本発明はヘッドに与えられる振動を抑制するための手段
を改良した情報記録再生ディスク装置に関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (11) Technical Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an information recording/reproducing disk device with improved means for suppressing vibrations applied to a head.
(2シ 技術の背景
従来の磁気ディスク装置におけるヘッドはディスク面か
ら微小なすきまで浮上しているスライダ上に取付けられ
、そのスライダは曲げ方向にやわらかいばねをもつジン
バルを介してアクセスアームに取付けられている。(2) Background of the Technology The head in a conventional magnetic disk drive is mounted on a slider that floats up to a minute gap from the disk surface, and the slider is attached to an access arm via a gimbal with a soft spring in the bending direction. ing.

装置では、顕著に現われる傾向を有するので、これを解
決することが焦眉の急となっている。The gimbals in such a support system are
1-, even at a certain distance from the disc.
Since the gimbal will be placed in a high-speed and turbulent airflow of over 0m/(3), the airflow may cause harmful surface vibrations, which may cause errors in the reading and writing of information by the head. There were times when I caused it to occur. Since such problems tend to appear more prominently in recent high-density disk drives, it is urgent to solve them.

従来においても、上述のような振動を抑制する手段はあ

スク、gはベース及びカバーである。(3) Prior Art and Problems Conventionally, there have been means to suppress the vibrations mentioned above, but that means is to provide a spoiler b on the upstream side of arm a, as shown in Figure 1. It is. According to this means, the spoiler b blocks the air flow p, so that the speed of the air flow between the disks is considerably reduced. In FIG. 1, C is a gimbal, d is a slider to which the head is attached, e is a head drive motor, fH disk, and g is a base and cover.
しかしながら、ジンバルCはスポイラbの後流中におか
れるため渦が発生し易く、乱れはむしろ増加する。従っ
て、全体としては成る程度の振動抑制効果はあると云え
るが、その効果は必ずしも十分なものではなかった。However, since the gimbal C is placed in the wake of the spoiler b, vortices are likely to occur, and the turbulence actually increases. Therefore, although it can be said that there is a certain degree of vibration suppression effect as a whole, the effect was not necessarily sufficient.

An object of the present invention is to provide an information recording/reproducing disk device that can read and write information without any trouble.

以下、添付図面を参照しながら、本発明の詳細な説明す

、第3図に示す如き櫛形7II造をなしている。FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the invention. Reference numeral 1 denotes a main body of an information recording/reproducing disk device (hereinafter, the magnetic disk device will be explained), and a magnetic disk (information recording disk) 2 is rotatably attached to the main body 1. An access mechanism 3 for accessing the magnetic disk 2 is also attached to the main body 1. The access mechanism 3 includes a motor 4, an arm 5 attached to the output shaft of the motor 4, a gimbal 6, and a slider 7 to which a head is attached. The arm 5, gimbal 6, and slider 7 constitute a head support system. A current plate 8 is attached to the downstream side of the head support system. The rectifier plates 8 have the same number of magnetic disks as the number of magnetic disks, and have a comb-shaped 7II structure as shown in FIG.
このように、ヘッド支持系の後流側に、整流板8を設け
る構成にすると、ディスク間の流れの可視化の結果を模
式的に描いた第4図から判るように、整流板8の上流側
の領域Aでは、#1yきれいな層流状態で且つ流速も遅
い(第5図も参照。この第5図は整流板付近の周方向平
均流速の測定結果を示す。)のに対し、整流板8の下流
側の領域Bでは、かなり乱れの多い乱流で且つ流速もか
なり大きい(第5図参照)ことが判った。In this way, if the current plate 8 is provided on the downstream side of the head support system, the upstream side of the current plate 8 will be In region A, #1y is in a clean laminar flow state and the flow velocity is slow (see also Figure 5. This figure shows the measurement results of the circumferential average flow velocity near the rectifier plate). It was found that in region B on the downstream side, the flow was quite turbulent and the flow velocity was also quite high (see Fig. 5).
このように、第4図の位置Pにヘッド支持系を配置し、
その下流側に整流板8を設置すれば、 ・、位置Pで

般に、流体力は流速の2乗に比例するから、上述の如く

なる。つまり、振動抑制効果を向上させることが出来、
読取り、書込みエラーも少なくなる。その効果は高記録
、密度の場合に有効に効いて来るので、そのような装置
に有用性を与える。なお、こ\で流速はグイスフ間流速
であり、スライダを浮上させているディスクのごく近傍
の流れには殆んど影響しないためスライダ浮上特性に関
しては通常とまったく異なるところはない。In this way, the head support system is placed at position P in FIG.
If the straightening plate 8 is installed on the downstream side, the average flow velocity at position P will be slowed down, and the disturbance of the laminar flow will be reduced. Generally, fluid force is proportional to the square of the flow velocity, so as the flow velocity becomes slower, the excitation force is significantly reduced, as described above. In other words, the vibration suppression effect can be improved,
Read and write errors are also reduced. The effect becomes more effective at high recording densities, giving such devices utility. Note that the flow velocity here is the Guisphere flow velocity, and it has almost no effect on the flow in the immediate vicinity of the disk on which the slider is floating, so there is no difference at all in the slider floating characteristics from normal.
