Publication number: 20050210485Abstract: The present invention provides a disk device with enhanced heat radiation effects which aims at effectively suppressing heat generation from a circuit substrate without preventing slimming of a disk device, facilitating assemblies and adjustments in manufacturing steps, and simplifying maintenance/repair work. In the present invention, connectors 18C to be connected to flat cables 18B are intensively disposed close to one edge of a circuit substrate 6, the circuit substrate 6 is fixed between side wall sections 7B, 7B, and a ventilation path for air produced by rotation of a disk 2 is formed by a space enclosed by the circuit substrate 6 and side wall sections 7B. Electronic parts 18 mounted on the circuit substrate 6 are fixed to a frame 7 oriented toward the disk 2 so as to face this ventilation path. This allows the air produced through rotation of the disk 2 to pass through a ventilation path 28 and go out of the frame 7 and allows heat from the electronic parts 18 to radiate outward.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2005Publication date: September 22, 2005Applicant: ORION ELECTRIC CO., LTD.Inventors: Yasuhisa Ueda, Norio Takahara, Toshihiro Tamura

Publication number: 20050132387Abstract: The invention provides an electronic apparatus to which a circuit board is attached so that noise caused by a drive unit can be prevented. The electronic apparatus includes a drive unit 2 and a circuit board 5 mounted with electronic components 4 for controlling the drive unit 2. Conductive circuit patterns are formed on both sides of the circuit board 5, and the electronic components 4 are mounted only on one surface of the circuit board 5. The circuit board 5 is attached to the electronic apparatus with anon-mounting surface thereof faced to the drive unit 2, whereby noise caused by the drive unit 2 is blocked by the circuit board 5. Consequently, it is possible to reduce noise of the drive unit 2 from affecting the electronic components 4 mounted on the circuit board 5. In addition, since the non-mounting surface of the circuit board 5 is faced to the drive unit 2 side, the freedom of design on the device side is improved.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2004Publication date: June 16, 2005Applicant: ORION ELECTRIC CO., LTD.Inventors: Tatsuo Katayama, Yasuhisa Ueda
