摘要:
A sensor-incorporated wheel support bearing assembly (18) includes an outer member (1) having an inner peripheral surface formed with double rows of raceway surfaces (4), an inner member (2) having an outer peripheral surface formed with raceway surfaces (5) opposed to the raceway surfaces (4) in the outer member (1), and double rows of rolling elements (3) interposed between the raceway surfaces (4) and (5) in the outer and inner members (1) and (2). Rings (9A) and (9B) each having an outer peripheral surface tapered is secured to the inner member (2). A displacement sensor (10) confronting the tapered outer peripheral surfaces of the rings (9A) and (9B) is mounted on the outer member (11) or a member (17) rigidly secured to the outer member (1) for measuring the distance between such displacement sensor (10) and the rings (9A) and (9B).

A sensor assembly (3) is sandwiched together with a rubber material (11) mixed with a vulcanizing agent in a mold assembly (2) including an upper mold (9) and a lower mold (10). The upper and lower molds (9, 10), while completely sandwiching the sensor assembly (3), are heated for a predetermined length of time, and a pressure is then applied to the sensor assembly (3) to complete a compressive molding.

A combined sensor and bearing assembly (1) is of a type having a capability of detecting a point of origin and includes a rolling bearing unit (6) and a rotation sensor unit (31). The rolling bearing unit (6) is made up of a rotatable raceway member (4), a stationary raceway member (5) and at least one row of rolling elements (3). The rotation sensor unit (31) includes a to-be-detected member (8) having a magnet and fitted to one of the raceway members (4, 5), and a magnetic detecting member (9) fitted to the other raceway member (4, 5) at a location confronting the to-be-detected member (8). This combined sensor and bearing assembly (1) is used at a location close to an electromagnetic coil (17) emanating a leakage magnetic field, in a condition in which a direction of flow of an electric current through the electromagnetic coil (17) is fixed in one direction so that a direction of a magnetic flux, with which the magnetic detecting member (9) is switched off, may coincide with a direction of the leakage magnetic flux.

The bearing assembly includes a rolling bearing including a rotatable raceway member and a stationary raceway member. This bearing assembly also includes a to-be-detected member carried by the raceway member and having a magnetic characteristic which cyclically varies in a direction circumferentially of the to-be-detected element and has a cycle matching with one complete rotation of the raceway member, a magnetic sensor unit carried by the raceway member in face-to-face relation with the to-be-detected member, and a magnetic detecting circuit to supply an electric power to the unit and to process an output signal from the unit to provide an output to an external circuit. The magnetic characteristic of the to-be-detected member represents a substantially sinusoidal waveform rising and falling more steeply than a sinusoidal waveform at a zero-crossing point.

A sensor-incorporated wheel support bearing assembly, enabling a load sensor to be compactly installed on the vehicle and capable of detecting a load on a wheel with good sensitivity includes a ring member, affixed to a stationary member, which has at an intermediate portion thereof a first non-contact ring portion not in contact with the stationary member, at one end a first contact ring portion in contact with the stationary member, and at the other end the following (A) or (B): (A) a second non-contact ring portion having a wall thickness greater than that of the first non-contact ring portion; (B) a second contact ring portion in contact with the stationary member. A strain sensor is fitted to; in (A), the first non-contact ring portion, and in (B), the first non-contact ring portion or first contact ring portion, which has smaller wall thickness.

In a wheel support bearing assembly having rows of rolling elements (3) interposed between an outer member (1) and an inner member (2), spacers (27) are interposed between vehicle body fitting holes (9) in the outer member (1), which is a stationary member, and a knuckle (25). A sensor unit (16) including a sensor mounting member (17) and a strain sensor (18) is fitted to the outer member (1). The sensor mounting member (17) has at least two contact fixing portions (17a, 17b) fixed to the outer member (1) and, also, has at least one recess (17c) between the neighboring contact fixing portions (17a, 17b), the strain sensor (18) being disposed in this recess (17c).

A occupant weight detecting device detects the weight of an occupant setting on a vehicle seat assembly and includes a pivot support mechanism for supporting the vehicle seat assembly for pivotal movement about a horizontally extending shaft relative to a seat fixing portion in a vehicle; an elastic force applying mechanism for applying a biasing force to the vehicle seat assembly to enable the latter to pivot an angle, proportional to a load imposed on the vehicle seat assembly, relative to the seat fixing portion; a pivot angle detecting mechanism for detecting an angle of pivot of the vehicle seat assembly relative to the seat fixing portion; and a pivot restricting mechanism for defining a pivotal range over which the vehicle seat assembly can pivot relative to the seat fixing portion.
