Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、磁気テープ装置の4ヘッドHi−Fiタイプ及び4ヘッドタイプのシリンダヘッドに設けられる記録再生用磁気ヘッドとその製造方法に関し、特に、安価で疑似の磁気ギャップの発生を無くしトラック幅を精緻に設定することができるようにしたものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
【0003】
従来、磁気テープ装置の4ヘッドHi−Fiタイプ及び4タイプのシリンダヘッドに設けられる記録再生用磁気ヘッド1の一例として図5(a)及び(b)に示すものがある。これは、隙間αを挟んで左右対称形に隣接させた一対の磁気ヘッドコア5を有し、該各磁気ヘッドコア5は、磁性体からなる大形コア半体5Aと小形コア半体5Bとを磁気ギャップgを挟んで接合させたものであって、大形コア半体5Aに巻線窓6が形成されると共に、該両コア半体5A,5Bにかけて接合窓7が形成され、両コア半体5A,5Bにわたって曲面加工を施して磁気記録媒体摺動面5aが形成され、該磁気記録媒体摺動面5aの両側縁の磁気ギャップgに対向する箇所に一対のトラック溝8が凹設され、該各トラック溝8及び接合窓7に例えばガラス、セラミック、合成樹脂などからなる非磁性接合材9を充填することにより、コア半体5A,5Bどうしが接合され、前記磁気記録媒体摺動面5aの両トラック溝8間に所定幅のトラックtが形成されている。
【0004】
また、磁気テープ(磁気記録媒体)Tと磁気記録媒体摺動面5aとの摺接面積を小さくして記録再生特性の向上を図るため、各磁気ヘッドコア5の小形コア半体5B側の側面5bと磁気記録媒体摺動面5aとの間のコーナ部10を斜めにカットして肩落とし面10aを形成している。なお、11はコイルである。
【0005】
上記構成において、磁気テープTを磁気記録媒体摺動面5aに摺接させることにより、該磁気テープTに記録されている情報の再生や記録を行うが、その際に、磁気記録媒体摺動面5aと肩落とし面10aとの間の境界に生じたエッジ部12が疑似の磁気ギャップとなって、磁気テープTから信号を拾うことにより再生画面上に縦縞のノイズが現れることがある。
【0006】
上記問題を解消する技術として特許文献1に記載したものがある。これは、図6(a)〜(c)に示すように、磁気ヘッドコア5をヘッドベース13に接着固定した後、該磁気ヘッドコア5のコーナ部10を曲面状に加工することにより、磁気記録媒体摺動面5aと肩落とし面10aとの境界線14の形状が磁気ギャップgと平行な部分を持たないように形成している。
【0007】
【特許文献1】
特開昭60−185217号公報
【0008】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記構成では、ヘッドベース13に固着した磁気ヘッドコア5を一つずつ曲面加工するようになっており、これでは、曲面加工に時間と手間とがかかって加工コストが高くつく。
【0009】
また、図6(a)に示すように、現状では、コア厚さdが133μ程度、曲面加工の半径r1がコア厚さdの約22倍程度であって、その半径r1がコア厚さdに比べて極めて大きいため、境界線14のトラックtに対向する部分がほぼ直線状となり、図5(a)及び(b)に示す従来例と同様に、境界線14が疑似の磁気ギャップとなって、磁気テープTから信号を拾うことにより再生画面上に縦縞のノイズが現れるおそれがある。
【0010】
更に、磁気ヘッドコア5の磁気記録媒体摺動面5aにトラックtを形成するにあたって、該磁気記録媒体摺動面5aの両側縁に一対のトラック溝8を部分的に凹設しただけであるから、そのトラックt幅を高記録密度化の要請に応じて精緻に設定することに不向きである。
【0011】
本発明は、上記従来の欠点に鑑み、安価で疑似の磁気ギャップの発生を無くしトラック幅を精緻に設定することができるようにした磁気ヘッド及びその製造方法を提供することを目的としている。
【0012】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するため、請求項1に記載の発明は、4ヘッドHi−Fiタイプ及び4ヘッドタイプのシリンダヘッドに設けられる記録再生用磁気ヘッドであって、隙間を挟んで左右対称形に隣接させた一対の磁気ヘッドコアを有し、該各磁気ヘッドコアが磁気ギャップを挟んで接合した磁性体からなる大形コア半体と小形コア半体とにより形成され、該両コア半体にわたって曲面加工することにより磁気記録媒体摺動面が形成され、前記各磁気ヘッドコアの小形コア半体側の側面と磁気記録媒体摺動面との間のコーナ部を曲面加工することにより、そのコーナ部に前記磁気記録媒体摺動面と面一状につながる円弧面が形成され、前記磁気記録媒体摺動面の両側縁に、該両側縁の全長にわたって所定のトラック幅を挟んで互いに平行する一対のトラック溝が凹設され、該各トラック溝に非磁性接合材が充填されていることを特徴としている。
【0013】
上記構成は実施の一形態(図1参照)に対応するものであって、これによれば、各磁気ヘッドコアの小形コア半体側の側面と磁気記録媒体摺動面との間のコーナ部に前記磁気記録媒体摺動面と面一状につながる円弧面が形成されているので、従来のように疑似の磁気ギャップが発生することが無くなり、再生画面に疑似の磁気ギャップによる縦縞のノイズが現れることがなくなって鮮明な映像を再生することができる。
【0014】
また、両トラック溝が磁気記録媒体摺動面の両側縁にその全長にわたって互いに平行して凹設されているから、その両トラック溝間のトラック幅を高記録密度化の要請に応じて精緻に設定することができる。
【0015】
請求項2に記載の発明は、4ヘッドHi−Fiタイプ及び4ヘッドタイプのシリンダヘッドに設けられる記録再生用磁気ヘッドであって、隙間を挟んで左右対称形に隣接させた一対の磁気ヘッドコアを有し、該各磁気ヘッドコアが磁気ギャップを挟んで接合した磁性体からなる大形コア半体と小形コア半体とにより形成され、該両コア半体にわたって曲面加工することにより磁気記録媒体摺動面が形成され、前記各磁気ヘッドコアの小形コア半体側の側面と磁気記録媒体摺動面との間のコーナ部を曲面加工することにより、そのコーナ部に前記磁気記録媒体摺動面と面一状につながる円弧面が形成されていることを特徴としている。
【0016】
上記構成によれば、各磁気ヘッドコアの小形コア半体側の側面と磁気記録媒体摺動面との間のコーナ部に前記磁気記録媒体摺動面と面一状につながる円弧面が形成されているので、従来のように疑似の磁気ギャップが発生することが無くなり、再生画面に疑似の磁気ギャップによる縦縞のノイズが現れることがなくなって鮮明な映像を再生することができる。
【0017】
請求項3に記載の発明は、請求項2に記載の発明において、前記磁気記録媒体摺動面の両側縁に、該両側縁の全長にわたって所定のトラック幅を挟んで互いに平行する一対のトラック溝が凹設され、該各トラック溝に非磁性接合材が充填されていることを特徴としている。
【0018】
上記構成によれば、両トラック溝が磁気記録媒体摺動面の両側縁にその全長にわたって互いに平行して凹設されているから、その両トラック溝間のトラック幅を高記録密度化の要請に応じて精緻に設定することができる。
【0019】
請求項4に記載の発明は、4ヘッドHi−Fiタイプ及び4ヘッドタイプのシリンダヘッドに設けられる記録再生用磁気ヘッドの製造方法であって、第1工程で、複数の磁性プレートに巻線窓用凹溝と接合窓用凹溝とを所定間隔をおいて複数平行に凹設し、第2工程で、前記各磁性プレートの互いに対向する対向面に鏡面加工を施した後、該各磁性プレートの対向面を磁気ギャップを間に挟んで互いに当接させ、前記各凹溝に非磁性接合材によるボンディング加工を施すことにより磁性プレートどうしを接合して磁性積層体を形成し、第3工程で、前記磁性積層体の各接合窓用凹溝の底面に対向する箇所を磁気ギャップの形成方向とは直交する方向に沿ってスライスして複数のコアプレートを形成し、第4工程で、前記各コアプレートの巻線窓用凹溝側の側面に、磁気ギャップに対して所定のアジマス角度で複数のトラック溝を平行して凹設した後、該各トラック溝内に非磁性接合材を充填し、第5工程で、各コアプレートを巻線窓用凹溝及び接合窓用凹溝を間に挟んで所定間隔ごとに磁気ギャップとほぼ平行してスライスすることにより、磁気ギャップを挟んで接合した大形コア半体と小形コア半体とからなるコアバーを形成すると共に、そのスライスを行う砥石によりスライスと同時にコアバーのトラック溝側のコーナ部を曲面加工して、そのコーナ部に所定半径の円弧面を形成し、その後、コアバーのトラック溝側の側面に曲面加工を施して前記円弧面と面一状につながる磁気記録媒体摺動面を形成し、第6工程で、前記各トラック溝の中央を縦断するように前記コアバーをスライスすることにより磁気ヘッドコアを形成することを特徴としている。
【0020】
上記構成によれば、第6工程で形成される磁気ヘッドコアの小形コア半体側の側面と磁気記録媒体摺動面との間のコーナ部に、前の工程(第5工程)で磁気記録媒体摺動面と面一状につながるの円弧面が形成されており、従来のように疑似の磁気ギャップが発生することが無いので、再生画面に疑似の磁気ギャップによる縦縞のノイズが現れることがなくなって鮮明な映像を再生することができる。
【0021】
また、第5工程でコアバーのコーナ部を曲面加工するだけで、多数の磁気ヘッドコアのコーナ部に前記円弧面を同時に形成することができ、加工コストを従来に比べて大幅に下げることができる。
【0022】
更に、磁気ヘッドコアに比べて格段に大型のコアバーの段階でそのコーナ部を曲面加工するから、その加工を精密且つ容易に行うことができる。
【0023】
しかも、磁性積層体から多数のコアバーを経て磁気ヘッドコアを形成するようになっており、その磁気ヘッドコアを安価に量産することができる。
【0024】
請求項5に記載の発明は、4ヘッドHi−Fiタイプ及び4ヘッドタイプのシリンダヘッドに設けられる記録再生用磁気ヘッドの製造方法であって、第1工程で、複数の磁性プレートに巻線窓用凹溝と接合窓用凹溝とを所定間隔をおいて複数平行に凹設し、第2工程で、前記各磁性プレートの互いに対向する対向面に鏡面加工を施した後、該各磁性プレートの対向面を磁気ギャップを間に挟んで互いに当接させ、前記各凹溝に非磁性接合材によるボンディング加工を施すことにより磁性プレートどうしを接合して磁性積層体を形成し、第3工程で、前記磁性積層体の各接合窓用凹溝の底面に対向する箇所を磁気ギャップの形成方向とは直交する方向に沿ってスライスして複数のコアプレートを形成し、第4工程で、前記各コアプレートの巻線窓用凹溝側の側面に、磁気ギャップに対して所定のアジマス角度で複数のトラック溝を平行して凹設した後、該各トラック溝内に非磁性接合材を充填し、第5工程で、各コアプレートを巻線窓用凹溝及び接合窓用凹溝を間に挟んで所定間隔ごとに磁気ギャップとほぼ平行してスライスすることにより、磁気ギャップを挟んで接合した大形コア半体と小形コア半体とからなるコアバーを形成した後、該コアバーのトラック溝側の側面に曲面加工を施して磁気記録媒体摺動面を形成し、前記コアバーの小形コア半体側の側面と磁気記録媒体摺動面との間のコーナ部を曲面加工することにより、そのコーナ部に前記磁気記録媒体摺動面と面一状につながる所定半径の円弧面を形成し、第6工程で、前記各トラック溝の中央を縦断するように前記コアバーをスライスすることにより磁気ヘッドコアを形成することを特徴としている。
【0025】
上記構成によれば、請求項4に記載の発明とほぼ同じ効果を得ることができ、特に、磁気記録媒体摺動面を形成した後、該磁気記録媒体摺動面と面一状につながる円弧面を形成するので、その両者の面一状のつながりを一層精密に行うことができる。
【0026】
【発明の実施の形態】
図1(a)及び(b)は本発明の実施の一形態である4ヘッドHi−Fiタイプ及び4ヘッドタイプ(4HD)の記録再生用磁気ヘッド1を示すものであって、各磁気ヘッドコア5の小形コア半体5Bの側面5bと磁気記録媒体摺動面5aとの間のコーナ部10を曲面加工することにより、そのコーナ部10に前記磁気記録媒体摺動面5aと面一状につながる円弧面10bが形成され、前記磁気記録媒体摺動面5aの両側縁に、該両側縁の全長にわたって所定のトラックt幅を挟んで互いに平行する一対のトラック溝8が凹設され、該各トラック溝8に非磁性接合材9が充填されている。上記以外の構成は図5に示す従来例とほぼ同じであるから、同一部分に同一符号を付してその説明を省略する。
【0027】
上記構成によれば、各磁気ヘッドコア5の小形コア半体5Bの側面5bと磁気記録媒体摺動面5aとの間のコーナ部10に、前記磁気記録媒体摺動面5aと面一状につながる円弧面10bが形成されているので、従来のように疑似の磁気ギャップが発生することが無くなり、再生画面に疑似の磁気ギャップによる縦縞のノイズが現れることがなくなって鮮明な映像を再生することができる。
【0028】
また、両トラック溝8が磁気記録媒体摺動面5aの両側縁にその全長にわたって互いに平行して凹設されているから、その両トラック溝8間のトラックt幅を高記録密度化の要請に応じて精緻に設定することができる。
【0029】
前記磁気ヘッドコア5の製造方法の一例を説明すると、第1工程で、図2(a)に示すように、例えば高透磁率フェライト、センダスト合金または非晶質磁性合金帯の積層体などの磁性体からなる複数の磁性プレート5Dに巻線窓6用凹溝6aと接合窓7用凹溝7aとを凹設する。
【0030】
、第2工程で、図2(b)に示すように、複数の凹溝6a,7a付き磁性プレート5D及び図中右端に示す薄板状磁性プレート5Dの互いに対向する対向面5cに鏡面加工を施した後、該各磁性プレート5Dの対向面5cを例えば二酸化ケイ素、ガラス、セラミックなどの非磁性体からなる磁気ギャップgを間に挟んで互いに当接させ、前記各凹溝6a,7aに例えばガラス、セラミック、合成樹脂などの非磁性接合材9によるボンディング加工を施すことにより各磁性プレート5Dどうしを接合して磁性積層体5Eを形成する。
【0031】
第3工程で、図2(c)に示すように、前記磁性積層体5Eの各接合窓7用凹溝7aの底面に対向する箇所を磁気ギャップgの形成方向とは直交する方向の仮想線S1に沿ってスライスして複数のコアプレート5Fを形成する。
【0032】
第4工程で、図3(a)に示すように、前記各コアプレート5Fの巻線窓6用凹溝6a側の側面に、磁気ギャップgに対して所定のアジマス角度で複数のトラック溝8を平行して凹設した後、該各トラック溝8内に例えばガラス、セラミック、合成樹脂などの非磁性接合材9を充填し、トラック溝8付きコアプレート5Fを形成する。
【0033】
第5工程で、図3(b)に示すように、各コアプレート5Fを巻線窓6用凹溝6a及び接合窓7用凹溝7aを間に挟んで所定間隔ごとに磁気ギャップgとほぼ平行する仮想線S2に沿ってスライスすることにより、磁気ギャップgを挟んで接合した大形コア半体5Aと小形コア半体5Bとからなるコアバー5Cを形成すると共に、そのスライスを行う砥石(図示ぜず)によりスライスと同時にコアバー5Cのトラック溝8側のコーナ部10を曲面加工して、そのコーナ部10に所定半径r2の円弧面10bを形成し、その後、コアバー5Cのトラック溝8側の側面側面に所定半径r3で曲面加工を施して前記円弧面10bと面一状につながる磁気記録媒体摺動面5aを形成する。
【0034】
第6工程で、図3(c)に示すように、前記各トラック溝8の中央を縦断する仮想線S3に沿って前記コアバー5Cをスライスすることにより、図3(d)に示すように、磁気ヘッドコア5を形成する〔図1(a)及び(b)参照〕。
【0035】
上記構成によれば、第6工程で形成される磁気ヘッドコア5の小形コア半体5Bの側面5bと磁気記録媒体摺動面5aとの間のコーナ部10に、前の工程(第5工程)で磁気記録媒体摺動面5aと面一状につながるの円弧面10bが形成されているので、従来のように疑似の磁気ギャップが発生することが無くなり、再生画面に疑似の磁気ギャップによる縦縞のノイズが現れることがなくなって鮮明な映像を再生することができる。
【0036】
また、第5工程でコアバー5Cのコーナ部10を曲面加工するだけで、多数の磁気ヘッドコア5のコーナ部10に前記円弧面10bを同時に形成することができ、加工コストを従来に比べて大幅に下げることができる。
【0037】
更に、磁気ヘッドコア5に比べて格段に大型のコアバー5Cの段階でそのコーナ部10を曲面加工するから、その加工を精密且つ容易に行うことができる。
【0038】
しかも、前記磁性積層体5Eから多数のコアバー5Cを経て磁気ヘッドコア5を形成するようになっており、その磁気ヘッドコア5を安価に量産することができる。
【0039】
前記磁気ヘッドコア5の製造方法の他の例を説明すると、第1から第3工程は前記製造方法と同じであるから、その説明を省略する。第4工程で、図4(a)に示すように、前記各コアプレート5Fの巻線窓6用凹溝6a側の側面に、磁気ギャップgに対して所定のアジマス角度で複数のトラック溝8を平行して凹設した後、該各トラック溝8内に非磁性接合材9を充填し、トラック溝8付きコアプレート5Fを形成する。
【0040】
第5工程で、図4(b)に示すように、各コアプレート5Fを巻線窓6用凹溝6a及び接合窓7用凹溝7aを間に挟んで所定間隔ごとに磁気ギャップgとほぼ平行する仮想線S2に沿ってスライスすることにより、磁気ギャップgを挟んで接合した大形コア半体5Aとコア半体5A,5Bとからなるコアバー5Cを形成した後、該コアバー5Cのトラック溝8側の側面に所定半径r3で曲面加工を施して磁気記録媒体摺動面5aを形成し、図4(c)に示すように、前記コアバー5Cの小形コア半体5B側の側面5bと磁気記録媒体摺動面5aとの間のコーナ部10を曲面加工することにより、そのコーナ部10に前記磁気記録媒体摺動面5aと面一状につながる所定半径r2の円弧面10bを形成する。
【0041】
第6工程で、図4(d)に示すように、前記各トラック溝8の中央を縦断する仮想線S3に沿って前記コアバー5Cをスライスすることにより磁気ヘッドコア5を形成する〔図1(a)及び(b)参照〕。
【0042】
上記構成によれば、前述した製造方法の一例とほぼ同じ効果を得ることができ、特に、磁気記録媒体摺動面5aを形成した後、該磁気記録媒体摺動面5aと面一状につながる円弧面10bを形成するので、その両者5a,10bの面一状のつながりを一層精密に行うことができる。
【0043】

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a recording / reproducing magnetic head provided in a four-head Hi-Fi type and a four-head type cylinder head of a magnetic tape device and a method of manufacturing the same, and in particular, to reduce the occurrence of pseudo magnetic gaps at low cost and reduce the track width. It is one that can be set precisely.
[0002]
[Prior art]
[0003]
FIGS. 5A and 5B show an example of a recording / reproducing magnetic head 1 provided in a four-head Hi-Fi type and a four-type cylinder head of a magnetic tape device. This has a pair of magnetic head cores 5 adjacent to each other symmetrically with a gap α interposed therebetween. Each of the magnetic head cores 5 has a large core half 5A and a small core half 5B made of a magnetic material. A winding window 6 is formed in the large core half 5A, and a joining window 7 is formed across the two core halves 5A and 5B. A magnetic recording medium sliding surface 5a is formed by performing a curved surface processing over 5A and 5B, and a pair of track grooves 8 are recessed at locations opposing the magnetic gap g on both side edges of the magnetic recording medium sliding surface 5a. By filling the track grooves 8 and the joining windows 7 with a non-magnetic joining material 9 made of, for example, glass, ceramic, synthetic resin, etc., the core halves 5A and 5B are joined to each other, and the magnetic recording medium sliding surface 5a A predetermined width between both track grooves 8 Track t is formed.
[0004]
Further, in order to reduce the sliding contact area between the magnetic tape (magnetic recording medium) T and the sliding surface 5a of the magnetic recording medium to improve the recording / reproducing characteristics, the side surface 5b of each magnetic head core 5 on the side of the small core half 5B is improved. The corner 10 between the magnetic recording medium sliding surface 5a and the magnetic recording medium sliding surface 5a is cut obliquely to form a shoulder dropping surface 10a. In addition, 11 is a coil.
[0005]
In the above configuration, the information recorded on the magnetic tape T is reproduced or recorded by sliding the magnetic tape T on the magnetic recording medium sliding surface 5a. The edge portion 12 generated at the boundary between 5a and the shoulder drop surface 10a becomes a pseudo magnetic gap, and picking up a signal from the magnetic tape T may cause vertical stripe noise to appear on the reproduction screen.
[0006]
