[0027] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0031] In this embodiment, the Hall element 2 and the magnetic conductive sheet 3 are both positioned and installed on the bracket 1, and the two are accurately positioned and reliably connected through the bracket 1; the magnetic conductive sheet 3 is located between the bracket 1 and the magnetic field of the rotor 6, and can transmit magnetic signals between the rotor 6 and the Hall element 2 to meet the Hall sensing requirements at different distances between the rotor 6 and the Hall element 2. Of course, for different types of motors, different magnetic conductive sheets 3 need to be set according to the relative positions of the rotor 6 and the Hall element 2.

[0032] In summary, the Hall sensor assembly provided in the present application uses a bracket 1 to fix the Hall element 2 and the magnetic conductive sheet 3, so that the Hall element 2 and the magnetic conductive sheet 3 can be accurately positioned and reliably connected in the motor. Among them, one end of the magnetic conductive sheet 3 is closely attached to the Hall element 2 through the bracket 1 and the other end extends into the magnetic field of the rotor 6. Therefore, no matter how the relative positions of the Hall element 2 and the rotor 6 are in the motor, the Hall sensing requirements of the Hall element 2 and the rotor 6 can always be met, including but not limited to the long-distance sensing of the Hall element 2 and the rotor 6.
