Abstract
Disclosed is a head drum assembly of the video cassette recorder providing a lower drum, a motor which is mounted at the lower drum, ant upper drum rotating by the motor, a rotary transformer which is installed between the lower drum and the upper drum, and a plurality of head bases having one or more heads for reproducing the video signals from a magnetic tap and being integrally formed with the rotary transformer. The head bases and the rotary transformer are formed as one body by an insert molding. Advantages of the present invention are that assembling of the head assembly is easy, productivity is increased, and the manufacturing cost thereof is reduced.
Claims5
A head drum assembly of a video cassette recorder, the head drum assembly comprising:
- a lower drum;
- an upper drum which is mounted on the lower drum;
- a motor for generating a rotational force to rotate the upper drum and having a stator which is mounted at a lower surface of the lower drum, and a rotating rotor which is spaced apart from the stator by a predetermined interval and is rotated when an electrical signal is applied to the stator;
- a shaft for transmitting the rotational force of the motor to the upper drum;
- a plurality of magnetic heads for recording video signals onto a magnetic tape or for reproducing the video signals from the magnetic tape according to operating modes of the video cassette recorder;
- a rotary transformer having a rotary transformer stator fixed on the lower drum, and a rotary transformer rotor disposed above the rotary transformer stator for transmitting a signal generated from the plurality of magnetic heads to the rotary transformer stator;
- and
- a head base assembly including a plurality of head bases which are spaced from each other by a predetermined interval and on which the magnetic heads are mounted, and an annular shaped connecting piece for connecting the head bases to each other, the rotary transformer rotor being disposed within the annular shaped connecting piece and the rotary transformer rotor, the head bases and the annular connecting piece being integrally formed with each other.
