2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a drawer type optical disk apparatus, a flexible printed circuit (flexible printed circuit) has been used to electrically connect the apparatus housing and a moving section.
Printed circuit) is used.

FIG. 7 schematically shows a sectional view of a conventional drawer type optical disk apparatus. This conventional optical disk device includes an apparatus housing 71, a moving unit 72, and a flexible printed circuit 73.

[0004] The apparatus housing 71 has a main board (not shown) for controlling the optical disk apparatus. The main board transmits and receives signals to and from an external computer, and transmits and receives signals to and from the moving unit 72 via a flexible printed circuit 73 connected to a terminal 74. Supply power. The space reserved for providing the main board is indicated by 71s.

The moving section 72 has an optical system (not shown) such as an optical pickup and a driving system (not shown) such as a spindle motor and a thread motor. These optical systems and drive systems receive and transmit signals to and from the device housing 71 and receive power supply from the device housing 71 via the flexible printed circuit 73 connected to the terminal 75.

The moving section 72 is provided by a mechanism (not shown) that enables the disk mounting surface 76 on which the optical disk is mounted to be positioned inside and outside the apparatus housing 71, that is, as indicated by an arrow 7A with respect to the apparatus housing 71.

And a circuit made of a conductor wired on the substrate so as to be connected. With such a configuration, the flexible printed circuit 73 is mounted on the device housing 71.
When the movement of the moving unit 72 with respect to the device housing 71 is performed, the moving unit 72 is flexibly deformed, and when the moving unit 72 is inserted into or pulled out of the device housing 71, The electrical connection between the body 71 and the moving part 72 is enabled.

FIG. 8 shows a moving unit 72 with respect to an apparatus housing 71.

In this thinned optical disk device, the flexible printed circuit 93 sags as in the case of the unthinned optical disk device as described above. Furthermore, in an optical disk device having a reduced thickness, a sufficient space for completely accommodating the slack of the flexible printed circuit 93 generated as described above becomes insufficient due to the reduction in the thickness of the device. As a result, when the moving unit 92 is inserted into the device housing 91, a part of the flexible printed circuit 93 is pushed out of the optical disk device, and is sandwiched between the device housing 91 and the moving unit 92 to be flexible printed circuit. There is a possibility that a problem that the Ted circuit 93 is damaged may occur.

The present invention has been made in order to solve such a problem, and even in a thin optical disk device, the moving portion with respect to the device housing 91 without damaging the flexible printed circuit 93. It is an object of the present invention to provide an optical disc device capable of inserting and pulling out the 92.

[0014]

An electrical connection member electrically connected at one end to the control means and electrically connected at the other end to the readout means, and provided between the electrical connection member and the device housing; And a friction suppressing member for suppressing friction between the dynamic connection member and the device housing.

In the optical disk device according to the present invention having such a configuration, since the friction suppressing member is provided between the device housing and the electrical connection member, when the moving unit is inserted into the device housing. In addition, the sliding friction generated between the device housing and the electrical connection member is suppressed.

By suppressing the friction between the device housing and the electrical connection member, when the moving unit is inserted into the device housing, the electrical connection member, which occurs in the conventional optical disk device, That is, the sag of the flexible printed circuit can be suppressed. Therefore, since the flexible printed circuit is not pushed out of the apparatus due to the slack and is not caught between the apparatus housing and the moving unit, damage to the flexible printed circuit as occurred in the conventional optical disk apparatus is eliminated. Can be prevented.

When one end of the guide sheet 17 is provided on the moving section 12, the position is shifted to a side closer to the apparatus housing 11 than the position of the terminal 15 to which one end of the flexible printed circuit 13 is connected. That is, one end of the guide sheet 17 is provided at a predetermined position on the moving unit 12 in the direction of insertion of the moving unit 12 into the device housing 11 as indicated by the arrow 2A with respect to the terminal 15 in the inserting direction. In this case, among the positions on the moving unit 12, the guide sheet 17 is positioned as close to the insertion direction as possible.
Is preferably provided.

The guide sheet 17 having one end provided at the predetermined position is arranged along the flexible printed circuit 13 having one end connected to the terminal 15 so that the flexible printed circuit 13 and the device housing 11 It is arranged between the top plate 21. The guide sheet 17 arranged in this manner is used for the flexible printed circuit 13.

Further, the guide sheet 17 is disposed between the space 11s secured for providing the main board and the moving unit 12, and then the other end of the guide sheet 17 is connected to the predetermined position on the moving unit 12. Will be folded back.

The operation of the guide sheet 17 on the flexible printed circuit 13 when the moving section 12 is inserted into the apparatus housing 11 in the optical disk apparatus of the present invention having the above-described configuration will be described below.

FIG. 4 shows the moving unit 12 with respect to the apparatus housing 11.
FIG. 1 schematically shows a cross-sectional view of the optical disk device of the present invention having the above-described configuration when a is inserted. As described above, in the optical disk device according to the present invention, the device housing 11
21 and Flexible Printed Circuit 13
A guide sheet 17 is arranged along the flexible printed circuit 13 between the two. Further, one end of the guide sheet 17 is located on the moving unit 12 on the insertion direction side of the moving unit 12 with respect to the apparatus housing 11 as indicated by an arrow 2A with respect to the position of the terminal 15 to which one end of the flexible printed circuit 13 is connected. At a predetermined position.

In the optical disk device having such a configuration, when the moving portion 12 is inserted into the device housing 11, the top plate 2
The guide sheet 17 is provided between the flexible printed circuit 1 and the flexible printed circuit 13.
No contact occurs between the top plate 21 and the flexible printed circuit 13.

The guide sheet 17 and the flexible printed circuit 13 move together with one end of the movable portion 12 because both ends are provided along the guide sheet 17 and the flexible printed circuit 13. . That is, when the moving unit 12 is inserted into the device housing 11, the flexible printed circuit 13 is similarly pressed into the device housing 11 as the guide sheet 17 is pressed into the device housing 11. Therefore, between the guide sheet 17 and the flexible printed circuit 13,
There is no sliding friction that causes the flexible printed circuit to sag as in the conventional optical disk device.

In the optical disk device according to the present invention, since the guide sheet 17 and the top plate 21 are in contact with each other, sliding friction occurs between the two. However, the position on the moving section 12 where one end of the guide sheet 17 is provided is closer to the insertion direction than the position of the terminal 15. For this reason, the amount of slack of the guide sheet 17 caused by the frictional force between the guide sheet 17 and the top plate 21 depends on the amount of slack between the flexible printed circuit 13 and the top plate 21 when the guide sheet 17 is not provided. The sag of the flexible printed circuit 13 caused by the frictional force is reduced. In this case, the position on the moving unit 12 where the guide sheet 17 is provided is adjusted, and the guide sheet 17 is provided.
The flexible printed circuit 13 is prevented from being pushed out of the apparatus due to the effect of the slack that has occurred. It is preferable that the position on the moving section 12 where the guide sheet 17 is provided is closer to the insertion direction because the slack generated in the guide sheet 17 is reduced.

As described above, the guide sheet 17 acts on the flexible printed circuit 13, and the friction between the top plate 21 and the flexible printed circuit 13 is eliminated.
Also, no frictional force is generated between the guide sheet 17 and the flexible printed circuit 13 to cause the flexible printed circuit 13 to be slack, and the slack generated in the guide sheet 17 causes the flexible printed circuit 13 to move outside the apparatus. Therefore, in the optical disk device according to the present invention, when the moving portion 12 is inserted into the device housing 11, the flexible printed circuit 13 does not sag so as to be pushed out of the device. This prevents the flexible printed circuit 13 from being sandwiched between the device housing 11 and the moving unit 12, thereby preventing damage to the flexible printed circuit 13 that occurs in a conventional optical disk device. Becomes

In the optical disk device according to the present invention having the above-described configuration, when the moving portion 12 is pulled out from the device housing 11, the guide sheet 17 can be flexibly deformed. Does not hinder the movement of the moving part 12. Further, since the guide sheet 17 is arranged along the flexible printed circuit 13, the guide sheet 17 does not hinder the deformation of the flexible printed circuit 13 caused by pulling out the moving unit 12 from the apparatus housing 11.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the optical disk device according to the present invention may have a configuration in which one end of the guide sheet 17 is not connected to the device housing 11. That is, the guide sheet 47 is attached to the device housing 11.
21 and Flexible Printed Circuit 13
In this state, one end is provided at a predetermined position of the moving unit 12, but the other end is not connected to any member. Other configurations are the same as those of the optical disk device according to the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 4.

In the optical disk device according to the present invention using the guide sheet 47 whose one end is not connected to the device housing 11, the moving section 12 as shown in FIG. While the moving unit 12 is being inserted into the device housing 11, the moving unit 12 is completely inserted into the device housing 11 as shown in FIG. One end of the guide sheet 47 that is not connected to any member collides with the inner wall surface of the back plate 43 of the device housing 11.

After the collision, when the moving unit 12 is further inserted into the apparatus housing 11, the guide sheet 47
Of the back plate 43 at the position of the inner wall surface. Further, when the moving unit 12 is continuously inserted into the device housing 11 and finally the moving unit 12 is completely inserted into the device housing 11 as shown in FIG. 11 is disposed between the moving section 12 and the space 11s for storing the main board.

As described above, even in the optical disk device according to the present invention having the guide sheet 47 whose one end is not connected to the device housing 11, the guide sheet 47 is also attached to the device housing 1.
1 and flexible printed circuit 1
3 and along the flexible printed circuit 13. Therefore, as in the case of the optical disk device shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, friction between the top plate 21 and the flexible printed circuit 13 is eliminated, and the guide sheet 17 and the flexible printed circuit 1 are removed.
3 does not generate a frictional force that causes the flexible printed circuit 13 to sag, such that the flexible printed circuit 13 is pushed out of the apparatus when the moving unit 12 is inserted into the apparatus housing 11. No sagging will occur. As a result, the flexible printed circuit 13 is not sandwiched between the apparatus housing 11 and the moving section 12, and the flexible printed circuit 13 which is generated in the conventional optical disc apparatus is eliminated.
Can be prevented from being damaged.
