A protrusion (32) projects from the side face of the fixing base (31) along the horizontal plane. Inclining faces (35) are defined on the protrusion (32) to approach a recording disc toward the center thereof. On the surface of the protrusion (32), first and second sliding faces (36, 37) extending in the horizontal direction are defined continuously in parallel with the side face of the fixing base (31) from the upper end of the inclining faces (35). These inclining faces (35) and the first and second sliding faces (36, 37) face the opposing face of a regulation member (39). Even if an impact is applied to the recording disc drive, forward end of a head actuator is stopped on the opposing face of the regulation member (39) and bouncing of a head slider can be blocked surely.

本発明は、 例えば八ードディスク駆動装置 (HD D) といった記録ディスク駆 動装置に関し、 特に、 記録ディスク駆動装置の筐体に受け止められる底面から垂 直方向に直立する取り付け台と、 取り付け台の側面から水平面に沿って突き出て、 記録ディスクの中心に向かうにつれて記録ディスクに近づく傾斜面を規定する突 片とを備える記録ディスク駆動装置用ランプ部材に関する。 背景技術  The present invention relates to a recording disk drive such as an eight-disk drive (HDD), and more particularly, to a mounting stand vertically upright from a bottom surface received by a housing of the recording disk drive, and a side view of the mounting base. A protrusion protruding along a horizontal plane and defining an inclined surface approaching the recording disk toward the center of the recording disk. Background art
例えばハードディスク駆動装置 (HD D) の分野ではいわゆるロードアンロー ド機構は広く知られる。 このロードアン口一ド機構では、 磁気ディスクの静止時 に浮上へッドスライダは磁気ディスクの外側に設定される待避位置に待避する。 この待避位置ではへッドサスペンションの先端すなわちロードタブはランプ部材 に受け止められる。  For example, in the field of hard disk drive (HDD), a so-called load-unload mechanism is widely known. In this load / unload mechanism, the flying head slider is retracted to a retract position set outside the magnetic disk when the magnetic disk is stationary. In this retracted position, the tip of the head suspension, that is, the load tab, is received by the ramp member.
浮上へッドスライダが磁気ディスクに向かって移動する際や、 浮上へッドスラ ィダが磁気ディスクから待避する際に、 口一ド夕ブはランプ部材上を摺動する。 このとき、 HD Dに衝撃が加わると、 ロードタブはランプ部材から跳ね上がる。 浮上へッドスライダは HD Dの筐体に強く打ち付けられてしまう。 浮上へッドス ライダの損傷は引き起こされる。  When the flying head slider moves toward the magnetic disk or when the flying head slider retreats from the magnetic disk, the mouthpiece slides on the ramp member. At this time, if an impact is applied to the HDD, the load tab jumps up from the ramp member. The flying head slider is strongly hit against the HDD housing. Damage to the flying head slider is caused.

本発明は、 上記実状に鑑みてなされたもので、 ヘッドスライダが記録ディスク に向かって移動する際や、 ヘッドスライダが記録ディスクから待避する際に、 へ ッドスライダの跳ね上がりを確実に阻止することができる記録ディスク駆動装置 を提供することを目的とする。 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above situation, and can reliably prevent the head slider from jumping up when the head slider moves toward the recording disk or when the head slider retreats from the recording disk. Recording disk drive The purpose is to provide.
上記目的を達成するために、 本発明によれば、 筐体と、 筐体に組み込まれる記 録ディスクと、 記録ディスクの表面に向き合わせられるヘッドスライダと、 先端 でへッドスライダを支持するへッドアクチユエ一夕と、 筐体に受け止められる底 面から垂直方向に直立する取り付け台と、 取り付け台の側面から水平面に沿つて 突き出て、 記録ディスクの中心に向かうにつれて記録ディスクに近づく傾斜面を 規定する突片と、 筐体の内側に配置されて、 対向面で突片上の傾斜面に向き合わ せられる規制部材とを備えることを特徴とする記録ディスク駆動装置が提供され る。  To achieve the above object, according to the present invention, there are provided a housing, a recording disk incorporated in the housing, a head slider facing the surface of the recording disk, and a head actuator supporting the head slider at a tip. In the evening, a mounting base that stands vertically from the bottom surface received by the housing, and a protrusion that protrudes from the side of the mounting base along the horizontal plane, and defines an inclined surface approaching the recording disk toward the center of the recording disk And a regulating member disposed inside the housing and facing the inclined surface on the protruding piece at the opposing surface.
ヘッドスライダが記録ディスクから待避する際、 ヘッドァクチユエ一夕の回転 に基づきへッドアクチユエ一夕の先端は傾斜面に接触する。 さらにへッドアクチ ユエ一夕が揺動すると、 ヘッドァクチユエ一夕の先端は傾斜面を登っていく。 そ の後、 ヘッドァクチユエ一夕の先端は突片の表面を摺動する。 こうしてヘッドス ライダは待避位置に待避する。  When the head slider retracts from the recording disk, the tip of the head actuator contacts the inclined surface based on the rotation of the head actuator. Further, when Head Actu Yue rocks, the tip of Head Actu Yue climbs the slope. After that, the tip of the head actuary slides on the surface of the protruding piece. Thus, the head slider retracts to the retract position.
その一方で、 ヘッドスライダが記録ディスクに向かって移動する際、 ヘッドァ クチユエ一夕の回転に基づきへッドアクチユエ一夕の先端は傾斜面を下っていく。 こうしてへッドアクチユエ一夕の先端が傾斜面を下っていく間にへッドスライダ は記録ディスクの表面に向き合う。 気流の作用でへッドスライダに浮力が付与さ れる。 こうした浮力に基づきへッドスライダは記録ディスクの表面から浮上し続 ける。  On the other hand, when the head slider moves toward the recording disk, the tip of the head actuator goes down the inclined surface based on the rotation of the head actuator. In this way, the head slider faces the surface of the recording disk while the head of the head actuator goes down the inclined surface. The buoyancy is applied to the head slider by the action of the airflow. Based on such buoyancy, the head slider keeps flying above the surface of the recording disk.
こういった記録ディスク駆動装置では規制部材は対向面で傾斜面に向き合わせ られる。 ヘッドスライダが記録ディスクに向かって移動する際や、 ヘッドスライ ダが記録ディスクから待避する際に、 記録ディスク駆動装置に衝撃が加わると、 ヘッドスライダは傾斜面から跳ね上がろうとする。 このとき、 ヘッドァクチユエ 一夕の先端は規制部材の対向面に受け止められる。 規制部材の働きでへッドスラ イダの跳ね上がりは確実に阻止される。 へッドスライダと筐体との衝突は回避さ れる。  In such a recording disk drive, the regulating member is opposed to the inclined surface at the opposing surface. When the head slider moves toward the recording disk or when the head slider retreats from the recording disk and an impact is applied to the recording disk drive, the head slider tends to jump from the inclined surface. At this time, the tip of the head actuator is received by the opposing surface of the regulating member. The operation of the restricting member surely prevents the head slider from jumping up. Collision between the head slider and the housing is avoided.
こうした記録ディスク駆動装置は、 突片上に規定されて、 傾斜面の最上端から 取り付け台の側面に並列に水平方向に延びる第 1摺動面と、 突片上に規定されて、 第 1摺動面から下降しつつ取り付け台の側面に並列に延びる第 2摺動面とをさら に備えてもよい。 このとき、 第 1摺動面は規制部材に向き合わせられてもよく、 第 2摺動面は規制部材に向き合わせられてもよい。 Such a recording disk drive is defined on the projection, a first sliding surface extending horizontally from the uppermost end of the inclined surface to the side surface of the mounting base in a horizontal direction, and defined on the projection. A second sliding surface that extends in parallel with the side surface of the mount while descending from the first sliding surface may be further provided. At this time, the first sliding surface may face the regulating member, and the second sliding surface may face the regulating member.
へッドスライダが記録ディスクから待避する際、 へッドアクチユエ一夕の先端 は傾斜面から第 1摺動面に向かう。 ヘッドァクチユエ一夕がさらに揺動すると、 へッドアクチユエ一夕の先端は第 1摺動面から第 2摺動面に向かって摺動する。 このとき、 記録ディスク駆動装置に衝撃が加わっても、 ヘッドァクチユエ一夕の 先端は規制部材の対向面に受け止められる。 規制部材の働きでへッドスライダの 跳ね上がりは確実に阻止されることができる。  When the head slider retreats from the recording disk, the tip of the head actuator goes from the inclined surface to the first sliding surface. When the head actuator further swings, the tip of the head actuator slides from the first sliding surface toward the second sliding surface. At this time, even if an impact is applied to the recording disk drive, the front end of the head actuator is received by the opposing surface of the regulating member. Bouncing of the head slider can be reliably prevented by the function of the regulating member.
一般に、 取り付け台および突片はランプ部材を構成する。 規制部材は一体成型 に基づき取り付け台および突片にー体化されてもよい。 その他、 規制部材は筐体 の内向き面に固定されてもよい。  Generally, the mounting base and the protruding piece constitute a lamp member. The regulating member may be formed into a mounting base and a protruding piece based on integral molding. Alternatively, the regulating member may be fixed to the inward surface of the housing.

こういった記録ディスク駆動装置用ランプ部材では規制片は対向面で傾斜面に 向き合わせられる。 ヘッドスライダが記録ディスクに向かって移動する際や、 へ ッドスライダが記録ディスクから待避する際に、 記録ディスク駆動装置に衝撃が 加わっても、 へッドアクチユエ一夕の先端は規制片の対向面に受け止められる。 規制片の働きでへッドスライダの跳ね上がりは確実に阻止される。  In such a ramp member for a recording disk drive, the regulating piece is opposed to the inclined surface on the opposing surface. Even when the head slider moves toward the recording disk or when the head slider moves away from the recording disk, an impact is applied to the recording disk drive, and the tip of the head actuator is received by the opposing surface of the regulating piece. . Bouncing of the head slider is reliably prevented by the function of the regulating piece.

A second sliding surface may be further provided that extends in parallel with the side surface of the mounting table while descending from the sliding surface. At this time, the first sliding surface only needs to face the regulating piece. The restriction piece may be connected to the mounting base based on integral molding.

以下、 添付図面を参照しつつ本発明の実施形態を説明する。  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
図 1は、 本発明に係る記録ディスク駆動装置の一具体例すなわちハードディス ク駆動装置 (HD D) 1 1の内部構造を概略的に示す。 この HDD 1 1は、 例え ば平たい直方体の内部空間を区画する箱形の筐体本体すなわちハウジング用べ一 ス 1 2を備える。 収容空間には、 記録媒体としての 1枚の磁気ディスク 1 3が収 容される。 磁気ディスク 1 3はスピンドルモータ 1 4の回転軸に装着される。 ス ピンドルモータ 1 4は例えば 5 4 0 0 r pmや 7 2 0 0 r pmといった高速度で 磁気ディスク 1 3を回転させることができる。 ベース 1 2には、 ベ一ス 1 2との 間で収容空間を密閉する蓋体すなわちハウジング用カバー (図示されず) が結合 される。 FIG. 1 schematically shows an internal structure of a specific example of a recording disk drive according to the present invention, that is, a hard disk drive (HDD) 11. The HDD 11 includes, for example, a box-shaped housing body, that is, a housing base 12 that partitions the internal space of a flat rectangular parallelepiped. One magnetic disk 13 as a recording medium is accommodated in the accommodation space. The magnetic disk 13 is mounted on a rotating shaft of a spindle motor 14. The spindle motor 14 can rotate the magnetic disk 13 at a high speed such as, for example, 5400 rpm or 720 rpm. Base 1 2 has a base 1 2 A lid, which seals the accommodation space, that is, a housing cover (not shown) is connected therebetween.
磁気ディスク 1 3の表面には、 最内周記録トラック 1 5と最外周記録トラック 1 6との間にデータゾーン 1 7が区画される。 データゾーン 1 7には同心円状に 記録トラックが描かれる。 最内周記録トラック 1 5の内側や最外周記録トラック 1 6の外側に区画される非デ一夕ゾーンには情報すなわちデ一夕は記録されない。 収容空間にはへッドアクチユエ一夕 1 8がさらに収容される。 このへッドアク チユエ一夕 1 8は、 垂直方向に延びる支軸 1 9に回転自在に連結されるァクチュ エー夕ブロック 2 1を備える。 ァクチユエ一タブロック 2 1には、 支軸 1 9から 水平方向に延びる複数のァクチユエ一夕ァ一ム 2 2が区画される。 こういったァ クチユエ一夕ブロック 2 1は例えば铸造に基づきアルミニウムから成型されれば よい。  A data zone 17 is defined between the innermost recording track 15 and the outermost recording track 16 on the surface of the magnetic disk 13. In data zone 17, recording tracks are drawn concentrically. No information, that is, no data is recorded in a non-delay zone defined inside the innermost recording track 15 or outside the outermost recording track 16. In the containment space, a head actuary 18 is further housed. The head actuator 18 includes an actuator block 21 rotatably connected to a vertically extending support shaft 19. In the actuator block 21, a plurality of actuators 22 extending in the horizontal direction from the support shaft 19 are defined. Such an actuator block 21 may be formed from aluminum, for example, based on the structure.
個々のァクチユエ一夕アーム 2 2の先端には、 ァクチユエ一夕アーム 2 2から 前方に延びるへッドサスペンション 2 3が取り付けられる。 へッドサスペンショ ン 2 3の先端にはいわゆるジンバルばね (図示されず) が接続される。 ジンパル ばねの表面に浮上へッドスライダ 2 4は固定される。 こうしたジンバルばねの働 きで浮上へッドスライダ 2 4はへッドサスペンション 2 3に対してその姿勢を変 化させることができる。  At the tip of each actuator arm 22, a head suspension 23 extending forward from the actuator arm 22 is attached. A so-called gimbal spring (not shown) is connected to the tip of the head suspension 23. The flying head slider 24 is fixed on the surface of the gimbal spring. By the action of such a gimbal spring, the flying head slider 24 can change its attitude with respect to the head suspension 23.
浮上へッドスライダ 2 4にはいわゆる磁気へッドすなわち電磁変換素子 (図示 されず) が搭載される。 この電磁変換素子は、 例えば、 薄膜コイルパターンで生 成される磁界を利用して磁気ディスク 1 3に情報を書き込む薄膜磁気へッドとい つた書き込み素子 (図示されず) と、 スピンバルブ膜やトンネル接合膜の抵抗変 化を利用して磁気ディスク 1 3から情報を読み出す巨大磁気抵抗効果 (GMR) 素子やトンネル接合磁気抵抗効果 (TMR) 素子といった読み出し素子 (図示さ れず) とで構成されればよい。  A so-called magnetic head, that is, an electromagnetic transducer (not shown) is mounted on the flying head slider 24. The electromagnetic transducer includes, for example, a write element (not shown) such as a thin-film magnetic head that writes information on a magnetic disk 13 using a magnetic field generated by a thin-film coil pattern, a spin-valve film and a tunnel. If it is composed of a read element (not shown), such as a giant magnetoresistance (GMR) element or a tunnel junction magnetoresistance (TMR) element, which reads information from the magnetic disk 13 using the resistance change of the bonding film Good.
浮上へッドスライダ 2 4には、 磁気ディスク 1 3の表面に向かってへッドサス ペンション 2 3から押し付け力が作用する。 磁気ディスク 1 3の回転に基づき磁 気ディスク 1 3の表面で生成される気流の働きで浮上へッドスライダ 2 4には浮 力が作用する。 へッドサスペンション 2 3の押し付け力と浮力とのバランスで磁 気ディスク 1 3の回転中に比較的に高い剛性で浮上へッドスライダ 2 4は浮上し 続けることができる。 A pressing force is applied to the flying head slider 24 from the head suspension 23 toward the surface of the magnetic disk 13. Buoyancy acts on the flying head slider 24 by the action of airflow generated on the surface of the magnetic disk 13 based on the rotation of the magnetic disk 13. The magnetic force is balanced by the balance between the pressing force and the buoyancy of the head suspension 23. During the rotation of the air disk 13, the flying head slider 24 can keep flying with relatively high rigidity.
こういった浮上へッドスライダ 2 4の浮上中にへッドアクチユエ一夕 1 8が支 軸 1 9回りで回転すると、 浮上へッドスライダ 2 4は磁気ディスク 1 3の半径線 に沿って移動することができる。 その結果、 浮上ヘッドスライダ 2 4上の電磁変 換素子は最内周記録トラック 1 5と最外周記録トラック 1 6との間でデ一夕ゾー ン 1 7を横切ることができる。 こうして浮上ヘッドスライダ 2 4上の電磁変換素 子は目標の記録トラック上に位置決めされる。 へッドアクチユエ一夕 1 8の回転 は例えばボイスコイルモータ (V CM) といった動力源 2 5の働きを通じて実現 されればよい。  When the head actuator 18 rotates around the support shaft 19 while the flying head slider 24 is flying, the flying head slider 24 can move along the radial line of the magnetic disk 13. As a result, the electromagnetic transducer on the flying head slider 24 can cross the data zone 17 between the innermost recording track 15 and the outermost recording track 16. Thus, the electromagnetic transducer on the flying head slider 24 is positioned on the target recording track. The rotation of the head actuator 18 can be realized through the operation of a power source 25 such as a voice coil motor (VCM).
へッドサスペンション 2 3の先端には、 へッドサスペンション 2 3の先端から 前方に延びるロードタブ 2 6が固定される。 ロードタブ 2 6はへッドアクチユエ —夕 1 8の揺動に基づき磁気ディスク 1 3の半径方向に移動することができる。 ロードタブ 2 6の移動経路上には磁気ディスク 1 3の外側でランプ部材 2 7が配 置される。 ランプ部材 2 7の先端は、 磁気ディスク 1 3の外縁から内側に進入し、 最外周記録トラック 1 6の外側で磁気ディスク 1 3の表面に向き合わせられる。 ランプ部材 2 7およびロードタブ 2 6は協働でいわゆる口一ドアンロード機構を 構成する。 ランプ部材 2 7は例えば硬質プラスチック材料から成型されればよい。 図 2に示されるように、 ランプ部材 2 7は、 磁気ディスク 1 3の外側でベース 1 2の底板に例えばねじ留めされる取り付け台 3 1を備える。 取り付け台 3 1は、 ベース 1 2の底板に受け止められる底面から垂直方向に直立する。 取り付け台 3 1の側面には、 取り付け台 3 1の側面からへッドアクチユエ一夕 1 8の支軸 1 9 に向かって水平面に沿って突き出る突片 3 2が形成される。 突片 3 2は例えば一 体成型に基づき取り付け台 3 1に一体化される。 取り付け台 3 1および突片 3 2 には受け入れ溝 3 3が形成される。 受け入れ溝 3 3には磁気ディスク 1 3が受け 入れられる。 A load tab 26 extending forward from the tip of the head suspension 23 is fixed to the tip of the head suspension 23. The load tab 26 can move in the radial direction of the magnetic disk 13 based on the swing of the head actuator 18. The on the movement path of the load tab 2 6 ramp 2 7 is placed outside the magnetic disk 1 3. The tip of the ramp member 27 enters inside from the outer edge of the magnetic disk 13 and faces the surface of the magnetic disk 13 outside the outermost recording track 16. The ramp member 27 and the load tab 26 cooperate to form a so-called single-door unloading mechanism. The lamp member 27 may be molded from a hard plastic material, for example. As shown in FIG. 2, the ramp member 27 includes a mounting base 31 that is screwed to the bottom plate of the base 12 outside the magnetic disk 13, for example. The mounting base 31 is vertically upright from the bottom surface received by the bottom plate of the base 12. On the side surface of the mounting base 31, a projecting piece 32 protruding from the side surface of the mounting base 31 toward the support shaft 19 of the head actuator 18 along a horizontal plane is formed. The projecting piece 32 is integrated with the mounting base 31 based on, for example, integral molding. A receiving groove 33 is formed in the mounting base 31 and the projecting piece 32. The magnetic disk 13 is received in the receiving groove 33.
突片 3 2の表面には、 ロードタブ 2 6の移動経路に沿って接触面 3 4が規定さ れる。 この接触面 3 4は、 磁気ディスク 1 3上の最外周記録卜ラック 1 6に最も 接近して配置される傾斜面 3 5を備える。 傾斜面 3 5は、 磁気ディスク 1 3の中 心に向かうにつれて磁気ディスク 1 3の表面に近づく。 傾斜面 3 5の最上端すな わち外端には第 1摺動面 3 6が接続される。 第 1摺動面 3 6はロードタブ 2 6の 移動経路に沿って、 傾斜面 3 5の最上端から取り付け台 2 8の側面に並列に水平 方向に延びる。 第 1摺動面 3 6の外端には磁気ディスク 1 3から遠ざかる方向に 延びる第 2摺動面 3 7力 S接続される。 第 2摺動面 3 7はロードタブ 2 6の移動経 路に沿って、 第 1摺動面 3 3から下降しつつ取り付け台 2 8の側面に並列に延び る。 第 2摺動面 3 7は第 1摺動面 3 6よりも低い位置に配置される。 言い換えれ ば、 第 2摺動面 3 7は、 第 1摺動面 3 6に比べて、 磁気ディスク 1 3の表面を含 む 1水平面に接近する。 第 1および第 2摺動面 3 6、 3 7の接続にあたって、 第 2摺動面 3 7には、 第 1摺動面 3 6から遠ざかるにつれて徐々に下る傾斜面が形 成される。 A contact surface 34 is defined on the surface of the projection 32 along the movement path of the load tab 26. The contact surface 34 has an inclined surface 35 arranged closest to the outermost recording track 16 on the magnetic disk 13. The inclined surface 35 is inside the magnetic disk 13 As it approaches the mind, it approaches the surface of the magnetic disk 13. The first sliding surface 36 is connected to the uppermost end, that is, the outer end of the inclined surface 35. The first sliding surface 36 extends horizontally from the uppermost end of the inclined surface 35 to the side surface of the mounting table 28 along the movement path of the load tab 26. An outer end of the first sliding surface 36 is connected to a second sliding surface 37 force S extending in a direction away from the magnetic disk 13. The second sliding surface 37 extends in parallel to the side surface of the mounting base 28 while descending from the first sliding surface 33 along the movement path of the load tab 26. The second sliding surface 37 is arranged at a position lower than the first sliding surface 36. In other words, the second sliding surface 37 is closer to one horizontal plane including the surface of the magnetic disk 13 than the first sliding surface 36 is. When the first and second sliding surfaces 36, 37 are connected, the second sliding surface 37 is formed with an inclined surface that gradually decreases as the distance from the first sliding surface 36 increases.
接触面 3 4よりもへッドアクチユエ一夕 1 8の支軸 1 9に近い位置で突片 3 2 には変位規制面 3 8が規定される。 この変位規制面 3 8は少なくとも第 2摺動面 3 7に並列に延びればよい。 後述されるようにロードタブ 2 6が第 2摺動面 3 7 に受け止められると、 変位規制面 3 8は浮上ヘッドスライダ 2 4に向き合わせら れる。 変位規制面 3 8の働きで、 隣接する浮上ヘッドスライダ 2 4同士の衝突は 阻止される。  At the position closer to the support shaft 19 of the head actuator 18 than the contact surface 34, a displacement regulating surface 38 is defined on the protruding piece 32. The displacement regulating surface 38 may extend at least in parallel with the second sliding surface 37. When the load tab 26 is received by the second sliding surface 37 as described later, the displacement regulating surface 38 faces the flying head slider 24. By the action of the displacement regulating surface 38, the collision between the adjacent flying head sliders 24 is prevented.
取り付け台 3 1の側面には、 へッドアクチユエ一夕 1 8の支軸 1 9に向かって 水平面に沿って突き出る板状の規制部材すなわち規制片 3 9が形成される。 規制 片 3 9の対向面には、 接触面 3 4すなわち傾斜面 3 5並びに第 1および第 2摺動 面 3 6、 3 7が向き合わせられる。 規制片 3 9および接触面 3 4の間にはロード タブ 2 6を受け入れる所定の間隔が確保される。 規制片 3 9は等間隔で第 1およ び第 2摺動面 3 6、 3 7に向き合わせられればよい。 規制片 3 8は一体成型に基 づき取り付け台 3 1および突片 3 2に一体ィ匕されてもよい。  On the side surface of the mounting base 31, a plate-shaped restricting member, that is, a restricting piece 39 is formed, which protrudes along a horizontal plane toward the support shaft 19 of the head actuator 18. A contact surface 34, that is, an inclined surface 35, and first and second sliding surfaces 36, 37 are opposed to the opposing surface of the restriction piece 39. A predetermined space for receiving the load tab 26 is secured between the restriction piece 39 and the contact surface 34. The restricting pieces 39 need only be opposed to the first and second sliding surfaces 36 and 37 at equal intervals. The restricting piece 38 may be integrally formed on the mounting base 31 and the protruding piece 32 based on integral molding.
いま、 磁気ディスク 1 3の回転が停止する場面を想定する。 情報の書き込みや 読み出しが完了すると、 動力源 2 5は支軸 1 9回りで順方向にヘッドァクチユエ 一夕 1 8を回転させる。 ァクチユエ一夕アーム 2 2およびへッドサスペンション 2 3は磁気ディスク 1 3の外側に向かって駆動される。 図 3に示されるように、 浮上へッドスライダ 2 4が最外周記録トラック 1 6を越えて非データゾーンすな わちランディングゾーンに向き合うと、 ロードタブ 2 6は接触面 3 4の傾斜面 3 5に接触する。 さらにァクチユエ一夕アーム 2 2が揺動すると、 口一ド夕ブ 2 6 は傾斜面 3 5を登っていく。 ロードタブ 2 6が傾斜面 3 5を登るにつれて、 へッ ドサスペンション 2 3の先端は磁気ディスク 1 3の表面から徐々に遠ざかつてい く。 ジンバルばねがへッドサスペンション 2 3に係り合うと、 浮上へッドスライ ダ 2 4は磁気ディスク 1 3の表面から引き上げられる。 その後、 ァクチユエ一夕 アーム 2 2がさらに揺動すると、 ロードタブ 2 6は第 1摺動面 3 6から第 2摺動 面 3 7まで摺動する。 ロードタブ 2 6が最大限に磁気ディスク 1 3から遠ざかる と、 浮上ヘッドスライダ 2 4は待避位置に位置決めされる。 こうしてロードタブ 2 6はランプ部材 2 7に受け止められる。 磁気ディスク 1 3の回転は停止する。 ロードタブ 2 6はランプ部材 2 7上に保持されることから、 無風状態にも拘わら ず磁気ディスク 1 3に対する浮上へッドスライダ 2 4の衝突や接触は回避される ことができる。 磁気ディスク 1 3の表面に広がる潤滑剤と浮上へッドスライダ 2 4との吸着は効果的に阻止されることができる。 特に、 ロードタブ 2 6は第 2摺 動面 3 7で保持されることから、 ジンバルばねとへッドサスペンション 2 3との 係り合いは解除される。 磁気ディスク 1 3の静止中にジンバルばねの変形は回避 される。 Now, assume that the rotation of the magnetic disk 13 stops. When the writing and reading of information are completed, the power source 25 rotates the head actuator 18 around the support shaft 19 in the forward direction. The actuator 22 and the head suspension 23 are driven outward of the magnetic disk 13. As shown in FIG. 3, the flying head slider 24 does not move beyond the outermost recording track 16 to form a non-data zone. That is, when facing the landing zone, the load tab 26 contacts the inclined surface 35 of the contact surface 34. When the arm 22 further swings, the mouth 26 moves up the slope 35. As the load tab 26 climbs the inclined surface 35, the tip of the head suspension 23 gradually moves away from the surface of the magnetic disk 13. When the gimbal spring engages the head suspension 23, the flying head slider 24 is pulled up from the surface of the magnetic disk 13. Thereafter, when the arm 22 further swings, the load tab 26 slides from the first sliding surface 36 to the second sliding surface 37. When the load tab 26 is moved as far away from the magnetic disk 13 as possible, the flying head slider 24 is positioned at the retracted position. Thus, the load tab 26 is received by the ramp member 27. The rotation of the magnetic disk 13 stops. Since the load tab 26 is held on the ramp member 27, collision or contact of the flying head slider 24 with the magnetic disk 13 can be avoided even in a windless state. Adsorption between the lubricant spreading on the surface of the magnetic disk 13 and the flying head slider 24 can be effectively prevented. In particular, since the load tab 26 is held by the second sliding surface 37, the engagement between the gimbal spring and the head suspension 23 is released. The deformation of the gimbal spring is avoided while the magnetic disk 13 is stationary.
HD D 1 1が情報の書き込みや読み出しといった指令を受け取ると、 まず、 磁 気ディスク 1 3の回転が始まる。 磁気ディスク 1 3の回転が定常状態に達すると、 動力源 2 5は前述の順方向とは反対の逆方向に支軸 1 9回りにへッドアクチユエ —夕 1 8を回転させる。 ァクチユエ一夕アーム 2 2およびへッドサスペンション 2 3は磁気ディスク 1 3の回転軸に向かって駆動される。 ロードタブ 2 6は第 2 摺動面 3 7、 第 1摺動面 3 6および傾斜面 3 5を順番に摺動していく。 ァクチュ ェ一夕アーム 2 2の揺動に基づきロードタブ 2 6は傾斜面 3 5を下っていく。 こうしてロードタブ 2 6が傾斜面 3 5を下っていく間に浮上へッドスライダ 2 4は磁気ディスク 1 3の表面に向き合う。 浮上へッドスライダ 2 4には、 磁気デ イスク 1 3の表面に沿って生成される気流に基づき浮力が付与される。 その後、 ァクチユエ一夕アーム 2 2がさらに揺動すると、 ロードタブ 2 6は傾斜面 3 5す なわちランプ部材 2 7から離脱する。 磁気ディスク 1 3が定常状態で回転する結 果、 ランプ部材 2 7に支えられなくても浮上ヘッドスライダ 2 4は磁気ディスク 1 3の表面から浮上し続けることができる。 When the HDD 11 receives a command to write or read information, first, the magnetic disk 13 starts rotating. When the rotation of the magnetic disk 13 reaches a steady state, the power source 25 rotates the head actuator 19 around the support shaft 19 in the opposite direction to the above-described forward direction. The actuator arm 22 and the head suspension 23 are driven toward the rotation axis of the magnetic disk 13. The load tab 26 slides on the second sliding surface 37, the first sliding surface 36, and the inclined surface 35 in this order. The load tab 26 goes down the slope 35 based on the swing of the arm 22. In this way, the flying head slider 24 faces the surface of the magnetic disk 13 while the load tab 26 moves down the inclined surface 35. The flying head slider 24 is provided with buoyancy based on an airflow generated along the surface of the magnetic disk 13. Thereafter, when the arm 22 further swings, the load tab 26 is separated from the inclined surface 35, that is, the ramp member 27. The magnetic disk 13 rotates in a steady state. As a result, the flying head slider 24 can keep flying above the surface of the magnetic disk 13 without being supported by the ramp member 27.
以上のような H D D 1 1では、 規制片 3 9は、 対向面で傾斜面 3 5並びに第 1 および第 2摺動面 3 6、 3 7に向き合わせられる。 浮上ヘッドスライダ 2 4が磁 気ディスク 1 3に向かって移動する際や、 浮上へッドスライダ 2 4が磁気ディス ク 1 3から待避する際に、 HD D 1 1に衝撃が加わると、 ロードタブ 2 6は傾斜 面 3 5や第 1および第 2摺動面 3 6、 3 7から跳ね上がろうとする。 このとき、 ロードタブ 2 6は規制片 3 9の対向面に受け止められる。 規制片 3 9の働きで口 —ドタブ 2 6すなわち浮上へッドスライダ 2 4の跳ね上がりは確実に阻止される。 浮上へッドスライダ 2 とハウジング用カバ一やべ一ス 1 2との衝突は阻止され る。 こうしてロードタブ 2 6の静止時だけでなく、 口一ドタブ 2 6の移動時にも 浮上へッドスライダ 2 4の損傷は確実に回避される。  In the HDD 11 as described above, the regulating piece 39 is opposed to the inclined surface 35 and the first and second sliding surfaces 36 and 37 on the opposing surface. When the flying head slider 24 moves toward the magnetic disk 13 or when the flying head slider 24 retreats from the magnetic disk 13 and the HDD 11 receives an impact, the load tab 26 becomes Attempts to jump from the inclined surface 35 and the first and second sliding surfaces 36, 37. At this time, the load tab 26 is received by the opposing surface of the restriction piece 39. The opening of the mouth tab 26, that is, the flying head slider 24, is reliably prevented by the function of the regulating piece 39. Collision between the flying head slider 2 and the housing cover or base 12 is prevented. Thus, not only when the load tab 26 is stationary but also when the mouth tab 26 is moved, damage to the flying head slider 24 is reliably avoided.
特に、 前述の HD D 1 1では 1枚の磁気ディスク 1 3が組み込まれる。 こうし た HD D 1 1では、 通常、 磁気ディスク 1 3はべ一ス 1 2の底板に寄せて配置さ れる。 傾斜面 3 5や第 1および第 2摺動面 3 6、 3 7とカバ一との間には大きな 空間が形成されてしまう。 ロードタブ 2 6の跳ね上がりに基づく浮上へッドスラ イダ 2 4とカバ一との衝突の衝撃は増大してしまう。 こういった場合でも、 規制 片 3 9の働きで口一ドタブ 2 6すなわち浮上へッドスライダ 2 4の跳ね上がりは 確実に阻止される。 浮上へッドスライダ 2 4の損傷は確実に回避されることがで きる。  In particular, the above-mentioned HDD 11 incorporates one magnetic disk 13. In such an HDD 11, the magnetic disk 13 is usually arranged close to the bottom plate of the base 12. A large space is formed between the slope 35 and the first and second sliding surfaces 36, 37 and the cover. The impact of the collision between the flying head slider 24 and the cover based on the jump of the load tab 26 increases. Even in such a case, the action of the restricting piece 39 ensures that the mouth tab 26, ie, the flying head slider 24, does not jump. Damage to the flying head slider 24 can be reliably avoided.
前述の HD D 1 1には例えば 2枚以上の磁気ディスク 1 3が組み込まれてもよ レ^ このとき、 ランプ部材 2 7 aには、 図 4に示されるように、 磁気ディスク 1 3ごとに突片 3 2が形成されればよい。 個々の突片 3 2には受け入れ溝 3 3が形 成される。 個々の突片 3 2には、 前述と同様に、 接触面 3 4すなわち傾斜面 3 5 並びに第 1および第 2摺動面 3 6、 3 7が形成される。 図中、 前述の実施形態と 均等な構造や構成には同一の参照符号が付される。  For example, two or more magnetic disks 13 may be incorporated in the HDD 11 described above. At this time, as shown in FIG. What is necessary is just to form the projecting piece 32. A receiving groove 33 is formed in each protruding piece 32. Each of the projecting pieces 32 has a contact surface 34, that is, an inclined surface 35, and first and second sliding surfaces 36 and 37, as described above.

When the flying head slider 24 moves toward the magnetic disk 13 or when the flying head slider 24 When evacuating from 3, even if an impact is applied to the HDD 11, the load tab 25 is received by the opposing surface of the regulating piece 39. By the action of the restricting pieces 39, the load tab 26, that is, the flying head slider 24 is surely prevented from jumping up. The collision between the flying head slider 24 and the cover is prevented. Damage to the flying head slider 24 is reliably avoided.
