Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automatic disc reproducing apparatus that selectively transports and automatically reproduces a plurality of discs according to instructed information.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional disc automatic playback device will be explained below.

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, disc storage cases 3 loaded with a plurality of discs 2 are arranged in two rows in parallel on a disc storage shelf 1, and are held so that the main surfaces of the discs 2 are horizontal. Disc players 6 and 7 for the discs 2 are disposed at the top 4 and bottom 5 of the disc storage shelf 1, respectively, where the discs 2 are stored. The hand section 8 which takes out a designated disc storage case 3 from the disc storage shelf 1 and transfers and loads it into either the disc playback machine 6 or 7 is indicated by the arrow Z.
It is configured to be movable in the up and down directions indicated by 1 and Z2, the left and right directions indicated by arrows X1 and X2, and the front and rear directions indicated by arrows Y1 and Y2. When a music piece to be played is specified by an external controller (not shown), the disc 2 on which the music piece to be played is automatically taken out from the shelf and placed in either the disc player 6 or 7 which is not currently being played. The disc is transported, loaded, and played by a disc player 6 or 7. When the performance is finished, the disc 2 is inserted from the disc playback machines 6 and 7, and the inserted disc 2 is transported and returned to a predetermined position on the disc storage shelf 1.

0004

However, in the conventional configuration described above, the main surface of the disc 2 is stored horizontally and parallel to the disc playback device, which simplifies the overall mechanism of the device. When the disk 2 is stored horizontally, there is a problem in that the disk 2 is warped or deformed due to its own weight.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an automatic disc playback device that prevents warpage and deformation of the disc due to its own weight.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve this object, the automatic disk reproducing apparatus of the present invention has a structure that includes a disk storage shelf that holds and stores the main surfaces of disks vertically.

[0007]

[Operation] This structure keeps the main surface of the disk vertical in the stored state.

[0008]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a disk 1
Disk storage case 16, 1 loaded with 3, 14, 15
7 and 18 are configured such that the main surfaces of disks 13, 14, and 15 are held vertically and stored in disk storage shelves 10, 11, and 12.

Reference numerals 6 and 7 in the figure indicate disc playback machines disposed below the disc storage shelf 10 and above the disc storage shelf 12.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the disk 1
Storage posture of disks 13, 14, 15
Disc storage cases 16 and 17 that hold the main surfaces vertically
, 18, it is possible to prevent the disk from warping or deforming due to its own weight when stored in a horizontal state.

0012

As described above, the present invention provides an excellent automatic disc playback device that prevents warping and deformation of discs due to their own weight by having a disc storage shelf that stores discs with their main surfaces vertical. This is something that can be achieved.
