2 is stored in a plurality of pockets.
1 and a recording/reproducing means (driver) 203 that opens a loading port at a position corresponding to the returned pocket, and also takes out a replaceable recording medium 202 from the pocket and conveys it to the recording/reproducing means 203. , as well as loading the
A transport means 204 is provided for taking out the replaceable recording medium 202 from the recording/reproducing means 203 and returning it to the pocket of the holding and storing means 201. In particular, in the case mentioned here, the holding and storing means 201 is in the form of a stocker with pockets arranged in parallel in the radial direction, and the central axis 20
It is now possible to turn around 7. Then, the conveying means 204 moves the medium 202 in the direction of arrow A, conveying it from the pocket to the recording/reproducing means 203, or vice versa, and sets it. Here, the above-mentioned conveyance means 2
04 is in the form of a slider.

。In such a configuration, when a command is given from the host system to record/reproduce a desired medium, the holding/storage means 201 is rotated and conveyed so that the medium is moved to a position facing the recording/reproducing means 203. The means 204 loads the medium into the recording/reproducing means 203 . In this case, if the recording/reproducing head has a complicated structure, such as in an optical disk drive device, the recording/reproducing means 203 can only handle one side of the recording/reproducing medium even if the recording/reproducing medium is double-sided. When recording or playing back on the other side of the medium, which is the opposite side when loaded, it is unloaded from the recording/playback means 203, and the holding/storage means 2
Return the holding storage means 201 to the 18 pocket.
The pocket containing the corresponding medium is rotated by 0 degrees so that it corresponds to the reversing means 211, and the medium is put into the reversing means 211 via the slider 212, and after being reversed here, it is returned to the pocket again, and it is returned to the above-mentioned state. The operation of returning the data to the recording/reproducing means 203 side is performed. In advance, the holding storage means 201
When loading the medium, if it is known that the required recording/reproducing side of the medium is in the opposite direction, the medium is first reversed by the reversing means 211, and then the medium is loaded into the recording/reproducing means.

個所を中心として反転する反転手段を具備している。(Means for Solving the Problems) Therefore, the present invention provides a holding/storage means for holding and storing a plurality of exchangeable storage media having recording surfaces on both sides, and a recording/storage means for recording/reproducing information on one side of the medium. In an autochanger comprising a reproducing means and a conveying means for conveying the medium between the holding and storing means and the recording/reproducing means, the recording/reproducing means is centered at the loading point of the recording medium. It is equipped with a reversing means for reversing it as follows.

、上記記録・再生手段への記憶媒体の装填までの時間が
短縮でき、応答性が向上できる。(Function) Therefore, depending on the orientation of the storage medium stored with respect to the holding/storage means, the recording/reproducing means itself is reversed so as to correspond to one side of the storage medium to be recorded/reproduced at that time. Therefore, the time from the recording/reproducing command from the host system to the loading of the storage medium into the recording/reproducing means can be shortened, and responsiveness can be improved.

、再生手段１０３に設けた記録／再生ヘッドである。(Example) An example of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to FIG. Here, unlike the conventional example described above, there is no independent reversing means, but instead, the recording/reproducing means 103 is rotated by a reversing shaft 108 centered on the loading position of the storage medium 102.
It can turn 80 degrees. A holding/storage means (stocker) 101 facing this has pockets arranged in parallel in the radial direction, and can be rotated around a rotating shaft 101a. Further, the storage medium 102 is taken out from the pocket corresponding to the recording/reproducing means 103 and the recording/reproducing means 1
A conveying means (slider) 112 for loading the recording/reproducing means 103 is arranged at a position that does not interfere with the reversal of the recording/reproducing means 103. In the figure, reference numeral 106 is a recording/reproducing head provided in the recording/reproducing means 103.

向上する効果が得られる。Therefore, when a recording/reproducing command is issued to a desired medium 102 from the host system, it is first difficult to determine whether the desired recording/reproducing surface is the front or back surface of the recording/reproducing medium 102. If it is the front side (or the back side), the recording/reproducing means 103 is rotated 180 degrees around the axis 108,
If it is the back side (or front side), the above recording and reproducing means 1
03.The holding and storing means 101 is then rotated about its rotation axis 101a so as to move the medium 102 to a position for loading it into the recording/reproducing means 103. In this state, the conveying means 112 loads the medium 102 to the recording/reproducing means 103. Then, the recording/reproducing head 106 performs recording/reproducing. Unloading is performed in the opposite manner to the above, but at this time, the storage medium 102 is ejected without reversing the recording/reproducing means 103, but by changing the control method.
The storage medium 102 may be unloaded after being reversed. In the latter case, the holding/storage means 101 is blurred.
When loading the storage medium 102 into the cut, the front and back sides are reversed from the initial loading. By changing the control method, while the recording/reproducing means 103 is rotating 180 degrees around the shaft 108, the holding and storing means 10 is simultaneously loaded with the corresponding medium 102.
1 to the corresponding position (parallel action body) (effects of the invention) The present invention has been detailed above, and since the front and back sides of the storage medium are selected and the recording and reproducing means themselves are reversed, a separate reversing means is required. The effect of significantly improving access speed can be obtained compared to the case where .
また、このような構成にすることで、記録、再生に標準
的構造の光学的記録、再生手段を採用することができ、
オートチェンジャのコスト低減をはかれる。In addition, with this configuration, it is possible to use optical recording and reproducing means with a standard structure for recording and reproducing.
The cost of autochangers can be reduced.
