A position detector can correct a position for detecting a moving object without changing a physical location of a moving mechanism, a Hall element and/or the like. Either a permanent magnet 19 or Hall elements 16a, 17a, 17b, 17c is mounted on a moving object 3 moving along a fixed movement path, and the other of them is mounted on the fixed movement path of the moving object 3. A voltage output from each Hall element is detected based on an electromotive force induced in the Hall element in accordance with a facing position between the permanent magnet and the Hall element, for detection of the position of the moving object. A comparison unit a2 outputs a detection signal for the moving object when the voltage value output from the Hall element exceeds a threshold, and comprises a variable controlling unit R for variably controlling the threshold.

A rotation angle detection device is simple in structure and is capable of reducing the size of a permanent magnet. The permanent magnet is fixedly secured to a rotating member. A first guide member is attached at one end face to an S pole side of the permanent magnet. A second guide member is attached at one end face to an N pole side of the permanent magnet, and has its tip end disposed in opposition to a tip end of the first guide member. A magnetoresistive member is disposed in a space between the tip ends of the first and second guide members, the magnetoresistive member being fixedly attached to a non-rotating member. An angle of rotation of the rotating member is detected by detecting a change of the azimuth of magnetic flux, which is generated by the permanent magnet in the space, by means of the magnetoresistive member.

A temperature information detecting device for an angle sensor is provided for detecting only temperature-dependent components based on middle-point potentials when a constant current is supplied to a bridge circuit for an angle sensor, for acquiring a temperature of the angle sensor from the temperature-dependent components, for employing compensating information corresponding to the acquired temperature without separately providing any additional temperature sensor, and for making temperature compensation of the output of the temperature sensor in automatically controlling the valve opening of a flow control valve.

The contactless magneto-resistive angle sensing device (1) includes two sensor components (10,11) oriented at a fixed angle relative to each other, a controllable power supply (PW) to heat and maintain the sensor components (10,11) at different temperatures, a magnet (MG) producing a magnetic field (B) in which the sensor components are arranged and an evaluating device (12) to receive output signals (U1,U2) from the sensor components (10,11). Each sensor component (10,11) includes magneto-resistive resistors (MR) connected in a respective bridge (B1,B2) having input terminals (I1,I1';I2,I2') for supply of current and output terminals (O1,O1';O2,O2') for the output signal (U1,U2). In a rotating magnetic field the evaluating device (12) analyzes the output signals (U1,U2) as a function of field angle and temperature to determine a reference angle at which the output signals of the angle sensing device have a minimum temperature dependence and stores the reference angle as a zero point for subsequent angular measurements. The sensor components are then mounted on a rotatable part whose angular position is to be subsequently measured at an angular position in relation to a stationary magnetic corresponding to the reference angle.

The invention provides a sensing device capable of outputting a correct signal precisely corresponding to a particular position (angle) of, for example a protruding or recessed portion of a rotating member made of a magnetic material. The sensing device includes: a magnet for generating magnetic field; a rotary member of magnetic material for changing a magnetic field generated by the magnet, the rotary member of magnetic material being disposed a predetermined distance apart from the magnet; and a giant magnetoresistance device for detecting the varying magnetic field, the operating range of the giant magnetoresistance device being set such that the change in resistance of the giant magnetoresistance device is uniform over the entire operating range in both directions of change in the magnetic field induced by the rotary member of magnetic material, wherein the giant magnetoresistance device is disposed in such a manner that the center of the magnetic field sensing plane of the giant magnetoresistance device deviates from the center of the magnet in a direction parallel to a plane containing the displacement direction of the rotary member of magnetic material.

A movement distance detector which is simple in structure, low-cost and highly accurate. The detector includes a magnet movable along a path, a magnetic body arranged along the path, and a magnetically sensitive element attached to one end of the magnetic body. When the magnet is moved along the path, a magnetic circuit is formed by the oppositely arranged magnet and magnetic body. The number of magnetic fluxes focused by the magnetic body changes with the movement distance of the magnet. The magnetically sensitive element detects the change in number of magnetic fluxes, that is, the movement distance. The magnetic body may be a rod, a truncated pyramid or a cylinder.

Displacement measuring apparatus for measuring the displacement and movement of an object includes a sensor having an operative surface and circuitry for producing an electrical output signal whose value is dependent upon the area of the operative surface covered by an electrical/magnetic field producing member. The apparatus also includes an elongate, flexible band capable of producing an electric/magnetic field, where the band is attached at one end to the sensor to roll over and cover or unroll from over and uncover the operative surface as the object whose displacement is to be measured is moved. The value of the electrical output signal produced by the circuitry is thus dependent upon the area of the operative surface covered by the band and thus by the position and movement of the object.
摘要:
A method of manufacturing a magneto-electric conversion device having a large rate of change of magnetic resistance and which is easy to position with respect to a magnetized surface, and a moving subject displacement detector using a magneto-electric conversion device manufactured by that method. A magnet which rotates together with the rotation of a drive gear is magnetized in alternately differing north and south poles, arranged in an equal sized section from a center portion thereof. An IC chip is positioned opposite to and at a distance from the magnetized surface of the magnet. Magneto-electric conversion devices are located on the IC chip. These magneto-electric conversion devices are formed by repeated alternate depositions, onto a surface of a single-crystal silicon substrate, of magnetic cobalt films having a thickness of several to several tens of angstroms and non-magnetic copper films having a thickness of several to several tens of angstroms.
