초록 ▼

A cylindrical array of tightly spaced optical discs are each positioned vertically on edge to form a horizontal stack. Lifting a subset of optical discs enables that subset of optical discs to be grasped by their perimeters with much more room for robotic grippers between adjacent optical discs. An optical disc storage container includes a molded tray for vertically aligning a plurality of optical discs into the cylindrical array. The molded tray includes a bottom surface and side surfaces to support the optical discs and one or more openings formed in the bottom surface. A lifting mechanism is positioned along the one or more openings and is configured to lift the subset of optical discs a short distance relative to the remaining optical discs in the array, thereby enabling robotic grippers to grab the portion of the lifted optical disc protruding from the non-lifted optical disc array.

1. An optical disc storage device comprising: a. a tray configured to store a plurality of optical discs, wherein the tray comprises an exterior housing having an opening exposing an interior recess, the recess having a bottom surface and opposing side surfaces configured to support the plurality of optical discs on edge such that a top portion of all of the plurality of optical discs simultaneously extend outside the housing through the opening while a bottom edge of all the plurality of optical discs rest against the bottom surface while in a stored position, further wherein the bottom surface and a portion of the side surfaces form a cylindrical interior surface and a remaining portion of the side surfaces form a linear interior surface coupled to the cylindrical interior surface; andb. a plurality of lead ins extending from the bottom surface and opposing side surfaces, wherein the plurality of lead ins form a plurality of grooves, each groove configured to receive one optical disc. 2. The optical disc storage device of claim 1 wherein each lead in matches a contour of an interior surface of the side surfaces and the bottom surface such that the lead in has a cylindrical contour coincident with the cylindrical interior surface and has a linear contour coincident with the linear interior surface. 3. An optical disc storage and retrieval system comprising: a. a plurality of optical discs;b. a tray configured to store the plurality of optical discs, wherein the tray comprises an exterior housing having an opening exposing an interior recess, the recess having a bottom surface and opposing side surfaces configured to support the plurality of optical discs on edge such that a top portion of all of the plurality of optical discs simultaneously extend outside the housing through the opening while a bottom edge of all the plurality of optical discs rest against the bottom surface while in a stored position, further wherein the bottom surface comprises one or more bottom surface openings thereby exposing a portion of the bottom edge of each of the stored plurality of optical discs; andc. a lifting mechanism positioned adjacent to the one or more bottom surface openings, wherein the lifting mechanism is configured to simultaneously and selectively lift a subset of the plurality of optical discs into a retrieval position such that the top portion of each optical disc in the retrieval position protrudes from the top portion of each optical disc remaining in the stored position. 4. The system of claim 3 wherein the subset of the optical discs comprises one or more non-sequential optical discs in the array. 5. The system of claim 3 wherein the subset of optical discs comprises every even numbered optical disc in the array or every odd numbered optical disc in the array. 6. The system of claim 3 wherein the subset of optical discs comprises every Nth numbered optical disc in the array, where N is one of an integer greater than one. 7. The system of claim 3 wherein the recess comprises one or more cylindrical recesses, each cylindrical recess having bottom surface and opposing side surfaces configured to support multiple optical discs on edge. 8. The system of claim 3 wherein the recess comprises a plurality of grooves, each groove structured to receive an optical disc on edge. 9. The system of claim 8 wherein the recess further comprises a plurality of lead-ins extending from the bottom surface and opposing side surfaces, wherein the plurality of grooves are formed by the plurality of lead-ins. 10. The system of claim 3 wherein the lifting mechanism comprises a cam shaft having a plurality of cams, each cam configured to align with one of the optical discs. 11. The system of claim 10 wherein the cam shaft comprises two sets of cams, a first set of cams wherein each cam in the first set is configured to align with every even numbered optical disc in the array and a second set of cams wherein each cam in the second set is configured to align with every odd numbered optical disc in the array, wherein the lifting mechanism selecting engages either the first set of cams or the second set of cams. 12. The system of claim 3 further comprising a robotic gripper configured to selectively grab one of the lifted subset of optical discs in the retrieval position. 13. The system of claim 3 wherein the subset of the optical discs comprises multiple non-sequential optical discs in the array.
