PURPOSE:To obtain an optical head device which can be fitted to plural kinds of disk players, and has reduced its manufacturing cost, by constituting the titled device so that a light beam generation detecting unit and an objective lens driving unit can be placed so as to be variable against a movable base member. CONSTITUTION:An objective lens driving unit 40 is attached to the upper face side of a movable base member 30A, and a light beam generation detecting unit 50 is attached to the lower face side. Its whole is guided by guide members 24, 25 which are placed in a disk player, and can be moved in the radial direction of a disk by rack pinion type driving. This device can be fitted to plural kinds of disk players without changing the unit 40 and 50, and by changing the movable base member 30A for attaching said units and changing the arrangement of the units 40, 50.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To easily avoid an objective lens from causing tracking jump by external shock, by making a turning center of the objective lens in the tracking direction nearly coincident with the gravity center of a moving member of the lens. CONSTITUTION:A parallel line 13 of a supporting arm 10 is connected to a base 11 via flexible part 14 and a flexible part 15c is provided to a hinge 15 to form a hinge shaft. Further, a front end of the hinge 15 and a moving body 19 supporting the objective lens 23 are stuck by a mounting groove 21 and in this case they are fitted so that the gravity center of the moving body 19 and the position of the hinge shaft are made nearly coincident with each other. Thus, the objective lens is moved in the tracking direction only when a moving force is exerted from the direction of gravity center toward the objective lens or vice versa and the jump in the tracking direction is prevented by a usual shock.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make a scanning mechanism small-sized and lightweight and to enable the scanning mechanism to make a scan at a sufficient variable angle of irradiation even with low power consumption. SOLUTION: The beam 9 emitted by a light emitting element 1 is reflected by a spherical mirror 2 to become a reflected beam. A mirror support member 8 which fixes the spherical mirror 2 is able to move vertically and horizontally. A magnetic circuit including a coil part 67 installed on the back of the mirror support member 8 produces a magnetic force needed for the above movement. The coil part 67 has a vertical coil and a horizontal coil corresponding to the vertical and horizontal movement of the mirror support member 8. A convex or concave mirror is usable as the spherical mirror 2.
