In case the main gear rotates once clockwise while the CD
mechanism is not chucking a disc and the tray is open, a series of
movements are performed as follows:
The open tray is closed. Complete closing is followed by UP
movement of the CD mechanism (disc chucking movement).
When the main gear continues rotation, a series of movements to
open the tray is conducted again.
These movements are equivalent to the following actual use
condition; when the tray is open, a disc is loaded on the turntable.
Then the tray is closed to play CD. In this play mode the tray is
opened.
'The reverse movements are performed by rotating the main gear
counterclockwise; when the main gear is rotated once
counterclockwise while the CD mechanism is chucking a disc and
the tray is open, the tray is closed. The DOWN movement of the
CD mechanism and then the tray open movement follows. The
movement to open/close the tray, which does not simply corre-
spond to the rotating direction of the main gear, will change
according to the CD movement mode.
The Table 3 below shows the above-mentioned movement. The
CD stop condition is main in the actual use of the CD changer.
Figure 5-1 to 5-6 and 6-1 to 6-6 shows a series of process to close
the opening tray with the CD mechanism down, and Fig. 7, the
Timing Chart of Electric Signals.
The main gear to slide the tray is
of rack' pinions.
Double pinion gearsof the main gear are set vertically. Their
diameters are slightly different. One gear with larger diameter
engages with the rack gear on the left side ofthetray;the otherone
with smaller diameter engages with the rack gear on the right side
of the tray.
