Abstract

The invention discloses a disk drive with an air filling port by means of a valve with a cup-shaped far end. The disk drive is provided with the air filling port which comprises a valve receiving channel that penetrates through the housing of the disk drive. Furthermore the valve receiving channel is provided with an inner annular seat surface. An air flowing channel is intersected with the valve receiving channel at a channel intersection point. The channel intersection point is arranged at a position which is farer than the inner annular seat surface to the inner space of the housing. A filling end valve comprises an outer threaded part which engages the inner threaded part of the valve receiving channel. The far end of the filling port valve comprises a central cup-shaped recessed part and an outer surrounding ridge which surrounds the central cup-shaped recessed part. The outer surrounding ridge selectively contacts with the inner annular seat surface of the valve receiving channel, and furthermore selectively forms a continuous annular sealing part for the inner annular seat surface of the valve receiving channel, thereby blocking air flow between the air flowing channel and the inner space.

Description

There is the disc driver inserting port using the gas of the valve with cup-shaped distal
Background technology
The printing electricity that traditional hard disk drive includes cephali disc assembly (hda) and is attached to the disc driver substrate of hda Road version assembly (pcba).Hda generally includes at least one disk of shell and such as disk, magneto-optic disk or CD.Hda is also usual Including for the spindle motor of spinning disk be attached to shell and the head pile component (hsa) in inside the shell.Pcba includes electricity Sub- device and firmware, for controlling the rotation of spindle motor and the position for controlling hsa, and are used for providing disk drive Data transmission channel between device and its main frame.
Hsa generally includes actuator, at least one suspension module (hga) and flexible cable assembly.Drive in operation disk During dynamic device, pcba provides and controls the moment of torsion flowing through the electric current of actuator coil and leading to be applied to actuator.Moment of torsion By actuator rotation with the information needed magnetic track on disk by hga positioning.
Each hga is included for reading data and the magnetic head writing data to disk from disk.In magnetic recording application, magnetic Head generally includes slide block and the magnetic transducer comprising write device and read element.In optical recording application, magnetic head can include instead Penetrate mirror and for the object lens extremely on magnetic disk surface by laser focusing.Slide block passes through gas lubrication film from magnetic disc separation, this gas Body lubricating film is commonly referred to as " air bearing ".Term " air bearing " is common, because generally lubrication gas is only Air.However, because noble gases can be not as oxygen degradation lubricant and protection carbon film so fast, air bearing slider Have been designed to use in the disk drive housing containing helium.
Helium can be used in disk drive housing, for example, because it has the heat conductivity higher than air, And therefore can improve disc driver cooling.Further, since air bearing thickness depends on gas viscosity and density, so Assume that all other condition is identical, with respect in the air, helium can advantageously reduce air bearing thickness.This Outward, if disk drive housing is helium insert rather than air insert (for example due to helium have lower than air close Degree), then induced gas stream is rotated by disk and can not impact the component in disc driver as much as possible.This improvement By reducing track error registration and track following ability can be improved and promote the higher density of data storage.
Open led to the disk drive housing containing gas rather than air (or in addition to air) in the prior art It is often gas-tight seal, to prevent unacceptable released gas rate.Although some negligible quantities of gas leakage are to keep away Exempt from, but be because that it can change the thickness of gas lubrication film between magnetic head and disk and thus affect the property of magnetic head Can, so the amount of can not ignore of gas leakage is undesirable.Because it can change the tribochemistry of head disk interface, can Reliability degradation, head crash and related data loss can be led to, so the amount of can not ignore of gas leakage is also undesirable.
Traditional hard disk drive, especially contains the hard disk drive of gas in addition to air, can have by outer To introduce gas, its middle port is sealed after inserting for the port of shell.If however, disc driver is lost due to leakage Gas, and leak and be repaired, then disc driver can need again to be inserted gas.This can present inserts port and is The no problem that easily or with putting into practice can not be switched on again and/or reseal.
For example, a conventional method inserting port for sealing disc driver is by forcing polishing stainless steel ball In the slightly smaller cylinder bore in disk drive housing.Interference fit between ball and hole can seal disc driver Interior gas.However, if gas leaks out after a while and disc driver needs again to be inserted, ball must be by pressing Ball until disc driver inside (and then ask open disc driver to fetch this ball) or open disc driver with By pressure ball until outside is removed.Select generally undesirably to be asked drive lid to be removed or substitute, Request manufacturer is followed the tracks of release and relatively small ball component.
Previously disclosed some gases were inserted port organization and were depended on screw, and this screw is included by screw itself Passage or hole.However, this design can be undesirably expensive for manufacturing.In other, previously disclosed gas is inserted The hole of disk drive base plate in the design of port, can be intentionally pressed through by the mobile surface of rustless steel sealing screw Internal sharp aluminum edge, the surface of this rustless steel sealing screw is tightened with it and rotates.However, this arrangement can be led Cause undue wear and therefore produce the risk that the debris particle excessive to disc drive applications generates.Disc driver should With generally having to the low-down toleration of pollution.
Therefore, exist in prior art and raising is used for inserting, again inserts, seal or reseal outside disc driver The gas of shell inserts the demand of port organization, the cost of this risk that can reduce fragment generation or manufacture.
