Abstract
To provide an optical disc device in which the number of parts is small, and quietness can be secured with a simple mechanism. The optical disc device includes a main body having a disc insertion/removal port, and a conveying roller for conveying a disc between the disc insertion/removal port and a disc receiving position in the main body, and also includes a swinging lever which is pivotally supported at its proximal end on a supporting shaft within the main body, and has a disc arrival switch fixed thereto, and a detection lever which is pivotally supported at its proximal end on the supporting shaft, and contacts an outer periphery of the disc (which is to be received in the disc receiving position) at its distal end to operate the disc arrival switch, and when the disc is to be inserted into the disc receiving position, the detection lever is projected into the disc receiving position.
