On the other hand, the first magnetosensitive element 11 does not detect a change in the bias magnetic field 16 due to the magnetic permeability of the magnetic pattern M.

Further, a second downstream yoke may be provided on the downstream side of the second permanent magnet 15 in the transport direction X1. If these yokes are provided, the bias magnetic fields 4 and 16 generated by the permanent magnets 5 and 15 are prevented from spreading more than necessary. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the first magnetosensitive element 11, the second magnetosensitive element 12, and the third magnetosensitive element from detecting a change in the magnetic field caused by the movement of a magnetic material different from the magnetic pattern M. Moreover, it can prevent or suppress that the 1st magneto-sensitive element 11, the 2nd magneto-sensitive element 12, and the 3rd magneto-sensitive element 13 are influenced from the magnetic field outside the sensor part 1B.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de capteur magnétique qui peut déterminer si un motif magnétique appliqué à un support est un matériau magnétique dur ou un matériau magnétique doux. De façon précise, le dispositif de détecteur magnétique (20) est pourvu d'une unité de capteur (1) destinée à détecter un motif magnétique (M) sur un support (3) transporté le long d'une surface de transport (2). L'unité de capteur (1) est équipée d'un aimant permanent (5) destiné à appliquer un champ magnétique de polarisation (4), d'une culasse côté aval (6) disposée côté aval de l'aimant permanent (5), d'un premier élément magnéto-sensitif (11) disposé dans une première position (A) qui est à l'opposé de la culasse côté aval (6) mais pas à l'opposé de l'aimant permanent (5) dans une direction perpendiculaire (Z) coupant perpendiculairement la surface de transport (2), et d'un second élément magnéto-sensitif (12) disposé dans une seconde position (B) qui est à l'opposé de l'aimant permanent (5) dans la direction perpendiculaire (Z). Le premier élément magnéto-sensitif (11) détecte seulement des changements dans le champ magnétique de polarisation (4) pouvant être attribués à la densité de flux magnétique résiduelle du motif magnétique (M) (matériau magnétique dur), et, par conséquent, il est possible de déterminer si le motif magnétique (M) appliqué sur le support (3) est un matériau magnétique dur ou un matériau magnétique doux.
