Abstract

An optical disc drive includes a main body, a cover, an extension, and an elastic element. The cover includes a pivoting portion and is pivotably connected to the main body via the pivoting portion. The extension is connected to the pivoting portion. The cover is adapted for pivoting relative to the main body to drive the extension to move along a movement path. The elastic element is disposed on the main body and includes two first limiting portions opposite to each other. The movement path extends through a gap between the two first limiting portions. A distance between the two first limiting portions is smaller than an outer diameter of the extension.
