Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify the sealing structure of a rotary shaft and to improve the revolving accuracy of a rotary shaft by providing a ring to a part of a hub and holding a magnetic fluid in a gap formed between a ring and two sheets of pole pieces fixed to a bearing supporting housing. CONSTITUTION:A soft magnetic ring 24 is fixed at the outer circumference of a cylindrical part which is fitted to a nonmagnetic rotary shaft 23 of a hub 22. Two sheets of pole pieces 25 are fixed to a nonmagnetic housing 29 which supports a bearing 28 to hold a magnet 26. A magnetic fluid 27 is held in a gap formed between the pieces 25 and the ring 24. The span is increased between bearings since the ring 24 is set at a part of the hub 22. This improves the revolving accuracy and also simplifies the sealing structure of the shaft 23.

In a magnetic disk device generally called a hard disk drive, a floating magnetic head performs recording and reproduction on the magnetic disk recording surface, and since the flying height of the floating magnetic head is approximately 1 micron or less, the floating magnetic head Dust-proofing of the magnetic disk part is very important, and a rotating shaft seal of the disk-fib motor is required to prevent dust from being generated in the disk-fib motor part. Therefore, due to the requirement for dustproof properties, a rotating shaft seal made of magnetic fluid is used, which has a relatively simple structure and relatively low torque loss.

A general rotary shaft seal structure using a magnetic fluid, as shown in Figure 1, consists of a soft magnetic rotary shaft l, a magnet 2. Soft magnetic upper pole piece 3 - (α' e soft m property) lower pole piece 3 - [bl, magnetic fluid 5. The magnetic flux in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 1 holds the magnetic fluid in the gap between the rotating shaft and the pole piece, thereby sealing the rotating shaft. In particular, in the case of a rotary shaft seal structure as shown in Fig. 1, in which the part 4 in which the magnet is held between two upper and lower pole pieces is called a magnetic fluid seal mechanism, the rotary shaft is soft magnetic, so the Electromagnetic noise generated by the disk drive motor may enter the magnetic head and limit normal magnetic recording and playback. Also, if magnetic fluid is inserted into the gap in the magnetic fluid sealing mechanism beforehand when assembling the disk drive motor, the rotating shaft may be damaged. When inserting the rotary shaft, magnetic fluid adheres to the rotating shaft, resulting in loss of magnetic fluid. Therefore, the rotary shaft seal structure of the disk-fib motor has the following structure.

The rotary shaft seal structure of the conventional disc dop model is
As shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of magnetic disks II, a hub for holding the magnetic disks, and a rotating shaft 13 to which the hubs are fitted and fixed. below the fitting part of the rotating shaft (bottom center in Figure 2)
A soft magnetic ring 14 is fitted or adhesively fixed to a portion of the rotating shaft located below the ring, and a retaining ring 18 is fixed or engaged to a portion of the rotating shaft located further below the ring. The housing 20 is equipped with a bearing 19 (in FIG. 2, the axial load is transmitted to the inner ring of the bearing via a retaining ring, and the outer ring of the bearing is fixed to the housing 20), and a magnetic fluid seal machine M (in FIG. 2). 15 and 16) are fitted or fixed with adhesive, and the magnetic fluid sealing mechanism is as described in FIG.
+, It is composed of a magnet 16 held between the upper and lower pole pieces, and the magnetic flux generated in the gap between the upper and lower pole pieces and the ring holds the magnetic fluid 17 and seals the rotating shaft. The conventional rotating shaft seal structure as shown in FIG. 2 has the following drawbacks.

[1] The mating force between the rotating shaft and the non-magnetic hub (mostly made of aluminum) is weak. Increase the mating surface area or cut a gear on the mating surface of the rotating shaft and the hub to increase the mating force. Therefore, post-processing of the hub (run-out processing and balance processing after fixing to the rotating shaft) is difficult.

Therefore, the magnetic force causes negative effects 18 (lifespan, noise) on the bearing.

(4) The height accuracy of the magnetic disk surface is determined by the fitting accuracy of the knob to the rotating shaft and the installation accuracy of the retaining ring, and the accuracy of the attachment of the two parts, the hub and the retaining ring, to the rotating shaft. It is difficult to achieve height accuracy of the magnetic disk surface.

(5) Since a large number of mating surfaces are required between the rotating shaft and the knob, and a retaining ring must be added to the shaft, it is necessary to use a bearing that receives axial loads and other bearings that receive the rotating shaft (even metal bearings). If the span length between the magnetic disk and the rotary shaft is short, the radial and axial vibrations of the rotating shaft and thus the magnetic disk will increase, resulting in poor magnetic recording and reproducing accuracy.

With the rotary shaft seal structure shown in Figure 3, the mating area between the rotary shaft and the hub is approximately doubled, and if the fit is the same, the mating strength is also approximately doubled, allowing for effective use of space. The axial load is transmitted to the bearing on the bottom surface of the cylinder part that fits with the rotating shaft of the hub, which reduces the number of man-hours and parts and improves the accuracy of the hub installation height. ing. Furthermore, the axial length from the hub to the bearing can be reduced compared to the conventional example, and the span length between the bearings is also increased, improving rotation accuracy such as vibration of the rotating shaft. Furthermore, post-processing of the hub based on the rolling axis standard, especially processing to reduce radial and axial runout of the magnetic disk holding surface, and dynamic balance processing, has become easier, improving the accuracy of the hub as a rotating body. There is. The magnetic circuit that holds the magnetic fluid consists of the upper pole piece, ring, lower pole piece, and magnet to form a Q closed magnetic circuit, and the magnetic fluid is held in the gap between the pole piece and the ring. .
