Abstract
A hydrodynamic bearing assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a shaft, a sleeve rotatably supporting the shaft, a thrust member having a conical shape installed at a lower end of the shaft, and a lubricating fluid installed at a lower end of the sleeve. It includes a cover member for preventing the leakage of the upper surface of the cover member and the bottom surface of the thrust member may be formed to be flat to suppress the dynamic pressure generated by the dynamic pressure groove during the rotation of the shaft.
Description
The present invention relates to a fluid dynamic bearing assembly, and more particularly, to a fluid dynamic bearing assembly in which a lubricating fluid is filled in a bearing gap.
Small spindle motors, typically used in hard disk drives (HDDs), include a hydrodynamic bearing assembly, and a lubricant such as oil in the bearing clearance formed between the shaft and the sleeve of the hydrodynamic bearing assembly. Sieve is filled. As oil filled in the bearing gap is pumped, fluid dynamic pressure is formed to rotatably support the shaft.
That is, in general, the fluid dynamic bearing assembly generates dynamic pressure through a dynamic groove to achieve stability of motor rotational drive.
On the other hand, with the recent reduction in the recording disk drive apparatus, the spindle motor is also required to be thinner and smaller. However, there is a problem in that sufficient rotational rigidity is not obtained when the spacing between dynamic pressure grooves, that is, the span length, is shortened according to the demand for thinning and miniaturizing the spindle motor.
In order to prevent this, the thickness of each component is generally made thinner to increase the span length.
However, by making the thickness of each component thinner in this way, there is a problem in terms of fastening strength and fastening precision. That is, when an impact is applied from the outside, there is a problem in that the broken or combined components of the respective components are separated.
An object of the present invention is to provide a fluid dynamic bearing assembly capable of improving rotational characteristics.
It is also an object of the present invention to provide a fluid dynamic bearing assembly capable of reducing breakage of a thrust member.
A hydrodynamic bearing assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a shaft, a sleeve rotatably supporting the shaft, a thrust member having a conical shape installed at a lower end of the shaft, and a lubricating fluid installed at a lower end of the sleeve. It includes a cover member for preventing the leakage of the upper surface of the cover member and the bottom surface of the thrust member may be formed to be flat to suppress the dynamic pressure generated by the dynamic pressure groove during the rotation of the shaft.
The sleeve may include an installation part having a shape corresponding to the shape of the thrust member, and a dynamic pressure groove may be formed on at least one of an inclined surface of the installation part and an outer surface of the thrust member disposed opposite to the inclined surface of the installation part.
At least one of an inner surface of the sleeve and an outer circumferential surface of the shaft may have upper and lower radial dynamic grooves for generating fluid dynamic pressure when the shanghai shaft rotates.
The upper radial dynamic pressure groove may have a herringbone shape, and the lower radial dynamic pressure groove may have a spiral shape to more effectively raise the pressure on the lower side of the lower radial dynamic pressure groove.
The sleeve may be provided with a oil storage portion formed to be disposed between the upper and lower radial dynamic pressure grooves.
The dynamic pressure groove may have a herringbone or spiral shape to perform in pumping to prevent excessive pressure increase between the thrust member and the cover member.
According to the present invention, it is possible to prevent the over-injury of the shaft through the thrust member having a conical shape, it is possible to increase the span length has the effect of improving the rotational characteristics.
In addition, by coupling the thrust member having a conical shape to the shaft, the coupling force between the shaft and the thrust member can be increased, and the damage of the thrust member can be reduced even when an impact is applied from the outside.
