摘要:
A method and combination for mitigating turbulent air flow across an actuator and a disc stack assembly of a data storage device. The combination includes a combination air plate and diverter with a retention member supporting an air plate/diverter member protruding through a diverter mounting aperture of a base deck. The base deck provides a diverter mounting surface confining the diverter mounting aperture and an attachment receptacle communicating with an attachment means to secure the retention member adjacent the diverter mounting surface. The method includes disposing the retention member adjacent the diverter mounting surface, press fitting an alignment pin supported by the retention member into an alignment receptacle of the base deck, securing the combination air plate and diverter to the base deck with an attachment means, and sealing an internal environment of the base deck from intrusion by an environment external to the base deck.

There is provided a pre-amplifier with a baseplate configured for mounting to an actuator in a disc drive. The baseplate is directly fixed to the actuator at one point, with a damping layer between a second surface of the baseplate and the actuator. The damping layer helps to constrain the baseplate from rotational movement relative to the actuator. Preferably, the baseplate is fixed to the actuator by a grounding pin coupled to the baseplate.

A voice coil motor pole assembly for supporting a latch is disclosed. The pole assembly includes a pin serving as an axle for the latch. The pole assembly also includes a protrusion that extends over a portion of the latch when the latch is mounted on the pin to thereby prevent the latch from being dislodged from the pin.

A crash stop assembly limits pivotal movement of an actuator assembly mounted on a base plate of a disc drive. The disc drive includes a signal channel extending from the actuator assembly to a disc drive circuit board, and the crash stop assembly includes a connector bracket secured to the base plate and supporting the signal channel. The crash stop assembly further includes a crash stop secured to the connector bracket and extending therefrom, and the crash stop includes a contact surface that contacts the actuator assembly to limit pivotal movement of the actuator assembly.

In general, the invention is directed to apparatus that provides one or more low-impedance paths to ground in a data storage device, such as a disc drive, through one or more conductive posts. When a shield, circuit board and base of the data storage device are fastened to one another, the conductive posts are driven into contact with a ground contact on the circuit board or the shield or both.

The present invention is a motor housing. The motor housing includes a centrally located rotor. The motor housing includes a stator having a plurality of stator teeth and a plurality of stator slots radially and symmetrically arranged about the rotor. Each stator tooth is spaced apart from each other by one of the stator slots. The motor housing also includes at least one printed circuit component deposited in at least one stator slot.

A base plate of a disc storage system including an interior and an exterior surface, an entrance hole passes between the two surfaces and a groove surrounds the entrance hole and reduces the passage of air along an interface between the exterior and the interior surfaces. The groove may be in the shape of a circle or other alternative shapes such as a rectangle, as considered within the plane of the interior surface. An overmold is molded to the base plate and fills the groove. The plate is generally made of a plastic. The groove is amenable to the stamping process as well.

An electrical connector device for an enclosure is provided. The electrical connector device includes an outer frame that is configured to at least partially surround an enclosure. The outer frame includes a plurality of mutually coupled sidewalls. The outer frame also includes an inner surface for coupling adjacent to the enclosure. An electrical connector body is included with one of the plurality of sidewalls of the outer frame.

Embodiments of the invention are directed to electronic device housings and may be particularly applicable to portable electronic devices. In an embodiment, an assembly comprises a first housing element that forms a first recess, a second housing element that contacts the first housing element, wherein the first recess faces away from the second housing element and the second recess faces towards the first housing element, wherein the first housing element and the second housing element combine to form an enclosure, and an electronic component within the enclosure. Embodiments of the invention increase shielding of electronic components within the housing and also reduce leakage paths through an interface between elements of the housing.
