It is an object of the present invention to provide a hydrodynamic bearing which is highly reliable and capable of preventing a lubricant contained therein from flowing out of the bearing. In the hydrodynamic bearing, lower and upper end portions of a stationary shaft are properly spaced from a sleeve and a thrust plate, respectively, and an air channel is provided inside the stationary shaft with one end thereof opening to a space defined between an outer circumferential portion of the stationary shaft and the sleeve and with the other end thereof communicating with the outside. Thus, the hydrodynamic bearing has a highly reliable construction which can assuredly prevent the flow-out of the lubricant.

In a hydrodynamic bearing device in which a radial bearing face having a dynamic pressure generating groove on a shaft or an inner periphery of a sleeve is provided and a clearance between the shaft and the sleeve is filled with lubricant, an annular depression is provided on one end face of the sleeve adjacent to a rotor hub and a cover plate for covering the depression is attached to the sleeve so as to define a reservoir for the lubricant or air for the purpose of preventing such a risk that absence of an oil film occurs in clearances of a bearing of the hydrodynamic bearing device due to outflow of oil upon forcing of the oil by air received into the bearing. A step portion is provided on the other end face of the sleeve such that the step portion and the reservoir are communicated with each other by a communication hole. During operation of the hydrodynamic bearing device, air in the hydrodynamic bearing device reaches the reservoir via the communication hole so as to be discharged from the reservoir.

An object of the present invention is to provide a hydrodynamic bearing device having a high reliability which can achieve miniaturization and reduction of weight and thickness, and a motor and a disc driving apparatus using the same. In the hydrodynamic bearing device according to the present invention, a sleeve through which a shaft penetrates has a first opposing surface substantially orthogonal to a central axis of the shaft at one end and has a second opposing surface at the other end. A thrust plate having a disc shape which is fixed near one end of the shaft or which is integrally formed with the shaft is positioned so as to oppose the first opposing surface of the sleeve. A seal plate positioned near the other end of the shaft is positioned with a gap to the second opposing surface of the sleeve.

The hydrodynamic bearing device comprises a sleeve 1, a shaft 2, a thrust bearing portion, and a lubricating fluid 5. The sleeve 1 has a bearing hole 1C. The shaft 2 is inserted into the bearing hole 1C in a state of being able to rotate relative to the sleeve 1. The thrust bearing portion has a hydrodynamic groove for generating pressure in the axial direction. The lubricating fluid 5 is held in a gap formed by the thrust bearing portion. The hydrodynamic bearing device is further constituted so that the value of a wear amount function F6 falls into a specific range. With the hydrodynamic bearing device, the required bearing performance can be satisfied, and the thrust bearing portion has a longer intermittent service life.

PROBLEM: To prevent oil film breakage in bearings without expelling of air internally accumulated at the bearing. METHOD FOR SOLVING THE PROBLEM: A hydrodynamic bearing type rotary device in which radial hydrodynamic grooves and thrust hydrodynamic grooves form communicating channels; have communicating holes designed to communicate the groove end of the radial hydrodynamic groove on the side opposite the thrust hydrodynamic grooves with the groove end of the thrust hydrodynamic groove on the side opposite the radial hydrodynamic grooves; have a circulation route composed by the communicating hole, the radial hydrodynamic groove, and the thrust hydrodynamic groove; and circulate lubricating oil by means of a pump force of the hydrodynamic groove. It is possible to attain a long-lasting hydrodynamic bearing-type rotary device in which lubricating oil is circulated by pressure applied by a hydrodynamic groove positioned upstream to a bearing portion, ceasing the formation of low-pressure parts from the bearing portion, preventing the accumulation of air bubbles, and thereby preventing the occurrence of oil film breakage at the radial hydrodynamic groove and the thrust hydrodynamic groove.
