Abstract
The present invention provides a lift device of a slot-in disk drive, which includes two straight slots formed on a side of a sliding component, two sliding pins protruding from a side of base adjacent to the sliding component or protruding from a fixing plate of a casing, a cover covering with the sliding component, two guiding pins protruding from an inner surface of the cover corresponding to the two straight slots for inserting into the two straight slots respectively, an one-humped traverse slot with two ends of different heights formed on a lateral side of the cover adjacent to the sliding bolt whereinto the sliding bolt inserts, and two lifting slots separately formed on the other lateral side of the cover whereinto the two sliding pins insert.
Claims16
A lift device installed inside a slot-in disk drive, the slot-in disk drive comprising a casing, a traverse pivoted to the casing, a sliding bolt protruding from a side of the traverse, a base installed inside the casing, and a sliding component installed beside the side of the traverse in a slidable manner, the lift device comprising:
- two straight slots being formed on a side of the sliding component separately and along a direction of thickness of the slot-in disk drive;
- two sliding pins separately protruding from a side of the base adjacent to the sliding component;
- and
- a cover covering with the sliding component, the cover comprising:
- two guiding pins protruding from an inner surface of the cover corresponding to the two straight slots for inserting into the two straight slots respectively;
- an one-humped traverse slot with two ends of different heights formed on a lateral side of the cover adjacent to the sliding bolt whereinto the sliding bolt inserts;
- and
- two lifting slots separately formed on the other lateral side of the cover whereinto the two sliding pins insert;
- wherein the two sliding pins are located at top ends of the two lifting slots and the sliding bolt is located at a bottom end of the traverse slot for descending the cover to a lowest height when the slot-in disk drive is standby.
