[Disk unit operation]
Next, the operation of the disk device 100 will be described.

In a state where the tray 300 as shown in FIG. 1 is housed in the case body 200, when the user performs an input operation on the eject button provided on the decorative board 301, the control circuit unit controls the operation unit of the opening / closing regulating unit. The restriction claw portion is moved, the engagement state of the tray 300 with the tray lock portion is released, and the tray 300 is unlocked.
Then, for example, when the decorative plate 301 is pulled out in a state in which the tray 300 is unlocked, the tray 300 is supported by the rail portion 210 and is slid outward from the opening 201A. At this time, the rotation moving part 320 is in a state in which the rotation is restricted with respect to the advancing / retreating moving part 310 because the engaging pin 321 moves by being engaged with the linear guide part 221 of the guide groove 220 of the case body 200. It has become.

When the tray 300 is pulled out to a predetermined position by a slide movement that pulls out the tray 300 by the user, a part of the back side of the tray 300 is placed on the case body 200 by the restriction mechanism of the case body 200 and the discharge restriction portion of the tray 300. The tray 300 advances from the case body 200 while being housed inside.
At this time, the engaging pin 321 of the rotation moving unit 320 moves to the front 201 side end of the linear guide unit 221 and is engaged with the arc guide unit 222. Then, the rotational movement unit 320 is urged in the clockwise direction away from the case body 200 by the urging spring 322, and the engagement pin 321 moves along the arc guide unit 222. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 2, the rotation moving unit 320 rotates in the clockwise direction with respect to the advance / retreat moving unit 310, and the disk processing unit 20 advances from the case body 200 to the outside.

Thereafter, the center hole of the optical disk is engaged with the turntable 23 of the disk processing unit 20, and as shown in FIG. 4, the user rotates the rotation movement unit 320 in the counterclockwise direction to bring it close to the case body 200.

Therefore, for example, there is no inconvenience that the disk processing unit 20 is moved by the rotation of the rotation moving unit 320 while the disk processing unit 20 performs predetermined information processing on the optical disk. Good information processing can be implemented.
Further, the engagement pin 321 moves along the arc guide portion 222 in a state where the tray 300 is ejected. For this reason, when the engagement pin 321 moves to the end of the arc guide portion 222, the rotation of the rotation moving portion 320 can be restricted.

Therefore, since the length dimension of the circular arc guide part 222 can be enlarged, the rotation amount of the rotation moving part 320 can also be increased. Therefore, the disk processing unit 20 can be sufficiently pulled out in the direction away from the case body 200, and the work of detaching the optical disk from the turntable 23 can be performed more easily.

The pivot pin 314 is provided with a biasing spring 322 that biases the rotational movement unit 320 in a direction away from the case body 200.
For this reason, in a state where the tray 300 is ejected from the case body 200, the biasing spring 322 can rotate the rotational movement unit 320 in a direction away from the case body 200. Therefore, it is not necessary for the user to operate the rotational movement unit 320 in order to detach the optical disk from the turntable 23, and the detachment work of the optical disk can be performed more easily.

Further, in a state where the tray 300 is housed in the case body 200, a leaf spring 323 is provided on a part of the rotational movement unit 320 that faces the right side surface 205 of the casing main body 200 </ b> A, and It is biased toward the left side surface 204 side.
