[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the present invention.

[0027] The structures, proportions, and sizes illustrated in the accompanying drawings are merely for illustrative purposes and to aid those skilled in the art. They are not intended to limit the scope of this invention and therefore have no substantial technical significance. Any modifications to the structure, changes in proportions, or adjustments to size, provided they do not affect the effectiveness or purpose of this invention, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed herein. Furthermore, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "middle," and "one" used in this specification are merely for clarity and not intended to limit the scope of this invention.

[0028] like Figs. 1 to 4 As shown, a preferred embodiment of a bidirectional encoder is presented, characterized in that it includes: a sensing stator 1, a fixing part 2, a first sensing rotor 4, and a second sensing rotor 6.

[0029] A fixing part 2 is mounted on one surface of the sensing stator 1.

[0030] In practical use, axial inductance and radial inductance are simply relative relationships between the sensing coil and the rotor.

A fixing part 2 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the sensing stator 1. A first coil 3 is mounted on the inner wall of the fixing part 2. The rotation of the first sensing rotor 4 drives the first conductor 5 to rotate, generating an alternating eddy current magnetic field. This changes the magnetic flux of the first coil 3, thus generating a voltage signal and achieving radial inductance. A second coil is located at the lower end of the sensing stator 1. The rotation of the second sensing rotor 6 drives the second conductor 7 to rotate, generating an alternating eddy current magnetic field. This changes the magnetic flux of the second coil, thus generating a voltage signal and achieving axial inductance. Both sides of the sensing stator 1 in this device can move, generating different inductances. Furthermore, the radial inductance in this device is achieved with the sensing source on the inner side and the inductance coil on the outer side.

Specifically, when the external rotating shaft rotates, the second sensing rotor 6 is driven to rotate through the second arc-shaped portion 12 and the first annular portion 11, thereby driving the second conductor 7 to rotate. Furthermore, both the first fixing member 9 and the second fixing member 17 can be screws or the like.
