Abstract

The invention discloses a method for loading and unloading disks through an expanding and carrying combined type disk gripper. The method comprises S1, in a disk jukebox, a mechanical arm moves to a designated disk cell to open the disk tray of the designated disk cell; S2, the disk gripper expands N disks inside the disk tray through upper-layer tooth pieces and carries the N disks through lower-layer tooth pieces; S3, the disk gripper moves above a target tray, expands the N-1th disk through the upper-layer tooth pieces and enables the Nth disk to fall off inside the target tray through the lower-layer tooth pieces. By taking and placing the disks through an expanding and carrying combined mode, the method for loading and unloading the disks through the expanding and carrying combined type disk gripper expands the application range, achieves the function of gripping the disks in one step and continuously placing down multiple disks and accordingly improves the operating efficiency.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the carrying of optical discs in an optical disc library, in particular to a method for loading and unloading optical discs in the optical disc library by means of a combination of expansion and support. Background technique

[0002] The optical disc library is a mass data storage device that uses standardized optical discs as the data storage medium. The traditional optical disc storage method is to place a disc in a disc case. Due to the small storage capacity and large space occupation of this method, As a result, it is gradually replaced by another storage method, that is, multiple CDs are stacked in a CD box. This new storage method expands the storage capacity of the CD library and saves the space of the CD library, but it also brings some discs. How to grab a specified CD from a plurality of stacked CDs is a difficult problem that must be overcome in this storage method. For this reason, the patent application No. 20121...

Embodiment Construction

[0040] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0041] A combined expansion and supporting disc gripper, the disc gripper includes an expansion part and a supporting part, and the expansion part is used to extend into the central hole of the optical disc and expand on the edge of the central hole of the optical disc, The supporting part is located below the expanding part and is used for supporting the optical disc.

[0042] See Figure 1 to Figure 3, the catcher includes a support frame 1, an upper gear 7, a l...
