DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the device of the present invention will be described below. In order to help the description of the present embodiment, the schematic operation of the disk player to which the present invention is applied will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3.
And FIG. 4 will be described. In FIG. 1, a stocker 50 capable of stacking and accommodating seven carriages for mounting discs is located at the uppermost stage, and a carriage 58 stored at the lowermost stage of the stocker 50 is pulled out from the stocker 50 and accommodated in the tray 20. Tray 20 in the opened state
The eject position located outside the ya is shown.

The tray 20 is provided with two flanges 76, and when the carriage 58 is located in the tray 20, the height of the mounting recess 162 of the carriage 58 is so as to make up for the notch 161 of the carriage 58. Is formed at the same level as and is formed so as to project. The end surface of the flange 76 is formed so as to be continuous with the outer peripheral end of the 8-cm disk mounting recess 166. Reference numeral 200 denotes an optical mechanism for reproducing a disc, which includes a turntable 202 and a pickup 203.

At the eject position shown in FIG. 1, since the notch 161 is formed large in the carriage on which the disc is placed, it becomes unstable when the disc is placed. However, since the flange 76 is formed on the tray 20 so as to be continuous with the mounting recess 162 of the carriage 58, the support of the disc at the eject position is more reliable.

The tray 20 is moved from the eject position shown in FIG. 1 to the load position shown in FIG. 2 by a tray moving mechanism described later. After the 12 cm disk 201 is placed on the carriage 58 and the tray 20 is brought to the load position, the carriage 58 is moved from the position shown in FIG. 2 to the position shown in FIG. 3 by the shuttle 28 constituting a carriage moving mechanism described later. The tray 20 is pulled out to the reproduction position shown and moved to the right in the drawing. At this position, the optical mechanism 200 reproduces the disc 201.

The stocker 50 is movable in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the drawing, and after moving to a position corresponding to the selected desired disk 201, the carriage for mounting the desired disk 201 by the carriage moving mechanism causes the shuttle 2 to move.
8 is pulled out from the stocker 50 and moved to the reproduction position shown in FIG.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, since the disc 201 at the reproducing position and the discs stored in the stocker 50 are arranged in an overlapping manner, the optical mechanism 200 is overlaid. It must be placed in a non-burlap position. Therefore, in this embodiment, the turntable 202 is mainly used as the overshoot.
The pickup 203 is arranged so as to move parallel to the moving direction of the tray 20 in the direction opposite to the wrap portion.

However, as shown by the dotted line in FIG.
When the pickup 203 moves to the outermost position of the disc 201, a part of the pickup 203 moves to the disc 2
It is located outside the range occupied by 01. Therefore, when the pickup 203 is configured to move in this direction, it is necessary to increase the distance from the end of the accommodated disc to the front end of the tray 20, and the protrusion amount when the tray 20 is ejected becomes large. It has the drawback.

On the other hand, in this embodiment, the tray 2 is used.

<< Tilt Sensor >> In order to detect the tilted state of the disc player, a cylindrical tilt sensor 102 is attached to the left side chassis 84 as shown in FIG. This tilt sensor 102 is a sectional view thereof.
As shown in FIG. 3, the light emitting diode 103 is attached to the upper surface, and the light receiving portion 104 for receiving the light emitted from the light emitting diode 103 is attached to the bottom surface. Inclination sensor 102
The inner space of the upper part is a cylindrical part 105 and the lower part is a conical part 106.
And the sphere 107 is arranged in this internal space.

When the disc player is placed on the horizontal surface, the sphere 107 is located at the tip of the conical portion 106 as shown in FIG. 40A, and the light emitted from the light emitting diode 103 by the light receiving portion 104 is emitted. Is blocked from receiving light. The emission surface exposed to the inner space side of the light emitting diode 103 projects in a curved shape. Disc player is about 6
When tilted by 0 degrees, the sphere 107 moves from the position shown in FIG. 40A along the wall surface of the conical portion 106 to the position shown in FIG. 40B. In this position, the light emitting diode 103
Light emitted from the disk reaches the light receiving section 104,
It is possible to detect that the yarn is tilted.

The conical portion 1 of the tilt sensor 102
Various thresholds for detecting the inclination of the disc player can be set by setting the inclination angle of 06 or the like.

The tilt sensor 102 according to the present embodiment is not limited to the tilted state of the disc player, but also the disc player.
The vibration and acceleration applied to the yarn can also be detected. That is,
For example, if a large vibration is applied to the disc player,
The sphere 107 moves violently in the internal space of the tilt sensor 102, so that the light emitting diode 103 moves to the light receiving unit 10.
By moving from the position that blocks the outgoing light to 4,
The emitted light reaches the light receiving section. As a result, it can be detected that a large vibration is applied to the disc player.

When a sudden acceleration is applied in a direction parallel to the plane on which the disc player is placed, the sphere 107
Moves from the position shown in FIG. 40A along the wall surface of the conical portion 106 to the position shown in FIG. 40B. This makes it possible to detect that a sudden acceleration is applied in the direction parallel to the plane on which the disc player is placed.

Further, a case where a sudden acceleration is applied in a direction perpendicular to the plane on which the disk player is placed will be described. For example, when the disc player suddenly drops, the sphere 107 moves right above the position shown in FIG. 40A and collides with the emitting surface of the light emitting diode 103. Since this emission surface is curved, the emitted light reaches the light receiving portion by moving the sphere 107 from the emission surface to the left or right in the figure. This makes it possible to detect that a sudden acceleration is applied in the direction perpendicular to the plane on which the disc player is placed.

If a small vibration or acceleration is applied to the disc player, the sphere 107 will move as shown in FIG.
It only slightly moves up and down, left and right from the position shown in (3), and keeps a position that blocks outgoing light from reaching the light receiving portion.

<< Control Circuit >> FIG. 41 shows a control circuit for controlling the motors 230 and 231 which are the power sources of the above-mentioned mechanisms. Various operation keys 241 arranged at required portions on the surface of the disc player are connected to the microcomputer 240. As a result, the microcomputer 240 outputs an operation command corresponding to the operation key 241 to the motor drive circuits 242 and 243 to rotate the above-mentioned motors 230 and 231 in a required direction. The output of the tilt sensor 102 is also connected to the microcomputer 240, and when the disk player is tilted or when the disk player is subjected to sudden vibration or acceleration,
The disk player is put in the operation prohibited state described later.

<< Operation of Tray Moving Mechanism >> The operation of the tray moving mechanism will be described below with reference to FIGS. In FIG. 17, the tray 20 accommodating the carriage 58 on which the disc is placed is in the eject position protruding outside the apparatus, and in this state, the end of the rack 38 provided on the right tray plate 34 constituting the tray 20. The part and the gear 29 are meshed with each other. Here, when the motor 230 rotates counterclockwise in the figure, the gear 29 rotates clockwise through the belt 31 and the reduction gear 26 to move the tray 20 to the right in the figure, which is the load position direction. To move.

When the tray 20 is brought to the load position shown in FIG. 18, the gear 29 is located at the left end portion 64 of the rack 38, and the movement of the tray 20 causes the gear 29 and the rack 3 to move.
The connection with 8 is automatically disconnected. The left end 64
Is formed so that the height of the tooth portion gradually decreases. However, in this position, the gear 29 and the rack 3
8 is only a short distance away from each other, and when the tray 20 moves due to vibration or the like, the gear 29 and the rack 38 come into contact with each other. In order to prevent this, the protrusion 57 formed at the tip of the tray stopper 150 engages with the recess 65 of the right tray plate 34, and the right tray plate 34 is further moved in the right direction in the drawing. The gear 29 and the rack 38 are configured to be reliably separated from each other, and the operation will be described below.

Cam groove 52 formed in shuttle gear 23
The first and second changing portions 66 and 67 whose diameter changes with respect to the rotation direction of the shuttle gear 23 are formed in the. When the shuttle gear 23 rotates clockwise from the position shown in FIG. 17, the pin 151 of the tray stopper 150 is first positioned at the first changing portion 66, and acts to separate the pin 151 from the shaft 130 of the shuttle gear 23. At this time, the tray stopper 150 moves the tray guide plate 40.
5 up to the right-angled bent portion of the guide groove 49 formed on the
7, the protrusion 57 is moved so as to approach the right tray plate 34.

When the shuttle gear 23 continues to rotate clockwise, the pin 151 is positioned at the second changing portion 67 of the cam groove 52. At this time, the cam portion 67 acts to further separate the pin 151 from the shaft 130 of the shuttle gear 23, but the action of the guide groove 49 causes the projection portion 57 to move to the right in the figure while moving the right tray plate. Close to 34. The tray stopper 150 is moving at the load position of the tray 20 shown in FIG.
Has been inserted into the concave portion 65, but has not yet given its driving force to the right tray plate 34.

Since the motor 230 is also used as the drive source of the shuttle 28 that moves the carriage 58, the carriage 58 that is still inside the tray 20 even after the tray 20 is brought to the load position. It is continuously rotated to move to the playback position. With this rotation, the shuttle gear 23 further rotates in the clockwise direction, and the protrusion 57 of the tray stopper 150 engages with the recess 65 of the right tray plate 34. As a result, the right tray plate 34 is moved to the right from the position shown in FIG. 18, and brought to the reproduction position shown in FIG. 19 where the gear 29 and the rack 38 are surely disengaged from each other.

Even if the shuttle gear 23 continues to rotate in order to move the carriage from the reproduction position to the stock position, the pin 151 does not move due to the concentric circle portion of the cam groove 52. Therefore, the tray stopper 150 does not change from the position of the stock position shown in FIG. 20 to the position of the reproduction position shown in FIG. 19, and the tray stopper 150 is located between the reproduction position shown in FIG. 19 and the stock position shown in FIG.
Acts as a locking mechanism to lock the.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the disc 201 in the reproducing position and the discs stored in the stocker 50 are arranged so as to overlap each other, so that the optical mechanism 200 is overlaid. It must be placed in a non-burlap position. Therefore, in this embodiment, the pickup 203 is arranged so as to move in parallel with the moving direction of the tray 20.

However, as shown by the dotted line in FIG.
When the pickup 203 moves to the outermost position of the disc 201, a part of the pickup 203 moves to the disc 2
It is located outside the range occupied by 01. Therefore, when the pickup 203 is configured to move in this direction, it is necessary to increase the distance from the end of the disc on the tray 20 to the front end of the tray 20, and the protrusion amount when the tray 20 is ejected is increased. It has the drawback of becoming large.

On the other hand, in this embodiment, the tray 2 is used.
The position where the carriage 58 is further moved in the load direction of the tray 20 from the load position of 0 is the reproduction position. Thereby, the length of the front portion of the tray 20 can be shortened.

<< Operation of Carriage Moving Mechanism >> Shuttle 2
8 is a notch portion 16 formed on the side surface of the carriage 58.
The carriage 58, which is engaged with the tray 3 and brought from the eject position to the load position by the tray 20, is moved from the tray 20 to the reproducing position, and the carriage 58 is located in the stocker 50 from the reproducing position. The carriage 58 is driven to between the stock positions,
This will be described with reference to FIGS. 21 to 24.

The motor 230 which is the drive source of the shuttle 28
Is also used as a drive source for the tray 20. As shown in FIG. 21, when the tray 20 is in the eject position, the rack 58 of the shuttle 28 does not mesh with the shuttle gear 23. Further, in this eject position, the tray 20
A shuttle lock 60 pivotally supported on the tray locks the shuttle 28, and the tray 20 and the shuttle 28 are integrated.

As shown in FIG. 22, when the tray 20 is brought to the load position, the rack 68 of the shuttle 28 is shown.
Meshes with shuttle gear 23. At this position, the shuttle lock 60 is rotated by a mechanism (not shown) to be in the disengaged state with the shuttle 28, and the shuttle 28 is movable from the tray 20.

Since the carriage 58 accommodated in the tray 20 is brought to the reproduction position, the motor 230 which is rotated counterclockwise to drive the tray 20 to the load position is continuously rotated counterclockwise. The shuttle gear 23 moves the shuttle 28 to the right in the drawing, and moves the carriage 58 engaged with the arm 69 of the shuttle 28 to the reproduction position shown in FIG.

When the carriage 58 is further brought to the stock position, the motor 230 further rotates counterclockwise and the shuttle 28 is moved to the stock position shown in FIG.

<< Description of Operation of Carriage Interval Forming Mechanism >> The operation of the carriage interval forming mechanism will be described with reference to FIGS. 25, 26 and 27.
And FIG. 28. 25 shows the tray 20 at the eject position, FIG. 26 shows the tray 20 at the load position, and FIG.
7 is a reproduction position, and FIG. 28 is a carriage interval forming mechanism when the carriage 58 is at a stock position where it is stored in the stocker.

25 from the eject position shown in FIG. 25 to the reproducing position shown in FIG. 27, the pin 45 of the change plate 43 is located in the concentric circle portion of the cam groove 72 provided in the change gear 42. Change play
The position of g.43 does not change. At these positions, as shown in FIG. 37, which shows other carriages located in the stocker 50 when the carriage is pulled out from the stocker 50 and brought to the reproduction position, as shown in FIG.
The carriage lifter 140 of the change plate 43 is engaged with a triangular engagement protrusion 167 formed on the side surface of the carriage above the carriage pulled out from the stocker 50 among the carriages stored therein. There is. As a result, the carriage above the pulled out carriage is lifted.

In this state, the carriage 59 above the pulled-out carriage 59 is supported by the carriage guide 51 provided on the stocker 50 at the rear end thereof, and the carriage lifter 140 with respect to the lowermost carriage 58. The carriage 59 lifted by is in a tilted state. Therefore, as shown in the drawing, a required space is formed at the front end portions between the carriages that are closely stacked. Note that FIG.
The carriage lifter 140 and the stopper 14
For the description of No. 1, the second carriage 59 from the bottom among the seven carriages is illustrated as being pulled out from the stocker 50.

The stopper 141 is the engaging projection 16 of the carriage 58 located below the pulled-out carriage 59.
It contacts 7 and locks its position. The carriage stoppers 86 and 87 provided on the right side chassis 82 are inserted into the cutout portions 163 with which the shuttles 28 formed on the carriages 58 and 59 are engaged, and similarly, the carriage stoppers in the stocker 50. This is to prevent unnecessary movement of 58 and 59. Also, the carriage stopper 8
A carriage 59 pulled out from the stocker 50 is located in a slot 89 formed between the carriage 6 and the carriage 87.

When the motor 230 rotates counterclockwise in order to store the carriage 58 in the stocker from the reproduction position, the cam groove 72 causes the change plate 43 to face the moving direction of the carriage 58 in FIG. At the stock position where the carriage 58 is moved to the left and brought into the stocker 50, the change plate 43
Is brought to the position of FIG.

At this position, the change plate 4
As shown in FIG. 38, the carriage lifter 140 provided in No. 3 is disengaged from the engagement protrusion 167 of the carriage 58, and lifts the carriage 58. Also,
In this stock position, the arm 6 of the shuttle 28 is
9 is located in a slot 89 formed between the carriage stoppers 86 and 87.

As described above, the moving mechanism of the tray 20, the moving mechanism of the carriage 58 or 59, and the carriage gap forming mechanism share the motor 230, which is the driving source thereof. The movement of the tray 20 from the eject position to the load position, the movement of the carriage from the load position to the stock position, and the operation of the carriage interval forming mechanism at the stock position are all in one direction of the motor. It is continuously performed by rotation. Therefore, it is more advantageous in terms of cost than the one using a dedicated motor for each.

<< Explanation of Operation of Stocker Moving Mechanism >> As described above, when the pulled out carriage 58 is stored in the stocker 50, one of the seven carriages 58 and 59 is selected. In response to, the motor 231 shown in FIG. 29 is used to move the stocker 50 up and down.
Starts to rotate. The rotation force of the motor 231 is the rubber belt 3
2. The input gear 116 of the planetary gear mechanism 100 is rotated via the worm gear 111 and the reduction gear 112.

Since the change plate 43 is moving to the left in the figure, the change arm 44 connected to the change plate 43 is rotated clockwise about the shaft 127, The rubber attached to the tip of the third arm 63 serves as the second output gear 119 of the planetary gear mechanism 100.
Being pressed against. As a result, the rotational force of the motor 231 is changed to the first output gear 117, the reduction gear 115, the rack 17
The cam base chassis 13 is moved in the right direction in the figure along the elongated hole 18 via.

In the position shown in FIG. 29, the stocker 5
As shown in FIG. 30, 0 has been moved to the uppermost position. When the cam base chassis 13 moves from this position to the right in the figure, the stocker 50 is guided by the long holes 70, 71 by the cam groove 15 formed in the stocker cam plate 14 attached to the cam base chassis 13. Be moved downwards.

FIG. 31 shows the state where the cam base chassis 13 has moved to the rightmost, and the stocker 50 corresponding to this position.
The position of is shown in FIG. In the state shown in FIG. 32,
Among the carriages 58 and 59 accommodated in the stocker 50, the carriage 59 located at the uppermost stage can be pulled out.

<< Explanation of Operation of Moving Mechanism of Optical Mechanism >>
When the motor 230 rotates clockwise to pull out the uppermost carriage 59 and the shuttle 28 moves from the stock position shown in FIG. 24 to the reproduction position shown in FIG. 23, the change plate at the stock position shown in FIG. 43 is shown in FIG.
29, the change arm 44 connected to the change plate 43 is moved to the right as shown in FIG.
It is rotated counterclockwise from the position shown in to the position shown in FIG.

At this position, the change arm 44
The rubber provided at the tip of the second arm 62 is pressed against the outer circumference of the reduction gear 115, whereby the rotational force of the motor 231 can be transmitted to the second output gear 119 of the planetary gear mechanism 100. To be done. When the motor 231 rotates in this state, the cam gear 110 is rotated counterclockwise through the reduction gear 114 from the position shown in FIG. 33 to the position shown in FIG.

Due to this rotation, the damper base 1 supporting the optical mechanism 200 by the rubber ring 183.
As a result of the pin 186 provided at 80 being raised by the cam groove 101, the optical mechanism 200 at the lowered position as shown in FIG. 34 is pivotally supported by the mechanical base arm 181 to the raised position shown in FIG. 36. Move around.

As a result, the disc 201 placed on the carriage 59 is lifted from the carriage 59 by the turntable 202 constituting the optical mechanism 200, and the clamper 190 supported by the top chassis 30 is provided as shown in FIG. The disc 201 is sandwiched between the turntable 202 and the turntable 202, and the disc 201 is rotated by the turntable 202. Also, pickup 2
03 moves to the left and right in FIG.
1 is irradiated with laser light to reproduce the information recorded on the disc 201.

In this reproduction, as shown in FIG. 39 which is a sectional view of the main part at the reproduction position, the carriage 59 on which the disk 201 to be reproduced is mounted is moved to the stocker 5.
It is done without pulling everything from 0. Particularly, the peripheral portion of the disk 201 lifted from the carriage 59 by the turntable 202 is located at the carriage lifter 1
Located in a space spaced by 40, the contact of the disk 201 with the carriage due to surface wobbling or the like is effectively prevented. Note that in FIG. 39, as in FIG. 37, the second carriage 59 from the bottom among the seven carriages is illustrated as being pulled out from the stocker 50. Further, a state where the pickup 203 has moved to the outermost peripheral position of the disc 201 is shown by a dotted line.

In the case of ejecting the disc 201, which is placed on the second carriage 59 from the bottom and is being reproduced, to the outside of the player, the operation opposite to the above description may be performed. That is, by rotating the motor 231, the optical mechanism 200 at the position shown in FIGS.
23, the shuttle 230 is moved by the motor 230 from the position shown in FIG. 23 to the position shown in FIG. 22, and the carriage 59 is inserted into the tray 20. Further, the motor 230 is rotated and the tray 20 is moved from the position shown in FIG. 18 to the position shown in FIG. 17 to the eject position.

<Explanation of Operation at Abnormality> FIG. 42 shows the operation of the disk player when the disk player is tilted or when a sudden vibration or acceleration is applied to the disk player. This will be described with reference to the timing chart shown in FIG. 4 and the flow charts shown in FIGS. Incidentally, in the timing chart, FIG.
42A, the output of the tilt sensor in the normal state in which the sphere 107 of the tilt sensor 102 blocks the light emitted from the light emitting diode 103 to the light receiving portion is indicated by "H" in FIG. The abnormal states in which 107 moves from the position shown in FIG. 40A to, for example, the position shown in FIG. 40B and the light emitted from the light emitting diode 103 is received by the light receiving unit 104 are shown as “L” in FIG. 42A.

The microcomputer 240 connected to the tilt sensor 102 monitors the output of the tilt sensor 102 shown in FIG. 42A, and if "L" continues for 40 msec or longer shown in the period T1, the disc player is prohibited from operating as described later. Set to mode. Also, in this operation prohibited mode, the tilt sensor 1
When the output of 02 becomes "H" for 2 sec or more shown in the period T2, it is considered that the normal state is restored and the operation prohibition mode is released.

<< Setting of Operation Inhibit Mode >> The operation of setting the operation inhibit mode will be described below with reference to FIGS. 42 and 43. At time t1, the output of the tilt sensor 102 is "L".
Then, (300), the output of the tilt sensor 102 becomes the period T.
A counter in the microcomputer 240 starts counting for 1 (301, 302). In the illustrated example, the time is returned to "H" at time t2 which is less than the period T1 from time t1. Therefore, since the period T1 which is the condition for the operation prohibition mode is not satisfied, the disk player maintains the normal operation state, and the microcomputer 240 responds to various operation keys 241 by the respective motors 230. , 231 is given a drive command.

At time t3, the output of the tilt sensor 102 changes to "L" again (300), and returns to "H" at time t4 after the duration of T1 or more. In this case, at the end of the period T1, (300, 301, 3
02) The counter is reset (303), and the disk player is set to the operation prohibition mode (304). Note that FIG.
In B, "H" represents the normal operation mode and "L" represents the operation prohibition mode.

In the operation prohibit mode, the start of rotation of the motor 230 during the setting of the mode is prohibited. As shown in FIG. 36, the motor 231 is a motor for lowering the turntable 202 when the disc 201 is held between the turntable 202 and the clamper 190. -The start of rotation of the motor 231 is prohibited.

That is, the prohibition of the rotation start of the motor 230 means that the disc 201 is in the eject position, the load position, the reproducing position or the stock position in the tilted state, the state where the vibration and the acceleration are applied. It means prohibiting movement between them. Also, turntable 20
2 and the prohibition of the rotation start of the motor 231 in the disc holding state by the clamper 190 means that the carriage 58 or 5 which positions the holding state of the disc 201 at the reproducing position.
9 means that it is prohibited to be placed on the table.

This is because the disk placed on the carriages 58 and 59 in the disk player and moving may deviate from the disk mounting recesses 162 and 166 of the carriages 58 and 59 due to tilting, vibration and acceleration. Is high. Further, the held state of the disk 201 is to maintain the held state because there is no fear that the held state will be released by tilting, vibration, or acceleration.

When the operation prohibition mode is set during the rotation of the above-mentioned motors 230 and 231, the mode is directly changed.
The rotation of the motors 230 and 231 is continued to complete the required operation. Further, operations other than those described above, such as the vertical movement of the stocker 50 by the motor 231 and the holding operation of the disc 201 by the movement of the optical mechanism 200 from FIG. 34 to FIG. 36 by the motor 231, are prohibited operations in this embodiment. Is not the subject of.

<Release of Operation Inhibit Mode> The release of the operation inhibit mode will be described below with reference to FIGS. 42 and 44. At time t4, the output of the tilt sensor 102 becomes "H" (310). After that, counting of whether or not this "H" state continues for the period T2 is started (311, 312).
However, the output of the tilt sensor 102 turns to “L” again at the time t6, which is less than the period T2 from the time t4,
After that, this “L” state continues for the period T1 or longer (31
0, 313, 314), the counts of the periods T1, T2 are reset (315), and the operation prohibition mode is continued.

At time t7, the tilted state of the disc player is restored, and the vibration and the acceleration are reduced.
When the state in which the tilt sensor 102 is not applied is set to "H" (310), this "H" state is maintained for the period T.
2 Counts whether to continue (311, 312). During this count, the period T1 between times t8 and t9
When the output of the tilt sensor 102 changes to "L" for a short period of time less than, counting of whether or not the "L" state continues for the period T1 is started as described above (310, 310).
313, 314), in which case the "L" state ends in less than the period T1 and the "H" state continues (310,
311 and 312). As a result, at time t10, the output "H" from the tilt sensor 102 continues for the period T2, so the microcomputer 240 resets the count values of T1 and T2 (316) and releases the operation prohibition mode. (317) The disk player is set to the normal operation mode.

<< Operation after Releasing Operation Prohibition Mode >> A case where an operation command is input from the operation key 241 at time t5 during the operation prohibition mode is shown in the timing chart of FIG.
And the flow chart of FIG. 45. Note that FIG. 42C shows an instruction input from the operation key-241, and FIG. 42D shows an operating state of the disk player controlled by the microcomputer 240.

While the disc 201 stored in the lowermost stage of the stocker 50 is being reproduced at the reproducing position shown in FIG. 3, the operation key is pressed at time t5 to reproduce the disc stored in the uppermost stage of the stocker 50. Is operated (32
0), the instruction by this operation key is a disc exchange instruction, and it is necessary to cancel the holding of the disc 201 currently being reproduced by the turntable 202 and the clamper 190. Since this is an operation prohibition command (322), this command is suspended (3) until the operation prohibition mode is released.
21, 322). When the operation prohibition mode is released at time t10, this command is executed by the microcomputer 240 (321, 323).

Therefore, after the time t10, after the rotation of the turntable 202 is stopped, the motor 231 rotates, and the cam gear via the second output gear 119 and the reduction gear 114 of the planetary gear mechanism 100. Rotate 110 from the position shown in FIG. 35 to the position shown in FIG. With this,
The optical mechanism 200 moves from the position shown in FIG. 36 to the position shown in FIG. 34, and the holding of the disc 201 is released. After that, the motor 230 rotates and the shuttle 28 is moved to the position shown in FIG.
After the disk 201 is stored in the stocker 50 by moving it to the stock position shown in (1), the stocker 50 is moved by the motor 231 as described above.

During the above-described operation prohibition mode, the start of the movement of the disc is also prohibited. Therefore,
When the operation prohibition mode is set with the disc player in the eject position shown in FIG. 1, even if a reproduction command is input by the operation key -241 at time t5, the microcomputer 240 causes the motor 230 to operate. The rotation of the motor 230 is started from the time t10 when the operation prohibition mode is released without rotating. Therefore, after time t10, the motor 230 moves the tray 20 from the eject position shown in FIG. 1 to the load position shown in FIG. 2, and then the carriage 58 mounted on the tray 20 is moved to the load position shown in FIG. -Move from the play position to the playback position shown in FIG.

Similarly, since the start of rotation of the motor 230 is prohibited, from the stock position shown in FIG. 4 in which the disk 201 is stored in the stocker 50 during the period of "L" in FIG. 42B. The movement of the disc 201 to the reproduction position shown in 3 is prohibited. Therefore, when the operation prohibition mode is set in a state where the disc player is brought to the stock position shown in FIG. 4, even if a reproduction command is input by the operation key 241 at time t5, the microcomputer 240 Does not rotate the motor 230, and the motor 230 is started from the time t10 when the operation prohibition mode is released.
To start the rotation. Therefore, after time t10, the motor 230 starts moving the carriage 58 from the stock position shown in FIG. 4 to the reproduction position shown in FIG.

The tilt sensor according to the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above-described embodiment, and a mercury switch that is switched by the movement of mercury may be used. Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the single sensor for detecting the inclination, the vibration and the acceleration is shared, but the sensor for detecting the inclination and the sensor for detecting the vibration and the acceleration may be separately provided.

[0112]

As described above, according to the present invention, troubles caused by moving the mechanism of the disc reproducing apparatus can be prevented in an abnormal state where the disc player is tilted.

Similarly, in an abnormal state where vibration and acceleration are applied, troubles caused by moving the mechanism of the disc reproducing apparatus can be prevented.

In particular, according to the present invention, since the holding of the disc held by the turntable and the clamper is not released during the abnormal state, the held disc can be protected.

Further, according to the present invention, the start of the movement of the disc between the eject position and the reproducing position and between the reproducing position and the stock position is prohibited during the abnormal state.
The trouble due to such movement can be prevented.
