DISC DEVICE
A disc device includes a first traverse chassis holding a first optical pickup unit which performs recording/reproduction of information on a first surface of a disc, a second traverse chassis holding a second optical pickup unit which performs recording/reproduction of information on a second surface of the disc, and first and second biasing members which bias the first and second traverse chassis, respectively, in directions of coming closer to each other. The first and second traverse chassis are coupled to each other so as to turn around a turning axis at a rear side of a housing and extending in a width direction of the housing. At least one of the first and the second biasing members is attached while being inclined with respect to each of a conveying direction of the disc, and a thickness and the width directions of the housing.
ROTARY CAGE TYPE OPTICAL DISK LIBRARY STORAGE SYSTEM CAPABLE OF REPLACING OPTICAL DISKS
Disclosed is a rotary cage type optical disk library storage system capable of replacing optical disks. The device includes a case, a burning device, and a rotary cage storage device. The burning device is fixed in the case and includes a burn cabinet, a disk feeding mechanism and an internal gripping mechanism. Multiple optical disk cartridges are arranged in layers from top to bottom in the burning cabinet. The disk feeding mechanism is located just below the burning cabinet. The internal gripping mechanism can move up and down and grab and place the optical disk. The rotary cage storage device and the burning device are fixed in the case side by side. The rotary cage storage device includes a rotary cage mechanism, a rotary cage cassette placed in the rotary cage mechanism for storing optical disks, and a belt drive mechanism driving the rotary cage mechanism to rotate.
Disc drive having disc positioning structure
A disc drive has an opening portion for inserting a disc. The disc drive includes a driving unit, a moving member, a traverse, a disc positioning structure and a restoring structure. When the disc is intended to be clamped on the traverse, the driving unit drives the moving member to move the traverse to a disc holding position to clamp the disc; and the moving member moves the disc positioning structure to a disc release position so that the disc positioning structure does not contact the disc. When the disc is intended to be released from the traverse, the driving unit drives the moving member to move the traverse to a disc unloading position to unload the disc; and the restoring structure moves the disc positioning structure to a disc loading position to support the disc.
