DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a head device for a magnetic recording/reproducing device. [Technical background of the invention] Helical scan type magnetic recording and reproducing device (hereinafter referred to as
In a VTR (VTR), recording tracks are formed at a predetermined angle with respect to the longitudinal direction of the tape. Therefore, when performing special reproduction such as still reproduction, slow motion reproduction, and double speed reproduction, the rotating magnetic head scans the magnetic tape at an inclination angle different from that of the recording track. Therefore, noise occurs on the playback screen in this case. Furthermore, when the recording track width is narrowed in order to increase the recording density, errors in the scanning locus of the rotating magnetic head with respect to the recording track greatly affect the deterioration of the output signal. Therefore, VTRs have been devised in which a rotating magnetic head can accurately scan a recording track even in various modes such as still playback, special playback such as slow motion playback, and normal playback. This utilizes a bimorph plate, which is an electromechanical transducer. A magnetic head is placed at one end of the bimorph plate, and a voltage is applied to the bimorph plate to displace the magnetic head in a direction perpendicular to the direction of rotation. , allowing the magnetic head to accurately scan the recording track. FIG. 1 is a side view showing an example of a conventional head device using the above-mentioned bimorph plate, and FIG. 2 is a plan view thereof. Bimorph 1 has electrode layers 2, 3,
4, 5, a piezoelectric element 6 sandwiched between the electrode layers 2, 3, a piezoelectric element 7 sandwiched between the electrode layers 4, 5, and a reinforcing shim sandwiched between the electrode layers 3, 4. It is composed of material 8. Reference numeral 9 denotes a magnetic head disposed at one end of the bimorph 1 . The other end of the bimorph 1 is supported by a support base 10, electrode layers 2 and 5 are connected to one end of a controlled voltage source 11, and electrode layers 3 and 4 are connected to the other end of the controlled voltage source 11. . However, if the reinforcing shim material 8 is a conductor,
A reinforcing shim material 8 may be connected to the control voltage source 11 instead of the electrode layers 3 and 4. With such a configuration, the bimorph 1 is bent vertically by a predetermined amount in accordance with the applied voltage value from the voltage source 11, and the magnetic head 9 at the tip is vertically displaced. In this way, the magnetic head 9 can accurately scan the recording track. Note that the output voltage from the voltage source 11 is configured to vary depending on the deviation between the scanning locus of the magnetic head 9 and the recording track. [Problems with the Background Art] Figure 1 shows a state in which the magnetic head 9 provided on the bimorph 1 has changed by h from the reference position (horizontal position).
The determining factor is the length of the part of the bimorph 1 that is not supported by the support base 10 (effective length)
l, the material properties of the piezoelectric element, the magnitude of the applied voltage, etc. By the way, when trying to reduce the diameter of the rotating head drum in order to make the VTR smaller and lighter,
The overall length L of the bimorph is limited by the diameter of this drum. Incidentally, in FIG. 1, the bimorph 1 has a structure in which it is adhered to a support base 10 with an adhesive 12. In this case, the adhesive width (L-l=
If W) is not sufficiently secured, the fixing accuracy in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 1 cannot be obtained during adhesive fixing due to uneven thickness of the adhesive, and the effective length l cannot be as long as expected.
There is also a structure in which the bimorph 13 is sandwiched between a support base 14 and a presser plate 15 and screwed together, as shown in FIG. 3, without the need for adhesion. In this case, since there is no adhesive layer, the reference position of the magnetic head 9 becomes clear, and by holding down the upper and lower surfaces of the bimorph fixed part, the boundary between the variable part and the fixed part becomes clear, and the effective length does not vary. There is. However, as with the case of FIG. 1, the effective length cannot be very long. Therefore, a problem arises in that the required amount of displacement of the magnetic head cannot be obtained. In order to solve this problem, it is possible to change the material of the piezoelectric element or increase the applied voltage, but there are limits to this, and it has been required to make the effective length l of the bimorph as long as possible. [Object of the Invention] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a head device for a magnetic recording/reproducing device that can obtain a sufficient amount of magnetic head displacement even in a small-diameter rotating head drum. . [Summary of the Invention] In the head device of the magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus according to the present invention, a "U"-shaped slit is provided in the middle of an electromechanical transducer element in which a rotating magnetic head is disposed on one end side. The electromechanical transducer is supported on the rotating body by the inner side of the shaped slit and the other end continuous with the inner side. [Embodiments of the Invention] Hereinafter, a head device of a magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus according to the present invention will be explained based on the drawings. FIG. 4 is a front view of essential parts showing one embodiment of the present invention. Bimorph 1 shown in Figure 1 as a conventional example
A bimorph 17 having a laminated structure similar to the above has a U-shaped slit 18 formed in the middle. And, the inner part 19 of this slit 18,
The bimorph 17 is adhesively fixed to a rotary disk (not shown) at one end 20 which is continuous thereto. That is, the bimorph 17 is supported by the rotating disk by the hatched portion in the figure. Note that 9 is a rotating magnetic head disposed at the other end of the bimorph 17. In this example, the adhesive parts (19 and 20)
The width W 1 of the bimorph 17 can be set independently of the value obtained by subtracting its effective length l 1 from the total length L 1 of the bimorph 17 (L 1 −l 1 ).
Therefore, it is expected that the adhesion accuracy will be improved, and for example, even if the bimorph has the same overall length as the conventional one, its effective length can be made longer than that of the conventional one. In addition,
The control voltage source 11 shown in FIG. 1 is not shown. FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing another embodiment of the invention. In this case, the bimorph 21 is not directly adhesively fixed to a rotating disk or rotating drum (not shown), but is fixed via a support base 22. In this respect, it differs from the one in Figure 4. In this case, the bimorph 21 can be fixed to the support base 22 after it has been adhered to the support base 22, or after the bimorph 21 has been attached to the support base 22 without adhesive.
2 and screwed to a rotating drum or rotating disk. In addition, 9 is a rotating magnetic head,
23 is a U-shaped slit, 24 is a through hole, and 25 is a fixing screw. FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing still another embodiment of the present invention. In this case, the bimorph 26 is
It is held between the holding plates 28 and fixed with screws 29. Both of the apparatuses shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 have the same effects as those shown in FIG. 4. [Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the effective length of the electromechanical transducer can be increased, and the mounting accuracy of this element can be improved. In the description of the embodiments, a bimorph was used as the electromechanical transducer, but it goes without saying that any device other than the bimorph may be used as long as it can convert electrical displacement into mechanical displacement.
