Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application 2-1 The present invention relates to a disc storage device that allows audio discs to be attached to and removed from a device housing.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In recent years, the growth of compact discs in the audio field has been remarkable, doubling year by year, and replacing conventional records. This disk is stored inside the device housing.

In the conventional system, the tray holding the disks is driven by a motor or the like inside the device to load and unload the disks.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, the conventional system requires a large number of parts, is driven by a motor, requires a large space, and requires an electrical circuit for the drive system, making it structurally complex.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a disk storage device that has a simple configuration, has a small number of parts, and can be made thin.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the disk storage device of the present invention includes a disk storage section that is detachably attached to the device housing and that forms part of the outer surface of the device housing when stored. a first guide member fixed to the chassis and provided with a U-shaped groove for guiding one side of the tray; A second guide member that guides the side surface and has a locking member, an eject member, a leaf switch, etc. fixed for fixing the tray to the housing when stored, and engages with a rack portion provided on the tray and the second guide member. The device includes an angle member having a planetary damper gear and sliding on the back surface of the chassis, and a spring engaged with the angle member.

Effect of the present invention With the above-described configuration, most of the parts are fixed to the surface of the chassis, and the assembly work of these parts is done in the same direction.On the back side of the chassis, there are only angle members.
This allows the overall structure to be made thinner.

Embodiment Hereinafter, a disk storage device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the external appearance of the disk storage device of the present invention. In FIG. 3, 1 indicates a casing, and 2 indicates a tray forming a part of the casing. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the tray 2 coming out from the housing (ejected state), where 3 indicates a disk storage section provided in the tray, and 4 indicates a disk. FIG. 1 is a plan view showing the tray 2 in a stored state, with reference numeral 6 a chassis, 6 a first guide member, 7 a second guide member, 8 a lock member, 9 an eject button, and 10 an angle member. ,
11 is a spring, and 12 is a disk drive device.

The operation of the disk storage device configured as described above will be explained below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6.

First, FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a part of the external appearance of a device using the disk storage device of the present invention, and shows a state in which a tray 2 is stored in a housing 1. As shown in FIG. Figure 4 shows 5,-.

This is a diagram showing a state in which the tray 2 is ejected from the housing 1, and the tray 2 is provided with a disk storage section 3 for storing a disk 4.

FIG. 1 is a plan view of the state in which the tray 2 is housed and fixed in the housing 1, and the tray 2 is moved by the first guide member 6 and the second guide member 7 fixed to the chassis 5. Both sides are guided so that the tray 2 slides. The second guide member 7 is provided with a button 9 for ejecting the tray 2, a lock member 8 and a leaf switch 13, 14 which are engaged at one end with the eject button 9, and electrically control the stored state of the tray 2. It is designed to be sensed. Further, the tray 2 is provided with a recess 16 so as to engage with the lock member 8. Fig. 4 is a view taken in the direction of the arrow in Fig. 3;
The relationship between the tray 2 and the first and second guide members 6.7 on both sides is shown.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a state in which the tray 2 has been ejected out of the housing 1. The eject button 9 is pushed in the direction of the arrow on the housing side, and the locking member 8 connected to the eject button 9 rotates to release the tray 2. is no longer secured, and tray 2 is ejected.

In the ejected state, the first. Second guide members 6, 7
The stopper rib 15.15' provided on the tray 2 engages with the lip 16.16' provided on the tray 2, and serves as a stopper for the tray 2. FIG. 6 is a perspective view of each component.

A means for ejecting the tray 2 out of the housing 1 is provided so as to be freely slidable on the back surface of the chassis 5.

An angle member 1o having an oil damper gear 18 protruding from a cutout hole 17 of the chassis 5 is provided, and is constantly pulled in the direction of arrow B by a spring 11 as shown in the figure. The spring 11 is turned using a roller 19,
The free length is set to be long and the change in speed when ejecting the tray 2 is kept as constant as possible. Moreover, in the assembled state, the oil damper gear 18 has a rack portion 20 provided on the second guide member 7 and a rack portion 2 provided on the tray 2.
1, and acts as a planetary gear between the tray 2 and the second guide member 7, pushing the tray 2 out of the housing, and relieving the force of the spring 110 with an oil damper to soften the speed. It works to increase A kick spring 22 is provided at the center of rotation of the lock member 80.
The eject button 9 is always rotated in the direction of the tray 2, and the eject button 9 is always pushed out of the housing to ensure that the button returns at the time of ejection.

Reference numeral 12 shown in FIGS. 1 and 5 indicates a disk drive device, but detailed explanation thereof will be omitted.

With the above configuration, by configuring the components on the chassis, the disk storage device can be constructed thin and with a small number of components.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention comprises a tray provided with a disk storage section that is detachably attached to the device housing and forms a part of the outer surface of the device housing when stored, and a chassis fixed within the housing. a first guide member fixed to the chassis and provided with a U-shaped groove for guiding one side of the tray; a second guide member to which a locking member, an ejecting member, a leaf switch, etc. are fixed;
An angle member having a planetary oil damper gear that engages with both rack parts provided on the tray and the second guide member and sliding on the back surface of the chassis, and a spring engaged with the angle member. As a result, it is possible to realize a disk storage device that has a simple configuration, has a small number of parts, and can be made technically thinner.
