[0021] The specific implementation of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Example: Figure 1-4 As shown, the utility model discloses an embodiment of an angle sensing device, which includes: a base 1000 having a base cavity 1020, a cover 1200 connected to the base 1000 and closing one end of the base cavity 1020, a rotating shaft portion 2000 located in the base cavity 1020 and having an axis cavity 2020 and a magnet placement cavity 2040, a magnet 2400 located in the magnet placement cavity 2040, and a control board 3000 located in the base cavity 1020 and having a sensing chip 3200, wherein the sensing chip 3200 and the magnet 2400 sense each other and obtain an angle sensing signal.

[0023] The base 1000 includes a shaft receiving chamber 1040 located in the base cavity 1020 and accommodating the shaft portion 2000 and the torsion spring 4000, wherein the cover body 1200 and the peripheral side of the base 1000 are ultrasonically welded to ensure that the base cavity 1020 is isolated and sealed from the outside, avoiding the use of an O-ring, preventing the intrusion of rainwater or foreign objects from the outside, and ensuring reliable operation.

[0024] The shaft portion 2000 is disposed within the shaft receiving chamber 1040, and the shaft cavity 2020 and the magnet placement cavity 2040 are independently disposed, and the shaft cavity 2020 is used to accommodate the mating shaft. The central axis of the shaft cavity 2020 and the central axis of the magnet placement cavity 2040 are aligned in the same straight line. The shaft portion 2000 is provided with a plurality of positioning protrusions 2060 located outside the magnet placement cavity 2040, and the magnet placement cavity 2040 is used to place a magnet 2400, wherein the magnet 2400 is a rectangular permanent magnet having an N pole and an S pole. More preferably, the magnet 2400 is a square permanent magnet to avoid the magnet position offset that occurs when magnets of other shapes are used in the past, resulting in abnormal angular output.

[0025] The control board 3000 is provided with a sensing chip 3200 and a single-chip microcomputer electrically connected to the sensing chip 3200, wherein the sensing chip 3200 and the magnet 2400 mutually sense each other to obtain an angle sensing signal. Preferably, the sensing chip 3200 is a Hall effect sensing chip. The control board 3000 is fixed to the base 1000 by screws 5200. One end of the terminal 3400 is connected to the control board 3000, while the other end is exposed and electrically connected to the external circuit. The extension direction of the terminal 3400 is perpendicular to the central axis direction of the rotating shaft portion 2000. The control board 3000 is provided with a plurality of through holes. The screws pass through some of the through holes.

[0026] This embodiment also includes a torsion spring 4000 with one end fixed to the shaft portion 2000 and sleeved around the shaft portion 2000, and the other end fixed within the shaft receiving chamber 1040, as well as a shaft cover 2200 that shields the magnet housing cavity 2040. The shaft cover 2200 has several fixing posts 2240 on one end and an annular positioning groove on the other end that mates with the positioning protrusion 2060. The fixing posts 2240 are positioned to correspond to the perforations in the control board 3000, and the perforations allow the fixing posts 2240 to pass through. This secures the shaft cover 2200 to the control board 3000, and allows the shaft portion 2000 to rotate relative to the shaft cover 2200 and be axially connected. The torsion spring 4000 effectively reduces the gap with the mating shaft in the application environment, resulting in a more stable sensor angle output.

[0027] The resin portion 5000 is axially positioned between the cover 1200 and the shaft cover 2200. It is integrally injection-molded with the control board 3000, ensuring reliable operation of the control board 3000 and preventing intrusion of rainwater. Furthermore, the shaft cover 2200 and base 1000 utilize a tight-fitting structure, isolating the shaft housing 1040 during epoxy resin encapsulation, preventing the epoxy from entering. This internal epoxy encapsulation forms the resin portion 5000 as the primary seal, followed by a secondary seal achieved through ultrasonic welding between the cover 1200 and base 1000. This fully ensures the product's tightness and long lifespan.

[0028] During operation, a matching shaft is inserted into the shaft cavity 2020 of the rotating shaft part 2000, and then the matching shaft starts to rotate at high speed, driving the rotating shaft part 2000 to rotate, and causing the magnet 2400 to rotate accordingly, thereby forming a rotating and changing magnetic field. The sensing chip 3200 of the control board 3000 feeds back a signal to the microcontroller based on the changing magnetic field signal, thereby realizing the angle sensing signal output.

[0029] The advantages of the utility model are: the sensing angle output is more stable, the problem of abnormal angle output is solved, the measurement accuracy of the sensor is improved, and the internal epoxy resin is potted to ensure the product sealing, prevent the intrusion of external rainwater, and ensure reliability.

[0030] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with this technical field can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the creative concept of the present invention, which should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
