Description

  The present invention relates to a magnetic rotation detection device for detecting an angular position, a rotation speed, and the like of a rotating body.

Among the rotation detectors, there are two types of non-contact type: optical type and magnetic type. The magnetic type rotation detection device has more dust and moisture than the optical type rotation detection device. There is an advantage that it can be used in an environment or in a liquid. That is, a magnetic rotation detection device generally includes a magnet body in which a magnetic pole pair composed of an S pole and an N pole is formed, and a magnetosensitive element that detects an angular position and a rotation speed when the magnet body rotates. Even if dust or moisture adheres to the magnet body, the sensitivity does not decrease. In such a magnetic rotation detection device, for example, a plurality of magnetic pole pairs composed of an S pole and an N pole are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the magnet body, and a magnetosensitive element is disposed at a position facing the outer peripheral surface of the magnet body. (See Patent Document 1).
JP 2008-151774 A

  However, in the device described in Patent Document 1, since the number of magnetization poles is the output pulse (resolution) as it is, when the resolution is increased, the magnet body and the magnetosensitive element are arranged close to, for example, about several tens of μm. There is a need to. Therefore, the conventional magnetic rotation detecting device cannot protect the magnetic sensitive element from dust, moisture, etc., and has a problem of low environmental resistance.

  In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a magnetic rotation detection device that can protect a magnetosensitive element from dust, moisture, and the like without reducing resolution.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, in the present invention, a magnetic rotation having a magnetic pole pair composed of an S pole and an N pole and having a magnet body provided on the rotating body side and a magnetosensitive element facing the magnet body.

  In the present invention, the magnet body preferably includes a pair of S poles and N poles.

  In the present invention, the number of magnetic pole pairs formed in the magnet body is reduced. Instead, for example, interpolation processing is performed on the signal obtained by the magnetosensitive element to obtain a zero cross point to ensure resolution. To do. According to such a configuration, the number of magnetic pole pairs formed on the magnet body is reduced to a minimum of one pair, so that sufficient sensitivity can be obtained even if the magnet body and the magnetosensitive element are somewhat separated.

A notch is formed, and a second groove portion is formed between the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion and the inner peripheral surface of the notch, and communicates with the first groove portion and opens toward the rotation center axis direction. It is preferable that the sealing agent is applied also in the second groove portion. If comprised in this way, the structure which apply | coated the sealing agent in the continuous groove part also including the part in which the cylinder part is formed is employable between the 1st case body and the 2nd case body. Therefore, intrusion of dust and moisture from the side plate portions of the first case body and the second case body can be effectively prevented.

  In the present invention, the number of magnetic pole pairs formed in the magnet body is reduced. Instead, for example, interpolation processing is performed on the signal obtained by the magnetosensitive element to obtain a zero cross point to ensure resolution. To do. According to such a configuration, the number of magnetic pole pairs formed on the magnet body is reduced to a minimum of one pair, so that sufficient sensitivity can be obtained even if the magnet body and the magnetosensitive element are somewhat separated. Therefore, a partition wall can be provided between the magnet body and the magnetosensitive element. In the present invention, the first case body having the partition wall and the second case body cover the magnetosensitive element, and surround the first case body and the second case body around the magnetosensitive element.

An arithmetic circuit 482 (interpolation circuit) that obtains a zero cross point by performing interpolation processing or the like on the sine wave signals sin and cos and an output interface 483 are provided. This is done via a female connector 48 mounted on the cable.

(Configuration of circuit unit)
1 (a), (b), FIG. 2 (a), FIG. 3 (a), (b), FIG. 4, and FIG. The 30 case 33 includes a resin-made first case body 31 positioned on the magnet body 20 side with respect to the substrate 40 and a resin-made second case positioned on the opposite side of the substrate 40 from the magnet body 20 side. The first case body 31 constitutes a partition member that is interposed between the magnet body 20 and the magnetic sensitive element 42.

  The first case body 31 includes a substantially rectangular plate-shaped portion 315 and three side plate portions 316 that stand up toward the second case body 32 at positions corresponding to the three sides of the plate-shaped portion 315. The concave portion 315 is formed with a circular recess 318 that is recessed from the substrate receiving portion 315a side toward the outer surface side where the magnet body 20 is located. The first case body 31 is a resin molded product, and the bottom 318 a of the recess 318 is thinner than the portion of the plate-like portion 315 other than the recess 318. On the inner surface of the plate-like portion 315, a portion surrounding the recess 318 is a substrate receiving portion 315a to which the substrate 40 is fixed. The substrate 40 is fixed in a flat state to the substrate receiving portion 315a.

  The substrate 40 has a magnetosensitive element 42 mounted at the approximate center of the surface facing the magnet body 20 (see FIGS. 4 and 5). A semiconductor IC 46 and a female connector 48 constituting a rotation detection circuit are mounted on the back surface side of the substrate 40, and the female connector 48 is in the vicinity of a side of the plate-like portion 315 where the side plate portion 316 is not formed. Has been implemented.

  In the first case 31 configured as described above, when the substrate 40 is stacked on the substrate receiving portion 315a in a flat state, the magnetosensitive element 42 is disposed in the recess 318, and the bottom 318a of the recess 318 is connected to the magnetosensitive element 42. It functions as a partition part interposed between the magnet bodies 20. In this state, the magnetosensitive element 42 is not in contact with the bottom 318a of the recess 318 (see FIG. 2A).

  In the first case body 31, a circular annular groove 319 is formed on the outer surface side of the plate-like portion 315 where the magnet body 20 is located so as to surround the bottom portion 318 a of the recess 318 as shown in FIG. The end of the annular ring 15 is fitted in the annular groove 319 and fixed by a method such as adhesion. Only the end of the ring 15 opposite to the side where the magnet body 20 is located (the side where the magnetic sensing element 42 is located) is fitted in the annular groove 319, and the opposite end is the bottom of the recess 318. It protrudes to the side where the magnet body 20 is located from 318a (see FIG. 3). Moreover, the inner diameter of the ring 15 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the magnet body 20. The permanent magnet 25 and the flange portion 213 of the magnet body 20 are located inside the ring 15 configured as described above, and in this state, the ring 15 is disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the magnet body 20 in the radial direction outside via a gap. Opposite states.

  The ring 15 is made of a magnetic material and has a function of performing a magnetic shield on the magnet body 20. Further, in the magnetic rotation detection device 10 of the present embodiment, the centers of the magnet body 20 and the magnetosensitive element 42 are aligned with the ring 15 as a reference, as will be described later. For this reason, the center of the magnetosensitive element 42 is located on the center axis of the ring 15, and the center of the magnet body 20 is located on the center axis of the ring 15.

  The second case body 32 has a substantially rectangular plate-like portion 325 facing the plate-like portion 315 of the first case body 31 and a side plate portion 316 of the first case body 31 at a position corresponding to three sides of the plate-like portion 325. Three side plate portions 326 that stand up toward each other, and in the first case body 31 and the second case body 32, the sides on which the side plate portions 316 and 326 are formed coincide with each other. For this reason, when the second case body 32 is put on the first case body 31, the side plate portions 316 and 326 overlap each other, but the position corresponding to one side of the four sides opens to the outside. It becomes. Therefore, since the female connector 48 is exposed to the outside, the male connector 49 can be coupled to the female connector 48. In the second case body 32, the plate-like portion 325 has a protrusion 325c that presses the substrate 40 against the substrate receiving portion 315a.

(Waterproof structure for the magnetic sensitive element 42)
When the first case body 31 and the second case body 32 thus configured overlap, the side plate portion 316 of the first case body 31 covers the outer surface of the side plate portion 326 of the second case body 32. When the side plate portions 316 and 326 are joined to each other using the overlap, the side plate portion 326 of the second case body 32 is directed to the first case body 31 from the inner peripheral side of the thick portion 326c formed of the root portion. The thin portion 326d extends, and the width dimension of the thin portion 326d is slightly wider than the portion overlapping the side plate portion 316 of the first case body 31. Therefore, when the first case body 31 and the second case body 32 are overlapped, the thick portion 326c and the thin wall portion 326 are interposed between the side plate portion 316 of the first case body 31 and the side plate portion 326 of the second case body 32. A first groove portion 36 is formed between the step portion 326 a with the portion 326 d and the leading edge of the side plate portion 316 of the first case body 31. The first groove portion 36 is formed in a continuous state over all of the three side plate portions 316 and 326 of the first case body 31 and the second case body 32. Therefore, in this embodiment, the sealing agent 35 is applied to the entire first groove portion 36 formed over the three side plate portions 316 and 326 and then solidified to prevent water from entering the case 33. In addition, in the part in which the female connector 48 is located, the space between the first case body 31 and the second case body 32 is greatly opened, but before or after the male connector 49 is coupled to the female connector 48, If the sealing agent 35 is applied and solidified on such a portion, water can be prevented from entering the case 33. Although there is no limitation about the material of the sealing agent 35, a silicone resin etc. can be used.

  A small projection 326e (see FIG. 4) for fixing is formed on the side plate portion 326 of the second case body 32, while the small projection 326e is fitted on the plate-like portion 315 of the first case body 31. A small hole 315e (see FIG. 5) is formed at the bottom. Therefore, when the small protrusion 326e of the second case body 32 is fitted into the small hole 315e of the first case body 31, the first case body 31 and the second case body 32 can be coupled.

(Positioning structure using spacers)
In the magnetic rotation detection device 10 configured as described above, the case 33 of the circuit unit 30 is fixed to the motor case 27 via the spacer 50 having a rectangular parallelepiped shape. That is, the spacer 50 is fixed to the end surface of the motor case 27 by the two bolts 59 as the fastening members at the diagonal position, and the case 33 is fixed to the end surface of the spacer 50 by the two bolts 39 at the diagonal position. Has been. In performing such fastening, if a cylindrical portion through which the bolt 59 is passed is formed in both the first case body 31 and the second case body 32, the sealing performance at the joint portion is lowered. Therefore, in this embodiment, of the first case body 31 and the second case body 32, only the second case body 32 is formed with two cylindrical portions 328 through which the shaft portion of the bolt 39 passes continuously from the side plate portion 326. ing. Further, in this embodiment, for the purpose of preventing water from entering the case 33 from around the cylindrical portion 328, the plate-like portion 315 of the first case body 31 has a circular shape so as to avoid the cylindrical portion 328. An arcuate notch 317 is formed. When the first case body 31 and the second case body 32 overlap, the magnet body 20 is located between the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 328 and the inner peripheral surface of the notch 317 in the rotation center axis L direction. A second groove portion 37 is formed that opens toward the positioned side. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the sealing agent 35 is applied to the first groove portion 36, the sealing agent 35 is also applied to the second groove portion 37. Here, the 1st groove part 36 and the 2nd groove part 37 comprise the groove part which was connected and continued. For this reason, in the case 33, the entire circumference except for the portion where the female connector 48 is disposed is sealed with the sealing agent 35.

  Although the outer shape of the spacer 50 used in this embodiment is a rectangular parallelepiped shape, a circular through hole 51 opened in the direction of the rotation center axis L of the rotating shaft 22 is formed, and the magnet body 20 is placed in the through hole 51. To position. The inner diameter dimension of the through hole 51 is larger than the outer diameter dimension of the flange portion 213 of the magnet body 20, and an annular gap is formed between the inner peripheral surface of the through hole 51 and the outer peripheral surface of the magnet body 20. Is formed. The end of the ring 15 is inserted into the gap. The outer diameter of the ring 15 is substantially the same as the inner diameter of the through hole 51, and the ring 15 is in a state of being fitted in the through hole 51. In this state, a gap is interposed between the outer peripheral surface of the flange portion 213 of the magnet body 20 and the inner peripheral surface of the ring 15. In this way, the ring 15 is positioned in the radial direction with respect to the spacer 50.

(Manufacturing method of magnetic rotation detector 10)
FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing a method for manufacturing the magnetic rotation detection device 10 of the present embodiment. In order to manufacture the magnetic rotation detection device 10 of this embodiment, first, the ring 15 is fixed to the first case body 31 before being coupled to the second case body 32 in the first alignment step. After aligning the ring 15 and the magnetosensitive element 42 so that the center of the magnetosensitive element 42 is positioned on the center axis of the substrate 40, the substrate 40 is fixed to the first case body 31. More specifically, for example, the ring 15 and the substrate 40 are held by each of the two robot hands, the positions thereof are adjusted, and then the substrate 40 is fixed to the first case body 31. At this time, the substrate 40 is temporarily bonded to the first case body 31 using a quick-drying adhesive such as a UV adhesive, and then the substrate 40 is bonded to the first case body 31 using an adhesive made of a thermosetting resin. Adhere. Thereafter, the first case body 31 is covered with the second case body 32, and the small groove 315e of the second case body 32 is fitted into the small hole 315e of the first case body 31 and fixed. After the sealing agent 35 is applied to the groove portion 37, it is solidified and the case 33 is sealed.

  Next, in the second alignment step, the ring 15 and the magnet body 20 are aligned so that the center of the magnet body 20 is positioned on the center axis of the ring 15. First, as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6E, after the rotating shaft 22 of the motor 2 is fitted in the hole formed in the end portion of the shaft portion 211 of the magnet holder 21, the shaft portion 211 A set screw 219 is fitted into a hole formed in the peripheral surface from the side to restrict movement in the rotation direction, and the magnet body 20 is fixed to the rotating shaft 22. Next, as shown in FIGS. 6B and 6E, the spacer 50 is disposed on the end surface of the motor case 27 so that the magnet body 20 enters the through hole 51 of the spacer 50 (first operation).

  Next, as shown in FIGS. 6C and 6E, the cylindrical portion 61 of the jig 60 is inserted between the inner wall of the through hole 51 of the spacer 50 and the outer peripheral surface of the magnet body 20, and the jig 60 is interposed therebetween. The spacer 50 and the magnet body 20 are aligned (second operation). That is, the jig 60 includes a cylindrical portion 61 having a constant thickness in the circumferential direction, and the inner diameter of the cylindrical portion 61 is substantially the same as the outer dimensions of the flange portion 213 of the magnet body 20 and the permanent magnet 25. The inner diameter of the through hole 51 of the spacer 50 is substantially the same. Therefore, in the state shown in FIGS. 6C and 6E, the through hole 51 of the spacer 50, the flange portion 213 of the magnet body 20, and the permanent magnet 25 are arranged concentrically.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 6D, after fixing the spacer 50 to the motor case 27 with the bolt 59, the jig 60 is removed (third operation).

  After that, after inserting the ring 15 of the circuit unit 30 assembled in the state shown in FIG. 3B into the through hole 51 of the spacer 50, the case 33 of the circuit unit 30 is fixed to the spacer 50 with the bolt 39. (Fourth operation). As a result, the magnetic rotation detection device 10 is assembled in a state where the ring 15 and the magnet body 20 are aligned so that the center of the magnet body 20 is positioned on the center axis of the ring 15.

(Main effects of this form)
As described above, in the magnetic rotation detection device 10 of this embodiment, the number of magnetic pole pairs formed in the magnet body 20 is reduced, and instead, for example, interpolation processing is performed on the signal obtained by the magnetosensitive element 42. To ensure resolution by performing arithmetic processing such as finding the zero cross point. According to such a configuration, the number of magnetic pole pairs formed on the magnet body 20 is reduced to a minimum of one pair, so that sufficient sensitivity can be obtained even if the magnet body 20 and the magnetosensitive element 42 are somewhat separated. Moreover, since the magnet body 20 and the magnetosensitive element 42 are opposed to each other in the direction of the rotation center axis L of the rotary shaft 22, even if the magnet body 20 and the magnetosensitive element 42 are somewhat separated from each other, the magnetosensitive element A sine wave signal with little waveform distortion can be obtained via the line 42. Therefore, a partition wall (the bottom 318 a of the recess 318 of the first case body 31) can be provided between the magnet body 20 and the magnetic sensing element 42. In the present invention, the first case body 31 and the second case body 32 cover the magnetosensitive element 42, and the first case body 31 and the second case body 32 are surrounded around the magnetosensitive element 42. The sealing agent 35 is applied to the joint portion. For this reason, case 33 can be made into a waterproof structure, and magnetic sensing element 42 can be reliably protected from water.

  The partition wall is a bottom 318a of a recess 318 that is recessed toward the side where the magnet body 20 is located in the plate-like portion, and the magnetosensitive element 42 is disposed in the recess 318. For this reason, although there is a limit in making the whole plate-shaped part 315 thin in the 1st case body 31, the magnetosensitive element 42 and the magnet body 20 can be made to approach. The substrate 40 on which the magnetosensitive element 42 is mounted is disposed so as to overlap the substrate receiving portion 315a formed around the recess 318 in the plate-like portion 315, and the magnetosensitive element 42 is connected to the bottom 318a of the recess 318. There is a gap between them. For this reason, the magnetic sensitive element 42 can be arrange | positioned in a non-contact state to the partition (bottom part 318a of the recessed part 318). Therefore, even when the magnetosensitive element 42 and the magnet body 20 are brought close to each other, no extra stress is applied to the magnetosensitive element 42, so that the magnetosensitive element 42 exhibits high sensitivity.

  Further, since the space between the first case body 31 and the second case body 32 is sealed with the sealing agent 35 applied between them, the side plate portions 316 of the first case body 31 and the second case body 32 are used. 326 can be effectively prevented from entering water. Moreover, the sealing agent 35 is applied to the inside of the first groove portion 36 and the second groove portion 37. Moreover, the 1st groove part 36 and the 2nd groove part 37 comprise the groove part which was connected and continued. For this reason, in the case 33, the entire circumference except for the portion where the female connector 48 is disposed is sealed with the sealing agent 35, so that the entry of water can be reliably prevented.

  Further, in the magnetic rotation detection device 10 of the present embodiment, the ring 15 is fixed to the plate-like portion 315 of the first case body 31 interposed as a partition member between the magnet body 20 and the magnetic sensing element 42, and the ring 15 The positions of the magnet body 20 and the magnetosensitive element 42 are determined based on the above. That is, in the method of manufacturing the magnetic rotation detection device 10, the position of the magnetic sensing element 42 on the first case 33 is determined with reference to the ring 15, and the spacer 15 and the jig 60 are used to sense the ring 15 as a reference. The positions of the magnetic element 42 and the magnet body 20 are determined. Therefore, since the positional accuracy between the magnetosensitive element 42 and the magnet body 20 is high, the magnetosensitive element 42 can detect the rotation of the magnet body 20 with high sensitivity.

  Further, when the ring 15 is fixed to the first case body 31, the ring 15 is fitted in the annular groove 319 surrounding the recess 318, so that the ring 15 is securely fixed to a predetermined position of the first case body 31. can do.

  Further, since the ring 15 functions as a magnetic shield part for the magnet body 20, it is possible to perform magnetic shielding without using a dedicated shield member, and the magnetosensitive element 42 rotates the magnet body 20 with high sensitivity. Can be detected.
