Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a magnetic disk pack cleaner for cleaning the disk surface of a magnetic disk pack consisting of a plurality of magnetic disks.

Conventionally, when cleaning the disk surface of a punctured magnetic disk, a worker manually attaches dry cleaning paper or cloth to the tip of a stick one by one, and then carries this disk pack with the disk surface observation device 1. The cleaning condition of the disk surface was being inspected.

However, such manual cleaning methods are cumbersome and time consuming, do not clean reliably, and also cause dust in the surrounding air to reach the disk surface while transporting the disk pack to the disk surface observation device after cleaning. It has problems such as the risk of adhesion.

The present invention has been developed in view of the above points, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a magnetic disk pack cleaner that automatically cleans magnetic disk packs within a sealed housing and is also integrally equipped with a disk surface observation device. purpose.

Therefore, the magnetic disk pack cleaner according to the present invention has a spindle for mounting a magnetic disk pack to be cleaned in a sealable casing, and adjacent thereto, a plurality of brush buttons that can enter between the respective disks of the magnetic disk pack. A cleaning device consisting of a cleaning liquid spray nozzle is provided, and a clean air circulation device for supplying clean air into the housing, and a disk surface observation device consisting of a mirror that can enter between each disk are provided.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

1 and 2 show a top view and a side view, respectively, of a magnetic disk pack cleaner according to the present invention.

There is a door on the top surface for putting in and taking out the magnetic disk pack 2 (
A magnetic disk rotating device 27 (FIG. 2) is provided in a sealable housing 1 having a spindle 2 (not shown).
The magnetic disk pack 2 is mounted on the magnetic disk pack 9.

A cleaning device 4 is provided adjacent to the magnetic disk rotating device 27.

This cleaning device 4 is used for each disk 3 of the magnetic disk pack 2.
It is composed of five brushes 5 that can be inserted between them, a rotating shaft 6 that supports these, and a cleaning liquid spray nozzle 26 provided above the brushes 5.

The rotating shaft 6 is connected to a motor 22 .

The cleaning liquid spray nozzle 26 passes through the vibrator 25 to the pump 24.
It communicates with the cleaning liquid storage tank 23 via.

A clean air circulation device 11 consisting of a filter (not shown) and a blower (not shown) is installed below the partition floor 30 of the housing 1 .

This clean air circulation device 17 supplies clean air into the housing 1 from the outlet 15 through the duct 16.

Further installed inside the housing 1 is a disk surface observation device 7 consisting of five mirrors 8 that can enter between the disks 3 of the magnetic disk pack 2 and a rotating shaft 9 that supports them.

The rotating shaft 9 is connected to a motor 20.

The mirror 8 is connected to a rack and pinion mechanism (not shown) in the rotating shaft 9 via an arm 28 (FIG. 3), and is connected to a rack and pinion mechanism (not shown) in the rotating shaft 9, as shown by the arrow E (
It can be rotated as shown in Fig. 3).

A window 14 (FIG. 1) for observing this mirror 8 is provided on the housing 1.

Furthermore, an illumination device 10 is provided to brighten the disk surface during inspection by the disk surface observation device 7.

This lighting device 10 has an arm 1 supported on a rotating shaft 11.
3 with a lamp 12 attached to the tip.

The rotating shaft 11 is connected to a motor 21 . The arm 13 can be moved up and down by suitable means, and the lamp 12 can illuminate the desired disk 3.

In the magnetic disk pack cleaner configured as described above, first, the magnetic disk pack 2 is mounted on the spindle 29, and the door (not shown) is closed to seal the inside of the casing 1.

Next, the magnetic disk rotation device 27 is activated to rotate each disk 3 in the direction of arrow A (FIG. 1), and at the same time, the clean air circulation device 17 is activated to supply clean air from the air outlet 15 to the inside of the housing 1. Blow air.

This clean air passes through gaps (not shown) in the partition floor 30, is sucked into the clean air circulation device 17 again, passes through a filter (not shown), and is circulated within the housing 1 by a blower (not shown).

Further, the motor 22 is operated to rotate the brush 5 in the direction of arrow B to clean the surface of each magnetic disk 3.

The number of rotations of the brush 5 at this time is about 1.5/100 of the number of rotations of the magnetic disk 3.

At this time, the pump 24 is simultaneously operated to inject the cleaning liquid onto the brush 5.

After the cleaning action for a certain period of time, the motor 22 is stopped by a timer or manually to stop the rotation of the brush 5, and at the same time, the pump 24 is stopped to stop the supply of the cleaning liquid.

After this, the magnetic disk is allowed to continue rotating for a certain period of time, about 3 minutes, to dry the surface, and then stopped.

Next, the motor 20 is operated to move the mirror 8 onto the magnetic disk 3.
Infiltrate between 0 and 0.

At the same time, the arm 13 of the illumination device 10 is set at the height of the magnetic disk surface at the desired position to be inspected.

The operator rotates and adjusts the mirror 8 in the direction of arrow E (FIG. 3) through the window 14, and observes and inspects the cleaning state of the magnetic disk surface irradiated by the lamp 12 using the □ see 8.

The cleaning work is completed by changing the height of the arm 13 and inspecting all the magnetic disk surfaces.

If you use the above magnetic disk pack cleaner,
Cleaning operations can be carried out while circulating clean air inside the sealed enclosure.
The reading and inspection work can be carried out automatically, and the magnetic disk surface can be completely cleaned and the reliability of the work can be greatly improved since it does not require manual work by the operator and does not come into contact with the outside air.
