Abstract:
A system and method for filling hydrodynamic bearings with fluid are disclosed. The fluid filling system of the present invention includes a fluid storage tank to store fluid therein, a vacuum vessel to receive a hydrodynamic bearing therein, a fluid dispenser for connecting the fluid storage tank to the vacuum vessel and dripping the fluid into a micro-gap of the hydrodynamic bearing, a pump connected both to the fluid storage tank and to the vacuum vessel and separately exhausting air from both the fluid storage tank and the vacuum vessel to the outside, and a nitrogen storage tank for separately controlling pressure in both the fluid storage tank and the vacuum vessel, wherein the fluid storage tank is pressurized using nitrogen such that the pressure in the fluid storage tank becomes higher than the pressure in the vacuum vessel, thus causing the fluid to move to the vacuum vessel and to be dripped into the hydrodynamic bearing received in the vacuum vessel. The fluid filling system further includes an ultrasonic generator for applying ultrasonic waves to the fluid storage tank, thus removing air bubbles from the fluid.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a folder operating apparatus for a cellular phone which can stably open and close a folder by compensating for the phase difference caused by the instability and the load of the folder operating apparatus by controlling the position of the folder. The folder operating apparatus includes a rotating section provided in a folder and having driving means for generating a driving force, a fixing section, connected to a body, for rotatably supporting the body at both sides of the rotating section, a power transferring section provided with a pair of members connected to the driving means and the fixing section, and selectively engaged together to face each other, an elastic means for applying to the power transferring section a supporting force greater than a driving torque of the driving means, and being elastically compressed so that the members of the power transferring section are separated from each other when an external force is applied to the folder, and position detecting means, installed at corresponding positions of the rotating section and the power transferring section, for controlling the driving means when the rotating section and the power transferring section are in a same-phase state.
Abstract:
A bearing includes a hub to drive recording media; a sleeve to rotatably support the hub to define a hydrodynamic pressure generating space between the hub and the sleeve, the sleeve being formed with a fluid outlet through which the fluid passes at the predetermined position; a plurality of recesses to generate hydrodynamic pressure, the recesses being formed on at least one of the hub and the sleeve to be opened toward the hydrodynamic pressure generating space; and a fluid circulating member to circulate the fluid out-flowing from the fluid outlet to the hydrodynamic pressure generating space, the member being fixedly combined with the hub to slidably support the sleeve.
Abstract:
A spindle motor having a hydrodynamic pressure bearing includes a stator, a rotor, and a dynamic pressure generating unit including a sleeve having an upper plate disposed opposite to the rotor and at least one thrust dynamic pressure groove formed either at the upper plate of the sleeve or at the rotor. Inside width from a neutral radius to an innermost radius of the thrust dynamic pressure groove is larger than outside width from the neutral radius to an outermost radius of the thrust dynamic pressure groove such that the neutral radius is biased to the outside of the thrust dynamic pressure groove. Dynamic pressure at the inside width of the thrust dynamic pressure groove is higher than dynamic pressure at the outside width of the thrust dynamic pressure groove such that fluid supplied into the thrust dynamic pressure groove is guided to the outer diameter side.
