Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of encoder technology, and specifically relates to a small rotary encoder. Background Technology
[0002] Rotary encoders are commonly used to measure the angle and speed of rotating objects. They have wide applications in industries such as automation control, metallurgy, wind power generation, and office supplies. Rotary encoders can be classified into contact encoders, photoelectric encoders, and electromagnetic encoders according to their operating principle. Contact encoders are simple in method but are bulky and have lower measurement accuracy. Because they are contact measurements, the equipment is easily damaged. Photoelectric encoders are non-contact encoders with higher accuracy but are more expensive and sensitive to rain and fog. Magnetic encoders, which utilize the magnetoresistive effect, have advantages over photoelectric and contact encoders, such as small size, simple structure, and good environmental resistance, and have broad application prospects.
[0003] Currently, Chinese invention patent CN101535771 discloses a small rotary encoder. This invention provides a small rotary encoder that allows the substrate to be easily fixed in the appropriate position without the use of adhesives. By providing a slot in the encoder housing, a part of the encoder housing becomes a leaf spring shape. Furthermore, a stepped portion and a claw portion are provided on the inner circumferential surface of the encoder housing. Protrusions and recesses that combine with each other are provided on the inner circumferential surface of the encoder housing and the substrate. When the substrate is inserted, the encoder housing flexes through the slot, allowing the substrate to be inserted into its inner circumference. The substrate can be clamped and fixed by the stepped portion and the claw portion. In addition, the misalignment of the substrate in the circumferential direction can be suppressed, and positioning can be easily achieved.
[0004] Existing small rotary encoders have the following disadvantages when in use:
[0005] 1. The encoder shaft structure of its small rotary encoder has poor stability, resulting in poor practical performance in actual use;
[0006] 2. The waterproof sealing structure of the encoder body shell of the small rotary encoder is not very stable, which makes it easy for water vapor to penetrate inside. In addition, there is no anti-static structure inside, so it cannot be guaranteed that the generated static electricity will not affect the encoder body. Summary of the Invention

[0061] Brief description of the usage process: First, a snap-fit sleeve 5011 is welded to the front side of the rear shell 2 to enable the snap-fit connection between the rear shell 2 and the front shell 1, while improving the sealing performance at the connection point. Then, sealing bolts 5013 are used to connect the front shell 1 through the four corners on the outside and the snap-fit sleeve 5011 through the screw holes 5012 on the outside, thus fixing the rear shell 2 to the front shell 1. Next, a groove 5021 is made on the front side of the rear shell 2, and a waterproof sealing gasket 5022 is embedded inside it to ensure the sealing performance at the connection point between the rear shell 2 and the front shell 1, thereby achieving waterproof and vapor-proof performance. Finally, a threaded sleeve 601 is welded to the right side of the rear shell 2 and positioned as a guide. The outer side of the wire terminal 303 is then connected to the threaded sleeve 601 by a hollow nut 602 and a protective sleeve 603, thereby protecting the wire terminal 303 with the hollow nut 602 and the protective sleeve 603. Finally, a sealing bottom sleeve 701 is bolted to the rear side of the rear housing 2, and a sealing ring 702 is glued to the front side of the sealing bottom sleeve 701 to seal the connection of the rear housing 2. Finally, the anti-static plate 703 set inside the sealing bottom sleeve 701 contacts the encoder body 301 inside the rear housing 2 to absorb the static electricity generated by the encoder body 301 during operation, thereby avoiding any impact on the encoder assembly 3.
