Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus, and in particular, to a tape path thereof.

Conventional technology Pull out magnetic tape from a conventional tape cassette,
In a tape loading device of a video tape recorder that records or reproduces a video signal by wrapping the tape around a rotating head cylinder, one or more fixed posts are provided between an outlet of the rotating head cylinder and a capstan to provide a tape path. Has formed.

For example, Japanese Patent Application No. 1-267328 has first, second, and third loading roller posts 91, 92, and 93, as shown in FIG. When the magnetic tape 94 is pulled out of the rotary head cylinder 96 and wound around the rotary head cylinder 96, the magnetic tape 94 tilted and drawn out of the rotary head cylinder 96 by the second loading roller post 92 passes through the first loading roller post 91, and is fixed at the fixed tilt post 97. Then, the tape twist was corrected and converted to a normal horizontal traveling path. Thereafter, the tape path guided to the audio control head 98 and the fixed post 99 to the capstan 100 was formed.

In the above configuration, since the fixed inclined post 97 and the fixed post 99 are provided on the path from the outlet of the rotary head cylinder 96 to the capstan 100, the tape running load is significantly increased, and the capstan The previous tape tension increases,
The capstan cannot be reduced in size and weight, and tape damage is likely to occur.

This is because the roller post rotates the roller that guides the magnetic tape, so the guide of the magnetic tape is performed smoothly, whereas the fixed post has a member that guides the magnetic tape fixed to the chassis, This is because the frictional force with the magnetic tape is increased, which greatly affects the tape position.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problem.The tape path from the outlet of the rotary head cylinder to the passage through the capstan is made up of only roller posts without a fixed post, and the tape running load is significantly reduced. It is an object of the present invention to provide a magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus in which a tape position before a stun is significantly reduced.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus of the present invention is provided with a rotating head cylinder provided substantially vertically to a chassis, and pulled out from the rotating head cylinder,
To guide the magnetic tape, a take-up loading roller post having the same inclination of the pulled-out magnetic tape, and a magnetic tape provided outside the tape cassette position and pulled out by the take-up loading roller post are provided. The take-up side loading roller post is provided with a shapstan that is inclined at the same or almost the same as the take-up side loading roller post so as to be driven in the same posture, and the fixed path is eliminated from the take-up side loading roller post to the capstan to eliminate the tape path. It is formed.

Operation According to the above configuration, the tape path from the rotary head cylinder to the passage through the capstan can be formed only by the roller post without using the fixed post, so that the tape running load can be significantly reduced, and therefore the tape tension before the capstan can be reduced. Can be greatly reduced. As described above, the tape position before the capstan is lowered, so that the required torque of the capstan is reduced,
The capstan can be made smaller and lighter, and the pressure of the pinch roller can be reduced, and the pinch roller can be made smaller and the pressure bonding mechanism can be made smaller and thinner.
Further, the capstan bearing and the pinch roller bearing can be reduced in size. Further, tape damage is less likely to occur due to a decrease in tape tension.

In addition, since the rotating head cylinder is provided substantially vertically, the inclination of the loading roller post on the winding side can be configured to be gentler than that of the conventional one, so that the tape path from the loading roller post on the winding side directly to the capstan is not required. Can be easily realized.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view illustrating a tape path of a magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a main part of the tape path, and FIGS. FIGS. 5 and 6 are perspective views illustrating the structure of the loading roller post and the loading guide before and after the tape loading of the reproducing apparatus.

1 to 4, reference numeral 1 denotes a chassis, and 2 denotes a tape cassette mounted on the chassis 1. Inside the tape cassette 2, a supply reel 3 and a take-up reel 4 are provided. When the tape cassette 2 is mounted on the chassis 1, notches 5, 6,
The supply-side loading roller post 8 and the tension post 9 and the first and second winding-side loading roller posts 10 and 11 and the pinch roller 12 are inserted into the magnetic tape 13 at 7, respectively. Reference numerals 14 and 15 denote supply boats and take-up boats on which the supply-side loading roller posts 8 and the first and second take-up loading roller posts 10 and 11 are mounted.

The take-up loading guide 18 is configured to be higher at the position, and to be lower at the loading completion position. The rotary head cylinder 19 is installed substantially perpendicular to the chassis 1, and the supply-side loading roller post 8 moves the supply-side reel 3 when the supply-side boat 14 moves along the supply-side loading guide 17.
The magnetic tape 13 pulled out of the rotary head cylinder 19
As shown in FIG. 2, the winding roller 10 is wound diagonally upward to the left, and the winding-side loading roller post 10 is wound when the winding-side boat 15 moves along the winding-side loading guide 18. The magnetic tape 13 drawn from the side reel 4 is wound around the rotary head cylinder 19 obliquely downward to the right. At this time, the supply-side loading roller post 8
Since the supply side loading guide 17 has a gradually increasing slope, the loading completion position is inclined slightly backward at the loading completion position, and the first and second winding side loading roller posts 1
Numerals 0 and 11 are inclined slightly forward due to the gradually decreasing slope of the winding-side loading guide 18. When using a tilted rotary head cylinder as in the past,
Although the supply-side loading roller post may have a substantially vertical posture, the take-up-side loading roller post needs to have a significantly inclined posture, whereas the supply-side loading roller post 8 is already inclined in the present embodiment. The winding-side loading roller posts 10, 11 may have a gentle inclination. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, the supply side loading roller post 8 causes the rotating head cylinder 19 to rotate.
The magnetic tape 13 supplied to the rotating head cylinder 19 is guided obliquely downward from the upper part of the rotary head cylinder 19, and at the outlet side of the rotary head cylinder 19, the first winding side loading roller post 10 from the lower part gradually turns obliquely upward.

Reference numeral 23 denotes an auxiliary roller post which moves in conjunction with the pinch roller 12. The auxiliary roller post is inserted into the notch 7 of the tape cassette 2 before loading starts, and moves together with the pinch roller 12 when loading is completed, so that the capstan 20 and the pinch roller The magnetic tape 13 run by the guide 12 is guided toward the fixed inclined post 24. The magnetic tape 13 sent from the second take-up loading roller post 11 through the capstan 20 and the auxiliary roller post 23 in the same forward inclined posture is fixed to the chassis 1 in front of the tape cassette 2 by being inclined and fixed. The post 24 corrects the torsion of the tape at the time of changing from the oblique path to the horizontal traveling path, and the tape is wound on the take-up reel 4 of the tape cassette 2. Reference numeral 25 denotes a capstan motor for driving the capstan 20. The capstan motor 25 is attached to the chassis 1 at an angle. Since the capstan 20 is provided outside the mounting position of the tape cassette 2, the chassis 1 It can be easily realized without increasing the thickness.

With the above configuration, when the tape loading operation is completed, the magnetic tape 13 is moved to the supply reel 3, the tension post 9, the fixed inclined post 26, and the inclined post on the supply boat 14, as shown in FIGS. 16 and feeding side loading roller post 8, rotating head cylinder 1

In particular, in the tape path from the winding-side loading roller post 11 to the auxiliary roller post 23 via the capstan 20,
The magnetic tape 13 remains in the position where the magnetic tape 13 is pulled out from the rotary head cylinder 19 by the winding-side loading roller posts 10 and 11, and without changing the oblique path by an inclined post or the like in the middle of the two roller posts 11. , 23 alone.

Next, a more detailed loading operation by the above mechanism will be described. 9 to 13 are explanatory diagrams showing the state of the gear group during the loading operation process. 3 and 9 show a state before the loading operation is started. At this time, the supply-side boat 14 and the take-up-side boat 15 are located at the unloading positions of the start ends of the supply-side loading guide 17 and the take-up-side loading guide 18, and as shown in FIG.
The tension post 9, the supply-side loading roller post 8, and the inclined post 16 are inserted into the notch 5 of the tape cassette 2, and the first and second winding-side loading roller posts 10, 11 are inserted into the notch 6. , And lever 60
Is pushed out in the direction of the arrow (C) by the cam follower 62, so that the plate 65, the lever 68, the bell crank
The pinch roll 12 is most retracted with respect to the capstan 20 via 72, and the arms 82, 74, 78 which operate in conjunction therewith.
As a result, the inclined roller post 23 retreats similarly to the pinch roller 12, and both the pinch roller 12 and the inclined roller post 23 are inserted into the cutout 7 of the tape cassette 2 as shown in FIG. Here, the supply-side boat 14 is supported by the supply-side loading guide 17 only by the rear-end holding portion 57 due to the shape of the starting end of the supply-side loading guide 17, and the front-end holding portion 56
Is detached from the guide 17. The take-up boat 15 also has a rear end holding portion 59 which engages with the take-up loading guide 18 due to the shape of the starting end of the take-up loading guide 18 and a receiving table 18a shown in FIG. The front end holding portion 58 is separated from the winding-side loading guide 18 by being supported as indicated by a chain line.

With the start of the loading operation, in FIG. 9, the cam gear 34 rotates clockwise, and the intermittent gear 36
36a enters the first missing tooth portion 40a of the winding side ring gear 39 and meshes with the tooth portion 40. The rotation of the intermittent gear 36 thereafter rotates the winding side ring gear 39 in the direction of the arrow (a). The supply-side ring gear 38 rotates in the direction of the arrow (b) via the pendulum gear 43 and the intermediate gear 42 interlocking therewith. When the rear end holding portion 57 of the supply boat shifts from the linear portion at the start end of the supply side loading guide to an arc portion, the front end holding portion 56 engages with the outer periphery of the supply side loading guide 17, and The movement of the side boat 14 is stably performed by three-point support of the drive shaft 53 and the front end and rear end holding portions 56 and 57, and the magnetic tape 13 is pulled out by the supply side loading roller post 8 and wound around the rotary head cylinder 19. Is performed stably and reliably. The same applies to the winding boat 15.

Next, immediately before the loading operation in which the supply-side and take-up-side boats 14, 15 abut against the stoppers 86, 87 in FIG. 5, the intermittent gear 36 of the cam gear 34 has a tooth end as shown in FIG. When the portion 36b separates from the second missing tooth portion 40b of the winding side ring gear 39, the portion 36b does not mesh with the tooth portion 40.
At this time, the end cam portions 51a, 51b fixed to the pendulum gear 43
When the tetra arm 48 is urged by the spring 49, the phase engages with the slope portions of the mountain-shaped convex portions 50a and 50b formed on the arms 48a and 48b, and the pendulum gear 43 is in a loading operation. It is designed to be in a position where it is forced to rotate in the same clockwise direction. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11, when the intermittent gear 36 is disengaged from the tooth portion 40 of the winding ring gear 39, the tetra arm 48 urged by the spring 49
43 is further rotated clockwise, and the supply side ring gear 38 and the take-up side ring gear 39 further rotate in the arrow (b) and (b) directions, and the supply-side boat 14 and the take-up boat 15 is pressed by stoppers 86 and 87, respectively, and the position is fixed, and the loading operation is completed. At this time, even if the timing of pressing the stoppers 86 and 87 of the supply boat 14 and the take-up boat 15 is shifted from each other, the pendulum gear 43 is still
By swinging in any direction around the center, the adjustment is achieved.

When the cam gear 34 further rotates clockwise after the loading operation is completed, the cam follower 62 provided on the lever 60 enters the bent cam groove 37b of the cam portion 37, as shown in FIGS. Pull the lever 60 in the direction of arrow (d), rotate the plate 65 clockwise to push out the lever 68, and apply the force of the spring 69 to the bell crank with the pin 70.
72 is rotated counterclockwise to press the pit roller 12 against the capstan 20. At the same time, the arm 82 is pushed to rotate the arm 74 clockwise, and the auxiliary roller post 23 is drawn between the capstan 20 and the inclined post 24 via the arm 78 pivotally supported by the bearing 76 of the arm 74. At this time, the auxiliary roller post 23 completes the stable movement between the capstan 20 and the fixed inclined post 24 by the pin 80 formed on the arm 78 being guided by the groove 81 formed on the arm 82. Then, a gentle oblique path of the magnetic tape 13 from the winding-side loading roller post 11 to the capstan 20 is maintained.

Next, in the unloading operation, in FIG. 12, the cam gear 34 rotates counterclockwise to release the pressing operation of the pinch roller 12, and when the cam gear 34 rotates to the position in FIG. Is the tooth end 36b of the winding side ring gear 3.
9 meshes with the tooth portion 40 by entering the second missing tooth portion 40b,
The take-up side ring gear 39 is rotated in the direction of the arrow (e) of the rotation direction during unloading, and the pendulum gear 43, the intermediate gear
The supply side ring gear 38 is rotated via the arrow 42 in the direction indicated by the arrow (f) in the rotation direction during unloading. The supply-side loading roller post 8 and the take-up-side loading roller posts 10 and 11 are respectively provided with the notches 5 and 6 of the tape cassette 2.
9, the intermittent gear 36 of the cam gear 34
The tooth end 36a is the first toothless part 4 of the supply side ring gear 39.
At 0a, detachment from the tooth portion 40 is possible. At this time, the phase of the end cam portions 51a and 51b fixed to the pendulum gear 43 is such that when the tetra arm 48 is urged by the spring 49,
The slopes of the mountain-shaped projections 50a, 50b formed on the arms 48a, 48b are designed so that the same counterclockwise rotation as in the unloading operation is forced. When the cam gear 34 further rotates counterclockwise, the intermittent gear 36 separates from the tooth portion 40 of the winding-side ring gear 39,
As shown in the figure, the pendulum gear 43 is further forced to rotate counterclockwise through the tetra arm 48 by the spring 49, and the supply side ring gear 38 and the winding side ring gear 39 are further moved in the arrow (F) direction. And rotate in the direction of (e) and supply boat
The take-up boat 15 and the take-up boat 15 are pressed by the start ends of the supply-side loading guide 17 and the take-up loading guide 18, and are fixed at the unload position. In this state, the tape cassette 2 is ejected. Thereafter, the cam gear 34 rotates clockwise, stops at the position shown in FIG. 9, and returns to the initial state.

Effect of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, since the almost vertical rotating head cylinder is used, the inclination of the tape path of the magnetic tape from the rotating head cylinder to the capstan can be configured more gently than the conventional one. This tape path can be formed only by the roller posts. Therefore,
The tape tension at the front of the capstan can be significantly reduced, and the size and weight of the capstan motor can be reduced. Further, the pressing force of the pinch roller can be reduced, and the size of the pinch roller can be reduced, and the size and thickness of the pressing mechanism can be reduced. Further, the tape running load can be reduced due to a drastic decrease in tape tension and a decrease in the pressure force of the pinch roller, thereby reducing tape damage.
