Abstract: An optical disk drive and method of determining working distance are provided. The optical disk drive includes an optical pick-up head having an objective lens to access an optical disk. Working distance is the distance between the optical disk and the objective lens. Firstly, the optical pick-up head emits a beam to the optical disk and receives a reflective beam to generate a sum signal. The objective lens is at an initial position. Next, whether the value of the sum signal is larger than a threshold value is determined. If yes, the objective lens is in a first area, otherwise the objective lens moves a first test distance away from the optical disk to check whether the optical disk is in a second area. If yes, the method is terminated, otherwise the objective lens moves a second test distance towards the optical disk to check whether the objective lens is in a third area.

Abstract: An auto-balancing apparatus for optical disk drives mainly includes a housing for holding a balance weight and a plurality of clamp mechanisms movable radially through the perimeter of the housing. The clamp mechanisms are engaged with a spindle of a spindle motor or the housing through elastic elements. When the spindle motor is not rotating, the balance weight is anchored at a desired position by the clamp mechanisms because of the elastic force of the elastic elements. When operating at high rotation speeds, the engagement force of the elastic elements exerted on the clamp mechanisms is smaller than the centrifugal force, and the balance weight may be moved freely to automatically reach a balanced condition. When operating at low rotation speeds, the server system drives the spindle motor to rotate at speeds faster than the critical rotation speed to reach a balanced condition, then slows down the rotation speed to allow the engagement force exerted on the clamp mechanisms to be greater than the centrifugal force and anchor the balance weight. Thus the auto-balancing apparatus can achieve a balance effect at low rotation speeds.
