- the magnetic flux density detector 10 is sandwiched between the permanent magnets 4 and 5.
- the magnetic flux density detecting unit 10 is constituted by, for example, a Hall element, and outputs a voltage corresponding to the magnetic flux density that changes as the permanent magnets 4 and 5 rotate relative to each other.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a rotation angle sensor having high-precision output performance without increasing costs. Disclosure of the invention

- the present invention it is possible to collect the magnetic flux between the permanent magnets near the center line of the magnet, set a high-resolution area where the sensor output with respect to the displacement of the magnetic flux density detecting section becomes steep, and detect the rotation angle sensor. Accuracy can be increased.
- each Hall element is not arranged on the rotation center line, but it is possible to take out the output voltage from each Hall element without error by optimizing the distribution of the magnetic flux density.

- FIGS. 1 and 2 show an example of a rotation angle sensor to which the present invention can be applied.
- This rotation angle sensor includes a case 1 and a rotation shaft 2 that rotate relative to each other, and a pair of Hall elements 7, 8 is fixed to a support 6 attached to the case 1, while a rotation shaft
- a pair of permanent magnets 4 and 5 are fixed to the rotor section 3 attached to 2. When the rotating shaft 2 rotates, the permanent magnets 4 and 5 rotate together with the rotor unit 3.
- the permanent magnets 4 and 5 have opposite poles opposite to each other on the rotor section 3 and are arranged symmetrically about the rotation center line A of the rotating shaft 2.
- the Hall elements 7 and 8 are also arranged symmetrically about the rotation center line A, and are sandwiched between the permanent magnets 4 and 5.
- the Hall elements 7 and 8 provided as the magnetic flux density detecting unit 10 output a voltage corresponding to the magnetic flux density that changes as the permanent magnets 4 and 5 rotate relative to each other via the electric wire 9 as a signal.
- the opposing magnetic pole faces 11 and 12 of the permanent magnets 4 and 5 are formed by being curved, so that the magnetic flux density is appropriately distributed between the permanent magnets 4 and 5.
- FIG. 3 is a plan view of the permanent magnets 4 and 5 viewed from the rotation axis direction.
- Opposing magnetic pole surfaces 11 and 12 of the permanent magnets 4 and 5 are formed so as to be concave and concave in FIG.
- the opposing magnetic pole faces 13 and 14 of the permanent magnets 4 and 5 are formed in a flat shape. Therefore, the cross-sectional area of the permanent magnets 4 and 5 in the magnetic pole direction decreases as the distance from the magnet center line B decreases. Then, the curvature of the magnetic pole faces 11 and 12 is set arbitrarily to make the magnetic flux density between the permanent magnets 4 and 5 uniform.
- the curvature between the pole faces 11 and 12 must be set appropriately because the distance between the concave pole faces 11 and 12 increases as it approaches the magnet center line B.
- the magnetic flux density generated between the permanent magnets 4 and 5 can be uniformly distributed as shown in FIG.
- the output change of the magnetic flux density detection unit 10 depends only on the change amount of the magnetic flux input angle, as shown in FIG.
- the relationship between the displacement (rotation angle) and the sensor output becomes linear, and the sensor output resolution can be kept constant over a wide rotation angle range. Even if an inexpensive ferrite magnet or the like is used, a uniform magnetic flux distribution can be obtained, so that it is not necessary to use an expensive rare earth magnet, and the cost of the product can be reduced.
- Hall elements 7 and 8 are not arranged on the rotation center line, it is possible to extract the output voltage from the Hall elements 7 and 8 without error by optimizing the distribution of the magnetic flux density passing through them. Become.
- the rotation characteristic of the rotation angle sensor is not linear in the entire region, but high resolution performance is exhibited in a part of the region.
- the opposing magnetic pole faces 11 and 12 of the permanent magnets 4 and 5 are formed so as to be convexly curved and expanded. In this case, the cross-sectional area of the permanent magnets 4 and 5 in the magnetic pole direction increases as the position approaches the magnet center line B.
- the magnetic flux density generated between the permanent magnets 4 and 5 approaches the magnet center line B. Therefore it will be higher. In this way, by collecting the magnetic flux near the magnet center line B, it is possible to expand the high resolution region where the sensor output with respect to the displacement of the magnetic flux density detector 10 has a steep slope as shown in FIG. In this high resolution range, the sensor output resolution with respect to displacement can be increased.
- the linear characteristics of the entire region of the displacement are reduced, the output change with respect to the displacement can be made large in some regions, so that a high resolution can be obtained.
- This rotation angle sensor is used for detecting a rotation angle of a rotating shaft or the like as an electric signal.
