[0020] Working principle:

[0021] Direction sensing: when the rotation of the shaft is sensed, through two Hall elements U1 and U2, one in front of the other, the direction of the rotating shaft is sensed, that is, from top to bottom movement, when the magnetic field strength of Hall element U2 is higher than 5Gs, Hall element U2 is triggered to output high level and latch high level, until the magnetic field of Hall element U2 is lower than -5Gs, Hall element U2 is triggered to output low level and latch low level. With the movement of the rotating shaft, when the magnetic field strength of Hall element U1 is higher than 5Gs, Hall element U1 is triggered to output high level and latch high level, until the magnetic field of Hall element U1 is lower than -5Gs, Hall element U1 is triggered to output low level and latch low level. Through the triggering of Hall element U1 and Hall element U2 in sequence, the direction of rotation of the rotating shaft can be determined.

[0022] Speed sensing: with the rotation of the shaft, when the magnetic field strength of Hall element U2 is higher than 5Gs, Hall element U2 is triggered to output high level and latch high level, until the magnetic field of Hall element U2 is lower than -5Gs, Hall element U2 is triggered to output low level and latch low level. Through the repetition period of high and low levels calculated by the assistance control unit MCU, the speed is calculated.

[0023] Output signal: the assistance control unit MCU compares the sensed speed and direction with the set direction, if the direction is consistent with the set direction, the assistance system assistance control unit MCU automatically calculates the speed period, thereby triggering the output of high level. With the change of speed, the period of the output signal also changes, and the duration of high level also changes. If the direction is opposite to the set direction, the assistance system stops outputting.

The technical scope of the present application is not limited to the contents of the specification, and must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
