Patent ID: 7487517

Claim:
An optical disc access control and storage apparatus comprising: a rotating plate comprising multiple slots therein for storing discs and rotating the same; a first disc-pushing mechanism comprising: a frame, forming a channel therein for allowing a disc stored on said rotating plate to stay or pass through; and a disc-pushing shaft, having one end installed in said frame for pushing said disc in a radial direction of said disc; a second disc-pushing mechanism comprising: a positioning slot, for positioning said disc pushed by said first disc-pushing mechanism; and a first detecting device, for detecting whether said disc is positioned in said positioning slot; an auxiliary-fixing mechanism, comprising: a clamp for clamping said disc in said positioning slot; a stretchable arm, having one end connected to said clamp; and a first driving mechanism, for controlling said stretchable arm and said clamp; a seizing mechanism, comprising multiple claws, said multiple claws being able to pass through a central hole of said disc in said positioning slot when gathered together, which then expand outwardly to seize said disc; a rotating mechanism, connected to said seizing mechanism for rotating said seizing mechanism in either a leftward or rightward direction up to 90 degrees respectively; a coordinate-displacing mechanism, connected to said rotating mechanism, for controlling vertical and horizontal positions of said seizing mechanism; and at least one disc player, each said disc player comprising a tray stretchably received therein for receiving said disc released from said seizing mechanism; wherein said optical disc access control and storage apparatus selects said disc through a software of a computer connected thereto and pushes said disc in said first disc-pushing mechanism to said second disc-pushing mechanism, said auxiliary-fixing mechanism fixing said disc positioned in said second disc-pushing mechanism, said seizing mechanism seizing said disc through said rotating mechanism and said coordinate-displacing mechanism, then said auxiliary-fixing mechanism releasing said disc and said seizing mechanism releasing said disc to said tray of said player through said rotating mechanism and said coordinate-displacing mechanism.
