Abstract
A disc loading apparatus of an optical disc player includes components of a loading mechanism interacting with each other and steadily performing multiple functions such that reliability of loading/unloading of an optical disc enhanced and the number of components is reduced. The disc loading apparatus includes a main frame having a loading motor loading optical discs of different sizes to a chucking position, a base plate, a guide lever guiding the optical discs to the chucking position, a locking lever selectively locking/releasing the guide lever according to the disc loading position, a slider reciprocating in the loading/unloading directions of the optical disc and selectively receiving a driving force of the loading motor according to the traveling positions, and a connector rotating and translating to move in association with the guide lever, the slider, and the locking lever. The connector transfers the movement of the guide lever to the slider.
