  • Patent number: 7408849
    Abstract: A tilt adjustment device for adjusting tilt of a left guide bar with respect to a right guide bar, and includes a holding seat and a cylindrical-shaped bushing disposed rotatably within the holding seat. The bushing defines a bar-retention hole to permit extension of the left guide bar therethrough, and has a turning portion defining a first axis and an insert portion that extends eccentrically from the turning portion and that defines a second axis parallel to the first axis. Rotation of the cylindrical-shaped bushing relative to the holding seat results in a radial movement of the turning portion, which, in turn, moves the first axis toward and away from the second axis of the insert portion.

  • Patent number: 7210151
    Abstract: The present invention provides a heat dissipation member for use in the optical disk drive. The present invention includes an outer frame and a chassis. The chassis has a drive module, a pickup module and two guide rods. A heat dissipation member is disposed on the pickup module and is in contact with a laser diode of the pickup module. When the drive module spins the optical disk at a rotational speed, an air flow is produced due to spinning of optical disk. A part of the air flow is directed to flow through the laser diode by the heat dissipation member so that excess heat generated by the laser diode is efficiently dissipated.

  • Publication number: 20060248550
    Abstract: An optical disc drive for reading the recorded data on an optical disc is provided. The optical disc drive includes a chassis, a turntable and a pickup head. The inner top surface of the chassis has a protruding structure or an escape-prevention component. The turntable is disposed inside the chassis for holding and rotating the optical disc. The protruding structure or the escape-prevention component is located above the optical disc when the optical disc is placed onto the turntable inside the chassis. The movable pickup head is disposed inside the chassis for reading the data recorded on the optical disc. The protruding structure or the escape-prevention component shortens the distance between the top surface of the optical disc and the inner top surface of the chassis. Thus, the optical disc is prevented from escaping from the turntable when the optical disc drive vibrates due to an external force.
