A power saving method for an optical disk drive of a rugged electronic device is described. In the method, whether a watertight lid outside the optical disk drive is in open/closed state is detected by a sensor. When the watertight lid is in the closed state, whether an optical disk exists in the optical disk drive is detected by a read/write head of the optical disk drive. When no optical disk exists, a controller in the rugged electronic device begins to time. When a predetermined time is reached and no optical disk drive start command is received, the controller turns off an electrical connection between a power supply and the optical disk drive. When an optical disk drive start command is received, the controller enables the electrical connection between the power supply and the optical disk drive.

A recording and/or reproducing apparatus for a recording medium including a head for reproducing the information on or from the recording medium, a movement mechanism for moving the recording medium between a first position enabling recording and/or reproducing of information signals by the head and a second position above the first position for performing an exchange operation, a lock mechanism for locking the movement mechanism at the first position, a controller for moving the head between a position proximate to the recording medium and an upper position spaced apart from the recording medium, and, engagement means moved by the controller and engaged by the lock mechanism, the engagement means engaging with the lock mechanism by the controller and moving between an engagement position engaged with the lock mechanism and disengaged from the lock mechanism by a ejecting operation and a lock release position of being released from the position of being disengaged from the lock mechanism as a result of the ejecting operation, wherein, when the head is at the upper position spaced apart from the recording medium, the engagement means is positioned at the position of being engaged with the lock mechanism and releases the lock of the movement mechanism by the lock mechanism at the first position, and wherein, when the head is proximate to the recording medium, the engagement means is caused to move to the lock release position by the controller.

A recording and/or reproducing apparatus arranged to permit an interchange of record bearing media and selection between recording and reproducing modes of operation on the medium comprises look-up device for looking up the presence or absence of an existing record in each recording or reproducing position on the record bearing medium loaded on the apparatus, and control device arranged to control the look-up device to cause it to perform a look-up action in response to opening of a lid for replacement of the record bearing medium and to cut off the power supply upon completion of the look-up action. The control unit thus lowers electric energy consumption and saves electric energy from being wasted by the look-up action.

A battery cover opening/closing device which prevents a battery from being opened when the power switch is in the on position and prevents the switch from being turned on when the cover is not completely closed. The device includes a cover opening member (21), a power switch manipulator (51) for turning on and off the power switch for the battery and a safety mechanism for enabling the opening operation of the cover opening member (21) only when the power switch manipulator (51) is in the position of turning off the power switch. The safety mechanism comprises a slide-locking plate (14) having an opening/closing hole means (20) in which a bar coupled to the member integrally therewith is fitted. The opening/closing hole means includes an entry hindrance hole (20b) which does not allow the member (21) to be pressed to open the cover when the manipulator is in the position of turning on the power switch and an entry allowance hole (20a) which is continuous to the entrance hindrance hole (20b) and allows the member (21 ) to be pressed to open the cover when the manipulator is in the position of turning off the switch.
摘要:
A safety ensuring device for a disc apparatus, which includes a lid and a spindle motor for rotating a disc, includes a first switch operable by the lid, a first controller electrically coupled to the first switch, a second switch simultaneously operable by the lid when activating the first switch, and a second controller electrically coupled to the second switch. The first controller is configured for receiving signals from the first switch and controls rotation of the spindle motor based on the received signals from the first switch. The second controller is configured for receiving signals from the second switch and controls the rotation of the spindle motor based on the received signals from the second switch. A disc apparatus utilizing the safety ensuring device is also disclosed.

An optical disc drive is disclosed wherein the optical disc drive has a cover member to protect an optical pickup unit located within the optical disc drive. The cover member is movably associated with the optical disc drive and has a first operating position and a second operating position. The position of the cover member dictates whether the optical disc drive is in a non-operative condition or an operative condition. The non-operative condition is a condition in which the cover member is positioned at the first operating position, adjacent the optical pickup unit. The operative condition is a condition in which the cover member is positioned at the second operating position, spaced from the first position.
摘要:
A recording and/or reproducing apparatus for a recording medium which includes a main body on which the recording medium is loaded, a lid rotatably mounted on the main body for opening and closing a loading device of the main body on which the recording medium is loaded, wherein a lock member is movably mounted on one of the main body and the lid and a locked part and a lid lock detection switch are mounted on the other of the main body and the lid, the lock member being engaged with the locked part and actuating the lid lock detection switch when the lid is moved to a locking position in a state of closing the loading device, the lock member when moved to a lock release position being disengaged from the locked part and released from its operation on the lid lock detection switch.
