Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An apparatus for measuring a speed of a vehicle having an in-wheel motor includes a lock nut part fixed to an outer portion of a rotation shaft rotated by receiving power of the in-wheel motor, and restricting movement of a bearing part positioned outside the rotation shaft; a connection part coupled to the lock nut part; a magnet part having a magnetic force, and fixed to the connection part; and a speed sensor part installed to be separated from the magnet part, and measuring rotations of the magnet part.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus for measuring a speed of a vehicle having an in-wheel motor, comprising: a lock nut part fixed to an outer portion of a rotation shaft configured to be rotated by receiving power of the in-wheel motor, and restricting movement of a bearing part positioned outside the rotation shaft; a connection part coupled to the lock nut part; a magnet part having a magnetic force, and fixed to the connection part; and a speed sensor part installed to be separated from the magnet part, and configured for measuring rotations of the magnet part. 2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the connection part has a ring shape which surrounds an outside of the lock nut part, and is configured to be coupled to the lock nut part by press fitting. 3. The apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the connection part is configured to be coupled to the lock nut part after the connection part and the magnet part are coupled first. 4. The apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the magnet part is formed by sintering powder having a magnetic force, and is bonded to the connection part. 5. An apparatus for measuring a speed of a vehicle having an in-wheel motor, comprising: a lock nut part fixed to an outer portion of a rotation shaft configured to be rotated by receiving power of the in-wheel motor, and restricting movement of a bearing part positioned outside the rotation shaft; a magnet part having a magnetic force, and fixed to the lock nut part; and a speed sensor part installed to be separated from the magnet part, and configured for measuring rotations of the magnet part. 6. The apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the magnet part is formed by sintering powder having a magnetic force, and is bonded to an outside of the lock nut part. 7. The apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the magnet part comprises: a magnet body facing an upper surface of the lock nut part, and extending in a ring shape; and engagement projections extending from the magnet body, and inserted into engagement grooves which are defined in the lock nut part. 8. An apparatus for measuring a speed of a vehicle having an in-wheel motor, comprising: a lock nut part fixed to an outer portion of a rotation shaft configured to be rotated by receiving power of the in-wheel motor, and restricting movement of a bearing part positioned outside the rotation shaft; and a speed sensor part installed to be separated from the lock nut part, and configured for measuring rotations of the lock nut part. 9. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the lock nut part comprises: a lock nut body locked to the outer portion of the rotation shaft, and having a ring shape; and outer projections projecting on a circumferential outer surface of the lock nut body in shapes of prominences and depressions, and configured to be measured by the speed sensor part. 10. The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the lock nut part further comprises: engagement grooves which form groove portions between the outer projections.
