Description

Method for drive controlling sled motor and actuator and disc searching using the same}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of searching for a specific position in a disk in an optical disk system. In particular, the sled motor and actuator driving information are data-stored and stored in advance, and the rough and fine search are used using the same. It is about how to make it possible.

In general, in order to reach the desired point on the optical disc, the laser beam generated by the pickup must be accurately tracked from the current track to the target track and tracked on the target track. This is called search or seek.

This search operation calculates the number of tracks to the target track and moves the pickup motor near the desired track by moving the slad motor when the number of tracks to be jumped is hundreds to thousands of tracks. To find the track. At this time, the rough search for moving the track by moving the slad motor is referred to as rough search and the fine search for jumping the track by moving the actuator.

1 is a block diagram of a general configuration of an optical disk recording / reproducing apparatus for performing such rough search and fine search. In the optical pickup 102, an optical disk in which an optical beam focused on an objective lens is controlled by the servo controller 106 is used. The light is placed on the signal track of 101, and the light reflected from the signal recording surface is focused again by the objective lens and then incident on the photo detector for detection of the focus error signal and the tracking error signal.

The photo detector includes a plurality of photo detectors, and an electrical signal proportional to the amount of light obtained by each photo detector is output to the focus error signal detector 104 and the tracking error signal detector 105, respectively.

The focus error signal detector 104 detects a focus error signal FE from the electrical signal output from the photo detector and outputs the focus error signal FE to the servo controller 106, and the tracking error signal detector 105 is output from the photo detector. The tracking error signal TE is detected from the electrical signal and output to the servo controller 106.

The servo controller 106 processes the focus error signal FE to output a driving signal for focusing control to the focus servo driver 108, and processes the tracking error signal TE to signal the driving signal for tracking control. Is output to the tracking servo driver 109.

At this time, the focus servo driver 108 moves the optical pickup 102 up and down by driving the focus actuator in the optical pickup 102 so that the optical disk 101 follows the vertical movement along with the rotation. That is, the focus actuator for driving the objective lens to focus up and down, that is, in the direction of the focus axis, keeps the distance between the objective lens and the optical disk 101 constant according to the focus control signal.

In addition, the tracking servo driver 109 corrects the position of the beam by moving the objective lens of the optical pickup 102 in the radial direction by driving the tracking actuator in the optical pickup 102 in the case of normal reproduction or fine search. , Track a predetermined track. That is, the control is performed such that the track center lines of the optical pickup 102 and the disk 101 coincide with each other.

In the case of the rough search, since the optical pickup main body must be directly transferred, the slad servo drive unit 110 drives the slad motor 103 under the control of the servo control unit 106.

At this time, the feedback signal for controlling the driving of the slad motor 103 is a frequency generation (FG) signal.

2A to 2C show the mechanical configuration of the slad motor 103 and the optical pickup 102 and the generation process of the FG signal.

That is, a slit in which holes are formed at predetermined intervals is attached to the sled motor as shown in FIG. 2A, and a light emitting part and a light receiving part that receive light into the slit and receive light passing through the slit on both sides of the slit. It is arranged as 2b. Therefore, when the slit is rotated by rotating the slad motor 103, light passing through the hole formed in the slit is detected through the light receiving unit. This signal is an FG signal as shown in Fig. 2C.

Here, the frequency and resolution of the FG signal are proportional. That is, the higher the frequency of the FG signal, the higher the resolution, and the lower the frequency, the lower the resolution. That is, the denser the hole spacing, the higher the frequency of the FG signal, that is, the resolution. At this time, when the FG signal is counted, it is possible to predict the position where the optical pickup is moved by the slad motor and the linear distance moved.

Therefore, the number of FG signals generated during one revolution of the slad motor 103 must always be constant so that the position where the optical pickup has moved and the linear distance moved can be accurately predicted.

However, if the mass produced sled motor is of poor quality or poor quality due to technical problems, it is different from the number of FG signals generated in the normal state. When rough search is performed in this state, accurate prediction is not achieved. The jump will not work properly.

On the other hand, during normal recording / reproducing operation or fine search, the tracking actuator is driven to move the objective lens of the optical pickup in the radial direction.

At this time, the disk is rotated with the eccentric because the eccentric exists. In other words, even if the tracks of the disc are recorded accurately in a spiral shape, an eccentricity is generated because the center hole is different. In addition, as the disc manufacturing process causes distortion during the injection and curing of the resin, an eccentricity occurs even when the center hole is accurately drilled. Therefore, this eccentric amount varies from disc to disc.

However, in the related art, since the tracking actuator driving voltage and the break time are equally applied to all the disks according to the determined amount of disk eccentricity, fine search is not performed properly.

As such, there is a problem in that the accurate search is not made due to the fine search not considering the eccentricity of the disk and the rough search not considering the quality of the slad motor.

The present invention is to solve the above problems, an object of the present invention is to store the number of the FG signal according to the slat motor rotation in the normal state as backup data (backup) using this, whether there is an abnormality of the slad motor And it provides a slat motor drive control method for performing the correction.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an actuator drive control method for storing actuator data of actuator movement information according to the amount of disk eccentricity and performing abnormality and correction of the actuator using the backup data.

It is still another object of the present invention to provide a disc search method for performing track search such as fine search and rough search with a corrected value.

Characterized in that it comprises the step of performing a search.

Other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of embodiments taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The present invention will be described by dividing the drive control of the slad motor and the drive control of the actuator.

i) slad motor drive control

3 is an operation flowchart for controlling the driving of the slad motor according to the present invention.

First, a voltage is applied to a normal slad motor, and the number of FG signals generated during one revolution of the slad motor according to the driving voltage is measured and stored in the memory 107 as backup data (step 301). This is done during production. The memory 107 may use an existing one or may be newly installed.

In addition, the memory 107 is also stored in advance the adjustment value according to the motor failure. For example, the adjustment value may store the driving voltage of the slad motor corresponding to the difference in the number of FG signals generated during one rotation of the motor as it is or as an offset.

Then, when the disk is mounted (step 302), the number of FG signals at this time is measured while rotating the slad motor one step (step 303). In this case, the number of FG signals may be obtained by measuring all the number of FG signals while rotating the slad motor for a predetermined number of times and then averaging them.

When the number of FG signals corresponding to one rotation of the motor is obtained in step 303, the result is compared with the number of FG signals stored in the memory (step 304).

If the number of two FG signals in step 304 is the same, the present slad motor is a normal case and maintains the present slad motor driving voltage as it is (step 306).

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 304 that the number of two FG signals do not match, the adjustment value according to the difference is read from the memory 107 to adjust the driving voltage of the slad motor (step 305).

4 (a) and 4 (b) show examples of a normal FG signal stored in a memory and an FG signal that is actually measured. As shown in FIG. Since there are many cases of deterioration, a difference occurs with the normal case of Fig. 4A.

Therefore, in this case, the driving voltage of the slad motor is adjusted, so that the number of FG signals generated in one rotation of the slad motor is equal to the number of FG signals generated in the normal case.

ii) Actuator drive control

5 is an operation flowchart for controlling the driving of the actuator according to the present invention.

First, backup data according to the amount of disk eccentricity is stored in the memory 107 during mass production of the product (step 501).

At this time, the disk eccentric amount is divided into a plurality of sections in a normal state, and the number of jump tracks is set in each section, and the driving voltage and the like when jumping the set tracks in each eccentric section are obtained and stored as backup data. .

For example, assuming that the disk eccentricity is 100 μm, divide the result into 10 to 30, 30 to 60, and 60 to 100, and measure the driving voltage when jumping 50, 100, and 150 tracks in each section. The separately obtained values are tabled in the memory 107. At this time, the memory 107 also stores the compensation value, break time, kick time, etc. when an error occurs with actual data.

Then, when the disk is mounted (step 502), the eccentricity of the disk according to one revolution of the spindle is measured (step 530) with only the focus servo turned on and the tracking servo turned off. That is, the disc eccentricity can be checked by the number of peaks of the tracking error according to the spindle one rotation component.

FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of calculating a track jump and an eccentric amount at this time in a general optical disk structure such as a compact disk (CD), which can be obtained as shown in Equation 1 below.

Here, Pn means the number of tracking error signals according to one revolution of the spindle.

When the disk eccentricity is measured using these methods, a constant voltage at the eccentric amount is applied to the tracking actuator.

For example, assuming that the eccentricity measured in step 503 is 50 μm, a plurality of actuator driving voltages set in the section corresponding to 50 μm are sequentially applied to the actuator to calculate the number of track jumps at this time. That is, when the driving voltage is applied to the actuator as much as 100 tracks, the number of track jumps of the actual actuator according to the eccentric amount of 50 μm is calculated.

The measured value is compared with the backup data stored in the memory 107 (step 505).

If it is determined in step 505 that the measured data is equal to the backup data, the tracking actuator is a normal case and thus maintains the current actuator drive voltage, break time, etc. (step 507).

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 505 that the measured data does not match the backup data, the difference is compensated for and used in the fine search (step 508). At this time, the compensation value is also stored in the memory 107.

That is, when the actuator moving distance stored as the backup data is applied to the actuator in the same eccentric amount and the actuator moving distance stored as the backup data is the same as the measured actuator moving distance, the actuator is normal. If the actuator is different, the actuator is abnormal.

Therefore, the actuator driving voltage is adjusted by two difference values, so as to be equal to the moving distance of the normal actuator in the same eccentric amount.

The drive control of the slad motor and the drive control of the actuator as described above are performed as one of the initialization process of the system, and once compensation is made at the initial stage, the actual operation may not be performed. In addition, when the rough search and the fine search are performed using the adjusted slad driving voltage and the actuator driving voltage, stable and accurate search can be performed.

As described above, according to the slad motor and actuator driving control method and the disk search method using the same, the FG information according to one rotation of the slad motor and the actuator driving information according to the disk eccentricity are backed up during mass production of the product. Is stored in the memory, the sled motor and the disk eccentricity are measured at system initialization, and then the driving voltage of the sled motor and the tracking actuator is adjusted by comparing with the backup data stored in the memory. By performing the rough search and the fine search with the actuator driving voltage, errors caused by the quality of the disk and the quality problems of the slad motor and the tracking actuator that are mass produced can be compensated to perform accurate and stable search.
