摘要:
In an optical head for performing the reproduction or recording of information for two or more types of different optical disks, the damage caused to an optical disk or an obj ective lens by collision between the optical disk and the objective lens is avoided. An optical heads device for reproducing or recording two or more types of information recording mediums different from each other comprises a first optical system, a second optical system, and a control unit for avoiding the collision between an optical disk and a second objective lens when a first optical system is in operation.

According to a first aspect the present invention is related to a head drum arrangement allowing a much easier mounting of the rotary transformer. The head drum arrangement comprises a non-rotating lower drum and a rotating upper drum, which are connected by a shaft fixed in the lower drum. The upper drum is mounted on the shaft by a bearing and preferably by two ball bearings. A rotary transformer is arranged between the lower drum and the upper drum having a fixed stator and a rotor rotating jointly with the upper drum. The rotor is non-positively held in its position by the magnetic force of a permanent magnet accommodated in the upper drum.

An embodiment of the present application includes a method for driving a voice coil motor in response to signals from a feedback network that senses voice coil motor velocity. The method includes steps of providing a drive signal to an H-bridge for a first interval. At the end of the first interval, the H-bridge is placed in a high impedance state. Following a pause for a second interval during which transient voltages extinguish, a sample and hold circuit is coupled to the voice coil motor. The sample and hold circuit measures a voltage from the voice coil motor that is directly proportional to voice coil motor velocity and thus is directly related to head velocity. After the sample and hold circuit measures the voice coil motor voltage, the input to the sample and hold circuit is disabled. An output signal from the sample and hold circuit is coupled to the feedback network and thus to the H-bridge. As a result, voice coil motor and head velocity is more accurately controlled, reducing probability of collision between heads and discs in a disc drive and thereby increasing reliability of the disc drive.

The microactuator (30) comprises a motor element (32) including a stator (38) and a rotor (40) capacitively coupled to the stator (38); an actuator element (34) having a circular structure; and a transmission structure (36) interposed between the motor element (32) and the actuator element (34) to transmit a rotary movement of the motor element (32) into a corresponding rotary movement of the actuator element (34). In particular, the transmission structure (36) comprises a pair of transmission arms (80, 81) identical to each other, arranged symmetrically with respect to a symmetry axis (A) of the microactuator (30). The transmission arms (80, 81) extend between two approximately diametrically opposed regions of the rotor (40) to diametrically opposed regions (84) of the actuator element (34).

An electrostatic transport structure (25) is formed by a plurality of concentric conductive regions (26a, 26b, 26c) to which biasing pulse trains (V1, V2, V3) are supplied. Each biased conductive region generates an electric field attracting any dielectric particles. The pulse trains supplied to immediately adjacent conductive regions are phase-shifted of a predetermined time and in a direction linked to the desired direction of movement for the electrostatic particles. Voltage pulses are sent to each conductive region delayed with respect to voltage pulses sent to an immediately preceding conductive region in the direction of desired movement and advanced with respect the voltage pulses sent to an immediately successive conductive region.

A passive non-contact magnetic latch (60) for latching read-write heads of a disk drive over a landing area of the disk is disclosed. The magnetic latch forms a magnetic circuit for capturing a latch tab (48) within an air gap (61). Magnetic flux lines traverse the latch tab in a direction substantially perpendicular to a direction of movement of the latch tab.

A metal-resin composite plate obtained by joining a metal sheet (1, 12) and a resin sheet (2, 13). An insert member (3, 17) having a through-hole is buried into the resin sheet. The insert member is in close contact with the resin of the resin sheet at its peripheral portions other than its surface at which the through-hole is open. The metal sheet includes a metallic coupling member (4, 16) fixed thereto, and the metal sheet and the resin sheet are united by the coupling member which is fitted into the through-hole. The insert member and the resin around the insert member involve stresses (F3, F4) due to their elastic deformation, so that sufficient force is generated for firm connections between the coupling member and the insert member and between the insert member and the resin sheet. The stress of the surrounding resin results from elastic deformation (V2-V3), smaller than the deformation (V2) produced in the insert member, which can generate the stress (F3) in the inner member.
