[0032] The utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in combination with embodiments.

[0033] Referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 And Figure 3 As shown, the encoder 10 comprises a shell 11, a core assembly 12, a control circuit board 13, a shielding wire 14, a signal wire 15 and a metal guide wire 16.

[0034] The shell 11 is sleeved on the outer side of the core assembly 12, which can protect the core assembly 12. The core assembly 12 comprises a main body part 17. The materials of the shell 11 and the main body part 17 can be metal. In an embodiment, the core assembly 12 further comprises a main shaft 18 and a bearing 19. The main shaft 18 is used to connect with an external rotating structure, which can refer to the output shaft of a motor. The bearing 19 can be a ball bearing. The main body part 17 comprises a mounting cavity 20, and the bearing 19 is sleeved on the main shaft 18 and fixed to the inner wall of the mounting cavity 20, so that the main shaft 18 is rotatably arranged in the mounting cavity 20. The bearing 19 is used to realize the rotation of the main shaft 18 relative to the main body part 17. The control circuit board 13 is arranged above the core assembly 12 and located in the shell 11. The control circuit board 13 can realize the control of the encoder 10.

[0035] The first end of the shielding wire 14 and the first end of the signal wire 15 are connected to the control circuit board 13, and the first end of the shielding wire 14 and the first end of the signal wire 15 can be connected to the control circuit board 13 by welding. The second end of the shielding wire 14 and the second end of the signal wire 15 form a wire harness 21 and extend outward.

[0036] The material of the metal guide wire 16 can be copper, which has good electrical conductivity and flexibility. In an embodiment, the diameter of the metal guide wire 16 is 0.5mm-1mm. The length of the metal guide wire 16 is 10mm-20mm, which can ensure stable performance during long-term use of the metal guide wire 16. The first end of the metal guide wire 16 is connected to the control circuit board 13 and connected to the first end of the shielding wire 14 through the wire 22 in the control circuit board 13 (such as a wire). Figure 3The first end of the metal wire 16 can be connected to the control circuit board 13 by welding, which ensures the close connection between the first end of the metal wire 16 and the internal circuit of the control circuit board 13, improves the stability and reliability of signal transmission, and enhances the performance of the encoder 10. The second end of the metal wire 16 is interference-fitted between the shell 11 and the main body 17, so that the shell 11 is connected to the shield wire 14 through the metal wire 16. The shell 11 and the main body 17 can have a gap, and the second end of the metal wire 16 can be interference-fitted in the gap, so that the metal wire 16 is interference-fitted between the shell 11 and the main body 17. The interference fit can continuously provide contact pressure and will not loosen or have poor contact due to the extension of the use time or changes in environmental factors, so that the connection between the metal wire 16 and the shell 11 and the connection between the metal wire 16 and the main body 17 are more stable and reliable, prolonging the service life of the encoder 10. Without making large-scale changes to the original structure of the encoder 10, the manufacturing cost and process complexity are reduced, which is conducive to improving production efficiency and reducing production cost. The shield wire 14 is connected to the first end of the metal wire 16 through the lead 22 of the control circuit board 13, and is connected to the main body 17 and the shell 11 through the second end of the metal wire 16 that is interference-fitted between the shell 11 and the main body 17, thereby completing the conduction of the shield wire 14 signal. Without the need for a fixed screw, the shield wire 14 can be effectively conducted, and the structure is simpler. Thus, the shield wire 14 can be used to prevent the signal wire 15 from being affected by external electromagnetic interference, greatly reducing the errors and failures of the encoder 10 caused by signal interference, and improving the working reliability of the encoder 10. At the same time, the good conductivity of the metal wire 16 can more effectively shield external electromagnetic interference and ensure stable transmission of the encoder 10 signal, and can be applied to different types and specifications of encoders 10, providing more flexibility and selection space for the design and manufacture of the encoder 10.

[0037] In an embodiment, the length of the metal wire 16 at the contact between the second end and the main body 17 is greater than or equal to 2 mm, so that the shield wire 14 has good conduction effect and the encoder 10 has high use reliability. Figure 1 In the embodiment shown, the metal wire 16 is first bent and then extends in the vertical direction from the first end to the second end, so that the contact between the second end of the metal wire 16 and the main body 17 is a straight line with a length H≥2 mm.

[0038] In one embodiment, the core component 12 further comprises a light source 23 and a grating 24. The grating 24 is sleeved on the main shaft 18 and located between the light source 23 and the control circuit board 13. The grating 24 can rotate synchronously with the main shaft 18. The light source 23 is arranged on the main body 17 and faces the grating 24. The light beam emitted by the light source 23 can irradiate on the grating 24. When the grating 24 rotates synchronously with the main shaft 18, the state of the grating 24 of blocking light or transmitting light can be changed, thereby generating different light signals.

[0039] In one embodiment, the first end of the metal wire 16 is connected to the side of the control circuit board 13 away from the grating 24 and extends downward between the shell 11 and the main body 17 after being bent. In this way, the contact area between the metal wire 16 and the shell 11 is large, so that the arrangement of the metal wire 16 is more compact and reasonable.

[0040] In one embodiment, the main body 17 is provided with a recessed portion 25 which is recessed downward from the upper surface of the main body 17. The second end of the metal wire 16 and the shell 11 are located in the recessed portion 25, and the second end of the metal wire 16 is clamped between the shell 11 and the inner wall of the recessed portion 25 in an interference fit, so that the fixing effect of the second end of the metal wire 16 is better. Figure 1 In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the recessed portion 25 is located at the outer edge of the main body 17.

[0041] It should be understood that the above-described various forms of processes can be reordered, added or deleted. For example, the steps described in the present disclosure can be executed in parallel, sequentially or in different orders, as long as the desired results of the technical solutions of the present disclosure can be achieved, which are not limited herein.

[0042] The above detailed description does not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the present disclosure. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications, combinations, sub-combinations and substitutions can be made according to design requirements and other factors. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present disclosure shall be included in the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
