Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A torque detection sensor includes first teeth and second teeth provided to protrude in staggered arrangement in an annular core and plural energizing circuits in which first coils and second coils wound around the first teeth and the second teeth are connected in series, in which plural magnetic paths having inclinations of ±45 degrees with respect to an axial center direction are respectively formed through an object to be detected between the first teeth and the second teeth by energization to the plural energizing circuits.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A torque detection sensor of a self-excitation type that measures variation of magnetic permeability by variation of coil impedance in magnetic circuits formed between a core and an object to be detected by energizing coils wound around teeth provided to protrude from the annular core provided around the object to be detected at plural places, the sensor comprising: first teeth and second teeth provided to protrude in staggered arrangement in the annular core in a circumferential direction; and a plurality of energizing circuits in which first coils and second coils with different winding directions wound around the first teeth and the second teeth are connected in series, wherein a plurality of magnetic paths having an inclination of +45 degrees and a plurality of magnetic paths having an inclination of −45 degrees with respect to an axial center direction are respectively formed through the object to be detected between the first teeth and the second teeth by energization to the plural energizing circuits. 2 . The torque detection sensor according to claim 1 , wherein the first coils and the second coils connected to the same energizing circuit in series are respectively wound around the first teeth and the second teeth forming the magnetic paths having the inclination of +45 degrees with respect to the axial center direction, the first coils and the second coils connected to the same energizing circuit in series are respectively wound around the first teeth and the second teeth forming the magnetic paths having the inclination of −45 degrees with respect to the axial center direction, and the first teeth and the second teeth adjacent to each other in the annular core in the circumferential direction are alternately excited to N-poles and S-poles. 3 . The torque detection sensor according to claim 1 , comprising: a first energizing circuit performing energization from the first coil wound around the first tooth to the second coil wound around the second tooth having a phase difference of +45 degrees in the circumferential direction, and performing energization from the second coil wound around another second tooth wired in the circumferential direction to the first coil wound around another first tooth having the phase difference of +45 degrees; and a second energizing circuit performing energization from the first coil wound around the first tooth to the second coil wound around the second tooth having a phase difference of −45 degrees and performing energization from the second coil wound around another second tooth wired in the circumferential direction to the first coil wound around another first tooth having the phase difference of −45 degrees. 4 . The torque detection sensor according to claim 1 , wherein the sensor is a self-excitation sensor measuring variation of magnetic permeability by variation of coil impedance in magnetic circuits formed between the core and the object to be detected by energizing the first coils wound around the first teeth and the second coils wound around the second teeth provided to protrude in staggered arrangement in the core.
