Abstract
A relay gear, a second gear, rotation rollers, and a first gear interlocking with a driving motor are arranged on a first base, and a DVD disk is carried by these rotation rollers and fixed rollers supported by a second base. An arm contacts with an outer circumferential edge of the DVD disk thus carried and is forced rearward. This operation causes a cam arm to move a slider using a cam groove coupling portion of the slider. After positioning the DVD disk, any one of rack gears is engaged with the first gear, whereby the driving motor drives one rotation roller, one fixed roller, and the arm to be separated from the outer circumferential edge of the DVD disk.
Claims4
An electronic apparatus including a disk apparatus, the disk apparatus comprising:
- transport rollers constituted by a pair of rotation rollers and a pair of fixed rollers for putting a disk-like recording medium therebetween in a diameter direction of the disk-like recording medium;
- and
- a driving motor that drives the rotation rollers to rotate, the driving motor caused to drive the rotation rollers to rotate to thereby carry the disk-like recording medium from a disk inlet and outlet port to a disk attachment portion in which information is recorded or reproduced in or from the disk-like recording medium, an arm rotatably and pivotally attached to the disk apparatus, the arm contacting with an outer circumferential edge of the disk-like recording medium thus carried to the disk attachment portion and positioning the disk-like recording medium to the disk attachment portion, wherein
- the disk apparatus further comprises:
- a first base that supports the rotation rollers and the driving motor, a second base that supports the fixed rollers, and a slider that drives the arm, and wherein
- a first gear engaged with a rack gear provided on the slider, a second gear that integrally rotates with the rotation rollers, and a plurality of relay gears engaged with the first gear, the second gear, and a driving gear provided on an output shaft of the driving motor, respectively are axially supported by the first base, whereby the one driving motor drives both the rotation rollers that carry the disk-like recording medium and the slider.
