Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable relay recording to be performed in any direction and to prevent erroneous erasure from being performed by setting first and second tape recorders at recording waiting states. CONSTITUTION:The title device is provided with a relay recording means which starts recording on the cassette tape in the second tape recorder after the recording on the cassette tape in the first tape recorder is completed. The relay recording means starts the recording by cancelling either both recording waiting states in the state where the first and second tape recorders are set at the recording waiting states. And after the recording on the tape recorder set at a recording state is completed, a control means Q10 starts the recording on the tape recorder on the other side set at the recording waiting state. In such a way, the relay recording can be performed in any direction, and also, the erroneous erasure can be prevented from being performed since both cassette driving mechanisms should be always set at the recording waiting states at the time of performing the relay recording.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) This invention relates to a so-called double cassette tape recorder that is equipped with two cassette tape recorders in the same cabinet. The present invention relates to a relay recording device for a double cassette tape recorder that performs relay recording to the other tape recorder.

(Prior technology) Currently, in the mainstream double cassette tape recorder,
The means for repeat recording onto the cassette tape mounted on the other cassette drive mechanism after the recording on the cassette tape mounted on one cassette drive mechanism is completed is limited to a recording mode in a certain fixed order.

FIG. 3 shows the configuration of a conventional double cassette tape recorder.

In the figure, SWT is a mechanical reverse mode setting circuit, and this circuit SW1 determines the recording mode based on the keys of relay Sa, endless reverse Sb, once reverse SC1, and non-reverse Sd. SW2, sW
3 is a group of input keys such as the rec key RFC of the cassette drive mechanism MA and MB, and the hold brake FWD. Ql and Q2 are controllers that control the cassette drive mechanisms MA and MB based on input key groups sw2.8w3 and key manual signals from the moto setting switch SW1. The outputs of the controllers Q1 and Q2 are supplied to drivers Q3 and Q4, respectively, and the outputs of the drivers Q3 and Q4 bring the cassette drive mechanisms MA and MB into predetermined operating states. Also, between controllers Q1 and Q2, when switch SW1 is set to relay recording mode, cassette drive mechanism MA is connected.
A control line CL is provided to put the cassette drive mechanism MB into a recording state after waiting for the recording to be completed.

When the relay key Sa is operated to input the information to the mode setting circuit Sw1, this information is supplied to the controllers Q+ and Q2, and the controllers Q1 and Q2 determine that the relay recording state is in progress.

, When you operate the forward key FWD and set the recording state,
Driver Q3 is the reel motor R of the cassette drive mechanism MA.
M.

Drives capstan motor CM and plunger PL,
Start by recording side A of the cassette tape. When recording of side A is finished, controller Q1 switches to driver Q.
3, the plunger PL is driven to separate the pinch roller from the capstan, and the reel motor RM is reversed to start recording the B side. Cassette drive mechanism M
When recording is completed on sides A and B of the cassette tape loaded in A, the controller Q1 connects the control line CL.
A relay recording control signal is output to the controller Q2 via the controller Q2. Controller Q2 controls driver Q4,
The cassette drive mechanism MB is driven based on the control signal.

The cassette drive mechanism MB records on the A side of the loaded cassette tape and then records on the B side in the same manner as described above. When the end of the B-side tape is reached, the relay recording is automatically stopped and the relay recording is terminated.

In this way, with the cassette tapes installed in each of the cassette drive mechanisms MA and MB, after the recording of the one installed in the mechanism MA has finished, is relay recording performed on the one installed in the mechanism MB? It was limited in how it could be used because it could only perform relay recording in the direction of force.

Furthermore, when the relay key S1 is operated and the cassette drive mechanism MA is set to the recording state, the cassette drive mechanism MB is automatically set to the recording state, so there is a risk of accidentally erasing a cassette tape that you originally did not want to record. Ta.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) In the conventional dubbing device described above, not only is there a restriction on how to use it because the order of relay recording is in a fixed direction, but also the relay recording has a recording mode setting switch that determines whether it is in the relay recording position or not. Because of this, the tape attached to the mechanism used for replay recording had to be erased.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a dubbing device which eliminates the above-mentioned problems, enables relay recording from any direction, arouses awareness of relay recording, and prevents accidental erasure. It is.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) The dubbing device of the present invention includes a relay that starts recording on the cassette tape of a second tape recorder after recording on the cassette tape of the first tape recorder is completed. It has a recording means, and the relay recording means starts recording by releasing the recording standby state of either the first or second tape recorder with the first and second tape recorders in a recording standby state, The apparatus is equipped with a control means for starting recording on the other tape recorder that is in a recording standby state after the recording of the tape recorder in the recording state is completed.

(Function) By the means described above, the dubbing device of the present invention can perform relay recording from the one that releases the recording standby state to the one that does not release the recording standby state by placing the first and second tape recorders in the recording standby state. .

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, SWl is a mechanical reverse mode setting circuit, and this mode setting circuit SW1 has relay Sa1 endless reverse Sb, one-time reverse Sc, and non-reverse Sd keys, and the mode setting circuit SW1 has relay Sa1 endless reverse Sb, one-time reverse Sc, and non-reverse Sd keys, and the This is for setting each recording mode. sw2, sw
3 is the cassette drive mechanism MA, MB's Rextanby key R/5T-BY, and the forward brake.
FWD and reverse play (not shown), fast forward, rewind,
This is a group of input keys such as stop. Q In is a controller that controls the cassette drive mechanisms MA and MB based on the input keys SW2 and SW3. The output of the controller Q In is 11ゝ to the driver QQ.
12, respectively, and put the cassette drive mechanisms MA and MB into a predetermined operating state with the outputs of the drivers Q and Q. The cassette drive mechanisms MA and MB are composed of a reel motor 11-12-ta RM driven by a drive signal from a driver QQ, a capstan motor CM, a plunger PL for driving a head chassis, etc.

In the above configuration, operate the R/5 key R/5T-BY of the input key group SW2, and press this key R/5.
The controller Q1θ that supplied the T-BY input controls the driver Q, and the driver Q11 controls the controller Q.
Based on the command No. 10, the cassette drive mechanism MA glue motor RM is rotated in the forward direction, the capstan motor CM is rotated, and the plunger PL is further driven to set the pinch roller and capstan in a non-conflicting state and set to a recording standby state. do.

When the forward brake FWD is subsequently operated, the controller Q+o causes the driver Q11 to cause the plunger PL to collide with the pinch roller and capstan,
Controls the cassette tape to start running. As a result, the cassette drive mechanism MA enters the recording state. When the recording has finished to the end of the cassette tape, the controller Q10 receives the inversion signal and the cassette drive mechanism MA
Start reverse recording and start recording up to the end of the tape.

Similarly, the input key group SW3's Rex standby key R/
5T-BY and then forward key FWD, the controller Q In controls the driver Q12, puts the cassette drive mechanism MB in a recording standby state based on the command from the controller Q In, and then starts recording.

After operating the Rex standby key R/5T-BY of the input key group SW2 or SW3 mentioned above, operate the forward key FWD to enter the cassette drive mechanism MA or MB.
Suppose that it is in the recording state. Therefore, mode setting circuit SW1
When the endless key SL of the human keys is operated, the cassette drive mechanism in the recording state completes the recording by reversing once, and then starts endlessly reproducing the cassette in reverse. Also, when you operate the reverse key Sc once, the recording ends with the reverse key once, and the non-reverse key Sd
When the cassette tape is operated, the recording will stop once the A side of the cassette tape has been recorded, and if the B side is being recorded, the recording will start again.

Next, operate the relay key Sa among the input keys of the mode setting circuit Stl, and press the input keys SW2 and SW.
3 each Rextanby key R/5T-BY
operate. The controller Q +o, which receives the input from the R/5T-BY keys of the input key groups sw2 and SW3, controls the drivers 〇 and Q . Driver Q11. Q12 is controller Q
Based on the command from In, the glue motors RM of the cassette drive mechanisms MA and MB are rotated in the forward direction, the capstan motor CM is rotated, and the plunger PL is further driven to put the pinch roller and capstan in a non-contact state to record. Set to standby state.

The forward key FWD of the input key group SW3 is operated for the cassette drive mechanisms MA and MB in a recording standby state, and the output of the forward key FWD is input to the controller Q10. The controller Q10 determines that the forward key FWD of the cassette drive mechanism MB in the recording standby state has been operated, and controls the driver Q12. Driver Q1
2 drives the plunger PL in response to a command from the controller Q10 so that the pinch roller and capstan come into contact with each other.

As a result, the cassette drive mechanism MB starts recording the A side of the loaded cassette tape. When the recording of side A is completed, the controller Q In switches to the cassette drive mechanism MB.
Record in reverse and finish recording on side B.

When the cassette drive mechanism MB finishes recording the cassette tape, the controller Q+o receives the detection signal of the end of the 8th side of the cassette tape and controls the driver Q11. The driver Q11 drives the plunger PL, puts the cassette drive mechanism MA in the recording standby state into the recording state, and starts recording the A side of the loaded cassette tape. A
When the recording of the side B is completed, the controller Q 10 reversely records the cassette drive mechanism MB, and ends the recording of the B side.

After the recording of the B side is completed, the controller Q10 receives the detection signal of the end of the cassette tape.The cassette drive mechanism MB
control and perform a stop. The cassette drive mechanism MA was thus in a recording standby state.

The cassette drive mechanism allows relay recording from MB to MA.

Similarly, when each cassette drive mechanism MASMB is set to recording standby and the forward key FWD of the key group SW2 is operated, the controller Q12 first switches the cassette drive mechanism MB to the Controls drivers 〇 and Q so that relay recording is performed on the installed cassette tape.

In this way, relay recording can be performed from either direction of the cassette drive mechanism MASMB, and features can be improved. Furthermore, since both mechanisms must be in a recording standby state before relay recording, erroneous erasure due to relay recording can be prevented.

Relay recording controller Q I explained in Figure 1 above
The processing of n can be realized by the flowchart shown in FIG.

The controller Q+o determines in step S1 that there is an input of the REX standby key R/5T-BY of the key human power group SW2, and in step S2
It is determined that W3's Rextanbaiki R/5T-BY has been input. In this state, when the forward key FWD of the input key group SW2 is operated, the controller Q In changes to M.
When the routine A is processed and the forward key FWD of the input key group SW3 is operated, the routine MB is processed. When the forward key FWD of the input key group sw2 is operated in step S3, the process advances to step S4. In step S4, it is determined whether the cassette drive mechanism MA is in a recording standby state, and if it is not in a recording standby state, the cassette drive mechanism MA is set in a playback state, and if it is in a recording standby state, the process proceeds to step S5 and the driver Q11 is driven to standby. Release the condition and start recording side A of the cassette tape. The end of side A is determined in step S6, and if it is the end, the driver Q11 is driven in step S7 to start reverse recording of the cassette drive mechanism MA. When recording of side B starts, the end of the tape of side B is determined in step S8.

If it is the end, proceed to step S and force set drive mechanism MA
stop. Next, the process proceeds to step S10, where it is determined whether the command from the mode setting circuit SW1 is the relay mode by the relay key Sa, and if it is not the relay mode, the cassette drive mechanism MA is stopped. If it is the relay mode, the driver Q12 is driven in step S11 to release the recording standby state of the cassette drive mechanism MB and start recording. Thereafter, the same routine as steps 86 to S in the recording operation of the cassette drive mechanism MA is performed, and the recording of the cassette tape loaded in the cassette drive mechanism MB is completed.

From step S2, forward key FW of key human power group SW3
If D is operated, the process advances to step S12.

Steps 812 to S2o are performed when the forward key FWD of the key group SW2 is operated and when the cassette drive mechanism M
The order of A and MB is reversed.

That is, after the recording is completed on the cassette tape mounted on the cassette drive mechanism MB, recording begins on the cassette tape mounted on the cassette drive mechanism.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the relay recording device for a double cassette tape recorder of the present invention, relay recording is possible from any direction with respect to the cassette tapes attached to the two cassette drive mechanisms. . Furthermore, during relay recording, both cassette drive mechanisms must be in a recording standby state, which prevents erroneous erasure.
