  The traverse chassis 101 has a bracket 104 and a bracket 120 made of synthetic resin fixed to the back surface. The bracket 104 supports both ends of the main shaft 109 as a guide member, and the bracket 120 supports both ends of the auxiliary shaft 110 as a guide member. The main shaft 109 and the sub shaft 110 are arranged in parallel to each other and in parallel to the traverse chassis 101, and guide the movement of the optical pickup unit 108 on which the optical pickup H is mounted in the radial direction (X1 direction) of the compact disc 100. The bracket 104 further includes a tracking motor 105 as a driving source, a reduction gear train 106 that transmits the driving force of the tracking motor 105, and a feed screw shaft that rotates by the driving force of the tracking motor 105 transmitted by the reduction gear train 106. 107. A female screw member 116 supported by the optical pickup unit 108 via a leaf spring 115 is screwed to the feed screw shaft 107. The bracket 104 fixes the spindle motor 103 to the pedestal portion 104a. The drive shaft of the spindle motor 103 protrudes on the surface side of the traverse chassis 101, and the turntable 102 is fixed to the drive shaft.

  A compact disk 100 is mounted on the turntable 102 and is driven to rotate by a spindle motor 103. The optical pickup unit 108 moves from the inner peripheral side to the outer peripheral side of the compact disc 100 by the rotational force of the feed screw 107 when the compact disc 100 rotates, and the objective lens L provided in the optical pickup H changes to the compact disc 100. Laser light is irradiated, and the reflected light is detected by a light receiving element in the optical pickup H to read a signal (information).

Next, the support mechanism of the optical pickup unit 108 on which the optical pickup H is mounted will be described in more detail.
The optical pickup unit 108 is slidably attached to the main shaft 109 through a guide hole 108 a formed on one side of the optical pickup unit 108. One end of the main shaft 109 is inserted into a support hole 104 c of a support body 104 b formed integrally with the bracket 104, and the other end of the main shaft 109 is supported by a support body provided on the bracket 104. On the other side of the optical pickup unit 108, a guide groove 108b that is parallel to the traverse chassis 101 and opens in a direction away from the main shaft 109 (Y1 direction) is formed. The auxiliary shaft 110 is slidably attached to the guide groove 108b.

  The countershaft 110 is supported by a pair of support bodies 121 and 122 that are integrally protruded from the bracket 120 toward the back surface of the traverse chassis 101. As shown in FIG. 11A, one support body 121 is formed with a bag-hole-shaped support hole 123 into which one end portion 110a of the auxiliary shaft 110 is inserted. The support hole 123 has a rectangular opening, and the distance between the inner wall surface 123a and the inner wall surface 123b facing each other in the direction orthogonal to the traverse chassis 101 (Z1 direction) is approximately the same as the diameter of the auxiliary shaft 110. It is the same. That is, the end portion 110a of the auxiliary shaft 110 inserted into the support hole 123 is restrained in the Z1 direction by the inner wall surface 123a and the inner wall surface 123b, and is supported in a light press-fit state. As shown in FIG. 12A, one side inner wall 123c of the support hole 123 is inclined in the Y1 direction. On the inner side of the inclined side inner wall 123c, the auxiliary shaft 110 with the end portion 110a inserted into the support hole 123 is between the mounting position indicated by the solid line and the inclined position indicated by the broken line in FIG. 12A. Further, a rotation allowance space 123e is formed to be able to rotate by a predetermined angle θ. As shown in FIG. 11B, the support body 122 has a recess 124 that opens in the Y1 direction so that the other end 110b of the auxiliary shaft 110 can be inserted in a direction approaching the main shaft 109 (the direction opposite to the Y1 direction). Is formed. The distance between the inner wall surface 124a and the inner wall surface 124b facing each other in the Z1 direction of the recess 124 is substantially the same as the diameter of the auxiliary shaft 110. That is, the end portion 110b of the auxiliary shaft 110 inserted into the concave portion 124 is supported in a light press-fitted state by restraining the Z1 direction by the inner wall surface 124a and the inner wall surface 124b.

  After the end portion 110 a is inserted into the support hole 123, the auxiliary shaft 110 is inserted into the recess portion 124. At this time, the auxiliary shaft 110 hits the side inner wall 123d of the support hole 123 and hits the side inner wall 124c of the recess 124, and is positioned in a direction parallel to the traverse chassis 101, and the inner wall surfaces 123a and 123b of the support hole 123 are also positioned. And the inner wall surfaces 124a and 124b of the recess 124 are positioned in the Z1 direction.

  The end 110b of the countershaft 110 that is inserted into the recess 124 and positioned is a mounting hole in which a male screw portion 125b of a set screw 125 including a columnar positioning head 125a and a male screw portion 125b is formed in the bracket 120. By being inserted into 120a and screwed into a female screw hole 101c (see FIG. 12B) formed in the traverse chassis 101, it is prevented from hitting the positioning head 125a of the set screw 125 and coming out of the recess 124 in the Y1 direction. Is done.

  According to the conventional apparatus, the positioning head 125a of the set screw 125 and the side inner wall 124c of the recess 124 constrain the end 110b of the auxiliary shaft 110 so as not to move in the Y1 direction. However, the positioning accuracy of the auxiliary shaft 110 in the direction parallel to the traverse chassis 101 is lower than the positioning accuracy in the Z1 direction, and the auxiliary shaft 110 is located between the inner wall 124c of the recess 124 and the positioning head 125a. There may be a slight displacement in the Y1 direction. That is, rattling may occur. If the sub-shaft 110 has a backlash, the parallelism between the main shaft 109 and the sub-shaft 110 cannot be secured, and abnormal noise and vibration are generated when the optical pickup unit 108 moves in the radial direction of the compact disc 100.

An inclined portion 26b that moves from a locking position B1 (position shown in FIG. 8B) on 17a to a retracted position B2 (position shown in FIG. 6B) that is separated from the insertion path 17a is integrally provided.

  The portions of the locking portion 26a and the inclined portion 26b of the auxiliary shaft retaining claw portion 26-1 are formed so that the cross section in the axial direction is substantially a right triangle. The distance between the locking portion 26a and the auxiliary shaft restricting portion 28 is formed to be the same as the length of the auxiliary shaft 17 in the longitudinal direction. The locking portion 26a is slightly inclined so as to move away from the bottom surface 10g of the traverse chassis 10 toward the back of the apparatus so as to urge the auxiliary shaft 17 toward the auxiliary shaft restricting portion 28 in the axial direction. Thereby, the countershaft 17 is fixed between the latching | locking part 26a and the countershaft control part 28 without rattling. The inclined portion 26b is inclined so as to approach the bottom surface 10g of the traverse chassis 10 as it goes to the back side of the apparatus.

  In the vicinity of the auxiliary shaft insertion hole 10 c of the auxiliary shaft retaining claw portion 26-1, a protruding portion 26 c that protrudes in the direction intersecting with the insertion direction 51 (for example, the orthogonal direction) is formed. Further, a screw hole 10e is formed in the thickness direction of the apparatus in the vicinity of the protruding portion 26c of the rib 10a. The screw hole 10e is formed such that a restriction screw 29 having a flange portion 29a, which is an example of a retraction restriction member, can be inserted. The flange portion 29 a of the restriction screw 29 protrudes radially in the cross direction (for example, the orthogonal direction) with respect to the axial direction of the restriction screw 29. The length in the radial direction 50 of the flange portion 29a of the restriction screw 29 is formed to be longer than the distance between the protruding portion 26c and the screw hole 10e, as shown in FIG. 7C.

Next, the attaching operation of the sub shaft 17 will be described.
First, the other end of the sub shaft 17 is inserted into the sub shaft insertion hole 10c from the outside of the apparatus, that is, from the outside of the rib 10a of the traverse chassis 10, and the other end of the sub shaft 17 is inserted into the sub shaft retaining claw portion 26-1. It is brought into contact with the inclined portion 26b. At this time, the locking portion 26a of the countershaft retaining claw portion 26-1 is positioned at the locking position B1. In this state, when the auxiliary shaft 17 is further pushed in the insertion direction 51, the auxiliary shaft retaining claw portion 26-1 moves away from the bottom surface 10g of the traverse chassis 10 as the inclined portion 26b is pushed to the other end portion of the auxiliary shaft 17. As shown in FIG. 6B, the locking portion 26a of the countershaft retaining claw portion 26-1 moves from the locking position B1 to the retracted position B2, as shown in FIG. 6B.

At this time, the distance between the locking portion 26a and the auxiliary shaft restricting portion 28 is formed so as to have the same length as the length of the auxiliary shaft 17 in the longitudinal direction. As shown in FIG. 9B, the locking portion 26 a returns to the insertion path 17 a of the sub shaft 17 by the elastic force and comes into contact with one end portion of the sub shaft 17. As a result, the countershaft 17 is fixed between the locking portion 26a and the countershaft restricting portion 28 without rattling, and the bottom shaft 10g of the traverse chassis 10 is supported by the elastic force of the countershaft retaining claw portion 26-1. It is energized in the approaching direction. Therefore, the auxiliary shaft 17 is fixed so as not to rotate around the axis by the locking portion 26a, the auxiliary shaft retaining claw portion 26-1, and the auxiliary shaft restricting portion 28.

  In this state, as shown in FIGS. 7C and 8A to 8C, the restriction screw 29 is screwed into the screw hole 10e, and the flange portion 29a of the restriction screw 29 is connected to the protruding portion 26c of the auxiliary shaft retaining claw portion 26-1.

  As described above, the mounting operation of the auxiliary shaft 17 is completed. The configuration and the mounting operation of the main shaft retaining claw portion 26-2 are the same as those of the auxiliary shaft retaining claw portion 26-1, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

  6A and 7A to 7C show a portion of the traverse chassis 10 that faces the first main shaft retaining claw 26-2 and a portion that faces the first auxiliary shaft retaining claw 26-1. Thus, a through hole 10f into which an insertion member such as a flathead screwdriver can be inserted is provided. Further, as shown in FIG. 9B or 9C, the main shaft restricting portion 24 or the sub shaft restricting portion 28 is inclined upward in FIG. 9B or 9C toward the downstream side in the insertion direction 51, and the main shaft 16 or the sub shaft An inclined surface 24a or an inclined surface 28a that forms a gap into which an insertion member such as a flat-blade screwdriver can be inserted is provided between the distal end surface on the downstream side of the 17 insertion direction 51. When removing the main shaft 16 or the sub shaft 17, the regulating screw 29 is removed, and the insertion member is inserted into the through hole 10 f from the outside of the apparatus, so that the first main shaft retaining claw 26-2 or the first sub shaft retaining claw 26-1 is moved from the locking position B1 to the retracted position B2, and is formed by the inclined surface 24a or the inclined surface 28a and the distal end surface and the shaft on the downstream side in the insertion direction 51 of the main shaft 16 or the sub shaft 17 By inserting another insertion member into the gap between the restricting portion 24 or the countershaft restricting portion 28 and pushing the distal end surface of the main shaft 16 or the subshaft 17 in the insertion direction 51 in the direction opposite to the insertion direction 51, the main shaft 16 or the countershaft 17 can be easily removed.

FIG. 9L is a sectional view taken on line GG on the side of the auxiliary shaft 17 and is a partial sectional view showing a contact state between the auxiliary shaft 17 and the guide groove 14d. FIG. 9M is an HH cross-sectional view on the second countershaft 17 side, and is a partial cross-sectional view showing a state in which the subshaft 17 is press-fitted and held in the second countershaft holding hole 27. 9D to 9M, X represents a direction orthogonal to the radial direction 50 and from the main shaft 16 toward the sub shaft 17, Y represents a direction opposite to the insertion direction 51, and Z represents the optical pickup unit 14 in the optical disk. 2 shows the direction of reading information written on the optical disc 2 or writing information on the optical disc 2, that is, the direction from the back side of the apparatus toward the front side of the apparatus (from the support substrate 6 to the lid 7). It is assumed that the optical disc apparatus 1 is placed horizontally (placed with the + Z direction as the upper side).

  As shown in FIG. 9D, the first main shaft holding hole 21 is formed so that the main shaft 16 can be press-fitted and held by an inner surface 21a. The inner surface 21a of the first main shaft holding hole 21 has a concave portion 21b facing the + Z direction side 16b-1 of the outer peripheral region 16b of the main shaft 16, and a concave portion facing the + X direction side 16b-2 of the outer peripheral region 16b of the main shaft 16. 21c is formed. The recesses 21b and 21c form gaps S21b and S21c between the first spindle holding hole 21 and the spindle 16. As shown in FIG. 9G, the guide hole 14 c has a diameter that is slightly larger than the diameter of the main shaft 16. In the optical disk apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention, since the lid 7 is placed on the upper side, gravity acts on the optical pickup unit 14 in the −Z direction, and the guide hole 14 c is on the + Z direction side of the outer peripheral region of the main shaft 16. It abuts at 16b-1.

  As shown in FIG. 9J, the second spindle holding hole 23 is formed so that the spindle 16 can be press-fitted and held by the inner surface 23a. The inner surface 23a of the second spindle holding hole 23 is formed to be held by four holding areas 23b located on the ± X direction side and the ± Z direction side of the outer peripheral area 16b of the spindle 16, respectively. In the region other than the holding region 23b of the inner surface 23a of the second main shaft holding hole 23, a recess 23c is provided so that a gap S23c is formed between the second main shaft holding hole 23 and the main shaft 16. By forming the gap S23c, the main shaft 16 can be easily inserted. The spindle insertion hole 10b, the first spindle holding hole 21, the guide hole 14c, and the second spindle holding hole 23 are provided in parallel to the axial direction.

  As shown in FIG. 9K, the first countershaft holding hole 25 is formed so that the subshaft 17 can be press-fitted and held by the inner surface 25a. The inner surface 25a of the first countershaft holding hole 25 has a recess 25b facing the + Z direction side 17b-1 of the outer peripheral area 17b of the subshaft 17, and a + X direction side 17b-2 of the outer peripheral area 17b of the subshaft 17 Opposing recesses 25c are formed. The recesses 25b and 25c form gaps S25b and S25c between the first countershaft holding hole 25 and the countershaft 17. As shown in FIG. 9L, the guide groove 14d is formed in a semicircular shape, and the linear distance between the end portions of the inner surface of the guide groove 14d is slightly larger than the diameter of the auxiliary shaft 17. In the optical disc apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention, since the lid 7 is placed on the upper side, gravity acts on the optical pickup unit 14 in the −Z direction, and the guide groove 14d is + Z of the outer peripheral region 17b of the auxiliary shaft 17. It abuts on the direction side 17b-1.

  As shown in FIG. 9M, the second countershaft holding hole 27 is formed so that the subshaft 17 can be press-fitted and held by the inner surface 27a. The inner surface 27a of the second countershaft holding hole 27 is formed so as to be held by four holding areas 27b located on the ± X direction side and the ± Z direction side of the outer peripheral area 17b of the subshaft 17, respectively. In the region other than the holding region 27b of the inner surface 27a of the second countershaft holding hole 27, a recess 27c is provided so that a gap S27c is formed between the second shaft 17 and the subshaft 17. By forming this gap S27c, the auxiliary shaft 17 can be easily inserted. The counter shaft insertion hole 10c, the first counter shaft holding hole 25, the guide groove 14d, and the second counter shaft holding hole 27 are provided in parallel to the axial direction.

  When the optical disc apparatus 1 is placed with the lid 7 facing upward, gravity acts in the −Z direction, so that the main shaft 16 and the sub shaft 17 receive the weight of the optical pickup unit 14 respectively, and FIG. As shown in 9L, the + Z direction side 16b-1 of the outer peripheral region 16b contacts the guide hole 14c and the guide groove 14d. At this time, if there is a scratch on the + Z direction side 16b-1 of the outer peripheral area 16b of the main shaft 16 or the + Z direction side 17b-1 of the outer peripheral area 17b of the auxiliary shaft 17, the movement load of the optical pickup 14 changes, and Reading may fail or abnormal noise may occur. When the main shaft 16 is assembled, the other end is first press-fitted into the inner surface 21a of the first main shaft holding hole 21, and in this state, the second main shaft holding hole 21 is rubbed against the inner surface 21a of the first main shaft holding hole 21. 23, the outer peripheral area 16b is easily damaged. Similarly, at the time of assembly, the other end of the countershaft 17 is first press-fitted into the inner surface 25a of the first countershaft holding hole 25 and is pushed into the inner surface 27a of the second countershaft holding hole 27 in this state. The outer peripheral region 17b is easily damaged.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, the recess 21b is provided in the inner surface 21a of the first spindle holding hole 21 to make a clearance S21b, so that the + Z direction side 16b-1 of the outer peripheral region 16b of the spindle 16 contacts the inner surface 21a. Do not touch. Accordingly, the + Z direction side 16b-1 of the outer peripheral region 16b of the main shaft 16 is not damaged. Similarly, since the concave portion 25b is provided in the inner surface 25a of the first countershaft holding hole 25 and the gap S25b is formed, the + Z direction side 17b-1 of the outer peripheral region 17b of the subshaft 17 does not contact the inner surface 25a. Accordingly, the + Z direction side 17b-1 of the outer peripheral region 17b of the auxiliary shaft 17 is not damaged.

  In the above description, the optical disk device 1 is horizontally placed. However, the optical disk device 1 may be vertically placed (placed with the −X direction as the upper side). In this case, since gravity acts on the optical pickup unit 14 in the + X direction, the + X direction side 16b-2 of the outer peripheral region 16b of the main shaft 16 and the + X direction side 17b-2 of the outer peripheral region 17b of the auxiliary shaft 17 may be damaged. is there.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, the recess 21c is provided in the inner surface 21a of the first main shaft holding hole 21 so as to leave a clearance S21c, so that the + X direction side 16b-2 of the outer peripheral region 16b of the main shaft 16 contacts the inner surface 21a. Do not touch. Therefore, the + X direction side 16b-2 of the outer peripheral region 16b of the main shaft 16 is not damaged. Similarly, since the concave portion 25c is provided in the inner surface 25a of the first countershaft holding hole 25 and the clearance S25c is formed, the + X direction side 17b-2 of the outer peripheral region 17b of the subshaft 17 does not contact the inner surface 25a. Therefore, the + X direction side 17b-2 of the outer peripheral region 17b of the auxiliary shaft 17 is not damaged.

  The recess formed in the inner surface 21a of the first spindle holding hole 21 is provided so that a gap is formed between the spindle 16 and the outer peripheral area 16b on the side that supports the optical pickup unit 14 so as to be slidable. It only has to be done. Similarly, a gap is formed between the recess formed in the inner surface 25a of the first countershaft holding hole 25 and the outer peripheral area 17b of the subshaft 17 on the side that supports the optical pickup unit 14 so as to be slidable. What is necessary is just to be provided. For example, when the disk device 1 is limited to the horizontal orientation, only the recesses 21b and 25b may be provided. Further, when the disk device 1 is limited to the vertical installation, only the recesses 21c and 25b may be provided.

  Further, when there is a possibility that the disk device 1 is placed in both the −X direction and the + Z direction, as shown in FIG. 9E, the outer periphery of the main shaft 16 is formed on the inner surface 21 a of the first main shaft holding hole 21. A recess 21d facing the -Z direction side 16b-3 of the region 16b and a recess 21e facing the -X direction side 16b-4 of the outer peripheral region 16b of the main shaft 16 are further formed to provide gaps S21d and S21e. Also good. In this case, the holding area 21f in which the inner surface 21a of the first spindle holding hole 21 holds the spindle 16 and the holding area 23b in which the inner face 23a of the second spindle holding hole 23 holds the spindle 16 are the spindle 16 In order to disperse the stress applied to the main shaft 16, it is preferable that the phases are different around the axis of the main shaft 16. For example, as shown in FIGS. 9E and 9J, it is preferable that the holding region 21f and the holding region 23b have a phase difference of about 45 degrees.

  Further, if the opening angle of the recess formed in the inner surface 21a of the first spindle holding hole 21 with respect to the center of the first spindle holding hole 21 is narrow, scratches on the + Z direction side 16b-1 of the outer peripheral region 16b of the spindle 16 will be caused. The sticky area becomes large. For this reason, it is preferable to secure an opening angle of the recess formed in the inner surface 21a of the first spindle holding hole 21 with respect to the center of the first spindle holding hole 21 by a predetermined angle or more.

  For example, when the diameter of the main shaft 16 is set to 3 mm and the diameter of the first main shaft holding hole 21 is set to 2.992 mm, the press-fitting allowance of the main shaft 16 in the first main shaft holding hole 21 is 0.004 mm, that is, 4 μm. Therefore, in this case, the height of the scratch on the surface of the main shaft 16 caused by press-fitting the main shaft 16 into the first main shaft holding hole 21 is 4 μm at the maximum. On the other hand, when the diameter of the guide hole 14c of the moving base 14b is set to 3.04 mm, which is slightly larger than the diameter of the main shaft 16, the gap between the main shaft 16 and the guide hole 14c is as shown in FIG. 9H. The concave portion formed in the inner surface 21a of the holding hole 21 is 0.005 mm, that is, 5 μm at a position corresponding to an opening angle of 83.3 degrees with respect to the center of the main shaft 16. Therefore, if the opening angle is 83.3 degrees or more, the gap between the main shaft 16 and the guide hole 14c is larger than the height of the scratch on the surface of the main shaft 16, so that even if the surface of the main shaft 16 is damaged, The scratch does not contact the guide hole 14c. Therefore, even if the optical pickup unit 14 moves in the radial direction 50, the movement load does not change, and reading of the optical disk does not fail or abnormal noise does not occur.

  In addition, if the opening angle of the recess formed in the inner surface 21 a of the first spindle holding hole 21 with respect to the center of the first spindle holding hole 21 is too large, the spindle 16 is sufficient by the inner surface 21 a of the first spindle holding hole 21. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9F, the opening angle is preferably set to 111.6 degrees or less. When the diameters of the main shaft 16, the first main shaft holding hole 21 and the guide hole 14c are set in the same manner as described above and the opening angle is set to 111.6 degrees, the gap between the main shaft 16 and the guide hole 14c is As shown in FIG. 9I, it is 0.0086 mm, that is, 8.6 μm. That is, the gap between the main shaft 16 and the guide hole 14c is larger than the height (4 μm) of the scratch on the surface of the main shaft 16, so that even if there is a scratch on the surface of the main shaft 16, the scratch contacts the guide hole 14c. There is nothing.

Therefore, the opening angle of the recess formed in the inner surface 21a of the first spindle holding hole 21 with respect to the center of the first spindle holding hole 21 is within the range of 83.3 degrees to 111.6 degrees as described above. Preferably it is formed.
In addition, since the recessed part formed in the inner surface 25a of the 1st countershaft holding hole 25 is also the same as the recessed part formed in the inner surface 25a of the 1st countershaft holding hole 25, description is abbreviate | omitted.

  According to the embodiment of the present invention, the first and second auxiliary shaft holding holes 23 and 27 for holding both end portions of the auxiliary shaft 16 on the inner surface and the one end portion of the auxiliary shaft 17 positioned at the holding position A1 are provided. The locking portion 26a that can be locked at the locking position B1 and the inclined portion that moves the locking portion 26a from the locking position B1 to the retracted position B2 by applying a pressing force at the other end of the countershaft 17. 26b, and when the auxiliary shaft 17 is held at the holding position A1, the main shaft retaining claw portion 26-2 for returning the locking portion 26a from the retracted position B2 to the locking position B1 by its own elastic force. Since the auxiliary shaft retaining claw 26-1 is provided, the auxiliary shaft 17 that guides the optical pickup unit 14 can be fixed to the traverse chassis 10 without rattling. Similarly, the main shaft 16 can be fixed to the traverse chassis 10 without rattling. Further, since the auxiliary shaft 17 is fixed to the restriction screw 29 via the auxiliary shaft retaining claw portion 26-1, when the restriction screw 29 is screwed into the screw hole 10e, it receives the force and rotates around the axis. I don't have to. Similarly, the main shaft 16 does not rotate around the axis.

As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention has been described, this invention is not limited to said each embodiment, A various deformation | transformation is possible.
For example, in the above embodiment, the movement of the locking portion 26a to the retracted position is restricted by screwing (screwing) the restriction screw 29 having the flange portion 29a into the screw hole 10e, but this is not restrictive. Any member can be used as long as it can restrict the movement of the locking portion 26a to the retracted position.
In the above embodiment, the main shaft 16 and the sub shaft 17 are configured to be locked and held by press-fitting. However, the main shaft retaining claw portion 26-2 and the sub-shaft retaining claw portion 26-1 are not required to be press-fitted. Thus, the main shaft 16 and the sub shaft 17 can be fixed to the traverse chassis 10 without rattling.
