A mold for insert molding, which houses an electronic unit including a first circuit portion and a second circuit portion protruding from the first circuit portion, is prepared. The mold includes an upper wall surface facing an upper surface of the second circuit portion and side wall surfaces facing side surfaces of the second circuit portion. The flow resistance of a resin flowing through a space between each side surface of the second circuit portion and the corresponding side wall surface is lower than that of the resin flowing through a space between the upper surface of the second circuit portion and the upper wall surface. Then, the electronic unit is placed in the mold. Then, the resin is injected into the mold in which the electronic unit has been placed. Thus, the electronic unit and the housing in which the electronic unit is housed are integrated with each other.

Method of manufacturing housing structure and housing structure

A torque detecting apparatus includes an annular magnetic flux collecting ring, a magnetic flux collecting holder surrounding and holding the magnetic flux collecting ring, and a magnetic shield including a circumferential end and attached to the outer periphery of the magnetic flux collecting holder. The magnetic flux collecting holder includes a housing portion that houses in its inner space the circumferential end of the magnetic shield. The housing portion includes an outer wall radially inwardly facing an outer peripheral surface of the circumferential end of the magnetic shield such that a first clearance is provided between the housing portion and the outer peripheral surface of the circumferential end of the magnetic shield.

Torque detecting apparatus and method for manufacturing the same

A torque detector includes: a magnetic flux collecting unit including a magnetic flux collecting holder formed in an annular shape by resin molding and a magnetic shield formed by bending a metal plate and attached to an outer peripheral face of the magnetic flux collecting holder; and a sensor housing formed integrally with the magnetic flux collecting unit. The magnetic shield has a shield body, a shield end portion, and a bent portion. A second angle formed between an outer side face of the shield end portion and a radial direction is smaller than a first angle formed between an outer peripheral face of the shield body and the radial direction.
