Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, in conventional rotation angle detection devices, the phase difference between the detection signals used to calculate the rotation angle of the rotation body is uniquely determined by the characteristics of the magnets or the gear ratio of each auxiliary rotation body, so there is a design gap.

Abstract

A rotation angle detector for detecting a rotation angle of a detectable rotation body, comprises: a primary rotation body to be attached to the detectable rotation body and to rotate as integral with the detectable rotation body; a secondary rotation body to rotate as a predetermined rotation ratio for the primary rotation body; a primary rotation detection mechanism to output a signal to be varied periodically as corresponding to a rotation of the primary rotation body; a secondary rotation detection mechanism to output a signal to be varied periodically as corresponding to a rotation of the secondary rotation body; a signal processing unit to calculate the rotation angles of the primary and the secondary rotation bodies using the signals that the primary and the secondary rotation detection mechanisms output; and an operation processing unit to calculate the rotation angle of the detectable rotation body, based on the calculated rotation angle of the primary or of the secondary rotation body, and on a relative rotation angle between the primary and the secondary rotation body, wherein at least any one of the following signals (A) to (D) is designed to have a cycle as different from one cycle for one rotation of the primary rotation body or of the secondary rotation body; (A) an output signal of the primary rotation detection mechanism; (B) an output signal of the secondary rotation detection mechanism; (C) an input signal from the primary rotation detection mechanism to be processed at the signal processing unit; and (D) an input signal from the secondary rotation detection mechanism to be processed at the signal processing unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a rotation angle detecting device for detecting the rotation angle of a rotating body. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, there has been disclosed a rotation angle detection device that is attached to a rotating body such as a steering shaft of an automobile to detect the rotation angle of the rotating body. [0003] The conventional rotation angle device disclosed in Patent Document 1 includes a main rotating body that rotates together with the rotating body, and two sub rotating bodies that rotate in conjunction with the main rotating body. The main rotating body and the two auxiliary rotating bodies each have gears with different numbers of teeth, and the gears of each auxiliary rotating body mesh with the gears of the main rotating body. In addition, each sub rotating body has a magnet, and an AMR sensor (anisotropic magnetoresistive element) for detecting the magnetic field of each magnet is provided. Thus, th...
