Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of wiper motors, and particularly relates to a rotation measurement structure applied to brushless wiper motors. Background Technology

[0002] Brushless wiper motors are a new type of motor technology that has been widely used in the automotive industry in recent years. Traditional wiper motors mostly use brushed DC motors, which generally suffer from the following problems: Short wear and lifespan: Mechanical friction exists between the brushes and commutator in brushed motors, causing the brushes to wear out quickly and requiring regular replacement, increasing maintenance costs. Noise issues: The friction between the brushes and commutator generates noticeable noise, affecting driving comfort. Unstable speed: Traditional motors have low speed control precision, making it difficult to achieve accurate speed adjustment. High energy consumption: Brushed motors have relatively low efficiency and consume more energy. Brushless wiper motors, compared to brushed DC motors, improve upon many of these shortcomings.

[0003] However, the accuracy of rotation measurement in brushless wiper motors directly affects their control performance and application effects. High-precision rotation measurement can achieve precise position control, stable speed control, and optimized dynamic performance. Current methods for measuring the rotation of brushless wiper motors primarily involve placing Hall effect sensors on the motor stator to detect the position of the rotor's magnetic poles. When the rotor rotates, the Hall sensor outputs pulse signals. By counting the number of pulses and calculating the pulse frequency, the motor's speed and position information can be obtained. However, this method is limited in accuracy by the resolution of the Hall sensor. Furthermore, energy loss inevitably occurs when the motor transmits power from the drive end to the output end. Current technologies only measure the motor's rotation, and the actual rotation at the output end is lower than the detected value. This error directly affects the measured rotation value of the brushless wiper motor, thus impacting high-precision control. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a rotation measurement structure for brushless wiper motors. Utility Model Content

The advantages and features of this utility model will become clearer from the following description and claims.

[0034] Example

[0035] See Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment provides a rotation measurement structure for a brushless wiper motor. The overall structure can be divided into a housing, a drive mechanism, and an output mechanism. The drive mechanism and output mechanism are housed within the housing. Figure 1 As shown, part of the outer shell is hidden, allowing a direct view of its internal structure.

[0036] See Figure 1 and Figure 2The drive mechanism is described below. It includes a transmission rod 8, a first measuring component, a stator 4, a rotor 5, an iron core 7, and a magnet 6. The rotor 5 is located inside the drive mechanism, with a first circular through-hole at its center. The iron core 7 is housed within this through-hole, and one end of the iron core 7 is connected to the transmission rod 8. The magnet 6 is attached to the side of the rotor 5, while the stator 4 is attached to the inner wall of the outer casing and corresponds to the magnet 6. One end of the transmission rod extends into the drive mechanism (which can be understood as a rotating part) and is connected to the iron core 7. The other end of the transmission rod is connected to the output mechanism. The stator 4 of the drive mechanism is a coil winding armature, and the magnet 6 and rotor 5 together form a permanent magnet rotor. During operation, the rotor 5 drives the iron core 7, causing the transmission rod 8 to rotate around its own axis.

[0037] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the first measuring component includes a first magnetic ring 2 and a first Hall sensor. The first magnetic ring 2 is sleeved on the transmission rod 8 and positioned near the drive mechanism. The first Hall sensor is positioned close to the first magnetic ring 2. The first Hall sensor and the first magnetic ring 2 cooperate to measure the rotation angle of the transmission rod 8 in real time. Further, a mounting bracket 3 is provided inside the housing and along the path of the transmission rod 8. The mounting bracket 3 is fixed inside the housing and is used to mount the aforementioned first Hall sensor circuit board 1, on which the first Hall sensor is mounted. The top of the aforementioned first Hall sensor circuit board 1 has an inwardly recessed notch, through which the transmission rod 8 passes and is connected to the output mechanism. Specifically, the first magnetic ring 2 is sleeved on the transmission rod 8, positioned between the first Hall sensor circuit board 1 and the iron core 7, and positioned close to the first Hall sensor circuit board 1.

[0038] See Figure 3The output mechanism includes an output rod 9, a second measuring component, a transmission gear 10, a metal support plate, and a second Hall sensor circuit board 11. The second Hall sensor circuit board 11 is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the output mechanism inside the housing, and a second Hall sensor 12 is mounted on the second Hall sensor circuit board 11. The metal support plate is located above the second Hall sensor circuit board 11 and is fixedly connected to the housing. A second circular through hole is opened in the center of the metal support plate, through which the output rod 9 passes, allowing for rotation. The metal support plate limits the output rod 9 to prevent it from shifting during rotation. The transmission gear 10 is located above the metal support plate, with a third circular through hole opened in its center, through which the output rod 9 passes. The outer edge of the transmission gear 10 is toothed, and the side of the transmission rod 8 connected to the transmission gear 10 is helical, allowing the transmission rod 8 to mesh with the transmission gear 10. The transmission gear 10 rotates under the drive of the transmission rod 8, thus causing the transmission rod 8 to rotate as well.

[0039] See Figure 3 Specifically, the second measuring component includes a second magnetic ring 2 and a second Hall sensor 12. The second magnetic ring 2 is sleeved on the end of the output rod 9 and close to the input end of the output rod 9. The second Hall sensor 12 is not only mounted on the second Hall sensor circuit board 11, but also positioned correspondingly to the second magnetic ring 2. Through the interaction of the second Hall sensor 12 and the second magnetic ring 2, the rotation angle of the output rod 9 can be measured in real time. Preferably, the second Hall sensor circuit board 11 also integrates a main control chip, which is configured to receive the rotation signals collected by the first Hall sensor and the second Hall sensor 12.
