Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0028] Example

[0029] Reference Figures 1-5 An expandable Blu-ray disc library includes a base 1, and the disc library also includes:

[0030] The first electric push rod 2 is configured as four, and the bottom ends of the four first electric push rods 2 are all fixedly installed on the top of the base 1;

[0031] The bottom of the pressure plate 3 is fixedly installed with the output shafts of the four first electric push rods 2 respectively;

[0032] Optical drive bay 4, which is configured as multiple, are all located on the top of the base 1, and are stacked sequentially from bottom to top;

[0033] The support components are configured in four parts and are mounted on the base 1. The support components are used to brake and move the base 1.

[0034] With the above structure: by placing the optical drive bay 4 on top of the base 1, and then stacking the remaining optical drive bays 4 in sequence, the first electric push rod 2 can drive the pressure plate 3 to move down and achieve pressing and fixing of multiple optical drive bays 4. The number of optical drive bays 4 used can be increased or decreased as needed, which has high expandability, improves the convenience and applicability of use, and the individual optical drive bays 4 are easy to disassemble and assemble, thus making subsequent maintenance convenient.

[0035] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the top of the base 1 and the top of the multiple optical drive bays 4 are provided with positioning grooves 6, and there are multiple positioning grooves 6. The bottom of the pressure plate 3 and the bottom of the multiple optical drive bays 4 are fixedly installed with positioning pins 5, and there are multiple positioning pins 5. The bottom end of the positioning pin 5 can be disengaged and inserted into the corresponding positioning groove 6. By limiting the insertion between the positioning pin 5 and the corresponding positioning groove 6, the installation stability of each optical drive bay 4 can be guaranteed.

[0036] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, rubber rings 7 are fixedly installed on the bottom of the pressure plate 3 and the bottom of the multiple optical drive bays 4. The bottom of the rubber rings 7 is in contact with the top of the corresponding optical drive bays 4. By setting the rubber rings 7, shock absorption and buffering can be provided between two adjacent optical drive bays 4 to achieve contact protection.

[0037] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, sockets are fixedly installed on the top of the base 1 and the rear sides of the multiple optical drive bays 4. The top of the sockets is provided with a power slot 11, a data slot 12 and a network slot 13, respectively. Power plugs 8, data plugs 9 and network plugs 10 are fixedly installed on the rear sides of the optical drive bays 4, respectively. Power plug 8 is plugged into the corresponding power slot 11, data plug 9 is plugged into the corresponding data slot 12 and network plug 10 is plugged into the corresponding network slot 13. Through the plugging of power plug 8 into power slot 11, data plug 9 into data slot 12 and network plug 10 into network slot 13, it is possible to quickly connect the optical drive bays 4 for power, data and network.

[0038] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the support assembly includes a support tube 14, a second electric push rod 16, and a shifting wheel 17. The top end of the support tube 14 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the base 1, and the second electric push rod 16 is fixedly installed at the top of the base 1. The output shaft of the second electric push rod 16 passes through the base 1 and extends into the corresponding support tube 14. The shifting wheel 17 is disposed in the corresponding support tube 14, and the output shaft of the second electric push rod 16 is fixedly installed with the top of the corresponding shifting wheel 17. By setting the support tube 14, stable support and braking of the base 1 and multiple optical drive bays 4 can be achieved. At the same time, when movement is required, activating the four second electric push rods 16 can drive the four shifting wheels 17 to move down and out of the support tube 14. This is because the shifting wheels 17 support the base 1, thereby achieving stable movement of the base 1 and multiple optical drive bays 4 and improving ease of use.

[0039] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, an anti-slip pad 15 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the support tube 14. By setting the anti-slip pad 15, the support tube 14 and the base 1 can be stably damped and supported, thereby improving braking stability.

[0040] It should be noted that the specific models of the first electric actuator 2, optical drive bay 4, power plug 8, data plug 9, network plug 10, power slot 11, data slot 12, network slot 13, and second electric actuator 16 used can be selected by those skilled in the art. Furthermore, the above-mentioned components, including the first electric actuator 2, optical drive bay 4, power plug 8, data plug 9, network plug 10, power slot 11, data slot 12, network slot 13, and second electric actuator 16, are all existing technologies and will not be elaborated upon in this solution.

[0041] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: In use, first connect the external power supply, then place the optical drive bay 4 on top of the base 1, and then stack the remaining optical drive bays 4 in sequence. Activating the first electric push rod 2 moves the pressure plate 3 downwards, thus pressing and fixing the multiple optical drive bays 4. The number of optical drive bays 4 can be increased or decreased as needed, offering high expandability and improving ease of use and applicability. Furthermore, the individual optical drive bays 4 are easy to assemble and disassemble, facilitating subsequent maintenance. This is achieved through the connection between the power plug 8 and the power slot 11, and the data... The connection between plug 9 and data slot 12 and between network plug 10 and network slot 13 facilitates quick power, data, and network connections between the optical drive bays 4. In addition, the support tube 14 provides stable support and braking for the base 1 and multiple optical drive bays 4. When movement is required, activating the four second electric push rods 16 drives the four shift wheels 17 to move down and out of the support tube 14. By supporting the base 1 with the shift wheels 17, stable movement of the base 1 and multiple optical drive bays 4 can be achieved, improving ease of use.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
