Publication number: 20030093902Abstract: The specification discloses a device and method for manufacturing fluid bearings. The invention utilizes the electromagnetic forming method to manufacturing fluid bearings. The method uses a high speed plastic forming means to produce a dynamic pressure generating groove on the internal peripheral surface of the bearing. It further makes use of different thermal expansion coefficients for an internal mold and a raw sleeve to perform separation from the mold. Through the above-mentioned process, fluid bearings can be successfully made. This method can effectively prevent the problem springback and crease of the material during formation.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 19, 2002Publication date: May 22, 2003Inventors: Hung-Kuang Hsu, Chia-Lung Kuo, Mei-Lin Lai, Kuang-Hsien Chang, Ching-Hsing Huang, Min-Der Wu

Patent number: 6487162Abstract: A disc clamping device with self lock elements particularly for DVD-ROM or CD-ROM fixedly maintained on a turntable when disc is rotating in high speed. The device comprises a turntable having a boss on the center for putting disc thereon, and a disc clamping member tightly sleeved on boss having protuberances on periphery wherein protuberances are deformed inwards when biased by disc such that disc can insert through disc clamping member, and then protuberances return to original forms by elastically energized force for clamping disc on turntable. By utilizing this, the purposes of decreasing the umber of parts, easy assembly, and high precision positioning of disc are achieved.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2000Date of Patent: November 26, 2002Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Min-Der Wu, Wan-Wen Chiu, Hsu-Pin Pan

Patent number: 6363048Abstract: A disc clamp mechanism for preventing a disc (e.g., DVD-ROM or CD-ROM) from slipping and/or loosening in a high speed rotation comprises a positioning member sized to the center hole of the disc having a hole for being mounted on a turntable, and an inclined surface; a helical spring within the positioning member; a disc-clamping member sized to the center hole of the compact disc having circumferential raised portions, recessed portions each extending from the raised portion, and flexible V-shaped members surrounded by two recessed portions and a raised portion; and an elastic plane-like member mounted on the positioning member. As such, the disc is secured by the raised portions, the inclined surface, and the turntable when loaded onto the disc-clamping member. This mechanism finds applications in the DVD-ROM or CD-ROM products. Further, a thinner construction, an easy assembly, and a high positioning precision are realized by this mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 1999Date of Patent: March 26, 2002Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Min-Der Wu, Wan-Wen Chiu, Hsu-Pin Pan, Hung-Kuang Hsu, Chun-Min Chen, Chih-Hsuan Yang, Yea-Jiun Liou

Patent number: 5923110Abstract: A spindle motor for a disc drive, such as a CD-ROM drive, is provided. This spindle motor is a brushless motor of a single-phase axial-winding and radial-gap type including a stator, a rotor coupled to said stator, and a driving circuit for supplying a driving signal to the stator to rotate the rotor. The stator includes a pair of upper and bottom salient-pole pieces formed with a plurality of tooth-like portions serving as salient-poles. The peak surface of each tooth-like portion is formed into a symmetrical convex shape, which minimizes the cogging torque of the motor. Further, the use of a phase-adjuster in the driving circuit allows the motor to produce large output torque at high speeds. The output characteristics of this spindle motor meet the requirements of high speed CD-ROM drives.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 1997Date of Patent: July 13, 1999Assignees: Industrial Technology Research Institute, Sunonwealth Electric Machine Industry Co., Ltd.Inventors: Chi-Mou Zhao, Chin-Po Liao, Shyh-Jier Wang, Min-Der Wu, Der-Ray Huang, Tai-Fa Ying, Eric-G.
