AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, the problem with the conventional disk drive as shown in Figures 1 and 2 is that it cannot adequately shield or stop these fragments of broken discs with high kinetic energy, because the door 140 simply closes due to the elastic force of the spring 150

Embodiment Construction

[0016] FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of a disk drive according to the present invention, and FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view of a front panel assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention. 3 and 4, there are shown a main body 210 of the disk drive and a front panel part 200 mounted on the front of the main body 210. Referring to FIG.

[0017] The main body 210 includes a spindle motor 211 , a pick-up unit 215 and a tray 220 . The spindle motor 211 rotates the optical disk 280, and has a shaft, and the turntable 212 accommodating the optical disk 280 is engaged with the shaft. When the optical disc 280 rotates, the pick-up unit 215 moves in and out in the radial direction of the optical disc 280 to read information from and / or write information to the recording area of ​​the optical disc 280 . The tray 220 has a container 221 for accommodating an optical disc 280 . The tray 220 is assembled with the main body and can slide in and out of the main body 210 in...

Abstract

A disk drive having a body including: a spindle motor for rotating a disk; a pickup unit for accessing the disk; a tray for accommodating the disk, which retracts and extends from the body; and a front panel assembly mounted on the body, which allows the tray to retract and extend. The front panel assembly has a front panel with an entrance, through which the tray retracts and extends, a door rotationally assembled with the front panel to open and close the entrance in connection with movements of the tray, an elastic member that provides an elastic force to the door in the direction of closing the entrance, a door locking apparatus that selectively allows and prevents the rotation of the door in connection with the movements of the tray. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the door from opening while the tray is in a retracted state.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a front panel part of a disk drive, and a disk drive including the part. More particularly, the present invention relates to a front panel assembly for a disc drive having a door locking mechanism for selectively locking a door through which trays pass in and out, and to a disc drive including the same. Background technique [0002] In general, a magnetic disk drive is a device that records information to and / or reproduces information from an optical disk, such as a compact disk (CD), digital video disk (DVD), or the like. The magnetic disk drive includes a tray for accommodating an optical disc, which is mounted on or unloaded from the main body, and a front panel part, which has an entrance through which the tray enters and exits, and which is mounted on the front of the main body. [0003] Figure 1 is an exploded perspective view of a conventional front panel assembly of a disk drive, figure 2 It is a sectional vie...
