    摘要： A modular data storage system (116, 200) for handling and storing data cartridges comprises a cartridge access device (12, 112, 280) and at least two laterally adjacent modular units (155, 157, 210, 212, 214). Each of the modular units may comprise a plurality of cartridge receiving devices (148', 172', 230, 232, 234, 250, 252, 254, 262, 264) and a plurality of elongate gear racks (20, 22, 36, 38, 122, 122' 136, 136', 138, 138', 274', 274'', 276, 276', 276'') aligned along a displacement path (14, 114, 216). The elongate gear racks (e.g., 122, 122' or 276, 276', 276'') are substantially in alignment with one another such that the cartridge access device (12, 112, 280) may be translated among the laterally adjacent modular units (155, 157, 210, 212, 214). The system further comprises a translation apparatus (10, 110, 270) for moving a cartridge access device (12, 112, 280) along a displacement path (14, 114, 216). The translation apparatus may comprise a plurality of drive pinions (24, 28, 40, 42) mounted to the cartridge access device (12, 112, 280) and engaging the plurality of elongate gear racks (20, 22, etc.), and a pinion drive apparatus (32) operatively associated with the drive pinions. The pinion drive apparatus (32) rotates the drive pinions (24, 28, 40, 42) to move the cartridge access device (12, 112, 280) among the elongate gear racks of the adjacent modular units (155, 157, 210, 212, 214). The adjacent modular units may be comprised of a master modular unit (210) and at least one slave modular unit (212, 214). The master modular unit further comprises a power supply (240) and may also comprise a control system (242) operatively associated with the pinion drive apparatus (32), and each slave modular unit (212, 214) may be electrically connected to the power supply (240) in the master modular unit (210).

    摘要： A cartridge engaging assembly (12, 150) for translating a cartridge (18, 22, 38) is disclosed. The cartridge engaging assembly (12, 150) may include a linearly translatable cartridge engaging device (30, 152) adapted to engage a cartridge (18, 22, 38), and a first drive assembly (70, 154) operably connected to the cartridge engaging device (30, 152) which is adapted to linearly translate the cartridge engaging device (30, 152) in a lateral direction (60). A second drive assembly (80, 170) is operably connected to the cartridge engaging device (30, 152) and is adapted to linearly translate the cartridge engaging device (30, 152) in a longitudinal direction (82, 172). A third drive assembly (100, 200) is operably connected to the cartridge engaging device (30, 152) and is adapted to rotate the cartridge engaging device (30, 152) around an axis (CC, DD). In one embodiment, the cartridge engaging assembly (12) also includes a flip latch assembly (62), and the second drive assembly (80) and the third drive assembly (100) use the same motor (86). One or two tracking devices 140, 144, 146) such as a bar code reader may also be included. A cartridge handling system (10) utilizing the cartridge engaging assembly (12, 150) of the present invention is also disclosed, as is a method (112) for rotating a cartridge engaging device (30) of the cartridge engaging assembly (12) of the present invention.

    摘要： Translation apparatus (10) for moving a cartridge access device (12) along a displacement path (14) may comprise a first elongate gear rack (20) aligned along the displacement path (14) and a second elongate gear rack (22) positioned in spaced-apart relation to the first elongate gear rack (20) so that the second elongate gear rack (22) is aligned along the displacement path (14). A first drive pinion (24) mounted to the cartridge access device (12) engages the first elongate gear rack (20). A second drive pinion (28) mounted to the cartridge access device (12) engages the second elongate gear rack (22). A pinion drive apparatus (32) operatively associated with the first and second drive pinions (24, 28) rotates the first and second drive pinions (24, 28) to move the cartridge access device (12) along the first and second elongate gear racks (20, 22).
