Definitions
- the invention relates to a magnetoresistive sensor with a temperature-stable zero point, in particular a magnetoresistive angle sensor according to the preamble of the main claim.
- magnetoresistive sensors for the contactless detection of changes in state, for example for angle measurement on a rotatably mounted part.
- Such magnetoresistive sensors usually comprise magnetic field-dependent resistors which are connected in a bridge and through which a control current which is fed in on a diagonal of the bridge flows.
- Bridge voltage and the magnetic field direction is used in the non-contact AMR (anisotropy magneto resistance) - angle encoder used for data acquisition. So that an accurate measurement is possible at all, a zero point must first be defined or the sensor must be calibrated.
- a method for adjusting a magnetoresistive sensor is known, with which the offset error can be compensated.
- the magnetoresistive sensor which is constructed as a bridge circuit, is subjected to a homogeneous, defined magnetic field, and a defined control current is applied to the current contacts of the bridge circuit. The voltage then established at the other contacts is measured continuously, the magnetoresistive sensor being processed with the aid of a laser until the offset voltage becomes zero when the magnetic field is applied.
- the object of the present invention is to construct a magnetoresistive angle sensor with a temperature-stable zero point or to subject a conventional magnetoresistive sensor to an adjustment method which ensures that maximum temperature stability is achieved at the zero point.
- the sensor according to the invention with a temperature-stable zero point has the advantage that a conventional magnetoresistive sensor can be used and that nevertheless a temperature-stable zero point can be set without having to change the basic structure of the magnetoresistive sensor.
- This advantage is achieved by first searching for the suitable zero point of the magnetoresistive sensor. For this, z. B. in an angle sensor, the magnetoresistive sensor is exposed to a rotating magnetic field and the angle error, that is to say the difference between the measured angle and the actually existing angle, is determined. This angular deviation is determined at different temperatures, two different temperatures being sufficient. A comparison of the angular deviations measured at different temperatures shows that a particularly small angular deviation occurs for some reference angles. This is a property of magnetoresistive sensors that is reproducible and can also be confirmed by means of simulation. If an angle at which the angular deviation depends only slightly on the temperature is selected as the zero point angle, the desired temperature stability of the zero point is obtained.
- FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a magnetoresistive sensor which is known per se.
- the angle error is plotted as a function of the angle in FIG. 2, the values obtained being valid for one measurement.
- Figures 3 and 4 show further relationships from a simulation calculation.
- Figure 5 is the derivation of the angular error plotted against the angular position and
- FIG. 6 shows measured angular deviations plotted against the reference angle for different temperatures, the areas suitable as special angles being marked with minimal temperature dependence.
- FIG. 1 shows an example of a contactless magnetoresistive sensor with two AMR sensor elements (anisotropy magneto resistance) which are rotated relative to one another by 45 °
- Embodiment are constructed as resistance bridges, but could also be designed differently 10, 11.
- a current I is supplied to the AMR sensor elements 10, 11.
- Evaluation circuit 12 can be evaluated for angle measurement.
- a sensor as shown in FIG. 1 is used as a non-contact angle sensor, for example for measuring the throttle valve position or as a pedal value transmitter, it is necessary for the evaluation to ensure that the zero point position of the sensor is temperature stable.
- the control unit determines the zero point of the angle sensor at a specific temperature.
- the electronic zero point determined in this way should only change slightly with the temperature, since otherwise problems with the idle speed control or with a mechanical stop may occur.
- the reduction in temperature dependency at the zero point is achieved with conventional use of AMR sensors, for example, through complex wiring or through the use of special filters.
- another path is followed, which is based on the
- the special angle i.e. the angle that will later serve as the zero point angle
- the angular deviation is first determined at room temperature Tl, for this purpose the output voltage U ( ⁇ , t) measured as a function of the magnetic field direction, it being possible for example to measure over the entire 360 °.
- the sensor elements consist of magnetoresistive resistors, a higher current can be applied to the sensors or the sensor bridge by applying a higher current
- Temperature T2 can be heated. After this second temperature T2 has been reached, the angular deviation is determined again, the angular deviation being the size by which the magnetic field direction measured with the aid of the sensor differs from the actual one. Will the two
- Sensor housing is taken into account that one of the special angles obtained is used as the zero point. If necessary, the exact adjustment can be made by an electronic correction.
- the described method for determining a temperature-stable zero point position and the subsequent assembly of the sensor and the magnet to be scanned can, in principle, also result in a linear correction of the offset in a specific angular range, as a result of which the angular accuracy can be further increased.
- the method can also be extended to displacement measurements, in which case voltage curves of the output signal of the sensor at different temperatures must again be recorded and compared with one another to determine at least one special point with a low T dependence.
- ⁇ mechanical angle to be determined
- t temperature of the sensor in ° C, ß, ⁇ , ⁇ , AI, A2, 01, 02, ⁇ : exemplary
- U2 ( ⁇ , t) U20 (t) + U2d (t) * sin (2 ⁇ )
- U ( ⁇ , t) Ul ( ⁇ , t) + j * U2 ( ⁇ , t)
- the angle error is denoted by ⁇ ( ⁇ , t), it is the difference between the electrically measured angle and the double mechanical angle.
- Mechanical angle means the mechanical angle to be recorded, double mechanical angle since the voltages Ul ( ⁇ , t) and U2 ( ⁇ , t) depend on sin (2 ⁇ ) and cos (2 ⁇ ).
- 3 and 5 show the course of the angular error over the angle for different temperatures.
- FIG. 4 shows the relationship between U2 and Ul for different temperatures and
- FIG. 6 shows the derivation of the angular error
