Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of position sensor technology, and more specifically, to a position sensor with a Hall structure. Background Technology
[0002] Position sensors are mainly used in industrial automation, especially in applications where precise control of fluid flow (such as gas, liquid, etc.) is required. Their main function is to precisely control the position of valves, thereby regulating the flow of fluid.
[0003] Traditional position sensor drive modules often consist of piezoelectric valves, which are piezoelectric switches such as potentiometers or photoelectric encoders. These valves input air pressure into the regulating valve diaphragm in a switching manner. However, they suffer from drawbacks such as relatively short lifespan due to mechanical wear, poor waterproofing, low environmental tolerance, and low installation accuracy. Utility Model Content

[0006] A position sensor with a Hall effect structure;
[0007] The Hall effect position sensor includes a housing, with a through hole at the upper end of the housing. A rotating shaft is disposed within the through hole and is movably connected to a valve actuator. A magnetic material is disposed at the end of the rotating shaft. A Hall chip is disposed in the cavity of the housing, in a non-contact manner opposite to the magnetic material, for detecting changes in the magnetic field of the magnetic material and outputting an electrical signal to an external control circuit. One end of the Hall chip is electrically connected to a wire.
[0008] Furthermore, a sealing structure is provided between the rotating shaft and the through hole at the upper end of the housing to prevent moisture and dust from entering the detection area.
[0009] Furthermore, a sealing ring is provided at the circumferential contact portion between the sealing structure and the rotating shaft.
[0010] Furthermore, the Hall chip and the wire are connected by the positive terminal of the wire, the negative terminal of the wire, and a connecting wire, respectively.
[0011] Furthermore, the Hall chip, the positive terminal of the wire, the negative terminal of the wire, and the external surface of the connecting wire are provided with a first encapsulation structure for improving waterproof and shockproof performance. The first encapsulation structure is an epoxy resin potting layer.
[0012] Furthermore, the upper and lower end faces of the housing portion having through holes are both provided with a second plastic sealing structure.
[0013] Furthermore, the sealing structure includes a waterproof coating, a metal shielding layer, and an O-ring.
[0014] Furthermore, the relative positions of the magnetic material and the Hall chip can be adjusted.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Through the optimized and improved design of the product, the position sensor achieves high precision, fast response and reliable operation in valve control. The combination of the piezoelectric valve and the magnetic feedback system realizes non-contact position feedback and high-speed response, and has a sealed structure and shock resistance. This reduces mechanical wear, improves positioning accuracy, enhances the control accuracy of industrial automation systems, improves energy efficiency and extends equipment lifespan, and improves the waterproof performance and stability of the sensor in outdoor environments.
