Abstract
An optical disk drive with an anti-tilt tray. The optical disk drive has a top protrusion, a fulcrum and a tray disposed on the main body of the optical disk drive along a track constrained by the top protrusion and the fulcrum. The tray is movable between a first position and a second position. Each track of the tray has a gradually thickened area. When the tray is in the second position, the top protrusion and the fulcrum contact the gradually thickened area, such that the gap between the track and the top protrusion is reduced, preventing the tray from vertical tilting.
