A first head 130 for reading recorded information on a disk is held at a tip end of the head carriage, and a head arm 132 having a second head 131 corresponding to the first head 130 is held at a rear upper end. It is swingably attached via an elastic body. The head arm 132 is urged in a direction in which the second head 131 approaches the first head 130. The disk device of this example is provided with a cartridge holder 136 that holds the disk cartridge 103 so that it can be inserted and removed, and a mechanism that opens and closes a shutter of the disk cartridge 103.

By the way, this type of disk drive employs an inner rotor motor as shown in FIGS. 11 (a) and 11 (b) as a disk rotation motor in order to respond to recent thinning. Have been. This is provided with an annular yoke 161 extending in the circumferential direction and a coil 1
Stator 1 having a large number of cores 163 wound around 62
64 and a rotor 166 having an annular magnet 165 rotatably provided on the inner peripheral portion of the stator 164 and facing the core 163. In the figure, reference numeral 168 denotes a circuit board on which a holding portion 170 having a built-in bearing 169 is mounted, and 171 denotes a rotatable shaft supported by the holding portion 170 on the circuit board 168 via a bearing 169 and extends in the vertical direction. It is a rotating shaft for fixing the rotor having an axis line. The rotor 166 of the inner rotor motor functions as a turntable having a disk chucking magnet (not shown) and a disk chucking rotary lever (not shown).

In this type of stator for an inner rotor motor, the yoke 161 and the core 163
It is provided so as to surround almost the entire circumference of the circular rotor 166 except for the movement position of 0, 131. Due to the requirement of these magnetic properties, the cost is higher than the galvanized steel sheet constituting the chassis 101 and the like. It is formed from silicon steel or the like.

[0006]

However, in this type of disk drive, there is a constant demand to reduce the manufacturing cost, and there is still a strong demand for a smaller and lighter disk drive. For this reason, the present inventor believes that in the stator for the inner rotor motor, there has been a demand to reduce the area of the yoke 161 and the core 163 made of silicon steel, which are expensive.

However, in accordance with the above requirements, the yoke 1

The magnetic interaction with the disk becomes uneven in the circumferential direction, and the operation stability of the disk may not be maintained. Further, the jersey 101
Magnetic flux enters the rotor 166 and the chassis 10
1 acts on the rotor 166, and as a result,
The thrust force may act in the direction of pressing against the chassis 101 to deteriorate the rotation of the rotor 166. At the same time, if the thrust force in the direction of pressing against the chassis 101 is too weak, the rotational stability of the rotor 166 may be reduced. However, there has been a demand to control this to a suitable range in order to make the problem worse.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has an object to achieve the following objects. To reduce manufacturing costs. To reduce the size and weight of the device.

In this state, a notch serving as an interaction setting means is provided below the rotation position of the magnetic poles of the rotor on the chassis made of a magnetic material to which the rotor is rotatably attached, so that the rotor is rotatable. By setting the amount of magnetic flux entering the chassis from the magnetic poles to a predetermined value and setting the force acting between the rotor and the chassis to a suitable state, the thrust force acting on the rotor is set to a desired state, The thrust force toward the chassis excessively acts on the rotor to deteriorate the rotation, and the thrust force toward the chassis on the rotor is too weak to reduce the rotation stability. It is possible to prevent the theft. In addition to the state in which the stator is continuously arranged within 180 ° of the central angle, the sum of the central angles of the portions where a plurality of stators having an interval therebetween is located may be within 180 °.

A phase coil and a W-phase coil to which a third drive current whose phase is advanced by 120 ° with respect to the second drive current are supplied are arranged in the order of U-phase, V-phase, and W-phase. .

On the other hand, in the inner rotor motor of this embodiment, the magnetic pole teeth 133, 134, 1
The U-phase, the V-phase, and the W-phase are set so that the arrangement of the coils 35 has a phase difference of 120 electrical degrees.
a is in the U phase, coil 34a is in the W phase, coil 35a is V
Phase, coil 36a is in U phase, coil 37a is in W phase,
The coil 38a is set to be in the V phase. Thus, the U-phase coil to which the first drive current is supplied,

The W-phase coils are set in the order of the U-phase, W-phase, and V-phase. In the present embodiment, the magnetic pole teeth 33
P of the rotor facing surfaces 33d to 38d at
1 is set to, for example, 15 °. For this reason, in this embodiment, when the magnetic pole teeth are provided on the entire circumference around the rotor 2 at the pitch P1, the stator becomes a 24-pole stator.

For this reason, in the present embodiment, the number of magnetic pole teeth arranged per unit angle at the central angle with respect to the rotation center 21 is set larger than the number of magnetic poles of the rotor 2. That is, in the present embodiment, the angular density of the magnetic pole teeth 33 to 38 with respect to the central angle of the rotation center 21 is set to be larger than the angular density of the magnetic poles 25n and 25s of the rotor 2. Conversely, in the conventional three-phase inner rotor motor shown in FIG. 7, the number of magnetic pole teeth arranged per unit angle at a central angle with respect to the rotation center 21 is set smaller than the number of magnetic poles of the rotor. . That is, in the conventional three-phase inner rotor motor shown in FIG. 7, the angular density of the magnetic pole teeth 133 to 138 with respect to the central angle of the rotation center is equal to the magnetic poles 25n and 25s of the rotor.
Is set to be smaller than the angular density.

Accordingly, in the conventional three-phase inner rotor motor shown in FIG. 7, in order to provide, for example, six magnetic pole teeth, a center angle of the rotation center 21 of the rotor 2 must be in a range of 120 °. The more area is needed. Furthermore, the rotational center 21 and the circumferential center positions 133g, 134g, 1
Each of the magnetic pole teeth 133, 13 on a straight line passing through 35g ...
4, 135 is provided, as in the present embodiment,
The phases are set in the order of W-phase and V-phase, and the length of the yoke portion in the circumferential direction is set to be shorter than when it is provided on a straight line passing through a point 39 set at a position further away from the stator 3 than the rotation center 21. Therefore, the area of the yoke portion does not decrease in plan view, and the area of the stator core 31 cannot be sufficiently reduced.

At a position facing the stator 3 with the rotor 2 interposed therebetween, a magnetic balancer 7 for balancing the rotor 2 with the stator 3 is provided. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the magnetic balancer 7 is in contact with a notch 12 provided at a position below the rotor 2 of the chassis 1.
The magnet unit 25 of the rotor 2 is integrated with the bottom surface of the chassis 1 and stands upright from the bottom surface of the chassis 1.
Are provided around the rotation position of the rotor 2 so as to face the circumferential surface of the rotor 2.

The magnetic balancer 7 is composed of six magnetic balancer portions 71 to 76 corresponding to the rotor facing surfaces 33d to 38d of the stator 3, and each of these portions is
The respective rotor facing surfaces 71a to 76a are arranged so as to be point-symmetric with respect to the rotation center 21 of the rotor with respect to the rotor facing surfaces 33d to 38d of the magnetic pole teeth 33 to 38. That is, in the magnetic balancer section 71, the rotor facing surface 7
1a is provided so as to be symmetrical with respect to the rotation center 21 with respect to the rotor facing surface 33d. In the magnetic balancer section 72, the rotor facing surface 72a is provided so as to be symmetrical with the rotor facing surface 34d with respect to the rotation center 21. Similarly, the rotor facing surface 73a and the rotor facing surface 35d are connected to the rotor facing surface 74a and the rotor facing surface 36d.
And the rotor facing surface 75a and the rotor facing surface 37d
The rotor facing surface 76a and the rotor facing surface 38d are provided so as to be respectively symmetrical with respect to the rotation center 21.

This is because the magnetic effect of the stator 3 on the rotor 2 is balanced by the shape of the magnetic balancer 7, and the magnetic balance on the rotor 2 is
This is for setting to maintain a symmetric state with respect to 1.

More specifically, the rotor facing surfaces 71a to 76a
Are set in an arc shape with a radius R1 ′ so as to be equidistant from a point 21 that coincides with the rotation center of the rotor 2. This radius R1 'is set to be larger than the radius R1 set for the rotor facing surfaces 33d to 38d, but is set in consideration of the height of the magnetic balancer 7 described later. The pitch of the rotor facing surfaces 71a to 76a is
As with the pitches P1 of 3d to 38d, they are set equally, for example, to 15 °.

The circumferential lengths of the rotor facing surfaces 71a to 76a are respectively set to the rotor facing surfaces 33d to 38d of the magnetic pole teeth 33 to 38 with respect to the rotation center 21 of the rotor.
It is set to correspond to the length of d. That is, in the magnetic balancer unit 71, the circumferential length of the rotor facing surface 71a is set to be equal to the circumferential length of the rotor facing surface 33d. The circumferential length of 72 a is the rotor facing surface 34.
It is set equal to the circumferential length of d. Similarly, in the magnetic balancer portion 73, the circumferential length of the rotor facing surface 73a is set to be equal to the circumferential length of the rotor facing surface 35d. The circumferential length of the surface 74a is equal to the rotor facing surface 36d.
Of the magnetic balancer section 7
5, the circumferential length of the rotor facing surface 75a is set equal to the circumferential length of the rotor facing surface 37d. In the magnetic balancer section 76, the circumferential length of the rotor facing surface 76a is It is set equal to the circumferential length of the surface 38d.

The magnetic balancer 7 is provided at a position lower than the rotor 2. In other words, the center position in the height direction of the magnetic balancer 7 is provided at a position lower than the center position in the rotation axis direction of the magnet portion 25 of the rotor 2. The magnetic balancers 71 to 76 are set at a substantially uniform height and lower than the upper surface 26 of the magnet 25 of the rotor 2. Alternatively, the upper end 7 of the magnetic balancer 7
As shown in FIG. 2, 1 b to 76 b are set to be closer to the bottom surface of the chassis 1 than the upper surface 26 of the magnet portion 25 of the rotor 2.

The height of the magnetic balancer 7, that is, the difference between the upper ends 71 b to 76 b of the magnetic balancers 71 to 76 and the upper surface 26 of the magnet 25 is determined by the center of the height between the tips 33 b to 38 b and the magnet 25. Simultaneously with the setting of the positional deviation value, a downward (to the chassis 1) thrust load for maintaining the rotational stability of the rotor 2 is set.

Here, setting of the shape of the magnetic balancer 7 will be described. As shown in FIG. 2B, a force F3 acts between the rotor 2 and the stator 3, and at the same time, a force F7 acts between the rotor 2 and the magnetic balancer 7. This force F3 acts in a state where it is inclined toward the bottom surface of the chassis 1 with respect to the plane of rotation of the rotor 2. This is because the force F3 acts on the rotor 2 in the direction of the tip portions 33b to 38b provided at a position lower than the magnet portion 25 of the rotor 2. Further, the F7 acts in a state where it is inclined toward the bottom surface side of the chassis 1 with respect to the rotation plane of the rotor 2. This is because the force F3 acts on the rotor 2 in the direction of the magnetic balancer 7 provided at a position lower than the magnet portion 25 of the rotor 2.

Here, the forces F3 and F7 generate a rotational moment in the rotor 2 with respect to the bearing 22. To stabilize the rotation without tilting the rata 2, these forces F3 and F7 are used. Needs to satisfy the following expression (1). F7t · (RA−RB) <F3t · (RA + RB) (1) F3t · (RA−RB) <F7t · (RA + RB) Here, as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, F3t = F3 cos θ. ₁ (vertical component of F3) F7t = F7 cos θ ₂ (vertical component of F7) RA: radius of outer peripheral surface of magnet unit 25 with respect to rotation center 21 RB: radius of rotation of bearing 22 with respect to rotation center 21

Thus, the forces F3 and F7 apply a thrust force to the rotor 2 for stabilizing the rotation of the rotor 2 by the sum of the force F3t and the force F7t in the rotation axis direction of the rotor 2. It becomes possible. That is, the rotor 2
Is pressed against the bottom surface of the chassis 1 from the periphery. At this time, the magnetic flux from the magnet unit 25 flows between the notch 11 and the notch 14, between the notch 14 and the notch 12, between the notch 12 and the notch 13, and between the notch 13 and the notch 11, respectively. It enters the bottom surface, so that a downward thrust force acts on the rotor 2. Therefore, the downward force on the rotor 2 is applied to the rotor 2
The force F3 and the force F7 are set so that the rotational stability of the rotor 2 is improved and the driveability is not impaired by the influence of friction or the like due to an increase in the thrust force on the rotating shaft of the rotor 2.

At the same time, the forces F3 and F7 are set to be larger than the force F3p in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the rotor 2, that is, in a direction parallel to the bottom of the chassis 1. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2B, the leftward force F3p is set to be smaller than the rightward force F7p. As a result, the rotating shaft 21 of the rotor 2 is
The rightward force F2 shown in (b), that is, the force from the stator 3 side to the magnetic balancer 7 side is applied to stabilize the rotating shaft of the rotor 2.

The following are considered as parameters for setting the forces F3 and F7 as described above. Area of rotor facing surfaces 33d to 38d Distance between rotor facing surfaces 33d to 38d and outer peripheral surface of magnet portion 25 Height position of rotor facing surfaces 33d to 38d and magnet portion 25 Area of rotor facing surfaces 71a to 76a Rotor facing surface 71a -76a and the outer peripheral surface of the magnet part 25 Height positions of the rotor facing surfaces 71a-76a and the magnet part 25 By setting these in combination, an optimum state is set.

The magnetic head section 4 is composed of a first head 41 and a second head 42 provided to face each other for reading and writing magnetic signals from a disk, and these are mounted on a head carriage 43. The position of the first head 41 and the second head 42 is controlled by the position controller 5.

As shown in FIG. 1, the position control section 5 includes a stepping motor 51 for feeding the head carriage 43, and this stepping motor 51 is held at the rear center of the chassis 1 and the head carriage 43. Is configured as a drive source for driving in the front-rear direction. The output shaft of the stepping motor 51 is formed by a lead screw rod 52 having a helical V-shaped groove and extending in the front-rear direction, and the tip is supported by a bearing. A guide rod 53 is provided in parallel with the lead screw rod 52. The guide rod 53 is held at the rear central portion of the chassis 1, and is configured to guide a head carriage 43 described later in the front-rear direction. .

The head carriage 43 has a needle pin 54 projecting obliquely rearward and a leaf spring for pressing the needle pin 54 into the V-shaped groove of the lead screw rod 52. It is inserted into the guide bar 53 so as to be able to advance and retreat, and is provided above the chassis 1. A magnetic head 41 for reading recorded information on a disk is held at the tip of the head carriage 43, and a head arm 55 having a magnetic head 42 corresponding to the magnetic head 41 is provided at an upper rear end of the head carriage 43. It is mounted so as to be able to swing freely through.
The head arm 55 has a torsion spring 56 in a direction in which the magnetic head 42 approaches the magnetic head 41.
One side edge is integrally provided with a stopper for restricting the rotation of the arm that protrudes laterally.

The substrate 6 is provided with the position control unit 5, chips 61, 61 as a control unit for controlling the drive of the inner rotor motor, a capacitor 62 and the like.

On the magnetic head 4 side of the rotor 2, a magnetic shield 8 for shielding magnetic flux from the magnet 25 to the magnetic heads 41 and 42 is provided. FIG. 6 shows a magnetic shield of the inner rotor motor in FIG.
FIG. 6 is a sectional view taken along a line VI. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 6, the magnetic shield 8 is in contact with a notch 13 provided at a position below the rotor 2 of the chassis 1 and is integrated with the bottom surface of the chassis 1 so that the magnetic shield 8 extends from the bottom surface of the chassis 1. The rotor 2 stands upright and is provided around the rotation position of the rotor 2 so as to face the circumferential surface of the magnet portion 25 of the rotor 2.

The magnetic shield 8 is formed linearly in a plan view, and its length is
Is set so that the magnet portion 25 of the rotor 2 is hidden by looking at. That is, any length may be used as long as the magnetic flux from the magnet unit 25 can be shielded so as not to affect the operation of the magnetic heads 41 and 42. Linear magnetic shield 8
Is positioned so as to be closest to the rotor 2 at the center thereof, and the rotor facing surface 8a and the magnet portion 25
Is large at both ends of the magnetic shield 8 and shortest at the center.

As a result, the length of the magnetic shield 8 is reduced to two adjacent magnetic poles 25 of the magnet portion 25 shown in FIG.
Even when the length is different from the length corresponding to n, 25s, it is possible to prevent the magnetic flux entering the magnetic shield 8 from the magnet portion 25 of the rotating rotor 2 from suddenly increasing and decreasing. For this reason, since this magnetic flux can be gradually changed to the maximum value, occurrence of cogging can be prevented. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the dependent torque of the rotor 2.

Here, the optimal length of the magnetic shield 8 for preventing the occurrence of cogging is substantially equal to two adjacent magnetic poles 25n and 25s of the magnet part 25 shown in FIG. It is conceivable to set it. However, the length of the magnet portion 25 shown in FIG.
If the length is set to be substantially equal to the length of the two adjacent magnetic poles 25n and 25s, the size of the notch 13 is increased in accordance with the length of the magnetic shield 8. For this reason,
The strength of the shield 1 may be reduced. Therefore, if the length of the magnetic shield 8 is made shorter than the two adjacent magnetic poles 25n and 25s of the magnet unit 25 to prevent cogging and maintain the strength of the chassis 1, the magnetic shield 8 is Rotor facing surface 8a and rotor 2
It is necessary to set so that the distance to the rotating surface gradually increases and decreases, thereby preventing cogging without lowering the strength.

As shown in FIG. 6, the upper end 8b of the magnetic shield 8 is set substantially flush with the upper surface 26 of the magnet portion 25 of the rotor 2. Here, the dimension of the rotor facing surface 8a in the height direction is set substantially equal to the dimension of the magnet portion 25 in the height direction. Thereby, the magnetic flux from the magnet unit 25 is shielded, and the magnetic flux from the magnet unit 25 can be prevented from affecting the operation of the magnetic head 42. The shape of the magnetic shield 8 is set so that the magnet portion 25 is pulled only in the horizontal direction, and the vertical load applied to the rotor 2 is reduced. That is, by setting the shape of this portion, the rotor 2
It is also possible to set the vertical load applied to.

At a position facing the magnetic shield 8 with the rotor 2 interposed therebetween, a magnetic balancer 9 is provided to balance the rotor 2 with the magnetic shield 8. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 6, the magnetic balancer 9 is in contact with a notch 14 provided at a position below the rotor 2 of the chassis 1 and is integrated with the bottom surface of the chassis 1 so as to extend from the bottom surface of the chassis 1. The rotor 2 stands upright and is provided around the rotation position of the rotor 2 so as to face the circumferential surface of the magnet portion 25 of the rotor 2.

The magnetic balancer 9 is configured so as to correspond to the magnetic shield 8 and is arranged so as to be point-symmetric with the magnetic shield 8 with respect to the rotation center 21 of the rotor. That is, the length of the linear magnetic balancer 9 is set to be equal to the length of the magnetic shield 8, and the position of the rotor 2 with respect to the magnet portion 25 is the same as the magnetic shield 8, and is closest to the rotor 2 at the center. And the rotor facing surface 9a and the magnet portion 2
The distance to the magnetic balancer 9 is large at both ends of the magnetic balancer 9 and shortest at the center.

As shown in FIG. 6, the upper end 9b of the magnetic balancer 9 is flush with the upper surface 26 of the magnet portion 25 of the rotor 2, and the rotor corresponding surface 9a is in contact with the rotor facing surface 8a of the magnetic shield 8. Similarly, the dimension in the height direction is set to be equal to or larger than the dimension in the height direction of the magnet part 25. Further, the chassis 1 at the base of the magnetic shield 8 and the magnetic balancer 9 is provided with a through hole for reducing stress affecting the bottom surface of the chassis 1 when the magnetic shield 8, the magnetic balancer 9 and the chassis 1 are formed by press bending. Holes 82 and 92 are provided. The through holes 82 and 92 may not be provided.

As described above, by forming the magnetic balancer 9 into a point-symmetrical shape with respect to the rotation center 21 of the rotor 2 with respect to the magnetic shield 8, the magnetic influence from the magnetic shield 8 on the rotor 2 is balanced, and 2 can be set so as to maintain a state in which the magnetic balance with respect to the rotation center 2 is symmetric with respect to the rotation center 21.

The magnetic balancer 7, the magnetic shield 8, and the magnetic balancer 9 have upper ends 73b, 8b, 9b, respectively.
As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 6, convex-shaped cartridge support portions 77, 81, and 91 projecting above the upper surface 26 of the magnet portion 25 of the rotor 2 are provided. These cartridge support portions 77, 81, and 91 support the disk cartridge such as a floppy disk so that the disk cartridge does not come into contact with the rotating portion of the rotor 2 even when the disk cartridge is thermally deformed. Is provided. Therefore, these cartridge support portions 77, 8
The upper ends of the first and the first 91 are set to a height that does not hinder the rotation of the disk of the rotor 2 and that the cartridge does not hinder the rotation of the rotor.

In the inner rotor motor and the disk device according to the present embodiment, the stator 3 is positioned on one side of the rotor 2, that is, on a plane parallel to the rotation plane of the rotor 2, at a point 21 which coincides with the rotation center of the rotor 2. By positioning the center angle Q within the range of 180 °, more preferably within the range of 90 °, compared with a structure in which the stator is provided over the entire circumference of the rotor like a conventional inner rotor motor, Since the area of the stator core can be reduced to approximately half or less, the cost of the stator core made of, for example, a silicon steel sheet, the cost of winding a coil, and the like are reduced, and the manufacturing cost of the inner rotor motor is reduced. Can be. At the same time, compared to the case where the stator is provided on the entire circumference of the rotor, the area required for mounting the motor can be reduced, the size can be reduced, and the number of magnetic pole teeth can be reduced, thus reducing the weight Becomes possible. Further, in the disk device of the present embodiment, the area required for mounting the motor can be reduced, the size can be reduced, and the number of magnetic pole teeth can be reduced, so that the weight can be reduced.

In the inner rotor motor and the disk drive of the present embodiment, a magnetic balancer 7 for magnetically balancing the rotor 2 with the stator 3 is provided outside the circumference of the rotor 2. Accordingly, even when the stator 3 is disposed on only one side of the rotor 2 and the rotor 2 is driven only from one side, the force acting on the rotor 2 can be symmetrically balanced with respect to the rotation axis of the rotor 2. Therefore, it is possible to sufficiently maintain the rotational drive stability of the rotor 2.

The magnetic balancer 7 according to the present embodiment has a notch 12
When the chassis 1 made of, for example, a galvanized steel plate is manufactured by being integrated with the bottom surface of the chassis 1 and standing upright from the bottom surface of the chassis 1,
By bending the notch 12 at the lower position of the rotor 2 toward the rotor 2 mounting side by press punching,
The magnetic balancer 7 and the chassis 1 can be formed simultaneously. Thus, as compared with the case where a separate member is attached as the magnetic balancer 7, the manufacturing process can be simplified, the material cost can be reduced, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

The magnetic balancer 7 according to the present embodiment comprises a plurality of magnetic balancer sections 7 divided in the circumferential direction of the rotor 2.
As described above, when the chassis 1 made of, for example, a galvanized steel plate is bent and set up, as described above, the rotor facing surfaces 71a to 76a that are curved corresponding to the outer peripheral surface of the rotor 2 are formed. When the chassis 1

7d, and the circumferential length of the rotor facing surface 75a is set to be equal to the circumferential length of the rotor facing surface 37d.
In this configuration, the rotor facing surface 76a is provided so as to be symmetric with the rotor facing surface 38d with respect to the rotation center 21.
In addition, since the circumferential length of the rotor facing surface 76a is set to be equal to the circumferential length of the rotor facing surface 38d, the magnetic balancer 7 and the magnetic pole teeth 33 to 38 are connected to each other in terms of magnetic circuit design. 2 can be more easily set symmetrically.

In this embodiment, the magnetic balancer 7, the magnetic shield 8, and the magnetic balancer 9 are

According to the inner rotor motor and the disk drive of the present invention, the stator is arranged within a range of 180 ° with respect to the center angle of the rotor, so that the rotor is different from the conventional inner rotor motor. As compared with the structure in which the stator is provided over the entire circumference of the stator core, the area of the stator core can be reduced to approximately half or less.
