A voice coil motor coupling structure of a hard disk drive for coupling a
voice coil motor to a base plate of the hard disk drive, the voice coil
motor includes a coil coupled to a rear end portion of an actuator arm,
an upper yoke and a lower yoke provided at upper and lower portions of
the coil, respectively, separated at a predetermined distance from the
coil, and a magnet attached to the lower surface of the upper yoke. The
voice coil motor coupling structure includes a countersink formed in the
lower yoke, a countersunk head screw inserted in the countersink and
coupled to a screw coupling hole provided in the base plate to fix the
lower yoke to the base plate, a boss insertion hole formed in each of the
lower and upper yokes at both end portions in a lengthwise direction, a
boss protruding from the base plate and inserted in each of the boss
insertion holes to prevent horizontal movements of the lower yoke and the
upper yoke, and a screw inserted in each of the boss insertion holes and
coupled to a screw coupling hole provided at each boss to fixedly couple
the upper yoke to the lower yoke. Thus, the lower yoke of the voice coil
motor can be stably fixed at an accurate position not only on a flat type
base plate but also on a bowl type base plate.
