| 20100077418 | SLOT-IN DISK DRIVE WITH A RELEASE DEVICE - The invention includes a slot-in disk drive with a release device, wherein a side of a traverse is pivoted to a casing. A spindle motor disposed on the traverse rotates an optical disk with a non-data area. The release device is set on the traverse adjacent to the spindle motor. A first hole is formed on the traverse and located in a position corresponding to the non-data area. A release bar protrudes from a bottom of the casing for inserting into the first hole. A buffer is installed between the release bar and the traverse for isolating vibration. | 03-25-2010 |
| 20100162278 | EJECTION DEVICE FOR EJECTING AN OPTICAL DISK AND RELATED METHOD - The invention provides a method for ejecting an optical disk and a related ejection device for a slot-in disk drive. The ejection device includes a block disposed on a contact end of an unloading bar. The block stretches out of the contact end of the unloading bar along a longitudinal direction of the unloading bar for pushing a small size optical disk so that a distance between a center of the small size optical disk and a contact end of a loading bar exceeds a predetermined distance. When the small size optical disk is unloaded, the unloading bar backs to an initial position, the slot-in disk drive idles to load and unload the small size optical disk continuously for pushing the small size optical disk outwardly further. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100162279 | EMERGENCY EJECTION DEVICE FOR A SLOT-IN DISK DRIVE - The invention provides an emergency ejection device for a slot-in disk drive, which rotates a worm gear by a motor. A central hole of a rotating component is fixed on a housing. A sliding slot is formed on an end of the rotating component, and a buckling slot is formed on an end of the sliding slot. A first gear of a gear set fixed on the central hole of the rotating component is engaged with the worm gear. A clutching gear fixed on the other end of the rotating component is engaged with the first gear. An end of a locking component inserts inside the sliding slot, and an inclined surface protrudes from the other end of the locking component. A spring provides an elastic force for holding the sliding column inside the buckling slot so as to keep engagement of the clutching gear with a second gear. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100180286 | OPTICAL DISK DRIVE WITH A CONNECTING DEVICE - The invention provides an optical disk drive with a connecting device. The optical disk drive includes two guiding tracks disposed on two sides of a casing for holding a tray to slide in/out the casing, a circuit board disposed on the tray and electrically connected to a spindle motor and a pick-up head, a main board disposed inside the casing, a detecting switch disposed on the main board, and the connecting device. The connecting device includes a first part disposed on the main board, and a second part disposed on the circuit board for connecting with the first part. The first part is connected with the second part and the optical disk drive is powered on so as to transmit the electricity and the signals between the main board and the circuit board via the connecting device when the detecting switch detects the tray is positioned inside the casing. | 07-15-2010 |
| 20100242056 | SLOT-IN DISK DRIVE WITH JAM-PROOF DEVICE - The slot-in disk drive with a jam-proof device includes an upper housing, at least one guiding bar disposed under the upper housing, an end of the guiding bar pivoted to an inner wall of the slot-in disk drive, and a reception end of the guiding bar for guiding and driving an optical disk to slide in/out the slot-in disk drive, and a block disposed on the reception end. The elastic component of the jam-proof device includes a fixing portion fixed on the positioning slot of the reception end and an obstructing portion disposed between the block and the upper housing. The wear-resisting component is disposed on the upper surface of the obstructing portion of the elastic component for contacting the upper housing. | 09-23-2010 |
| 20100281494 | SLOT-IN OPTICAL DISK DRIVE - A slot-in optical disk drive includes a power unit to drive a sliding component to rotate a loading bar, so as to process loading procedure of the slot-in optical disk drive. A base covers on a main board disposed on a rear side of a casing of the slot-in optical disk drive. A first linking bar is pivoted to a center of the base. An end of the first linking bar is driven by the sliding component, and a haul slot is for driving a right positioning bar. The other end of the first linking bar is pivoted to a second linking bar of the base. The second linking bar is for driving the unloading bar pivoted to the base. The end of the unloading bar is close to a lateral side of the casing, so as to keep away from a breach on the base. | 11-04-2010 |
| 20100281495 | PROTECTION DEVICE OF SLOT-IN OPTICAL DISK DRIVE - A protection device of a slot-in optical disk drive is provided. The protection device is disposed between two linking parts of the slot-in optical disk drive. One of the two linking parts is formed with a slot, and the other one of the two linking parts is connected to an upper end of a guide pin. A lower end of the guide pin protrudes and is inserted into the slot, and a portion of the guide pin corresponding to a side of the slot is formed with a notch. As the notch engages with the slot, the situation that the guide pin slides out of the slot can be avoided. | 11-04-2010 |
