Abstract:
An optical disk drive with multiple optical pick-up heads is provided. The optical disk drive includes an upper cover, a base, a first carrier member, a second carrier member, a first limiting member, and a second limiting member. The base is disposed under the upper cover. The first carrier member disposed on the base and has a first optical pick-up head. The second carrier member is disposed on the upper cover and has a second optical pick-up head. The first limiting member is used for disposing the first end of the second carrier member on the upper cover. The second limiting member is used for disposing the second end of the second carrier member on the upper cover. The length of the first limiting member is larger than that of the second limiting member.
Abstract:
[Object] To prevent the occurrence of stuck without increasing the number of components and also to restore thread engagement of a rack with a lead screw to a normal condition.[Solution] Provided is an optical pickup including: a light source; an objective lens; an optical element; and an optical element driving device. The optical element driving device includes a lead screw having a threaded engagement portion with a thread groove formed in the threaded engagement portion, a drive unit configured to allow the lead screw to rotate, a thrust bearing configured to support an end portion of the lead screw on a side opposite to the drive unit in an axial direction of the lead screw, and a rack having a plurality of first tooth portions provided spaced apart in the axial direction to be threadably engaged with the threaded engagement portion and a second tooth portion provided closer to the thrust bearing in the axial direction than the first tooth portion to be threadably engaged with the threaded engagement portion, the first tooth portion and the second tooth portion being positioned on opposite sides across the lead screw, the rack being moved in the axial direction with a rotation of the lead screw. The lead screw includes a non-threaded engagement portion formed at the end portion of the lead screw on the thrust bearing side, the non-threaded engagement portion having no thread groove.
Abstract:
An optical element holder comprises a placement face on which an optical element is placed, the placement face obtained using one face of a sheet of metal; a positioning wall used for positioning the optical element placed on the placement face, the positioning wall being a stepped portion obtained by folding of the sheet of metal; and a spring section, which is a portion obtained by further folding of part of the portion folded over in order to obtain the positioning wall.
Abstract:
An optical disk drive including: a housing; a tray installed in the housing; an optical pickup unit mounted in the tray; and a guide shaft mounted in the tray such that the optical pickup unit and the guide shaft are configured such that the optical pickup unit is reciprocally movable along the guide shaft.
Abstract:
An optical disc device includes a pickup, a driving mechanism that drives the pickup, and a driving controlling portion that applies an initial driving voltage to the driving mechanism over a specific time interval up until the pickup arrives at an outermost position on an outer peripheral side, the initial driving voltage causing the pickup to arrive at the outermost position. After the specific time interval has elapsed, the driving controlling portion applies, to the driving mechanism, an adjustment driving voltage of a voltage amplitude less than a voltage amplitude of the initial driving voltage or a driving frequency less than a driving frequency of the initial driving voltage.
Abstract:
A pickup damper is provided. The pickup damper is configured to be installed adjacent to a plurality of guide shafts installed on opposite sides of an opening of a base chassis, configured to collide with a pickup and relieve shock via at least three steps in response to an external shock being applied, and configured to prevent the pickup from colliding with the guide shafts to protect the pickup.
Abstract:
Provided is a disc drive including a main chassis, and a tray, which may receive a disc thereon, and is arranged to slide into and out of the main chassis. The tray includes a pickup transporting unit which linearly moves a pickup base in a radial direction of the disc and includes a step motor and a lead screw. The lead screw includes a plurality of sections with different diameters.
Abstract:
A flexible cable is provided. The flexible cable includes a base film having a band shape, a plurality of wiring layers disposed on the base film and extending in one direction, and a plurality of elasticity-adjusting patterns attached to a portion of the base film and partially adjusting the elasticity of the flexible cable.
Abstract:
A traverse module includes a frame, a guiding shaft, an optical module, a cover, and a conductive member. The guiding shaft is mounted to the frame. The optical module is slidably mounted to the guiding shaft, and the optical module is capable of generating high frequency electrical signals which cause electro magnetic interference. The high frequency electrical signals are capable of flowing to the guiding shaft. The cover is grounded, the cover covers the frame. The conductive member projects from the cover and tightly clamps the guiding shaft, and the high frequency electrical signals generated by the optical module can flow to ground by using the conductive member.
Abstract:
A mounting structure of a magnetic member at least includes: a magnetic member; a magnetic coupling member mounted with the magnetic member; and an adhesive member bonding the magnetic member to the magnetic coupling member, either one or both of the magnetic member and the magnetic coupling member provided with an adhesion securing portion configured to secure adhesive strength, either one or both of the magnetic member and the magnetic coupling member provided with an adhesive member reservoir portion configured to lead the adhesive member to the adhesion securing portion.
