Abstract
A pivot shaft fixing structure of a data storage device includes a projection hole formed through a top surface of a pivot shaft that rotatably supports an actuator. In addition, a projection protrudes from a bottom surface of a cover member and fits into the projection hole. Furthermore, a deformable member is disposed around at least a portion of the projection and is disposed between the bottom surface of the cover member and the top surface of the pivot shaft. The pivot shaft fixing structure is advantageously applied within a hard disk drive.
Claims18
A pivot shaft fixing structure of a data storage device, comprising:
- a projection hole formed through a top surface of a pivot shaft that rotatably supports an actuator;
- a projection protruding from a bottom surface of a cover member and fitting into the projection hole, wherein the projection is formed integral as one material with the cover member;
- and
- a deformable member disposed around at least a portion of the projection and disposed between the bottom surface of the cover member and the top surface of the pivot shaft.
A data storage device comprising:
- a base member;
- a cover member secured to the base member;
- a pivot shaft secured to the base member;
- an actuator rotatably coupled to the pivot shaft;
- and
- a pivot shaft fixing structure including:
- a projection hole formed through a top surface of the pivot shaft;
- a projection protruding from a bottom surface of the cover member and fitting into the projection hole, wherein the projection is formed integral as one material with the cover member;
- and
- a deformable member disposed around at least a portion of the projection and disposed between the bottom surface of the cover member and the top surface of the pivot shaft.
A pivot shaft fixing structure of a data storage device, comprising:
- means for coupling a pivot shaft of the data storage device to a cover member of the data storage device with a projection that is formed integral as one material with the cover member;
- and
- a deformable member disposed between a bottom surface of the cover member and a top surface of the pivot shaft and disposed substantially near the means for coupling.
