Disk loader

Abstract

A disk loading apparatus is provided which stops disks, even if the disks have different diameters, when disk center holes have been ejected to the substantially same positions out of an apparatus body during the ejection. The disks can be pulled out without soiling a recording surface of the disk. One disk-pass detecting switch detects a pass of the last end of each disk and discriminates sizes of the disks. In addition, a rotation time of a roller after the detection of the pass is controlled depending on disk diameters.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a disk loading device of a storage / playback device using a disk-shaped storage medium such as a CD (hereinafter referred to as a disk). Background technique [0002] Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 show the existing disk loading device. The device includes: a large-diameter disk 1, a small-diameter disk 2, a disk drive roller 3, a disk passing detection switch 4 for detecting the passage of the end of the disk passing on the switch, and a device main body 5. When withdrawing from the magnetic disk, the passing of the magnetic disk is detected by the magnetic disk through the detection switch 4, so that the magnetic disk is stopped at the position shown in Fig. 2 . [0003] Even when both the large-diameter (12 cm) magnetic disk 1 and the small-diameter (8 cm) magnetic disk 2 are used, they can be stopped by the same mechanism regardless of the difference in diameter. As shown in Figure 2, when the large-diameter magnetic disk 1 is ...

Problems solved by technology

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3 , when the central hole of the small-diameter magnetic disk 2 protrudes outside the device main body 5 to make the disk easy to take out, the protrusion amount of the large-diameter magnetic disk 1 will be too large, and the retention under the protruding state will be difficult.
