Abstract
An optical drive. The optical drive comprises a tray, a tray transmission mechanism joined with and moving the tray, a first gear, and a transmission element selectively joined with or released from the tray transmission mechanism and the first gear simultaneously. When the transmission element joins the tray transmission mechanism and the first gear simultaneously, rotating the first gear manually drives the transmission element and the tray transmission mechanism so as to move the tray.
Claims13
An optical drive, comprising:
- a tray;
- a tray transmission mechanism joined with and moving the tray;
- a first gear;
- and
- a transmission element selectively joined with or released from the tray transmission mechanism and the first gear simultaneously, wherein when the transmission element joins the tray transmission mechanism and the first gear simultaneously, the first gear is rotated to drive the transmission element and the tray transmission mechanism so as to move the tray.
An ejecting method for an optical drive including a tray, a tray transmission mechanism joined with and moving the tray and a first gear, said method comprising the following steps:
- providing a transmission element joined with or released from the tray transmission mechanism and the first gear simultaneously under a power-off status or a power-on status respectively;
- and
- rotating the first gear to drive the transmission element and the tray transmission mechanism so as to move the tray when the transmission element joins the tray transmission mechanism and the first gear simultaneously.
