るものとがある。Prior Art Conventionally, in this type of dust removal mechanism, dust is removed from the recording medium by bringing a brush into contact with the recording medium. There is one in which a brush is brought into contact with a recording medium for a certain period of time.
このような従来の塵埃除去機構では、記録媒体にブラシ
を接触させて記録媒体から塵埃を取除いているので、ブ
ラシにより記録媒体に傷がついてしまう可能性があると
いう欠点がある。In such a conventional dust removal mechanism, since dust is removed from the recording medium by bringing the brush into contact with the recording medium, there is a drawback that the recording medium may be scratched by the brush.

ドルモータ２によって記録媒体３を回転させている。FIG. 1 is a plan view of an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a side view of FIG. 1. In these figures, in an optical disk device according to an embodiment of the present invention, a recording medium 3 is fixed to a spindle motor 2 mounted on a base plate 1, and the recording medium 3 is rotated by the spindle motor 2.

ことができる。In this way, air taken in from the outside by the fan motor 6, air filter 7, and air nozzle 8 is blown onto the lens of the optical head 5 and the recording medium 3, thereby removing dust attached to the lens of the optical head 5 and the recording medium 3. By removing the dust, the dust can be removed without coming into contact with the lens of the optical head 5 and the recording medium 3.
Dust can be removed without damaging the recording medium 3, and dust attached to the lens of the optical head 5 can be removed.
尚、本発明の一実施例では光デイスク装置における塵埃
