Optical disc drive
View Patent ↗An optical disc drive including a case, a tray, a turntable, a pickup head, a transmission mechanism, and a protecting cover is provided. The tray is movably set inside the case. The turntable is embedded in the tray. The pickup head is movably embedded in the tray. The transmission mechanism is embedded in the tray and connected to the pickup head. And the protecting cover is set on the tray and covers the transmission mechanism. The protecting cover has a protruding structure located on the surface of the protecting cover that corresponds to a non-data area of an optical disc. Moreover, the tray has a protruding structure located on the surface of the tray adjacent to the protecting cover. Furthermore, pads could be substituted for the abovementioned protruding structures.
