Disks have successfully applied on audio and CD-ROM systems, so the disk changer mechanisms become a necessary entertainment and information instrument in modern life. The purpose of this work is to develop a systematic methodology for the creative design of disk changer mechanisms. First, the function structure of disk changer mechanisms is constructed by functional analysis method. Next, the desired design requirements and constraints are deduced. All the possible motion variants are synthesized for disk changer mechanisms. Then, all the possible mechanisms for each motion variant are enumerated by using the desing catalog. Finally, all design concept variants can be synthesized by using morphological chart method. Several design concepts can be created for new disk changer mechanisms. The results of this work are of benefit to the development and design of new disk changer mechanisms.
