摘要:
A drive-by-wire non-contact capacitive throttle control apparatus and method of forming the same. A capacitive position sensor is provided, which includes a stationary electrode and a rotatable electrode. The rotatable electrode can be attached to a throttle lever such that the rotatable electrode rotates as the throttle lever rotates. The capacitance between the rotatable electrode and the stationary electrode varies with the position of the throttle lever. The position of the throttle lever can be measured by measuring the capacitance between the electrodes and a signal can be generated based on the sensed position. The signal can be electrically transmitted to an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) utilizing one or more electrical wires. The signal can be sent in the form of a varying voltage, which in turn controls the throttle of a vehicle.
摘要:
A non-contact shift lever position detector (100) includes a housing (102), a gear position shift lever (104), a magnet (106), a plurality of magnetic sensors (108-1, 108-2, 108-3), and a processor (110). The gear position shift lever is disposed partially within the housing and is moveable to at least a first position (F), a second position (N), and a third position (R). The magnet is disposed within the housing, and is coupled to the gear position shift lever and is movable therewith. The magnetic sensors are fixedly disposed within the housing and each magnetic sensor is spaced apart from the magnet and is configured to supply an output voltage representative of its proximity to the magnet. The processor is coupled to receive the output voltage supplied from each of the magnetic sensors and is configured, upon receipt thereof, to determine when the gear position shift lever is in the first position, the second position, and the third position.
