Abstract:
1. A disk carrier mechanism for carrying a disk between an inserted position and a reading position, the inserted position being located on the disk carrier mechanism for holding the disk and the reading position being the position of a chuck of an optical disk drive for coupling with the opening of the disk, the disk carrier mechanism comprising: a wedged member set including a plurality of wedged members each having a wedged part; a fixing board having a plurality of guiding slots; a sliding board having a plurality of fixing holes corresponding to the guiding slots, the dimensions of the fixing holes corresponding to the wedged member such that the wedged member being coupled with the fixing hole and the guiding slot, the sliding board being slidably mounted onto another side of the fixing board when the wedged part is located on one side of the fixing board; and a driver set mounted onto the fixing board such that when the disk is mounted and wedged in the wedged part, the disk pushes the wedged member set to move along the guiding slots to drive the sliding board to move relative to the fixing board until reaching the driver set and the driver set drives the sliding board to move the disk through the wedged member set to the reading position; when the disk is retracted the driver set drives the sliding board and the wedged member set moves along the guiding slots to wedge the disk in the wedged part of the wedged member set, and the disk is moved to the inserted position by the wedged member set when the sliding board is separated from the driver set.
