Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the input/output characteristic, and also, to reduce the variance of a tertiary distortion without sacrificing the wear resistance by setting the gap depth to <=4mum in a thin type magnetic head in which signals of two frequencies are mixed and recorded. CONSTITUTION:By setting the gap depth to <=4mum, a head by which an input/ output efficiency is improved, and also, the variance of output of tertiary distortion to a recording current is small can be obtained. On the other hand, as the dimension of the gap depth is reduced, it is feared that the durability drops from the viewpoint of wear resistance. In such a state, by executing a test for simulating an actual operating state, the wear quantity goes to <=2mum by 1,000 operation hours. As a result, even if the gap depth is set to <=4mum, a sufficient head is obtained from the viewpoint of the wear resistance.

[Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a thin film magnetic head. More specifically, the present invention relates to a thin film magnetic head used for recording and reproducing video floppy disks on which two-frequency mixed recording of color signals and luminance signals is performed. [Prior Art] In recent years, magnetic heads used for recording and reproducing video floppy disks used in electronic still cameras, etc., have improved in their fine machinability and reproducibility. Thin film magnetic heads have come into widespread use because of their superior mass productivity. One important feature of such a thin film magnetic head is the gap depth. In a video floppy disk, the medium disk and head are in contact with each other as the disk rotates.
Wear occurs on both the head and the disk. For this reason, the required minimum dimension of the gap depth in the head is determined in consideration of wear resistance and operating time. On the other hand, if the gap depth is too large, the input/output efficiency of the head decreases, and furthermore, the third-order distortion generated under two-frequency mixed recording varies, making it difficult to make adjustments to minimize this. Therefore, the maximum dimension of the gap depth must be determined within a range that can maintain the required magnetic performance. Conventionally, in video floppy disks. In consideration of this wear resistance and necessary properties, it was thought that a gap depth of 4 μm or more was necessary. In other words, this dimension was determined as a compromise between the two. (Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Conventionally, video floppy disks for electronic still cameras have chrominance signal frequencies of 1, 2 MHz and 1.3 MIIz.The luminance signal frequency has been set at 7 MHz, but with the advancement of camera performance, It was necessary to make the brightness signal broadband, and therefore the brightness frequency was raised from 7MIIz to 9MHz, creating the need for a so-called high band.As the frequency increases, the effective relative magnetic permeability of the magnetic head decreases, so the head In particular, as the brightness signal frequency increases to 9 MHz, the head output decreases and the relative amount of third-order distortion increases, making third-order distortion more dependent on the recording current than before. The present invention is used in video floppy disks in which two-frequency mixed recording is performed.It improves the characteristics of the conventional thin-film magnetic head and improves the brightness frequency. [Means for solving the problem of evacuation] The object of the present invention is to provide a thin film for recording and reproducing video floppy disks on which two-frequency mixed recording of color signals and luminance signals is performed. In a magnetic head.Achieved by a thin film magnetic head characterized by a gap depth of 4- or less.The gap depth is 4- or less.
By doing the following, it is possible to provide a head that improves the output efficiency for nine people and also reduces the variation in third-order distortion output with respect to the recording current. On the other hand, as described above, as the gap depth decreases, there is a concern that durability will decrease from the viewpoint of wear resistance. In view of the above points, the present applicant confirmed this through a test simulating actual driving conditions. That is, through this test, it was confirmed that the wear amount was 2 or less after 1,000 operating hours. It has been found that even with this configuration, a head with sufficient wear resistance can be provided. [Function] By setting the gap depth to 4 μm or less as described above, the head has an input/output efficiency that can handle high-band luminance signals, and also has stable third-order distortion regardless of the magnitude of the recording current. was completed. On the other hand, tests have confirmed that even if the gap depth is 4 or less, the durability time is not sacrificed. [Example] A wear resistance test was conducted as follows. The media uses standard floppy disks and tracks 1 to 5 are used.
This was repeated by continuously moving to the 0 track. Media was replaced every 24 hours. The results are shown in FIG. Even after continuous operation at normal temperature and normal humidity for t, ooo hours, the head wear amount was less than 2, and it was found that the head wear was sufficiently durable. Regarding the head with a gap depth of 3 μ- according to the present invention,
The output characteristics of the head corresponding to changes in the luminance signal output were measured while comparing with conventional heads (gap depths of 6- and 9p). The magnetic head of the present invention and the conventional magnetic head used used cobalt zirconium-based amorphous as the magnetic material, heat-treated at 350°C, magnetic substrate as the substrate, S H O2 film as the insulating layer, and a protective plate. For these, barium titanate is used. The head shape has a track width of 60-2 and an overall magnetic pole width of 100.
IU, magnetic path length is 130 IU, and the number of coil turns is 7 turns (see Figure 1O). The inner box 3 of the output characteristics is 3
Figure 4 shows the change in the next distortion output, Figure 4 shows the change in the color signal output, and Figure 5 shows the change in the luminance signal output. In each case, the head of the present invention with a gap depth of 3p has extremely excellent characteristics. It shows that there is.

As a so-called high-band video floppy disk head of Hz, the required input/output characteristics can be ensured under the above frequency. Furthermore, this configuration also increases the output of one color signal. Furthermore, the change in the third-order distortion output corresponding to the change in the recording current becomes smaller, making it possible to improve head characteristics such as being able to reduce the third-order distortion output by simple adjustment. On the other hand, even if the head depth is 4 .mu.m or less, it is possible to obtain a thin film magnetic head that does not have a short durability time from the viewpoint of wear resistance.
