Abstract
The present invention relates to a sensor mechanism of an optical disc device for detecting tray in/out motion, which comprises a swing bar having a actuating bar, a spinning center and a protrusion portion; a gear for driving the protrusion portion to rotate the swing bar against the spinning center; at least one sensor for emitting a signal that the tray has been already moved in/out when it is touched by the actuating bar, so that the device prepares to perform next function. According to the sensor mechanism of the present invention, it is easy assembled due to its simplified structure.
Claims17
A sensor mechanism of an optical disc device for detecting tray in/out motion, which comprising:
- a swing bar having an actuating bar, a spinning center and a protrusion portion;
- a gear for driving the protrusion portion to rotate the swing bar against the spinning center during its rotation;
- and
- at least one sensor for emitting a signal when it is touched by the actuating bar.
A sensor mechanism of an optical disc device for detecting tray in/out motion, which comprising:
- a swing bar having an actuating bar, a spinning center and a protrusion portion;
- a driving element for driving the protrusion portion to rotate the swing bar against the spinning center during its action;
- and
- at least one sensor for emitting a signal when it is touched by the actuating bar.
An optical disc device having a main mechanism for executing tray motion in/out and disc playing/reading and a magazine for holding plural trays, which is characterized by having
- a swing bar having an actuating bar, a spinning center and a protrusion portion;
- a driving element for driving the protrusion portion to rotate the swing bar against the spinning center during its action;
- and
- at least one sensor for emitting a signal when it is touched by the actuating bar.
