- the transmission path of the instruction is indicated by a broken line
- the transmission path of the data signal such as the control signal is indicated by a solid line.
- the broken line from the system controller 30 to other circuits indicates the path of the instruction a from the system controller 30.
- a circuit receiving an instruction executes processing based on that instruction. Some circuits perform their processing using data received as data signals.

- the signal processing circuit 40 includes an FE signal generation circuit 41 and a light amount detection circuit 42.
- the FE signal generation circuit 41 generates and outputs an FE signal b.
- the FE signal b represents the deviation between the focal position of the laser light in the vertical direction of the disc 1 and the information surface L of the disc 1 according to the signal level.
- the light amount detection circuit 42 performs low pass filtering on the photocurrent signal to extract and output a light amount signal c in a frequency band below a predetermined frequency.

- the TE signal is also required to read out the desired data from the disc 1 In the context of the process according to the invention, further detailed description is omitted.
- the disk controller 50 outputs a signal for realizing the main control operation of the disk drive 10. For example, the disk controller 50 generates a focus control signal based on the signal output from the FE signal generation circuit 41, and controls the focus position of light based on the focus control signal. Further, the disk controller 50 generates a retraction signal for retracting the position of the objective lens 23 at a predetermined speed when the disk 1 is mounted and ejected. Furthermore, the disk controller 50 generates a speed control signal for moving the objective lens 23 at a predetermined speed from the position after the retraction of the objective lens 23 to the position where the data of the information surface L can be read out. If the disk controller 50 determines that the position of the focal point has suddenly deviated from the information plane L while performing focus control, it generates a retraction signal to retract the objective lens 23.
- the disk controller 50 includes a monitoring circuit 51, a save control unit 52, a speed control unit 53, a focus control circuit 54, and a switching circuit 55.
- the monitoring circuit 51 monitors the signal level of the output signal c of the light amount detection circuit 42 when the focus control is being performed. When the signal level falls below the predetermined value (CM), the evacuation control unit 52 is notified, and an instruction is issued to the switching circuit 55 so that the evacuation signal from the evacuation control unit 52 is selected. In the present specification, the monitoring circuit 51 determines that the focal position of the light deviates from the information surface L when the signal level falls below the predetermined value (CM), that is, it determines that the focus control has deviated. . The retraction control unit 52 generates and outputs a retraction signal for retracting the objective lens 23 based on the instruction from the system controller 30 and the notification from the monitoring circuit 51. While the retraction signal is output to the drive circuit 60 and !!
- the movement amount (or retraction position) of the objective lens 23 is determined according to the signal level of the retraction signal. Then, when the final value is given as the signal level of the retraction signal, the objective lens 23 moves to the position farthest from the disc 1 side force in the movable range. This completes the save operation.
- the “farthest position” is, for example, a position at which the actuator 22 mechanically hits another member in the optical pickup 20 at the lowest point of the movable range of the objective lens 23. At this time, the objective lens 23 is not in contact with other members, so that the objective lens 23 is not damaged.
- the speed control unit 53 outputs a speed control signal for changing the moving speed according to the position of the objective lens 23.
- the retraction signal and the speed control signal are used to move the objective lens 23 and control its position. Therefore, in the present specification, the retraction signal and the speed control signal may be collectively referred to as a "position control signal".
- the retraction control unit 52 and the speed control unit 53 both output a signal for controlling the position of the focal point. Therefore, it may be realized as one chip circuit (position control circuit 56) including the functions of the evacuation control unit 52 and the speed control unit 53.
- the focus control circuit 54 generates a focus control signal based on the FE signal b output from the FE signal generation circuit 41.
- the focus control signal is used to continuously position the focal point of the light on the information plane L and is necessary when reading data from the disc 1.
- the focus control circuit 54 issues an instruction to the switching circuit 55 to instruct selection of the focus control signal output by itself.
- the switching circuit 55 selects and outputs one of the input one or more signals to the driving circuit 60. For example, upon receiving the focus control signal and its output command from the focus control circuit 54, the switching circuit 55 outputs the focus control signal. Alternatively, when the switching circuit 55 receives a save signal from the save control unit 52 and receives an output command of the save signal from the system controller 30 or the monitoring circuit 51, the switch circuit 55 outputs the save signal. Furthermore, switching circuit 55 receives the speed control signal from speed control unit 53 and When receiving a speed control signal output command from the controller 30, the speed control signal is output.
- the drive circuit 60 generates a voltage signal (drive signal) based on the drive control signal from the disk controller 50 and applies it to the actuator 22 of the optical pickup 20.

- (b) to (e) in FIG. 4 respectively show the FE signal b, the light amount signal c, the control state signal d, and the drive control signal e shown in FIG.
- FIG. 4 (f) shows the position of the objective lens corresponding to the signal level of the drive control signal e. That is, when the drive control signal of FIG. 4 (e) is input to the drive circuit 60, the objective lens 23 moves to the position shown in FIG. 4 (f).
- Fig. 4 (f) also shows the position of the information surface L.
- the drive control signal shown in FIG. 4 (e) is described as being input to the drive circuit 60, this drive control signal may be considered as a voltage signal (drive signal) applied to the actuator 22.

- the change in (f) is also as described below.
- FIG. 4 (f) may be regarded as the position of actuator 22. Because the actuator 22 and the objective lens 23 are connected, the positions of the disc 1 in the vertical direction are considered to be substantially the same.
- the disk loading start time (time tO) is the time when the user places the disk 1 on the disk tray (not shown) of the disk drive 10 and the loading of the disk 1 into the disk drive 10 is started. .
- the system controller 30 drives the motor based on the output from a sensor (not shown) that detects the insertion of the disk 1, and pulls in the disk tray.
- System The controller 30 can easily identify the load start time tO. Although a mode in which the disk 1 is loaded by directly inserting the disk 1 into the disk slot without using the disk tray may be considered, the process is the same. Also at this time, the insertion is detected by the sensor, and the force to drive the motor and pull in the disc 1 is also used.
- the system controller 30 sends a retraction command of the objective lens 23 to the retraction control unit 52.
- the save control unit 52 that has received the save instruction generates a save signal.
- the switching circuit 55 outputs a save signal generated by the save control unit 52 from time t0 to t3 based on an instruction from the system controller 30. This save signal corresponds to the first "save signal" of the drive control signals shown in FIG. 4 (e).
- the save signal initially falls to the signal level Elvll.
- This signal level corresponds to the position closer to the disc 1 than the position at which the objective lens 23 is farthest away.
- the retraction signal having the signal level Elvll, the objective lens 23 moves at high speed to a position separated by a distance Lvl (hereinafter referred to as “position Lvl” or the like) as viewed from the information surface L.
- position Lvl a distance
- the retracted position EM2 corresponds to the above-mentioned "farthest position", and the retraction is completed when the objective lens 23 reaches this position (time tl). After this, in order to fix the position of the objective lens 23 at the retracted position, the signal level of the retraction signal is kept at the level Elvl2.
- the disk 1 is loaded into the disk drive 10 and installation is completed.
- the system controller 30 outputs a focus control ON command.
- the speed control unit 53 In response to the focus control ON command, the speed control unit 53 outputs a speed control signal.
- the switching circuit 55 outputs the speed control signal generated by the speed control unit 53 from time t3 based on an instruction from the system controller 30. This speed control signal corresponds to the "speed control signal" in the drive control signal shown in FIG. 4 (e). At this point, the laser light source 21 of the optical pickup 20 starts emitting laser light.
- the specific operation based on the speed control signal is as follows. That is, speed control The signal rises from signal level EM2 to Elvl 3 at a relatively large rate of change (slope of the graph in FIG. 4 (e)). As a result, the objective lens 23 moves in the direction of the disc 1 from the retracted position (EM2) at a relatively high speed. When the signal level reaches the level EM3 and the objective lens 23 reaches the position Lv3, the speed control signal gradually rises with a gentler slope than before. As the slope of the speed control signal becomes gentle, the objective lens 23 changes with speed slower than before.
- the allowable value of the runout on the disc 1 is determined! In the case of /, it can be determined based on the value.
- the "surface runout" is defined as the deviation from the reference surface (eg, the clamped surface of the center of the disc 1).
- the position Lv3 is a value obtained by cutting 0.3 mm from the objective lens position focused on the information surface L to the depth from the information surface L. You should do it.
- the allowable value of the runout is not limited to ⁇ 0.3 mm, but may be ⁇ 0.5 mm, for example. The runout can be measured separately in the radial direction of all disks 1.
- the focus control circuit 54 determines that the focus control is possible for the focus control at the current focus position.
- the focus control circuit 54 sends a focus control signal and its output command to the switching circuit 55.
- the switching circuit 55 switches the output signal to the focus control signal based on the output command. This signal corresponds to the signal shown as "focus control signal" in the drive control signal shown in FIG. 4 (e).
- the inclination of the speed control signal is changed in two steps, and at the start of the movement of the objective lens 23, it is moved relatively fast in the direction of the disc 1, and reaches position Lv3. After that, I am moving at a slower speed.
- the focus of light can be controlled so as not to pass over the information surface L.
- the focus can be reliably moved within the focus controllable range.
- stop objective lens 23 securely. Can. Thus, the collision between the disc 1 and the objective lens 23 can be appropriately avoided.
- the control state signal d shown in FIG. 4 (d) represents the state of whether or not the focus control is being performed by the signal level. That is, at time t4, the control state signal d transitions from the low level indicating the non-control state to the high level indicating the control state. After time t4, while the focus control is continuously performed, it is possible to read out the information surface L force data of the disc 1.
- the reproduction processing circuit 70 acquires data based on the photocurrent signal obtained from the light receiving unit 24 and outputs the data.
- FIG. 4 (b) shows the waveform of the FE signal disturbed immediately before time t5. It is understood that the amplitude of the FE signal increases and the focus error increases.
- FIG. 4 (c) shows the waveform of the light intensity signal disturbed simultaneously with the FE signal immediately before time t5.
- the level of the light amount signal is lower than the predetermined reference value ClvU.
- This reference value is preset in the monitoring circuit 51.
- the monitoring circuit 51 detects that the output of the light amount detection circuit 42 has become smaller than the reference value CM, it determines that the focus control has deviated. Then, the monitoring circuit 51 notifies the save control unit 52.
- evacuation system The control unit 52 starts generation and output of the save signal.
- the start circuit 51 sends an instruction to the switching circuit 55 to select and output the save signal from the save control unit 52.
- the switching circuit 55 switches the focus control signal from the focus control circuit 54 to the retraction signal from the retraction control unit 52 and sends it to the drive circuit 60.
- the change in waveform of the save signal at this time is the same as the change in waveform of the save signal until time tO force t3.
- the objective lens 23 moves to the position Lvl at high speed, and then gradually moves to the retraction position Lv2 at a lower speed, as in the case of the disk attachment.
- the retracted position Lv2 is a position at which the actuator 22 mechanically hits another member.
- the system controller 30 holds the position until an instruction to operate the focus control is output.
- the objective lens 23 moves away from the disc 1 at high speed, so that contact between the objective lens 23 and the disc 1 can be avoided even if the focus control is released.
- FIG. 5 shows the procedure of processing of the disk device 10.
- step S51 when the system controller 30 receives a disk loading start instruction based on the sensor output, in step S52, the objective lens 23 is retracted to the retraction position Lv2 by the retraction signal.
- step S53 the system controller 30 confirms whether or not the disc mounting has been completed. If the mounting is not completed, the process returns to step 52, and the position of the objective lens 23 is held at the retraction position Lv2. If mounting is complete, the process proceeds to step 54.
- step S54 the save control unit 52 and the switching circuit 55 end the output of the save signal based on the instruction of the system controller 30.
- step S55 the speed control unit 53 and the switching circuit 55 output a speed control signal and apply it to the drive circuit 60 to move the objective lens 23 at a relatively fast speed to position Lv3.
- step S56 after position Lv3, the objective lens 23 is moved at a slower constant velocity.
- step S57 the focus control circuit 54 determines whether or not the focus control operation is possible. If possible, the process proceeds to step S58. If not, the process returns to step S56. Bow I Continuously bring the objective lens 23 close to the disc 1 gradually.
- step S 58 the focus control circuit 54 outputs a switching instruction to the switching circuit 55 and outputs a focus control signal to perform focus control.
- the monitoring circuit 51 monitors, at step S59, whether or not the focus control state is maintained, specifically, whether or not the focus control is out, based on the level of the light amount signal. If focus control is maintained, the process returns to step S58, and focus control and its monitoring are continued. If not, proceed to step S60.
- step S60 the retraction control unit 52 and the switching circuit 55 output a retraction signal to retract the objective lens 23.
- the retraction signal of the signal level Elvl 2 is continuously output to hold the objective lens at the retraction position until resumption of focus control is instructed.
- the above-described process may not reach the focus control state when the disc 1 having a lateral runout exceeding the above-described allowable value is mounted, which is detecting that the focus control is deviated due to the disturbance.
- the focal point of the light gradually approaches the disc 1, the relative velocity between the focal point of the light and the information surface L is large, and the output time of the FE signal waveform becomes extremely short.
- the objective lens 23 can not follow the surface fluctuation of the information surface L and approaches the disk 1 as it is and eventually contacts it.
- FIG. 6 shows the relationship between the waveforms of various signals in the disk unit 10 and the time change of the position of the objective lens during the ejection process of the disk 1.
- (A)-(f) in Figure 6 correspond to (a)-(f) in Figure 4 respectively.
- the system controller 30 When the digital button output instructing to eject the disc 1 is received, the system controller 30 outputs an instruction to end the focus control. This instruction is sent to the save control unit 52 and the switching circuit 55. Receive this order Then, the save control unit 52 outputs a save signal. Further, the switching circuit 55 switches the focus control signal of the focus control circuit 54 to a save signal.
- the waveform and signal level of the save signal at this time are the same as from time t0 to time t3 in (e) of FIG. That is, in response to the retraction signal, the drive circuit 60 drives the actuator 22 to move the objective lens 23 to the position Lvl at high speed, and thereafter gradually lowers it to the retraction position Lv2 at a low speed.
- the system controller 30 When the system controller 30 confirms that the objective lens 23 is present at the retraction position Lv2, it outputs a disc ejection command at time t1. Then, the objective lens 23 is kept at the retracted position (EM2), the disc tray (not shown) is fed out of the disc apparatus 10, and the disc 1 is ejected. The disc 1 is removed from the disc tray by the user, and the disc tray is put back into the disc drive 10 again. At time til, the system controller 30 determines that the discharging operation has ended. The system controller 30 instructs the save control unit 52 and the switching circuit 55 to stop the output of the save signal. As a result, the drive circuit 60 stops driving the actuator 22 and the objective lens 23 connected to the actuator 22 and the actuator 22 returns to the natural position (initial position).
- the actuator 22 when mounting of the disc 1 is started, the actuator 22 is retracted to the position Lv2 based on the retraction signal. Furthermore, the objective lens 23 is similarly retracted to the position Lv2, and the objective lens is held at the retracted position, in response to the command for ending the focus control. Also, while the focus control is being performed, the monitoring circuit 51 detects that the focus control has deviated when the output of the light quantity detection circuit 42 falls below the predetermined value (C), and retracts to the retraction position (Elvl 2). Do. Therefore, even when control is not properly performed, it is possible to prevent the objective lens 23 from strongly colliding with the disc 1.
- the actuator 22 is driven at a relatively high speed to move the objective lens 23 to the position Lvl. Then, from the position Lvl, the actuator 22 is driven at low speed to make the objective lens 23 reach the retreat position Lv2. Since the objective lens 23 is retracted at such a two-step speed, the objective lens 23 passes through the position where it easily collides with the disk at high speed, and the impact on the actuator 22 at the retraction position is suppressed to reduce the damage to the actuator. It can be suppressed. In addition, noise generated by the disk device can be reduced.
- the actuator 22 mechanically hits other members, so that the actuator does not cause unnecessary vibration. Then, since the operation for focus control is started from the evacuation position Lv2, the actuator 22 is stable, and the control stability can be improved.
- the speed control signal output from the speed control unit 53 moves the actuator 22 at the retraction position Lv2 at high speed to the position Lv3, and the force also drives the actuator 22 at low speed.
- the monitoring circuit 51 monitors the force control only by the output c of the light amount detection circuit 42.
- the output b of the force FE signal generation circuit 41 and the output of the focus control circuit 54 You may use combining and so on.
- mechanical shock is reduced by making part of the retraction signal into a ramp waveform, but it may be a stepped waveform or a quadratic waveform.
- the object lens 23 is moved at two speeds of low speed and high speed by the speed control signal, but the speed may be changed continuously by further increasing the speed step or continuously changing the speed. Thus, unnecessary vibration of the objective lens 23 can be suppressed and the operation up to the focus control state can be performed at high speed.
- the actuator 22 in moving the actuator 22 for retraction of the objective lens when the disc 1 is mounted. I did more. The entire optical pickup 3 may be moved to retract the objective lens 23 from the disc 1, and after the disc 1 is mounted, retraction may be performed by the actuator 22.
- the system controller 30 can control the above-described operation by executing a computer program.
- a computer program includes, for example, instructions for performing the process defined in the flow chart shown in FIG.
- the computer program can be recorded on a recording medium such as an optical recording medium represented by an optical disc, a semiconductor memory medium represented by an SD memory card and an EEPROM, and a magnetic recording medium represented by a flexible disc.
- the disk device 10 can obtain a computer program not only via a recording medium but also via a telecommunication line such as the Internet.
- the disk controller 50 can be distributed as a single semiconductor chip, such as a digital signal processor (DSP), or as a circuit board on which one or more semiconductor chips are mounted. Then, the disk controller 50 can be mounted on a device provided with components other than the disk controller 50 shown in FIG. 3, for example, and can make that device function as the above-described disk device 10.
