An adjustment apparatus for regulating the inclination angle of a spindle motor
of an optical disk drive is disclosed. The spindle motor is mounted on a driving
circuit board which is mounted in a traverse module. The adjustment apparatus comprises
an optic axis regulating tool for containing the traverse module and regulating
the inclination angle of the spindle motor. The top surface of the optic axis regulating
tool has an opening to expose the spindle motor and a guide rail of the traverse
module. A standard plate is placed against on the guide rail, wherein the upper
surface of the standard plate is in parallel with the guide rail. A comparable
turning wheel is placed to cover the spindle motor, wherein the upper surface of
the comparable turning wheel is in parallel with the rotation plane of the spindle
motor and a plurality of turbine-like blades are set at the edge of the comparable
turning wheel. A gaseous spray nozzle is mounted on the top surface of the optic
axis regulating tool and sprays gas out toward the turbine-like blades to drive
rotation of the comparable turning wheel and to simultaneously drive rotation of
the spindle motor. An autocollimator emits light beams respectively onto the standard
plate and the comparable turning wheel and detects the reflective light beams thereof
to show the light spots on the screen. An operator can regulate the inclination
angle of the spindle motor based on the light spots on the screen.
