Abstract
A loading mechanism of disk type data storage device for accessing data from a disk is disclosed. The mechanism comprises a main chassis having a sliding slot and a rotating shaft, a disk tray mounted to the main chassis for the loading of the disk; an optical pick-up module mounted to the main chassis for accessing data from the disk; a height controlling arm for height controlling of the optical pick-up module; a motor driving a transmission gear module; a sliding rack contained in the sliding slot of the main chassis and driven by the transmission gear module so as to drive the height controlling arm; a first detecting switch to stop the motor after the disk tray is fully loaded into the main chassis; and a second detecting switch to stop the motor when the disk tray is fully unloaded from the main chassis.
