Optical disk drive
View Patent ↗An optical disk drive includes a main body including a spindle motor to rotate a disk and an optical pickup to access the disk, a tray installed on the main body to be loaded and unloaded, and a compression member, which is disposed on the main body, for preventing vibrations of the tray, when the tray loads into and unloads from the main body, by applying an elastic force to a side surface of the tray in a horizontal direction.
1. An optical disk drive comprising:
a frame including rails disposed on edges thereof;
a tray installed on the frame to slide along the rails; and
a compression member disposed on the frame to prevent vibrations of the tray when the
tray slides along the rails, by applying an elastic force to the tray in a direction perpendicular to a sliding direction of the tray,
wherein the rails comprise ribs protruding from a bottom surface of the frame.
2. An optical disk drive, comprising:
a frame including rails disposed on edges thereof;
a tray installed on the frame to slide along the rails, the tray comprising guide
recesses formed on edges of the tray and coupled to the rails and having predetermined tolerances between the rails and the guide recesses; and
a compression member disposed on the frame to prevent vibrations of the tray when the
tray slides along the rails, by applying an elastic force to the tray in a direction perpendicular to a sliding direction of the tray, wherein widths of the guide recesses are larger than widths of the rails.
3. The optical disk drive of claim 2 , wherein a distance between the guide recesses is larger than a distance between the rails.
