【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は磁気ディスク駆動用の流体軸受スピンドルモータに関するものであり、特に磁気ヘッドと磁気ディスク間で生じる静電気障害を防止するための電気接地方法に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来のスピンドルモータは軸受をモータベースに固定する際に導電性の接着剤を用いて接着固定している(例えば特許文献1参照)。
【0003】
また、スピンドルモータのモータベースと軸受を接着する接着剤介在部をなす互いに対向する表面部に凹溝を形成し、凹溝内に導電性材料からなる粒子体を収納している(例えば特許文献2参照)。

【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、導電性の接着剤を使用した場合、接着剤の塗布状態及び硬化条件によって接地抵抗がばらつき、磁気ヘッドと磁気ディスク間で生じる静電気障害を十分に防止することができなかった。
【0006】
また、接着剤は高価であるため、コストアップの要因となっていた。
【0007】
また、接着剤介在部をなす互いに対向する表面部に凹溝を形成し、凹溝内に導電性材料からなる粒子体を収納した場合、凹溝を形成するための加工工程と、特別な導電性粒子を用いるため、専用の設備が必要になりコストアップの要因となっていた。
【0008】
本発明は、前記問題点を解決し、安価で確実な電気接地が行える流体軸受スピンドルモータを提供することを目的とする。
【0009】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明の流体軸受スピンドルモータは、モータベースの円筒部内周面で、スリーブの挿入完了状態でスリーブの開口部の近傍位置にスリーブと嵌合する環状の凸部を設け、凸部にて流体軸受を圧入固定したことを特徴とする。
【0010】
上記構成の流体軸受スピンドルモータとすることにより、確実な接地が行えると共に、専用の設備や接着剤が不要であり、圧入固定による軸受性能劣化が少ないので、安価で軸受性能が良好な流体軸受スピンドルモータが得られる。
【0011】
また、本発明の流体軸受スピンドルモータは、凸部はシール板が存在するスリーブの位置にて嵌合するように配置したことを特徴とする。
【0012】
上記構成の流体軸受スピンドルモータとすることにより、圧入部からの応力が、シール板とスリーブの嵌合を強めるため、シール板の取付け強度が増すとともに、圧入固定による軸受性能の劣化がより小さくなり、軸受性能が良好な流体軸受スピンドルモータが得られる。
【0013】
さらに、本発明の流体軸受スピンドルモータは、接着剤が、少なくとも前記凸部と嵌合する部位を除いて前記スリーブに塗布されることを特徴とする。
【0014】
上記構成の流体軸受スピンドルモータとすることにより、スリーブとモータベースの円筒部との嵌合箇所に接着剤が介在しないので、より電気接地が確実となる。
【0015】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の具体的な実施の形態について図面を参照して説明する。
【0016】
図1は、本発明の実施の形態における流体軸受スピンドルモータの断面図であり、図2は、本発明の実施の形態における流体軸受スピンドルモータの組立を説明する分解図である。
【0017】
上記従来例と異なる点は、モータベース2の円筒部内周面で、スリーブ1の挿入完了状態でスリーブ1の開口部の近傍位置にスリーブ1と嵌合する環状の凸部3を設け、凸部3にて流体軸受4を圧入固定した点である。
【0018】
具体的には、図1に示すように、流体軸受4は、シャフト5の一端部にスラスト軸受6が取り付けられており、スリーブ1の開口部から挿入され、シール板7にて流体軸受4内の潤滑油をシールするように構成されている。また、流体軸受4のシャフト5の他端部は回転体側に圧入固定され、外周面に接着剤8が塗布されたスリーブ1を上方からモータベース2の円筒部2aに挿入され接着固定される。更に、図2に示すように、モータベース2の円筒部2aの内周面において、シール板7が存在するスリーブ1の位置にて嵌合されるように、環状の凸部3が形成されており、凸部3にて流体軸受4が部分圧入されている。
【0019】
このように、モータベース2の円筒部2aの内周面に凸部3を形成し、部分圧入することにより、導電性の接着剤や専用の設備が不要となると共に、確実な接地を行うことができる。また、圧入工程が挿入動作完了直前に行われるので、軸受への負荷が小さくなり、圧入固定による軸受性能劣化が軽減される。更には、圧入部3が存在することでシール板7の嵌合補強を行うことができる。
【0020】
更に、図2に示すように、接着剤8を、少なくとも凸部3と嵌合する部位を除いてスリーブ1に塗布し、凸部3には、スリーブ1が挿入される側に、挿入案内用のテーパー部9を設けると、接着剤8が圧入部3に介在しないため、確実な電気接地行え、スリーブ1の圧入動作時に摩擦抵抗及び応力が小さくなるため、軸受への負荷が軽減される。
【0021】
なお、ここではモータベース2の円筒部2a側に凸部3を設けた例を挙げているが、図2に示すように、スリーブ1の外周面に設けても同様な効果が得られる。
【0022】
【発明の効果】
以上のように、本発明の流体軸受スピンドルモータによれば、モータベースの円筒部内周面に、スリーブの挿入完了状態でスリーブの開口部側と嵌合する環状の凸部を設け、凸部にて流体軸受を圧入しスリーブとモータベースを電気接地した流体軸受を固定することで、導電性接着剤を使用しなくても確実な接地が行えると共に、安価なスピンドルモータが得られる。

In addition, when grooves are formed on the opposing surfaces forming the adhesive interposed portion, and when particles made of a conductive material are stored in the grooves, a processing step for forming the grooves and a special conductive process are performed. Because of the use of conductive particles, dedicated equipment is required, which has been a factor of cost increase.
[0008]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problems and to provide a hydrodynamic bearing spindle motor capable of inexpensive and reliable electric grounding.
