Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea]

0001

[Industrial application field]

This idea is a loading mechanism for recording media such as magnetic recording and playback tapes and disks. In particular, the loading of recording media is suitable for reducing costs with a stable mechanism. Regarding the banking mechanism.

[Prior art]

Traditionally, for example, the tray loading mechanism for DAT tapes has been Many of the devices shown in the perspective view of the main parts in FIG. 2 have been provided. In the diagram, 1 is the mechanism (hereinafter simply referred to as mechanism) mounting bracket, 5 is for attaching the recording medium DAT tape, etc. tray for loading, 6 is the DAT tape, 7 is the pedestal 13 and holder 2. The mounting screws, 10 are the holders attached to the mounting bracket 1, and 10a are the holders attached to the holder 10. Boss, 11 is a fixture that is attached to the pedestal and fixes the leaf spring, 12 is a loading mechanism 13 is the pedestal attached to the holder 10, and 14 is the plate spring that holds down the mechanism. This is a screw to attach it.

0003 For example, the loading mechanism of the DAT tape 6 using the tray 5 shown in Figure 2 is Attach the holder 10 and pedestal 13 to the bracket 1 together with screws 7, and remove the holder during this installation. The boss 10a provided on the holder 10 and the positioning hole provided on the pedestal 3 are fitted together. child A part of the pedestal 13 to which the is attached has a substantially L-shaped mounting part, and a mounting tool is attached to this mounting part. 11 was attached with screws 14, and a leaf spring 12 was further fixed to this fixture 11.

0004 In this way, the loading mechanism that loads the tray 5 in the direction of arrow A is Using fixing screws 7, 14, etc., remove the mechanical part of the leaf spring 12 that holds down the tray 5 into a single piece. It was formed in a state.

[0005] In addition, the mechanical structure of the leaf spring 12 is a front-loading type loading system. It can be similarly applied to a tracking mechanism.

[0006]

[Problem that the idea aims to solve]

However, the tray loading method of the conventional DAT tape 6 mentioned above is difficult to load. The mounting mechanism used a fixture 11 to fix the leaf spring 12, which resulted in a large number of parts. The disadvantage is that the installation work becomes complicated and production costs increase.

[0007] In addition, the mechanical part for attaching the leaf spring 12 in the conventional example above has a holder 10 and a pedestal 13 on the mounting bracket 1. This method was used because the leaf spring 12 was fixed by tightening the screws 14 and fixing the fixture 11 together. It is difficult to ensure the mounting accuracy of the mounting parts, and the dimensional accuracy of each mounting part is required. There were also drawbacks, such as the need for

[0008] This idea was made in view of the above points, and its purpose is to Eliminates the drawbacks of the conventional example, reduces the number of mounting parts by using a roughly L-shaped holder, and improves accuracy. The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-quality leaf spring mounting mechanism.

[0009]

[Means to solve the problem]

The loading mechanism of the recording medium of this invention is attached to the pedestal via the holder to the mechanical mounting bracket. , attach mechanical parts such as leaf springs, torsion coil springs, and rollers, and then In the loading mechanism of the lay-loading method or the front-loading method. A holder formed in a substantially L shape, a plurality of bosses provided on the holder, and a holder formed in a substantially L shape, It is equipped with a leaf spring that fits into the tray, and is configured to hold down a mechanism such as a tray with this leaf spring. It is something that

0010

[Effect]

According to this invention, the leaf spring mounting mechanism of the recording medium loading mechanism is A holder formed in a roughly L shape is screwed onto the mounting bracket, and the holder is shaped into a roughly L shape. Determine the mounting position of the pedestal by joining the end of the pedestal to the convex part that has been formed. The seat is attached with screws, and the number of parts is reduced compared to conventional mechanical parts. It's something I lost.

[0011] Furthermore, the holder is provided with a plurality of bosses, and one of the plurality of bosses is used as a support to support the board. Fix the spring and use this leaf spring to hold down the tray for stable tray loading. can become.

【Example】

An embodiment of the recording medium loading mechanism according to this invention is shown in a perspective view of the main parts in FIG. I will explain based on this. Parts that are the same as those in the conventional example are given the same reference numerals and their explanations are omitted. do.

[0013] In the figure, 2 is a holder that is attached to the mounting bracket 1 and has a partially L-shaped holder, 2a 2b is the first boss provided on the holder 2, and 2b is the first boss provided on the holder to form the leaf spring mounting support. 2 a boss, 3 a pedestal attached to the holder 2, 4 a leaf spring fixed to the pedestal 3, 8 is a screw for attaching the holder 2 to the mounting bracket 1.

[0014] The holder 2 attached to the mounting bracket 1 with screws 8 is made of, for example, molded from hard resin. A convex part is provided on a part of the upper part of the holder 2 to form a substantially L-shape, and a convex part is provided on the upper part of the holder 2. First and second bosses 2a and 2b are provided.

[0015] Position the pedestal 3 so that the end thereof is joined to the approximately L-shaped convex portion of the holder 2, Furthermore, the first and second bosses 2a and 2b of the pedestal 3 are fitted into the holes provided at predetermined positions of the pedestal 3. It is attached using an independent mounting screw 7.

[0016] One side of the leaf spring 4 made of elastic material is attached to the second boss 2b protruding from the top of the pedestal 3. The other end of the leaf spring 4 is attached to the first bolt. It is attached so as to be in contact with the tray 5 as shown in the figure via the base 2a.

[0017] That is, the leaf spring 4 fixed to the first and second bosses 2a, 2b has a high elasticity. Press down on the sides of the tray 5 with moderate pressure using the part of the loading mechanism for this tray loading method. This allows stable loading operation.

[0018] The tray loading method for DAT tape 6 has been explained above. The plate spring 4 attachment mechanism of the loading mechanism is used for loading recording media other than DAT tape 6. It can also be applied to loading operations, and can also be used as a front-loading loading mechanism. can be used as well.

[0019]

[Effect of the idea]

As mentioned above, the recording medium loading mechanism according to this invention is formed into a substantially L-shape. Automatically determines the mounting position of the pedestal for tray loading using the The leaf spring that is fixed to this pedestal is fixed with multiple bosses provided on the holder. The number of parts used can be reduced compared to conventional models, reducing costs. This has the effect of reducing

[0020] In addition, the holder attached to the mounting bracket and the pedestal attached to the holder are independent. Since it is attached with a mounting screw, it ensures the accuracy of the installation and assembly of the leaf spring mounting mechanism. This also has the effect of making the installation work easier.

[0021] Moreover, it has a simple structure and can be constructed at low cost. It has excellent features such as being easy to use.
