Abstract

PURPOSE:To make a tape player thinner by ascending the sensor fitted to the sensor lever located at the tape cassette loading side of the container set to a tape transport mechanism by descending by interlocking with the descent of a cassette. CONSTITUTION:A tape cassette (a) is inserted into the insertion port of a tape player from a side face with a lid a1 being made transverse and after its pulling into the necessary position by a container, it is set to a tape transport mechanism with the descent of the container. At this time, by the detection hole detecting a tape end provided on the side face of the tape cassette (a), the sensor 40 detecting the tape end retreats out of the route of the tape cassette (a) until the tape cassette (a) is loaded on the container and the container is descended. However, it ascends to the position capable of detecting the tape end by interlocking with the descent of the container and the sensor 40 does not hinder the loading of the tape cassette (a) even if the descent height of the container is lowered. The tape player is thus thinned.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention provides a lid for covering the tape running surface of a cassette half, such as a digital audio tape cassette, to prevent the lid from being opened accidentally. In order to prevent
The tape cassette has a slider that allows the lid to open only by sliding in a direction perpendicular to the lid, and the slider is prevented from sliding by a lock.When a tape cassette is inserted into the player's insertion slot, This invention relates to a tape cassette loading device that transports the tape cassette to a position where it is set in a tape transport mechanism, and opens the slide and lid of the slider during this time.

[Conventional technology]

In conventional tape players of this type, the lid is placed at the back of the insertion slot, and the tape is inserted through the player's insertion slot, and then the loading device is used to set the lid on the tape transport mechanism by moving the slider and opening the lid. It is something.

In addition, in the digital audio tape cassette described above, when the tape reaches its end by feeding or rewinding the tape, the tape transport mechanism is stopped or fed in the opposite direction. A detection hole opens on the side.

When inserting such a tape cassette with its lid facing forward, the sensor that detects the end of the tape in the detection hole is set in a position out of the loading path of the tape cassette. Nothing got in the way from inserting the tape to setting it in the tape transport mechanism.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In the tape cassette as described above, the planar length of the lid side is longer than the planar length of the side surface perpendicular to the lid side.

Therefore, the front width of the tape player needs to be longer than the side length.

Although tape players and the like mounted on automobiles are required to have a small front area, it has not been possible to reduce the front area of conventional cassette loading devices for the reasons mentioned above.

Furthermore, in order to reduce the height of the tape player, the height at which the container into which the tape cassette is inserted must be lowered to set the tape cassette on the tape transport mechanism must be reduced.

However, in the method of inserting a tape cassette with the lid on the side, if this lowering height is reduced, the sensor that detects the end of the tape becomes an obstacle to inserting the tape cassette into the container.

Therefore, it has become impossible to lower the height of the container, which has hindered efforts to make the tape player thinner.

[Purpose of the invention]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems in conventional tape players of this type, the present invention has a short side as the front,
By setting the lid sideways and inserting the tape cassette into the insertion slot, the opening area of the insertion slot can be reduced and the horizontal length of the front surface of the tape player can be reduced.

In addition, the sensor that detects the tape end is moved away from the tape cassette insertion path when inserting the tape cassette, so that the sensor does not get in the way of tape cassette insertion even if the lowering height of the container is reduced. Therefore, the object is to make the tape player thinner.

[Summary of the invention]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention has a sensor rod located on the tape cassette insertion side of a container into which a digital audio tape cassette is inserted with the lid on the side, and is lowered and set in a tape transport mechanism. The gist is that the sensor attached to the cassette is raised in conjunction with the lowering of the cassette.

In FIGS. 1 and 4, 45 is a stop switch, which is operated by the bent piece 20d of the rack 20.

In FIG. 5, 46 is also a stop switch, which is operated by the bent piece 24d of the push-down plate 24.

In the figure, the symbol a indicates a cassette half, and al indicates a lid.

Next, regarding the operation of this cassette loading device,
This will be explained below.

Insert the cassette half a through the insertion opening 23a of the front panel 23 with its lid a1 positioned on the side.

At this time, the door 25 is in a closed state as shown in FIGS. 5 and 11, but is pushed backward by the cassette half a.

Before insertion of the cassette half a, the pressed plate 9 is in the right position with respect to the slide frame 4 due to the bias of the spring 11, and the front end key-shaped portion 16b of the interlocking plate 16 is attached to the slider pressing plate 9. It hits pin 8d.

Therefore, the interlocking plate 16 resists the bias of the spring 17 and takes the position shown by the solid line with respect to the pressed plate 9 shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG.

In this way, the cassette half a is inserted between the pressed plate 9 and the slider pressing plate 8, but as shown in FIG. 6, the clamping plate 12 is opened downward with the pin 12c touching the cam 4e. So,
Cassette half a is the sandwiching rubber 12 of the sandwiching plate 12.13.
13b, and the front end of the cassette half a contacts the pressed piece 9a of the pressed plate 9.

After that, since the insertion of cassette half a continues,
The pressed plate 9 is further pushed against the bias of the spring 11, and the clamping plates 12 and 13 move to the left in FIG. Then, due to the biasing force of the spring 14, the cassette half is sandwiched between the rubber clamps 12b and 13b.

Then, as the pressed plate 9 continues to be pushed by the cassette half a, the bending piece 91 pushes the bending piece 44a of the rotating push plate 44, causing the rotating push plate 44 to rotate and turning on the start switch 43.
to rotate the motor 18. (See FIG. 9) As described above, when the motor 18 rotates, the pressed plate 9 is moved to the position indicated by the solid line in FIG. It becomes.

As the gear 19 rotates due to the rotation of the motor 18, the rank 20 is shifted to the left in FIG.

The gear 22, which is supported by the shaft 20C on this rack 20, is in mesh with the rack 2d of the fixed frame 2, so that it is rotated by the movement of the rack 20.

Since this gear 22 also meshes with the rack 24a of the push-down plate 24, the rotation of the gear 22 also moves the push-down plate 24 to the left in FIG. . (See Figures 4 and 5) The pins inserted into the diagonal guide holes 24b and 24C of the push-down plate 24? a and 10 are oblique guide holes 24b;

24c and the guide hole 2a of the fixed guide 2.
, 2b, and are located at the horizontal portions of the guide holes 2a, 2b.

Therefore, by moving the push-down plate 24 to the left,
The pins 7a, 10 cannot descend according to the oblique guide holes 24b, 24C, but move to the left inside the guide holes 2a, 2b.

Since the pins 7a and 10 are inserted through the guide holes 9b and 9C of the pressed plate 9, as the pins 7a and 10 move to the left, they abut against the left ends of the guide holes 9b and 9c, and the pressed plate 9 will be moved to the left.

As the pressed plate 9 moves to the left, the introduction groove 9k provided parallel to the pressed piece 9a in the pressed plate 9 comes into contact with the pin 8d of the slider pressing plate 8, and presses the pin 8d. become.

At this time, the interlocking plate 16 is returned along the guide hole 16a and the pin 9g by the force of the spring 17, and as shown in FIG. Let 8d be in a free state.

The two-dot chain line in the same figure shows this state, and the pin 8d is further pushed by the introduction groove 9k of the pressed plate 9, and the pressed plate 9 and the slider pressing plate 8 are further moved to the left with respect to the slide frame 4. The transition will be made.

Since the pins 8b and 8C on the lower surface of the slider press plate 8 are inserted into the diagonal kite holes 4b and 4c of the slide frame 4, they move downward in FIG. becomes.

This movement of the slider pressing plate 8 causes the pressed plate 9, which is holding the cassette half a between the clamping plates 12 and 13, to move downward in the figure, and during this movement, the protrusion 8e moves the cassette half a. When the slider lock of half a is released, the protrusion 8a moves the slider, making it possible to open the lid a1.

On the other hand, while the rack 20 is moving, its pin 20b moves within the cam hole 2Ib of the opening/closing rod 21, thereby rotating the opening/closing rod 21 by a predetermined angle, and the tip 21c of the pin 20b moves in the cam hole 2Ib of the opening/closing rod 21.
6c to rotate the rotation rod 26.

The rotation of the rotation rod 26 opens the door 25 in which the pin 25b is inserted into the guide hole 26b. (See FIG. 11) This opening operation of the door 25 is not necessary when inserting the cassette half a, but is necessary when ejecting the cassette half a to prevent the door 25 from colliding with the ejected cassette half a.

When the slider of the cassette half a is moved in the manner described above and the lid a can be opened, the pins 7a and 10 have reached the key-shaped corners of the guide holes 2a and 2b. However, the movement of the push-down plate 24 to the left is still '
It has been carried out continuously.

Therefore, the pins 7a, 10 cannot move leftward, and are pushed down by the diagonal guide holes 24b, 24c along the vertical direction of the guide holes 2a, 2b.

This downward movement of the pins 7a and 10 is transmitted to the slide frame 4 and the pressed plate 9, and the slide frame 4
It descends while being guided by the vertical hole 2C. (See Figure 10) At this time, the cassette half a is held between the slider pressing plate 8 and the pressed plate 9 because it is held between the clamping plates 12 and 13 which are pivotally supported by the pressed plate 9. descend together in this state.

By lowering the pin 4a, this is inserted into the hole 5a.

The swinging rods 5 and 6 inserted into the shaft hole 5b are inserted into the shaft hole 5b.

Since it rotates about 6b, the holes 5c and 6c move upward.

This motion is transmitted to the driven rods 2B and 34, and the driven rod 28
, 34 rotate around the holes 28a, 34a, and the driven rods 2B, 34 have auxiliary driving rods 29, 34 that operate in conjunction with the driven rods 2B, 34.
35 is installed, so the hole 29 of the auxiliary moving rod 29.35
b, 35b is pin 4f.

Lower 4g.

By making the amount of descent of the pins 4fe4g substantially the same as the amount of descent of the pin 4a, it is possible to prevent the slide frame 4 from descending obliquely or from getting caught during the descent.

The lowering of the pins 4f and 4g is the vertical hole 27a.

When the driven rods 28, 34 continue to rotate even after reaching the end of 33a, the auxiliary driving rods 29, 35 are rotated by the springs 30, 34.
The hole 28c rotates about the shaft 34C with respect to the driven rods 2B and 34 against the biasing force of the driven rod 36, and serves as a relief against over-pressing of the driven rods 2B and 34.

The lowering of the pin 4f is caused by the cam surface 31c of the lid opening lever 31.
is pushed against the spring 32, so the lid opening rod 31 is pressed against the hole 31.
a, and the tip piece 31b rises to open the lid a of the cassette half a.

open. (Refer to FIG. 15) Also, since the lowering of the pin 4g pushes one side 37b of the rotating rod 37, the rotating rod 37 rotates around the pin 37a, and the pin 37c resists the spring 39 and pushes against the sensor rod 38. Push up the tip 38b of the sensor 40 attached to the sensor rod 38.
is raised to a position facing the tape end reading hole on the side surface of cassette half a. (See Figure 17).

Due to the lowering of the cassette half a, the tape end reading hole on the other side is in a position facing the sensor 41,
The setting of cassette half a into the tape transport mechanism is completed.

When this is completed, the leftward movement of the rack 20 causes the bent piece 20d to press the stop switch 45, causing the motor 18 to
stop the rotation.

When the setting in the tape transport mechanism is completed, the pin 20b of the rack 20 reaches the end of the cam hole 21b, the tip 21C of the opening/closing rod 21 rises, the rotating rod 26 rotates, and the door 25 becomes closed again.

During the movement of the pressed plate 9 in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, the pressing plate 41 continues to press down the pressed plate 9 by the bias of the spring 42, and prevents the pressed plate 9 from rising during each movement. It is prevented.

Furthermore, when the pressed plate 9 is lowered and the cassette half a is set in the tape transport mechanism, the biasing force of the spring 42 against the pressed plate 9 increases as described above, so that the cassette half a cannot be set. It will definitely be done.

(See FIG. 8) Next, the ejecting operation of this cassette loading device will be explained.

The motor 18 is driven by an external eject operation (not shown).
rotates in the opposite direction, each part performs an operation in the opposite direction to the above, the cassette half a is raised, the door 25 is opened, the cassette half a is pushed to the right, and ejection is completed.

When this ejection is completed, the bent piece 24d of the push-down plate 24 presses the stop switch 46 to operate it and stop the rotation of the motor 18.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, in the present invention, the tape cassette is inserted from the side into the insertion slot of the tape player with the lift facing sideways, and after the tape cassette is pulled into the desired position by the container, the container is lowered and inserted into the tape transport mechanism. It is something to set.

Since the tape cassette is smaller in the front surface on the lid side and in the side surface, the width of the insertion opening of the tape player can be reduced accordingly.

Therefore, the overall width of the tape player can be reduced in relation to the above.

Then, the sensor that detects the end of the tape is retracted out of the path of the tape cassette until the tape cassette is inserted into the container and the container is lowered. There is.

However, since the container rises to a position where the end of the tape can be detected in conjunction with the lowering of the container, even if the container is lowered to a lower height, the sensor will not interfere with the insertion of the tape cassette.

By lowering the lowering height of the container, the tape player can be made thinner, and by reducing the width, the front area of the tape player can be made smaller.

Therefore, digital audio installed in automobiles, etc.
It is suitable as a tape cassette loading device for a tape player.
