Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify assembly and to improve the precision in detection by molding integrally a lens and an enveloping element thereof which are provided opposite to the recording surface of a disk-shaped recording medium. CONSTITUTION:A lens 8 and an enveloping element 6 thereof which are provided opposite to the recording surface 7 of a disk D are mode-molded integrally, and a light-emitting element 9 such as LED projecting a detection light A and a light-sensing element 10 such as a phototransistor sensing a reflected light B thereof are disposed in the enveloping element 6. According to this method, the physical dimensional relationship between the lens and the enveloping element is set at the time of the integral molding and consequently an assembling process is dispensed with. Therefore, the occurrence of an assembling error can be suppressed and thus the precision in detection is improved.

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to optical disc-shaped recording media (such as laser discs).

In recent years, optical discs such as laser discs, which allow image information, music information, etc. recorded at high density on a recording surface to be read without contact with a laser beam, have become contradictory.

In such a disc playback device, the disc is placed on a turntable that rotates at high speed and is driven to rotate. Since the turntable is rotated at high speed, when starting,
It is necessary to minimize the influence of inertia that occurs when stopping. Therefore, the turntable is formed with a diameter that is considerably smaller than the diameter of the disk. As a result, the outer circumferential edge of the disk placed on the turntable sag compared to its inner circumferential edge. This sagging causes the recording surface of the disk to be tilted. This phenomenon is particularly likely to occur in large-diameter laser disks.

The inclination of the recording surface causes a deviation from the perpendicular relationship between the optical axis of the read beam from the optical pickup and the recording surface. This causes errors in accurate irradiation of the reading beam to the pit position, leading to deterioration in the quality of the reproduced signal due to defocus and the like.

Therefore, conventionally, a device has been proposed that corrects the optical axis of the reading beam so that it always maintains a perpendicular relationship to the recording surface according to the sagging of the disk, that is, the inclination of the recording surface (Utility Model Application No. 59-168835).

This conventional device uses a tilt detector to detect the degree of inclination of the recording surface, and uses the detection signal to correct the inclination of the optical pickup according to the inclination of the recording surface. This conventional device is excellent in that accurate information reading is possible because the optical axis of the reading beam can be corrected to the correct position by tilt correction. However, since the tilt detector is formed of two light receiving elements arranged in the radial direction of the disk on both sides with a light emitting element in between, increasing the size of the detector becomes a problem. Space is limited inside the playback device, where various components are mounted at high density, and one challenge is to miniaturize the tilt detector.

This is because when assembling two parts after the fact, the accuracy of assembling them becomes a problem, and the number of production steps increases accordingly.

The invention as set forth in claim 2 is characterized in that the lens and the outer envelope are integrally molded in the tilt detector for a disc-shaped recording medium, which is a disc-shaped recording medium tilt detector according to claim 1. In the device, the lens is composed of a pair of lens parts arranged so that the optical axes passing through the center of each lens are parallel, and the relative distance between the light emitting element and the light receiving element is wider than the relative distance between the optical axes. The invention according to claim 3 is characterized in that in the tilt detector for a disc-shaped recording medium according to claim 1, the light receiving element is divided into two in the radial direction of the disc-shaped recording medium. According to the invention as set forth in claim 1, the lens and the outer surrounding portion are arranged adjacent to each other. Because they are integrally formed, the physical dimensional relationship between the lens and the outer envelope is determined at the time of integral formation, and one assembly is not required, which simplifies the assembly process and suppresses the occurrence of assembly errors. It is possible to prevent a decrease in detection accuracy due to assembly errors.

As a result, the relative spacing between the detector and the recording surface can be reduced, and the device can be made smaller by that size.Also, if the spacing remains the same, the detector itself can be made smaller6.Also, the light receiving range can be expanded. This eliminates the need for such high detection accuracy and makes manufacturing easier.

In that case, a light-shielding dye may be mixed into the same resin material, or different resin materials may be used in two stages. In that case, materials that are compatible with each other should be selected. This is because when the outer envelope part 6 and the lens part 8 are made into a composite material using different materials, the strength and adhesion of the interface between them are required.

In the above configuration, when there is no inclination of the disk D, the reflected beam spot 11 from the recording surface 7 forms an image equally spanning both the light receiving areas 10a and 10b centering on the boundary line 1 (see FIG. 3). b)). Therefore, the light receiving areas 10a, 10

This embodiment is based on the first embodiment and is an improvement thereof. That is, as shown in FIG. 4(b), the following problems arise according to the first embodiment. The light emitting element 9 is placed on the focal plane 16 of the lens section 8 in order to convert the luminous flux of the detection light A toward the disk D via the lens section 8 into a parallel luminous flux. Assuming that the refractive index of the lens portion 8 is 1.5, the relationship between the radius of curvature R of the lens portion 8 and the focal pressure Mf' of the lens portion 8 is approximately R=f'/3 (1). FIG. 4(a) Of the reflected light B that exits the light emitting element 9 and returns from the recording surface 7, the effective light flux is only in the range θ, and the pond is either totally reflected on the inner surface of the lens portion 8 or Recording surface 7 after 8
The light does not return to the lens section 8 after being reflected. In this way, the effective luminous flux is restricted to the range of θ, and the light receiving area 10a
There may be cases where a sufficient detection signal cannot be obtained from the sensor 10b.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4(b), if the size of the detector can be made similar to the size of the entire reproducing apparatus, the same performance can be obtained. However, since the light-emitting element and the light-receiving element 10 are housed within the outer enclosure 6, it is difficult to reduce the relative distance d between the light-emitting element and the light-receiving element 10 beyond a certain value, which limits miniaturization. arise.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 4(b), when detecting the inclination of the disc D in an optical disc playback device, the distance between the detector and the disc D must be maintained at a predetermined distance H in consideration of surface wobbling of the disc D, etc. However, if the distance d between the light emitting element 9 and the light receiving element 10 is maintained even when downsizing only the device, the light from the light emitting element 9 will not return to the light receiving element 10 and the detection function will not be fulfilled.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, when there is a tilt error θ1 in a direction perpendicular to the disc tilt detection direction, very little of the light flux θ from the light emitting element 9 may return to the light receiving element 10, and the disc D 61 detection signals cannot be obtained.

The method of integrally forming the first lens part 12, the second lens part 13, and the outer enclosure part 6 is the same as in the first embodiment.
