Abstract
Description
Gebiet der ErfindungField of the invention
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Fluidlager, insbesondere zur Drehlagerung eines Spindelmotors, mit einem rotierenden Bauteil sowie einem feststehenden Bauteil, die mittels eines fluiddynamischen Radiallagers und eines Axiallagers relativ zueinander drehbar gelagert sind.The invention relates to a fluid bearing, in particular for the rotary mounting of a spindle motor, with a rotating component and a stationary component, which are rotatably supported relative to each other by means of a fluid dynamic radial bearing and a thrust bearing.
Beschreibung des Standes der TechnikDescription of the Prior Art
Aus dem Stand der Technik, insbesondere auch von der Anmelderin selbst, ist eine Vielzahl von Fluidlagern verschiedener Bauarten bekannt.From the prior art, in particular by the applicant itself, a variety of fluid bearings of various types is known.
Die
Da der Lagerspalt sehr schmal ist, erzeugt das Lagerfluid auf Grund seiner relativ großen Viskosität eine deutliche Lagerreibung, die bei der Drehlagerung eines Spindelmotors für einen Großteil des Energieverbrauchs des Spindelmotors verantwortlich ist. Gerade in mobilen Geräten, aber auch in Servern, in denen Spindelmotoren beispielsweise zum Antrieb von Festplattenlaufwerken eingesetzt werden, ist ein Strom sparender Betrieb von großer Bedeutung.Since the bearing gap is very narrow, the bearing fluid generates a significant bearing friction due to its relatively high viscosity, which is responsible for the majority of the energy consumption of the spindle motor in the rotary bearing of a spindle motor. Especially in mobile devices, but also in servers in which spindle motors are used for example for driving hard disk drives, a power-saving operation is of great importance.
Offenbarung der ErfindungDisclosure of the invention
Es ist die Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Fluidlager anzugeben, das im Vergleich zu einem oben beschriebenen fluiddynamischen Lagersystem eine deutlich geringere Lagerreibung aufweist. Ein Spindelmotor mit einem solchen Fluidlager soll ebenfalls beschrieben werden.It is the object of the invention to provide a fluid bearing, which has a significantly lower bearing friction compared to a fluid dynamic bearing system described above. A spindle motor with such a fluid bearing will also be described.
Das Fluidlager besteht aus einem rotierenden Bauteil umfassend eine Welle und aus einem feststehenden Bauteil umfassend eine Lagerbuchse, wobei die Welle in einer Lagerbohrung der Lagerbuchse aufgenommen und von dieser durch einen mit einem Lagerfluid gefüllten Radiallagerspalt getrennt ist, wobei die Welle relativ zur Lagerbuchse mittels fluiddynamischer Radiallager und eines Axiallagers drehbar gelagert ist.The fluid bearing consists of a rotating component comprising a shaft and a stationary component comprising a bearing bush, wherein the shaft is received in a bearing bore of the bearing bush and separated therefrom by a bearing with a bearing fluid radial bearing gap, wherein the shaft relative to the bearing bush by means of fluid dynamic radial bearings and a thrust bearing is rotatably mounted.
Erfindungsgemäß ist das Axiallager als hydrostatisches Axiallager ausgebildet.According to the invention, the thrust bearing is designed as a hydrostatic thrust bearing.
Entlang des Radiallagerspaltes, der zwischen der Welle und der Lagerbuchse verläuft, sind vorzugsweise zwei Radiallager angeordnet, nämlich ein erstes Radiallager und ein in einem axialen Abstand davon angeordnetes zweites Radiallager. Zwischen den beiden Radiallagern ist ein Separatorspalt mit einer im Vergleich zum Radiallagerspalt deutlich vergrößerten Spaltbreite vorgesehen.Along the radial bearing gap which extends between the shaft and the bearing bush, two radial bearings are preferably arranged, namely a first radial bearing and a second radial bearing arranged at an axial distance therefrom. Between the two radial bearings a Separatorspalt is provided with a significantly larger gap width compared to the radial bearing gap.
Das erste, der Lageröffnung benachbarte Radiallager des Fluidlagers pumpt das im Radiallagerspalt befindliche Lagerfluid in das Lager hinein, d. h. das erste Radiallager umfasst asymmetrische Radiallagerrillen, die eine Pumpwirkung auf das im Radiallagerspalt befindliche Lagerfluid erzeugen, die überwiegend in Richtung des Separatorspalts gerichtet ist. Durch diese Pumpwirkung herrscht im Separatorspalt ein höherer Druck als der Atmosphärendruck. Dieser erhöhte Druck kann ausgenutzt werden, um einen definierten Fluss des Lagerfluids durch den Lagerspalt zu erzeugen. Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Pumpfunktion außerdem genutzt, um den für das Axiallager benötigten hydrostatischen Druck zu erzeugen.The first, the bearing opening adjacent radial bearing of the fluid bearing pumps the bearing fluid located in the radial bearing gap into the camp, d. H. the first radial bearing comprises asymmetric radial bearing grooves which generate a pumping action on the bearing fluid in the radial bearing gap, which is directed predominantly in the direction of the separator gap. Due to this pumping action, a higher pressure prevails in the separator gap than the atmospheric pressure. This increased pressure can be exploited to create a defined flow of bearing fluid through the bearing gap. According to the invention, this pumping function is also used to generate the hydrostatic pressure required for the thrust bearing.
Das zweite Radiallager umfasst ebenfalls Radiallagerrillen, die eine Pumpwirkung auf das im Radiallagerspalt befindliche Lagerfluid erzeugen. Die Radiallagerrillen können symmetrisch ausgebildet sein, d. h. in beide Richtungen des Lagerspalts eine gleich große Pumpwirkung auf das Lagerfluid erzeugen. Um den Druck im Separatorspalt weiter zu erhöhen, kann das zweite Radiallager alternativ auch mit asymmetrischen Radiallagerrillen versehen sein, die eine überwiegende Pumpwirkung in Richtung des Separatorspalts erzeugen.The second radial bearing also includes radial bearing grooves that create a pumping action on the bearing fluid in the radial bearing gap. The radial bearing grooves may be formed symmetrically, d. H. generate an equally large pumping action on the bearing fluid in both directions of the bearing gap. In order to further increase the pressure in the separator gap, the second radial bearing can alternatively also be provided with asymmetrical radial bearing grooves, which generate a predominant pumping action in the direction of the separator gap.
Die Lagerbohrung ist einseitig durch eine Verschlussplatte verschlossen. Das Axiallager, das entlang eines Axiallagerspalts gebildet wird, ist zwischen einer Stirnseite der Welle und der Verschlussplatte vorgesehen. Erfindungsgemäß umfasst das Axiallager keine Lagerrillenstrukturen, da hier ja kein fluiddynamischer Druck erzeugt werden muss, sondern es wird ein hydrostatischer Druck erzeugt, der die axiale Lagerkraft aufbringt.The bearing bore is closed on one side by a closure plate. The thrust bearing formed along a thrust bearing gap is provided between an end face of the shaft and the shutter plate. According to the invention, the thrust bearing does not comprise bearing groove structures, since here no fluid-dynamic pressure has to be generated, but rather a hydrostatic pressure is generated which applies the axial bearing force.
Zur Erzeugung dieses hydrostatischen Druckes im Axiallagerspalt ist in der Welle eine Bohrung vorgesehen, die den Separatorspalt mit dem Axiallagerspalt verbindet. Durch die gezielte Pumpwirkung der Radiallagerrillen in Richtung des Separatorspalts wird im Separatorspalt ein Überdruck erzeugt, der durch die Bohrung der Welle in den Axiallagerspalt übertragen wird und das Axiallager tragfähig macht.To generate this hydrostatic pressure in the axial bearing gap, a bore is provided in the shaft, which connects the separator gap with the axial bearing gap. Due to the targeted pumping action of the radial bearing grooves in the direction of the separator gap, an overpressure is generated in the separator gap, the is transmitted through the bore of the shaft in the axial bearing gap and makes the thrust bearing load-bearing.
Zur besseren Ausnutzung dieses hydrostatischen Druckes kann im Bereich des Axiallagerspaltes entweder in der Verschlussplatte oder der Stirnseite der Welle eine hydrostatische Lagertasche eingebracht sein, wobei die Bohrung der Welle in diese Lagertasche mündet und dort ein tragender Fluiddruck aufgebaut wird.For better utilization of this hydrostatic pressure, a hydrostatic bearing pocket can be introduced in the region of the axial bearing gap either in the closure plate or the end face of the shaft, wherein the bore of the shaft opens into this bearing pocket and a bearing fluid pressure is established there.
Das Lagerfluid kann auf verschiedenen Wegen durch das Lager zirkulieren. Wie bei einem aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten fluiddynamischen Lager kann das vom ersten Radiallager in Richtung des Separatorspalts gepumpte Lagerfluid das zweite Radiallager passieren und über eine Rezirkulationsbohrung innerhalb der Lagerbuchse wieder zurück zum ersten Lager fließen. Durch die erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagene neue Bohrung in der Welle, welche den Separatorspalt mit dem Axiallagerspalt bzw. eine Lagertasche verbindet, kann das Lagerfluid nun direkt vom ersten Radiallager in die Lagertasche gelangen. Der Druck in dieser Lagertasche entspricht dann etwa dem Druck innerhalb des Separatorspalts zwischen den beiden Radiallagern. Dieser Druck wiederum hebt die Welle an, wobei dann das Lagerfluid durch einen am Rand der Lagertasche entstehenden Spalt vorzugsweise über eine zusätzlich in der Lagerbuchse vorgesehene Rezirkulationsbohrung abfließen kann.The bearing fluid can circulate through the bearing in various ways. As in a fluid dynamic bearing known from the prior art, the bearing fluid pumped from the first radial bearing in the direction of the separator gap can pass through the second radial bearing and flow back to the first bearing via a recirculation bore within the bearing bush. By inventively proposed new bore in the shaft, which connects the Separatorspalt with the Axiallagerspalt or a storage bag, the bearing fluid can now pass directly from the first radial bearing in the bearing pocket. The pressure in this storage bag then corresponds approximately to the pressure within the Separatorspalts between the two radial bearings. This pressure in turn raises the shaft, in which case the bearing fluid can then flow off through a gap formed at the edge of the bearing pocket, preferably via a recirculation bore additionally provided in the bearing bush.
Eine axiale Vorspannung für das hydrostatische Axiallager kann beispielsweise durch das elektro-magnetische Antriebssystem des Spindelmotors erzeugt werden, welches dieses Fluidlager aufweist. Es stellt sich dann ein Gleichgewicht zwischen dem hydrostatischen Axiallager und dem magnetischen Axiallager zur Erzeugung einer axialen Vorspannkraft ein. Dieses magnetische Axiallager kann beispielsweise dadurch gebildet werden, dass der Rotormagnet gegenüber der Statoranordnung in die axiale Richtung nach oben versetzt angeordnet ist, wodurch auf die Nabe eine axial nach unten in Richtung zur Basisplatte gerichtete Kraft erzeugt wird. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann ein an der Basisplatte axial unterhalb des Rotormagneten angeordneter ferromagnetischer Zugring vorgesehen werden, welcher ebenfalls eine axial nach unten gerichtete Kraft auf die Nabe ausübt.An axial preload for the hydrostatic thrust bearing can be generated for example by the electro-magnetic drive system of the spindle motor having this fluid bearing. It then sets a balance between the hydrostatic thrust bearing and the magnetic thrust bearing for generating an axial biasing force. This magnetic thrust bearing can be formed, for example, in that the rotor magnet is arranged offset in the axial direction relative to the stator arrangement in the axial direction, whereby a force directed axially downward in the direction of the base plate is produced on the hub. Alternatively or additionally, an arranged on the base plate axially below the rotor magnet ferromagnetic tension ring can be provided which also exerts an axially downward force on the hub.
Da der Spalt der Lagertasche des hydrostatischen Axiallagers sehr viel größer ist als der für ein fluiddynamisches Axiallager notwendige Spalt, verringert sich insbesondere die Lagerreibung des Fluidlagers und damit auch der Stromverbrauch des Spindelmotors. Bei Spindelmotoren zum Antrieb von 2,5 Zoll Festplattenlaufwerken wurde eine Verringerung der Lagerreibung um ca. 10% beobachtet.Since the gap of the bearing pocket of the hydrostatic thrust bearing is much larger than the necessary for a fluid dynamic thrust bearing gap, in particular reduces the bearing friction of the fluid bearing and thus the power consumption of the spindle motor. Spindle motors used to drive 2.5-inch hard disk drives saw a 10 percent reduction in bearing friction.
An einer Stirnseite der Lagerbuchse kann eine Abdeckung vorgesehen sein, welche die Lagerbuchse teilweise umschließt und becherförmig ausgebildet ist. Diese Abdeckung bildet zusammen mit einer Außenfläche der Lagerbuchse ein teilweise mit Lagerfluid gefülltes Fluidreservoir, das mit dem Lagerspalt verbunden ist und sich in Richtung des Lagerspaltes verjüngt.On a front side of the bearing bush, a cover may be provided which surrounds the bearing bush partially and is cup-shaped. This cover, together with an outer surface of the bearing bush, partially filled with bearing fluid fluid reservoir which is connected to the bearing gap and tapers in the direction of the bearing gap.
Die Erfindung betrifft auch einen Spindelmotor mit einem oben beschriebenen Fluidlager, insbesondere für den Antrieb von Speicherplatten in Festplattenlaufwerken.The invention also relates to a spindle motor with a fluid bearing described above, in particular for the drive of storage disks in hard disk drives.
Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand von Zeichnungsfiguren näher erläutert, wobei sich aus der Beschreibung der Zeichnungen weitere Merkmale und weitere Vorteile ergeben.The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to drawing figures, resulting in the description of the drawings further features and other advantages.
