Plunger
Switching the driving source from motor to:
1. Tray open/close
2. Drive tray to play/stock position and TRV vertical movemen
2. Up/down operation of a traverse performs a state changes of tray.
By using the plunger to lift/release of a switching gear, and the cam gear to lift/release the
function gear the motor can be link to several gear trains to perform various operations.
●The functions that can be perform in this mechanism are described as below:
Note: * represent tray number (from 1 ~ 5)
Condition Explanation
Open current playing
tray
The state to change current playing disc. All tray will be open at once and current tray at
PLAY position will be expose.
Open All
The state where all trays being driven to OPEN position. The disc can be taken in or out
from tray to tray by close tray one by one from top to bottom.
Stock The state where the trays are stored in STOCK position
Play
The state where one of the tray 5 trays is being driven to PLAY position and clamped by
traverse unit
Play & Open Tray-*
The state where one of the tray is in playing position performing recording or
reproducing, other trays can be used (OPEN position) for disc exchanging without
stopping the recording or reproducing process.
Change
The state when one of the opened tray being driven from OPEN position to STOCK
position and other opened trays remain still at OPEN position.

● Cam gear rotation direction, switch and state changes is show in figure below:
● The movement of UD base (vertical up/down) and driving of tray(s) between STOCK
position and PLAY position is only enable when plunger ON (lift up the switching gear to
link driving source to the both gear train). Only one gear train can be driven at one time, the
selection of either gear train is depending on cam gear position. Below are figure showing the
operation of motor driving direction and its function carry out.

●For driving UD base up/down the cam gear must be at the home position (UD driving
position) and plunger need to be activated, the switch and state change is as figure below:
●To drive the tray(s) between STOCK/PLAY position, cam gear must be at the play driving
position and plunger need to be activated, the switch and state change is as figure below:
●The mechanism tray opening and closing is cycle process. It is able to open all trays in
STOCK position while one of the tray is in PLAY position. The closing can be done one by
one or close all at once depend on the user instruction. Below show the tray opening and
closing flow.
●Plunger is use for pulling the lever that a switching gear is sit on the lever. When current
supply to the plunger to pulling (kick) switching gear, it will be lift up to engage to 1 st gear
train. When current supply to plunger is cut off (release), switching gear will be bring done
by gravity force and mechanical coil spring on top of it. Plunger use for connect the driving
source from motor to 2 different gear train in the mechanism, the functions of the gear trains
are as below:
1. Tray open/close
2. Drive tray to play/stock position and TRV vertical movement
●The plunger movement is define as below:
Kick = H, Release= L
●Each time during plunger activation time (Kick/Release), the motor shall perform a short time
CW and CCW rotation for release the gear side force and ensure complete gear to gear
engagement.
●The basic concept of the motor rotation sequence (CW or CCW) is base on the initial and
final motor rotating direction. The direction should be opposite to the initial and final motor
driving direction in order to:
1. To release the gear teeth side force
2. To release mechanism belt tension
3. To ensure switching gear disengage or engage into other gear•s teeth
●Summary of the type of motor short rotation direction is as below:

●Switching mode G is used during initialization to ensure that the switching gear is at the
release (down) condition before the initialization process begins.
3.7 Initialization of Mechanism Unit.
●Mechanism Initialization -- This mechanism is designed to operate & set to a pre-defined
position to prevent malfunction when unavoidable circumstances happen. For examples: user
mis-handling during transportaion or abnormal user operations.This is comply to the product
shipping reliability standards.
●Mechanism is initialized when the mechanism controller is unable to detect the present
condition/state of mechanism. For example, when the microcomputer carries out a cold start.
(In complete unit)
●Besides this, it will always return to “HOME” position after performing below functions:
1. After tray completely clamped by Traverse unit
2. Closing All trays
3. Closing tray 5
4. After completely the UD base movement
●There are 2 type of mode to go to HOME position.
Mode 1 is to go to HOME position and motor brake and stay at HOME position, motor need
longer brake time for reduce overrun of mechanical parts.
For Mode 2, after mechanism go to HOME position, motor immediately rotate reverse
direction to go do loading/unloading processing, shorter brake time necessary to reduce the
total mechanism operation time.
The table below is types of "GO HOME" mode and operation that use it.
GO HOME MODE 1 GO HOME MODE 2
1. After loading tray to PLAY position
1. After closing all trays (no tray at PLAY
position)
2. After unloading tray to STOCK position
3. After closing all trays (one tray at PLAY
position)
● The timing chart for the mechanism to set to “HOME” position is illustrated as below.
● Below is the flow chart for the mechanism to set to “HOME” position.
●Play driving position is a position driving source linkage to drive the tray(s) between STOCK
position and PLAY position (load and unload of tray). Cam gear will rotate to this position
from HOME position, and after the completion of clamping process will back to HOME
position.
For Go to Play Driving position, cam gear move from HOME position, motor brake after
detect 1 st time CLOSE sensor signal change from H→L
●Below is the flow chart for the mechanism to set PLAY DRIVING position.
●Changer mechanisms are required to open trays to load a disc. This mechanism features an
"All Open" or "Change all one by one" function for quick & easy disc change. There are 3
kinds of "Tray Open" conditions.
1. All trays open
Occurs when OPEN/CLOSE button is pressed, playing tray will be driven to
STOCK position and all trays will driven to OPEN position. All trays will remain
open until "DISC CHANGE" or "OPEN/CLOSE" is pressed. When "DISC
CHANGE" is pressed, the upper most tray will close while "OPEN/CLOSE" is
close all trays.
2. Open selected tray while one tray at PLAY position
Occurs when specify tray is selected to be opened while one tray is at PLAY
position. This operation never disturbs the playing disc operation and allow user
to change desire disc on specific tray.
3. Direct open playing tray
Occurs only when the user selects to open playing tray. Tray at PLAY position
will stop recording/reproducing process and being driven to STOCK position.
This will follow by driven all trays to OPEN position and trays closing until the
previous playing tray expose for disc changing.Example: User press "DISC
CHANGE" + "DISC 3". Mechanism opens all the trays, then closes trays 1 & 2
respectively exposing the tray 3.
●The timing chart for both positions is the same, motor rotate CW direction, until OPEN SW
changing signal H→ L → H, motor need to continue run for 45ms.
