TRAY EJECT APPARATUS OF DISK DRIVE

摘要

PURPOSE: A tray eject apparatus of a disk drive is provided to simplify a structure of an eject and a tray by releasing a tray by using a lead screw or a feeding guide according to driving of a sled motor. CONSTITUTION: A sled motor (46) is fixed on a tray (2) to be driven in a recording/reproducing mode or in an eject mode to generate a rotational driving force. A lead screw (47) is rotated by the driving of the sled motor (46) to guide conveying of an optical pick-up unit (12). A feeding guide (45) is fixed at the optical pick-up unit (12), facing the lead screw (47). A protrusion (44) slidably inserted to a thread of the lead screw (47) is formed at a side wall of the feeding guide (45). An eject locking level (53) is rotatably installed at a rotational shaft (53h) formed on a tray (2) and elastically supported by the side wall end portion of the feeding guide (45) by virtue of a spring (56).
