Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that it has been impossible to detect the accurate angle of rotation since the output characteristics of a Hall IC 6 varies when an external magnetism is provided from outside an apparatus for detecting the angle of rotation and the external magnetism crosses a core 2 and the Hall IC 6. SOLUTION: By providing an external magnetism guiding magnetic path with a magnetic resistance lower than a magnetic resistance which passes the core 2 and the Hall IC 6 in the vicinity of the Hall IC 6, the external magnetism provided from the outside is prevented from passing the Hall IC 6. In addition, a magnet 4 arranged in a magnet arranging gap 3 is provided in a magnet shape in which magnetic short circuits do not occur. By this, in the case that the external magnetism is provided from outside the apparatus for detecting the angle of rotation, the external magnetism is guided to the outside by the external magnetism guiding magnetic path from one side of an external magnetism inductor 9 through the core 2 as shown in a broken line 10 to prevent the problem of the crossing of the external magnetism via the Hall IC 6.

When external magnetism (magnetism given from the outside of the rotation angle detecting device) is applied from a direction inclined with respect to the rotation axis of the rotation angle detecting device, as shown by a broken line J7 in FIG. In addition, the external magnetism crosses the core J6, and the output characteristics of the Hall IC J5 fluctuate, making it impossible to accurately detect the rotation angle.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, when the magnet arrangement gap is M 1 , the shortest gap between the yoke and the core is M 2 , and the magnetic detection gap is M 3 , M 1 2 > 2M 2 2 + M 3 2 It is provided so as to satisfy the expression. In the rotation angle detecting device thus provided, when external magnetism is applied from the direction orthogonal to the rotation axis, the external magnetism crosses the core J6 and the Hall IC is moved as shown by the broken line J8 in FIG.
The output characteristics of J5 change. In this case also, it becomes impossible to accurately detect the rotation angle due to fluctuations in the output characteristics of the Hall IC J5. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, when the magnet arrangement gap M 1 is made small and the external magnetism is attempted to escape to the outside through the yoke J 3, as shown by the broken line J 9, the short-circuit distance between both poles of the magnet J 2 becomes short, Figure 7
A short circuit of the magnetic flux shown by the solid line J10 occurs. As a result, the magnetic force applied to the yoke J3 is reduced and the detection accuracy is reduced, or the magnet J2 needs to be upsized to compensate for the reduction in magnetic force due to the short circuit of the magnetic flux.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, a rotation angle detecting device adopting the fifth aspect provides a shortest distance between divided yokes facing each other via a magnet so that an external magnetism given from the outside can be generated. Provided so as to lead from one of the divided yokes to the other of the divided yokes through a magnet,
By providing the magnet in a shape such that the magnetizing direction of the magnet is inclined with respect to the facing direction of the magnetic arrangement gap, the short-circuiting distance is extended and the short-circuiting of both poles of the magnet is suppressed. As a result, even if external magnetism is applied in a direction orthogonal to the rotation axis of the rotation angle detection device, the external magnetism does not cross the core through the magnetic detection element, and the output characteristics of the magnetic detection element are external. There is no problem of fluctuation due to magnetism. Therefore, the influence of the external magnetism is suppressed as compared with the conventional case, and the accurate rotation angle can be detected. Also,
Since the short-circuit distance between both poles of the magnet is long due to the inclined shape of the magnet, the short-circuit amount of the magnetic flux generated at both poles of the magnet is significantly reduced, and the reduction of the magnetic force generated at the yoke can be prevented. As a result, it is possible to solve the problem that the detection accuracy of the rotation angle detection device decreases, and it is not necessary to increase the size of the magnet to compensate for the decrease in magnetic force due to the short circuit of the magnetic flux.

The operation of the rotation angle detecting device having the above structure will be described. The rotation angle detecting device is arranged such that at a position where the magnet arrangement gap 3 and the magnetic detection gap 5 coincide with each other on a straight line (the position shown in FIG. 1, hereinafter, the rotation angle at this position is 0 °).
N pole of magnet 4 → One side of yoke 1 → One side of core 2 → Magnetic detection gap 5 → Other side of core 2 → Other side of yoke 1 → Magnet 4
A magnetic circuit in which a magnetic flux flows through the path of the S pole (hereinafter, the flow direction of the magnetic flux is a positive direction) is formed. Then, when the yoke 1 rotates together with the throttle valve, a part of the magnetic flux flows from the other side of the core 2 to the one side (opposite direction),
This cancels out the magnetic flux flowing in the positive direction in the magnetic detection gap 5. Therefore, in the magnetic detection gap 5, a magnetic flux amount (Φ 1 −Φ 2 ) corresponding to the difference between the magnetic flux amount Φ 1 flowing in the positive direction and the magnetic flux amount Φ 2 flowing in the opposite direction flows.
