ABSTRACT:
A radially reciprocating cleaning device for compact disc, including: a lower casing in which a retaining wheel is rotatably disposed, a circumference of the retaining wheel being formed with a gear section: an upper casing one end of which is pivotally connected with the lower casing for snugly mating the upper casing with the lower casing; and a cleaning mechanism including a slide board slidably disposed on a bottom of the upper casing and connected with at least one wiping member positioned on a compact disc rested on the retaining wheel. The cleaning mechanism further includes a rotary tray rotatably mounted on the upper casing for driving a cam disc to rotate. A driving post of the cam disc is slidably fitted in a longitudinal guide slot of the slide board, whereby when the upper and lower casings are mated with each other, a driving gear projecting from bottom end of the cam disc drivingly meshes with the gear section of the retaining wheel. Accordingly, by means of rotating the rotary tray, the cam disc rotarily drives the retaining wheel and makes the slide board linearly reciprocally slide. At this time, the wiping member connected with the slide board radially reciprocally wipes the compact disc to clean up the dirts accumulating thereon.
