图1是本揭露实施例提供的一种直线位移绝对位置编码器的整体结构示意图，该直线位移绝对位置编码器10可用于检测被测设备的位移，参见图1，该直线位移绝对位置编码器10包括：基座100、磁电阻传感器阵列300、编码带200和背磁铁(未示出)，其中，编码带200固定在基座100上并沿被测设备的轨道方向AA’延伸，编码带200是一条具有标识不同位置编码信息的凹部和凸起的磁性材料块；磁电阻传感器阵列300非接触地设置在编码带200和背磁铁之间；背磁铁用于在编码带200周围产生不均匀的磁场以为编码带200充磁；磁电阻传感器阵列300包括N行M列磁电阻传感器，其中N≥1，M≥1，且N和M为正整数(图1未示出磁电阻传感器的阵列排布结构)，磁电阻传感器阵列300用于通过检测编码带200的磁场信息获取编码带200的位置编码信息。
位置测量的一般性原理为：在整个测量行程范围内，放置代表位置的编码盘，且编码盘位置固定，再将传感器固定在运动部件上，即可检测运动部件的相对位移量。
本实施例中，具体的，编码带200采用磁性材料制成，在编码带200的不同位置处具有不同的凹部和凸起以形成位置编码信息，用于标识不同的位置。示例性的，参见图1，通过在编码带200的第一位置201和第二位置202处设置不同的凹部和凸起，可使第一位置201和第二位置202对应的位置编码信息不同。将编码带200固定于基座100上并沿被测设备的轨道方向延伸，即可利用编码带200标识被测设备移动方向上的不同位置。
示例性的，可以将磁电阻传感器阵列300和背磁铁安装在被测设备上，从而使磁电阻传感器阵列300以及背磁铁随着被测设备的移动而移动，在移动过程中，利用背磁铁在 编码带200的周围形成磁场，利用磁电阻传感器阵列300中的磁电阻传感器感测编码带200上的磁场分布。由于编码带200不同位置处具有不同的凹部和凸起，因此，编码带200不同位置处的磁场分布是不同的，而且是不均匀的，磁电阻传感器阵列300通过检测编码带200不同位置处的磁场分布情况即可获取对应位置处的位置编码信息，从而确定被测设备的位置。
示例性的，背磁铁可以采用永磁铁，编码带200可以采用软磁材料，具有凹部和凸起的软磁材料的成本更低，通过永磁铁磁化软磁铁材料，可以避免使用长距离的永磁体磁栅，从而节省成本。另外，永磁铁不受磁铁退磁的影响，可以使直线位移绝对位置编码器10具有较长的寿命。
需要说明的是，图1未示出编码带200的凹部和凸起结构，其作用是使背磁铁在编码带上施加的磁场由于不同位置处的凹部和凸起结构不通过而呈现出不同的分布状态，从而达到标识不同位置的目的，本领域技术人员可自行设定，本揭露实例对此不作限定。
还需要说明的是，图1及后续附图未示出背磁铁，可以理解的，在实际的产品中，背磁铁与编码带200具有凹部和凸起结构的表面相对设置。相应的，磁电阻传感器阵列300同样与编码带200具有凹部和凸起结构的表面相对设置，且磁电阻传感器阵列300与编码带200无接触，通过感测编码带200周围的磁场分布情况获取被测设备的位置信息。
本揭露实施例利用一条具有标识不同位置编码信息的凹部和凸起的磁性材料块形成编码带，并将编码带固定在基座上，使其沿被测设备的轨道方向延伸，将磁电阻传感器阵列非接触地设置在编码带和背磁铁之间，利用背磁铁在编码带周围产生不均匀的磁场，使磁电阻传感器阵列通过检测编码带的磁场信息获取编码带的位置编码信息。该方案采用背磁铁为编码带充磁的方式，实现了检测被测设备位移的目的，且大大降低了直线位移绝对位置编码器的成本。
图2是图1中编码带和磁电阻传感器阵列的一种结构示意图，在上述实施例的基础上，对编码带200和磁电阻传感器阵列300的结构做了进一步的示例性说明。参见图2，可选的，编码带200具有沿着被测设备轨道方向设置的P行编码道210，每行编码道210包括M个编码位，编码位由凹部211或凸起212形成，M个编码位构成其所在编码道210的位置编码信息，每行编码道210的位置编码信息不同，其中，1≤P≤2 M，且P为正整数。
示例性的，图2以方格表示编码位并示出了M＝16，即一行编码道210包括16个编码位的编码带200结构。具体的，编码位由凹部211或凸起212形成，从图2可以看出，每行编码道210所具有的凹部211和凸起212是不同的，因此，每行编码道210的位置编码信息不同，换句话说，每个编码道210上编码信息均唯一，编码带200至少可以标识2 M个位置。
如此设置，可以将具有凹部211和凸起212的编码道210作为磁栅结构，实现磁栅的二维分布，从而大大减小磁栅的尺寸。
图2示例性的示出了磁电阻传感器阵列300具有1行16列磁电阻传感器310的结构。通过将磁电阻传感器阵列300在行方向上设置与一行编码道210的M个编码位一一对应的M个磁电阻传感器310，可以使每个磁电阻传感器310采集到对应编码位的磁场强度，从而确定每一个编码位的编码信息，最终通过M个编码位的编码信息确定其所在编码道210的位置编码信息，从而确定被测设备的位置。
继续参见图2，可选的，行方向上，每行相邻两个磁电阻传感器310的间距D1等于每行相邻两个编码位的间距D2。
行方向上，通过设置每行相邻两个磁电阻传感器310的间距D1与每行相邻两个编码位的间距D2相等，可以使磁电阻传感器310检测对应编码位的磁场强度时的结果更加准确，从而保证最终获取的位置编码信息的准确性，确保编码器性能优异。
需要说明的是，本领域技术人员可自行设定每行编码道210的编码位的数量M，本揭露实施例对此不做限定。如图2所示，沿着轨道方向AA’，相邻两行编码道210的距离为L，可以理解的，L决定了编码器的分辨率，L越小，编码器的分辨率越高。而每行编码道210中编码位的数量决定了编码道210的数量，因此，为了提高测量范围，编码位的个数越多越好。
示例性的，以高分辨率的隧道磁阻(Tunnel Magneto Resistance，TMR)传感器为例，其最小单元尺寸0.2mm，即D1＝D2＝0.2mm，假设磁电阻传感器阵列300由20个磁电阻传感器310横向排列构成，为了保证每行编码道210的位置编码信息唯一，最多可以设置2 20行编码道210，若相邻编码道210的间距L＝1mm，则测量长度为2 20×1mm＝1,048,576mm，测量分辨率为1mm；若采用30个磁电阻传感器310横向排列，则最 多可以设置2 30行编码道210，测量长度可以达到1000Km。若需要提高编码器的分辨率，减小间距L即可。
图3是图1中编码带和磁电阻传感器阵列的另一种结构示意图，示例性的，磁电阻传感器阵列300包括多行(N＝3)磁电阻传感器310。如此设置，磁电阻传感器310可以同时获取相邻N行的编码道210的位置编码信息，从而保障了检测结果的准确性，提高了编码器的可靠性。
图4是图2或图3中一行编码道的凹部和凸起的结构示意图，参见图4，可选的，编码带200的编码形式为二进制码或者格雷码。
如图4所示，编码道210中凹部211的编码信息为“0”，凸起212的编码信息为“1”，该编码道210的位置编码信息由“1011 0001 0101 0001”唯一确定。采用二进制码或格雷码的编码方式，可以使编码形式更加简单，而且不需要复杂的游标计算。本领域人员在为编码带编码时，可以选择使用自然二进制码，或者格雷二进制码。自然二进制码编码方式简单，但是由于相邻数字间转换时会有多个电平的翻转，容易造成误差。而格雷二进制码中，每变一个十进制数，只有一个电平的转换，可以大大减小转换过程中的噪声，提高精度。
图5是在背磁铁的作用下，图4所示编码道周围的磁力线分布示意图。图5中，加粗箭头表示背磁铁为编码带200充磁的充磁方向，当编码道210暴露在背磁铁产生的磁场中时，由于其表面具有凹部和凸起，在凹部和凸起附近，会使磁场发生偏移。从图5可以看出，编码道210凹部处的磁力线较为稀疏，而凸起处的磁力线则较为密集，利用磁电阻传感器阵列300检测每个编码位的磁场强度，再进行数字处理，即可得到各个编码位的编码信息，从而获得对应编码道210的位置编码信息。
图6是与图5对应的一行编码道中各编码位所对应的磁场强度分布曲线图，利用有限元仿真模拟得到。从图6可以看出，各个凹部211处的编码位所对应的磁场强度较小，各个凸起212处的编码位所对应的磁场强度较大。若以1100Gs(如图中虚线所示)为界，可以将编码位1～16的值进行归类，定义小于1100Gs的为“0”，高于1100Gs的为“1”，则该曲线读出的位置编码信息为“1011 0001 0101 0001”，与图4中的位置编码信息一致，证明了该方案的正确性。
可选的，磁电阻传感器为线性磁电阻传感器，线性磁电阻传感器包括霍尔效应传感器、各向异性传感器、巨磁阻传感器和隧道磁阻传感器中的任意一种。
图7是磁电阻传感器的一种特性曲线图，其中，横坐标H表示磁场强度，纵坐标Vout表示磁传感器的输出电压。从该特性曲线可以看出，磁电阻传感器在磁场强度较大时会饱和，即磁电阻传感器的输出电压不再随外界磁场的增加而增加。因此，在使用编码器时，应对磁场进行优化，使磁电阻传感器工作于线性区H1-H2。
此外，可选的，磁电阻传感器为梯度磁电阻传感器，梯度磁电阻传感器包括霍尔效应传感器、各向异性传感器、巨磁阻传感器和隧道磁阻传感器中的任意一种。
上述线性磁电阻传感器和梯度磁电阻传感器均具有良好的磁感应能力，本领域技术人员可根据实际需要自行选择，本揭露实施例对此不做限定。
可选的，编码带200与基座100一体成型。
如此设置，可以进一步降低编码器的成本，简化制备工艺。
本揭露实施例通过在高磁导率材料上构建横向排列的M个由凹部或凸起形成的编码位，由此构成一个位置的编码道，并由若干个编码道沿着高磁导率材料的轨道方向排列以构成编码带，再采用二进制或格雷码的编码方式为其编码，以标识不同的位置。利用背磁铁为编码带充磁，在其周围形成不均匀的磁场，并通过设置M个磁电阻传感器横向排列，使其与编码位一一对应并形成磁电阻传感器阵列，用于读取对应编码道的位置编码信息。由于每一个位置的编码道具有唯一的位置编码信息，利用磁传感器阵列，即可获取被测设备在移动过程中不同位置处的位置编码信息，实现其直线位移绝对位置的测量。该直线位移绝对位置编码器具有成本低、体积小、编码方式简单、寿命长以及抗污染和抗震动等优势，具有很好的实用性。
注意，上述仅为本揭露的较佳实施例及所运用技术原理。本领域技术人员会理解，本揭露不限于这里所述的特定实施例，对本领域技术人员来说能够进行各种明显的变化、重新调整和替代而不会脱离本揭露的保护范围。因此，虽然通过以上实施例对本揭露进行了较为详细的说明，但是本揭露不仅仅限于以上实施例，在不脱离本揭露构思的情况下，还可以包括更多其他等效实施例，而本揭露的范围由所附的权利要求范围决定。
