Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea]

0001

[Industrial application field]

This invention connects multiple rack sections vertically to store any number of disc-shaped recording media. This invention relates to a retractable disc autochanger device.

0002

[Conventional technology]

A disc auto equipped with a rack section that stores multiple CDs (compact discs). For changer devices, the number of sheets that can be stored is determined depending on the rack section used. Therefore, you can store 3, 6, 10, 12, 30, 60, etc. as needed. You must choose a rack that matches your storage capacity.

0003 As audiophiles own an increasing number of CDs, storage space for them increases. becomes a big thing. Also, when playing CDs, one CD is placed in the player section. It is difficult to repeat the task of adding a large burden. On the other hand, from the beginning Prepare a disc autochanger device with a rack that can accommodate a large number of discs. This is not so easy to realize considering the space and cost involved.

0004

[Problem that the idea aims to solve]

In this way, conventional disc autochangers can accommodate a large number of discs. If this is attempted, problems arise in terms of space and cost.

[0005] This invention was developed in response to the above-mentioned problems, and it is possible to expand a single rack section. A disc autochanger device that solves the conventional problems by The purpose is to provide the following.

[0006]

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention stores a plurality of disc-shaped recording media. Disc auto that takes out any item from the rack section and plays it on the player section In a changer device, there is a rack section that can connect multiple units vertically, and and a player part that engages with the playback part and is movable in the vertical direction. It is.

[0007]

[Effect]

A single rack section can be connected in multiple directions vertically, and these rack sections can be connected The ear part is engaged so as to be movable in the vertical direction. This allows the single rack section to be By simply connecting any number of sheets in the same direction, you can increase the number of sheets stored without increasing space or cost. can be made larger.

【Example】

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

[0009] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the disc autochanger device of the present invention. The disk auto changer device has rack part A that stores CDs and this rack part A. and a player section B for playing any CD taken out from the CD player. Rat As shown in FIG. There is a recess 2 for storing CDs, and a tray slot 4 for storing CDs is provided on the front. In addition, on both sides of the tray loading/unloading opening 4, there are vertically extending holes for raising and lowering the player. Gear 3 is provided.

0010 Figure 4 shows a structure in which two of these single rack sections A are connected vertically. This can be easily achieved by fitting the expansion convex part 1 and the expansion concave part 2. , It is also possible to connect three or more rack parts A in the same way.

[0011] In FIG. 1, gears 7 are provided on both sides of the player section B, and the rack section A gear is provided that meshes with the player lifting gear 3 of A, and these gears 6 and 7 By integrating the above through the connecting rod 8, the player section 3, it is configured to be movable in the vertical direction. At the top of player part B there is a A sensor (A) 9 is provided, and this sensor (A) 9 is always connected to the wall of the rack section A. When player part B rises, it rises to a position where there is no wall surface. When it rises, it outputs a detection signal that stops the rise. Also below the player part B A sensor (B) 10 is provided in the part, and this sensor (B) 10 is When the floor part B comes into contact with the floor when it descends, it outputs a detection signal that stops the descent. Strengthen.

0012 In FIG. 1, 21 is a remote control block, and 11 is this remote control block 21. This is a remote control light receiving section that receives the transmitted signals from the remote controller. In addition, 5 is a tray push-out unit, 1 2 is the power cord, 13 is the speaker cord, 14 is the disc holding part, and 15 is the tray. The return unit 20 is a turntable. Figure 2 shows the side view of player section B. Therefore, a pulley 16 is provided on the surface of the player section B facing the rack section A. Ru.

[0013] 5 to 8 show a method of pushing out the tray 17 from the rack section A. first When the tray pushing part 5 of the player part B is pushed as shown in Fig. 5, this tip will push out the tray. By contacting the push-out protrusion 22, the circular case 18 moves P as shown in FIG. It is pushed out to the right as the center of rotation, and gradually moves out of the case 8 as shown in Figures 7 and 8. being pushed out. Note that 19 is a hole for reading the pickup, and R is for pushing along the trajectory l. It shows the point for pushing out the tray. Pushed out from rack section A The tray 17 is set on the turntable 20 of the player section B.

[0014] 9 and 10 show the structure of the tray push-out section 5, and the structure of the player section B. A guide 24 is fitted to the panel 23, and a rack is inserted along the movement groove of the panel 23. 25 and the gear 26 fixed to the motor 27 mesh to push out the tray. It is configured such that the cutting section 5 is movable.

[0015] 11 and 12 show the structure of the tray return section 15, which shows the structure of the tray return section 15. It has a similar structure to the player section 5, with a guide 24' on the panel 23 of the player section. are fitted and also fixed to the rack 25' and motor 27' along the movement groove of the panel 23. The tray return section 15 is moved by the meshing of the gears 26'. It is configured. By operating this tray return unit 15, The tray 17 is returned to the rack section A in the reverse order as shown in FIG.

[0016] Figure 13 shows the state in which the CD has been returned to the rack section A together with the tray from the state shown in Figure 1. ing. In addition, in FIG. 1, the pickup 28 is placed along the pickup hole 29. and the pickup reading hole 19 in FIG. 1 is aligned with the tray 17 as shown in FIG. When it is pulled out, this hole 19 is in the same position as the pickup hole 29. Ru. Reference numerals 30 and 31 each indicate movement grooves.

[0017] Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained. Single rack part A can be moved in any number of vertical directions It is assumed that the player section B is connected to the player section B. For example, two Assuming that rack section A is connected, try to play the 9th CD from the bottom. If so, set the number on remote control block 21 in Figure 1 to 9 and press the play button. Do it like this. When this operation signal is received by the remote control light receiving section 11, the player section B drives the gear 7 by the built-in motor and descends once to the floor. Floor This can be detected by the operation of the sensor (B) 10.

[0018] Next, after resetting the position memory at that position, drive gear 7 again to record the CD. It rises to the 9th position and stops. When it stops, the tray pushing unit 5 operates. As a result, the ninth CD is placed in tray 1 by the operations shown in FIGS. 5 to 8. 7 and is taken out from the rack section A and placed on the turntable 20 of the player section B. Set. Next, the pickup 28 operates, and the CD is played. will be started.

[0019] When storing the CD in the rack section A again, operate it using the remote control block 21. The performance is stopped by doing this, and the tray is returned after the disc holding part 14 is released. By operating the storage section 15, the CD is stored in the rack section A together with the tray 17. Ru.

[0020] In this way, according to this embodiment, even if the rack section accommodates a relatively small number of sheets, this can be achieved. Easily increase the number of sheets stored by simply connecting any number of rack sections vertically. be able to. Therefore, the objective can be achieved without increasing space and cost. I can do that.

[0021]

[Effect of the idea]

As described above, according to the present invention, multiple rack sections are connected vertically and Since the player section is connected so that it can be moved downward, space and cost are not increased. To provide a disc autochanger device which can increase the number of discs stored without I can do that.
