 本発明は、ディスク型記録担体を格納しそれと相対的に移動しうる感知素子を備えた光ディスク装置、光磁気ディスク装置、ハードディスク装置などのディスク型記録担体駆動装置と、それを内部に搭載するパーソナルメディアプレーヤ、モバイルインターネットデバイス、携帯型のテレビ電話端末、PDA、超小型PCなどのモバイル系または車載用ナビゲータシステムなどの移動通信系を含めた電子機器に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a disk-type record carrier driving device such as an optical disk device, a magneto-optical disk device, and a hard disk device having a sensing element that stores a disk-type record carrier and can move relative to the disk-type record carrier. The present invention relates to an electronic apparatus including a mobile communication system such as a mobile system such as a media player, a mobile Internet device, a portable videophone terminal, a PDA, and a micro PC, or an in-vehicle navigator system.
 従来のディスク型記録担体を格納しそれと相対的に移動しうる感知素子を備えた光ディスク装置、光磁気ディスク装置、ハードディスク装置などは、情報の記録面を有するディスク型記録担体を格納する格納部と、その格納部を内蔵し一対の主面、一対の主側面および一対の副側面の全6面を有する扁平な略直方体形状の本体部とを備えている。
 そして、その本体部の主面の4隅に近い主側面両側の部分または副側面両側の部分には、その装置を搭載する電子機器に固定するための固定部材を装着可能な開口を設けた固定部がそれら側面から突出するように設けられている。
 さらに、その装置が搭載される電子機器の用途がパーソナルメディアプレーヤ、モバイルインターネットデバイス、携帯電話、携帯型のテレビ電話端末、PDA、超小型PCなどのモバイル系または車載用ナビゲータシステムなどの移動通信系の用途であれば、衝撃吸収機能を増大させて耐衝撃性や耐振動性の向上を図ることが要求されるため、その固定部においては、例えばC形状で開口されダンパ、バンパ、またはインシュレータなどと呼ばれる小さな弾性率の素材を用いて所望の形状に加工した防振部を介在させてネジを挿通して固定されている。
An optical disk device, a magneto-optical disk device, a hard disk device, etc. having a sensing element capable of storing a conventional disk-type record carrier and moving relative to the disk-type record carrier have a storage unit for storing a disk-type record carrier having an information recording surface; And a flat, substantially rectangular parallelepiped main body having a total of six surfaces including a pair of main surfaces, a pair of main side surfaces, and a pair of sub-side surfaces.
And the fixing which provided the opening which can mount | wear with the fixing member for fixing to the electronic device which mounts the apparatus in the part of both sides of the main side surface near the four corners of the main surface of the main-body part, or the sub-side surface both sides The portions are provided so as to protrude from the side surfaces.
In addition, the electronic device in which the device is mounted is used for mobile communication systems such as personal media players, mobile Internet devices, mobile phones, mobile videophone terminals, PDAs, ultra-small PCs, mobile systems, or in-vehicle navigator systems. For example, since it is required to increase the shock absorbing function to improve the shock resistance and vibration resistance, the fixing portion is opened in a C shape, for example, a damper, a bumper, or an insulator. It is fixed by inserting a screw through an anti-vibration part that is processed into a desired shape using a material having a small elastic modulus.
 まず、図9の従来技術におけるディスク装置の部分斜視図で示した場合であれば、ガイド軸94がシャーシ98にネジ97で止められた押さえ部材900と第2支持部材95とによって位置規制がなされ、下向きに付勢する押圧片91とガイド軸94の端面に接する第2当接片92と切り欠き96とによって所定の位置に規制された状態で取り付けられている。
 ここで、そのシャーシ98の四隅部においてC形状で開口され、その開口部(図示せず)に両端部が拡径したゴム製の防振部99が装着され図示しないネジで固定されている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。
First, in the case shown in the partial perspective view of the disk device in the prior art of FIG. 9, the position of the guide shaft 94 is regulated by the holding member 900 and the second support member 95 secured to the chassis 98 by screws 97. The pressure piece 91 is urged downward, the second contact piece 92 is in contact with the end surface of the guide shaft 94, and the notch 96 is attached in a state regulated at a predetermined position.
Here, a rubber vibration isolating portion 99 having a C-shaped opening at the four corners of the chassis 98 and having both ends enlarged in diameter is attached to the opening (not shown) and fixed with screws (not shown) ( For example, see Patent Document 1).
 また、本体部の一対の主面のどちらの面の4隅にも防振部を設けたディスクドライブ(例えば、特許文献2参照)や、一対の主面、一対の主側面および一対の副側面の全6面全ての面の4隅も覆設するように主面側から見て略L字形状の防振部が設けられた情報記憶装置があった(例えば、特許文献3参照)。 In addition, a disk drive (see, for example, Patent Document 2) provided with a vibration isolating portion at either of the four corners of the pair of main surfaces of the main body, a pair of main surfaces, a pair of main side surfaces, and a pair of sub side surfaces There is an information storage device provided with a substantially L-shaped anti-vibration portion as viewed from the main surface side so as to cover the four corners of all six surfaces (see, for example, Patent Document 3).
 さらに、一対の主側面または一対の副側面のいずれかの面の両側にネジを挿通する開口を有する固定部が突出して設けられ、その固定部の一方の面に同じくネジを挿通する開口を有するプレート状の防振部が設けられ両者が固定されているディスク装置(例えば、特許文献4参照)や、一対の主側面および一対の副側面のどちらにも両側に突出した固定部が設けられ、その固定部の付け根部分のみを囲繞するように防振部が設けられた光ディスク再生装置に内蔵されたメカデッキがあった(例えば、特許文献5参照)。 Furthermore, a fixed portion having an opening through which a screw is inserted is provided on both sides of either one of the pair of main side surfaces or the pair of sub-side surfaces, and an opening through which the screw is similarly inserted is provided on one surface of the fixed portion. A disk device (see, for example, Patent Document 4) in which a plate-shaped vibration isolating portion is provided and both are fixed, and a fixing portion protruding on both sides is provided on either the pair of main side surfaces and the pair of sub side surfaces, There has been a mechanical deck built in an optical disk reproducing apparatus provided with a vibration isolating portion so as to surround only the base portion of the fixed portion (see, for example, Patent Document 5).

 しかしながら、前記従来の構成、例えば(特許文献1)や(特許文献5)の構成では、電子機器に搭載されるディスク装置のシャーシを固定する位置を規制しやすい反面、ディスク装置と電子機器との間に介在する防振部がネジや枠体で固定されていることにより防振部の衝撃吸収面積が小さいので、電子機器に加わった大部分の衝撃振動が防振部によって十分に吸収されず、その衝撃振動がディスク装置の本体部に伝わり瞬間的に発生する大きな変位により、本体の格納部に格納されたディスクカートリッジが破損したり本体部を構成する光ピックアップやその周辺の機構が破損したりまたは動作不良が発生したりするという課題を有していた。 However, in the conventional configuration, for example, the configurations of (Patent Document 1) and (Patent Document 5), it is easy to regulate the position of fixing the chassis of the disk device mounted on the electronic device. The shock absorbing area of the anti-vibration part is small because the anti-vibration part interposed between them is fixed with screws or a frame, so most of the shock vibration applied to the electronic equipment is not sufficiently absorbed by the anti-vibration part. The shock vibration is transmitted to the main body of the disk device, and the large displacement that occurs instantaneously causes damage to the disk cartridge stored in the main body storage, or damages the optical pickup constituting the main body and the surrounding mechanism. Or had a problem of malfunction.
 また、(特許文献2)や(特許文献3)では耐衝撃性や耐振動性の向上は図れるものの主面の四隅が防振部によって覆設されるので、その高さ分だけ装置を搭載する電子機器の高さが大きくなりパーソナルメディアプレーヤ、モバイルインターネットデバイス、携帯電話、携帯型のテレビ電話端末、PDA、超小型PCなどのより薄型化の要求されるモバイル系の電子機器には適さないという課題を有していた。 In (Patent Document 2) and (Patent Document 3), although the impact resistance and the vibration resistance can be improved, the four corners of the main surface are covered with the vibration isolating portion, so the device is mounted by the height. It is not suitable for mobile electronic devices that are required to be thinner, such as personal media players, mobile Internet devices, mobile phones, portable videophone terminals, PDAs, and ultra-compact PCs. Had problems.
 また、(特許文献4)は、そのディスク装置それ自体の落下衝撃には効果があるものの、そのディスク装置を他の電子機器の搭載可能な構成ではないので、電子機器に搭載して耐衝撃性や耐振動性を向上することはできないという課題を有していた。 In addition, (Patent Document 4) is effective in dropping impact of the disk device itself, but the disk device is not configured to be mounted on other electronic devices. And the vibration resistance cannot be improved.
 本発明は前記従来の課題を解決するもので、薄型化にもかかわらず衝撃吸収機能を増加させて耐衝撃性や耐振動性を向上したディスク型記録担体駆動装置およびそれを備えた電子機器を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and provides a disk-type record carrier driving apparatus and an electronic apparatus including the same, which have improved shock resistance and vibration resistance by increasing the shock absorbing function despite being thin. The purpose is to provide.
 本発明のディスク型記録担体駆動装置によれば、情報の記録面を有するディスク型記録担体を格納する格納部と、格納部を内蔵し、格納部に格納されたディスク型記録担体の回転時において記録面と平行な方向に位置する一対の主面と一対の主面に対して垂直な方向に連接され相互に平行な位置関係にある一対の主側面と一対の主面および一対の主側面に対して垂直な方向に連接され相互に平行な位置関係にある一対の副側面との全6面を有する扁平な略直方体形状の本体部と、一対の主側面および一対の副側面の4側面の全てにおいて突出し、かつ、一対の主面に垂直な方向において一対の主面間の間隔よりも小さな高さを有する防振部と、を備えたことにより、主面方向、主側面方向および副側面方向の全6方向のいずれの方向においても本発明によるディスク型記録担体装置を搭載する電子機器の固定部と本装置の防振部との当接面積である衝撃吸収面積が増大し、かつ、防振部の表面全体に均一的に当接するので、耐衝撃性や耐振動性の向上を実現できる。
 また、本体部の高さに防振部の高さが加わり装置全体の高さが大きくなることがないので薄型化が容易で、かつ、主面よりも下がった防振部の表面に本発明によるディスク型記録担体装置を搭載する電子機器の備える固定部を当接させることにより、その電子機器の薄型化も容易とし、両者を固定するためにネジを用いることも不要となるので、局所的な固定応力が作用することなく、当接面全体においてより均一な固定応力が得られる。
According to the disk type record carrier driving apparatus of the present invention, a storage unit for storing a disk type record carrier having an information recording surface, and a built-in storage unit at the time of rotation of the disk type record carrier stored in the storage unit A pair of main surfaces located in a direction parallel to the recording surface, a pair of main side surfaces, a pair of main surfaces and a pair of main side surfaces connected in a direction perpendicular to the pair of main surfaces and parallel to each other. A flat, substantially rectangular parallelepiped body portion having a total of six surfaces with a pair of sub-side surfaces connected in parallel to each other in a vertical direction, and a pair of main side surfaces and a pair of sub-side surface four side surfaces. A vibration isolating portion that protrudes at all and has a height smaller than the interval between the pair of main surfaces in a direction perpendicular to the pair of main surfaces. In any of all six directions The shock absorption area, which is the contact area between the fixed part of the electronic device on which the disc-type record carrier device according to the present invention is mounted and the vibration isolator of the apparatus, is increased, and the entire surface of the vibration isolator is uniformly applied. Because it comes into contact, it is possible to improve impact resistance and vibration resistance.
In addition, since the height of the vibration isolator is added to the height of the main body and the overall height of the device does not increase, it is easy to reduce the thickness and the surface of the vibration isolator is lower than the main surface. By contacting the fixing part of the electronic device equipped with the disc type record carrier device according to the above, it is easy to make the electronic device thin, and it is not necessary to use a screw to fix both. Thus, a more uniform fixing stress can be obtained over the entire abutting surface.
 本発明のディスク型記録担体駆動装置によれば、防振部は、本体部の側面から突出した接続部の先端部を把持し、防振部の先端面は接続部の先端面よりも所定の距離だけ突出し、かつ、防振部の高さは接続部の高さよりも大きいことにより、本発明によるディスク型記録担体装置を搭載する電子機器の筐体などと所定の隙間を保持した状態で固定が可能となり、外部より衝撃振動を受けた場合でもその電子機器の備える固定部が直接的に接続部または本体部に接触することがなく、その衝撃振動エネルギーがその電子機器の固定部と接続部との間に介在する防振部によって十分に吸収されるので、耐衝撃性や耐振動性の向上を実現できる。 According to the disk-type record carrier driving device of the present invention, the vibration isolator grips the tip end of the connecting portion protruding from the side surface of the main body, and the tip end surface of the anti-vibration portion is more predetermined than the tip end surface of the connecting portion. It protrudes by a distance and the height of the vibration isolator is larger than the height of the connecting part, so that it is fixed in a state where a predetermined gap is maintained with the casing of the electronic device on which the disc type record carrier device according to the present invention is mounted. Even if it receives impact vibration from the outside, the fixed part of the electronic device does not directly contact the connection part or the main body part, and the shock vibration energy is not fixed to the fixed part and the connection part of the electronic device. Is sufficiently absorbed by the vibration isolating part interposed between the two, so that the impact resistance and vibration resistance can be improved.
 本発明のディスク型記録担体駆動装置によれば、防振部において、一対の主面と平行な面のうちいずれか一方の面のみは、一対の主面と垂直な方向において主面よりも所定の距離だけ突出したことにより、その突出した方向において本発明によるディスク型記録担体装置を搭載する電子機器の筐体の内面との間に所定の距離の隙間が生じ、電子機器の受けた衝撃振動が直接本体部に緩衝することがなくなるので、耐衝撃性や耐振動性の向上を実現できる。 According to the disk type record carrier driving device of the present invention, in the vibration isolator, only one of the surfaces parallel to the pair of main surfaces is more predetermined than the main surface in the direction perpendicular to the pair of main surfaces. Projecting in the projecting direction, a gap of a predetermined distance is formed between the projecting direction and the inner surface of the housing of the electronic device on which the disc-type record carrier device according to the present invention is mounted, and the impact vibration received by the electronic device Since it does not buffer directly on the main body, it is possible to improve the impact resistance and vibration resistance.
 本発明のディスク型記録担体駆動装置によれば、4側面のいずれかの側面に設けられた第一の防振部は、第一の防振部の設けられた側面と垂直な方向に連接する別の側面に設けられた第二の防振部に連接し、その連接部を主面側から見て扇形状としたことにより、防振部のコーナー部が円弧形状となるため、仮に本発明によるディスク型記録担体装置を搭載する電子機器に外部より回転方向の衝撃振動が加わった場合でも、そのコーナー部とそれに当接する固定部との極めて局所的な応力吸収が避けられるので、その際に瞬間的に発生する変位も小さくなり、耐衝撃性や耐振動性の向上を実現できる。 According to the disk type record carrier driving apparatus of the present invention, the first vibration isolation portion provided on any one of the four side surfaces is connected in a direction perpendicular to the side surface on which the first vibration isolation portion is provided. By connecting the second vibration isolating portion provided on another side surface and making the connecting portion a fan shape when viewed from the main surface side, the corner portion of the vibration isolating portion has an arc shape. Even when an external impact vibration is applied to an electronic device equipped with a disc-type record carrier device, the local stress absorption between the corner portion and the fixed portion in contact with the corner portion can be avoided. Displacement that occurs instantaneously becomes small, and it is possible to improve impact resistance and vibration resistance.
 本発明のディスク型記録担体駆動装置によれば、扇形状の連接部を構成する素材の硬度を、少なくとも第一の防振部または第二の防振部を構成する素材の硬度よりも大きくしたことにより、単一の素材で防振部を構成した場合と比較して、より大きな衝撃力を受けたときにも硬度の大きな連接部が有効に作用して衝撃エネルギー吸収時の本体部の変位量を抑制するので、本発明によるディスク型記録担体装置を搭載する電子機器の筐体の内面との間に設ける必要のある隙間をより一層小さくできるので、薄型化が可能となる。 According to the disk type record carrier driving device of the present invention, the hardness of the material constituting the fan-shaped connecting portion is set to be at least larger than the hardness of the material constituting the first vibration isolating portion or the second vibration isolating portion. Therefore, compared to the case where the vibration isolator is made of a single material, the joint part with high hardness works effectively even when receiving a larger impact force, and the displacement of the main body when absorbing impact energy Since the amount is suppressed, the gap that needs to be provided between the inner surface of the casing of the electronic apparatus on which the disc-type record carrier device according to the present invention is mounted can be further reduced, so that the thickness can be reduced.
 本発明のディスク型記録担体駆動装置によれば、防振部は、4側面のいずれかの側面に複数設けられ、その複数の防振部間において本体部を構成する部分品が側面よりも突出したことにより、本発明によるディスク型記録担体装置を搭載する電子機器とフラットケーブルを介して接続するためのインターフェースや本体部に内蔵される格納部にディスク型記録担体を着脱可能にする機構の一部などの本体部を構成する部分品を配置できるので、本発明によるディスク型記録担体装置を搭載する電子機器へ搭載することが容易となる。

 まず、図1に示した本発明の実施の形態1のディスク型記録担体駆動装置11は、ディスク型記録担体として破線で示した直径約32mmの小径の光ディスクDを収容したディスクカートリッジCを矢印方向に挿入して、内蔵する格納部12に格納する前の状態である。
 その全体の構成としては、情報の記録面を有する光ディスクDをその内部に収容したディスクカートリッジCを格納する格納部12と、そのディスクカートリッジCを手前に設けられた開口から着脱可能に格納する機構を有し、格納部12が閉じられた状態では格納部12のほぼ中央に位置しディスクカートリッジC内の光ディスクDを回転駆動するためのスピンドルモータ13fとスピンドルモータ13fを中心とし半径方向に移動しながら非接触にレーザー光を介して光学情報を電気情報に変換する光ピックアップ13gとスピンドルモータ13fの回転駆動の制御や外部との通信を行うハード部(図示せず)などの構成部品を具備する主要部13bとそれら主要な構成部品を上側から上シャーシ13aと下側から下シャーシ13cとで挟むようにして構成された本体部13と、本体部13の側面の所定の位置から突出した平板状の接続部13dの先端部を把持し、その先端面よりも所定の距離だけ突出する防振部14fと、から構成されている。
 ここで、平板状の接続部13dは、本体部13を構成する主要部13bと樹脂成型材料を用いた一体成型によりその側面から突出するように設けられている。
First, the disk-type record carrier driving apparatus 11 according to the first embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 has a disk cartridge C containing a small-diameter optical disk D having a diameter of about 32 mm indicated by a broken line as a disk-type record carrier. This is a state before being inserted into the storage unit 12 and stored in the built-in storage unit 12.
As a whole configuration, a storage unit 12 for storing a disk cartridge C containing therein an optical disk D having an information recording surface, and a mechanism for detachably storing the disk cartridge C from an opening provided in front thereof. When the storage unit 12 is closed, the spindle motor 13f is positioned approximately in the center of the storage unit 12 and rotationally drives the optical disk D in the disk cartridge C. The spindle motor 13f moves in the radial direction around the spindle motor 13f. However, the optical pickup 13g that converts optical information into electrical information through laser light in a non-contact manner and components such as a hardware unit (not shown) that controls the rotational drive of the spindle motor 13f and communicates with the outside are provided. The main part 13b and these main components are divided into an upper chassis 13a from the upper side and a lower chassis 13c from the lower side. A main body portion 13 configured as described above, and a vibration isolating portion 14f that grips the tip end portion of a flat plate-like connecting portion 13d protruding from a predetermined position on the side surface of the main body portion 13 and protrudes a predetermined distance from the tip end surface. , Is composed of.
Here, the flat connecting portion 13d is provided so as to protrude from the side surface by integral molding using the main portion 13b constituting the main body portion 13 and a resin molding material.
 次に、図2(a)に示した本発明の実施の形態1のディスク型記録担体駆動装置11は、図1に図示されたディスクカートリッジCの収容する光ディスクDが回転する時と同じ状態が示されており、格納部12は閉じられ光ディスクDの情報の記録面からその情報を再生したりまたはその記録面に情報を新たに記録したりすることのできる閉状態である。
 この図からも明らかなように、ディスク型記録担体駆動装置11は、パーソナルメディアプレーヤ、モバイルインターネットデバイス、携帯電話、携帯型のテレビ電話端末、PDA、超小型PCなどのモバイル系または車載用ナビゲータシステムなどの移動通信系を含めた薄型の電子機器への搭載を容易とするため、本装置の本体部13は全6面を有する扁平な略直方体形状である。
Next, the disc type record carrier driving apparatus 11 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention shown in FIG. 2A is in the same state as when the optical disc D accommodated in the disc cartridge C shown in FIG. 1 rotates. The storage unit 12 is closed and is in a closed state in which the information can be reproduced from the information recording surface of the optical disc D or information can be newly recorded on the recording surface.
As is apparent from this figure, the disk type record carrier driving device 11 is a mobile system such as a personal media player, a mobile Internet device, a mobile phone, a portable videophone terminal, a PDA, a micro PC, or an in-vehicle navigator system. In order to facilitate mounting on thin electronic devices including mobile communication systems such as the above, the main body 13 of the present device has a flat, substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape having all six surfaces.
 ここで、光ディスクDを収容したディスクカートリッジCが格納部12に格納され、所定の位置にセットされた後の光ディスクDの回転時には、上シャーシ13aの上面と下シャーシ13cの下面は、その略直方体形状の本体部13において光ディスクDの記録面と平行な方向に位置する一対の主面Saを構成している。
 また、その一対の主面Saを構成する上シャーシ13aの上面と下シャーシ13cの下面に対して垂直な方向に連接され相互に平行な位置関係にある格納部12の開口側(本図で右手前側)の面とその反対側に位置する背面側の面は一対の主側面Sbを構成し、主面Saおよび主側面Sbに対して垂直な方向に連接され相互に平行な位置関係にある係止部13eが係止する側の面とその反対側に位置する面は一対の副側面Scを構成している。
Here, when the optical disk D is rotated after the disk cartridge C containing the optical disk D is stored in the storage unit 12 and set in a predetermined position, the upper surface of the upper chassis 13a and the lower surface of the lower chassis 13c are substantially rectangular parallelepiped. A pair of main surfaces Sa positioned in a direction parallel to the recording surface of the optical disc D is formed in the main body 13 having a shape.
In addition, the opening side of the storage portion 12 connected in a direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the upper chassis 13a and the lower surface of the lower chassis 13c constituting the pair of main surfaces Sa (in the figure, the right hand side). The front side surface and the back side surface located on the opposite side constitute a pair of main side surfaces Sb, which are connected in a direction perpendicular to the main surface Sa and the main side surface Sb and in parallel with each other. The surface on the side where the stopper 13e is locked and the surface located on the opposite side constitute a pair of sub-side surfaces Sc.
 ここで、下方に図示した互いに直交するX軸、Y軸、Z軸で定められるXYZ座標系において、XY平面、YZ平面およびZX平面は、互いに直交する位置関係にあるが、主面SaがXY平面上にあるとすると、主側面SbはYZ平面上に、副側面ScはZX平面上に位置するような関係にある。
 したがって、格納部12に格納された光ディスクDの回転時においてその記録面と平行な方向に位置する一対の主面Saと、一対の主面Saに対して垂直な方向に連接され相互に平行な位置関係にある一対の主側面Sbと、一対の主面Saおよび一対の主側面Sbに対して垂直な方向に連接され相互に平行な位置関係にある一対の副側面Scと、によって全体として扁平な略直方体形状の本体部13の全6面を形成している。
Here, in the XYZ coordinate system defined by the X axis, the Y axis, and the Z axis orthogonal to each other shown below, the XY plane, the YZ plane, and the ZX plane are in a positional relationship orthogonal to each other, but the main surface Sa is XY. If it is on a plane, the main side Sb is on the YZ plane and the sub-side Sc is on the ZX plane.
Therefore, when the optical disk D stored in the storage unit 12 is rotated, the pair of main surfaces Sa positioned in a direction parallel to the recording surface and the pair of main surfaces Sa connected in a direction perpendicular to the pair of main surfaces Sa are parallel to each other. The pair of main side surfaces Sb in a positional relationship and the pair of sub side surfaces Sc connected in a direction perpendicular to the pair of main surfaces Sa and the pair of main side surfaces Sb and parallel to each other are flattened as a whole. All six surfaces of the main body 13 having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape are formed.
 すなわち、主面Sa、主側面Sbおよび副側面Scは、それぞれの面が相互に直交する方向に広がり、全体として扁平な略直方体形状を形成していて、光ディスクDの回転時においてその記録面と平行な方向に位置する主面Saは、その主面Saに対して垂直な方向に連接された他の主側面Sbや副側面Scよりも表面積が大きくなっている。
 そして、本図からも明らかなように、手前側の主側面Sbと副側面Scには主面Sa側から見て略L字形状の防振部14fと背面側の主側面Sbには主面Sa側から見て略I字形状の防振部14rが、それぞれの側面から突出した接続部13dの先端を覆うように設けられている。
 つまり、一対の主側面Sbおよび一対の副側面Scの4側面全てにおいて、それらから突出した接続部13dの先端部を防振部14fまたは防振部14rが把持し、その先端面は接続部13dの先端面よりも所定の距離(図4(a)のTfまたはTr)だけ突出している。
That is, the main surface Sa, the main side surface Sb, and the sub-side surface Sc are spread in directions orthogonal to each other and form a flat and substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape as a whole. The main surface Sa positioned in the parallel direction has a larger surface area than other main side surfaces Sb and sub-side surfaces Sc connected in a direction perpendicular to the main surface Sa.
As is clear from this figure, the main side Sb and the sub-side surface Sc on the near side are substantially L-shaped vibration-proof portions 14f when viewed from the main surface Sa side, and the main side Sb on the back side is the main surface. A substantially I-shaped vibration isolating portion 14r as viewed from the Sa side is provided so as to cover the tip of the connecting portion 13d protruding from each side surface.

The second anti-vibration part 14f2 provided is connected via a connecting part 14f3, and the connecting part 14f3 is formed in a fan shape when viewed from the main surface Sa side as shown in the figure.
 つまり、第一の防振部14f1と第二の防振部14f2とそれらを連接する連接部14f3とによって防振部14fが構成されていて、防振部14fの全体としては主面Sa側から見て略L字形状に形成されている。
 一方、本図で主面Saの上方に位置するそれぞれのコーナー部においては、主側面Sbの両側のみに防振部14rが設けられて、主面Sa側から見て略I字形状となっている。

Next, it will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 4A. As is clear from this sectional view, the connecting portion 13d is integrated with the constituent members of the main portion 13b (see FIG. 1) constituting the main body portion 13. The anti-vibration part 14f provided so as to cover and hold the tip of the connecting part 13d protruding from the left main side Sb protrudes from the main side Sb by a distance Bf. ing.
Further, in the direction perpendicular to the pair of main surfaces Sa that are in parallel with each other, the height Hf is smaller than the distance Hd between the main surfaces Sa, and the height Hf of the vibration isolator 14f is connected.

 加えて、防振部14fの高さHfは接続部13dの高さHsよりも大きく、さらに接続部13dの先端面よりも距離Trだけ突出している。
 そして、本図において防振部14fの上下面と防振部14rの上下面はいずれも主面Saと平行な面を形成しているが、それらの下面は一対の主面Saと垂直な方向において主面Saよりも距離Htだけ突出している。
In addition, the height Hf of the vibration isolating portion 14f is larger than the height Hs of the connecting portion 13d, and further protrudes by a distance Tr from the tip surface of the connecting portion 13d.
In this figure, the upper and lower surfaces of the vibration isolator 14f and the upper and lower surfaces of the anti-vibration unit 14r form a plane parallel to the main surface Sa, but the lower surfaces are perpendicular to the pair of main surfaces Sa. Projecting from the main surface Sa by a distance Ht.
 また、図4(b)でも明らかなように、本図で左側の副側面Scから突出した接続部13dの先端面を覆い、その先端部を把持するように設けられた防振部14fは、副側面Scから距離Bfだけ突出し、相互に平行な位置関係にある一対の主面Saに垂直な方向において主面Sa間の間隔Hdよりも小さな高さHfを有し、かつ、防振部14fの高さHfは接続部13dの高さHsよりも大きく、さらに接続部13dの先端面よりも距離Tfだけ突出している。
 同様に、本図で右側の副側面Scから突出した接続部13dの先端面を覆い、その先端部を把持するように設けられた防振部14fは、副側面Scから距離Bfだけ突出し、相互に平行な位置関係にある一対の主面Saに垂直な方向において主面Sa間の間隔Hdよりも小さな高さHfを有している。
Further, as is clear from FIG. 4B, the vibration isolator 14f provided so as to cover the tip of the connecting portion 13d projecting from the left sub-side surface Sc in FIG. The height Hf is smaller than the distance Hd between the main surfaces Sa in a direction perpendicular to the pair of main surfaces Sa that protrudes from the sub-side surface Sc by a distance Bf and is parallel to each other, and the vibration isolator 14f The height Hf is greater than the height Hs of the connecting portion 13d, and further protrudes from the tip surface of the connecting portion 13d by a distance Tf.
Similarly, the anti-vibration part 14f provided so as to cover and hold the tip of the connecting portion 13d protruding from the right sub-side surface Sc in this figure protrudes from the sub-side surface Sc by a distance Bf, and The height Hf is smaller than the distance Hd between the main surfaces Sa in a direction perpendicular to the pair of main surfaces Sa in a positional relationship parallel to each other.
 加えて、防振部14fの高さは接続部13dの高さHsよりも大きく、さらに接続部13dの先端面よりも距離Tfだけ突出している。
 そして、本図において両側の防振部14fの上下面はいずれも主面Saと平行な面を形成しているが、それらの下面は一対の主面Saと垂直な方向において主面Saよりも距離Htだけ突出している。
 また、本図においても、前述したように格納部12のほぼ中央には光ディスクDを回転駆動するためのスピンドルモータ13fと、スピンドルモータ13fを中心とし半径方向に移動しながら非接触にレーザー光を介して光学情報を電気情報に変換する光ピックアップ13gの一部が図示している。

In this figure, the upper and lower surfaces of the anti-vibration portions 14f on both sides form a surface parallel to the main surface Sa. However, these lower surfaces are lower than the main surface Sa in a direction perpendicular to the pair of main surfaces Sa. It protrudes by a distance Ht.
Also in this figure, as described above, the spindle motor 13f for rotationally driving the optical disk D and a laser beam in a non-contact manner while moving in the radial direction around the spindle motor 13f are provided at the approximate center of the storage portion 12. A part of an optical pickup 13g for converting optical information into electrical information is illustrated.
 以上のような構成により、主面Sa方向、主側面Sb方向および副側面Sc方向の全6方向のいずれの方向においても本発明によるディスク型記録担体装置11を搭載する電子機器の固定部と本装置の防振部14fや防振部14rとの当接面積である衝撃吸収面積が増大し、かつ、防振部14fおよび防振部14rのそれぞれの表面全体に均一的に当接するので、耐衝撃性や耐振動性の向上を実現できる。
 また、本体部13の高さ(距離Hdに相当)に、防振部14fの高さHfまたは防振部14rの高さHrが加わり本装置全体の高さが大きくなることがないので薄型化が容易となっている。
 加えて、主面Saよりも下がった防振部14fおよび防振部14rの上下面や側面にディスク型記録担体装置11を搭載する電子機器の備える固定部または内側の実装面などを当接させることにより、その電子機器の薄型化も容易とし、両者を固定するためにネジを用いることも不要となるので、局所的な固定応力が作用することなく、両者の当接面全体においてより均一な固定応力が得られる。
With the configuration as described above, the fixed portion and the book of the electronic device on which the disc type record carrier device 11 according to the present invention is mounted in any of the six directions including the main surface Sa direction, the main side surface Sb direction, and the sub-side surface Sc direction. Since the shock absorption area, which is the contact area with the vibration isolator 14f and the vibration isolator 14r of the apparatus, is increased and the entire surface of each of the vibration isolator 14f and the vibration isolator 14r is uniformly abutted, Improve impact and vibration resistance.
Further, the height of the main body 13 (corresponding to the distance Hd) is added to the height Hf of the vibration isolator 14f or the height Hr of the vibration isolator 14r, so that the overall height of the apparatus does not increase, so that the thickness is reduced. Is easy.
In addition, a fixed portion or an inner mounting surface of an electronic device in which the disc type record carrier device 11 is mounted is brought into contact with the upper, lower, and side surfaces of the vibration isolator 14f and the vibration isolator 14r that are lower than the main surface Sa. This makes it easy to reduce the thickness of the electronic device and eliminates the need to use a screw to fix the both, so that a local fixing stress does not act on the entire contact surface of the two. Fixed stress is obtained.
 また、防振部14fおよび防振部14rは、本体部13の主側面Sbや副側面Scから突出した接続部13dの先端部を把持し、防振部14fおよび防振部14rの先端面は接続部13dの先端面よりも所定の距離だけ突出し、かつ、防振部14fおよび防振部14rの高さは、接続部13dの高さよりも大きい構成となっている。
 本構成によって、本発明によるディスク型記録担体装置11を搭載する電子機器(例えば、実施の形態2を参照)の外部より大きな振動や落下の衝撃振動が加わった場合でもその電子機器の備える固定部や内側の実装面が直接的に接続部13dや本体部13に接触することがなく、その衝撃振動エネルギーが電子機器と接続部13dとの間に介在する防振部14fおよび防振部14rによって十分に吸収されるので、耐衝撃性や耐振動性の向上を実現できる。
The anti-vibration part 14f and the anti-vibration part 14r hold the tip of the connecting part 13d protruding from the main side Sb and the sub-side face Sc of the main body 13, and the anti-vibration part 14f and the anti-vibration part 14r It protrudes by a predetermined distance from the tip surface of the connecting portion 13d, and the height of the vibration isolating portion 14f and the vibration isolating portion 14r is larger than the height of the connecting portion 13d.
With this configuration, even when a large vibration from outside or an impact vibration of dropping is applied to an electronic device (for example, see Embodiment 2) on which the disc-type record carrier device 11 according to the present invention is mounted, the fixing unit included in the electronic device The inner mounting surface does not directly contact the connection part 13d or the main body part 13, and the vibration vibration energy is interposed between the electronic device and the connection part 13d by the vibration isolation part 14f and the vibration isolation part 14r. Since it is sufficiently absorbed, it is possible to improve impact resistance and vibration resistance.
 また、防振部14fおよび防振部14rの一対の主面Saと平行な面のうちいずれか一方の面のみは、一対の主面Saと垂直な方向において主面Saよりも所定の距離だけ突出したこと構成となっている。
 本構成により、その突出した方向において本発明によるディスク型記録担体装置11を搭載する電子機器の筐体の内側の実装面との間に所定の距離の隙間が生じ、電子機器の受けた衝撃振動が直接本体部13に緩衝することがなくなるので、耐衝撃性や耐振動性の向上を実現できる。
 また、主側面Sbに設けられた第一の防振部14f1は、その主側面Sbと垂直な方向に連接する別の副側面Scに設けられた第二の防振部14f2に連接し、その連接部14f3を主面Sa側から見て扇形状としたことにより、防振部14fのコーナー部が円弧形状となるため、仮に本発明によるディスク型記録担体装置11を搭載する電子機器に外部より回転方向の衝撃振動が加わった場合でも、そのコーナー部とそれに当接する固定部との極めて局所的な応力吸収が避けられるので、その際に瞬間的に発生する変位も小さくなり、結果として耐衝撃性や耐振動性の向上を実現できる。
Further, only one of the pair of main surfaces Sa parallel to the pair of main surfaces Sa of the anti-vibration unit 14f and the anti-vibration unit 14r is a predetermined distance from the main surface Sa in a direction perpendicular to the pair of main surfaces Sa. It has a configuration that protrudes.
With this configuration, a gap of a predetermined distance is generated between the mounting surface on the inner side of the casing of the electronic device on which the disc type record carrier device 11 according to the present invention is mounted in the protruding direction, and the impact vibration received by the electronic device. Is not directly buffered in the main body 13, so that it is possible to improve the impact resistance and vibration resistance.
The first vibration isolating portion 14f1 provided on the main side surface Sb is connected to a second vibration isolating portion 14f2 provided on another sub-side surface Sc connected in a direction perpendicular to the main side surface Sb. Since the connecting portion 14f3 has a fan shape when viewed from the main surface Sa side, the corner portion of the vibration isolating portion 14f has an arc shape, so that the electronic device in which the disc type record carrier device 11 according to the present invention is mounted is externally provided. Even when impact vibration in the rotational direction is applied, extremely local stress absorption between the corner portion and the fixed portion that abuts on the corner portion is avoided, so that the momentary displacement that occurs is also reduced, resulting in impact resistance. Improvement in vibration and vibration resistance.
 また、防振部14rは、背面側の主側面Sbに複数(2個)設けられ、その複数の防振部14r間において本体部13の一部を構成するインターフェース13hなどの部分品が主側面Sbよりも突出した構成となっている。
 本構成により、本発明によるディスク型記録担体装置11を搭載する電子機器とフラットケーブルを介して接続することが容易となるので、その電子機器へ搭載することが容易となる。
 また、本体部13に内蔵される格納部12に光ディスクDを着脱可能にする機構の一部または上シャーシ13aの開放レバーや格納部開閉検出センサなどの本体部13を構成する部分品を同様に配置すれば、より薄型化が可能となる。
Also, a plurality (two) of the vibration isolator 14r are provided on the main surface Sb on the back side, and a partial product such as an interface 13h constituting a part of the main body 13 between the plurality of vibration isolator 14r is the main side. It is the structure which protruded rather than Sb.
With this configuration, since it becomes easy to connect to an electronic device on which the disc-type record carrier device 11 according to the present invention is mounted via a flat cable, it is easy to mount on the electronic device.
Similarly, a part of the mechanism that enables the optical disk D to be attached to and detached from the storage unit 12 incorporated in the main body unit 13 or a part that constitutes the main body unit 13 such as an open lever of the upper chassis 13a or a storage unit open / close detection sensor is similarly used. If arranged, the thickness can be further reduced.
 なお、以上説明した防振部14fの高さHf、防振部14rの高さHr、防振部14fが接続部13dの先端面から突出する距離Tf、防振部14rが接続部13dの先端面から突出する距離Tr、防振部14f、14rが主面Saから突出する距離Htなどは、本発明によるディスク型記録担体駆動装置11の重量、防振部14fおよび防振部14rの素材、電子機器の内部に設けられた固定部や内側の実装面と防振部14fまたは防振部14rとの間の衝撃吸収面積(接触面積)、さらには、必要とされる耐衝撃性や耐振動性の水準などによって適宜設定すればよい。 The height Hf of the vibration isolator 14f described above, the height Hr of the vibration isolator 14r, the distance Tf at which the anti-vibration portion 14f protrudes from the distal end surface of the connection portion 13d, and the vibration isolator 14r is the distal end of the connection portion 13d. The distance Tr protruding from the surface, the distance Ht from which the vibration isolating portions 14f and 14r protrude from the main surface Sa, the weight of the disc type record carrier driving device 11 according to the present invention, the material of the vibration isolating portion 14f and the vibration isolating portion 14r, Shock absorption area (contact area) between a fixed part or an inner mounting surface provided inside the electronic device and the vibration isolating part 14f or the vibration isolating part 14r, and further required impact resistance and vibration resistance. What is necessary is just to set suitably according to the level of sex.
 なお、本実施の形態1の場合においては、ディスク型記録担体装置11の本体部13の全重量を約25g、本体部13の外形寸法として主側面Sbの幅を約44mm、副側面Scの幅を約43mm、高さ(距離Hdに相当)を約9.5mmと設定し、防振部14fおよび防振部14rの素材としてエラストマーを選択した場合であれば、防振部14fの主側面Sbまたは副側面Scから突出する距離Bfを2.0~5.0mm、防振部14fの高さHfを1.0~3.5mm、防振部14fが接続部13dの先端面から突出する距離Tfを0.5~3.0mmとし、防振部14rの主側面Sbから突出する距離Brを4.0~7.0mm、防振部14rの高さHrを1.0~3.0mm、防振部14rが接続部13dの先端面から突出する距離Trを0.5~3.0mm、防振部14f、14rが主面Saから突出する距離Htを0.5~2.0mmで設定するのがより好ましい。 In the case of the first embodiment, the total weight of the main body 13 of the disc-type record carrier device 11 is about 25 g, the outer dimensions of the main body 13 are about 44 mm in the width of the main side Sb, and the width of the sub-side surface Sc. Is set to about 43 mm, the height (corresponding to the distance Hd) is set to about 9.5 mm, and the elastomer is selected as the material of the vibration isolator 14f and the vibration isolator 14r. Alternatively, the distance Bf protruding from the sub-side surface Sc is 2.0 to 5.0 mm, the height Hf of the vibration isolation portion 14f is 1.0 to 3.5 mm, and the distance that the vibration isolation portion 14f protrudes from the tip surface of the connection portion 13d. Tf is 0.5 to 3.0 mm, the distance Br protruding from the main side surface Sb of the vibration isolator 14r is 4.0 to 7.0 mm, the height Hr of the vibration isolator 14r is 1.0 to 3.0 mm, The anti-vibration part 14r protrudes from the front end surface of the connection part 13d. The release Tr 0.5 ~ 3.0 mm, vibration isolating unit 14f, 14r is be more preferably 0.5 ~ 2.0 mm the distance Ht projecting from the main surface Sa.
 また、防振部14fや防振部14rの素材としては、衝撃吸収機能が高く小さな弾性率を有するゴム状の弾性体がより好ましいが、特に高分子材料で弾性率が0.23MPa~3.4MPaの範囲にあるエラストマーが物性的に射出成型や分断成型にも好適で形状の自由度が高い。
 また、他にプラスティックフォーム(例えば、ポリウレタンフォーム、エポキシ樹脂フォーム、シリコンフォームなど)や皮、繊維などでもよい。
Further, as the material of the vibration isolator 14f and the vibration isolator 14r, a rubber-like elastic body having a high impact absorbing function and a small elastic modulus is more preferable. Particularly, the elastic modulus is 0.23 MPa to 3. An elastomer in the range of 4 MPa is physically suitable for injection molding and parting molding and has a high degree of freedom in shape.
In addition, plastic foam (for example, polyurethane foam, epoxy resin foam, silicon foam, etc.), leather, fiber, etc. may be used.
 また、防振部14fや防振部14rを、異なる素材、例えば樹脂とシリコーンゴムを同一金型で成形し一体化する2色成型などの方法を用いて、電子機器の固定部や内部の実装面などと当接する方向に応じて異なる弾性率や異なる硬度を有する素材を混合させて成型してもよい。
 例えば、防振部14fを素材としてエラストマーを用いて2色成型する場合には、その扇形状の連接部14f3を構成する素材のデュロ硬度Aを約30前後に設定し、第一の防振部14f1および第二の防振部14f2を構成する素材のデュロ硬度Aを約20に設定するのが好ましく、デュロ硬度Aを約20に設定した単一素材でそれらを構成した場合と比較して、より大きな衝撃力を受けたときにも硬度の大きな連接部14f3が有効に作用して衝撃エネルギー吸収時の本体部13の変位量を2%~19%抑制するので、本発明によるディスク型記録担体装置11を搭載する電子機器の筐体の内面との間に設ける必要のある隙間をより一層小さくできるので、薄型化が可能となる。
Further, the anti-vibration part 14f and the anti-vibration part 14r are mounted on the fixing part and the internal part of the electronic device using a method such as two-color molding in which different materials, for example, resin and silicone rubber are molded in the same mold and integrated. Materials having different elastic moduli and different hardnesses may be mixed and molded depending on the direction in contact with the surface or the like.
For example, when two-color molding is performed using an elastomer as the vibration isolating portion 14f, the duro hardness A of the material constituting the fan-shaped connecting portion 14f3 is set to about 30 and the first vibration isolating portion It is preferable to set the durometer A of the material constituting the 14f1 and the second vibration isolator 14f2 to about 20, compared to the case where they are configured with a single material having the durometer A set to about 20, Even when a larger impact force is applied, the connecting portion 14f3 having a higher hardness effectively acts to suppress the displacement of the main body 13 when absorbing the impact energy by 2% to 19%. Since the gap that needs to be provided between the inner surface of the casing of the electronic device on which the device 11 is mounted can be further reduced, the thickness can be reduced.
 さらに、防振部14fや防振部14rを接続部13dに取り付ける方法としては、前述した材料によりあらかじめ外形寸法や所定の凹部を有するように単体で成型したものを単に接続部13dに被せるような方法でもよいし、防振部14fや防振部14rと接続部13dを構成する部材とを異材質成型、インモールド成型またはインサート成型などによって一体成型する方法でもよい。
 なお、前述した防振部14fや防振部14rは、主側面Sbまたは副側面Scから突出するように設けられていればよく、必ずしもその付け根部分が主側面Saまたは副側面Scと直接に接触させる必要はない。
 したがって、振動や衝撃のない静的な状態においては防振部14fと主側面Sbまたは副側面Scとの間、防振部14rと主側面Sbとの間に、例えば本実施の形態1の場合であれば、あらかじめ約0.5mm前後(最大で約1.0mm程度)の隙間を設けることは、むしろ衝撃吸収性が良化するので構わない。
Further, as a method of attaching the vibration isolator 14f and the vibration isolator 14r to the connecting portion 13d, the connecting portion 13d is simply covered with the above-mentioned material that is molded in advance so as to have an external dimension or a predetermined concave portion. A method may be used, or a method of integrally forming the anti-vibration part 14f or the anti-vibration part 14r and the member constituting the connection part 13d by different material molding, in-mold molding, insert molding, or the like.
It should be noted that the above-described anti-vibration part 14f and anti-vibration part 14r may be provided so as to protrude from the main side surface Sb or the sub-side surface Sc, and the base portion thereof is not necessarily in direct contact with the main side surface Sa or the sub-side surface Sc. There is no need to let them.
Therefore, in a static state free from vibration and impact, for example, in the case of the first embodiment, between the vibration isolator 14f and the main side surface Sb or the sub-surface Sc, and between the vibration isolator 14r and the main side surface Sb. If so, providing a gap of about 0.5 mm in advance (about 1.0 mm at the maximum) may improve the shock absorption rather.
 また、ディスク型記録担体である光ディスクDの品質安定性を容易に確保するため、開閉可能な格納部12は、光ディスクDを収容したディスクカートリッジCの形態で格納可能な形態を用いて説明したが、本発明はそれに限定するものでなく、他に光ディスクDの単体が格納可能な形態の格納部であってもよいし、ディスクカートリッジCであっても格納できるトレー型やスロット型の形態の格納部でもよい。
 また、本体部13としても一方に開口を設けた格納部12が開閉可能な形態ではない、例えば磁気ディスクや光磁気ディスクを内蔵した密閉型のハードディスク装置などの本体部としても適用できるものである。
Further, in order to easily ensure the quality stability of the optical disc D which is a disc-type record carrier, the storage unit 12 which can be opened and closed has been described using a form that can be stored in the form of a disc cartridge C containing the optical disc D. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be a storage unit that can store a single optical disk D, or a tray type or slot type storage that can store even a disk cartridge C. Department may be sufficient.
Further, the main body 13 is not a form in which the storage part 12 provided with an opening on one side can be opened and closed. For example, the main body 13 can also be applied as a main part of a sealed hard disk device incorporating a magnetic disk or a magneto-optical disk. .
 次に、本実施の形態1における防振部の設け方の変形例を図5(a)~(d)を用いて説明する。
 まず、図5(a)で示した変形例においては、接続部23dは、本体部23を構成する部材と一体に成型されていて、主側面Sbから突出している。
 ここで、接続部23dの先端面を覆い、その先端部を把持するように設けられた防振部24は、相互に平行な位置関係にある一対の主面Saに垂直な方向において主面Sa間の間隔Hdよりも小さな高さHfを有し、かつ、防振部24の高さHfは接続部23dの高さHsよりも大きく、さらに接続部23dの先端面よりも距離Tfだけ突出している。
Next, a modified example of how to provide the vibration isolator in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
First, in the modification shown in FIG. 5A, the connection portion 23d is formed integrally with a member constituting the main body portion 23 and protrudes from the main side surface Sb.
Here, the vibration isolator 24 provided so as to cover and grip the distal end surface of the connecting portion 23d is the main surface Sa in a direction perpendicular to the pair of main surfaces Sa that are parallel to each other. The height Hf of the vibration isolator 24 is larger than the height Hs of the connecting portion 23d, and further protrudes by a distance Tf from the tip surface of the connecting portion 23d. Yes.
 このような変形例では、防振部24において、一対の主面Saと平行な面のうちいずれか一方の面は、一対の主面Saと垂直な方向において主面Saよりも所定の距離だけ突出したという構成を有していない。
 したがって、このような構成のディスク型記録担体装置を搭載する電子機器の筐体の内面との間に所定の距離の隙間を確保し、電子機器の受けた衝撃振動が直接本体部に緩衝することをなくすためには、電子機器の固定部をその筐体の内面から適宜変更することが必要となるが、前述したような耐衝撃性や耐振動性の向上を実現できる。
In such a modification, in the vibration isolator 24, one of the surfaces parallel to the pair of main surfaces Sa is a predetermined distance from the main surface Sa in a direction perpendicular to the pair of main surfaces Sa. It does not have a configuration of protruding.
Therefore, a gap of a predetermined distance is secured between the inner surface of the casing of the electronic device on which the disc type record carrier device having such a configuration is mounted, and shock vibration received by the electronic device is directly buffered in the main body. In order to eliminate the problem, it is necessary to appropriately change the fixing portion of the electronic device from the inner surface of the casing. However, it is possible to realize the improvement in impact resistance and vibration resistance as described above.
 次に、図5(b)で示した変形例においては、接続部33dは、本体部33を構成する部材と別体で成型され、さらに本体部33によって挟装された状態で主側面Sbから突出している。
 ここで、接続部33dの先端面を覆い、その先端部を把持するように設けられた防振部34は、相互に平行な位置関係にある一対の主面Saに垂直な方向において主面Sa間の間隔Hdよりも小さな高さHfを有し、かつ、防振部34の高さHfは接続部33dの高さHsよりも大きく、さらに接続部33dの先端面よりも距離Tfだけ突出している。
 このような変形例では、本体部33を構成する部材と接続部33dとは、別体で構成されているので、構成が複雑になるものの、異材質成型、インモールド成型またはインサート成型などにより接続部33dの素材として樹脂材料による本体部33の素材と異なる素材、例えばより薄い加工が可能な金属材料や樹脂材料よりも弾性率の小さな材料を選択することも可能となる。
 また、接続部33dと本体部33とを一体成型をするのでなく、接続部33dと防振部34を一体成型してもよいし、本体部33と接続部33dと防振部34の全てを一体成型してもよい。
Next, in the modification shown in FIG. 5 (b), the connection portion 33 d is molded separately from the members constituting the main body portion 33 and is further sandwiched by the main body portion 33 from the main side surface Sb. It protrudes.
Here, the vibration isolator 34 provided so as to cover and grip the distal end surface of the connecting portion 33d is the principal surface Sa in a direction perpendicular to the pair of principal surfaces Sa that are in a mutually parallel positional relationship. The height Hf of the vibration isolating portion 34 is larger than the height Hs of the connection portion 33d, and further protrudes by a distance Tf from the tip surface of the connection portion 33d. Yes.
In such a modification, the member constituting the main body 33 and the connecting portion 33d are configured separately, so that the configuration is complicated, but the connection is made by different material molding, in-mold molding, insert molding, or the like. It is also possible to select a material different from the material of the main body 33 made of a resin material, for example, a metal material that can be processed thinner or a material having a smaller elastic modulus than the resin material as the material of the portion 33d.
Further, instead of integrally forming the connecting portion 33d and the main body portion 33, the connecting portion 33d and the vibration isolating portion 34 may be integrally formed, or all of the main body portion 33, the connecting portion 33d and the vibration isolating portion 34 may be formed. It may be integrally molded.
 次に、図5(c)で示した変形例においては、インターフェース45が本体部43によって挟装された状態で固定され、その一方端が電子機器側と破線で示したフラットケーブル46に接続されている。
 主側面Sb側に設けられた防振部44は、そのインターフェース45を上下から挟み込むように設けられ、相互に平行な位置関係にある一対の主面Saに垂直な方向において主面Sa間の間隔Hdよりも小さな高さHfを有している。
 このような変形例では、電子機器側とフラットケーブル46を介して接続するためのインターフェースを配置できるので、本発明によるディスク型記録担体装置を搭載する電子機器へ搭載することが容易となる。
Next, in the modification shown in FIG. 5C, the interface 45 is fixed in a state of being sandwiched by the main body 43, and one end of the interface 45 is connected to the electronic device side and the flat cable 46 indicated by a broken line. ing.
The vibration isolator 44 provided on the main surface Sb side is provided so as to sandwich the interface 45 from above and below, and the distance between the main surfaces Sa in a direction perpendicular to the pair of main surfaces Sa that are parallel to each other. The height Hf is smaller than Hd.
In such a modification, since an interface for connecting to the electronic device side via the flat cable 46 can be arranged, it is easy to mount the electronic device on which the disc type record carrier device according to the present invention is mounted.
 そして、図5(d)で示した変形例においては、防振部54は本体部53によって挟装された状態で副側面Sb側に固定され、相互に平行な位置関係にある一対の主面Saに垂直な方向において主面Sa間の間隔Hdよりも小さな高さHfを有している。
 このような変形例では、前述したような接続部を介して防振部54を取り付ける必要はないので、構造をより簡素化できる。
And in the modification shown in FIG.5 (d), the vibration isolator 54 is fixed by the side surface Sb side in the state pinched | interposed by the main-body part 53, and a pair of main surface which has a mutually parallel positional relationship. The height Hf is smaller than the distance Hd between the main surfaces Sa in the direction perpendicular to Sa.
In such a modification, since it is not necessary to attach the vibration isolator 54 via the connection part as described above, the structure can be further simplified.
 次に、本実施の形態1における防振部の配置の仕方の変形例を、図6(a)~(c)を用いて説明する。
 図6(a)は、ディスク型記録担体駆動装置61の一対の主側面Sbおよび一対の副側面Scの4側面の全てにおいて、その中央部に主面Sa側から見て略I型形状の防振部62を設けた場合で、図6(b)は、ディスク型記録担体駆動装置71の一対の主側面Sbおよび一対の副側面Scの4側面の全てにおいて主面Saの四隅に近い部分に主面側から見て略L字形状の防振部72を設けた場合で、図6(c)は、ディスク型記録担体駆動装置81の一対の主側面Sbおよび一対の副側面Scの4側面の全てにおいて連接した形態であって、主面Sa側から見て主側面Sbおよび副側面Scの全周囲にわたって枠体のように取り囲むように防振部82を設けた場合である。
Next, a modification of the arrangement method of the vibration isolator in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 (a) to 6 (c).
FIG. 6A shows a substantially I-shaped prevention at the center of all four side surfaces of the pair of main side surfaces Sb and the pair of sub-side surfaces Sc of the disc-type record carrier driving device 61 as viewed from the main surface Sa side. FIG. 6B shows a case where the vibration part 62 is provided, and FIG. 6B shows a portion close to the four corners of the main surface Sa in all four side surfaces of the pair of main side surfaces Sb and the pair of sub-side surfaces Sc of the disk type record carrier driving device 71. FIG. 6C shows a case where a substantially L-shaped vibration isolator 72 is provided when viewed from the main surface side, and FIG. 6C shows four side surfaces of the pair of main side surfaces Sb and the pair of sub-side surfaces Sc of the disk-type record carrier driving device 81. In this case, the vibration isolator 82 is provided so as to surround the entire circumference of the main side surface Sb and the sub-side surface Sc as seen from the main surface Sa side.
 以上のように、本体部の対する防振部の位置関係は、本実施の形態やその変形例のみに限定されるものではなく、また上下または左右での対称性を必要とするものでなく、本装置を搭載する電子機器の固定部や内部の実装面との位置関係や要求される耐衝撃性や耐振動性などを考慮して適宜設定すればよい。 As described above, the positional relationship of the vibration isolator with respect to the main body is not limited only to the present embodiment and its modified examples, and does not require symmetry in the vertical and horizontal directions, What is necessary is just to set suitably in consideration of the positional relationship with the fixing | fixed part of an electronic device which mounts this apparatus, or an internal mounting surface, the required impact resistance, vibration resistance, etc.

 ここでは、実施の形態1で説明したディスク型記録担体駆動装置11に関する符号は同一の符号を用い、前述した内容と重複した説明は省略する。
(Embodiment 2)
FIG. 7 is an exploded view of the electronic device according to the second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 8A is a cross-sectional view taken along the CC line after the electronic device shown in FIG. 7 is assembled. FIG. 7B is a cross-sectional view taken along the arrow DD after the electronic apparatus shown in FIG. 7 is assembled.
Here, the same reference numerals are used for the disc-type record carrier driving apparatus 11 described in the first embodiment, and the description overlapping the above description is omitted.
 まず、図7で示したように、ディスク型記録担体駆動装置11は、それぞれの側面から突出する防振部14fまたは防振部14rを備えているが、例えば携帯型のテレビ電話端末のような電子機器100(図8(a)、(b)参照)の下ケース201の内底面201aと内壁面201bとに囲まれた矩形の実装空間に装着された後、液晶ディスプレイ102や押しボタンスイッチ103を備え、その下部には固定部101aと固定部101b(図8(a)、(b)参照)を設けた上ケース101が重ね合わされる。
 その結果、図8(a)または図8(b)に示したように、ディスク型記録担体駆動装置11に設けられた防振部14fおよび防振部14rの下面には主面Saと垂直な方向である下方向から下ケース201の内底面201a(図7参照)が、防振部14fおよび防振部14rの上面には主面Saと垂直な方向である上方向からは上ケース101の固定部101aと固定部101bがそれぞれ破線の矢印で示した方向で当接している。
First, as shown in FIG. 7, the disk-type record carrier driving device 11 includes an anti-vibration unit 14f or an anti-vibration unit 14r protruding from each side surface. After the electronic device 100 (see FIGS. 8A and 8B) is mounted in a rectangular mounting space surrounded by the inner bottom surface 201a and the inner wall surface 201b of the lower case 201, the liquid crystal display 102 and the push button switch 103 are mounted. The upper case 101 provided with a fixing portion 101a and a fixing portion 101b (see FIGS. 8A and 8B) is superimposed on the lower portion.
As a result, as shown in FIG. 8A or FIG. 8B, the lower surface of the vibration isolator 14f and the vibration isolator 14r provided in the disc type record carrier driving device 11 is perpendicular to the main surface Sa. The inner bottom surface 201a (see FIG. 7) of the lower case 201 from the lower direction is the direction of the upper case 101 from the upper direction which is perpendicular to the main surface Sa on the upper surfaces of the vibration isolating portion 14f and the vibration isolating portion 14r. The fixed portion 101a and the fixed portion 101b are in contact with each other in the direction indicated by the dashed arrows.
 そして防振部14fの左側面には主側面Sbと垂直な方向である左方向から下ケース201の内壁面201b(図7参照)が一点鎖線の矢印で示した方向で当接し、防振部14rの右側面には主側面Sbと垂直な方向である右方向から下ケース201の内壁面201b(図7参照)が一点鎖線の矢印で示した方向で当接している。
 さらには防振部14fおよび防振部14rのそれぞれのもう一方の側面には副側面Scと垂直な方向から下ケース201の内壁面201b(図7参照)が二点鎖線の矢印で示した方向で当接することによって、ディスク型記録担体駆動装置11の本体部13(図2参照)と電子機器100の内面との間に所定の隙間を確保しつつ、電子機器100の上下方向、前後方向および左右方向の全3方向に対して所定の弾性力を確保しながら固定できている。
 つまり、ディスク型記録担体駆動装置11の本体部13(図2参照)と電子機器100の内面との間に所定の隙間を確保し、必ず防振部14fおよび防振部14rを介して本体部13を保持することにより、電子機器100が受けた振動や衝撃が直接ディスク型記録担体駆動装置11の本体部13に伝わることが防止され、それら振動や衝撃が防振部14fおよび防振部14rにおいて振動や衝撃のエネルギーが吸収・減衰した後に本体部13に伝わるという効果が得られている。
Then, the inner wall surface 201b (see FIG. 7) of the lower case 201 is in contact with the left side surface of the vibration isolating portion 14f from the left direction, which is a direction perpendicular to the main side surface Sb, in the direction indicated by the one-dot chain line arrow. The inner wall surface 201b (see FIG. 7) of the lower case 201 is in contact with the right side surface of 14r from the right direction, which is a direction perpendicular to the main side surface Sb, in the direction indicated by the dashed line arrow.
Further, on the other side surface of each of the vibration isolating portion 14f and the vibration isolating portion 14r, the inner wall surface 201b (see FIG. 7) of the lower case 201 from the direction perpendicular to the sub-side surface Sc is a direction indicated by a two-dot chain line arrow. In contact with the main body 13 (see FIG. 2) of the disk-type record carrier driving device 11 and the inner surface of the electronic device 100 while ensuring a predetermined gap, It can be fixed while securing a predetermined elastic force in all three directions in the left-right direction.
That is, a predetermined gap is ensured between the main body 13 (see FIG. 2) of the disk type record carrier driving device 11 and the inner surface of the electronic device 100, and the main body is always provided via the anti-vibration unit 14f and the anti-vibration unit 14r. By holding 13, vibrations and shocks received by the electronic device 100 are prevented from being directly transmitted to the main body 13 of the disk-type record carrier driving device 11, and these vibrations and shocks are prevented from the vibration isolating part 14 f and the vibration isolating part 14 r. In this case, the effect that the energy of vibration and impact is transmitted to the main body 13 after being absorbed and attenuated is obtained.
 以上により、電子機器100の固定部101aまたは固定部101bとディスク型記録担体駆動装置11の備える防振部14fおよび防振部14rとの当接面積である衝撃吸収面積が増大し、かつ、防振部14fおよび防振部14rの表面全体に均一的に当接するので、耐衝撃性や耐振動性の向上を実現できる。
 なお、この場合、防振部14fまたは防振部14rに対しては、下ケース201の内底面201aと内壁面201bも固定部として称していないものの固定部を構成するものである。
 なお、本体部13の主面Sa、主側面Sbまたは副側面Scとそれに所定の隙間を介して対向する電子機器100の内壁面201bまたは内底面201aとの間に所定の隙間を確保するのに加えて、緩衝材として前述したエラストマーなどの素材以外にも低燃焼性ウレタン、軟質ウレタンフォームや導電性ウレタンなどのスポンジ素材を適宜薄いプレート状に成型したものをその隙間に適宜挟み込むことによって、電子機器100が受けた振動や衝撃が直接ディスク型記録担体駆動装置の本体部13に伝わることが防止され、かつ、所定の隙間で発生する本体部13の振動を緩衝材が減衰させる効果も併せ持つのでより耐衝撃性や耐振動性を向上できる。
As described above, the shock absorbing area, which is the contact area between the vibration isolator 14f and the vibration isolator 14r of the fixed unit 101a or the fixed unit 101b of the electronic device 100 and the disc type record carrier driving device 11, is increased, and the Since the entire surface of the vibration portion 14f and the vibration isolation portion 14r is in uniform contact with each other, it is possible to improve impact resistance and vibration resistance.
In this case, the inner bottom surface 201a and the inner wall surface 201b of the lower case 201 constitute a fixing portion for the vibration isolating portion 14f or the vibration isolating portion 14r, although they are not referred to as fixing portions.
In order to secure a predetermined gap between the main surface Sa, the main side surface Sb or the sub-side surface Sc of the main body 13 and the inner wall surface 201b or the inner bottom surface 201a of the electronic device 100 opposed to the main surface Sa via the predetermined gap. In addition to the materials such as elastomers described above as cushioning materials, electronic materials can be obtained by appropriately inserting a thin plate-shaped sponge material such as low-flammability urethane, soft urethane foam, or conductive urethane into the gap. Since vibrations and shocks received by the device 100 are prevented from being directly transmitted to the main body 13 of the disk-type record carrier driving apparatus, the buffer material also has the effect of attenuating the vibration of the main body 13 generated in a predetermined gap. Impact resistance and vibration resistance can be improved.
 また、ディスク型記録担体駆動装置11が電子機器100の下ケース201の内底面201aと内壁面201bとに囲まれた矩形の実装空間に装着された後の振動や衝撃のない静的な状態において、必ずしも固定部101aまたは固定部101bを防振部14fまたは防振部14rの3方向の当接面にあらかじめ当接させる必要はない。
 つまり、所定以上の振動や衝撃を受けた際に当接して所定の弾性力を確保できればよいので例えば、本実施の形態2の場合であれば固定部101aまたは固定部101bとの間にあらかじめ最大で約0.3mm程度の隙間を設けることは、むしろ衝撃吸収性が良化するので構わない。
In a static state where there is no vibration or impact after the disc-type record carrier driving device 11 is mounted in a rectangular mounting space surrounded by the inner bottom surface 201a and the inner wall surface 201b of the lower case 201 of the electronic device 100. The fixed portion 101a or the fixed portion 101b does not necessarily need to be brought into contact with the three-way contact surfaces of the vibration-proof portion 14f or the vibration-proof portion 14r in advance.
In other words, it is sufficient that the predetermined elastic force can be ensured by contact when subjected to vibrations or impacts exceeding a predetermined level. For example, in the case of the second embodiment, the maximum distance between the fixed portion 101a or the fixed portion 101b is previously set. However, providing a gap of about 0.3 mm may improve the shock absorption.
 また、本体部13(図2参照)の高さに防振部14fまたは防振部14rの高さが加わり本装置全体の高さが大きくなることがないので薄型化が容易で、かつ、主面Saよりも下がった防振部14fおよび防振部14rの表面に電子機器100の備える固定部101bを当接させることにより、その電子機器100の薄型化も容易とし、両者を固定するためにネジを用いることも不要となるので、局所的な固定応力が作用することなく、当接面全体においてより均一な固定応力が得られ、電子機器100の薄型化にもかかわらず搭載したディスク型記録担体装置11の耐衝撃性や耐振動性を向上できるので、より高い信頼性を確保できる。 Further, the height of the main body 13 (see FIG. 2) is added to the height of the vibration isolator 14f or the vibration isolator 14r so that the overall height of the apparatus does not increase. In order to make the electronic device 100 thin and to fix both by fixing the fixing portion 101b of the electronic device 100 to the surfaces of the vibration isolating portion 14f and the vibration isolating portion 14r that are lower than the surface Sa. Since it is not necessary to use a screw, a local fixing stress does not act, and a more uniform fixing stress can be obtained over the entire abutting surface. Since the impact resistance and vibration resistance of the carrier device 11 can be improved, higher reliability can be ensured.
