摘要:
A torque detecting apparatus is provided which is capable of easily positioning a magnetic sensor in relation to a corresponding pair of magnetism collecting projections and thus improving the detection accuracy of the magnetic sensor without increasing the number of assembling and processing steps. A pair of magnetism collecting projections 60 and 60 of each magnetism collecting ring 6 are arranged to extend not in their respective radial directions but substantially in parallel to each other while two magnetic sensors 7 and 7 are mounted to a circuit board 70 and inserted along the direction of projection of the magnetism collecting projections 60 and 60 into the air gaps respectively between the two magnetism collecting projection 60 and 60 of one magnetism collecting ring 6 and the two magnetism collecting projection 60 and 60 of the other magnetism collecting ring 6.

There is provided a torque detecting device including: magnetic flux concentrating rings which locate on a magnetic circuit forming member provided in a rotating body to which a torque is exerted, the rings concentrating a magnetic flux generated by the member; a detecting part which detects the torque to the rotating body based on a density of the magnetic flux concentrated by the rings; and a holding ring which holds the magnetic flux concentrating rings and the detecting part and includes an attachment portion attaching to a stationary substance, on a circumference of the holding ring. Both end faces of the holding ring in an axial direction of the holding ring are substantially parallel. The attachment portion includes a fitting groove into which a sealing ring, which seals a gap between the attachment portion and the stationary substance, fits.

A detecting unit for detecting a torque applied to a rotor according to rotation of the rotor having an input shaft and an output shaft connected with each other by a torsion bar and a detection circuit board connected with the detecting unit are molded with synthetic resin material to form a mold member. The installation of the mold member into a housing, which has a cylinder portion to surround the rotor and a retainer having an opening formed at the peripheral wall of the cylinder portion, is achieved by inserting the mold member into the retainer from the radial direction through the opening of the retainer.

Magnetic pole nails 51, 51 . . . aligned on magnetic yokes 5, 5 that integrally rotate with the second shaft 2 are formed in a rectangular shape, and the circumferential width and alignment pitch of the magnetic pole nails 51, 51 . . . are appropriately determined with respect to the magnetization pitch of the N-poles 40, 40 . . . and the S-poles 41, 41 . . . circumferentially aligned on the cylindrical magnet 4 that integrally rotates with the first shaft 1, so that a variation in magnetic flux generated on the magnetic yoke 5, 5 in accordance with the relative displacement between the cylindrical magnet 4 and the magnetic yoke 5, 5 uniformly takes place in a larger amplitude. Thus, a torque detecting apparatus that achieves higher detection accuracy with a simple structure can be provided.

In a torque detecting apparatus, in each of two flux concentrating rings, a portion along a circumferential direction is raised outward in a radial direction so that a flux concentrating section is provided that has a plate shape extending on one side in an axial direction. These flux concentrating rings are fixedly arranged such that the flux concentrating sections should oppose to each other in the circumferential direction with a predetermined gap in between. Leakage flux between opposing surfaces of the flux concentrating sections is detected by magnetic sensors aligned in an axial direction between these opposing surfaces. This improves the utilization of materials for the flux concentrating rings including the flux concentrating sections, and hence reduces the product cost.
