the plunger lever 22a is rotated against the stopper 20d of the cam gear. By disengaging the cam gear 20, the cam gear 20 is slightly rotated in the direction of the arrow 40. When the cam gear 20 is turned a little, the real teeth of the gear 18 and the cam gear 20 begin to engage, and the gear 18 rotates counterclockwise and the cam gear 20 rotates in the direction of the arrow 40. The cam gear 24 that comes into contact with the inner cam of the cam gear 20 as it goes up stroke.
is turned in the direction of arrow 42 by a force greater than the aforementioned reaction force. The cam gear 2 is moved until the plunger lever 22a and the cam gear stopper 20b come into contact.
When 0 rotates, the rotation stops and the reproducing state shown in FIG. 7 is resumed.

Next, a method for replacing the reproduction capstan 12 and the fast-forwarding roller 31 will be explained with reference to FIGS. 9 to 12. FIGS. 9 and 10 show the states of the reproduction capstan 12 and the fast-forwarding roller 31 during reproduction. The fast-forward capstan metal boss 33, which is rotatably attached to a shaft 32 erected on the chassis 2, receives a force of being turned clockwise by its spring-loaded portion 33b. Since they are regulated by the portion 9c, the fast-forward capstan 34, fast-forward roller 31, and idler 35 are completely separated from the drive system during playback. Therefore, during regeneration, the motor 15 - belt 17 - flywheel 1
4-Reproduction capstan 12-Pinch roller 29
The driving force is transmitted to.

From this state, when the head board 9 rotates counterclockwise about the pivot point 10, the reproduction capstan 12 moves away from the pinch roller 29. Also, the fast-forward capstan metal boss 33 is also chassis 9c.
The position does not change while the chassis 9d is sliding, and when the chassis 9d starts to make contact at the sliding position, it is pulled clockwise around the shaft 32 by the force of the spring 43. Then, the fast feed roller 31 is pressed against the pinch roller 29, and then the flywheel 14 is retreated by counterclockwise rotation of the head board 9, and the flywheel inner peripheral surface 1
4b and the idler 35 are brought into contact. Since the force of the spring 43 that pulls the fast feed capstan metal boss 33 is stronger than the force of the spring 28 that moves the flywheel 14 backward, the fast feed roller 31 and the capstan 29
Since the pressure between the idler 35 and the flywheel inner circumferential surface 14b is maintained at an appropriate level, the motor 15 - the belt 17 - the flywheel outer circumferential surface 14 during fast forwarding.
a - Flywheel inner peripheral surface 14b - Idler 35 -
The driving force is transmitted to the fast feed capstan 34, the fast feed roller 31, and the pinch roller 29.

This fast-forwarding state is shown in Figure 11 and Figure 1.
This is Figure 2. From this state, when the head board 9 rotates clockwise about the pivot point 10, the flywheel 14 also moves forward. As the flywheel 14 moves forward, the pressure between the flywheel inner peripheral surface 14b and the idler 35 is released, and then the fast-forward capstan metal boss 33 is pushed by the chassis 9d and rotates counterclockwise around the shaft 32. Therefore, the pressure between the fast feed roller 31 and the pinch roller 29 is also released. As the rotation of the head board 9 further progresses, the reproduction state shown in FIG. 9 is returned to. The two drive shafts of the reproduction capstan 12 and the fast feed roller 31 are replaced by the above method.

According to this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained. First, the motor 15 is attached to the head board 9 that performs rotation.
Since the flywheel 14 and the head 11 are mounted, even if the head board 9 moves, the flywheel 14
Since the position of the motor 15 and the motor 15 are always kept the same, stable belt running can be realized. Also head 11
Since the reproducing capstan 12 and the reproducing capstan 12 are also placed on the head board 9, the reproducing capstan 12 and the head 11 can be easily retracted simultaneously for fast forwarding.

In the playback state, the pinch roller pressure is obtained by pressing the playback capstan 12 against the pinch roller 29 of the cartridge 1 positioned by the stopper 5, so the pinch roller pressure is stable and has better followability than before. is obtained. Further, during reproduction, the fast-forward mechanism parts such as the fast-forward roller 31 and the idler 35 are separated from the drive system, so that they do not have an adverse effect on the reproduction. Furthermore, the head board 9 is easily rotated slightly counterclockwise during playback to release the press between the playback capstan 12 and the pinch roller 29, thereby providing a temporary stop function.

Furthermore, the stopper 5 provided on the chassis 2 to receive the front side of the cartridge enables accurate positioning of the cartridge with less left and right play compared to the case where the front side of the cartridge is supported by a conventional fixed advance capstan. When the cartridge is directly inserted into the head 11, the impact is less transmitted, and the mechanism can be protected even if it falls over when inserting the tape.

Further, in the fast-forwarding state, the head substrate 9 rotates so that the head 11 does not come into contact with the tape surface, thereby eliminating wear on the head and tape.
Since the fast feed is performed by a dedicated fast feed roller 31, a high tape driving force can be obtained even with a low pressing force due to the rubber roller, and there is little influence on the tape. In addition, since the driving force for fast forwarding is extracted from the inner peripheral surface of the flywheel 14, which rotates at the same number of rotations as during playback,
It is possible to easily obtain a circumferential speed of about 10 times in the same direction as the flywheel 14. Moreover, by adopting this configuration, the motor rotation speed can be kept unchanged and the current value can be kept low.

Although this embodiment shows an example in which two drive shafts are replaced by one motor, it goes without saying that similar effects can be obtained even if motors are used for each.

Effects of the Invention The present invention is configured so that the tape driving force is taken out from the inner circumferential surface of the flywheel.
It is possible to obtain a circumferential speed that is more than double that, and the direction of rotation can be the same as that of the capstan. In addition, since the inertia of the flywheel can be used effectively, a stronger driving force can be obtained than when relying only on the torque of the motor. Furthermore, since there is no need to change the rotational speed of the motor and flywheel during playback and fast forwarding, these can always be used at a constant rotational speed. It also has excellent features such as being able to keep the current to a low value because it does not put a burden on the motor.
