Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable detection of rotational speed and direction of rotation, by varying an array pattern in the normal and reverse direction of sensing and non-sensing sections formed on the side of a rotor to differentiate an output pulse from a sensor between the normal and reverse rotations. CONSTITUTION:A metal gear 1 as rotor is formed with a tooth facing a sensor 3 being the first and with third, n-1th and (n)th (11th and 12nd) teeth lacking. Thus, the way an output pulse is emanated from a waveform converter 4 connected to the sensor 3 is differentiated between the normal and reverse rotations. The direction of rotation is judged from variation in the emanating of the output pulse. The rotational speed also can be determined from the number of output pulses per unit time.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a detector used for detecting the rotational speed and rotational direction of a wheel or the like of a vehicle.

[Prior Art] A typical example of a well-known rotational speed detector is a magnetic gear detector. This detector consists of, for example, a metal gear attached to the axle and a magnetic sensor placed close to the teeth of the gear, and detects the induced electromotive force generated in the magnetic sensor or the resistance change of the magnetic resistance element due to the rotation of the gear. The rotational speed of the wheel that rotates integrally with the gear is determined from the number of detections per unit time.

This invention provides sensing and non-sensing parts of a rotor that rotates integrally with the object to be measured using a non-contact sensor, for example, in a metal gear rotor, the arrangement pattern of teeth and tooth spaces in the forward and reverse directions is irregular. This achieves the above objective by making the output signal patterns different during forward rotation and reverse rotation.

As described above, the detector of the present invention corrects the way the output pulses are output from the sensor by changing the arrangement pattern of the sensing part and the non-sensing part formed on the rotor side in the forward and reverse directions. Since the rotating speed and the rotating direction are different, both the rotational speed and the rotational direction can be detected, which has the effect of widening the range of uses. An example of an application is a car navigation system that uses a magnetic direction sensor and wheel speed detector to determine its own location on a map.If there is an abnormality in the magnetic direction sensor, it becomes difficult to determine the current location. In such cases, one possible use would be to judge whether to move forward or backward to reduce positional deviations.
