Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial field of application" The present invention is a display of a disc player in which a disc on which music or the like is recorded by using a digital signal is mounted on a turntable, and the disc is read and reproduced by an optical pickup. Regarding the device.

"Conventional Technology" Conventionally, there has been a technology in which, for example, a magazine that accommodates 10 discs in multiple stages is provided, the magazines are mounted in a disc player, and an intended disc is taken out from the magazine and reproduced through an autochanger mechanism or the like.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] In the above-mentioned conventional technology, when the magazine is installed in the disc player, the disc condition in the magazine, that is, the entire disc storage state, the number of the disc being played, etc. are confirmed. However, the operation of selecting the disk was troublesome, for example, once the magazine was taken out, the condition of the disk was checked, and then the disk was mounted again.

Therefore, when displaying the disc status inside the magazine, if a liquid crystal display plate is provided on the lid surface provided in the magazine insertion hole of the main body case, other indicators and switches etc. are installed and the front surface of the main case other than the magazine insertion part is violated. However, this does not hinder compactness, but there is a problem that the liquid crystal display plate is easily damaged because the lid is impacted each time the magazine is inserted.

"Means for Solving Problems" However, the present invention is provided with a disc storage magazine that stores a plurality of discs in a single body and mounts it in the main body case, and when inserting the magazine into the main body case, the magazine of the main body case In a disc player in which the lid provided in the insertion hole is pushed open by a magazine and inserted, a liquid crystal display plate for indicating the disc condition inside the magazine is provided on the side surface adjacent to the disc insertion side surface of the magazine and the liquid crystal display is used. An electrical contact that supplies electricity to the plate from the main body side,
It is provided on the side surface of the magazine opposite to the liquid crystal display panel mounting surface.

Therefore, by inserting the magazine straight into the main body case, the electrical contacts on the magazine side can be connected to the electrical contacts on the main body case, and the liquid crystal display board can be exposed on the magazine insertion surface of the main body case. Moreover, when the magazine is inserted into the main body case, the lid of the magazine insertion slot does not hit the liquid crystal display plate of the magazine, so damage to the liquid crystal display plate can be prevented in advance, and the disc condition inside the magazine can be properly handled by the operator. It can be visually displayed.

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an overall perspective explanatory view, and FIG. 2 is a side explanatory view.
(1) The magazine type is the case of the disc player,
(2) is a front panel fitted to the front of the case (1), (3)
Is a disc storage magazine for collectively storing a plurality of discs (4), (5) is a magazine insertion hole formed in the front panel (2), and (6) is a front panel (2) via a fulcrum shaft (7). It is a lid that is attached to close the insertion hole (5).

And, the disc tray (8) is stretched up and down in multiple stages in the magazine (3) so that the disc (4) can be stored and taken out from the open surface of the magazine (3) on one side of the tray (8). Is forming.

The magazine (3) is equipped with a liquid crystal display plate (9) for indicating the disc condition (for example, what song of which disc is being played and its time, etc.), and this display plate (9) is used for the magazine. It is mounted on the front surface (10) of (3) and is provided with an electrical contact (11) on the back surface of the magazine (3) for connecting to a power source on the main body side to supply electricity to the display board (9), and further to the display board ( The magazine (3) is provided with a storage element (12) such as a ROM or a RAM for storing the display content of 9).

Then, while storing the discs (4) in a plurality of magazines (3) and mounting the magazines (3) in the main body case (1), the discs (4) of interest are reproduced. Since the disc status is displayed on the front surface (10) of the magazine (3), that is, on the surface of the magazine insertion hole as shown in FIG. 1, the operator sees this and performs the next disc selection and track search operations. It can be done accurately.

In addition, once the magazine (3) is taken out and stored, and after a few hours or the next day when the magazine (3) is loaded again and the rest of the performance is opened, a display element when the magazine (3) is taken out by the storage element
Since the display of (9) can be displayed on the display plate (9) when reattached,
The disc selection and track search during playback can be properly performed.

As is apparent from the above embodiments, the present invention is provided with a disc storage magazine (3) that stores a plurality of discs (4) at a time and mounts them in the main body case (1). When inserting into 1), the magazine insertion hole of the body case (1)
In a disc player in which the lid (6) provided on (5) is pushed open by the magazine (3) and inserted, the liquid crystal display plate (9) for displaying the disc condition inside the magazine (3) is attached to the magazine (3). ) Is provided on the side surface adjacent to the disk insertion side surface, and an electric contact (11) for supplying electricity to the liquid crystal display plate (9) from the main body side is provided on the side opposite to the liquid crystal display plate mounting surface of the magazine (3). It is provided on the side surface, and the electric contact (11) on the magazine (3) side can be connected to the electric contact on the main case (1) side simply by inserting the magazine (3) straight into the main case (1). At the same time, the LCD panel (9) can be exposed on the surface of the magazine insertion port (5) of the main body case (1), and when inserting the magazine (3) into the main body case (1), the magazine insertion port Since the lid of (5) does not hit the liquid crystal surface plate (9) of the magazine (3), damage to the liquid crystal surface plate (9) can be prevented in advance. Magazine (3) in which the effect of such an internal disk circumstances can be properly visible display to the operator.
