Abstract: A control method for ejecting optical disk from optical disk driver is proposed and applicable to both vertical type and horizontal type optical disk drivers. The control method firstly measures the minimal voltage require by the tray motor to eject a tray with or without an optical disk loaded thereon. Afterward, the disk loading condition of the tray is examined before the ejecting voltage is applied to the tray motor. The minimal voltage determined in above is applied to the tray motor according to the disk loading condition of the tray.

Abstract: A protection method for manual ejection operation of optical disk driver is proposed. The method sets the tray of the optical disk driver to a locked state when the optical disk driver is in normal rotation. The state of a load-sensing switch is on when the tray is in state of disk loading. When a manual ejection is triggered, the state of a load-sensing switch is off and a controller senses the off state. The controller applies a voltage to the tray motor and change the state of the load-sensing switch to on state. Therefore, the tray of an optical disk driver is set to a locked state.

Abstract: A method for controlling an auto-balancing system of an optic disk in an optic disk drive is proposed. As the rotary speed of a spindle motor is not faster than a critical speed, a dither signal of high frequency and micro amplitude is added to a command signal for speeding a maximum rotary speed for reducing friction force, and then the balancing mass successfully moves to a position with a reverse phase opposite to an unbalance vector of the optic disk. After the rotary speed of the spindle motor is higher than a critical speed, the dither signal and then speeding the spindle motor is removed and the motor is accelerated to a maximum rotary speed.
