- the projection 84a comes into contact with the lock arm 77, and furthermore, the lock arm 77 is rotated counterclockwise in the drawing against the urging force of the lock release spring 79.
- the claw portion 77a engages with the hole 72b as shown in FIG. 6 (C).
- the lens holder 72 is locked with respect to the base 76, and does not approach more than a predetermined distance. This This is referred to as a state in which the objective lens 32 and the optical disc 1 are held apart from each other, and is referred to as a separated holding state.
- the lens holder is set so that the distance d between the protective ring 72a and the average position of the optical disc 1 is equal to or more than A, which is one amplitude of the surface deflection of the optical disc 1.
- A which is one amplitude of the surface deflection of the optical disc 1.
- the procedure for canceling the separated holding state is basically performed in the reverse order of the above.
- the aberration correction lens holder 84 is moved rightward in FIG. 6 (C), and is moved from the extended correction range to the feed range of the normal correction operation.
- the urging force of the lock release spring 79 acting on the lock arm 77 causes the lock arm 77 to rotate around the rotation pin 80, and the force of the hole 72b also comes off the claw portion 77a. Is unlocked.
- the driving means in the focusing direction of the objective lens actuator is not controlled immediately after the claw portion 77a has released the force of the hole 72b, the elastic deformation energy of the suspension 73 is suddenly released and the lens holder 72 is released.
- the lens holder 72 is likely to collide with the optical disk 1 by giving an upward acceleration to the lens. Therefore, when canceling the separated holding state, the driving means in the focusing direction is driven in a DC manner in a direction away from the optical disc 1 so that the lens holder 72 is not suddenly displaced.
- the hole 72b and the claw 77a are in a frictional state. Therefore, if the projection 84a is merely separated from the lock arm 77, the separated holding state is obtained only by the elastic restoring force of the lock release spring 79. There is a possibility that it cannot be released, but by driving the lens holder 2 away from the optical disc 1, the hole 72b and the claw 77a separate, eliminating friction, and the elastic restoring force of the lock release spring 79 ensures that The separation holding state can be released.
- the DC component in the direction away from the optical disc 1 is minimized when releasing the separation holding state. It is also effective to add an AC signal component in the focusing direction or the tracking direction in a superimposed manner to apply vibration to the lens holder 72. As a result, the friction between the hole 72b and the claw portion 77a shifts to dynamic friction and the frictional force is reduced, and the separated holding state can be released only by the elastic restoring force of the lock release spring 79.
- the operation is shifted to the focus pull-in operation by the normal servo system, whereby the power ON or the return from the power saving standby is completed.
- the lock arm 77 is mounted on the base 76 of the objective lens actuator, for example, the inclination of the objective lens actuator with respect to the reference surface of the optical disc 1 or the like from the base 76. Even if the adjustment is made, the relative relationship between the hole 72b and the claw portion 77a does not change, so that the adjustment is easy. In addition, by using the AC signal when releasing the separation holding state, it is possible to efficiently return to the operating state.
- the aberration correcting mechanism has been described as a means for moving the lock arm 77, an actuator independently mounted on the base 76 may be used.
- the state in which power is not supplied to the spindle motor that rotates the optical disc 1 may be set to the non-operation state and the apparatus may enter the distance holding state.
- the optical disc device outputs the information and the information is not viewed from the optical head. Since it is in operation, the spindle motor can be stopped and the state can be maintained.
- the present embodiment is effective in any device such as a high NA optical disk device, for example, a device exclusively for high-density reproduction, a device for phase change, and a magneto-optical disk.
- a high NA optical disk device for example, a device exclusively for high-density reproduction, a device for phase change, and a magneto-optical disk.
