[Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an auxiliary magnetic field application device that applies an auxiliary magnetic field in conjunction with a light beam to record information on a magneto-optical recording medium or erase recorded information, and particularly relates to an auxiliary magnetic field application device that applies an auxiliary magnetic field in conjunction with a light beam, and records information on a magneto-optical recording medium or erases recorded information. The present invention relates to an auxiliary magnetic field applying device characterized by the shape of a yoke portion of the magnetic field applying device. [Prior Art] Conventionally, in the magneto-optical method, which is a type of erasable optical disk device, a magnetic film is heated with a laser spot, a magnetic field of several hundred oersted is applied thereto, and when the overheating is removed, the magnetic film changes. Recording and erasing is performed using the principle that magnetization occurs in the direction of an external magnetic field. That is, if a predetermined direction of magnetization is used for recording, the opposite direction is used for erasing. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a first configuration example of a conventional external magnetic field generating device for implementing the above magneto-optical method. In the same figure, the external magnetic field generator 30 is connected to a recording magneto-optical disk 4.
1 and an actuator (for example, a magnet etc.). The permanent magnet 42 is formed into a bar shape extending in the radial direction of the disk 41, and is magnetized in N and S directions in the width direction. The component of the magnetic field of this magnet perpendicular to the disk contributes to the magnetic pole reversal of the magnetic film of the disk 41. That is, as shown in the figure, the direction of the magnetic field is selected by rotating the permanent magnet 2, which has magnetic poles S and N arranged perpendicularly to the disk 41, by 180 degrees around the shaft 43 using an actuator, thereby performing magnetic recording or erasing. will be held. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a second configuration example of a conventional external magnetic field generator. As shown in the figure, this external magnetic field generator 32 is mainly composed of an electromagnet 44. The electromagnet 44 has an elongated shape and is arranged in the radial direction of the magneto-optical recording disk 41. Protruding teeth 45, 46a, and 46b are formed at the lower end of the electromagnet 44. A coil 47 is wound around the central tooth 45.
A magnetic field is generated by passing a current through this coil 47. The generated magnetic field enters the teeth 46a and 46b on both sides from the tip of the central tooth 45, and the component of this magnetic field perpendicular to the disk 41 becomes an external magnetic field to record or erase the magnetic film length. In this configuration, since the magnetic field is reversed by reversing the direction in which the electric picture flows, there is an advantage that the magnetic field can be reversed quickly. [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, the first and second conventional external magnetic field generating devices described above each have the following problems. In the external magnetic field generating device according to the first configuration example, in order to reverse the polarity of the magnetic field, the permanent magnet 42 must be mechanically rotated by some external force, that is, an actuator, and a large inertia is required. The operation time required to rotate the magnet is about ten to several hundred milliseconds (msec), making it difficult to drive at high speed, and as a result, there are various limitations in use. In addition, in the second configuration, when winding the coil 47 shown in FIG. 5 the necessary number of times in order to provide the required magnetic field strength to the disk 41, since the teeth 45 are long, the height direction (
The only way to do this is to wind the magnetic field in the perpendicular direction of the disk 41, which has the disadvantage that the entire external magnetic field generator becomes large. This drawback poses an obstacle to miniaturization and thinning of magneto-optical disk devices. Further, conventionally, a heat sink for dissipating heat generated by copper loss in the coil is usually provided in the height direction of the external magnetic field generator, and this has also been a factor preventing miniaturization of the device.

is composed of the magnetic field emitting surface 1a and the portion tb around which the coil 3 is wound, and is characterized in that the whole has a T-shape. [Function] The auxiliary magnetic field application device has the following effects. The magnetic field emitted from the magnetic field emitting surface 1a of the magnetic core portion 1 is transmitted to the magnetic flux return portion 4a of the 1if1 flux return plate 4, which functions as a yoke portion and also serves as a support plate of the auxiliary magnetic field application device.
A uniform magnetic field is efficiently applied to the recording medium disposed near the magnetic field emitting surface 1a and the magnetic flux return section 4a. In addition, the heat generated by the coil 3 is transferred to the thin magnetic plate 2.
The heat is radiated easily throughout the magnetic flux return plate 4, which is also made thin. Further, in the auxiliary magnetic field applying device according to the third aspect, the magnetic field generated in the coiled portion 1b when energized is emitted substantially uniformly in the disk radial direction from the magnetic field emitting surface 1a. [Examples] Hereinafter, the auxiliary magnetic field applying device of the present invention will be described in detail based on specific examples. FIG. 1 is an exploded three-dimensional view showing the auxiliary magnetic field applying device of the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 2 denotes a magnetic plate made of ferromagnetic material, which has a convex portion 2a that covers the magnetic core and the coil, and a holding portion 2b that holds the convex portion 2a. The holding part 2b
A hole 2c is provided for attachment to a magnetic flux return plate, which will be described later. Reference numeral 1 denotes a magnetic core portion that functions as a magnetic pole, around which the magnetic core portion 1 and a flattened coil 3 are wound. In this embodiment, the magnetic core portion 1 is T-shaped, and a portion of the T serves as a magnetic field emitting surface 1a for applying a magnetic field. The magnetic field emitting surface 1a is a surface extending in the direction in which the recording area of the recording medium extends, and if the recording medium is disk-shaped, it is arranged like a bar in the radial direction. The magnetic core part l also has a part 1b corresponding to a part of T perpendicular to the magnetic field emission surface 1a, and the part 1
The coil 3 is wound in a flat shape around b. A magnetic flux return plate 4 is also made of ferromagnetic material, is made in the shape of a thin plate parallel to the recording area surface of the recording medium, and has a large area. The magnetic flux return plate 4 has two magnetic flux return portions 4 bent in an L shape in the direction in which the recording medium 6 is arranged.
a, an opening is formed between the magnetic flux return portions 4a, and the magnetic field emitting surface 1a is arranged facing the center. Further, the magnetic flux return plate 4 is provided with a mounting hole 4b corresponding to the mounting hole 2c. Further, at the end opposite to the opening, a support hole 4c is provided through which a shaft (not shown) that rotatably supports the magnetic flux return plate 4 at a predetermined portion of the optical disk device main body is passed. The magnetic field emitted by the magnetic field emitting surface 1a of the magnetic core portion 1 when energized is directed toward the recording medium more efficiently due to the presence of the magnetic flux return portion 4a. This situation is shown in Figure 3 fa) and (b).

These are diagrams each showing how the lines of magnetic force change depending on the size of the L-shaped bend of the magnetic flux return section 4a. FIG. 3(c) is a diagram when the magnetic flux return portion 4a is not formed. The third with the largest bending length β
It can be seen that the most stable magnetic field is formed in the direction of the recording medium in Figure (a). Furthermore, when trying to make the height of the electromagnet extremely low as shown in Figure 1, by using the magnetic flux return plate 4 itself as a support, new installation in the height direction of the device can be done without adding any additional members. support is possible. In addition, normally, a heat sink must be attached to dissipate heat generated by copper loss due to flat winding of the coil, but in this configuration, the magnetic flux return plate 4 itself is wide, so the heat dissipation effect is reduced. copper loss due to temperature rise can be suppressed. Further, since the magnetic flux return plate 4 and the magnetic plate 2 are configured to be separated, attachment and assembly of the magnetic core portion l and the coil 3 to the magnetic plate 2 is facilitated. Furthermore, since attachment to the magnetic flux return section 4a can be performed by moving the device in the width direction, there is an advantage that a thin magneto-optical recording device can be realized. In FIGS. 1 and 2, 6 is a magneto-optical disk as a recording medium, 5 is a cartridge, and 5a is a cartridge window. [Other Embodiments J The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications and applications are possible. - In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the magnetic plate 2 is attached to the magnetic flux return plate 4 using screws, but it may also be done by spot welding between the flat plates. This is because the configuration in which the magnetic plate 2 and the magnetic flux return plate 4 can be separated allows replacement mainly in the event of a winding failure or wire breakage, and the core installation also allows for position adjustment. Because it does. In addition, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the magnetic flux return plate 4 is configured to be rotatable on a support shaft (not shown) that is orthogonal to the disk insertion direction in order to attach and detach the disk. It is possible to take various configurations such as a configuration in which the Further, the number of magnetic field emitting surfaces 1a of the magnetic core portion l is not limited to one, but may be plural, and the shape, number, and configuration of the magnetic flux return portions 4a of the magnetic flux return plate 4 are also limited to the 111th embodiment. It's not a thing. Further, in the above description, an auxiliary magnetic field applying device applied to a magneto-optical recording device has been described, but since the feature of the present invention is that it efficiently applies a magnetic field with a compact and thin structure, the present invention It is obvious that the present invention can also be applied as a magnetic field application device other than the above-mentioned magneto-optical recording device. [Effects of the Invention] As described above in detail, the auxiliary magnetic field applying device of the present invention has the following effects. According to the auxiliary magnetic field application device according to claim 1, the magnetic flux return plate 4 is used as the support plate of the auxiliary magnetic field application device, and the magnetic flux return portion 4a is provided close to the magnetic field emission surface, so that the magnetic field can be efficiently applied. It has the effect of being applied to the recording medium. In addition, the magnetic flux return plate 4 itself functions as a heat sink for the heat generated by the holding member and coil of the auxiliary magnetic field applying device, thereby creating a new holding member and heat sink (generally, these are This eliminates the need to provide a magneto-optical recording device (which is often provided in the horizontal direction), making it possible to provide a thin magneto-optical recording device. Further, according to the auxiliary magnetic field applying device according to the second aspect, there is an effect that the attachment and assembly of the magnetic core portion l and the coil 3 can be easily performed. Further, according to the auxiliary magnetic field applying device according to claim 3, the magnetic core portion 1 is composed of a magnetic field emitting surface and a portion around which the coil is wound, and the coil is wound around the rectangular magnetic core portion having a T-shape as a whole. This contributes to making the device thinner and reduces copper loss, which helps the magnetic flux return plate 4 itself function as a heat sink.
