  • Publication number: 20220179459
    Abstract: A pivot device includes first and second shafts. A first torque component unit is coupled to an end of the first shaft. A second torque component unit is coupled to an end of the second shaft. A positioning unit is coupled to another ends of the first and second shafts and includes a first positioning board, a second positioning board, and a positioning block. A first transmission unit is disposed between the first and second positioning boards. A second transmission unit is disposed between the second positioning board and the positioning block. Each of the first and second transmission units includes a wheel mounted on the first shaft, a cam mounted on the second shaft, and a sliding block movable between the wheel and the cam, with each sliding block selectively stopping the wheel or the cam to prevent rotation of the first or second shaft, providing multi-stage switching.

  • Patent number: 8549548
    Abstract: A disc tray for a printing device includes a driving mover including a first guiding portion; a main body including a disc receiver having a holding portion and a sloping portion connected with each other, a second guiding portion engaged with the first guiding portion, and a third guiding portion, with the driving mover driving the main body by way of the first guiding portion and the second guiding portion to move the main body; and a supporter including a fourth guiding portion engaged with the third guiding portion to allow the fourth guiding portion to move along the third guiding portion. The supporter and the holding portion are used to support a printed disc. When the disc receiver receives the printed disc, the supporter is moved to be veiled under the main body for dropping the printed disc from the sloping portion of the disc receiver.

  • Publication number: 20130104153
    Abstract: A system and a method of controlling a processing device for automatically and continuously processing discs are disclosed. The method comprises: determining if a tray in a processing system is opened by adapting a first sensor; determining if any one of the discs is loaded in the tray by adapting the second sensor; in the event of the tray being opened and one disc being loaded, unloading the loaded disc by adapting a transporting device; in the event of the tray being opened and no disc being loaded, loading one disc by adapting the transporting device; and closing the tray for processing the one disc being loaded in the tray transported by the transporting device and controlled by the computer.

  • Patent number: 8059520
    Abstract: A device and a method for automatically turning over a disc relate to a guide rod provided with a movable member. The movable member is assembled to a rotating member via a pivot member in such a manner that the movable member can axially move along and radially rotate around the guide rod. The pivot member is disposed between the movable member and the rotating member and powered to rotate. The rotating member is provided with a disc-carrying device in a direction of its rotation around the pivot member for taking the disc. The pivot member drives the disc to rotate via the rotating member, so as to turn over the disc, so that the rotating member makes the disc slide down into the tray in an inclined manner.
