Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the operability of a timer part by separating a timer part from a VTR main body, and loading the time part to the VTR main body to connect them. CONSTITUTION:A VTR main body 1 has a horizontal engagement hollow part 16 for free loading/unloading of a case 15 of a timer part 2. A projected bar 18 which is energized by a coil spring 17 is put into the part 16. While the case 15 has a hollow groove 19 to which the bar 18 is fitted. Thus the part 2 is formed in a car form and can be freely loaded to and unloaded from the main body 1. Therefore it is possible to reserve the TV programs through an operation part 9 by putting the part 2 at a place near a TV program table of a newspaper, a magazine, etc. Then the case 15 is fitted into the part 16 and the record signals are transmitted to a system control part of the main body 1 from a comparison control part of the part 2.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (A) Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a video tape recorder, and more particularly to the relationship structure between the main body of the video tape recorder and a timer section.

(B) Prior Art The recent spread of video tape recorders (VTRs) has been remarkable, but in proportion to the increase in popularity, there have been demands for recording reservation settings, that is, the operability of the timer section. It's increasing.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that the improvement in the operability of the timer section plays a part in the spread of VTRs.

By the way, the timer section of conventional VTRs is integrated into a specific part of the VTR body, and therefore the operation keys are arranged in a small space, and it is often inconvenient to operate newspapers, magazines, etc. lko.

Furthermore, conventional Vlls have a button for setting the timer recording mode (so-called "timer button"), and when setting a recording reservation, it was necessary to [pull] that button. If you forget the operation, there is an inconvenience that the desired recording cannot be made even if you perform a series of reservation setting operations without error.Generally, in order to eliminate this inconvenience, labels are attached or other methods are used. However, this does not necessarily solve the inconvenience.

(c) Purpose This invention was made in consideration of these forward leanings.
The main objectives are to improve the operability of the timer section and to ensure reliable operation.

(d) Configuration This invention comprises a video recorder main body and a current (lI)
means for recording the recording start and end times; means for outputting a control signal for keeping the video tape recorder in a recording state from the recording start time to the recording end time; A timer section that includes means for setting each time and a case that is separate from the video tape recorder main body and that incorporates these means, and exchanges phase n signals between this timer section and the video tape recorder main body. A video tape recorder V T R1 comprising means for attaching the case to the video tape recorder main body and detachably attaching the case to the video tape recorder main body and the timer unit. In addition to the four configurations, a VTR is equipped with a timer recording mode switch that is turned on when the timer case is attached to the VTR body, and in addition to these configurations, This VTR is equipped with means for releasing the case from the VTR body when a control signal is not output to put the VTR body into a recording state.

In other words, the present invention has a timer section separated from the VTR main body, and a 'TI'
- and the combined operation is used for recording mode setting operation.

(B') EXAMPLES The present invention will be explained below with reference to the examples shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

First to 4N, the VTR (V) is mainly composed of a VTR main body (1) and a timer section (2) separate from the main body. In particular, as shown in FIG. 4, this timer section compares each time with a current time measuring section (3), a recording U start time storage section (4), and a recording end time storage section (5) to generate a recording signal. A comparison control section (6) that outputs a signal, an output section (7) that sends a recording signal from this comparison control section to the VTR main body (1), and a signal from the VTR main body (1), for example, 1 to 1, are set. The input section (8) receives information such as that the camera is not connected or that the nail is broken and cannot be recorded.
It mainly consists of (14) consisting of an operation section (9) used for reservation settings and time setting μ, a display section 00), and a case 05) that houses these parts. A system control section (12+) is a recording section that controls the main body (1), and (03) and (14) are a transmitting circuit and a receiving circuit, which are often used in Wi-A7 wireless remote controllers.

In particular, in the VTR body (1) in Fig. 3,
A horizontal engagement recess 06) is formed in which the case 05) is attached and detached, and a coil spring (17) is installed in the recess.
(=J force protrusion 08) is installed. On the other hand, the case 05) of the timer section (2) has a recess formed in the protruding piece 0 (3) that fits into the case 0 (3) at the time of mounting. In addition,
(a) (21) is from the timer section (2) to the VTR body (1)
They are a light emitting part and a light receiving part respectively for communication to (c)(
(to) have a light emitting part and a light receiving part for communication from the VTR main body (1) to the timer part (2), respectively.

In this way, the timer section (2) is removable from the V'TR main body (1) and is card-shaped like a calculator, so the timer section (2) can be attached to a TV program guide such as a newspaper or magazine at hand. The timer unit can be set by placing the timer unit (2) near the recess (06) in the VTR main body (1). (2) from comparison control section (6) to VT
The recording signal is transmitted to the system control unit (1υ) of the R main body (1), and the conventional timer can perform its function.

In the next item, in Figures 5 and 6, V-rR (Va) is the same as that in Figures 1 to 4, and a mounting detection switch (24a) as a timer recording mode setting switch is installed in the recess (16a).
) and a j-1 output lever (25a).

However, the attachment detection switch (24a) has the function of detecting attachment (insertion) of the timer section (2a), but this switch cannot be used with the conventional timer recording mode setting button ("'timer button"). ″) by using
If you do not operate it by hand, there is no need for a ``timer button.'' This is to prevent malfunctions such as forgetting to press the conventional ``patimer button''.

On the other hand, the ejection lever (25a) controls the timer section (2).
As shown in Fig. 6 (A> to (B)), even if the VTR main unit (1) is loaded, the timer unit (2) comparison control unit (6)
If the recording signal is not output to the system control unit (II) of the main unit (1), that is, the power button 1-1 is not inserted, the nail is bent, or the reservation setting is not made. The timer section (2) is ejected (or pushed out slightly) as shown in Figure 66C). In this way, the timer section (2) is attached to the VTR main body (1) without being ejected, thereby making it clear that the timer setting (reservation setting) is completed.

Note that the detection signal from the attachment detection switch (24a) is transmitted to the system control unit (11a, not shown),
If timer recording is not possible, the ejection lever (25a) is operated in response to a command from the system control unit.

Unlike the above embodiments, the lead wire 17 may be used to exchange signals between the VTR main body and the timer section. In this case, it is desirable to provide a winding means with a lead wire (7).

(f) Effects This invention allows the VTR main body and the timer section to be separated into separate volumes, and the timer section is attached to the VTR main body. -I! i′
? Since the timer section is constructed in such a manner that the timer section can be operated easily.

In addition, this invention utilizes the attachment of the timer section to the VTR body to turn on the timer recording mode setting switch.
The conventional ``timer button'' is omitted.

Furthermore, if the recording control signal is not output in the above manner,
By disabling this, reservation settings can be made more reliably.
