Abstract: The present invention discloses an optical disc drive with an explosion proof structure comprising a frame, a first guiding member pivoted to the frame, a second guiding member pivoted to the first guiding member, and a rotating member pivoted to the frame corresponding to an access opening on a side of the frame. When the rotating member rotates to a first position, the access opening is covered by a stopping flange of the rotating member, and when the rotating member rotates to a second position and a compact disc is inserted into the access opening, the compact disc drives the first guiding member and then to drive the second guiding member rotate the rotating member from the second position to the first position. Therefore, a fragment of a cracked compact disc inside the optical disc drive is prevented from jetting out of the optical disc drive effectively.

Abstract: An optical disc drive suitable for accommodating an optical disc is provided. The optical disc drive includes a housing, a rack, a swing arm and a cushion. The rack is disposed inside the housing, and the swing arm is pivoted to the rack. When an optical disc moves to a first disc location of the rack, the disc pushes the swing arm to rotate from a first arm location to a second arm location. When the disc returns from the first disc location back to a second disc location, the swing arm rotates from the second arm location back to the first arm location. The cushion is disposed to cover a protruding portion of the swing arm for buffering an impact.

Abstract: An adjusting mechanism for an optical pickup head has a cam-shaped adjusting base used to optimally adjust the inclination of optical pickup head. The cam-shaped adjusting base is formed by plastics injection molding in a manner so as to be directly connected to the chassis, which simplifies the assembly process and reduces the production cost.

Abstract: An optical compact disk drive includes a housing with a top cover, a disk-supporting tray mounted in the housing for supporting a compact disk thereon and cooperating with the top cover to define a gap therebetween, and an acoustic-and-vibration attenuator mounted in the gap to divide the gap into a plurality of angularly spaced apart compartments around a central axis that passes through a center of the compact disk.

Abstract: A deviation adjustment mechanism for spindle motor and pickup head of optical disk drives includes an optical disk drive dock for holding a pickup head and a motor holding seat for holding a spindle motor. The motor holding seat has a retaining flange on one edge. The optical disk drive dock and the motor holding seat are connected by an elastic element to move the motor holding seat in one direction in normal conditions. An adjusting member is provided to press the retaining flange to move the motor holding seat towards another side to adjust the deviation of the spindle motor and the pickup head of the optical disk drive.

Abstract: An optical compact disk drive includes a housing and a mounting seat with a disk-supporting tray that has opposite front and rear peripheral portions and that is formed with a recess between the front and rear peripheral portions and an elongated opening extending from a center of the recess to the rear peripheral portion. A pair of front air-communicating openings are formed in the front peripheral portion, and at least a rear air-communicating opening is formed in the rear peripheral portion. Air is permitted to flow from a bottom side to a top side of the disk-supporting tray through the front and rear air-communicating openings.

Abstract: A tray-constrained mechanism of optical disk drive is proposed. This mechanism, consisting of a resilience part, forms an elastic constraint between the resilience part and a lateral wall on the protrusion part of bottom case, in order to constrain a tray and to reduce vibration generated by a spindle motor. Furthermore, because this mechanism contains only one resilience part, it can reduce both material cost and manufacture cost.
