A disk carrier mechanism is used for moving a disk between an insertion position and a reading position. The disk carrier mechanism includes a wedged member set, a fixing board, a sliding board, and a driver set. The wedged member set includes multiple wedged members, each with a wedged part for wedging a disk. The driver set is formed on the fixing board for driving the sliding board to move relative to the fixing board. After being inserted, a disk is wedged in the wedged part and the force of inserting the disk pushes the sliding board to move to the position where the sliding board makes contact with the driver set. Thus the driver set drives the sliding board to place the disk in the reading position. Thus fewer members are used to accomplish the goal of moving the disk, which simplifies the actions of members, the fabrication of the mechanism, and reduces cost.
A disk carrier mechanism for carrying a disk between an inserted position and a reading position, the inserted position being located on the disk carrier mechanism for holding the disk and the reading position being the position of a chuck of an optical disk drive for coupling with the opening of the disk, the disk carrier mechanism comprising:
