Definitions
- Position sensor in particular for determining the position of a rotor of a planar direct drive
- the invention relates to a position sensor, in particular for determining the position of a rotor of a planar direct drive.
- Planar direct drives also referred to as planar motor
- planar motor are known from the prior art.
- planar direct drive with a planar passive unit with magnetizable teeth and an active unit with coils for generating a variable magnetic flux is described.
- Position sensors according to the field of the invention are used in linear and planar direct drives for determining the position of the rotor with respect to the tooth structure of the stator.
- DE 195 13 325 A1 discloses a Hall sensor displacement measuring device, in particular for planar fine positioning in the ⁇ range.
- a disadvantage of this displacement measuring device is that the hysteresis is relatively large.
- Another disadvantage is the dependence of the sensor signals on the speed of the rotor movement.
- the position sensor comprises two multi-part U-shaped magnetic conductors, wherein teeth are formed on the poles of the iron cores of each magnetic conductor and the difference of group coordination of the teeth is (a ⁇ 0.5) Z (a is any integer, Z period of the arrangement the teeth).
- One of the parts of the U-shaped magnetic conductor has a permanent net connected in series.
- Magnetic induction transducers are constructively or magnetically mounted in proximity to a pair of like magnetic poles of the iron cores of a pair of U-shaped magnetic conductors such that the output of the transducers is directly proportional to the difference in magnetomotive force of those magnetic poles.
- a disadvantage of this position sensor is that the north-south pole of the permanent magnet extends transversely between the teeth of the magnetic conductor, whereby the magnetic flux always passes through two poles. As a result, the generated sensor signal is relatively weak and also sensitive to magnetic interference fields.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a position sensor which provides a stronger sensor signal and is relatively insensitive to magnetic interference fields.
- the position sensor according to the invention comprises a trough-shaped or box-shaped main body made of a soft magnetic material.
- at least one permanent magnet is arranged such that its north-south pole axis is perpendicular to an open base of the body.
- Poles with a tooth structure are arranged on this permanent magnet in two rows parallel to the measuring direction, the tooth flanks of the tooth structure extending parallel to a plane enclosing the north-south pole axis of the permanent magnet.
- sensors for determining the field strength and / or the magnetic flux are sensors for determining the field strength and / or the magnetic flux.
- the main body which may be formed in one or more parts, serves in addition to its function as a transmitter housing as a magnetic shield and thus ensures the magnetic and electromagnetic shielding of the poles and the sensors.
- the shielding function of the main body ensures that the magnetic fields of the drive have only a negligible influence on the measuring signals of the sensors.
- a constant bias for the used stator section is achieved by the main body. As a result, premagnetization-induced disturbances of the measurement signals are largely prevented.
- the encoder comprises six poles.
- the tooth structure of the poles located in a first row are each offset by a quarter period and the tooth structure of the poles arranged in a second row is offset in each case by half a period with respect to the first row.
- a permanent magnet which is preferably formed as a magnetic plate can be used.
- representation it is also possible to use, for example, six permanent magnets distributed regularly on the base body. The magnetic plate and the individual permanent magnets occupy the same space.
- the position sensor is formed with eight poles.
- the tooth structure of a second pole located in a first row is offset by 0.5 period
- the tooth structure of a third pole located in a first row is offset by 0.25 period
- the tooth structure of one in a first row fourth pole is offset by 0.75 period
- the tooth structure of the arranged in a second row poles with respect to the first row is offset by half a period.
- a magnetic plate designed as a permanent magnet can be used.
- the use of eight permanent magnets is possible.
- the position sensor on a plate made of a soft magnetic material.
- the soft magnetic plate close the magnetic circuits, consisting of the permanent magnets, the poles and the box-shaped body.
- the soft magnetic plate is a stator section having a tooth structure. It has proved to be advantageous if the period of the tooth structure of the individual poles corresponds to the period of the tooth structure of the stator.
- Fig. 1 an encoder according to the invention in a view from above
- Fig. 2 the encoder according to the invention in a sectional view taken along a line AA in Fig. 1;
- FIG. 3 shows the encoder according to the invention in a sectional view along a
- An encoder comprises a trough-shaped or box-shaped, soft-magnetic basic body 01.
- the main body 01 is constructed in one or more parts and encloses the sensor on its side surfaces and the top surface.
- the base surface opposite the top surface remains at least partially open.
- a permanent magnet 02 in the form of a magnetic plate is arranged in the embodiment shown here.
- a plurality of individual permanent magnets 02 can be used.
- the individual magnets and the magnetic plate occupy substantially the same space.
- On the permanent magnet 02 in each case three poles 03 are arranged in two rows parallel to the measuring direction. Of course, another number of poles is also possible. For example, the arrangement of a total of eight poles 03 has proved to be advantageous.
- the poles 03 have a tooth structure 04.
- the tooth flanks of the tooth structure 04 run parallel to a north-south pole axis of the permanent magnet 02 enclosing plane.
- the tooth structure 04 of the poles 03 located in a first row is offset by a quarter period in each case.
- the tooth structure 04 of the poles 03 arranged in a second row is in each case offset by half a period with respect to the first row.
- poles 03 sensors 05 are arranged, which serve to determine the field strength and / or the magnetic flux.
- magnetoresistive sensors or Hall sensors can be used as sensors.
- the encoder according to the invention is arranged on a soft-magnetic plate (not shown), a total of six magnetic circuits consisting of the permanent magnet 02, the poles 03 and the main body 01 are closed in the illustrated embodiment. Because of the north-south pole axis of the permanent magnet 02, which is perpendicular to the running surface of the drive, the field lines of each circle run only through one pole 03 of the encoder.
- the main body 01 serves not only as a transmitter housing, but at the same time provides magnetic and electromagnetic shielding of the poles 03 and the sensors 05.
- the main body 01 is magnetically substantially closed with the exception of the base area in which the tooth structure 04 of the poles lies ,
- the main body 01 ensures a uniform, constant magnetization of the running surface of the drive in the region covered by the encoder.
- the tread is a stator section.
- the stator section has a tooth structure.
- the period of the tooth structure 04 of the individual poles 03 corresponds to the period of the tooth structure of the stator section.
- the encoder according to the invention can be attached to the rotor of the direct drive or integrated in this.
- the poles of the transmitter are then preferably in a plane with the pole teeth of the rotor.
