Problems solved by technology

However, when increasing the height of the system, the system also gradually reaches the limit of storage capacity
In fact, given that the access wells are radially closed and the reading station is located above the system, the gripping and transport system must move vertically through the access wells so that as the height of the stack of trays increases, the access to the disks Time may be extended, especially for trays on the lower tray
Also, possible vibrations in the gripping and conveying system when the height increases

Embodiment Construction

[0020] The following will be described in detail with reference to a CD disk storage system as an example. However, the invention can also be used for other types of data carriers.

[0021] Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a disk library 20 in accordance with the present invention. The library 20 consists of a number of circular carrier trays 22 stacked on top of each other and provided with a circular central opening 24 (see Figures 6a and 6b), in the example shown the number of trays is thirty two. The stack of pallets is supported by a central column 26 extending axially through the opening 24 of the individual pallets.

[0022] Each tray 22 includes a cutout 28 having a circular base and a width greater than the diameter of a CD. This cutout 28 opens in a circular arc at the periphery of the tray 22 . All trays 22 are individually rotatable about central column 26 . Each tray 22 is assigned a parking position in its direction of rotation such that when all trays a...

Abstract

The invention concerns one or several storage devices for storing media, in particular CD's, a recording and reading station, a device for gripping and transferring a series of rotary trays stacked no one another and associated each with a driving device acting on the periphery of the trays to drive the latter in rotation between a stationary position and a disc accessing position. Each tray comprises a notch and when all the trays are located in stationary position the notches define an open channel, which enables the vertical displacement of the transfer device.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a data carrier storage system with automatic access to each data carrier, the system comprising at least one storage device for storing data carriers, a recording and reading station for data carriers, a gripper and transport unit for transporting data carriers between recording and reading stations, in which each storage unit consists of a series of revolving carrier trays stacked on top of each other, carried by a vertical central Individually rotatable drive means acting on the periphery of each carrier tray to rotate the carrier tray between a parking position and an access position, wherein each carrier tray includes a series of storage areas in a horizontal plane and closed outwards , for receiving the data carrier, and an opening aligned with the storage area in a concentric circle around the central column, when all the carrier trays are in their parked positions, their openings are aligned vertically with each other to f...
