  • Patent number: 11594245
    Abstract: A bifunctional turntable which includes a rotating shaft, a platter, a light sensor module, an audio control module, and a plinth is revealed. The rotating shaft which is driven by a power source to rotate drives the platter to rotate. Then the light sensor module disposed on the rotating shaft detects rotation speed of the platter for playing a record at normal speed. The audio control module is located in the plinth and disposed on a simulated record for detecting changes in the simulated record which is manually operated. Then the audio control module sends signals to a digital audio control system at a rear end for driving the digital audio control system to output audio signals. Thereby the present turntable plays not only vinyl records but also simulated records.

  • Patent number: 7010371
    Abstract: In a digital audio signal player having a simulated analogue record, a high frequency alternator is provided, which is connected to the microprocessor, and constantly sends out a high-frequency signal; the alternator has an output terminal electrically connected to a diode connected to the microprocessor; a control element is also connected to the diode. Music is played in a normal way when the microprocessor receives high-frequency signal in a non-reduced form. The control element will send an interfering signal to the diode to reduce high frequency signal passing through the diode when touched by hands, thus making the microprocessor receive high frequency signal in reduced form; music is played with speed and direction changing according to the movement of the control element when the microprocessor receives the reduced high frequency signal. Music is played normally as soon as hands are removed from the control element.

  • Patent number: 6128268
    Abstract: A driving mechanism for a record player includes a fixing base, a solenoid, a housing, a spindle, a sleeve, a turntable and a magnetic ring. The solenoid is fixed on the fixing base for rotating the housing. The spindle is located in the center of the housing and extends upward through the sleeve fixed in a center hole of the turntable. The magnetic ring is fixed under the lower surface of the turntable and faces the upper surface of the housing with an aperture, producing strong magnetism against the housing. Thus, the turntable is pulled down-ward to increase tightness between itself and the sleeve so that the turntable may rotate synchronously with the spindle, preventing inertia torque and slide difference between the turntable and the spindle.
