Regarding a winding device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, in a broadcasting station or the like, a video tape cassette reproduced and used for broadcasting a program is generally judged to be reusable based on a channel condition indicated by an error rate of reproduced data and stored. To be done. The numerical value of this channel condition includes all the conditions from recording conditions to playback and detection of digital data, so the factors that depend on the performance of the video tape recorder are high, and the evaluation of the video tape itself is high. Not necessarily appropriate. Therefore, as an evaluation method, a method has been proposed in which a digital error state caused by a video tape is associated with a channel condition.

Burst errors mainly caused by scratches and dropouts on the magnetic layer of the video tape are examples of digital errors caused by the video tape. In addition, digital error is caused by dust adhering to the surface of the magnetic layer,
Dirt or wrinkles and edge damage also affect. Therefore, it is preferable that the quality evaluation of the video tape is comprehensively performed for each item described above.

In the video tape cassette, during reproduction operation, the video tape is unwound from the supply side reel and wound around the winding side reel. Therefore, the video tape cassette that has been recycled is used while rewinding the video tape so that it can be reused after the quality evaluation of the video tape described above. On the other hand, the recycled video tape cassette is mounted on the tape winding device and the rewinding operation of the video tape is performed. During this rewinding operation, dust, dirt or magnetic powder adhering to the surface of the magnetic layer is removed. Cleaning is performed. The magnetic tape cleaning device is generally arranged at a position immediately before the video tape pulled out from the take-up reel is pulled into the supply-side reel.

Further, the tape winding device is provided with a magnetic tape winding device for winding the video tape in good condition on the supply reel. This magnetic tape winding apparatus applies pressure contact force to a video tape when winding the video tape, so that edge damage occurs due to a step winding (jumping out) phenomenon, or air is caught between the overlapped video tapes. To prevent wrinkles from occurring. Similar to the magnetic tape cleaning device, the magnetic tape winding device is also disposed at a position immediately before the video tape drawn from the take-up reel is drawn into the supply reel.

A conventional tape cassette winding device is provided with a roller arm member having one end rotatably supported by a touch roller for applying a pressure contact force to a magnetic tape.

Since the displacement amount of the elastic member increases, the pressure contact force of the touch roller gradually increases. Therefore, the touch roller has a problem that the magnetic tape is damaged by the pressure contact force.

The touch roller has a small pressure contact force in order to prevent the magnetic tape from being damaged by the pressure contact force.
There is a problem that the air layer between the magnetic tapes superposed on the tape reel cannot be sufficiently removed and a good winding state cannot be obtained. That is, the roller arm member increases the pressure contact force applied by the touch roller to the magnetic tape wound on the tape reel as the winding diameter of the magnetic tape wound on the tape reel increases. Therefore, the roller arm member needs to appropriately move the touch roller in the diameter direction of the tape reel according to the change in the winding diameter dimension of the magnetic tape.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the touch roller is appropriately moved according to the change in the winding diameter of the magnetic tape wound on the tape reel, and the touch roller is pressed against the magnetic tape with a constant pressure contact force. An object of the present invention is to provide a magnetic tape winding device for a tape cassette that enables the above.

The roller arm supporting member that slidably supports the roller arm member so as to move in the direction and the roller arm supporting member are assembled. Comprising a a plate, a roller arm driving mechanism for sliding operation along the roller arm member to the roller arm supporting member.

Further, there is provided a vertical drive mechanism for moving the plate to a raised position retracted above the running path of the magnetic tape and a touch roller to a lowered position where the height of the touch roller matches that of the magnetic tape wound on the tape reel. Furthermore, the roller arm drive mechanism includes a first detection sensor that detects the amount of movement of the roller arm, and a first detection member that corresponds to this first detection sensor. The roller arm drive mechanism detects a second detection sensor that detects an overload that occurs in the roller arm that applies a pressure contact force to the magnetic tape wound on the tape reel, and a second detection sensor that corresponds to the second detection sensor. And a detection member.

[0013]

The magnetic tape winding apparatus for a tape cassette according to the present invention having the above-described structure is provided with a vertical drive mechanism so that the lifted position where the plate is retracted above the running path of the magnetic tape and the touch roller are the tape reels. It is moved to a descending position where the height of the magnetic tape is matched with that of the magnetic tape. Therefore, in the magnetic tape straightening device of this tape cassette, when the magnetic tape is pulled out from the tape cassette, the plate is retracted to the raised position, and after the running path of the magnetic tape is constructed, it is wound onto the tape reel. The plate is moved to the lowered position so that the touch roller is located on the same plane as the magnetic tape to be used.

Further, the magnetic tape winding device of the tape cassette is provided with the first detection sensor for detecting the movement amount of the roller arm member and the first detection member corresponding to the first detection sensor. The pressure contact force applied by the touch roller to the magnetic tape wound on the tape reel is detected. The tape cassette winding device moves the roller arm member in accordance with the amount of change in the winding diameter of the magnetic tape, so that the touch roller is constantly pressed against the magnetic tape wound on the tape reel. It is pressed by force.

Further, the magnetic tape winding device of the tape cassette includes a second detection sensor for detecting an overload generated in the roller arm member for applying a pressure contact force to the magnetic tape wound on the tape reel, and the second detection sensor. By providing the second detection member corresponding to the detection sensor, the movement of the roller arm member is stopped when the pressure contact force applied to the magnetic tape wound around the tape reel is overloaded.
