FIG. 1 shows an outline of a conventional magnetic recording/reproducing device. In FIG. 1, a magnetic tape 1 is running at a constant speed in the direction of the arrow by a capstan (not shown), and is magnetized by a magnetic head 4 attached to a rotating disk 3 fixed to the rotating shaft of an electric motor 2. A signal is recorded on the tape 1 as a recording track 5 having a certain inclination angle with respect to its longitudinal direction. 1st
In the figure, during recording, a signal (30 Hz) obtained by dividing the vertical synchronizing signal of the television signal to be recorded, which is applied to the terminal 6, into 1/2 by the frequency dividing circuit 8, and the rotational phase of the magnetic head 4 are detected. The signals from the detection device 7 are compared by the phase comparison circuit 9, and the electric motor 2 is controlled via the drive control circuit 10 according to the difference so that the rotation of the magnetic head 4 is synchronized with the vertical synchronization signal. , a fixed magnetic head 11 records a signal related to the vertical synchronization signal on one end of the magnetic tape 1 as a control signal as a trace 12. During playback, the magnetic head 4
Tracking control is performed to reproduce the signal by running on the recorded signal track 5. That is, the phase comparator 9 compares the phase of a signal obtained by reproducing the control signal 12 recorded during recording with the magnetic head 11 and the output signal of the detection device 7 for detecting the rotational phase of the magnetic head 4, and the drive control circuit 10 compares the phase of the output signal of the detection device 7 for detecting the rotational phase of the magnetic head 4. tracking control is performed by controlling the relative positional relationship between the magnetic head 4 and the magnetic tape 1 so that the magnetic head 4 traces the same trajectory as during recording. However, the recording locus 5 of the signal recorded on the magnetic tape 1 is not a straight line due to uneven tension on the tape width during tape running, uneven tape running, etc. For example, the solid line 1 in FIG.
The trajectory will have a curve as shown in a. The way this curve curves has different characteristics depending on each device, the usage condition of the device, the environment, etc. Therefore, in the conventional tracking control method, the recording track of the locus shown in FIG. This is merely an average trace of a track with the following characteristics. Therefore, there are some parts where track deviation occurs, resulting in a reduction in the output of the reproduced signal and, in some cases, deterioration of the quality of the reproduced signal. When designing and manufacturing equipment, increase the precision of the traveling mechanism to reduce the amount of bend in the track locus, reduce the amount of partial track deviation, and take this amount of track bend into account when setting track width specifications. This prevents deterioration of playback quality. However, in recent years, track widths have tended to become narrower due to improvements in the performance of magnetic heads and increased tape usage rates, making it difficult to improve mechanical precision and obtain good tracking conditions during playback. The present invention provides an optimal reproduction tracking state even when the track width is narrow, without increasing the mechanical precision, and without causing partial deviation of the track trajectory even if the recording track trajectory has a unique curved track shape. It's something you get.

FIG. 3 shows a schematic diagram of the magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus of the present invention. The magnetic tape 1 is placed on the lower guide drum 15 and the upper guide drum 15' at approximately 180 degrees during recording and playback.
The magnetic head is wound around the head for 360 degrees (360 degrees in the case of one head) and runs at a constant speed in the direction of the arrow. Information signals are supplied from the rotating transformer 18 to the magnetic head 17 attached to the rotating disk 16, and the magnetic head is A signal is recorded on the tape 1 as a recording track 19 having a constant inclination angle with respect to its longitudinal direction. Rotating disk 16 with magnetic head 17 attached
is an electrical/mechanical conversion element 2 that uses electromagnetic force.
This electrical/mechanical conversion element 2
0 is the rotating shaft 23 of the electric motor 22 by the holding member 21.
mechanically coupled to. Therefore, magnetic head 1
7 rotates in the same manner as the rotating shaft 23 of the electric motor. When recording and reproducing video signals, the rotational phase of the magnetic head 17 is adjusted to the vertical synchronization signal applied to the terminal 24 during recording in order to make the head switching noise at the time of reproduction invisible on the TV screen. Since it is necessary to drive synchronously, switch SW 1
is connected to the R terminal, and the signal obtained by dividing the frequency by 1/2 (30Hz) by the frequency dividing circuit 25 and the signal obtained by the rotational phase detection device 26 for detecting the rotational phase of the electric motor 22 is connected to the phase comparison circuit 27. In comparison, the drive control circuit 28 controls the rotation of the electric motor 22, that is, the magnetic head 17. During reproduction, the switch SW1 is connected to the P terminal, the output of the 30 Hz reference oscillator 29 is applied to the phase comparator circuit 27, and the motor 22 is rotated at almost the same number of rotations as during recording. As shown in FIG. 2, the recorded track 19 is bent due to tension unevenness and running unevenness in the width direction of the tape. In order for the magnetic head 17 to trace (track) the recording track 19 faithfully even when the recording track curves during reproduction, the recording track is detected moment by moment, and the magnetic head 17 is moved in the direction of the solid line arrow according to the detection signal. It is only necessary to move it in the direction parallel to the rotating shaft 23 of the electric motor 22. In this embodiment, the magnetic head 17
A signal from the recording track 19 reproduced by the recording track 19 is taken out through a known rotary transformer 18 and applied to an input terminal 31 of a track position detection circuit 30 for detecting an error between the recording track 19 and the traveling position of the magnetic head 17. The output of the track position detection circuit 30 is applied to the tracking drive control circuit 32 via the P terminal of the switch SW2 . The output of the tracking drive control circuit 32 is a brush 33 and a slip ring 34.
Electromechanical conversion element 20 that uses electromagnetic force through
, a recording track 19 and a magnetic head 17
The magnetic head 17 is controlled to faithfully track the recording track 19 having a curved trajectory by continuously controlling the traveling positional relationship of the magnetic head 17. Therefore, when reproducing a recording track locus that has a tendency to curve as shown by the solid line in FIG. 2, the magnetic head traces it as the same curved solid line track, so there is no partial track deviation and the best reproduction signal is obtained. can be obtained. The track position detection circuit 30 applies a high frequency signal to the electro-mechanical transducer 20, slightly vibrates the magnetic head up and down (in the direction of the solid line arrow), and detects the change in the envelope of the frequency-modulated reproduction signal of the magnetic head. A method of detecting the positional deviation between the magnetic head position and the recording track by synchronous rectification using a frequency signal can be used. Terminal 31' in FIG. 3 is a terminal to which the above-mentioned high frequency signal is applied. During recording, the magnetic head 17 is fixed at a fixed position by applying the output of the bias circuit 35 to the electromechanical transducer 20 via the switch SW 2 , the tracking drive control circuit 32, the brush 33, and the slip ring 34.
This prevents the magnetic head 17 from moving slightly due to vibrations generated when the magnetic head 17 rotates, and when a plurality of magnetic heads 17 are used, the relative height position of each magnetic head is fixed.

FIG. 4 can be used in the embodiment of the invention of FIG. Electrical/mechanical conversion element 20 using electromagnetic force
1 shows a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a voice coil type actuator. 23 is a rotating shaft of the electric motor 22, and 40 is a voice coil type actuator 41.
This is a holding member for attaching the motor to the rotating shaft 23 of the electric motor. The voice coil type actuator 41 includes a center pole 42, a permanent magnet 43, a yoke 44,
A voice coil 47 that constitutes a magnetic circuit by the air gap 45 and has a coil 46 in the air gap 45 of the magnetic circuit.
A current is applied to the coil 46 from a brush (not shown) through the slip ring 34 to obtain driving force. A rotary disk 16 having a magnetic head 17 mounted thereon is fixed to the voice coil 46 . The driving force generated in the voice coil 46 moves the voice coil 46 in the vertical direction (direction along the rotation axis of the electric motor). Since the spring member 49 is attached, the voice coil 46 and therefore the magnetic head 17 are moved in the direction of the solid arrow until the elastic force of the spring member 49 and the generated driving force are balanced. When the output of the track position detection circuit 30 is applied to the coil 46 through the slip ring 34, the magnetic head 17 moves in the direction of the arrow in response to the output of the track position detection circuit 30, correcting the tracking deviation and faithfully correcting the bending of the recording track. Tracking. Also, 50 is a rotating disk 16 during recording.
This is a locking member that fixes the magnetic head 17 at a fixed position, regulates the position of the magnetic head 17 so that it is at a fixed predetermined position, and prevents the magnetic head 17 from swinging due to mechanical vibration or the like during recording. The position of the locking member 50 is controlled by applying a constant bias current to the coil 46 by the bias circuit 35 shown in FIG.
6 to a position where it abuts against the lock member 50, and a pressing force is applied to hold the lock member 50.

Further, FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of a voice coil type actuator that can be used in the present invention. Components that are the same as those in FIG. 4 are designated by the same numbers. In this example, the upper guide drum mounting disc 51 is attached to the center pole 42, and the upper guide drum 52 is attached to the upper guide drum mounting disc 51.
It has a structure in which the tape is fixed at approximately 180 degrees.
The upper part of the guide drum around which the tape is wound and travels (approximately 360 degrees in the case of one head) rotates at the same time as the rotating shaft 23 of the electric motor, creating an air layer between the tape and the upper guide drum, It is possible to reduce the frictional force between the upper guide drum and the upper guide drum, and to stabilize the tape running on the guide drum section. Note that 53 is a fixed lower guide drum. In this example, the slip ring 34 is attached to the lower part of the holding member 40.

In the embodiments described above, a magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus of a two-head rotating type has been described, but it goes without saying that it can also be used in a one-head type or a type using two or more heads. In addition, in the explanation of Fig. 3, we explained a method in which the control signal is not recorded on one end of the tape, but as described in Fig. 1, the control signal is recorded on the tape during recording, and during playback, the electric motor is As is well known, the magnetic head is driven in synchronization with a playback control signal to perform average tracking as in the conventional example, and also uses a voice coil type actuator to slightly move the magnetic head to follow fluctuations such as curves in the recording track. You can also do this.
In this case, the movable range of the voice coil type actuator may be narrow, so the actuator can be made smaller. Further, in this description, a configuration has been described in which the magnetic head is directly rotationally driven by an electric motor, but a configuration in which the magnetic head is indirectly rotationally driven from an electric motor through a conventionally known belt and pulley may be used.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to improve tracking during self-recording and playback of a magnetic recording and playback device and during compatible playback between devices, without increasing mechanical accuracy, and to obtain the best tracking state. It becomes possible to perform the best recording signal reproduction and obtain the best quality of the reproduced signal. In addition, even if the recording track is curved, tracking is performed faithfully to the curved trajectory, so recording and playback with a narrow recording track width is possible, increasing tape usage efficiency and making tape cassettes smaller. This makes it possible to downsize the entire device. During recording, the rotating magnetic head can be fixed by moving the rotating disk in one direction by passing a bias current through the coil and bringing the rotating disk into contact with the locking member.

1. A rotating head type magnetic recording/reproducing device in which a magnetic head is attached to a rotating disk to form a rotating magnetic head, and the rotating magnetic head sequentially records and reproduces signals on a magnetic tape as a recording locus inclined with respect to the longitudinal direction of the tape. The rotating magnetic head is connected to a rotating shaft via an elastic body so that the rotating magnetic head is rotatable and movable up and down in the axial direction of the rotating shaft, and a coil is attached to the rotating disk. A magnetic circuit is constructed by providing a yoke and a permanent magnet close to the coil, and a locking member is provided that comes into contact when the rotating magnetic head is moved upward or downward, and a bias current is caused to flow through the coil during recording. Therefore, the rotating magnetic head is moved in one direction and brought into contact with the locking member to fix the rotating magnetic head at a predetermined position, and a signal corresponding to the difference between the scanning trajectory and the recording trajectory of the magnetic head is generated during reproduction. A rotating head type magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus characterized in that the rotating magnetic head is moved up and down in addition to the coil.
