Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for loading a compact disc into a disc player, for example, a car disc player for a vehicle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in loading a car disc player, pushing an eject button causes the disc to stop playing, and the chucking is released to take out the disc from the opening which is the entrance of the housing by the loading roller. . Then, when a new disc is inserted from the opening, the disc detection switch provided in the vicinity of the opening detects that the disc has been inserted, and the loading roller is driven to bring the new disc into the play position. The new disc is played after being chucked by the lifting and chucking clamps.

[0003]

However, in such a conventional car disc player loading method, a disc already inserted is ejected, and a new disc is inserted after the disc is pulled out, so that a disc is additionally inserted. However, there is a problem in that the replacement is troublesome and time-consuming while driving the car. The present invention has been made in view of the above problems of the prior art, and by allowing the second disc to be additionally inserted while the first disc is playing, the disc can be easily replaced, It is an object of the present invention to provide a disc player loading method capable of significantly reducing the time and effort required for replacement.

[0004]

A loading method of a disc player according to the present invention comprises a plurality of loading rollers in front of and / or behind and / or beside a disc motor provided in a casing having a disc insertion opening.
If the second disk is additionally inserted from the insertion port while the first disk is playing on the disk table on the disk motor, the playing of the first disk is stopped, and the first disk is moved to the rear or side. It is characterized in that it is moved onto a loading roller and the second disk is loaded onto the disk table.

[0005]

According to the present invention, when the second disc is additionally inserted from the insertion opening, the inserted first disc is moved to the rear or side of the disc motor to carry the second disc to the play position. On the other hand, by moving the second disk forward, it becomes possible to move the first disk to the play position again.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 to 8 are views showing an embodiment of a disc player for carrying out a disc player loading method according to the present invention. In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 100 denotes a car disc player for a vehicle which is a disc player, and the car disc player 100 is a front panel 1A.
A housing 1 having an inlet 3 which is an insertion opening for inserting a disc is provided. A disk motor 2 is provided substantially in the center of the housing 1, and a disk table 7 for mounting and playing a disk is rotatably provided on the disk motor 2. In addition, the front side and the entrance side 3 of the housing 1
After the other side (left side in FIG. 1) opposite to
The front and rear loading rollers 4, 5 are arranged respectively. In order to load and play the first disc by the car disc player 100, the first disc 6 is inserted from the entrance 3 of the housing 1 as shown in FIGS. The insertion of the first disk 6 is detected by a first disk detection switch (not shown), and the front loading roller 4 is driven as shown by an arrow A in the drawing by a controller (not shown), so that it is placed on both sides of the disk motor 2. It is inserted into a play position straddling a front loading roller 4 and a rear loading roller, and stopped by a first stopper (not shown). Then, the disc motor 2 is raised to the position of the roller surface to raise the disc by the disc table 7, and the chucking table 8 provided in the casing 1 is lowered to be chucked to start playing. .

Next, as shown in FIG. 5, when a new second disk 9 is inserted from the entrance 3 of the housing 1, the insertion of the second disk 9 is detected by the first disk detection switch and chucking is performed. As the table 8 is raised, the disc motor 2 is lowered and the first disc 6 on the disc table 7 is unloaded onto the front and rear loading rollers 4 and 5 on both sides of the disc motor 2, and this unloading is When detected by a disc detection switch 2 (not shown), front and rear loading rollers 4 and 5 are indicated by arrow B in FIG.
Is driven like. Then, as shown in FIG.
Disk 6 is stopped by a second stopper (not shown) and moved after the disk motor 2, and the second disk 9 is stopped by the first stopper and carried into the play position. Similarly to the above case, the second disk 9 is loaded on the disk table 7 by the disk motor 2 moving upward on the roller surface, and the chucking table 8 is chucked by the lowering of the chucking table 8 to start playing.

On the other hand, when the first disc 6 is to be played again after or during the play of the second disc 9, a play switching button (not shown) attached to the front panel of the housing 1 is pushed. Then, the chucking table 8 is raised and the disk motor 2 is lowered to move the second
Discs are unloaded on the front and rear loading rollers 4 and 5 on both sides of the disc motor 2, and when this unloading is detected by the second disc detection switch, the front and rear loading rollers are set as shown in FIG. 4, 5 are driven as shown by arrow C.
Then, as shown in FIG. 8, the first disc 6 is stopped by a third stopper (not shown) and moved to the play position, and the second disc 9 is stopped in conjunction with the stop of the first disc 6. Then, the state where it is inserted into the entrance 3 by the previous loading roller 4 is obtained. After that, the first disk 6 is chucked by the ascending of the disk motor 2 and the descending of the chucking table 8, and the play is started.

In the above loading method, the first disk 6 is moved after the disk motor 2 and the second disk 6 is moved.
While it is possible to carry the disc 9 into the play position,
By moving the second disk 9 forward, it is possible to move the first disk 6 to the play position again, so that a new second disk can be created despite the inserted disk. The first disc can be played again by additionally inserting and playing, and the disc can be easily exchanged while the vehicle is driving, and the time and effort required for the exchange can be greatly reduced. You can drive a car in a relaxed manner.

In the above embodiment, the loading roller 4 is arranged before and after the disc motor 2 provided in the housing 1, and the loading method for moving the first disc 6 after the disc motor 2 is described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, as shown in FIG. 9, the loading roller 10 is arranged beside the disc motor 2 (lower side in FIG. 9) and the first disc 6 is moved to the side of the disc motor 2. As a loading method, the same operation and effect can be obtained. In addition, as shown in FIG.
A loading method in which 0 is arranged and the first disk 6 is moved backward or sideways may be used. In this case, in addition to the first disc, two new second and third discs can be additionally inserted, three discs can be played alternately, and the same operation as in each of the above embodiments is possible. It is possible to exert an effect.

[0011]

As described above, according to the loading method for the disc player of the present invention, the inserted first disc is moved to the rear or the side of the disc motor, and the new second and third discs are moved. While the disc can be carried into the play position, the first disc can be moved to the play position again by moving the new disc forward, so that despite the presence of the inserted disc,
A new disc can be additionally inserted, the first disc can be played again, the disc can be easily replaced while the vehicle is driving, and the time and effort required for the replacement can be greatly reduced. As a result, the driver can drive the car in a relaxed manner.
