Latest Patents
Matsuzaki's latest patents include a multirotation type encoder. This invention features a first encoder attached to a rotating shaft of a rotating machine, which detects an absolute value rotational angle within one rotation. Additionally, it includes a second encoder that counts the multirotation amount of the rotating shaft using a speed-reducing mechanism through magnetic coupling. The second encoder consists of a first magnetic gear directly connected to the rotating shaft and magnetized in multiple poles, along with at least one second magnetic gear arranged in opposition and magnetized in multiple poles. This innovative design allows for accurate counting of the multirotation amount by detecting the rotational angle of the second magnetic gear.
Another notable patent is a rotating angle detector and apparatus for detecting the rotating position of a rotor. This invention comprises magnetic field generating means that rotate integrally with the detected member, generating a uniform magnetic field in one direction perpendicularly to the rotating axis. It features at least two magnetic sensors that generate one sine wave for each rotation of the magnetic field generating means. The design also allows for the connection of input current terminals in series, enhancing the functionality of the device.
