Application: Disk device (Patent ID: US20240096354A1)
The patent filed by Toshiba Corp. describes a disk device with a unique design involving a magnetic head, piezoelectric element, and flexure. The flexure consists of two parts, one of which swings with respect to the other due to the deformation of the piezoelectric element, changing the distance between the electrodes. The configuration allows for precise reading and writing of information on a magnetic disk.
Furthermore, the disk device includes specific features such as inclined surfaces and joining surfaces between the electrodes and the magnetic head, enhancing the functionality and performance of the device. The flexure design also includes curved parts and connections that enable smooth swinging motion between the parts, contributing to the overall efficiency of the disk device. Additionally, an actuator is incorporated to rotate the flexure about an axis, further optimizing the operation of the device.
