Disk drive base unit with communicating groove extending outside outer circumferential portion of connector
A base member of a disk drive apparatus includes a window portion, a first groove, and a communicating groove. The window portion passes through a bottom plate portion of the base member in an axial direction. The first groove is defined in an upper surface of the bottom plate portion around the window portion. A connector includes a board portion and an electrode terminal on a lower surface of the board portion. The board portion is on the upper surface of the bottom plate portion to cover the window portion, the first groove, and a portion of the communicating groove. The communicating groove extends from the first groove up to a position outside of an outer circumferential portion of the connector. An adhesive layer is between the upper surface of the bottom plate portion and the lower surface of the board portion.
Hermetically-Sealed Hard Disk Drive Cover Perimeter Adhesive Seal
A hermetically-sealed hard disk drive (HDD) involves the inner surfaces of sidewalls of a second cover overlapping with and adhesively bonded with the outermost surfaces of sidewalls of an enclosure base. Matching angled sidewalls for the inner and outermost surfaces, and an adhesive bond that provides a hermetic seal in which a ratio of the height to the thickness of the adhesive bond is in a range of 50-100:1, may be utilized to provide a hermetic seal having a long, narrow diffusion path to inhibit diffusion of gas through the adhesive bond. The second cover may include preformed corner corrugations, and the base may include corner pockets in which corner pleats, formed with the corner corrugations by bending inward the cover sidewalls, are received within when the cover and base are bonded together.
Hermetically-sealed data storage device for increased disk diameter
A data storage device involves inner surfaces of sidewalls of a second cover overlapping with and adhesively bonded with the outer surfaces of sidewalls of an enclosure base having an uppermost top surface, where the second cover or an underlying first cover are removably adhered to the uppermost top surface of the base. The removable adhesive bond may comprise a pressure-sensitive adhesive, which can provide for reworkability during the manufacturing and testing process. The second cover-to-base sidewall bond may form a hermetic seal between the second cover and the base. Hence, a thinner base sidewall adjacent to the recording disks is enabled, leaving more space available for larger-diameter recording disks within a standard form factor, hermetically-sealed storage device, which may be filled with a lighter-than-air gas.
Methods and devices for sealing hard drives
A hard drive includes a base deck with sidewalls to define a cavity. The hard drive further includes a weld lip that is positioned along and extends from the sidewalls. The weld lip includes a thermal choke that is configured to reduce heat transfer from the weld lip to the sidewalls.
DISK DRIVE
According to one embodiment, a disk drive includes a base including a bottom wall and a side wall, a cover including a top plate screwed on the side wall, a side plate provided along a peripheral edge of the top plate and opposing to an outer surface of the side wall, and an opening formed in the side plate, a sealing member held between the top plate of the cover and an upper end face of the side wall, and a recording medium rotatably provided at the bottom wall. The side wall of the base includes a first portion located adjacent to the recording medium, and a projecting portion projecting from the first portion outward of the side wall and located in the opening of the side plate.
Adhesive compositions that contain adhesive polymer and carbon nanotubes, and related products and methods
Described are adhesive compositions that contain adhesive polymer and carbon nanotubes; devices (e.g., electronic devices and electronic device enclosures) and compositions that include one of these adhesive compositions; and uses of such adhesive compositions as part of an electronic device.
Hard Disk Device Based on Blockchain
The present invention belongs to the technical field of hard disk device, and specifically relates to a Hard Disk Device Based on Blockchain. The hard disk device comprises a storage unit and a protection unit; wherein a hard disk body stores information in the blockchain; the protection unit comprises a protective case, an airbag and an interface extension board; the airbag is laid flat on the inner bottom of the protective case; the interface extension board passes through a side wall of the protective case and is bolted to the protective case; a dust board in a first through hole of the interface extension board is located at the port on the interface extension board close to the hard disk body when the hard disk body is not placed in the protective case; the dust board is connected to the inside of the first through hole by a first spring.
Disk device to cover a welded part of a housing with a protective member
According to one embodiment, a disk device includes a recording medium of a disk form, a magnetic head, a housing, and a first protective member made of a resin. The recording medium includes a recording layer. The magnetic head is configured to read/write information from/to the recording medium. The housing includes a base provided with an inner chamber in which the recording medium and the magnetic head are accommodated, a cover that covers the inner chamber, and a welded part at which the base and the cover are welded to each other. The first protective member is located outside the housing, to cover at least part of the welded part.
RAIL-BASED MEDIA TRANSPORT ROBOT FOR DISK CARTRIDGE DATA STORAGE LIBRARY
A data storage disk cartridge library system includes a rack having an array of bays, at least some housing disk media cartridges and/or media drives, and a pair of horizontal and vertical guide rails bordering each bay. A media transport robot includes fixed-position drive wheels at each corner for driving the robot along the guide rails, and pivoting guide wheels corresponding to each drive wheel for guiding the drive wheel horizontally along a horizontal guide rail and vertically along a vertical guide rail. With each guide wheel coupled with a horizontal guide rail the robot can travel horizontally on the rack, and with each guide wheel coupled with a vertical guide rail the robot can travel vertically on the rack. Electrical power can be supplied to the robot via the guide rails, and gear portions of the wheels mechanically interface with a mechanical portion of the guide rails.
