Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device and method for an analog position sensor with variable reluctance. It applies in particular, but not exclusively, to devices able to measure an air gap variation between a ferromagnetic target and a sensor, the ferromagnetic target moving linearly or rotatably in front of the sensor.
- the invention consists of a rotary or linear sensor without contact making it possible to obtain a very linear induction variation and with maximum sensitivity. It can find a very particular application in the measurement of the level of a liquid in a tank, the target being placed inside the tank containing the liquid and the magnet being located outside, thus measuring the position of the target through the walls of the tank.
- the measurement position delivering a signal equal to zero Gauss indeed corresponds to the point of highest stability and sensitivity.
- a temperature compensation device is necessary to compensate for the reversible change in the magnetic properties of the magnet. The variation in sensitivity of the sensor as a function of the temperature must be compensated, but the compensation applied cannot be perfect and the influence of these compensation errors will be lower the smaller the measured induction.
- a position sensor comprising a stator defining an air gap 1 inside which moves a movable magnet secured to a coupling means.
- the sensor includes a Hall probe measuring the variation of the induction in the air gap.
- the stator is constituted by a first fixed part and a second part which is either fixed or mobile, the two parts defining between them a main air gap in which the part of the mobile member moves.
- the movable member has at least two adjacent thin parts magnetized transversely in an alternating direction, the magnetized parts being made of a material having throughout the working range a practically linear demagnetization characteristic and a reversible permeability close to that of air.
- the fixed part has at least two secondary air gaps substantially perpendicular to the main air gap in which the movable member moves.

- US Pat. No. 4,785,242 is known in the prior art which describes an angular sensor solution having a rotor of variable cross section ensuring a transfer function between the angular position and the output signal. On the other hand, it does not disclose the characteristic that the Hall probe is housed in a cavity of the permanent magnet.
- Patent application DE 19503075 describes a mechanical arrangement for positioning the probe. This patent application in no way discloses an analog position sensor with variable reluctance seeking to create a zero Gauss.
- part of the field lines flow through the cavity leading to a "negative” field while the other part of the field lines flows outside the magnet leading to a "positive” field, between these two fields is the zero point Gauss. Thanks to zero gauss, we get:
- the invention therefore more particularly aims to eliminate this gap.
- an analog position sensor with variable reluctance intended to determine the position variation of a target, comprising a target, made of a ferromagnetic material and at least one magnet, the target and the magnet defining between them an air gap, the device further comprising a magneto-sensitive element detecting the variation of induction caused in the air gap by the relative displacement of the target with respect to the magnet characterized in that the magnet is magnetized in a direction substantially perpendicular to the front surface of the magnet delimiting an edge of the air gap, said magnet having a cavity s Opening on said front surface of the magnet, the magneto-sensitive element being housed in said cavity, the target having a geometrical configuration determined so that the variation in induction as a function of said position of the target corresponds to a predefined function.
- the invention therefore makes it possible to very simply manufacture both linear and rotary sensors allowing excellent linearity and maximum strokes close to 360 ° for rotary sensors with an average, or initial, induction to be measured. close to zero Gauss.
- the device according to the invention has a significantly lower manufacturing cost and a wide variety of sensors with different target shapes or geometry, both for linear and rotary sensor applications.

- the target will be movable in rotation about an axis perpendicular to the axis of magnetization of said magnet. According to another possibility offered by the invention, the target will be able to rotate about an axis parallel to the axis of magnetization of said magnet.
- the plane in which the movement of the target takes place is included in a plane passing through the center of the magneto-sensitive element.
- the magneto-sensitive element will be housed in a cavity, or housing, of the magnet.

- the target may have any shape, that is to say that it will not need to be produced, or formed, by the process for producing a target according to the invention below.
- the magneto-sensitive element may have an average, or initial, induction close to zero Gauss.
- the present invention also relates to a method for producing a target, constituted by a ferromagnetic material, having a desired induction signal B, intended to be used in a magnetic sensor device for linear or rotary analog position comprising said target, a magnet associated with a magneto-sensitive element, characterized in that it comprises the following steps: - establishment of a first geometric shape for the above target, positioning of points on the target; these points having coordinates (x, y) in a plane, see spatial coordinates (x, y, z), - calculation of the magnetic induction signal B as a function of the linear or rotary displacement of the target; the displacement of the target being carried out on a predefined course, modification of the coordinates of one of the above points and re-calculation of the induction B according to the position of the target to determine the influence of this point on the induction B measured by the above magnet, determination of a matrix and resolution of an equation capable of defining the new geometric shape of the above first shape defined beforehand for the target, repetition of the above calculation,

- FIG. 17 represents a perspective view of the magnet installed on a T-shaped ferromagnetic pole piece in order to obtain a 0 Gauss position.
- One of the principles of the invention is to create a variation of analog induction of low average value, that is to say a few hundred Gauss, which consists of a function of the position, linear or angular, of a ferromagnetic part and which can be exploited by a magneto-sensitive element.
- magneticto-sensitive element such as for example a Hall probe
- the magnet 2 is a magnet having two poles, one of the poles being directed on the side of the air gap, on the surface of the magnet forming the edge of the air gap, the other pole being on the opposite side.
- the magnetization is oriented in a direction perpendicular to these two sides, in one direction or the other.
- the magnetization is perpendicular to the surface of the magnet facing the air gap.
- the variation in induction results from the variation in the air gap, that is to say the space between the section of the target 3 and the section of the magnet 1 facing each other.
- This variation results from the geometrical configuration of the target, determined by calculation or by experimentation so that the distance between the surface of the target and the magnet varies according to the relative position on the translation trajectory, according to a determined curve.
- the variation in induction results from the variation in the thickness of the target in the radial direction.
- the magneto-sensitive element 3 of the probe is ideally placed as close as possible to the "zero gauss" point 4, as illustrated in FIG. 15 for a substantially U-shaped configuration of the magnet 2. It will also be possible to design a magnet 2 bonded to a ferromagnetic part having a T shape as illustrated in Figure 17. In both cases, thanks to the shape of the magnet 2, it is possible to obtain a position inside the magnet such that the induction is relatively close to zero gauss.
- the value of the induction will be modified by the presence of the target and this modification will be directly linked to the air gap between the target and the magnet / magneto-sensitive element assembly.
- the displacement of the target 1 is made along an axis substantially perpendicular to the magnetization of the magnet 2.
- the profile of target 1 is obtained by coupling between magnetic simulation software and a mathematical shape optimization algorithm, by which the method of the invention is carried out.
- target 1 is not necessarily necessary, in fact it is possible to use a ferromagnetic target 1 of simple shape by combining magnet 2 with an “intelligent” probe, such as type HAL 855 - Micronas, which allows you to program the output signal in order to obtain any function, in particular linear depending on the displacement, the value table being previously stored in the probe.
- an “intelligent” probe such as type HAL 855 - Micronas
- this invention allows for a given target 1 to return a linear signal, but this invention also makes it possible to return any type of signal, it suffices for this to adapt the shape of target 1 to the desired output signal or more simply to program a “smart” probe, for example "MICRONAS HAL 855" type, with the appropriate function.
- the device according to the invention comprises a target 40 mm in length. Thanks to the process for producing a target with a suitable profile or shape, the result of the induction perceived by the magnet / magneto-sensitive element assembly when the target 1 is displaced in five points over a range of twenty millimeters, represented in FIG. 4, consists of a perfect straight line corresponding to an excellent linearity of the induction as a function of the displacement.
- the device of the invention comprises a target 1 having three spiral teeth 5, each arranged at an angle of 120 °, 20 millimeters in length.
- targets 1 having one, two or more than three spiral teeth 5, in order to obtain a particular induction.
- FIG. 6 are shown the results as for the induction of the magnet / magneto-sensitive element assembly, during the displacement of the target 1 at nine points over a range of 80 °.
- the magnet 2 and magneto-sensitive element 3 assembly is arranged opposite a ferromagnetic membrane 6 which can deform under the effect of a force 7 applied vertically with respect to said membrane 6.
- the force 7 applied therefore induces a deformation of said membrane 6 which then modifies the air gap between this membrane 6 and the magnet / magnetosensitive element assembly.
- This variation in air gap will produce a variation in induction at the level of the magneto-sensitive element 3 which could be linked to the force applied to the said membrane.
- This sensor can be used in particular in mass measurement applications for automobile seats.
- One of the aims of the present invention is to propose a ferromagnetic target 1 having a linear response to the induction of the magnet / magnetosensitive element assembly.
- the present invention provides a method capable of forming, or defining, the appropriate geometric shape of this target so as to obtain the said linear response.
- it is at present interesting and desirable in a number of applications to obtain a linearity of the induction however all other forms of this induction may be produced, up to curves, or plots, of very specific induction.
- a geometric shape is chosen for target 1 and the shape, or configuration, of the target is defined outside, that is to say facing the magnet / magneto-sense element, through a "spline" function passing through n points p defined by their coordinates (x, y).
- the shape of the profile of the target 1 facing the magnet / magneto-sensitive element assembly will ideally be chosen initially to best approach, according to those skilled in the art, the final shape of said profile.
- the induction perceived by the magneto-sensitive element of the device according to the invention is simulated for k positions (k> 1), linear or angular, of the target. Using these k values, a functional of the following type is defined:
- This functional allows to quantify the difference between the simulated induction values I (x k , p) and a function f (x) ⁇ _ ue we wish to obtain.
- the following step makes it possible to quantify the influence of the n points of target 1 on the induction perceived by the magneto-sensitive element 3 for the k positions of the aforementioned target 1.
- Each of the n points of target 1 is modified and the calculation of the induction perceived by the magneto-sensitive element 3 is carried out again with this new target 1 for the k positions, linear or angular, of the target 1.
- a matrix A of dimensions k is obtained * (n + 1) defined with the k induction values simulated by the (n + 1) targets 1. It remains to solve the equation below to find the vector d (n components) which corresponds to the deformation at apply to the target to move towards the chosen output signal.
