[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an optical disk package device for automatically packing an optical disk such as a compact disk or a digital video disk in a disk case while intermittently carrying the disk case.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a prior art of the above-mentioned optical disk package device, there is one disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-214471. This optical disk package device will be briefly described as follows.

That is, the above-mentioned optical disc package apparatus is provided with a base frame, and a feed conveyor for intermittently conveying the disc case from the lid opening station to the disc feeding station to the lid closing station is provided on the base frame. In the vicinity of the right part of the feed conveyor in the base frame, there is provided a lid opening actuating means for swinging the lid in the disc case located at the lid opening station in the opening direction. An opening actuating member movable in the opening / closing direction (opening direction, closing direction) and a vacuum pad provided on the opening actuating member and adsorbing the lid body are provided.

Further, near the central portion of the feed conveyor in the base frame, there is provided a disk supply robot for supplying an optical disk inside the case body of the disk case located at the disk supply station. Further, a lid closing operation means for swinging the lid of the disk case located at the lid closing station in the closing direction is provided near the left portion of the feed conveyor in the base frame.

Therefore, when the disc case is located at the lid opening station, the opening actuating member of the lid opening actuating means is moved in the closing direction, and the lid of the disc case is attracted by the vacuum pad from above. Next, under a state where the lid body is sucked by the vacuum pad, by moving the opening actuating member in the opening direction, the lid body is swung in the opening direction by following the lid body.
Keep it open. After the cover is opened, the suction state of the vacuum pad is released.

Then, when the disc case is intermittently conveyed from the lid opening station to the disc supply station by the feeding conveyor under the state where the lid of the disc case is opened, the case in the disc case is conveyed by the disc supply means. Supply the disc inside the body. Further, when the lid case of the disc case is opened and the disc case is intermittently conveyed from the disc supply station to the lid closing station by the feeding conveyor, the lid closing operation means closes the lid body. Swing it to the closed position.

As described above, the optical disc can be automatically packed in the disc case.

[0008]

By the way, in recent years, the development of a disc case has been remarkable, and as shown in, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 11-503691, the lid can be easily covered in consideration of the convenience of handling the optical disc. There has been developed a disk case with a button that has a lock function for locking the lid so that the body does not open and has an operation button for unlocking the lid on the front side.

However, since the lid of the disk case with the button is normally locked, the opening actuating member is moved in the opening direction while the lid is sucked by the vacuum pad. , The lid cannot be opened. Therefore, there is a problem that some conventional disk packaging devices cannot automatically pack an optical disk in the disk case with the button.

[0010]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is intermittently carried a disk case with a button having an operation button for unlocking the lid on the front side, while the disk is being transferred.

The tip end of the lid 6 in the disc case 2 is clamped (pressed) from above by the 2 above. As a result, the lid 6 of the disc case 2 can be completely closed. The lid 6 in the disc case 2 is
Is completely closed, the working rod 100 is returned to the original state.

As described above, the optical disc can be automatically packed in the disc case. Furthermore, by applying the above-mentioned operation to a large number of disk cases, it is possible to automatically pack the optical disks in the large number of disk cases.

As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the pusher 43 (47, 50) pushes the operation button 8 in the disk case 2A with a button from above to unlock the lid 6. It is possible to move the opening actuating member 39 in the opening direction under the state where the lid 6 is sucked by the vacuum pad 40, and the lid 6 is moved.
Can be opened. Therefore, the optical disc 3 can be automatically packed in the disc case 2A with the button.

According to the first and second modes of the opening operation means 38, the pusher 4 is driven by the pressing solenoid 42 (49).
Since 3 (50) is moved to the operation button 8 side, the pusher 43 (50) can surely unlock the lid 6 in the disk case 2A with the button. Further, according to the third aspect of the opening operation means 38, without using an actuator for a pusher,
Since the lid 5 can be unlocked by pressing the operation button 8 in the disk case 2A with the button from above in combination with the biasing force of the spring 52, the number of actuators can be reduced and the cost can be reduced.

Further, the fixing means 33 is provided before the opening actuating member 39 is moved in the opening direction under the state where the lid 6 of the disc case 2 is sucked by the vacuum pad 40.
Since the case body 4 of the disc case 2 is fixed by this, the lid 6 can be stably swung in the opening direction.

Further, since various actuators in the optical disk package device 1 can be operated with a small amount of electric power, no special preparation work is required.

The present invention is not limited to the above description of the embodiment of the invention. For example, the disc feeding robot 73 is provided with a function of pushing the central portion of the optical disc 3 from above, so that the disc pushing robot 73 presses the disc. The means 85 can be omitted, or the lid closing operation means 95
By providing a function of clamping the lid, the lid clamping means 98 can be omitted, and other appropriate changes can be made.
