Patent ID: 10852163

Abstract:
A rotation angle detection device including: a rotor; a stator including “b” (b≥3) magnetic detection portions (MDPs) each including a bias magnetic field generation portion and a magnetic detection element (MDE); and a rotation angle processor calculating a rotation angle of the rotor based on a detection by the (MDEs). The rotor has convex and concave portions (CCPs), which change in “x” cycles for a mechanical angle 360 (“x”≥1) to make the MDEs possible to obtain a sine wave. There are arranged “b” MDPs along a circumferential direction of the stator for each cycle of the CCPs, which are arranged at intervals of a mechanical angle 360×(n×b+m)/(x×b), where “n” (n≥0) represents, by a number of cycles, a deviation amount of each of the MDPs from a reference position in the circumferential direction, and “m” (1≤m≤“b”) represents a position of a MDP in an arrangement order.
