The invention provides a photoelectric rotating speed sensor, which comprises a connecting cable, an outer cover, a
grating and a photoelectric module matched with the
grating, and is characterized by further comprising a fixed shaft and a transmission disc, the transmission disc is fixed with a wheel, one end, close to the wheel, of the fixed shaft is fixed with an axle end, and the other end of the fixed shaft penetrates through the transmission disc and is rotationally connected with the transmission disc; the
grating is arranged on the fixed shaft in a penetrating mode, the grating is rotationally connected with the fixed shaft, a rotating
assembly is arranged between the transmission disc and the grating, so that when the transmission disc rotates, the grating can be driven to rotate, the transmission disc is covered with the outer cover, the outer cover is connected with the fixed shaft, and the photoelectric module is arranged in the outer cover. And a rotating
assembly is arranged between the driving disc and the grating, so that when the wheel rotates, the driving disc drives the grating to rotate, a frequency
signal proportional to the rotating speed of the wheel is generated and provided for a
control system, and the device is suitable for
rail transit vehicles with fixed axles and rotating wheels in the running process.
