Definitions
- the present invention relates to a magnetic disk cartridge, and more particularly, to a structure of a shirt member for opening and closing a magnetic head inlet of a magnetic disk force cartridge in which a magnetic disk is rotatably incorporated in a cassette seal.
- the magnetic disk cartridge is a thin cassette shell with a rotatable magnetic disk for magnetic recording of analog and digital signals.
- the cassette shell has an upper surface slightly larger than the magnetic disk and the center of the magnetic disk. It is formed in a flat prismatic shape (substantially square shape) consisting of a bottom surface having an opening that exposes the core that supports the core, and a narrow side surface extending between the top surface and the periphery of the bottom surface.
- the magnetic disk cartridge is provided with a magnetic head insertion slot through which magnetic heads for magnetic recording and reproduction are brought in and out of both sides of the magnetic disk for external contact or close proximity.
- An opening and closing shutter member is provided at the entrance to prevent dust and the like from entering when not in use.
- the entrance of the magnetic head of the conventional magnetic disk drive consists of an elongated, generally rectangular opening extending in the radial direction of the magnetic disk on the top and bottom surfaces of the cassette shell. It is formed of a metal thin plate with a U-shaped cross section that extends along both the top and bottom surfaces of the cassette shell and extends along the side surface between them.
- the magnetic head inlet does not necessarily need to be provided on the top and bottom surfaces of the cassette shell so as to extend in the radial direction of the magnetic disk, and the magnetic head contacts from the outside over the entire radius on both sides of the magnetic disk.
- any shape can be used as long as it can be approached, and it is desirable to make the opening as small as possible to prevent dust and the like from entering the force cartridge.
- the magnetic head insertion port may be provided only on the side of the cassette shell, not on the top or bottom. It is becoming possible. That is, the magnetic disk is attached to the narrow side of the cassette shell.
- the magnetic disk force cartridge provided with the magnetic head inlet on the side surface of the cassette shell as described above, it is possible to incorporate a high-density, large-capacity magnetic disk.
- a high-density, large-capacity magnetic disk In such a magnetic disk, it is necessary to increase the transfer rate, and it meets the need to perform recording and reproduction by rotating the magnetic disk at a high speed like a conventional hard disk.
- the shirt member for opening and closing the magnetic head insertion opening as described above includes an upper sleeve portion extending along the upper surface of the cassette shell and a lower sleeve portion extending along the bottom surface, and a shirt evening member along the side surface. And a shirt opening to open the magnetic head insertion opening is provided in this shutter.
- This shirt member is formed by punching a plate-like member (metal plate or the like) into a predetermined developed shape together with the shirt member opening, and then performing a bending process to form a U-shape.
- the present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, that is, prevents deformation of the bent edge of the shirt evening opening in the shirt evening member, and slides in good contact without cutting the cassette shell. It is an object of the present invention to provide a magnetic disk cartridge which can be moved to open and close a magnetic head insertion opening. Disclosure of the invention
- the magnetic disk cartridge according to the present invention has a flat prismatic shape having an upper surface slightly larger than a built-in magnetic disk, a bottom surface having substantially the same shape as the upper surface and parallel to the upper surface, and a narrow side surface extending between the upper surface and the periphery of the bottom surface.

- a shirt member having a shirt opening opening and closing the magnetic head opening is provided on the cassette shell, and the shirt member is formed by bending a plate-shaped member.
- the opening edge of the shutter opening was formed on the upper and lower sleeves by a dimension at least three times the plate thickness from the folding curve when the flat plate member was not bent. It is a feature.
- the radius of curvature of the bent portion of the shirt member is set to be equal to or greater than the plate thickness.
- the magnetic head insertion opening can be made smaller, so that dust and the like enter the power cartridge. Can be effectively prevented.
- a shirt member that opens and closes the magnetic head insertion opening is connected to the upper, side, and bottom sleeves that extend along the top, side, and bottom of the cassette shell in a U-shaped section. Formed by bending along the bending curve of the opening edge of the shirt evening opening provided in the shutter section.
- the opening edge on the upper sleeve and lower sleeve sides at least three times the thickness of the bending curve on the upper and lower sleeve sides, the bending error of the bending of this shirt material can be allowed, and the opening of the shirt material is allowed. Without deformation, the corners of the shirt member protrude and come into contact with the force set shell, which can prevent shavings from being generated in accordance with the sliding, and reduce the occurrence of dropping, etc. Together There is an effect that it is possible evening member is always slide smoothly.

- FIG. 2 shows a state in which the shirt member of the magnetic disk cartridge of FIG. 1 is closed
- FIG. 3 is a bottom perspective view
- FIG. 3 is a top perspective view showing the magnetic disk cartridge of FIG. 1 with the shirt member closed
- FIG. 4 is a plan view showing the shirt member before bending.
- FIG. 5 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a bent portion of the shutter member.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a top side with a shirt member closed
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a bottom side
- FIG. It is a perspective view showing the state where the shutter member was opened.
- the cassette shell 2 in the magnetic disk force cartridge 1 of the present embodiment has a magnetic disk 3 rotatably built therein.
- the cassette shell 2 is made of a pair of upper and lower cassette shell halves formed by plastic molding and divided into upper and lower parts. It is formed.
- the cassette shell 2 has a substantially square upper surface 21 slightly larger than the built-in magnetic disk 3, a bottom surface 22 having substantially the same shape as the upper surface 21 and being parallel to the upper surface 21, and a width extending between the peripheral edges of the upper surface 21 and the bottom surface 22. It is formed in a flat prismatic shape having narrow side surfaces 23.
- the center portion of the magnetic disk 3 (recording medium) is fixed to a rotating member 3a.
- the rotating member 3a faces a circular opening 2a (see FIG. 2) opened on the bottom surface 22 of the cassette shell 2.
