[0064] The following describes the motion sensing device of the present invention. However, it is easy to understand that the present invention provides many suitable inventive concepts that can be implemented in a wide variety of specific contexts. The specific embodiments disclosed are only used to illustrate the use of the present invention in a specific way and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0065] Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this disclosure belongs. It is understood that these terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with the background or context of the relevant technology and the present invention, and should not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal manner unless specifically defined herein.
[0066] First see Figure 1 to Figure 3 In one embodiment of the present invention, the motion sensing device 10 mainly includes a fixed part 100, a movable part 200, a sensing module 300, a magnetic isolation element 400 and a fixed assembly 500. An external driving device (such as a motor) can be connected to the movable part 200 to drive the movable part 200 to rotate around a rotation axis R relative to the fixed part 100, and the sensing module 300 can measure the rotation speed and / or rotation angle of the movable part 200 during its rotation.
[0067] The fixing part 100 includes a base 110, a shell 120, a plurality of supporting elements 130 and a plurality of locking elements 140. The base 110 and the shell 120 can be combined to form a cylindrical body, and a receiving space 101 can be formed inside the cylindrical body to accommodate the movable part 200, the sensing module 300 and the magnetic isolation element 400. In addition, a through hole 111 and an opening 121 communicating with the receiving space 101 are formed on the side walls of the base 110 and the shell 120 of the fixing part 100, respectively.
[0068] The movable part 200 includes at least one bearing element 210, a rotating shaft 220 and a magnetic element fixing seat 230. In this embodiment, the movable part 200 includes two bearing elements 210, which are separately disposed in the through hole 111 of the base 110. In this way, it can be ensured that the rotating shaft 220 extends along the rotating axis R to avoid the occurrence of deflection. The rotating shaft 220 can pass through the aforementioned bearing element 210 to be pivotally connected with the fixed part 100, and can extend into the accommodating space 101 of the fixed part 100. The magnetic element fixing seat 230 can be fixed to one end of the rotating shaft 220 located in the accommodating space 101, and the external driving device can be connected to the other end of the rotating shaft 220. Therefore, when the external driving device drives the rotating shaft 220 to rotate around the rotating axis R relative to the fixed part 100, the magnetic element fixing seat 230 will also be driven and rotate relative to the fixed part 100 at the same time.
[0069] The sensing module 300 includes a circuit component 310, a lead component 320, a magnetic element 330, and a magnetic sensing element 340. The circuit component 310 may be, for example, a circuit board, such as Figure 2 to Figure 4 As shown, the circuit assembly 310 generally has a plate-shaped circular structure, and further has a cutting side surface 311 at the opening 121 on the side wall of the corresponding housing 120. It should be particularly noted that the cutting side surface 311 extends along a straight line (such as the X-axis), and a chamfer can be formed between the upper surface 312 (the surface facing the magnetic element fixing seat 230) of the circuit assembly 310 and the cutting side surface 311.
[0070] The circuit assembly 310 can be fixed to the base 110 through the support element 130 and a plurality of locking elements 140. In detail, the two ends of the support element 130 can be connected to the base 110 and the circuit assembly 310 respectively, and then the user can make the locking element 140 pass through the circuit assembly 310 and combine with the support element 130. In this way, the circuit assembly 310 can be firmly fixed to the base 110. The aforementioned locking element 140 can be, for example, a screw, a rivet, or a bolt, but is not limited thereto.
[0071] The lead assembly 320 is disposed on the circuit assembly 310 and electrically connected to the circuit assembly 310, and extends through the opening 121 to be electrically connected to an external circuit. In this embodiment, the opening 121 further extends from the side wall of the housing 120 to the bottom thereof, so that the lead assembly 320 can be accommodated in the opening 121 to reduce the overall size of the motion sensing device 10.
[0072] The magnetic element 330 and the magnetic sensing element 340 are respectively disposed on the magnetic element fixing base 230 and the circuit assembly 310, and the surface of the magnetic sensing element 340 facing the magnetic element 330 is a sensing surface 341. The positions of the magnetic element 330 and the magnetic sensing element 340 correspond to each other, and there is a distance D between the two. For example, the shortest distance between the magnetic element 330 and the magnetic sensing element 340 (i.e., the distance D) may be less than or equal to 1 cm, for example, less than 0.5 cm.
[0073] When the rotating shaft 220 of the movable part 200 is connected to an external driving device, and the external driving device drives the magnetic element fixing base 230 and the magnetic element 330 thereon to rotate, the magnetic sensing element 340 can measure the rotation speed / rotation angle of the magnetic element 330 through the change of the magnetic field direction. For example, the magnetic sensing element 340 can be a magnetoresistive sensing element, such as a tunneling magnetoresistance effect sensor (TMR Sensor), a giant magnetoresistance effect sensor (GMR sensor), or a magnetoresistance effect sensor (MR sensor).
[0074] When the motion sensing device 10 is small in size, the magnetic sensing element 340 will be very close to the magnetic element 330 (for example, the aforementioned distance D is less than 1 cm). In this case, if the motion sensing device 10 is not used for a long time (for example, during transportation or long-term storage), the magnetic pole of the magnetic element 330 is fixed relative to the magnetic sensing element 340, and the magnetic sensing element 340 may be magnetized by the magnetic element 330, causing the motion sensing device 10 to be unusable. The magnetic isolation element 400 of the motion sensing device 10 in the embodiment of the present invention can be used to avoid the aforementioned situation.
[0075] like Figure 1 to Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the magnetic isolation element 400 has a plate-like structure and is flexible. At least a portion of the magnetic isolation element 400 can be disposed between the magnetic element 330 and the magnetic sensing element 340 to shield the magnetic field of the magnetic element 330, thereby preventing the magnetic sensing element 340 from being magnetized. In addition, the magnetic isolation element 400 can extend from between the cutting side surface 311 and the side wall of the housing 120 and pass through the opening 121. The portion of the magnetic isolation element 400 exposed from the opening 121 can be defined as a gripping portion 401.
[0076] In this embodiment, when observing along the arrangement direction (Z-axis direction) of the magnetic element 330 and the magnetic sensing element 340, the size of the magnetic isolation element 330 is larger than the size of the magnetic sensing element 340. In addition, on the rotation axis R, the shortest distance between the magnetic isolation element 400 and the magnetic sensing element 340 is larger than the shortest distance between the magnetic isolation element 400 and the magnetic element 330.
[0077] See also Figure 5A In this embodiment, the magnetic isolation element 400 includes a first substrate 410 and a magnetic isolation layer 420, wherein the magnetic isolation layer 420 is disposed on the first substrate 410. The surface of the first substrate 410 on which the magnetic isolation layer 420 is disposed faces the magnetic element 330. In other words, the first substrate 410 is located between the magnetic isolation layer 420 and the magnetic sensing element 340, and the magnetic isolation layer 420 is located between the first substrate 410 and the magnetic element 330. The magnetic isolation layer 420 has a metal material, and thus can be used to shield the magnetic field of the magnetic element 330. The first substrate 410 has a non-metal material, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), to enhance the strength of the magnetic isolation element 400 and prevent the magnetic isolation layer 420 from breaking when it is bent or deformed.
[0078] Both the first substrate 410 and the magnetic isolation layer 420 are flexible. In this embodiment, in the arrangement direction (Z-axis direction) of the magnetic element 330 and the magnetic sensing element 340, the thickness of the first substrate 410 is greater than the thickness of the magnetic isolation layer 420 (for example, the thickness of the first substrate 410 is more than one hundred times the thickness of the magnetic isolation layer 420), and the Young's modulus of the magnetic isolation layer 420 is greater than the Young's modulus of the first substrate 410. In addition, when observing along the thickness direction (Z-axis direction) of the magnetic isolation element 400, the maximum size of the first substrate 410 is greater than the maximum size of the magnetic isolation layer 420.
[0079] See also Figure 5BIn another embodiment of the present invention, the magnetic isolation element 400 may further include a second substrate 430 disposed on the magnetic isolation layer 420, and the magnetic isolation layer 420 is located between the first substrate 410 and the second substrate 430. The second substrate 430 may be made of the same material as the first substrate 410, so the second substrate 430 may also have a non-metallic material and be flexible, and the Young's modulus of the magnetic isolation layer 420 may be greater than the Young's modulus of the second substrate 430.
[0080] Please go back Figure 3 , the magnetic isolation element 400 can be fixed to the fixed part 100 (or the movable part 200) by using the fixing component 500. In this embodiment, the fixing component 500 includes a first fixing component 510 and a second fixing component 520, both of which are disposed on the magnetic isolation element 400, and the magnetic sensing element 340 is located between the first fixing component 510 and the second fixing component 520. The first fixing component 510 is disposed on the lower surface of the magnetic isolation element 400 and directly contacts the first substrate 410 and the circuit component 310 to fix the first substrate 410 of the magnetic isolation element 400 to the circuit component 310. The second fixing component 520 is disposed on the upper surface of the magnetic isolation element 400 and directly contacts the magnetic isolation element 400 and the inner wall of the opening 121.
[0081] Since both the first fixing element 510 and the second fixing element 520 have weak adhesiveness (e.g., glue), the magnetic isolation element 400 can be fixed between the magnetic element 330 and the magnetic sensing element 340 by using the first fixing element 510 and the second fixing element 520. It should be noted that the first fixing element 510 and the second fixing element 520 are separated from each other and neither of them contacts the magnetic sensing element 340.
[0082] When the user wants to use the motion sensing device 10, he can first hold the holding portion 401 of the magnetic isolation element 400 exposed from the opening 121, and apply force to pull the magnetic isolation element 400 to move the magnetic isolation element 400 in a direction away from the accommodating space 101. Since the first fixing element 510 and the second fixing element 520 have only weak adhesion, when the user applies sufficient external force, the magnetic isolation element 400 will separate from the fixing portion 100 and move away from between the magnetic element 330 and the magnetic sensing element 340. In this way, the magnetic field of the magnetic element 330 will no longer be shielded. The user can then connect the rotating shaft 220 to an external driving device. When the external driving device rotates, the magnetic sensing element 340 can measure its rotation speed / rotation angle.
[0083] See also Figure 6 to Figure 8In another embodiment of the present invention, the motion sensing device 20 mainly includes a fixed portion 100, a movable portion 200, a sensing module 300, a magnetic isolation element 400 and a fixed assembly 500. The parts of the motion sensing device 20 that have the same structure as the motion sensing device 10 will not be repeated. Unlike the motion sensing device 10, the magnetic isolation element 400 and the lead assembly 320 extend through different openings 121A, 121B on the side wall of the housing 120, and the circuit assembly 310 is generally a complete plate-shaped circular structure without a cut side surface.
[0084] The opening 121A through which the magnetic isolation element 400 passes is substantially aligned with the portion of the magnetic isolation element 400 between the magnetic element 330 and the magnetic sensing element 340. Therefore, the magnetic isolation element 400 can extend horizontally through the opening 121A, thereby reducing the force required by the user to pull the magnetic isolation element 400 and preventing the magnetic isolation element 400 from contacting the corners of other elements and causing breakage when pulling the magnetic isolation element 400.
[0085] like Figure 6 to Figure 8 As shown, the opening 121A has an arc structure and can be formed into a limiting structure. Specifically, the opening 121A includes a first limiting surface S1 and a second limiting surface S2. When the magnetic isolation element 400 passes through the opening 121A, the first limiting surface S1 faces the magnetic isolation element 400, and the second limiting surface S2 faces the magnetic isolation element 400. The first limiting surface S1 and the second limiting surface S2 are arranged along a direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the magnetic isolation element 400, so they face different directions and are parallel to each other. The distance between the first limiting surface S1 and the second limiting surface S2 is approximately equal to the width of the magnetic isolation element 400 to limit the moving direction of the magnetic isolation element 400.
[0086] See also Fig. 9 and Fig.10 In another embodiment of the present invention, the motion sensing device 30 mainly includes a fixed portion 100, a movable portion 200, a sensing module 300, a magnetic isolation element 400 and a guide assembly 600. The parts of the motion sensing device 30 that are the same as the motion sensing device 10 / motion sensing device 20 will not be described in detail. Different from the motion sensing device 10 / motion sensing device 20, the fixed assembly can be omitted, and an additional guide assembly 600 is added to the circuit assembly 310, and the guide assembly 600 is located between the magnetic sensing element 340 and the opening 121A.
[0087] In this embodiment, the rigidity of the magnetic isolation element 400 can be greater than the rigidity of the magnetic isolation element 400 in the motion sensing device 10 / motion sensing device 20, so it can be a complete plate-shaped structure. When the magnetic isolation element 400 is installed in the motion sensing device 30, the magnetic isolation element 400 will contact the top surface of the guide component 600 and be separated from the magnetic sensing element 340 by a distance. In this structure, the magnetic isolation element 400 will be less likely to break and easier to remove.
[0088] See also Fig.11 and Fig.12 In another embodiment of the present invention, the motion sensing device 40 mainly includes a fixed portion 100, a movable portion, a sensing module 300 and a magnetic isolation element 400. In this embodiment, the magnetic element 330 of the sensing module 300 is a ring magnet, and the movable portion includes a rotating shaft (not shown) that can pass through the hole in the center of the ring magnet to connect with the ring magnet.
[0089] The magnetic sensing element 340 of the sensing module 300 is disposed on the fixing portion 100. The magnetic isolation element 400 may be Figure 5A or Figure 5B The multi-layer structure shown may be disposed between the magnetic element 330 and the magnetic sensing element 340 .
[0090] When the user wants to use the motion sensing device 40, he can first hold the holding portion 401 of the magnetic isolation element 400, and apply force to pull the magnetic isolation element 400 so that the magnetic isolation element 400 is separated from between the magnetic element 330 and the magnetic sensing element 340. In this way, the magnetic field of the magnetic element 330 will no longer be shielded. The user can then connect the magnetic element 330 to the external driving device through the movable portion. When the external driving device rotates, the magnetic sensing element 340 can measure its rotation speed / rotation angle.
[0091] In summary, the present invention provides a motion sensing device, comprising a fixed part, a movable part, a sensing module and a magnetic isolation element. The movable part can move relative to the fixed part, and the sensing module is used to sense the movement of the movable part relative to the fixed part. At least part of the magnetic isolation element is disposed between the fixed part and the movable part.
