Abstract
A computer device with a built-in disk driver is disclosed in the present invention. The thin computer device includes a casing for accommodating at least one electronic component. A sunken structure is disposed on a surface of the casing. The thin computer device further includes a disk driver movably disposed inside the sunken structure. The disk driver includes a tray, a drive motor, a track set, and an optical read-in module. The tray movably connected to the casing for holding an optical disk. The drive motor disposed on the tray. The track set disposed on the tray. The optical read-in module slidably disposed on the track set. The optical read-in module reads information from the optical disk when the tray holds the optical disk and is located outside the sunken structure.
Claims17
A computer device with a built-in disk driver, the computer device comprising:
- a casing for accommodating at least one electronic component, a sunken structure being disposed on a surface of the casing;
- and
- a disk driver movably disposed inside the sunken structure, the disk driver comprising:
- a tray foldable connected to the casing for holding an optical disk;
- a driving circuit;
- a drive motor disposed on the tray and electrically connected to the driving circuit for rotating the optical disk;
- a track set disposed on the tray;
- an optical read-in module slidably disposed on the track set and electrically connected to the driving circuit, the optical read-in module reading information from the optical disk when the tray holds the optical disk and is located outside the sunken structure;
- and
- a pivot mechanism disposed on a side of the tray and inside the sunken structure adjacent to an outer of the casing, wherein a direction of a rotary axle of the pivot mechanism is substantially perpendicular to a plane normal vector of the tray, and the tray is folded to be contained inside the sunken structure and unfolded to be outside the sunken structure relative to the casing via the pivot mechanism.
A disk driver disposed on a casing of a computer device, the disk driver comprises:
- a tray foldably connected to the casing for holding an optical disk;
- a driving circuit;
- a drive motor disposed on the tray and electrically connected to the driving circuit for rotating the optical disk;
- a track set disposed on the tray;
- an optical read-in module slidably disposed on the track set and electrically connected to the driving circuit, the optical read-in module reading information from the optical disk when the tray holds the optical disk and is located outside the sunken structure;
- and
- a pivot mechanism disposed on a side of the tray and inside the sunken structure adjacent to an outer of the casing, wherein a direction of a rotary axle of the pivot mechanism is substantially perpendicular to a plane normal vector of the tray, and the tray is folded to be contained inside the sunken structure and unfolded to be outside the sunken structure relative to the casing via the pivot mechanism.
