[Prior Art]

 In recent years, a roller that supports a rotary tray of a disc player that mounts and reproduces a plurality of discs while rotating it is required to have a simpler structure that is easy to install and has a small number of installation steps. ..

An example of the above-described conventional roller mounting mechanism used in a disc player will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 16 is an exploded perspective view showing the structure of a disc player using a conventional roller mounting mechanism, FIG. 17 is a sectional view taken along line AA of FIG. 16, and FIG. 18 is a sectional view taken along line BB of FIG. ..

In FIGS. 16 to 18, the tray base 50 is housed in the hole 51 a of the panel chassis 51, and the ribs 51 b provided on the left and right of the panel chassis 51 have the guide portions 50 a on the left and right of the tray base 50. It is fitted and movable in the direction of arrow AB. The left and right 52 are pressing plates, which are combined with the left and right sliding surfaces 50b of the tray base 50 to regulate the upward movement amount (vertical play) of the tray base 50 and prevent it from coming off. It is fixed.

Reference numeral 53 denotes a rotary tray, and as shown in FIG. 17, an outer circumference 54 b of three rollers 54 having shaft portions 54 a rotatably attached to the claw portions 50 c, the receiving ribs 50 d and the holes 50 i of the tray base 50. The rib 53c is in contact with the hole 53d, the hole 53d is fitted to the shaft 50e of the tray base 50, and is rotatably attached in the direction of arrow CD, and the center of the five disk mounting portions 53a is attached. The notch 53b is provided in the.

At this time, since the roller 54 stably receives the rotary tray 53, the roller 54 and the tray base 50 cannot be seen from the cutout 53b of the outer appearance of the rotary tray 53, which is unsightly. The rib 53c and the rib 53c are arranged on the outer circumference of the rotary tray 53 as much as possible (L1 dimension portion in FIG. 17).

The motor 55 attached to the tray base 50 has a tooth portion 53 e of the rotary tray 53 and a tooth portion of the worm 60 via a reduction mechanism including a motor pulley 56, a belt 57, a worm pulley 58, a worm shaft 59, and a worm 60. By driving the portion 60a, the rotary tray 53 is rotated in the directions of arrows CD. As shown in FIG. 18, the worm 60 is press-fitted together with the worm pulley 58 into the worm shaft 59, and the worm shaft 59 is rotatably attached to the bearing portion 50f of the tray base 50. Reference numeral 61 is a disk.

The motor 62 attached to the panel chassis 51 is connected to the drive gear via a reduction mechanism including a motor pulley 63, a belt 64, a pulley gear 65, and a drive gear 66, and a rack 50 g provided on the lower surface of the tray base 50. The tooth base 66a of 66 drives the tray base 50 to move in the direction of arrow AB.

Reference numeral 67 is a disc reproducing portion, 67 a is a turntable for carrying the disc 61 placed on the rotary tray 53, the shaft portion 67 b is for the supporting portion 51 c of the panel chassis 51, and the disc reproducing portion 67 is for It is attached so as to be rotatable in the direction of arrow E-F. Further, the pin 67c is coupled with the cam portion 68a of the elevating gear 68, and the rotation of the elevating gear 68 causes the disc reproducing portion 67 to rotate in the EF direction.

The motor 69 is configured to rotate the elevating gear 68 via a reduction mechanism including a motor pulley 70, a belt 71, and a pulley gear 72.

Reference numeral 73 denotes a clamper that passes the cutout 53 b of the rotary tray 53 and carries the disc 61 between it and the turntable 67 a of the disc reproducing portion 67. The clamper 73 has a hole in a clamp plate 74 attached to the panel chassis 51. It is rotatably attached to 74a. Incidentally, 50h of the tray base 50 is an opening for the disc reproducing portion 67 to enter.

The operation of the roller mounting mechanism configured as described above will be described below. First, in order to place the disc 61 on the rotary tray 53, when a command is issued to take out the tray base 50 and the rotary tray 53 to the outside of the panel chassis 51 (that is, the disc loading / unloading position), the motor 62 rotates and the motor pulley. Since the tooth portion 66a of the drive gear 66 drives the rack 50g of the tray base 50 in the direction of the arrow A through the speed reducing mechanism composed of 63, the belt 64, the pulley gear 65, and the drive gear 66, the tray base 50 is The disk mounting portion 53a of the rotary tray 53 stops at the disk attaching / detaching position outside the panel chassis 51. At this time as well, since the sliding surface 50b of the tray base 50 is held by the pressing plate 52, the amount of upward movement (vertical backlash) is restricted and it does not come off.

Then, the disk 61 is mounted on the disk mounting portion 53a of the rotary tray 53 (in this embodiment, two disks can be simultaneously mounted). When the next disk 61 is placed on the remaining disk placement portion 53a of the rotary tray 53, the motor 55 is rotated by a command, and the motor pulley 56, the belt 57, the worm pulley 58, the worm shaft 59, and the worm 60 are rotated. The tooth portion 60a of the worm 60 drives the tooth portion 53e of the rotary tray 53 in the direction of arrow CD through the deceleration mechanism including the rotary tray 53 and the roller 54 together with the roller 54 for each section of the disc mounting portion 53a. It rotates in the direction of arrow CD.

Then, since the disc mounting portion 53 a on which the disc 61 is not yet mounted is stopped at the place outside the panel chassis 51, the next disc 61 can be mounted. By repeating this, the disks 61 can be mounted on the disk mounting portions 53a of all the rotary trays 53.

Next, when a command is issued to reproduce the disc 61, first, the motor 62 rotates in the opposite direction to the above, so the tray base 50 also moves in the direction of arrow B opposite to the above, and the panel chassis 51. It stops when it is stored inside (that is, the disc storage position).

Next, since the motor 55 rotates to move the disc 61 to be reproduced to the reproduction position, the rotary tray 53 also rotates in the direction of arrow CD and the disc specified below the clamper 73 at the reproduction position. Stop when 61 arrives. Next, the motor 69 rotates, and the elevating gear 68 is rotated through the speed reducer mechanism including the motor pulley 70, the belt 71, and the pulley gear 72. Therefore, the cam reproducing portion 68a of the elevating gear 68 connects the disc reproducing portion. The pin 67c of 67 moves, and the disc reproducing section 67 rotates in the direction of arrow E to carry the disc 61 between the turntable 67a and the clamper 73 and start reproducing.

When the reproduction is completed, the motor 69 first rotates in the opposite direction to rotate the disk reproducing portion 67 in the arrow F direction in order to reproduce the next disk 61, and then the motor 55 rotates to rotate the rotary tray. 53 is rotated in the direction of arrow CD to move the next disk 61 to the reproducing position, and the disk reproducing portion 67 is rotated in the direction of arrow E in the same manner as described above to reproduce the disk 61. By repeating this, all the discs 61 placed on the rotary tray 53 can be reproduced.

Next, when the reproduction of the disc 61 is completed and the disc 61 is replaced or taken out, when a command is issued, the motor 69 first rotates to rotate the disc reproducing portion 67 in the arrow F direction, and then the motor 62 is rotated. The rotation moves the tray base 50 in the direction of the arrow A, and the disk 61 placed on the rotary tray 53 is ejected to the outside of the panel chassis 51 (that is, the disk attachment / detachment position). By rotating 55, the disk 61 can be replaced or taken out while rotating the rotary tray 53.

When another disc 61 is replaced or ejected while the disc 61 is still being reproduced, when a command is issued, the tray base 50 is moved in the direction of arrow A by the rotation of the motor 62, and the panel chassis is moved. Since the disc 61 placed on the rotary tray 53 comes out of the 51 (that is, at the disc attaching / detaching position), the disc 61 other than the one being reproduced is rotated while the rotary tray 53 is rotated by the rotation of the motor 55 by a command. It can be exchanged or taken out.

Reference numeral 35i is a rib extending downward, and when it rotates in the direction of arrow M, it is operated in conjunction with the knob 28a of the switch 28 of the mechanism block.

The operation of the roller mounting mechanism configured as described above will be described below. First, since the disk 17 is placed on the rotary tray 8, the tray base 1 and the rotary tray 8 are mounted on the panel 3 from the initial state shown in FIGS. 6 (C), 14 (B) and 15 (A). When a command is issued to the outside (that is, the disk attachment / detachment position), the motor 18 rotates in the direction of the arrow a as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, and comprises the motor pulley 19, the belt 20, the pulley gear 21, and the reduction gear 22. Since the elevating gear 23 is driven in the a direction via the reduction mechanism, the control gear 24 also rotates in the a direction, the toothless gear 24b starts to mesh with the tooth portion 25a of the drive gear A25, and the drive gear A25 moves in the a direction. Rotate to.

Then, the close lock gear 33 is rotated in the J direction from the state of FIG. 15 (A), and the state shown in FIG. 15 (C) is passed through FIG. 15 (B). The rotation in the J direction is stopped by contacting the pin 1p of the base 1, the rack portion 33b of the close lock gear 33 and the rack 1j of the tray base 1 are aligned on the same line, and the drive gear A25 is moved in the a direction. Since the drive moves from the gear 33d to the rack portion 33b, the tray base 1 next moves in the direction of arrow A.

In the open lock gear 35, the square pin 35g engages with the rib 5d of the mechanical base 5 to restrict the rotation in the direction of the arrow M, and the rack portion 35b of the open lock gear 35 and the tray base 1 are prevented. 15D, the rack portion 35b meshes with the tooth portion 25b of the drive gear A25, and the rack 1j of FIG.

At this time, since the end tooth 1s of the rack 1j of the tray base 1 has a shape in which one side is cut as shown in the drawing, the open lock gear 35 is slightly rotated in the direction of the arrow M, Even if the planar overlap between the end tooth 1s of the rack 1j of the tray base 1 and the end tooth 35c of the rack portion 35b of the open lock gear 35 is slightly deviated, the meshing with the tooth portion 25b of the drive gear A25 is not hindered. ..

Then, the stopper 1t of the tray base 1 comes into contact with the rear end of the slide portion 5a of the mechanical base 5 to complete the movement of the tray base 1 in the direction of the arrow A, and the open lock gear 35 includes the square pin 35g and the mechanical base. 5 is out of alignment with the rib 5d, and the drive of the drive gear A25 in the a direction shifts from the rack portion 35b to the gear 35d. 15 (E), the rib 35i of the open lock gear 35 pushes the knob 28a of the switch 28, the switch 28 is turned ON, and the rotation of the motor 18 is stopped.

This state is the disc loading / unloading position shown in FIGS. 6 (B), 14 (A) and 15 (E). At this time, as shown in FIG. 6 (B), the unsightly claw portion 1d of the tray base 1 is housed inside the panel 3 so as not to appear. At this time, the tray base 1 is not limited to the weak claw portion 1d but has a sufficient sliding force to prevent the upward movement of the eaves portion 4c of the guide L4 and the eaves portion 6b of the guide R6 and the prevention of disengagement. And the moving surface 1e. Further, the open lock gear 35 and the drive gear A25 are locked so that the tray base 1 does not move in the direction of arrow B even when an external force is applied.

Then, the disc 17 is placed on the disc placing portion 8c of the rotary tray 8 (two discs can be placed simultaneously in this embodiment). When the next disk 17 is to be placed on the remaining disk placement portion 8c of the rotary tray 8, the motor 16 is rotated when a command is issued, and the reduction gear mechanism composed of the motor pulley 15, the belt 14 and the worm pulley 13 is used. The worm 10 drives the spur gear 8e of the rotary tray 8 in the direction of arrow CD, so that the rotary tray 8 rotates together with the roller 9 in the direction of arrow CD in each section of the disc mounting portion 8c. Since the disc mounting portion 8c on which the disc 17 is not placed stops outside the panel 3, the next disc 17 is placed. By repeating this, the disks 17 can be mounted on the disk mounting portions 8c of all the rotary trays 8.

At this time, the roller 9 and the claw portion 1g of the tray base 1 and the receiving rib 1h cannot be seen from the cutout 8d of the rotary tray 8 which is an external appearance, and even if a force due to a drop during transportation is applied, The roller 9 does not come off from the tray base 1 because the side surface of the outer periphery 9b contacts the rib 1i first.

Next, when a command is issued to store the tray base 1 and the rotary tray 8 inside the panel 3 (that is, the disk storage position), the motor 18 first rotates in the direction b opposite to the above. The elevation gear 23, the control gear 24, and the drive gear A25 also rotate in the b direction opposite to the above.

Then, the open lock gear 35 rotates in the L direction from the state of FIG. 15 (E) to become FIG. 15 (D), and the elongated hole 35 h of the open lock gear 35 contacts the pin 1 v of the tray base 1. The rotation in the L direction stops upon contact, the rack portion 35b of the open lock gear 35 and the rack 1j of the tray base 1 are aligned on the same line, and the drive gear A25 is driven in the b direction from the gear portion 35d to the rack portion. Since it moves to 35b, the tray base 1 moves in the direction of arrow B next. Accordingly, the square pin 35g of the open lock gear 35 engages with the rib 5d of the mechanical base 5, so that the open lock gear 35 is restricted from rotating in the arrow M direction.

When the tray base 1 further moves in the B direction, the square pin 33g of the close lock gear 33 abuts on the rib 5c of the mechanical base 5, so that the close lock gear 33 rotates in the J direction to close. From the state in which the rack portion 33b of the lock gear 33 and the rack 1j of the tray base 1 are substantially aligned on the same line, the rack portion 33b meshes with the tooth portion 25b of the drive gear A25, as shown in FIG.

At this time, since the end teeth 1m of the rack 1j of the tray base 1 has a shape in which one side is cut as shown in the drawing, the close lock gear 33 is slightly rotated in the arrow K direction, Even if the planar overlap between the end teeth 1m of the rack 1j of the tray base 1 and the end teeth 33c of the rack portion 33b of the close lock gear 33 is slightly deviated, the meshing with the tooth portion 25b of the drive gear A25 is not hindered. ..

Then, the stopper 1n of the tray base 1 comes into contact with the front end of the slide portion 5a of the mechanical base 5 to end the movement of the tray base 1 in the direction of arrow B, and the driving gear A25 is driven in the direction of b. Since the gear moves from the rack portion 33b to the gear 33d, the close lock gear 33 rotates in the direction of arrow K to be in the state of FIG. 15 (B).

Then, the toothless gear 24b of the control gear 24 and the tooth portion 25a of the drive gear A25 disengage from each other, and the drive gear A25 is no longer driven, but the control gear 24 rotates in the b direction as it is. Then, when the hole 24e of the control gear 24 is connected to the knob 27a of the switch 27 and the DOWN side of the switch 27 is turned OFF, this time it is inverted and rotated in the a direction, and the DOWN side of the switch 27 is turned ON again. Since the rotation of the motor 18 is stopped in the other place, that is, the state of FIG. 14B, the rotation of the control gear 24 is also stopped.

On the other hand, the close lock gear 33 is not driven by the biasing force of the spring 34 after the disengagement of the tooth-chipped gear 24 b of the control gear 24 and the tooth portion 25 a of the drive gear A 25. At the same time, it is further rotated in the K direction, and the elongated hole 33h comes into contact with the pin 1p of the tray base 1 as shown in FIG. 15 (A). This state is the initial state shown in FIG. 6 (C), FIG. 14 (B) and FIG. 15 (A), and is also the disc storage position.

At this time, the stopper 1n of the tray base 1 is in contact with the front end of the slide portion 5a of the mechanical base 5, and the circular arc rib 33f of the close lock gear 33 and the ring-shaped rib 25c of the drive gear A25 are in contact with each other. As a result, the meshing pitch of the gear 33d of the close lock gear 33 and the tooth portion 25b of the drive gear A25 is properly maintained. Therefore, even with a small biasing force of the spring 34, the close lock gear 33 rotates in the arrow K direction. Can be completed. Further, the close lock gear 33 and the drive gear A 25 lock the tray base 1 so that the tray base 1 does not move in the direction of arrow A even if a force such as a drop during transportation is applied, as shown in FIG. 6 (C). As described above, the movement amount restriction and the prevention of the upward movement of the tray base 1 from the eaves portion 4c of the guide L4 and the eaves portion 6b of the guide R6 are controlled not by the weak claw portion 1d but by the sliding surface having sufficient strength. And 1e.

Further, when the tray base 1 is moved in the direction of the arrow AB, the power is turned off, etc., so that the tray base 1 is temporarily placed in the position shown in FIG. Even if it is added, as shown in FIG. 5, the claw portion 1d of the tray base 1 does not rotate in the arrow F direction because the force point a is inside the fulcrum b, so the tray base 1d does not rotate. The upward movement restriction and the removal prevention of the claw portion 1d of No. 1, the eaves portion 4c of the guide L4, and the eaves portion 6b of the guide R6 do not come off.

Next, when a command is issued to reproduce the disc 17, the motor 18 first rotates in the b direction from the state of FIG. 14 (B) as shown in FIG. 12 and FIG. The gear 24 also rotates in the b direction. Then, the pin 30d of the disc reproducing portion 30 which is linked by the cam portion 23b of the elevating gear 23 moves, and the disc reproducing portion 30 rotates in the direction of the arrow H to move the disc between the turntable 30a and the clamper 31. Carry 17 After that, the connection of the control gear 24 with the knob 27a of the switch 27 is changed from the hole 24e to the inside 24d of the upper surface, the UP side of the switch 27 is turned on, and the rotation of the motor 18 is stopped. The rotation of 24 also stops, and the state shown in FIG. Then, the reproduction of the disc 17 is started.

When the reproduction is completed, the motor 18 first rotates in the direction a opposite to the above from the state of FIG. 14C to reproduce the next disc 17, so that the lifting gear 23 and the control gear 24 also. The disc reproducing unit 30 rotates in the direction a and rotates in the direction of arrow I. Then, the connection of the control gear 24 with the knob 27a of the switch 27 becomes from the hole 24e to the inside 24d of the upper surface opposite to the above, the DOWN side of the switch 27 is turned ON, and the rotation of the motor 18 is stopped. The rotations of the lifting gear 23 and the control gear 24 also stop, and the state shown in FIG.

Thereafter, the rotation of the motor 16 causes the rotary tray 8 to rotate in the direction of arrow CD, and the next disk 17 moves below the clamper 31, which is the reproduction position. Since it rotates in the direction, the disc reproducing portion 30 rotates in the direction of the arrow H, the state shown in FIG. 14C is reached, and the disc 17 is reproduced. By repeating this operation, all the disks 17 placed on the rotary tray 8 can be reproduced.

Next, when the disc 17 is being reproduced, that is, in the state of FIG. 14C, when another disc 17 is replaced or taken out, the motor 18 first rotates in the b direction when a command is issued. The lifting gear 23 and the control gear 24 also rotate in the b direction. Then, the tooth-chipped gear 24c of the control gear 24 starts to mesh with the tooth portion 26a of the drive gear B26, and the tooth portion 26b of the drive gear B26 drives the tooth portion 25a of the drive gear A25, so that the driving gear A25 moves in the a direction. Rotate to.

Then, similarly to the above, the tray base 1 moves in the direction of arrow A from the state of FIG. 15A through the states of FIG. 15B and FIG. 15C, and the state of FIG. After that, as shown in FIG. 15 (E) and FIG. 14 (D), the disk attaching / detaching position shown in FIG. 6 (B), FIG. 14 (D) and FIG. 15 (E) is reached. By rotating the motor 16, the rotary tray 8 can be rotated in the direction of arrow CD while the disk 17 other than the one being reproduced can be replaced or taken out.

Then, after the disk 17 is exchanged or taken out, when a command is issued to put the tray base 1 and the rotary tray 8 inside the panel 3 (that is, the disk storage position), the motor 18 first reverses the above. Since it rotates in the direction a, the lifting gear 23, the control gear 24, and the drive gear A25 also rotate in the direction a opposite to the above.

Then, similarly to the above, the tray base 1 moves in the direction of arrow B from the state of FIG. 15 (E) through the state of FIG. 15 (D), and after FIG. ), The toothless gear 24c of the control gear 24 and the tooth portion 26a of the drive gear B26 are disengaged from each other, and the drive gear A25 is not driven, but the control gear 24 remains in the a direction. When the knob 27a of the switch 27 is rotated and the hole 24e of the control gear 24 is engaged and the UP side of the switch 27 is turned OFF, it is inverted and rotated in the b direction, and the UP side of the switch 27 is turned ON again. At that point, that is, in the state of FIG. 14 (C), the rotation of the motor 18 stops, so the rotation of the control gear 24 also stops.

On the other hand, the close lock gear 33 is driven by the biasing force of the spring 34 in the same manner as above after the disengagement of the toothless gear 24c of the control gear 24 and the tooth portion 26a of the drive gear B 26 is disengaged. The drive gear A25 and the drive gear B26 which are no longer rotated are further rotated in the K direction, and the elongated hole 33h comes into contact with the pin 1p of the tray base 1 as shown in FIG. 15 (A). The disk storage position shown in FIGS. 14 (C) and 15 (A) is reached.

In this way, the close lock gear 33 rotates in the direction of arrow K by the urging force of the spring 34, and always stops at the position of FIG. 15A where the elongated hole 33h abuts the pin 1p of the tray base 1. Therefore, the stopping positions of the meshed drive gear A25 and drive gear B26 are also limited, and therefore, as shown in FIG. 13, the toothed portion 24a of the control gear 24 is inserted into the tooth portion 25a of the drive gear A25 and the drive gear A25 is driven. Control of B26 to the tooth portion 26a The toothless gear 24c of the gear 24 is entered without interference of the tooth portion.

Next, when the reproduction of the disk 17 is finished and a command for initializing the disk 17 is issued, the motor 18 first rotates in the a direction in the same manner as described above. Therefore, the elevating gear 23 and the control gear 24 also rotate in the a direction. Then, the disc reproducing unit 30 rotates in the direction of arrow I. Then, the connection of the control gear 24 with the knob 27a of the switch 27 becomes the inside 24d of the upper surface on the opposite side from the hole 24e, the DOWN side of the switch 27 is turned on, and the rotation of the motor 18 is stopped. The rotation of the elevating gear 23 and the control gear 24 also stops, and the state shown in FIG. 14 (B) is established, and the initial state shown in FIG. 6 (C), FIG. 14 (B) and FIG. 15 (A) is obtained.
