Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of split type encoder installation, especially an inductive encoder sensing assembly. BACKGROUND

[0002] The electromagnetic induction type encoder has the characteristics of resisting oil dirt, dust, moisture resistance, easy manufacturing and the like, and is more and more applied to the measurement of rotary or linear motion positions. A common absolute value inductive rotary position sensor is composed of a stator component and a rotor component, the stator component is composed of a PCB on which three groups of excitation coils and two groups of inductive coils with prime number of pole pairs are printed, and is represented as a main code channel M and a vernier code channel N (M>N, and prime to each other), the main code channel M is located between excitation coil 1 and excitation coil 2 arranged radially from outside to inside, and the vernier code channel is located between excitation coil 2 and excitation coil 3. The rotor is composed of a PCB on which corresponding copper foil arrays are printed. There are M and N copper foil arrays.

[0003] In order to ensure the radial offset tolerance of the rotor, the M code channel copper foil array and the N code channel copper foil array of the rotor of the conventional electromagnetic induction type encoder are all pressed to the area where the excitation coil is located.

[0004] Since the inductive coils on the stator assembly need to be led out to the calculation board, they are usually located on different layers of the PCB, so they need to be led out through vias.

These additional metal vias destroy the radial symmetry of the magnetic field distribution of the M code channel inductive coil on the stator, so that the influence of the rotor eccentricity on the position measurement accuracy becomes larger.

[0023] The utility model will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings.

[0024] One embodiment of the utility model discloses an inductive encoder sensing assembly, and specifically refers to Figures 1-5 Among them Figures 2-5 It is Figure 1 The local amplification.

[0025] The coil plate 1 adopts a 4-layer circular ring PCB multilayer plate as a coil plate substrate 10, wherein the third layer and the fourth layer of the coil plate substrate 10 are drawn with the excitation coil 11 and the induction coil 12.

[0026] The excitation coil 11 includes a first excitation coil 111, a second excitation coil 112 and a third excitation coil 113 arranged radially and concentrically from outside to inside on the coil plate substrate 10. Each group of excitation coils is wound with three turns of annular coils on the third layer and the fourth layer, the winding directions of the adjacent two groups of excitation coils 11 are opposite, and the annular induction space is formed between the two groups of excitation coils; the fourth layer excitation coil is drawn on the upper and lower of the third layer excitation coil orthographic projection; the three turns of annular coils of each group of excitation coils on the third layer and the fourth layer are connected together through the vias A1 at the tail of the completed drawing; the PCB wiring connection between the first excitation coil 111 and the second excitation coil 112 on the third layer and the fourth layer is connected in series through the layer changing holes B1, B2 and the layer changing holes C1, C2 respectively changing layers to the first layer and the second layer, and then through the PCB wiring connection. The PCB wiring connection between the second excitation coil 112 and the third excitation coil 113 on the third layer and the fourth layer is connected in series through the layer changing holes D1, D2 and the layer changing holes E1, E2 respectively changing layers to the first layer and the second layer. The PCB wiring of the third excitation coil 113 on the third layer and the fourth layer is changed to the first layer and the second layer through the layer changing holes F1 and F2, and is led out to the coil plate 1 lead pad on the first layer.

[0027] M code channel 121 is arranged on the induction space formed by the first excitation coil 111 and the second excitation coil 112, and N code channel 122 is arranged on the induction space formed by the second excitation coil 112 and the third excitation coil 113. Each code channel is composed of four sinusoidal curves in polar coordinates, showing sinusoidal periodicity. The number of periods of the M code channel 121 is greater than that of the N code channel 122, and the number of periods of the two code channels is co-prime. The positions of the four sinusoidal curves in polar coordinates are based on the 0° phase as the reference, with phase differences of 90°, 180° and 270°. The 0° and 180° curve combination SIN induction coil is used to generate the SIN induction coil signal, and the 180° and 270° combination generates the COS induction coil to generate the COS induction coil signal. Each sinusoidal curve is alternately arranged on the third layer and the fourth layer of the coil plate substrate 10. Each half period changes once every two layers, and each half period of each sinusoidal curve is located in the fourth layer, and the other half period is located in the third layer. The front half period overlaps at both ends of the orthogonal projection of the third layer and the other half period. In order to make the front half period and the other half period communicate, layer changing holes are arranged in the overlapping area. However, in order to lead out the signal of the M code channel 121 for processing, the SIN induction coil selects an overlapping area without placing a layer changing hole, but continues to overlap in the direction of the adjacent excitation coil 11, and after a small distance, it is pulled apart in the circumferential direction and placed layer changing holes H1 and H2 to change layers to the first layer of the coil plate substrate 10, and led out to the coil plate lead-out pad located on the first layer. The COS induction coil places layer changing holes H3 and H4 in the same way to change layers to the first layer of the coil plate substrate 10, and leads out to the coil plate lead-out pad located on the first layer.

The diameter of the pads should be the same as the diameter of the pads of each layer-change hole, namely: a1, b1, c2, c1, c2, d1, d2, e1, e2, f1, f2, h1, h2, h3, h4, k1, k2, k3, k4, and h5, h6, h7, h8, k5, k6, k7, k8.

Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the excitation coil 11 and the induction coil 12 projected onto the coil plate 1 by the M-track copper foil array 21 and the N-track copper foil array 22 on the code disk 2.

[0031] The peaks and troughs of the N-track induction coil 122 on the coil plate 1 are 0.8 mm away from the second excitation winding 112 and the third excitation 113, respectively. The layer-changing hole of the M-track induction coil 121 is 0.5 mm away from the first excitation coil 111 and the second excitation coil 112. The corresponding code disk 2 has an M-track copper foil array 21 and an N-track copper foil array 22 on its code disk substrate 20. The copper foil arrays are arranged in a ring, with fan-shaped metal copper foil and insulating medium spaced apart. The M-track copper foil array 21 and the N-track copper foil array 22 correspond one-to-one with the M-track 121 and the N-track 122 on the coil plate. In the operation of the inductive encoder, the rotor and stator need to be placed concentrically. The orthogonal projection of the M-track copper foil array 21 on the code disk 2 onto the coil plate 1 covers the M-track induction coil 121, and the arc edges of the fan-shaped copper foil overlap the first excitation coil 111 and the second excitation coil 112, respectively. The orthographic projection of the N-channel copper foil array 122 on the coil plate 1 covers the N-channel induction coil 122 but does not overlap with the second excitation coil 112 and the third excitation coil 113, but maintains a gap of 0.1 mm.
