Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to an information device having a disk drive device inside a housing. [0002] Flexible disk (FD: Flexible D)
isk), read-only disk (CD-ROM: Compact Disk-
Read Only Memory, magneto-optical disk (MO: Magneto Op)
2. Description of the Related Art A disk drive device for recording or reproducing data on or from other disks is used as an external storage / reproduction device for information devices such as personal computers. [0003] There is an information device provided with the disk drive device inside a housing. Such an information device usually does not use the disk drive device, but uses the disk drive device in a process of confirming the operation of the information device in a manufacturing process, and during maintenance or inspection of the information device. [0004] The operation check of information equipment,
When using a disk drive for maintenance or inspection, the user sometimes forgets to eject the disk from the disk drive. When a user activates an information device while a disc is inserted in the disc drive device, the information device attempts to reproduce data from the disc and may cause a malfunction. Since the information device does not operate normally, the user may have an illusion that the information device has failed. Further, when the information equipment is transported while the disk is inserted in the disk drive, the head for recording or reproducing data on the disk may come into contact with the disk due to vibration, and the head may be damaged. . SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and has as its object to provide an information device capable of reliably ejecting a disk from a disk drive. [0007] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the invention according to claim 1 of the present application provides a lid that has a disk drive device inside a housing and opens and closes one surface of the housing. In the information device provided with a unit, the disk drive device includes an insertion unit for inserting a disk on the front surface, and an eject operation unit that is located near the insertion unit and ejects the disk from the disk drive device, wherein the lid unit is A lid provided on a rear surface of the lid at a position opposite to the ejecting operation unit, and a door portion openable and closable at a position opposite to the insertion unit, wherein a disk is inserted into the disk drive device. When the lid is closed while the operation is being performed, the protrusion presses the eject operation section, and the disc ejected by the insertion section is ejected from the door section. You. Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of an information device according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a cross-sectional configuration of a lid of an information device and an FD drive device according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a cross-sectional configuration of the FD drive device when an FD is inserted. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a cross-sectional configuration of the lid and the FD drive device when the FD is discharged. 1 to 4, reference numeral 1 denotes an FD, 2 denotes an FD drive device, 3 denotes an insertion portion for inserting the FD1, 4 denotes an eject button for discharging the FD1, and 5 denotes a lid for opening and closing the front of the housing of the information equipment. Reference numeral 6 denotes a door unit that opens and closes when the FD 1 discharged from the insertion unit 3 is discharged to the outside of the information device. Reference numeral 7 denotes a projection provided on the back surface of the lid unit 5 that presses the eject button 4. Reference numeral 8 denotes a door. 5 shows a stopper for supporting the unit 6 so as not to open inside the housing of the information device. The FD 1 is inserted from the insertion section 3 of the FD drive device 2. As shown in FIG. 1, the eject button 4
Is installed near the insertion section 3 of the FD drive device 2. In addition, as shown in FIG.
If 1 is not inserted, the eject button 4
The drive device 2 does not protrude from the front surface.
As shown in FIG. 3, when the FD 1 is inserted into the FD drive device 2, the eject button 4 is configured to protrude to the front of the FD drive device 2. When the eject button 4 is pressed, the FD 1 is inserted into the insertion portion 3 of the FD drive device 2.
Is discharged from [0011] The door 6 is FD when the lid 5 is closed.
The drive device 2 is installed at a position facing the insertion portion 3. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the stopper 8 is provided on the back surface of the lid 5. When the lid 5 is closed,
When trying to insert the FD 1 from the door unit 6 into the insertion unit 3 of the FD drive device 2, the door unit 6 comes into contact with the stopper unit 8 and does not open inside the information device. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the FD 1 from being inserted into the FD drive device 2 with the lid 5 closed. The lid 5 has a convex portion 7 on the back surface.
It has. The protrusion 7 is provided at a position where the protrusion 7 comes into contact with the eject button 4 of the FD drive device 2 when the lid 5 is closed. When the information equipment of this embodiment is normally used,
The cover 5 is fixed to the housing of the information device in a state where the cover 5 is closed by a screw or the like. In this state, the FD
1 cannot be inserted into the FD drive device 2. First, a case where the FD 1 is not inserted into the FD drive device 2 inside the housing of the information equipment according to the present embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, the FD drive device 2
When 1 is not inserted, the eject button 4 does not protrude. In this state, even if the lid 5 is closed,
The eject button 4 is not pressed because the projection 7 does not contact the eject button 4. Next, a case where the FD 1 is inserted into the FD drive device 2 inside the housing of the information equipment according to the present embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, the FD drive device 2
When 1 is inserted, the eject button 4 protrudes forward. For this reason, when the lid 5 is closed, the projection 7 comes into contact with the eject button 4, and the eject button 4 is pressed. Then, the FD 1 inserted into the FD drive device 2 is discharged from the insertion unit 3. As shown in FIG. 4, the FD 1 discharged from the FD drive device 2 presses the door unit 6 and is discharged to the outside of the information device. According to the above-described embodiment, when the lid 5 is closed while forgetting to eject the FD 1 with the FD 1 inserted into the FD drive device 2 during operation check, maintenance and inspection of the information equipment, the lid 5 is closed. The protrusion 7 installed on the back of the device presses the eject button 4, so that the FD 1 can be discharged from the FD drive device 2. Therefore, when the lid 5 is closed, the FD 1 is always discharged from the FD drive device 2.
It is possible to prevent malfunction of the information equipment and damage to the head for recording or reproducing data on the FD 1. In the above embodiment, the disk drive device is described as an FD drive device. However, the disk drive device is not limited to the FD drive device, but may be a disk drive device capable of recording or reproducing data on a disk such as an MO or a CD-ROM. According to the information equipment of the present invention, there is provided an information equipment capable of reliably discharging FD from an FD drive even if one forgets to discharge FD from the FD drive. be able to.
