Abstract

PURPOSE: To simplify a device by using a reference hole provided according to the standard of a disk and directly clamping one end of the disk. CONSTITUTION: Many disks A, etc., are arranged and housed in a disk housing box 13 in the state that their tip parts are exposed. A carriage 1 is provided with a hold plate 2 attached movably vertically, and it holds and clamps one end part of the disk A between tip chin parts 1a by elasticity of a spring 3. The carriage 1 is moved along a rail 7, and it takes in/out the required disk A from the disk housing box 13 to transfer between with a disk player. At this time, the hold plate 2 is provided with a pair of pins 6 engaged with the reference hole and an erroneous recording prevention hole 4 formed on one end part of the disk A drawably/insertably respectively. The disk A is positioned for the carriage 1 by the engagement, and since the possibility that the position is shifted and the disk is omitted is eliminated, the holing power is weakened to an irreducible minimum, and the disk A is protected.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a number of mini discs,
The present invention relates to a disc moving device that takes out a disc from a disc box containing compact discs, moves it to a player, and conveys the disc from the player to the disc box. In particular, it relates to a structure of a disc holding portion of the moving device. is there.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a large number of mini discs are arranged and stored in a disc storage box with the tip portion exposed.
There is a device that takes out a desired disc from this box and moves it to the player. In this conventional moving device, the disc is mounted on a cartridge incorporated in a running body and moved, or the disc is directly grasped and moved.

[0003]

However, in the former method, since the cartridge has to be attached to the running body, the size is increased and a complicated mechanism is required for taking in and out the cartridge, resulting in a high cost. There is.
Further, the latter means has a problem in that a large clamping value is required to surely grip the disk, the disk may be damaged, and consideration must be taken to prevent slippage.

Therefore, the object of the present invention is to basically hold and sandwich one end of the disc, but the disc moving device has a function of surely grasping and transporting the disc with a soft clamping force. Is to provide an extremely simple structure.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention takes the following technical means. That is, in the disk moving device according to the present invention, the carriage 1 that moves along the rails and the sandwiching plate 2 that sandwiches one end portion of the disk A in cooperation with the tip jaw portion 1a of the carriage 1 are provided. The holding plate 2 is held by the carriage 1 so as to be movable up and down while being constantly urged by the spring 3 in the holding direction. A pair of left and right pins 6 that can be detachably fitted into the formed reference hole 4 and error recording prevention hole 5 are provided, and the pin 6 is pushed down against the sandwich plate 2 against the spring 3. The structure is such that means for releasing the disk A from the hole is provided.

[0006]

In the disk moving device constructed as described above, when the disk A is sandwiched between the jaw portion 1a of the carriage 1 and the sandwiching plate 2 from above and below, the pin 6 of the sandwiching plate 2 serves as a disk. Since it is fitted in the reference hole 4 and the mis-recording prevention hole 5, it does not slip or drop during transportation even if the clamping force on the disc is weak, and therefore the disc can be held softly and securely. it can.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the figure, reference numeral 1 is a carriage that moves along a rail 7, and the carriage 1 has a tip jaw portion 1
A sandwiching plate 2 for sandwiching one end portion of the disk A in cooperation with a
Is provided. The sandwiching plate 2 is attached so as to be vertically movable along vertical shafts 8 and 9 fixed to the carriage 1, and is upwardly applied by a spring 3, that is, constantly urged in the sandwiching direction. .

Further, the sandwiching plate 2 has a reference hole 4 (a hole which serves as a position reference when mounted on a player) and an error recording prevention hole 5 which are formed at both end portions of the back surface of the front end of the mini disk A. A pair of left and right pins 6, 6 that are fitted to each other in a removable manner is provided.

Further, means for pushing down the sandwiching plate 2 against the spring 3 to release the pins 6, 6 from the holes 4, 5 of the disk A is provided. In this embodiment, a piston 10 that comes into contact with the upper surface of the sandwiching plate 2 is provided as this releasing means, and is formed so as to move up and down by the drive of the motor M installed in the carriage 1.

The carriage 1 is formed so as to be movable back and forth along a rail 7, and the rail 7 is movably held laterally along a lateral rail 11 at a base end portion thereof. The left and right ends 11 are held by a vertical rail 12 so as to be vertically movable. Therefore, the carriage 1 is configured to be able to move back and forth, left and right and up and down. This allows the carriage 1 to be installed at a predetermined position from the disk storage box 13 in which a large number of disks A ... The disc can be transported to a disc player (not shown).

1 and 2 show the carriage 1 in the standby position. The sandwiching plate 2 of the carriage 1 is pushed down by the piston 10 so that a large gap is formed between it and the jaw 1a.

From this state, the carriage 1 is moved to the front disk storage box 13 and the pins 6, 6 of the sandwiching plate 2 of the carriage 1 are moved to the reference hole 4 of the desired disk A as shown in FIGS. In addition, it is made to face the misprint prevention hole 5. After that, the piston 10 is retracted by the motor M and the sandwiching plate 2 is moved upward by the spring 3, and the pins 6 and 6 are fitted into the holes 4 and 5 as shown in FIG. The front end of the exposed disk is sandwiched from above and below by 1a.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 6, the carriage 1 holding the disc is moved backward to convey the disc to a disc player arranged at a predetermined position.

Although a representative embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not necessarily limited to the structure of the above embodiment. For example, in the above embodiment, the piston 1 is used as a means for pushing down the sandwiching plate 2 against the spring 3.
Although 0 is provided, the present invention is not limited to this, and can be implemented by changing to a mechanism of rack and pinion or other means. In addition, it is needless to say that the present invention can be appropriately modified and implemented within a range that has the constituent features and has an effect.

[0015]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, when the disc is sandwiched between the jaw of the carriage and the sandwiching plate from above and below, the pin of the sandwiching plate causes the disc reference hole and the error. Since it fits into the recording prevention hole, it will not slip or drop during transportation even if the clamping force to the disc is loose, so it can hold the disc softly and securely and damage the disc before it occurs. In addition, it has a remarkable effect that it can be formed with a simple mechanism by using the reference hole and the error recording prevention hole which are provided in the disk in advance, and the cost can be reduced. .
