Description
技术领域technical field
本发明涉及磁盘驱动器,特别是指微驱动器以及使用该微驱动器的磁头折片组合。The invention relates to a disk drive, in particular to a micro drive and a magnetic head gimbal assembly using the micro drive.
背景技术Background technique
磁盘驱动器为一种使用磁介质储存数据的信息存储装置。参考图1a,现有典型的磁盘驱动器(Disk Drive)包括一个磁盘及一个用于驱动磁头折片组合277(Head Gimbal Assembly,HGA)的驱动臂(磁头折片组合277设有一个装有磁头203的悬臂件(未标示))。其中,磁盘装在一个用以驱动磁盘旋转的主轴马达上,一个音圈马达(Voice-Coil Motor,VCM)用于控制驱动臂的运动,从而控制磁头203在磁盘表面上从一个磁轨移动到下一个磁轨,进而从磁盘中读取或写入数据。A disk drive is an information storage device that uses magnetic media to store data. With reference to Fig. 1 a, the existing typical disk drive (Disk Drive) comprises a magnetic disk and a driving arm for driving a head gimbal assembly 277 (Head Gimbal Assembly, HGA) (the
然而,在磁头203的行程中,由于音圈马达(VCM)和悬臂件所固有的容差(Tolerance),磁头203不能进行很好的位置控制,因而影响磁头203从磁盘中读取或写入数据。However, during the travel of the
为了解决上述问题,压电微驱动器(piezoelectric(PZT)micro-actuator)被用于调整磁头203的位移(displacement)。亦即,压电微驱动器以一个较小的幅度调整磁头203的位移从而补偿音圈马达(VCM)及悬臂件的容差。这样,可使磁轨宽度变得更小,可以增加50%的磁盘驱动器的TPI值(‘tracks per inch’value)(即增加了其表面记录密度)。In order to solve the above problems, a piezoelectric (PZT) micro-actuator is used to adjust the displacement of the
参考图1b,传统的压电微驱动器205设有一个U形的陶瓷框架297。该U形陶瓷框架297包括两个陶瓷臂207,其中每个陶瓷臂207在其一侧设有一个压电片(未图示)。参考图1a及1b,压电微驱动器205与悬臂件213物理相连,其中,在每个陶瓷臂207一侧,有三个电连接球209(金球焊接(gold ball bonding,GBB)或锡球焊接(solder bump bonding,SBB))将微驱动器205连接到磁头折片组合的电缆210上。此外,还有四个电连接球208(GBB或SBB)用于实现磁头203与悬臂件213之间的电连接。图1c则展示了将磁头203插入微驱动器205的详细过程。其中,磁头203通过环氧胶点212与两个陶瓷臂207上的两点206相粘结,从而使磁头203的运动依赖于微驱动器205的陶瓷臂207。Referring to FIG. 1 b , a conventional piezoelectric micro-actuator 205 has a U-shaped
当电流通过悬臂件电缆210施加于微驱动器205上时,微驱动器205的压电片将膨胀或者收缩从而导致U形陶瓷框架297的两个陶瓷臂207变形而使磁头203在磁盘的轨道上移动。这样,一个良好的磁头位置调整(head positionadjustment)就可以实现。When current is applied to the micro-driver 205 through the
然而,由于所述压电微驱动器205和磁头203被装在悬臂舌(未标示)上,当压电微驱动器205被激发时,由于微驱动器205的U形陶瓷框架297的限制,它将作单纯的平动而使磁头203摇摆,这样将产生与激发悬臂件基板引起的震动相同的频率的悬臂件的共振。这将限制磁盘驱动器的伺服系统带宽以及容量的提高。如图2所示,标号201代表激发悬臂件基板时的共振曲线,标号202代表激发微驱动器205时的共振曲线,该图清楚地展示上述问题。However, since the piezoelectric micro-actuator 205 and
此外,由于微驱动器205包括一个附加块,所以不仅影响其静态性能,而且影响悬臂件213的动态性能,例如共振性能(resonance performance),从而降低了悬臂件213的共振频率并增加了其增益。Furthermore, since the micro-actuator 205 includes an additional mass, it not only affects its static performance, but also affects the dynamic performance of the
同时,因为微驱动器205的U形陶瓷框架297十分易碎,所以其抗震性能也是一个问题。Meanwhile, since the U-shaped
因此,提供一种微驱动器、磁头折片组合、磁盘驱动器以解决上述问题实为必要。Therefore, it is necessary to provide a microdrive, a HGA, and a disk drive to solve the above-mentioned problems.
发明内容Contents of the invention
基于现有技术的不足,本发明的主要目的在于提供一种微驱动器及磁头折片组合,可以实现良好的磁头位置调整,并且在激发微驱动器时具有良好的共振性能(resonance performance)。Based on the deficiencies of the prior art, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a combination of a micro-drive and a head gimbal, which can achieve good head position adjustment and has good resonance performance when the micro-drive is excited.
本发明的另一目的在于提供一种具有较大伺服系统带宽以及容量的磁盘驱动器。Another object of the present invention is to provide a disk drive with larger servo system bandwidth and capacity.
为了达到上述目的,本发明揭露了一种磁头折片组合(head gimbalassembly)包括:磁头(slider);以磁头中心部分为旋转中心水平旋转磁头的微驱动器(micro-actuator);及用于支撑所述磁头和微驱动器的悬臂件(suspension)。其中,所述微驱动器包括支撑框,该支撑框包括基部、活动片、连接基部和活动片的引柱;及连接基部和活动片的至少一个压电片;所述引柱包括一个辅助磁头水平转动的枢轴部。在本发明中所述枢轴部比引柱宽度小。在一个实施例中,所述悬臂件包括形成于悬臂舌部、用于抵持支撑框基部的支撑装置。所述至少一个压电片夹持于所述悬臂舌部和微驱动器的支撑框之间,一片各向异性导电膜(ACF)将所述至少一个压电片和悬臂件物理及电性相连。In order to achieve the above object, the present invention discloses a head gimbal assembly comprising: a slider; a micro-actuator for horizontally rotating the head with the central part of the head as the center of rotation; and a slider for supporting the slider. Suspension of the magnetic head and micro-actuator described above. Wherein, the microdrive includes a support frame, which includes a base, a movable piece, a guide post connecting the base and the movable piece; and at least one piezoelectric piece connecting the base and the movable piece; the guide post includes an auxiliary magnetic head level Pivot to rotate. In the present invention, the pivot portion is smaller than the width of the guide post. In one embodiment, the cantilever member includes support means formed on the tongue of the cantilever for abutting against the base of the support frame. The at least one piezoelectric sheet is sandwiched between the cantilever tongue and the support frame of the micro-driver, and an anisotropic conductive film (ACF) connects the at least one piezoelectric sheet and the cantilever physically and electrically.
在本发明一个实施例中,所述磁头部分装设在支撑框的活动片上,所述支撑装置与悬臂件一体成型或与之相连接。其中,所述支撑装置由聚合物或金属制成。在一个实施例中,所述悬臂件包括一个设有小突起的负载杆,所述小突起用于支撑所述悬臂舌部,所述枢轴部形成于所述小突起的对应位置上。同时,在支撑框和悬臂舌部之间形成一个平行间隙。在本发明中,所述至少一个压电片为薄膜压电片或陶瓷压电片。所述至少一个压电片为单层结构或包含基层与压电层的多层结构。所述压电层为单层压电结构或多层压电结构,所述基层由金属、陶瓷或聚合物(polymer)制成。In one embodiment of the present invention, the magnetic head part is installed on the movable piece of the supporting frame, and the supporting device is integrally formed with or connected with the suspension. Wherein, the supporting device is made of polymer or metal. In one embodiment, the cantilever member includes a load bar provided with a small protrusion for supporting the cantilever tongue, and the pivot portion is formed at a corresponding position of the small protrusion. At the same time, a parallel gap is formed between the support frame and the cantilever tongue. In the present invention, the at least one piezoelectric sheet is a thin film piezoelectric sheet or a ceramic piezoelectric sheet. The at least one piezoelectric sheet is a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure including a base layer and a piezoelectric layer. The piezoelectric layer is a single-layer piezoelectric structure or a multi-layer piezoelectric structure, and the base layer is made of metal, ceramic or polymer.
在本发明一个实施例中,所述基部及活动片通过引柱在预定位置平行连接,所述基部及活动片均为长方体。每个压电片的两端分别和基部和活动片相连接,每个压电片上均设有复数电极触点。In one embodiment of the present invention, the base and the movable piece are connected in parallel at predetermined positions through guide posts, and both the base and the movable piece are cuboids. The two ends of each piezoelectric sheet are respectively connected with the base and the movable sheet, and a plurality of electrode contacts are arranged on each piezoelectric sheet.
本发明一种硬盘驱动器,包括磁头折片组合、与所述磁头折片组合相连结的驱动臂、磁盘;及用以旋转所述磁盘的主轴马达。其中,所述磁头折片组合包括磁头(slider)、以磁头中心部分为旋转中心水平旋转磁头的微驱动器(micro-actuator)及用于支撑所述磁头和微驱动器的悬臂件(suspension)。其中所述微驱动器包括支撑框,该支撑框包括基部、活动片、连接基部和活动片的引柱;及连接基部和活动片的至少一个压电片;其中,所述引柱包括一个辅助磁头水平转动的枢轴部。A hard disk drive of the present invention includes a HGA, a drive arm connected to the HGA, a disk; and a spindle motor used to rotate the disk. Wherein, the head gimbal assembly includes a slider, a micro-actuator for horizontally rotating the head with the central part of the head as a rotation center, and a suspension for supporting the head and the micro-actuator. Wherein said microdrive comprises a supporting frame, which includes a base, a movable piece, a lead column connecting the base portion and the movable piece; and at least one piezoelectric piece connecting the base portion and the movable piece; wherein, the guiding column includes an auxiliary magnetic head Pivot for horizontal rotation.
与现有技术相比,本发明微驱动器利用压电片来旋转支撑框的活动片,而磁头部分地安装于活动片上,从而可以旋转磁头。同时,设有枢轴部的引柱可阻止磁头横向运动,而仅允许其绕枢轴部旋转。因为枢轴部与磁头的中心线相对应,故磁头可在不使磁头折片组合摆动的情况下工作。亦即,磁头的后缘部(trailing side)及前缘部(leading side)可同时向不同方向旋转从而使磁头得到更大的移动幅度。因为磁头沿其中心旋转,故可以获得一个更大的位置行程调整能力及更宽的伺服系统带宽。通常,通过旋转方式调整磁头的微驱动器的工作效率为通过平动方式调整磁头的微驱动器(例如现有技术)的3倍。本发明微驱动器通过旋转方式调整磁头故可得到相当于现有技术3倍的工作效率。此外,相对于现有技术需要提供40V的驱动电压用于压电作业,本发明仅仅需要提供10V的驱动电压因为省略了微驱动器的摆动方式(sway mode),对应地,其节省了能源并可获得较佳性能。此外,因为在悬臂舌上形成一个支撑装置用于抵持支撑框的基部,从而在悬臂舌和支撑框间形成一个平行间隙,这样,当微驱动器被激发时,活动片将更加自由地运动并在大范围地旋转磁头。另外,悬臂共振现象不会发生在低频段,而仅仅有单纯的微驱动器共振现象发生在高频段,这将增大磁盘驱动器的伺服系统带宽及磁盘驱动器容量。最后,对比现有的U型陶瓷框架,本发明微驱动器的结构将获得更好的抗震性能。Compared with the prior art, the micro-driver of the present invention uses the piezoelectric sheet to rotate the movable sheet of the support frame, and the magnetic head is partially installed on the movable sheet, so that the magnetic head can be rotated. At the same time, the lead post provided with the pivot portion can prevent the magnetic head from moving laterally, but only allows it to rotate around the pivot portion. Since the pivot portion corresponds to the center line of the magnetic head, the magnetic head can operate without swinging the head gimbal assembly. That is, the trailing side and the leading side of the magnetic head can rotate in different directions at the same time, so that the magnetic head can obtain a larger moving range. Because the head rotates along its center, a greater position stroke adjustment capability and wider servo system bandwidth can be obtained. Generally, the working efficiency of the micro-driver that adjusts the magnetic head through rotation is three times that of the micro-driver that adjusts the magnetic head through translation (such as the prior art). The micro-driver of the present invention adjusts the magnetic head through rotation, so the work efficiency equivalent to 3 times of the prior art can be obtained. In addition, compared with the prior art that needs to provide a driving voltage of 40V for piezoelectric operation, the present invention only needs to provide a driving voltage of 10V because the sway mode of the micro-driver is omitted, correspondingly, it saves energy and can for better performance. In addition, since a supporting device is formed on the cantilever tongue to bear against the base of the support frame, a parallel gap is formed between the cantilever tongue and the support frame, so that when the micro-actuator is activated, the movable piece will move more freely and Rotate the head over a wide range. In addition, the cantilever resonance phenomenon does not occur in the low frequency band, but only the pure micro-drive resonance phenomenon occurs in the high frequency band, which will increase the servo system bandwidth of the disk drive and the disk drive capacity. Finally, compared with the existing U-shaped ceramic frame, the structure of the micro-actuator of the present invention will obtain better anti-seismic performance.
为使本发明更加容易理解,下面将结合附图进一步阐述本发明微驱动器、磁头折片组合、硬盘驱动器的具体实施例。In order to make the present invention easier to understand, the specific embodiments of the microdrive, the HGA and the hard disk drive of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

图7-9,10a,10c展示了微驱动器32实现磁头位置调整功能的第一种工作方式。在该实施例中,所述两个压电片321、322具有相同的极化方向(polarization direction),如图10a所示,该两个压电片321、322的一端404被共同接地,另一端401a和401b被分别施加具有两个不同波形406、408的两个电压(如图10c所示)。图7展示了微驱动器32的初始状态,即没有电压施加于微驱动器32上的压电片321、322上时的状态。当具有波形406、408的电压施加于两个压电片321、322上时,在第一个半个周期,随着驱动电压的变化,压电片321逐渐收缩到一个最短的位置,而同时压电片322逐渐膨胀到一个最长的位置(对应于最大的位移位置);然后又逐渐回复到其初始位置。在本发明中,因为压电片321和支撑框320的自由端392b和390b相连而压电片322和支撑框320的自由端392a和390a相连。在上述半个周期,随着驱动电压406、408的变化,顶臂390将被压电片321、322以枢轴部394为旋转中心旋转至左侧,然后又返回其初始位置。因为枢轴部394形成在引柱393上。当驱动电压406、408进入第二个半个周期时(和第一个半个周期的相位相反),压电片322逐渐收缩到一个最短的位置,而同时压电片321逐渐膨胀到一个最长的位置;然后又逐渐回复到其初始位置。在本发明中,因为枢轴部394的宽度比引柱393的宽度小,所以枢轴部394可以辅助磁头31的水平转动,亦即,引柱393很容易在小宽度枢轴部394处被弯曲,从而使磁头31可得到更大的转动。此外,因为所述支撑条300抵持支撑框320的底臂392,从而在顶臂390和悬臂舌328间形成一个平行间隙,这样,顶臂390在被压电片321、322驱动时可以更加自由地旋转。7-9, 10a, 10c show the first working mode of the micro-driver 32 to realize the head position adjustment function. In this embodiment, the two
图7-9,10b,10d展示了两个压电片321、322实现磁头位置调整功能的另一种工作方式。在该实施例中,所述两个压电片321、322具有相反的极化方向,如图10b所示。该两个压电片321、322的一端404被共同接地,另一端401a和401b被分别施加具有同一正弦波形407的电压(参图10d)。在上述电压驱动下,在相同的半个周期内,压电片321将逐渐收缩而同时压电片322将逐渐膨胀,从而将支撑框320的顶臂390旋转至左侧;当电压进入下半个周期时,压电片321将膨胀而同时压电片322收缩,从而将顶臂390旋转至右侧。7-9, 10b, 10d show another working mode in which two
在本发明中,因为磁头31部分地装设在支撑框320的顶臂390上,所以所述磁头31将以其中心部分(对应于枢轴部394)为旋转中心、随着顶臂390而旋转。从而可得到一个良好的磁头位置调整。In the present invention, since the
与现有技术相比,本发明微驱动器32可以磁头31的中心部分为旋转中心旋转磁头31,从而可使磁头31的前缘部(leading side)和后缘部(trailingside)可往不同方向移动,然而现有的微驱动器仅能摆动磁头的后缘部(因为其前缘部被固定).这样,因为磁头的前缘部和后缘部均可移动,所以本发明可使磁头得到更大幅度的摆动。对应地,就可以提高磁头的位置调整能力(headposition adjustment capacity)。Compared with the prior art, the
图11展示了本发明磁头折片组合共振性能的测试结果,其中,701代表悬臂件的基板激发共振曲线,而702代表微驱动器激发共振曲线。从该图可看出,当激发微驱动器32时,悬臂共振未发生在低频段,而仅仅有单纯的微驱动器共振发生在高频段,这样将增大磁盘驱动器的伺服系统带宽并提高其容量,同时减少磁头的搜索及定位时间(seeking and settling time)。FIG. 11 shows the test results of the resonance performance of the magnetic head gimbal assembly of the present invention, wherein, 701 represents the excitation resonance curve of the substrate of the cantilever, and 702 represents the excitation resonance curve of the micro-drive. As can be seen from this figure, when the micro-driver 32 is excited, the cantilever resonance does not occur in the low-frequency band, but only the pure micro-driver resonance occurs in the high-frequency band, which will increase the servo system bandwidth of the disk drive and improve its capacity, At the same time reduce the head search and positioning time (seeking and settling time).
在本发明中,参考图12,将本发明磁头折片组合3与磁盘驱动器壳体108、磁盘101、主轴马达102、音圈马达107等进行组装即可形成一个磁盘驱动器。因为本发明磁盘驱动器的组装过程及结构为业界普通技术人员所知晓,故在此不再详述。In the present invention, referring to FIG. 12 , a disk drive can be formed by assembling the
