Problems solved by technology

Although optical discs made of metal and glass have good temperature resistance and long service life, optical discs formed by electroforming and etching processes require high manufacturing costs
In addition, compared with optical discs made of metal and glass, the light source in the optical encoder (such as a light emitting diode) has a shorter service life and a poorer temperature limit. Therefore, the type of light source used often limits the optical Encoder application range

Abstract

The invention provides an optical encoder, including an optical disc, a shaft, an optical source and a sensor. The optical disc possesses a first surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface, a side surface connected between the first surface and the second surface, and a plurality of optical optical structures arranged on the first surface. The shaft is arranged at the center of the optical disc, wherein the optical disc is rotated with the shaft as the center. The optical source is arranged at one side of the side surface, wherein the optical source provides rays which is transmitted toward the surface. The sensor is arranged at one side of the optical disc to receive rays emitted from the first surface, wherein the first surface is positioned between the second surface and the sensor.

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The present invention relates to an optical encoder, and more particularly to an optical encoder with an optical disc having an optical structure. 【Background technique】 [0002] At present, in order to accurately grasp the rotation of the motor, an optical encoder is installed inside the motor in the prior art. An optical encoder is composed of an optical disk engraved with specific information, a light source and a light sensor. Generally speaking, the optical disc has a plurality of periodically arranged openings that allow light to pass through. When the optical disc rotates, the optical sensor will receive a specific periodic optical signal. At this time, the optical encoder can According to this optical signal, the rotational speed and rotation amount of the motor are judged. [0003] In existing optical encoders, the optical disk is usually made of metal or glass, and the metal optical disk is formed by electroforming, and the openings on th...
