Disclosed is a device for assembling a device including a base and a main board assembly in a hard disk drive including an actuator having a magnetic head; a base having a spindle motor mounted thereon, the spindle motor rotating at high speed a disk on which the magnetic head is suspended to conduct data writing and reading; and a main board assembly assembled to a lower surface of the base. The device comprises a guide section for establishing a vertical assembling position of the base and the main board assembly and for allowing the main board assembly to be capable of a sliding movement to a predetermined location on the base; a stopper section for stopping the sliding movement of the main board assembly on the base; and a locker for locking the main board assembly stopped by the stopper section to the base in a vertical direction.

This application makes reference to, incorporates the same herein, and claims all benefits accruing under 35 U.S.C. §119 and §120 from an application entitled Device and Method for Assembling Base and Main Board Assembly earlier filed in the Korean Industrial Property Office on the day of Sep. 19, 1998, and there duly assigned Serial No. 38883/1998, a copy of which is annexed hereto.
1. Technical Field
The present invention relates to a hard disk drive, and more particularly to a device and a method for assembling a base and a main board assembly together.
In the accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, embodiments of the invention are illustrated, which, together with a general description of the invention given above, and the detailed description given below, serve to exemplify the principles of this invention.
FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a hard disk drive;
FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view representing an assembling pattern between a base and a main board assembly;
While the present invention will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which a preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown, it is to be understood at the outset of the description which follows that persons of skill in the appropriate arts may modify the invention here described while still achieving the favorable results of this invention. Accordingly, the description which follows is to be understood as being a broad, teaching disclosure directed to persons of skill in the appropriate arts, and not as limiting upon the present invention.
A hard disk drive can be connected to a computer system via a main board assembly unit. In other words, a base of a hard disk drive can first be connected to a main board assembly unit, and then the main board assembly unit can be connected to a main board of a computer system. Thus, the hard disk drive can be operationally connected to a central processing unit of a computer system to thereby establish a path for communication between the hard disk drive and the central processing unit of the computer system.
Turn now to FIG. 1, which shows an exploded perspective view of a hard disk drive. As shown in FIG. 1, a hard disk drive includes a disk 15 which is a recording data storage medium for recording and storing data, a spindle motor 10 for rotating the disk 15 at high speed, and a magnetic head 21 suspended from the disk 15 by an air bearing created by the disk 15 rotating at high speed and adapted to conduct data writing and reading while moving in radial directions. A plurality of screws S1, S2, S3, and S4 (shown in FIG. 1) are used to secure the cover 200 to the base 100.
