optical disk storage device

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To decrease the information processing time of an optical disk by providing a mechanism moving an optical disk driver to load automatically an optical disk to the driver in one-way carrying of an optical disk automatic carrier. CONSTITUTION:An optical disk storage 3 is provided to the upper part of an optical disk driver 2 writing or reading the information to an optical disk 1, the disk 1 is moved between the storage 3 and the driver 2 by an optical disk carrying mechanism 4 to store the disk to the storage 3 or to automatically load it to the driver 2. In loading the disk 1, the driver 2 is moved at a position beneath the carrying path of the disk 1 and when the loading is finished, the driver 2 is restored to the original position with the movement in the direction (f) while driving the disk 1. Thus, the time capable of writing or reading the information to/from the optical disk 1 is decreased to improve the performance.
