Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cassette loading mechanism for a magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus using a tape cassette, such as a video tape recorder (VTR).

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a front loading type VTR
In the cassette loading mechanism of, the mainstream is a cassette loading motor that supplies a driving force for horizontally and vertically moving the cassette holder that stores the cassette, but in recent years, the cost is reduced and the size is reduced. -A technique has been proposed in which a drive motor having another function is also used as a cassette loading motor in order to reduce the weight.

For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-289572 (G11B15 / 675) discloses that a cassette is loaded using a tape loading motor that drives a tape loading mechanism for pulling out a tape from a cassette and winding the tape around a cylinder. A VTR is disclosed.

In this system, a two-stage pulley is attached to one loading motor, and the driving force from this pulley to the tape loading mechanism by the first belt and the driving force from another pulley to the cassette loading mechanism by the second belt. The cassette loading mechanism includes a cassette holder for accommodating a cassette, a gear lever for horizontally and vertically moving the holder, a gear for meshing with the gear lever, and a mesh for meshing with the gear. Worm, a shaft to which the worm is fixed, a drive pulley coaxially arranged on the shaft, connected to a pulley on the loading motor side by a second belt, and interposed between the drive pulley and the shaft. Is
A clutch that separates the drive force transmission path between the drive pulley and the shaft is provided, and when the cassette loading is completed, the clutch is operated to separate the drive pulley and the shaft.
The driving force from the loading motor is not transmitted to the shaft and the cassette loading mechanism after the worm.

[0005]

In the structure of the prior art, if the cassette loading mechanism stops during the cassette loading operation due to a wrong insertion of a cassette or the like, a slip occurs between the second belt and the pulley. in the meantime,
The driving force is continuously transmitted to the tape loading mechanism side by the first belt, and a timing shift occurs between the tape loading mechanism and the cassette loading mechanism, resulting in an operation failure. Therefore, it is necessary to make the second belt have a high tension, which leads to an increase in load on the motor and a decrease in belt reliability. Even if a high tension belt is used, it is difficult to completely eliminate the timing deviation between the tape loading mechanism and the cassette loading mechanism during long-term use.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to realize a cassette loading mechanism in which a cassette is stably arranged at a predetermined position in a cassette holder when a cassette is inserted.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, there is provided a cassette holder for accommodating a cassette, and the cassette holder is connected to the cassette holder. In a cassette loading mode, the cassette holder is moved from a cassette discharge position to a cassette mounting position. A holder moving means for moving horizontally and vertically between the holder and a driving force transmitting means for transmitting a driving force of a driving motor used for driving the holder moving means to the holder moving means; Switch piece control means for controlling a switch piece for operating the motor in response to the depression of
Holder discharge urging means provided between the driving force transmitting means and the holder moving means to urge the cassette holder to be held at a proper discharge position when the cassette is discharged; and By inserting the cassette holder against the urging force of the urging means, the control means is coupled only to the holder moving means at least until the switch piece is operated, and the drive motor is driven by operating the switch piece. When a force is transmitted to the driving force transmitting means, the control means is connected to both the holder moving means and the driving force transmitting means so as to prevent the cassette holder from moving in the discharge direction. It is characterized by being.

[0008]

Since the present invention is constituted as described above, the control means moves at least the holder moving means until the control means actuates the switch piece for driving the drive motor by inserting the cassette holder against the holder discharge biasing means when the cassette is stored. When the driving force of the drive motor is transmitted to the driving force transmission means by operating the switch piece, the control means is coupled to both the holder moving means and the driving force transmission means. Since the cassette holder is coupled so as to prevent the cassette holder from moving in the ejecting direction, the displacement of the cassette due to the abrupt cassette insertion operation can be prevented.

The guide groove 43 is composed of an arcuate portion 43a extending in an arcuate shape around the support shaft 37, and a straight portion 43b that is connected to the arcuate portion 43a and is bent and enters the support shaft 37 side. It

An eighth gear (locking means) 44 is coaxially supported by the support shaft 37 with the seventh gear 36.
The fourth and fourth bosses are loosely fitted into the openings 40, and the first engagement pins 41 are loosely fitted into the long holes 45 formed in the eighth gear 44, whereby the seventh and eighth gears 36 and 44 and the intermediate plate 39 Are integrally supported by the bracket 33.
By the way, only the eighth gear 44 always meshes with the sixth gear 35, and the seventh gear 36 is not meshed with the sixth gear 35. 46 is a guide pin 47 erected on the bracket 33.
a, 47b extending in the front-rear direction guide grooves 48a, 48
The second toothed portion 46b is a rack (driving force transmitting means) that is loosely fitted to b, and has a tooth formed on the lower edge, and a first tooth having an inner edge bent inward at the lower position. Toothed part 46a
And are arranged. Note that the second toothed portion 46b is a rack 4
In the front half of 6, the first toothed portion 46a is arranged in the rear half. The second toothed portion 46b is always in mesh with the seventh gear 36.

In the top view of FIG. 6, reference numeral 50 denotes a ninth gear rotatably supported by the chassis, which is in mesh with the first toothed portion 46a of the rack 46. Reference numeral 51 denotes a worm wheel that is supported by a support shaft 52 on a chassis, and a small-diameter gear portion 53 is integrally formed coaxially below. The small diameter gear portion 53 always meshes with the ninth gear 50.
A toothless portion 54 is formed on a part of the worm wheel 51. The worm wheel 51 is a drive motor 5
Worm wheel 56 fixed to motor shaft 55a of No. 5
Can be engaged. However, when the toothless portion 54 faces the worm wheel 56, the worm wheel 51
Is separated from the worm 56, and the driving force of the drive motor 55 is not transmitted to the worm wheel 51.

Reference numeral 57 denotes a motor pulley fixed to the motor shaft 55a of the drive motor 55, and is connected to a pulley 69 coaxial with the worm 59 by a belt 58. The worm 59 is a worm wheel 6 supported on a chassis.
The worm wheel 60 is connected to a tape loading mechanism and a pinch roller pressing mechanism by a gear train (not shown). Here, the tape loading mechanism is a mechanism that operates the tape pull-out guide to pull out the tape from the cassette and wind it around the cylinder.The pinch roller crimping mechanism operates the pinch roller crimping lever after the tape loading is completed. It is a mechanism for pinching a pinch roller with a tape in between and pressing it to a capstan, both of which are used in a normal VTR.

Next, the operation of the cassette loading mechanism having the above configuration will be described. In the cassette discharge state shown in FIG. 1, the guide pins 4a, 4b, 5a,
5b are guide grooves 20a, 20b, 10a, 10 respectively.
At the end of b, a pressing pin 28a formed on the second gear 28 presses the movable contact piece of the limit switch 61 screwed and fixed to the bracket 33 to be in the ON state. When the cassette is manually inserted into the cassette holder 1 from this ejected state, and further pressed while pressing the regulating portion 1a to the end of the cassette, the cassette holder 1 is manually moved by about 10 mm, and the gear lever 24 is clocked in conjunction with this. , The second gear 28 rotates counterclockwise, the pressing pin 28a moves away from the limit switch 61, and the limit switch 61 is turned off.

In the cassette discharge state, the first
The gear 27 has a partially missing tooth portion 27d formed in the second gear 2.
8, the movement of the gear lever 24 associated with the above-described cassette pushing operation is not transmitted to the first gear 27 via the second gear 28.
Therefore, the coil spring 62 extends by the movement stroke of the cassette holder 1, and the size of the opening 27a is set to a size that allows this stroke sufficiently.
The gear lever 2 is moved with the movement of the cassette holder 1.
The fourth, third to fifth gears 31, 32, 16 and the gear lever 13 also rotate.

By the way, when the cassette holder 1 is located at the cassette ejection position, the guide groove 4 of the bracket 33 is formed.
3. The groove 38 of the seventh gear 36 and the first of the intermediate plate 39
The positional relationship between the second engagement pins 41 and 42 and the long hole 45 of the eighth gear 44 is as shown in FIG. When the limit switch 61 is turned off, the drive motor 55 is activated, and the worm wheel 51, which was in mesh with the worm 56 in the state shown in FIG. 6, rotates clockwise, and the small diameter gear 5
The ninth gear 50 rotates counterclockwise via 3 and the rack 46 moves in the direction of arrow A. This rack 4
In conjunction with the movement of the sixth gear 6, the seventh gear 36 meshing with the second toothed portion 46b rotates, and from the state shown in FIG.
The engagement pin 42 is pressed by the wall surface 38a of the groove portion 38 to move the arc-shaped portion 43a of the guide groove 43 in the clockwise direction.
With the movement of the second engagement pin 42, the intermediate plate 39
Rotates in the clockwise direction, and the first engaging pin 41 coaxial with the second engaging pin 42 causes the wall surface 45 of the long hole 45 of the eighth gear 44 to move.
As a is pressed, the eighth gear 44 also rotates clockwise in conjunction with the intermediate plate 39. Therefore, with the horizontal movement of the rack 46 in the direction A, the seventh gear 3
6, the intermediate plate 39, and the eighth gear 44 integrally rotate in the clockwise direction from the position shown in FIG.

The clockwise rotation of the eighth gear 44 causes the sixth gear 35 to rotate counterclockwise, the first gear 27 meshing with the sixth gear 35 to rotate clockwise, and the second gear 28 to rotate counterclockwise. The rotation of the second gear 28 also rotates the gear lever 24 in a clockwise direction, and the guide pin 4b is pulled by the link lever 21 through the link 21 to move the guide groove 20b into the first
Move horizontally to the right in the figure. On the other hand, the counterclockwise rotation of the second gear 28 causes the fifth gear 16 to rotate clockwise in FIG. 3 via the third gear 31, the shaft 30, and the fourth gear 32. Therefore, the gear lever 13 rotates counterclockwise, and the guide pin 5b is pulled in the cassette insertion direction via the link 11 to move in the guide groove 10b in the horizontal direction.

With the synchronized horizontal movement of the guide pins 4b and 5b, the cassette holder 1 horizontally moves in the cassette inserting direction, and the guide pins 4a, 4b, 5a and 5b move into the guide groove 20.
When the cassette holder 1 reaches the bent portions of a, 20b, 10a, and 10b, the cassette holder 1 shifts from horizontal movement to vertical movement, and a cassette loading operation is performed. During this cassette loading operation, as shown in FIG.
6, the intermediate plate 39 and the eighth gear 44 integrally rotate in the clockwise direction. Guide pins 4a, 4b, 5a,
When 5b reaches the end of the guide grooves 20a, 20b, 10a, and 10b and the cassette holder 1 reaches the cassette mounting position and immediately before the cassette mounting completion state, the second engagement pin 42 becomes an arc-shaped portion of the guide groove 43. When the drive motor 55 further reaches the end of 43a and the drive motor 55 further rotates, the second engagement pin 42 is pushed into the linear portion 43b as shown in FIG. Since the intermediate plate 39 extends in the direction approaching the support shaft 37 and is pushed by the wall surface 38b of the groove portion 38 of the second engagement pin 42, the intermediate plate 39 continues to rotate and slides in the direction of arrow B in FIG. I do.

When the second engaging pin 42 begins to fall into the linear portion 43b, the elongated hole 45 of the eighth gear 44 is located at a position overlapping with the linear portion 43b, and the first engaging pin 41 is formed.
Does not press the wall surface 45a and rotate the eighth gear 44 only by sliding in the long hole 45. In addition, drive motor 5
When the fifth gear 5 rotates and the clockwise rotation of the seventh gear 36 advances, the second engagement pin 42 is surrounded by the linear portion 43b and the groove 38 as shown in FIG. At 38b, the second engagement pin 42 is prevented from returning to the arc-shaped portion 43a, and the seventh gear 36 is prevented from rotating counterclockwise. The wall surface 38b of the groove portion 38 is formed at a position closer to the support shaft 37 than the wall surface 38a pressing the second engagement pin 42 during the cassette loading operation.

At the same time as the state where the position of the second engaging pin 42 is restricted (self-locking state) as shown in FIG.
, And no driving force is transmitted between the worm wheel 51 and the worm 56. Thereafter, the driving force of the driving motor 55 is
7, the bell and 58, the pulley 69, the worm 59, and the worm wheel 60 are transmitted only to the tape loading mechanism and the pinch roller pressing mechanism, and are not transmitted to the cassette loading mechanism below the worm wheel 51. The mode ends.

When the cassette is completely attached, the cassette holder 1 is integrally formed with a leaf spring.
The cassette is pressed onto the chassis with a constant force by a coil spring (not shown) that connects the b, 1b, the coil spring 26, the link 11 and the gear lever 13a, and the reaction force acts on the cassette holder 1. Although the gear lever 24 and the like try to reverse in the cassette discharging direction, the second engagement pin 42 of the intermediate plate 39 is in a self-locking state, that is, in a state where the position is regulated by being surrounded by the linear portion 43b and the groove 38, and Even if the eighth gear 44 attempts to rotate in the counterclockwise direction due to the reaction force of
Since the force for rotating the seventh gear 36 in the counterclockwise direction does not work, the movement of the cassette holder 1 in the cassette discharge direction due to the reaction force is prevented, and the cassette holder 1 is locked at the cassette mounting position.

When the cassette is ejected, the drive motor 5
5 and the control lever (not shown) forcibly rotates the worm wheel 51 slightly counterclockwise to a position where the toothless portion 54 does not face the worm 56, and the worm 56 and the worm wheel 51 are again rotated. By meshing, the worm wheel 51 is rotated counterclockwise by the drive motor 55, the rack 46 is moved in the direction opposite to the direction A, and when the seventh gear 36 is rotated counterclockwise, the self-lock is released. Second on the wall 38c
The engagement pin 42 is pressed, exits the linear portion 43b,
The seventh gear 36, the intermediate plate 39, and the eighth gear 44 move integrally with each other in the arcuate portion 43a, and the first engagement pin 41 presses the wall surface 45b of the long hole 45, so that the eighth gear 44 is also counterclockwise. And the subsequent gear group also performs the movement in the opposite direction to the above-described cassette loading operation, the cassette holder 1 reaches the original cassette discharge position, and the limit switch 61 is pressed by the pressing pin 28a. , The drive motor 55 is stopped, and the cassette discharging operation is completed.

By the way, when a general user inserts a cassette into the holder 1, the user often releases his / her hand as soon as the cassette is pushed in. When such an operation is performed, the limit switch 61 is turned off and the motor 55 is turned off. Although rotated, the rotation of the motor 55 causes the bent piece 24c of the gear lever 24 to move to the opening 27a of the first gear 27.
Until the cassette holder 1 is brought into contact with the end face 27e of the cassette holder 1, the cassette holder 1 pushed in by the insertion of the cassette is moved in the cassette discharging direction by the restoring force of the coil spring 62, and the position of the cassette in the cassette holder 1 is regular. The cassette is displaced from the position, and this misregistration is detected by the erroneous insertion detection mechanism, causing a situation in which the cassette loading operation is not executed. In particular, the problem at the time of abnormal insertion, such as strongly inserting the cassette with a large recoil, becomes significant.

FIGS. 12 to 14 show an embodiment which solves this problem.
This will be described with reference to the drawings. The first example showing these second examples
2 to 14, the same parts as those in FIGS. 1, 4, and 7 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and other structures are also shown in FIGS.
Since FIG. 5, FIG. 6, FIG. 6, and FIG. 8 to FIG. 11 are the same, these drawings are referred to. That is, in this embodiment, the first
The gear 27 has a first missing tooth 27d1, a second missing tooth 27d2, and stopper teeth 27f provided with two teeth provided between the first missing tooth 27d1 and the second missing tooth 27d2. Have been.

When the cassette is in the ejected state, and when the cassette is inserted from the ejected state by a predetermined movement stroke (about 10 mm) against the bias of the coil spring 62, the first gear 27 moves to its first position. Since the first toothless portion 27d1 faces the second gear 28 and maintains the non-meshed state, the movement of the gear lever 24 due to the pushing operation of the cassette is
It is not transmitted to the first gear 27 via the second gear 28, so that the coil spring 62 extends by the movement stroke of the cassette holder 1, and the size of the opening 27a allows this stroke sufficiently. The size is the same as in the previous embodiment, but when the limit switch 61 is turned off and the motor 55 rotates, the stopper teeth 27f mesh with the second gear 28 immediately after the rotation. Therefore, during this engagement, the gear lever 24 is prevented from being rotated counterclockwise by the restoring force of the coil spring 62, whereby the movement of the cassette holder 1 in the cassette discharge direction is stopped, and the displacement of the cassette is prevented. .
After that, with the rotation of the motor 55, the second gear 28 and the stopper teeth 27f are not meshed, that is, the second gear 28 of the first gear 27
Since the toothless portion 27d2 faces the second gear 28, the restoring force of the coil spring 62 acts. However, since the cassette holder 1 is once stopped by the stopper teeth 27f, a situation occurs in which the cassette is moved by the restoring force. Absent. While the second toothless portion 27d2 of the first gear 27 and the second gear 28 are not meshed with each other, the relative positional relationship between the first gear 27 and the second gear 28 is finally determined by the cassette ejection. It will be the same as the time.

[0029]

As described above, according to the present invention, even when a cassette is inserted into the cassette holder with a strong reaction when the cassette is mounted, the cassette does not deviate from a predetermined position in the cassette holder. It is possible to prevent cassette loading from malfunctioning due to insertion.
