Summary of the invention
The present invention, in view of above-mentioned problem in the past, it is a kind of under with the state of thermmohardening bonding agent attached to the slide block side that its purpose is to provide, the slide block stripping means that can easily slide block be peeled off from flexible carrier.
The present invention, be conceived to: be clipped in the thermmohardening bonding agent between slide block and the flexible carrier, if to compare the slide block side bonding more strongly with the flexible carrier side, then when when flexible carrier is peeled off slide block, the thermmohardening bonding agent is attached to the slide block side and the situation of being stripped from this slide block easily.
Just, slide block stripping means of the present invention, be in being provided with the slide block and head stack that one possesses electromagnetic transformation element with the flexible carrier of the flexibility of bonding this slide block of thermmohardening bonding agent, when described slide block bad characteristic, the method that this slide block is peeled off from described flexible carrier, it is characterized in that:, have the operation of cooling off from described slide block side when described thermmohardening bonding agent heated from described flexible carrier side when when described flexible carrier is peeled off described slide block.
Adopt this mode, the thermmohardening bonding agent in the damage that the slide block side can not be heated, has only the damage that the flexible carrier side heated and becomes fragile.That is, the slide block side becomes big than the bonding strength of flexible carrier.So, when when flexible carrier is peeled off slide block, the bonding disengaging between thermmohardening bonding agent and the flexible carrier, the thermmohardening bonding agent is stripped from slide block.Its result does not almost have residual heat sclerosis bonding agent having peeled off on the flexible carrier behind the slide block, therefore the resin that does not need to remove the thermmohardening bonding agent forcibly with solvent is removed operation, perhaps can reduce the process number that resin is removed operation.And, if after the bonding strength reduction with the flexible carrier side of thermmohardening bonding agent in advance, can suppress to be applied to the stress on the flexible carrier, therefore can not make flexible carrier produce distortion.So, in the slide block dynamic perfromance is checked,, peel off slide block in above-mentioned mode even be judged to be badly, can also utilize flexible carrier (comprise flexible printed circuit board and carry a beam) again, thereby improve yield rate.
Described thermmohardening bonding agent uses to be the bonding agent of cancellated resin material as main body by heating.As the resin of this main body, such as being epoxies, phenol, ammonia ester class etc., surpass its hardening temperature, it is well-known that the transition heating can make bonding strength weaken.And, as the thermmohardening bonding agent, also can adopt bonding agent with thermmohardening and two kinds of character of UV (ultraviolet ray) sclerosis.Bonding agent with two kinds of character of thermmohardening and UV sclerosis, be to have optical polymerism, and have present by heating cancellated character based on pre-polymerization zoarium or oligomer, such as using epoxy acrylate, phenol acrylate, unsaturated polyester (UP) etc.
The cooling of slide block side is actually and carries out providing cold wind more than 0 ℃ to described slide block.Here, the temperature limit of cold wind being decided to be more than 0 ℃, is to produce dewfall near not making slide block and slide block.Dewfall can make the electronic unit, the wiring that are provided with near slide block and the slide block produce corrosion and fault.Be limited to 20 ℃ on the cold wind temperature.
Cold wind to described slide block provides preferably takes place with vortex tube.Because the overburden operation of slide block normally carries out by hand, so small-sized, the light-duty cooling device as vortex tube, its operability and convenience are all fine.In addition, if adopt general cooling device,,, also be unpractical because cooling device is too big for slide block as the cooling object.
Preferably: described flexible carrier side is heated with the high temperature higher than the hardening temperature of described thermmohardening bonding agent.
On the surface of described flexible carrier, in fact the flexible printed circuit board that is electrically connected with described electromagnetic transformation element is installed.So, must described flexible carrier side be heated with the temperature that does not make installation portion flexible printed circuit board deterioration.Just, preferred: as, and the flexible carrier side to be heated than the low temperature of temperature that can make flexible printed circuit board generation deterioration with higher than the hardening temperature of this thermmohardening bonding agent.Particularly, heating-up temperature is 150 ℃~180 ℃ Celsius.After surpassing 180 ℃ Celsius, can be damaged owing to heating.To the heating of flexible carrier, such as adopting well heater.
In the described thermmohardening bonding agent, in fact comprise the thermmohardening bonding agent of the electric conductivity that described slide block is electrically connected with described flexible carrier.

As mentioned above, be installed at head stack under the state of testing fixture 100, by this testing fixture 100, with slide block 11 be driven into disk 103 decide magnetic track, by writing/read in portion 131, control 11 pairs of magnetic heads of slide block writing/reading in to disk 103.And then the signal that reads in from the magnetic head by slide block 11 in analysis unit 132 is resolved the characteristic of slide block 1 grade, at least also can with whether satisfy the analysis result of fixed characteristic be shown to as a result on the display part 133 as check result.In addition, display result not only also can record on the recording medium or prints.
The check result of this testing fixture if judge when slide block 11 is bad, is peeled off slide block 11 and discarded from flexible carrier 21, with flexible carrier 21 and carry beam 31 and utilize as utilization product more again.
Below, an embodiment of the stripping means of the slide block 11 of characteristic of the present invention is described.
At first, as shown in Figure 4, in the rear end side of slide block 11, by flexible carrier briquetting 26 fixing flexible framves 21.On flexible carrier briquetting 26, apply the heavy burden of the appropriateness that is used for fixing flexible carrier 21.
Then, in metal ball bonding (GBB) 25,, the metal ball bonding (GBB) and the bonding strength of flexible printed circuit board 22,23 are weakened such as forming otch etc.
When then, heating, from first thermmohardening bonding agent 15 and the second thermmohardening bonding agent 16 of slide block 11 sides cooling between slide block 11 and flexible carrier 21 from flexible carrier 21 sides.More particularly, as shown in Figure 5, from rear side heating flexible carrier 21, provide cold wind to cool off slide block 11 with turbine pipe (ultra-low temperature air generator) 50 with well heater 40.Heating-up temperature is than the high temperature of the hardening temperature of the first thermmohardening bonding agent 15 and the second thermmohardening bonding agent 16 (present embodiment is 120 ℃), it is low to can be compared to most the fail temperature that makes the resin material (such as polyamide) that constitutes flexible printed circuit board 22,23 that deterioration take place, and is about 150 ℃~180 ℃ in the present embodiment.And if surpass 180 ℃, the damage that flexible carrier 21 can be heated, and generation deterioration.Chilling temperature (the cold wind temperature of supplying with from vortex tube 50) is set at 0 ℃~20 ℃ in order not only to prevent on limited slip block 11 or the flexible carrier 21 dewfall but also can to cool off efficiently.In the present embodiment, because the scope of heating and cooling (near the areal extent the slide block 11) is 1mm
2About, very narrow, and slide block 11 be by the y thermal conductance electrically well the compound substance of aluminium oxide-titanium carbide forms, heat and cool time with several seconds for well.In addition, well heater 40 and vortex tube 50 can use general known device, therefore omit its explanation.
The first thermmohardening bonding agent 15 and the second thermmohardening bonding agent 16 be in the damage that slide block 11 sides can not heated owing to this heating and cooling operation, has only flexible carrier 21 sides (flexible printed circuit board 22,23 sides on the flexible carrier 21) because heating is damaged becomes fragile.So the first thermmohardening bonding agent 15 and the second thermmohardening bonding agent 16 are weakened with the bonding of flexible carrier 21, become big compared with the bonding strength of its slide block 11 sides of flexible carrier 21 sides in the good bonding of keeping with slide block 11.
After having carried out described heating and refrigerating work procedure, as shown in Figure 6, the side 11a of clamping slide block 11 also makes it to stand up, and applies impulsive force and draws back slide block 11 to the graphic direction of arrow.So the bonding of the flexible carrier 21 and the first thermmohardening bonding agent 15 and the second thermmohardening bonding agent 16 breaks away from respectively, slide block 11 is peeled off from flexible carrier 21 with the first thermmohardening bonding agent 15 and the second thermmohardening bonding agent 16.Its result hardly can the residual first thermmohardening bonding agent 15 on flexible carrier 21, the second thermmohardening bonding agent 16.And in the present embodiment, the bonding strength of metal ball bonding 25 owing to weakened in advance with flexible carrier 21, therefore also easily metal ball bonding 25 is peeled off from flexible carrier 21 with slide block 11, can the metal ball bonding 25 more than the residual necessary amount on flexible carrier 21 and flexible printed circuit board 22,23.
In above present embodiment, when slide block 11 is peeled off from flexible carrier 21, when heating the first thermmohardening bonding agent 15 and the second thermmohardening bonding agent 16 from flexible carrier 21 sides, cool off from slide block 11 sides, therefore, the bonding strength of the first thermmohardening bonding agent 15 and the second thermmohardening bonding agent 16 becomes big in slide block 11 sides than flexible carrier 21 and flexible printed circuit board 22,23 sides.So the first thermmohardening bonding agent 15 and the second thermmohardening bonding agent 16 become easily and slide block 11 one are peeled off, hardly can the residual first thermmohardening bonding agent 15 and the second thermmohardening bonding agent 16 on the flexible carrier 21 after having peeled off slide block 11.And after the bonding strength of flexible carrier 21 sides of the first thermmohardening bonding agent 15 and the second thermmohardening bonding agent 16 was weakened in advance, owing to the stress that can suppress to apply to flexible carrier 21, so flexible carrier 21 can not be out of shape yet.So, in the dynamic perfromance of slide block 11 is checked,, peel off slide block 11 even be judged as when bad, can also and carry a beam 31 to flexible carrier 21 (comprising flexible printed circuit board 22,23) and utilize again, thereby improve yield rate.
And if do not have the residual first thermmohardening bonding agent 15 and the second thermmohardening bonding agent 16 on flexible carrier 21, also the resin that does not just need to remove the first thermmohardening bonding agent 15 and the second thermmohardening bonding agent 16 forcibly with solvent is removed operation.Perhaps can reduce the process number that resin is removed operation.Thus, damage such as avoiding removing the secondary that operation causes by the resin that described solvent such as is damaged at flexible carrier 21 or flexible printed circuit board 22,23.In addition, Fig. 8 has represented not cool off slide block 201 sides and has only heated flexible carrier 202 sides, comes to peel off flexible carrier surface behind the slide block 201 from flexible carrier 202.At this moment, on flexible carrier 201 residual thermmohardening bonding agent more than the necessary amount (the profile line part of Fig. 8), this flexible printed circuit board 204 and flexible carrier 202 can not utilize again so, perhaps also must carry out above-mentioned resin and remove operation.
In the present embodiment, slide block 11 and flexible printed circuit board 22,23 are joined together, but slide block 11 and flexible printed circuit board 22,23 also can be joined together by the electroconductive resin bonding agent the same with the second thermmohardening bonding agent 16 by metal ball bonding 25.
More than, describe the present invention with reference to the embodiment of accompanying drawing, but can exceeding the restriction of this scope, the present invention changes, be not subjected to the qualification of graphic embodiment.
Adopt slide block stripping means of the present invention, when slide block is peeled off from flexible carrier, when the thermmohardening bonding agent of bonding slide block and flexible carrier being heated from the flexible carrier side, cool off from the slide block side, therefore, the bonding of thermmohardening bonding agent and flexible carrier weakened, and the bonding strength of thermmohardening bonding agent becomes big in the slide block side than flexible carrier side.Its result with the state of thermmohardening bonding agent attached to the slide block side, can easily peel off slide block from flexible carrier, make flexible carrier (comprising flexible printed circuit board) and carry beam to utilize again.
