Abstract
The invention presents an optical drive loader with a manual disk ejecting mechanism comprising a frame, a disk receiving apparatus, a speed reduction apparatus, a driving apparatus, and a disk ejecting actuating part. Relying on the disk ejecting actuating part positioned on the frame, which is provided with a gear portion for driving the speed reduction apparatus and a roll stem portion positioned at the center of the gear portion extruding along the central axis, users can use a tool going through a through hole of the housing turning the roll stem portion to rotate the gear portion and enable the speed reduction apparatus to move the disk receiving apparatus to the feeding/ejecting position. A through hole is disposed on the housing corresponding to the roll stem portion, so as to avoid the through hole being disposed on the operation panel to affect the appearance of the operation panel.
