Abstract
Description

[0002] The torque sensor comprises a rotating assembly and a magnet assembly. The magnet assembly is connected to the output shaft, and the rotating assembly is connected to the input shaft. A torsion bar is positioned between the input and output shafts. The relative position of the magnet assembly and the rotating assembly determines the duty cycle and phase of the sensor's output signal. When the steering wheel is in the straight-line position, the relative position of the magnet assembly and the rotating assembly is at the center, and the output signal duty cycle is 50%. When the steering wheel is turned left or right, the magnet ring assembly and the rotating body generate torque, resulting in a relative angular displacement, and the output signal duty cycle ranges from 12.5% to 87.5%.
[0003] Both the rotating component and the magnet component have positioning notches on their shaft fixing sleeves. The position of the gear ring of the rotating component is based on its positioning notch, and the magnetic pole of the magnet ring of the magnet component is positioned based on its positioning notch.

Detailed Implementation
[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Example 1
[0022] like Figure 1 and 5 As shown, a positioning device for a torque sensor includes a worktable 1, with a positioning platform 2 fixed to the upper end of the worktable 1. The positioning platform 2 has a horizontal positioning hole 3, and a coaxial positioning groove 4 is provided on the outer side of the horizontal positioning hole 3. The output shaft 16 of the torque sensor is horizontally inserted into the positioning hole 3, and the positioning groove 4 corresponds to a boss 5 on the output shaft 16, with the boss 5 placed inside the positioning groove 4.
[0023] The worktable 1 on the right side of the positioning hole 3 is provided with a first positioning component 6, a second positioning component 7 and a clamping component 8. The first positioning component 6, the second positioning component 7 and the clamping component 8 are on the same horizontal straight line. The first positioning component 6 and the second positioning component 7 both include a horizontally sliding positioning rod 9. The upper end of the positioning rod 9 is provided with a vertically elastically telescopic positioning block 10. The lower end of the positioning block 10 is fixed with a guide rod 11. The lower end of the guide rod 11 passes through the support spring 12 and slides inside the positioning rod 9.
[0024] like Figure 5 and 6 As shown, the torque sensor includes a rotating assembly 13 and a magnet assembly 14. Both the rotating assembly 13 and the magnet assembly 14 have positioning notches 15 on their shaft fixing sleeves. The magnet assembly 14 is connected to the output shaft 16, and the rotating assembly 13 is connected to the input shaft 17. A torsion bar 18 is provided between the output shaft 16 and the input shaft 17. A first positioning component 6 engages with the positioning notch 15 of the magnet assembly 14, and a second positioning component 7 engages with the positioning notch 15 of the rotating assembly 13.
[0025] A positioning spacer block 19 is fixed to the right side of the positioning rod 9 of the first positioning component 6. The positioning spacer block 19 limits the shortest distance between the first positioning component 6 and the second positioning component 7, thereby positioning the position of the magnet component 14 within the rotating component 13.
[0026] The clamping assembly 8 includes a horizontally sliding clamping seat that clamps and supports the input shaft 17. The clamping seat is coaxially arranged with the positioning hole 3.
[0027] The method of using the positioning device is as follows: Place the positioning notch 15 of the magnet assembly 14 on the positioning block 10 of the first positioning assembly 6, and then push the first positioning assembly 6 and the magnet assembly 14 horizontally so that the output shaft 16 is inserted into the positioning hole 3; place the positioning notch 15 of the rotating assembly 13 on the positioning block 10 of the second positioning assembly 7, clamp the input shaft 17, and then push the input shaft 17 and the second positioning assembly 7 so that they move closer to the magnet assembly 14. The positioning rod 9 of the second positioning assembly 7 abuts against the positioning spacer 19 and stops moving. The magnet assembly 14 is placed inside the rotating assembly 13.
[0028] Example 2
[0029] This embodiment is basically the same as Embodiment 1, except that the clamping seat includes a horizontally sliding lower arc-shaped seat 20, and an openable upper arc-shaped seat 21 is provided at the upper end of the lower arc-shaped seat 20. A vertical lifting cylinder 22 is fixed to one end of the lower arc-shaped seat 20, and the upper arc-shaped seat 21 is fixed to the upper end of the lifting cylinder 22. By extending the lifting cylinder 22, the upper arc-shaped seat 21 is moved upward, thereby opening the upper arc-shaped seat 21 and placing the input shaft 17 inside the lower arc-shaped seat 20. Then, the lifting cylinder 22 retracts, causing the upper arc-shaped seat 21 to move downward, clamping the input shaft 17.
[0030] The clamping seat can also be other structures, such as the front end of the upper arc-shaped seat 21 being hinged to the front end of the lower arc-shaped seat 20, the rear end of the upper arc-shaped seat 21 being hinged to a locking bolt, and the rear end of the lower arc-shaped seat 20 being provided with an opening groove, through which the locking bolt passes and is connected to the locking nut. By loosening the locking nut and removing the locking bolt from the opening groove, the upper arc-shaped seat 21 and the lower arc-shaped seat 20 can be opened.
[0031] Example 3
[0032] This embodiment is basically the same as Embodiment 1 or 2, except that a horizontal guide rail 23 is provided at the upper end of the worktable 1, and the lower ends of the positioning rod 9 and the clamping seat slide along the horizontal guide rail 23. The horizontal guide rail 23 limits the movement path of the first positioning component 6, the second positioning component 7 and the clamping seat, so that they move in the same straight line.
[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
