AUTOMATIC DISK CHANGER PROVIDED WITH INVERSION MECHANISM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To move a disk to an empty pallet after reliably inverting it upside down. SOLUTION: Four pairs of first through fourth guide grooves 25-28 for guiding the pallet 9 are provided on the inner faces of the side plates 22c of a rotary frame 22 rotatably journalled to a fixed frame 21 via a spindle 23. When the pallet 9 mounted with the disk D is stored in the second guide grooves 26 from an inversion delivery mechanism, a drive motor 24 is operated to rotate the rotary frame 22 by 180 deg.. Since the empty pallet 9 is stored in the first guide grooves 25 in advance, the disk D is dropped on the empty pallet 9 in the first guide grooves 5 in an inverted state.
