Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the number of parts greatly by using a feed screw which engages a half nut incorporated in an optical head and moves the optical head by its rotation even as a base for the optical head in common. CONSTITUTION:A hole 6 is formed in a main chassis 1 so that a pickup device body 5 which records and reproduces information on and from an optical disk 2 is movable in the radial direction of the optical disk 2. A guide shaft 7 which supports the pickup device 5 slidably in the disk radial direction is provided to one side of the upper part of the hole 6, and the pickup device body 5 is supported slidably at the other side and the feed screw 9 is provided. The half nut 10 engages the feed screw 9 in the pickup device body 5 while the engagement is reinforced through the operation of a leaf spring 11, and an abutting guide 12 is fixed at the side of the pickup device body 5 and contacts the outer peripheral surface of the feed screw 9. This abutting guide 12 is made of a plastic material and also functions as an abutting guide for the guide shaft 7. Consequently, the number of parts is decreased greatly and the cost is reduced.

<Prior art> Conventionally, optical disk devices use a disk with many pits recorded on its surface, and while the disk is rotating at high speed, an optical head irradiates the disk surface with a laser beam, and the reflected light is Many of the systems reproduced audio, images, etc. by optically reading the changes using an optical head and converting the light into electrical signals. This type of disk device sequentially reads information by moving the optical head described above in the radial direction of the disk relative to the disk to follow the information recording track of the disk, but the information recording track is extremely dense. Since the optical head is constructed as follows, the movement of the optical head must be extremely smooth and the striking force must be increased.

There was also another method that used a rack and gears to convert the rotational motion from the drive motor into reciprocating motion to drive the optical head, but this mechanism required a large reduction ratio from the drive motor. Because of the need for a large number of gears, a mechanism to eliminate backlash at the meshing part of the gears was also required.

First, the overall configuration of the optical head feeding mechanism will be explained. FIG. 1 is an external perspective view showing the overall configuration. A spindle motor 3 for rotating an optical disk 2 at high speed protrudes from the center of the main chassis 1, and a turntable 4 for holding the optical disk 2 is fixed to the tip of the shaft of the spindle motor 3. optical disc 2
is installed on the turntable 4 and rotates. A hole 6 is formed so that a pickup device main body 5 for performing the above-mentioned recording and reproduction can be moved in the radial direction of the optical disc 2. An id shaft 7 is provided on one side of the upper part of the hole 6, passing through a bearing of the pickup device main body 5 and supporting the pickup device main body 5 so as to be slidable in the disk radial direction.
