Magnetic head transferring device with improved magnetic head unlocking for hard disk drives

摘要

In a magnetic head transferring device of a hard disk drive, a rotor is rotatably mounted on a base and has a magnetic head for recording/reproducing information on/from the disk. A stator is installed on the base for actuating the rotor to move across a parking area and a recording area formed on the hard disk. First and second magnetic members are respectively installed at one end of the rotor and the stator and are magnetically coupled to one another when the magnetic head is positioned in the parking area of the hard disk so that the rotor is locked to not move. A pushing unit for gradually pushing the rotor by pressing in a direction such that the first and second magnetic members are separated. Thus, because the unlocking mechanism of the rotor is made slowly and smoothly by using the bimetal member, the impact and excessive rotation of the rotor during unlocking thereof can be prevented.
