摘要:
Two A.C. output signals amplitude-modulated in accordance with two function values (sine and cosine) differing from each other in correspondence to a position-to-be-detected are received from a position sensor such as a resolver. By performing an addition or subtraction between a signal derived by shifting the electric phase of one of the received A.C. output signals by a predetermined angle, and the other received signal, two electric A.C. signals (sin(ωt±d+θ), sin((ωt±d−θ)) are electrically synthesized which have electric phase angles (θ) corresponding to the position-to-be-detected and are phase-shifted in opposite directions. “±d” here represents phase variation error caused by factors, other than the position-to-be-detected, such as temperature change. In the synthesized two signals, the phase variation errors (±d) appear in the same direction, while the phase differences (θ) corresponding to the position are shifted in opposite, positive and negative, directions. Thus, by measuring the respective phase shift amounts (±d+θ, ±d−θ) and performing appropriate operation, it is allowed to cancel out or extract the error (±d) so that an accurate phase difference (θ) can be detected. Position detection data indicative of the detected phase difference (θ) is converted into a pulse-width-modulated signal and transmitted in the pulse-width-modulated form.

A winding section includes a primary winding to be excited by a single-phase A.C. signal, and a plurality of secondary windings provided at different locations with respect to a predetermined direction of linear movement. A variable magnetic coupling section includes a plurality of magnetic response members provided in repetition at a predetermined pitch along the direction of linear movement, and allows inductive A.C. output signals, amplitude-modulated in accordance with a varying linear position of an object of detection, to be produced in the individual secondary windings with amplitude function characteristics differing depending on positional differences between the secondary windings. Each of the inductive A.C. output signals produced in the secondary windings varies in its amplitude function in periodic cycles each corresponding to the pitch length of the magnetic response members. The variable magnetic coupling section may include a core section made of a wire, and the magnetic response members in the form of metal pieces provided at the predetermined pitch and secured by caulking to the core section.

摘要:
A group of secondary windings are distributively provided on a stator over a predetermined range, and the respective inductance of the secondary windings in the group is set in such a manner to present predetermined inductance distribution. A rotor has an eccentric shape so as to cause variations in magnetic coupling at individual poles of the stator in response to its current rotational position. By combined use of the magnetic coupling variations between primary and secondary windings on the stator and the predetermined inductance distribution of the secondary windings, high-accuracy detection of a rotational position is achieved with a simple structure. A plurality of primary windings may be set so as to present predetermined inductance distribution.

Two A.C. output signals amplitude-modulated in accordance with two function values (sine and cosine) differing from each other in correspondence to a position-to-be-detected are received from a position sensor such as a resolver. By performing an addition or subtraction between a signal derived by shifting the electric phase of one of the received A.C. output signals by a predetermined angle, and the other received signal, two electric A.C. signals (sin(.omega.t .+-.d.+-..theta.), sin(.omega.t.+-.d-.theta.)) are electrically synthesized which have electric phase angles (.theta.) corresponding to the position-to-be-detected and are phase-shifted in opposite directions. ".+-.d" here represents phase variation error caused by factors, other than the position-to-be-detected, such as temperature change. In the synthesized two signals, the phase variation errors (.+-.d) appear in the same direction, while the phase differences (.theta.) corresponding to the position are shifted in opposite, positive and negative, directions. Thus, by measuring the respective phase shift amounts (.+-.d.+-..theta., .+-.d-.theta.) and performing appropriate operation, it is allowed to cancel out or extract the error (.+-.d) so that an accurate phase difference (.theta.) can be detected.

摘要:
The present invention is directed to a position detection method and apparatus whereby a first A.C. output signal having an electric phase angle shifted in a positive direction in accordance with a position-to-be-detected is produced along with a second A.C. output signal having an electric phase angle shifted in a negative direction. First and second detection data are then generated by detecting respective phase differences of the first and second A.C. output signals from a predetermined reference phase. The first and second predicted values are provided on the bases of at least two successive samples of the first and second detection data, respectively. The first and second predicted values are then modified to provide a standard predicted value for correcting any nonlinear error resulting from the Doppler effect. Using this standard predicted value, predictive interpolation is performed on the first and second detection data sequentially with the passage of time to provide first and second interpolated data.

First A.C. output signal sin(&ohgr;+&thgr;) having an electric phase angle shifted in a positive direction in accordance with a position-to-be-detected is produced along with a second A.C. output signal sin(&ohgr;−&thgr;) having an electric phase angle shifted in a negative direction. First and second detection data are generated by detecting respective phase differences (+&thgr; and −&thgr;) of the first and second A.C. output signals from a predetermined reference phase. First predicted value is provided on the basis of at least two successive samples of the first detection data, and a second predicted value is provided on the basis of at least two successive samples of the second detection data. The first and second predicted values are modified to provide a standard predicted value for correcting a nonlinear error resulting from the Doppler effect. Using this standard predicted value, predictive interpolation is performed on the first and second detection data sequentially with the passage of time, so as to provide first and second interpolated detection data. With this arrangement, it is possible to achieve improved response and detection performance with respect to dynamic characteristics. Error due to a temperature change or the like may be eliminated by performing an arithmetic operation on the first and second interpolated detection data, so that temperature drift characteristics can be improved.
摘要:
An excitation AC signal biased by a predetermined DC voltage is applied to a coil to allow a DC voltage component in a coil output signal to contain failure information about disconnection, partial disconnection, or the like of the coil. The DC voltage component contained in the coil output signal is detected, and the detected DC voltage is provided as an offset voltage for a failure diagnosis. Further, to check a peak level of the excitation AC voltage, a DC voltage corresponding to the peak level may be contained in the offset voltage. A differential amplifier circuit for obtaining a difference between a coil detection output AC voltage component and a reference AC voltage component outputs an obtained differential signal offset by the offset voltage. Accordingly, the differential signal containing the offset voltage as the failure information is transmitted to a circuit for torque measurement as a torque detection signal via a single output line. The circuit for torque measurement provides the torque detection data based on the transmitted differential signal and at the same time extracts the offset voltage to use it for the failure diagnosis.

First and second shafts (1, 2) are interconnected via a torsion bar (3) for torsional (or rotational) movement relative to each other, and first and second magnetic body sections (10, 20) are provided to rotate in interlocked relation to the rotation of the first and second shafts, respectively. The first and second magnetic body sections form at least two ring-shaped variable magnetic coupling sections opposed to each other via a gap, magnetic coupling in each of the boundary sections varies in response to variation of a relative rotational position between the first and second shafts, and variation of the magnetic coupling differs in phase between the boundary sections. Coil section (30) includes magnetic-coupling detecting coils (L1-L4) provided in corresponding relation to the boundary sections. Each of the first and second magnetic body sections is of a cylindrical shape and has a plurality of magnetic teeth formed at unequal pitches along the circumferential direction thereof, and the magnetic teeth differ in axial length among tooth groups corresponding to the boundary sections.
