Abstract

PURPOSE:To ensure the manual operation of an automatic disk reproducing device and to improve the reliability of the reproducing device by providing a function which displays the position of the disk moved by a robot. CONSTITUTION:The position information is assigned to a shelf 1 for each disk storable unit, and the proper names are assigned to plural disks 2 respectively. When a proper name is inputted from outside, an exchange function 4 points the shelf position state to a robot 8 and loads the disk pointed by the robot 8 into a disk reproducer 7 to reproduce the disk with an automatic reproduction function 5. At the same time, a display unit 9 shows that a disk number table is moved to a disk reproducer 7 from the shelf 1. Thus it is possible to manually put the designated disk into the reproducer 7 by the reference to the display of the unit 9 and then to reproduce the disk by the function 5.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automatic disk reproducing apparatus for automatically reproducing a disk by moving it with a robot.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, a highly reliable automatic disk reproducing apparatus using a robot such as that found in commercial karaoke has been desired.

A conventional automatic disc reproducing apparatus will be described below. FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a conventional automatic disc reproducing apparatus. In FIG. 3, reference numeral 51 is a shelf, 52 is a disk, 53 is a control device, 54 is a conversion function, 55 is a disk reproducing device 1, 56 is a disk reproducing device 2 and 57 is a robot.

The automatic disk reproducing apparatus having the above-mentioned structure will be described. First, 001.00 on the shelf 51
Position information is assigned to each unit in which one disk can be housed, such as 2.003 ... 101.102.

The disc 52 has a song title, a song number, and
A unique name such as a disk number is assigned, which is present over the number of shelves, and only some of the disks are stored in the shelf 51.

The control device 53 is a computer such as a personal computer, and when a proper name is input from the outside, the conversion function 54 instructs the robot 57 to the shelf position information. Then, the robot 57 writes the disc of the designated position information to the disc 55.
Alternatively, it is inserted into 56 disc playback equipment.

Data of a proper name and position information is input to the conversion function 54 in advance from the control device 53, and a disc is inserted based on the input data.

[0008]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional configuration, if the robot fails, it cannot operate at all.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object thereof is to provide an automatic disk reproducing apparatus which can be operated by a robot if the robot fails.

[0010]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is provided with a display device for displaying the position of the disk moved by the robot.

[0011]

By the above means, it is possible to provide a highly reliable automatic disk reproducing apparatus which can be operated even if the robot fails.

[0012]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an automatic disc reproducing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, 1 is a shelf, 2 is a disk, 3
Is a control device, 4 is a conversion function, 5 is an automatic reproduction function, 6 is a first disc reproduction device, 7 is a second disc reproduction device,
Reference numeral 8 is a robot, 9 is a display device, 10 is an enclosure, and 11 is a door.

FIG. 2 shows a display device which is an embodiment of the present invention. The operation of the automatic disc reproducing apparatus configured as described above will be described below.

First, on the shelf 1, 001.002.003.
The position information is assigned to each unit such as 101, 102, ...

The disk 2 has 0001.0002.
A unique name such as a song number and a disk number is assigned as in 0003 ..., which is present over the number of shelves, and only some of the disks are stored in the shelf 1.

When the proper name is inputted from the outside, the control device 3 instructs the robot 8 to the position information of the shelf by the conversion function 4. Then, the display device 9 displays that the table (0) of the disc number 001 is moved from the shelf 001 to the second disc reproducing device 7 as shown in FIG. 2, and the robot 8 displays the disc of the instructed position information. It is inserted into the second disc reproducing device 7.

When the disc is inserted in the second disc reproducing device 7, the disc is reproduced by the automatic reproducing function 5.

The above is the normal operation, but when the robot 8 fails and cannot operate, the display device 9 displays and the designated disk (001) of the designated shelf (001) is designated by the acquisition. Second disc playback device 7
Then, the second disc reproducing device 7 is reproduced by the automatic reproducing function 5.

[0020]

By the above means, it is possible to provide a highly reliable automatic disk reproducing apparatus that can be operated even if the robot fails.
