2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, in a device for recording / reproducing information by causing a magnetic head such as a VTR and a magnetic tape to travel in contact with each other, high image quality, long-time recording, and downsizing have been attempted. For example, in order to realize high image quality and miniaturization, in the magnetic head, the magnetic material of the magnetic head is made by evaporating the magnetic material metal from the material of the conventional head which is single crystal ferrite in the magnetic gap of the magnetic head. Methods have been implemented to improve the magnetic characteristics of magnetic heads by improving the characteristics or by laminating thin film head materials. On the other hand, in a magnetic tape, by improving the surface condition of the magnetic tape, the contact state with the magnetic head is improved, and the magnetic characteristics of the magnetic material applied to the magnetic tape are improved. The magnetic properties are improved by changing from iron oxide to non-iron oxide. In order to realize recording for a long time and miniaturization, methods such as thinning the magnetic tape have been implemented.

However, each of these approaches changes the form of friction and wear between the magnetic head and the magnetic tape from the conventional one. As a result, in order to develop such a magnetic head or magnetic tape, it is essential to develop a method capable of evaluating the wear characteristics of the magnetic head and the magnetic tape in a short time. Conventionally, the wear characteristics of magnetic heads and magnetic tapes are evaluated by actually running the magnetic heads and magnetic tapes in contact for a certain period of time, and then measuring the shape of the magnetic heads, or measuring the mass of the magnetic heads. I've been told.

In such a conventional method for evaluating wear characteristics, in order to maintain sufficient measurement accuracy,
It was necessary to carry out a long-term wear test, and it was necessary to evaluate a large number because the individual differences in wear forms were large.
Therefore, there is a problem in that a large amount of magnetic tape is required and the evaluation is very costly. Further, in the conventional method of calibrating the output signal of the piezoelectric element, if a new device is required for calibration, and if the signal input portion is very small like a magnetic head and the mechanical strength is also small, There was a problem that it was very difficult.

(Embodiment 1) Hereinafter, a wear coefficient estimating apparatus for a magnetic head according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a principle diagram of a wear coefficient estimating apparatus for a magnetic head according to a first embodiment of the present invention. A head base 4 on which the magnetic head 2 is mounted is attached to a rotary cylinder 5. FIG. 2 is a detailed view of the vicinity of the mounting portion of the piezoelectric element 1, and here, as shown in FIG. 2, the case where the piezoelectric element 1 is mounted on the head base 4 will be described. The piezoelectric element is an element that converts the applied pressure into an electric signal, and is, for example, an AE sensor (Acoustic emission sensor). The magnetic head 2 mounted on the head base 4 is a rotating cylinder 5.
The tape 3 projects several microns to several tens of microns from the outer peripheral surface 5a, and the tape 3 is spirally wound around the rotary cylinder 5 and the fixed cylinder 6 at a constant angle, for example, 180 degrees. A slip ring support 7 is attached to the upper surface of the rotary cylinder 5. Further, a slip ring 8 having two or more channels is attached to the slip ring support base 7 so that the output from at least one piezoelectric element 1 can be taken out. A brush 9 having two or more channels is pressed against the slip ring 8 in the same manner as the slip ring 8, and an electric signal can be stably transmitted to the outside of the rotary cylinder 5 even when the rotary cylinder 5 rotates. It is like this. If necessary, an effective value meter 13 as an effective value measuring means is connected via a high band amplifier 11 as a signal amplifying means and a filter 12 as a frequency limiting means. Then, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, a correlation diagram between the effective value of the output voltage of the piezoelectric element 1 and the wear coefficient of the magnetic head 2 is prepared in advance. With the above configuration, the tape 3 runs by the cooperation of a capstan shaft (not shown) and a pinch roller (not shown). Therefore, the rotary cylinder 5 carrying the magnetic head 2 rotates as the rotary shaft 10 rotates, so that the magnetic head 2 and the tape 3 slide. At this time, since the piezoelectric element 1 is mounted on the head base 4, a voltage according to the magnitude of the elastic wave generated in the magnetic head 2 by the sliding of the magnetic head 2 and the tape 3 is output from the piezoelectric element 1. It occurs between terminals. This elastic wave is generated when wear particles fall off the sliding surface of the magnetic head 2 with the tape 3. The electric signal generated in the piezoelectric element 1 is guided to the slip ring 8. When the electric signals from the plurality of piezoelectric elements 1 are taken out, the number of channels that is obtained by multiplying the number of the piezoelectric elements 1 by 2 is sufficient. However, since it is possible to commonly use the ground wire, the number of channels, which is the number of the piezoelectric elements 1 plus 1, is sufficient. The wear coefficient of the magnetic head 2 can be estimated by reading the effective value of the signal voltage taken out by the slip ring 8 with the effective value meter 13 and comparing the value with the correlation diagram as shown in FIG. 3, for example. However, since this correlation diagram differs depending on the configuration of this device, it is necessary to find a device specific to that device in advance. Although the piezoelectric element 1 is mounted on the head base 4 in this embodiment, the mounting position of the piezoelectric element 1 is set on the rotary cylinder 5 as long as the elastic wave generated in the magnetic head 2 is observable. There is no problem with the top surface. Further, although the method of using the slip ring 8 and the brush 9 as the signal transmitting means has been described, any means may be used as long as the signal can be transmitted from the rotary cylinder 5 to the outside. Regarding the magnetic heads 2 to be mounted, even if a plurality of magnetic heads 2 are mounted, there is no problem in the function of the device. For example, a plurality of magnetic heads 2 are mounted, and it is possible to estimate the wear of each magnetic head 2 by mounting the piezoelectric element 1 only on the magnetic heads 2 for which it is necessary to estimate the wear coefficient. Generally, a plurality of magnetic heads are mounted on a rotary cylinder for actually recording video signals and the like. For it,
In particular, by mounting only one magnetic head 2 on the rotary cylinder 5, the following effects can be obtained. That is, since there is only one magnetic head 2, the piezoelectric element 1 does not detect an elastic wave due to the sliding of the tape 3 with another magnetic head 2. Therefore, the accuracy of estimating the wear coefficient of the magnetic head 2 is improved.

(Second Embodiment) Next, a second embodiment will be described. In this embodiment, the filter 12 shown in FIG. 1 is of a high frequency pass type having a cutoff frequency of 1 kHz or higher. Piezoelectric element 1
In addition to the original signal, many electrical noise signals are included in the electrical signal from the above, and since the noise component is particularly large in the low frequency region of 1 kHz or less, in the present invention, the cutoff frequency of the filter 12 is 1 kHz or more. By adopting the high frequency pass type, it is possible to sufficiently attenuate the noise component and improve the S / N. By such means, the S / N of the apparatus can be improved and the accuracy of wear coefficient estimation of the magnetic head 2 can be improved.

(Embodiment 3) Next, a third embodiment will be described. FIG. 4 is a principle diagram of the wear coefficient estimating apparatus for a magnetic head of this embodiment. The same components as those in the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted. The difference from the first embodiment is that in order to transmit the electric signal generated in the piezoelectric element 1 to the outside of the rotary cylinder 5, it rotates integrally with the rotary cylinder 5 and is coaxial with the rotation center of the rotary cylinder 5. The rotating-side magnetic body 14a made of a soft magnetic material having the first coil wound around it, and the rotating-side magnetic body 14a facing the rotating-side magnetic body 14a with a predetermined gap, and the second coil at a position facing the first coil. Fixed-side magnetic body 14 made of a soft magnetic material and wound around
It has b. The rotating-side magnetic body 14a and the fixed-side magnetic body 14b have two or more channels so that the output from at least one piezoelectric element can be transmitted. To take out signals from a plurality of piezoelectric elements, the number of channels that is obtained by multiplying the number of piezoelectric elements by 2 is sufficient.
However, since it is possible to use the ground in common, it is sufficient to use the number of channels, which is the number of piezoelectric elements plus one.

The use of the rotating side magnetic body 14a and the fixed side magnetic body 14b has the following advantages. That is, since the signal is not transmitted by sliding like the slip ring and the brush used in the description of the first embodiment, sliding noise does not occur and the S / N of the signal is good. Further, depending on the winding turns ratio of the rotating side magnetic body 14a and the fixed side magnetic body 14b, the rotating side magnetic body 14a and the fixed side magnetic body 14b.
Can have a signal voltage amplifying function. For example, if the winding ratio of the coils of the rotating side magnetic body 14a and the fixed side magnetic body 14b is set to 1 to 2, double voltage amplification can be performed by the rotating side magnetic body 14a and the fixed side magnetic body 14b.

First, a method of calibrating the piezoelectric element 1 in the wear coefficient estimating apparatus for a magnetic head according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described. The apparatus used for the calibration is the example 1
It is assumed that the magnetic head wear coefficient estimating device described in any one of 1 to 3 is used. Using the above device, two types of tapes 3 having different abrasivity are brought into contact with the magnetic head 2 to travel.
At this time, the effective value of the signal voltage of each piezoelectric element 1 is read by the effective value meter 13. Further, the actual wear amount of the magnetic head 2 due to the running of each tape 3 is measured, and the wear coefficient of the magnetic head 2 is calculated. At this time, the amount of wear of the magnetic head 2 is measured by a change in shape of the magnetic head before and after wear, a change in mass, and the like. Thus, in (Equation 1), if there are two types of tapes 3, α and β can be obtained by solving the simultaneous equations. The tape 3 may be of three or more types, and α and β that best satisfy the respective data can be obtained by a method such as drawing an approximate straight line on the graph. By using as many tapes 3 having different abrasiveness as possible, the accuracy of the obtained α and β can be improved. Of course, when the calibration is performed in a short time, two types of tapes 3 having different polishing properties may be used. The calibration method of the present invention is applied to the piezoelectric element 1.
Therefore, it is possible to calibrate the piezoelectric element 1 at low cost and in a short time without preparing a special device for calibration.
