Please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 together, which are schematic diagrams of the electronic device 1 when the optical drive tray 20 does not protrude from the front panel 30 and corresponding schematic diagrams where the tray 20 is omitted. The drive structure of the CD-ROM protection door includes a contact guide part 107, the contact guide part 107 is in contact with the tray 20 and the CD-ROM protection door 108, and is used for force transmission between the tray 20 and the CD-ROM protection door. When the tray 20 is triggered to eject or retract into the host 10, the outer frame 201 of the tray 20 acts on the optical drive protection door 108 through the contact derivation portion 107, and supports the optical drive protection door 108 to open or close accordingly.

In this embodiment, the optical drive protection door 108 includes a lower door panel 103 and an upper door panel 104, both of which are triangular. The driving structure of the optical drive protection door also includes a first hook 101 and a second hook 102 arranged on both sides of the optical drive tray exit 301, and the two hooks 101, 102 respectively form a track groove (not shown in the figure) . The two triangular vertices 1031, 1041 of the lower door panel 103 and the upper door panel 104 are respectively fixed in the track grooves formed by the first hook 101 and the second hook 102. The two opposite sliding ends 1032 and 1042 of the triangular base are respectively accommodated in the track grooves of the hook 102 and the hook 101 and can slide in the track grooves. Thereby, the lower door panel 103 can be rotated in the vertical direction with the fixed end 1031 as the apex and the sliding end 1032 as the rotating end, and the upper door panel 104 can be rotated vertically with the fixed end 1041 as the apex and the sliding end 1042 as the rotating end. turn.

In the initial state where the tray 20 is ejected from the front panel 30 of the mainframe 10 without being triggered, the upper door panel 103 and the lower door panel 104 are tightly closed in the vertical direction to form a rectangular door panel to protect the optical drive protection door 108 located in the mainframe 10. The optical drive at the back. In this embodiment, in order to make the door panels 103, 104 tightly closed, magnets (not shown in the figure) are respectively installed on the door panels 103, 104, so that the two door panels 103, 104 can be tightly closed without the action of external force. closure. In other embodiments, the lower door panel 103 and the upper door panel 104 are fan-shaped, and the round points of the two fan shapes correspond to the fixed ends 1031 and 1041 respectively, and the arc sides of the two fan shapes correspond to the sliding ends 1032 and 1041 respectively. 1042, the lower door panel 103 and the upper door panel 104 can rotate in the vertical direction with the fixed ends 1031, 1041 as axes respectively.

In this embodiment, the contact guiding part 107 includes a first arc-shaped piece 105 and a second arc-shaped piece 106, and the first arc-shaped piece 105 and the second arc-shaped piece 106 are respectively arranged on two sides of the optical drive tray outlet 301. On the side, the two ends of one side of the arc-shaped pieces 105, 106 are respectively provided with fixed ends 1051, 1061 and sliding ends 1052, 1062, and a supporting slide bar 1053 is arranged between the fixed end 1051 and the sliding end 1052. A support slide bar 1063 is arranged between the fixed end 1061 and the sliding end 1062, and the fixed end 1051 of the first arc-shaped piece 105 and the fixed end 1061 of the second arc-shaped piece 106 are respectively fixed on the upper door panel 104 and the lower door panel 103 superior.

Please refer to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 together, which are schematic diagrams when the optical drive tray 20 of the electronic device 1 protrudes from the front panel 30 and corresponding schematic diagrams where the tray 20 is omitted. As shown in Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, a sliding groove 1033, 1043 is respectively arranged on the lower door panel 103 and the upper door panel 104, and the sliding ends 1052, 1062 of the first arc-shaped piece 105 and the second arc-shaped piece 106 are respectively It is arranged in the chute 1033 of the lower door panel 103 and the chute 1043 of the upper door panel 104 . When the first arc-shaped piece 105 and the second arc-shaped piece 106 are pushed by the pallet 20, the sliding end 1052 of the first arc-shaped piece 105 and the sliding end 1062 of the second arc-shaped piece 106 can move along the The chute 1033 of the lower door panel 103 and the chute 1043 of the upper door panel 104 slide.

When the tray 20 is triggered and ready to eject the front panel 30, the pushing effect of the outer frame 201 of the tray 20 on the arc-shaped pieces 105, 106 on both sides gradually increases, so that the arc-shaped piece 105 is centered on the fixed end 1051. The apex, with the sliding end 1052 as the rotating end, rotates along the chute 1033 of the lower door panel 103, so that the arc piece 106 rotates along the chute 1043 of the upper door panel 104 with the fixed end 1061 as the apex and the sliding end 1062 as the rotating end , at the same time, make the supporting slide bars 1053, 1063 of the arc-shaped sheets 105, 106 support the upper door panel 104 and the lower door panel 103 with their fixed ends 1041, 1031 as shafts to rotate and gradually separate, when two arc-shaped sheets 105, 106 The distance between the upper door panel 104 and the lower door panel 103 reaches the passing height of the tray 20, and the tray 20 can pass through smoothly.

When a part or all of the tray 20 is outside the host machine 10, since the passing width of the outer frame 201 of the tray 20 is always constant, the size of the resistance force of the outer frame 201 of the tray 20 to the two arc-shaped pieces 105, 106 is always constant. change, so that the supporting force of the supporting slide bars 1053, 1063 of the arc-shaped pieces 105, 106 received by the two door panels 103, 104 remains unchanged, so that the distance between the upper door panel 104 and the lower door panel 103 remains constant. The open state of the protection door 108 remains unchanged, and the tray 20 can pass through without hindrance.

When the tray 20 is triggered to retract, from when the tray 20 is fully retracted into the host 10 to when the tray 20 returns to the initial state, the pushing action of the outer frame 201 of the tray 20 on the arc-shaped pieces 105 and 106 on both sides Slowly decrease, and along with the effect of the mutual attraction of the magnets on the upper and lower door panels 104, 103, the arc piece 105 will slide along the lower door panel 103 with the fixed end 1051 as the apex and the sliding end 1052 as the rotating end. Slot 1033 rotates, and makes this arc-shaped piece 106 take fixed end 1061 as apex, take slide end 1062 as rotating end to rotate along the chute 1043 of upper door panel 104, simultaneously, makes the support slide bar 1053 of arc-shaped piece 105,106, 1063 supports the upper door panel 104 and the lower door panel 103 with their fixed ends 1041, 1031 as the axis to rotate and gradually close slowly until they are completely closed. 104 can be sucked together tightly without the effect of external force, to protect the CD-ROM drive that is positioned at the back of protection door 108.

Through the optical drive protection door 108 and the drive structure of the optical drive protection door in the optical drive structure of the present invention, the optical drive in the electronic device 1 can be protected, and the optical drive protection door 108 does not need to be turned outward when opened, and the structure is simple and more beautiful.
