An optical disc device and a disc changer drive capable of achieving a
reduction in cost and number of articles and a reduction in size of the
disc drive with a simple configuration rather than the prior art and also
carrying out a stable playing/writing operation are provided. An optical
disc device includes a playing chassis which is supported turnably on a
main body of the disc drive and on which a turntable is installed, a
substantially Y-shaped cam groove formed on the playing chassis, a
driving lever on which a substantially T-shaped cam groove is formed and
which transmits a power to a holding portion of the disc, and a turning
lever supported turnably on the main body and engaged with the playing
chassis and the cam groove of the driving lever via a driving shaft,
wherein a turning of the turning lever is followed by a turning of the
playing chassis and a movement of the driving lever that follows the
turning of the playing chassis to hold a disc as a series of operations.
