Specific implementation mode
As shown in Figure 1, a kind of high-precision, closed loop gradient magnetoresistive sensor in embodiment one, including eight mistors
R1~R8, each two mistor are a pair, and the distance for being tested magnetic source per two mistor distances of centering is identical, four pairs of magnetosensitives
Resistance and tested magnetic source distance are different.Distance, which is tested two pairs of close mistors of magnetic source distance, can detect tested magnetic source magnetic
;Distance is tested two pairs of remote mistors of magnetic source distance and is placed in outside tested magnetic source magnetic field, to not by tested magnetic source magnetic field
Interference.
Two pairs of resistance that can detect tested magnetic source magnetic field are not respectively with a pair of by the magnetosensitive of tested magnetic source magnetic interference electricity
Resistance is linked to be one group of wheatstone bridge circuits.Two groups of wheatstone bridge circuits are full-bridge type wheatstone bridge circuits, two groups of favour stones
Electric bridge full-bridge circuit generates two difference outputs Vout1 and Vout2.Two groups of wheatstone bridge circuits connect two groups of feedback electricity respectively
Road.The mistors of source signals can be experienced in two groups of Wheatstone bridges to place apart from magnetic source distance gradient, thus two groups of favours this
The output of energization bridge signal is different, and gradient magnetic size can be obtained by comparison.
As shown in Fig. 2, two pairs of remote mistors of the tested magnetic source distance of distance are covered by soft magnetic materials in embodiment two, from
Without by tested magnetic source magnetic interference.
Distance is tested the mistor that two pairs of close mistors of magnetic source distance are covered with a pair by soft magnetic materials respectively and connects
At one group of Wheatstone bridge full-bridge circuit, two groups of Wheatstone bridge full-bridge circuits generate two difference outputs.In same group of electric bridge,
Two mistors are placed in parallel, it is ensured that the magnetic field intensity for the magnetic source experienced is identical, two magnetosensitives covered by ferronickel material
Resistance is placed in parallel, convenient for constituting bridge circuit, be used for experiencing in two groups of bridge circuits the mistor of magnetic field intensity according to away from
Far and near gradient from magnetic source is placed, it is ensured that carries out gradiometry to magnetic field.
When two groups of Wheatstone bridges of embodiment one and embodiment two are fed back respectively, feedback circuit structure is similar.With
For embodiment one, as shown in figure 3, for the structural schematic diagram independently fed back to two groups of wheatstone bridge circuits.Often
The output signal that group Wheatstone bridge obtains is respectively by first order feed-back amplifying circuit, and the output of each amplifier is by feeding back electricity
The feedback coil on road forms one kind and independently feeds back, and the electric current in two feedback coils can detect tested magnetic source magnetic field
Two pairs of mistors at generate feedback magnetic field, the magnetic field that the feedback magnetic field provided and magnetic source generate at this is equal in magnitude,
Direction on the contrary, offset therewith;The output of two first stage amplifiers is amplified by two level, using comparator, is obtained final
Export Vout3.The former magnetic field signal detected at two pairs of mistors due to that can detect tested magnetic source magnetic field is of different sizes
Two feedback coils provide feedback current it is of different sizes.
Feedback electricity is connected separately in the first order feed-back amplifying circuit of two groups of Wheatstone bridges between amplifier and feedback coil
Hinder R9, R10.
As shown in figure 4, for the relative position schematic diagram of feedback coil and mistor, this sentences coil on mistor
For side, feedback coil may be alternatively located at mistor lower section or both sides in actual use, can generate and be parallel at mistor
The magnetic field of sensitive axis direction.
As shown in figure 5, under working condition, the magnetic field 2 that magnetic source 1 generates, the magnetic that the mistor closer from magnetic source is experienced
Field intensity 3, is denoted as H1;From the magnetic field intensity 4 that the mistor of magnetic field intensity farther out is experienced, it is denoted as H2.By magnetic field intensity
Gradient is able to know that magnetic field intensity is stronger at the position closer from magnetic source, therefore can learn H1>H2, therefore when using phase
With the number of turns feedback coil when, be added in magnetic of the electric current than separate magnetic source of the feedback coil on the mistor closer from magnetic source
It is quick ohmically big.
As shown in fig. 6, to be applied with another feedback circuit structure schematic diagram, two groups of favour stones to the structure of embodiment 2
For the output signal that bridge circuit obtains respectively by first order feed-back amplifying circuit, the output of each amplifier feeds back to feedback completely
On coil, R9, R10 are two feedback resistances, and the output that feedback coil obtains amplifies to obtain output Vout by amplifier.
Two wheatstone bridge circuits of the present invention and two feedback circuits independently measure essence to improve
Degree, the position sequencing that resistance is placed in double bridge circuit, and and the mistor covered by soft magnetic materials and measurement
Line between resistance has strict requirements.It is anti-in feedback circuit.Feedback straight wire in feedback circuit is placed on corresponding
Bridge circuit resistance on, the selection of the feedback magnetic of formation feed resistance will not lead to amplifier overload, and will not bring dry
It disturbs opposite with the direction in the direction magnetic fields Ying Heyuan of the resistive field of noise.
