Disc device

Abstract

A disc device which can ensure an effective area of a printed board is provided by having an operation range of an operation pin for disc detection within a position which does not cause trouble to the printed board. The disc device is characterized in that a chassis exterior is composed of a base main body (10) and a cover, a lever (110) which moves by insertion of a disc is provided on the rear side of the base main body (10), a rear base (13) is provided at a position not overlapping a traverse (30) but covering the printed board (14), an operation pin (114) is provided on a lower plane of a lever, a disc insertion detecting switch (115) is arranged close to the rear side of the printed board (14), and an operation range of the operation pin (114) is within a position closer to the rear plane than a turn supporting point (111) of the lever (100).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an optical disc device for recording on or reading from a disc-shaped recording medium such as a CD or DVD, and more particularly to a so-called slot-in type optical disc device in which an optical disc can be directly inserted or ejected from the outside. Background technique [0002] Most existing optical disc devices adopt a loading method in which the optical disc is placed on a tray or turntable, and the tray or turntable is installed in the device body. [0003] However, in such a loading method, the space required for the tray or the turntable limits the reduction in thickness of the optical disc device body. [0004] On the other hand, for a suction-type optical disk drive, a method has been proposed in which a transport roller is brought into contact with the surface of the disk to suck the disk in (for example, Patent Document 1). [0005] In addition, as a slot-in optical disc device that can achieve thinner...

Problems solved by technology

[0008] However, in the suction method proposed in Patent Document 1, for example, since a conveying roller longer than the diameter of the optical disk is used, the width of the device must be increased, and the thickness of the device must also be increased due to the conveying roller.

[0009] Therefore, in such a slot-in type optical disc device, it is difficult to realize thinning and miniaturization of the optical disc device body.

[0010] On the other hand, in the device of Patent Document 2, although thickness reduction and miniaturization can be realized, in order to realize further thinness and miniaturization, it is necessary to reduce the size of the printed circuit board.
