Abstract

A fluid dynamic bearing includes a bearing sleeve and a shaft rotatably received in the bearing sleeve with a bearing clearance formed therebetween. Lubricating fluid is received in the bearing clearance. A number of dynamic pressure generating grooves are formed on an inner peripheral surface of the bearing sleeve. The inner peripheral surface of the bearing sleeve and the shaft form therebetween first and second radial distances along a rotating direction of the shaft. The first radial distance is greater than the second radial distance. Upon rotating of the shaft, the lubricating fluid at the first radial distance is driven toward the second radial distance to establish a pressure separating the bearing sleeve and the shaft apart.

Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fluid dynamic pressure bearing, and more particularly to a dynamic pressure generating groove structure of a fluid dynamic pressure bearing. [Prior Art] In recent years, fluid dynamic pressure bearings have been increasingly used in the use of small motors such as fan motors or disk drive motors. The fluid dynamic pressure bearing establishes a pressure between the shaft center and the bearing by the oil film to separate the bearing from the shaft center and prevent wear between the two. Usually, a fishbone-shaped dynamic pressure generating groove is engraved on the inner wall of the bearing or the outer wall of the shaft, and the lubricating oil is concentrated inside the dynamic pressure generating groove, and pressure is established along the dynamic pressure generating groove. The dynamic pressure generating groove for processing fish bone generally needs to insert a cutter into the bearing bore to cut or squeeze to form a groove. When the electronic product is gradually miniaturized and the inner bore of the bearing is getting smaller and smaller, it is very difficult to process the fishbone-shaped dynamic pressure generating groove in the inner bore of the bearing. Moreover, with the development of ceramic technology, ceramic materials have also been widely used in dynamic pressure bearings. However, ceramic materials are relatively hard materials, and it is more difficult to process dynamic pressure generating grooves. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above, it is necessary to provide a fluid dynamic pressure bearing having a dynamic pressure generating groove which is relatively easy to mold. The fluid dynamic pressure bearing comprises a bushing having two ends open, a rotating shaft rotatably received in the 5th bushing sleeve, and a lubricating fluid filled between the bushing and the rotating shaft to generate dynamic pressure when the rotating shaft rotates , a gap-proof 6 1284716 area is arranged between the sleeve and the rotating shaft at the two ends of the sleeve, and a plurality of axially extending dynamic pressure generating grooves are arranged between the sleeve and the rotating shaft to make the dynamic pressure A central region of the sleeve is established between the two leak-proof zones. A fluid dynamic pressure bearing includes a sleeve and a rotating shaft rotatably received in the sleeve, wherein a gap is formed between the sleeve and the rotating shaft, the gap contains a lubricating fluid, and the inner wall of the sleeve is in the circumferential direction a plurality of dynamic pressure generating grooves are distributed, and the gap between the _ and the rotating shaft at the position of each dynamic pressure generating groove has a larger gap along the rotating direction of the rotating surface and a smaller thief The pressure is established by driving the larger duty lubricating fluid into the smaller gap. In the fluid dynamic pressure bearing, the dynamic pressure is formed by the gap change between the sleeve and the rotating shaft in the rotating direction of the rotating shaft, and the dynamic pressure generating groove can be set in the axial direction to facilitate the shape and size of the mold processing. In the well-known fishbone dynamic pressure generating groove, the processing difficulty can be greatly reduced. It is especially suitable for bearings and has high hardness. In addition, a leak-proof area is provided at both ends, which can effectively prevent leakage of lubricating fluid. [Embodiment] Referring to Figures -1 and 2, the hydrodynamic bearing includes a sleeve (7) and a sleeve 2 〇. In this embodiment, the sleeve 10 and the shaft 2 are made of a ceramic material. The bushing is provided with a through-hole 12' to form an open end turn at both ends of the bushing 1G_. The shaft 2 is rotatably received in the shaft hole 12 of the sleeve 1〇. The inner sleeve of the sleeve ι〇 is shaped by the gap between the shaft 2_the wall 21, and the gap contains a lubricating flow (four) (fifth figure), and the sleeve 1 () and the _ when the pawn 20 rotates Establish a movement between 2Q to prevent direct contact between the two. 7 1284716 The inner wall 11 of the sleeve 10 is formed with a plurality of dynamic pressure generating grooves 16 to press the soil n to the mosquitoes. The inner wall 11 of the sleeve 10 near the two open ends 14 is slightly offset from the sleeve 10 axially ^ The emblem is not tied &> such that the opening of the two open ends 14 is tapered. -------------- \ 广. :;.. The outer wall of the sleeve 10 is also formed with a connecting passage 19, which is connected to the space at both ends of the sleeve 10, and can be When the bearing module is assembled, it functions as an exhaust gas, and can also serve as a circulation passage of the lubricating fluid 30. Referring to the third figure, a cross-sectional view of the sleeve 10 and the shaft 20 is combined. In order to clearly show the dynamic pressure generating groove 16 on the inner wall 11 of the sleeve 10, the shaft 20 is filled between the shaft 20 and the sleeve 10. The full slip fluid 30 is not shown. It can be seen that the inner wall 11 of the sleeve 1 at the position of each dynamic pressure generating groove 16 is a curved surface. The rotation direction of the rotary shaft 20 is gradually reduced by the gap between the curved surface and the outer wall 21 of the rotary shaft 20. At a location that is located at a relatively large gap, it contains a relatively large amount of lubricating fluid 30. Driven by the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the rotating shaft 20, the lubricating fluid 30 located at the position of the larger gap mountain will be driven to the position of the smaller gap d2, generating dynamic pressure to support the rotating shaft 20 in the radial direction. Since the plurality of dynamic pressure generating grooves 16 extend in the axial direction, the dynamic pressure they establish is also distributed in the axial direction. It can be seen that the dynamic pressure is established by the change of the gap d between the sleeve 10 and the rotating shaft 20 in the direction of rotation of the rotating shaft 20, causing the pressing of the lubricating fluid 30 to establish the pressure. Therefore, the design of the shape and size of the dynamic pressure generating groove 16 in the radial direction of the sleeve 1 can fully consider the ease of processing of the mold. In the present embodiment, the dynamic pressure generating groove 16 is penetrated through the sleeve 10, so that the mold processing can be easily performed, and the groove is formed in comparison with the conventional fishbone movement 8 1284716, and the dynamic pressure generating groove 16 is processed. The difficulty is significantly reduced. Further, the dynamic pressure generating groove 16 can be well fitted to the ceramic bearing, and the dynamic pressure generating groove 16 is formed in the inner wall 11 of the ceramic bushing 1 by a sintering technique. Please refer to the fourth and fifth figures for a longitudinal section of the sleeve 10 and the shaft 2〇. The micro-bevel 18 of the sleeve 10 near the open end 14 and the outer wall 21 of the rotating shaft 2 form a tapered gap which gradually expands toward the open end of the sleeve 10, and the gap size is between 20 micrometers and 300 micrometers. Since the clever gap is small and is gradually enlarged toward the open end, the capillary action of the lubricating fluid 30 can be utilized to prevent the lubricating fluid 30 from leaking at the open end 14. The area of the micro-bevel 18 near the open end 14 is mainly a leak-proof area, so that no dynamic pressure is established at the position where the micro-bevel 18 is located, and the dynamic pressure is mainly established between the leak-proof areas at both ends. 1〇 Central area. In the above-mentioned known embodiment, the sleeve 10 is open at both ends, and a single-end opening structure can be formed as needed, and a micro-bevel is provided on the inner wall of the single-end opening to achieve a leak-proof function by capillary action.
