Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to speed sensing devices for rotating equipment and, in particular, to a speed sensing device that also detects rotational direction of the rotating equipment.
- Vehicle wheel speed sensor systems are well known. Rotational speed is used for numerous measurement devices and control systems, including vehicle speedometer readings, vehicle cruise control feedback, and vehicle antilock braking system feedback. Wheel speed sensors can be mounted in any of several locations, such as in wheel bearing assemblies, and in the differential.
- Speed sensor systems typically operate by means of a target mounted to rotated with the rotating equipment. This target is paired with, and is separated from, a stationary sensor by an air gap. The stationary sensor generates a signal when the target rotates past it. There are indices around the periphery of the target. The number of times the indices pass by the sensor, or the frequency of signals generated, in a given period of time, is then converted to a rotating speed and passed on to the appropriate measurement device or control system.
- Vehicle wheel speed sensing systems are typically grouped into two types, active sensor systems and passive sensor systems. Passive sensors do not require a power supply in order to operate.
- the stationary sensor is a permanent magnet that projects a magnetic field into the air gap.
- the stationary sensor detects a change in the magnetic field's reluctance caused by the moving target, typically a toothed wheel made of ferrous material, as it passes through the magnetic field.
- the output of the passive sensor is a raw analog signal that varies greatly with the rotational speed of the vehicle wheel.
- the output of the passive sensor is also susceptible to false signals when the wheel is subjected to vibration.
- passive sensors are limited to a close clearance air gap of about 1 to 2 mm.
- Active sensor systems represent the next generation technology to be utilized in vehicle wheel speed sensing devices. Active sensor systems typically utilize one of two technology devices, which are well known in the art as Hall Effect devices or Magneto-Resistive devices. The two technologies have been found to be comparable in terms of performance. Active sensor systems require a power supply to operate and are further divided into two categories, back-biased sensors and non back-biased sensors. Back-biased sensors generate the magnetic field from the stationary sensor, while the moving target, or encoder, is constructed of ferrous material, as in the passive sensor system. Non-back biased sensors, conversely, generate the magnetic field from the encoder.
- non back-biased stationary sensors do not need magnets, require correspondingly fewer components and are thus smaller than back-biased stationary sensors.
- Sensors installed in either back-biased or non back-biased form detect the frequency of the changes in voltage of the magnetic field, and direct the output to the appropriate measurement device or control system.
- the output of the active sensor, in either back-biased or non back-biased form is a high quality digital signal that varies between fixed values and is not affected by the rotational speed of the wheel.
- Active sensor control systems are smaller than passive sensor control systems, can function at zero and near zero rotational speed, are immune to false signals due to vibration, and are capable of having a greater air gap than passive stationary sensors.
- a drawback to the above mentioned systems is that while they can measure rotational velocity, they do not measure the direction of rotation. But, for rotational detection relating to vehicle wheels, direction detection is becoming important in addition to the common measurement of wheel rotational velocity. This need is arising due to improvements in existing as well as new features being proposed for vehicles, including anti-lock braking, traction control, vehicle stability control, electric park brake, electro-hydraulic braking, adaptive cruise control, integrated chassis control, and in-vehicle navigation. Furthermore, due to market pressures to reduce the cost of vehicles, such a system capable of detecting both rotational velocity and direction need to perform the functions required, in harsh environmental conditions, accurately and reliably, and yet for minimal additional cost.
- the present invention contemplates a rotational sensor system for detecting rotational velocity and rotational direction of a rotatable member rotatable in a forward and in a reverse rotational direction about an axis of rotation.
- the rotational sensor system includes a rotatable element adapted to operatively engage and rotate with the rotatable member about the axis of rotation, with the rotatable element having a generally circular periphery that includes means, spaced about the periphery, for creating magnetic field variations, first sensor means, adjacent to the periphery, for sensing variations in a magnetic field and producing an electric signal in response thereto, and second sensor means, adjacent to the periphery and circumferentially spaced about the periphery from said first sensor means, for sensing variations in a magnetic field and producing an electric signal in response thereto.
- the system also includes means for generating a magnetic field, means for receiving the electric signals from the first sensor means and second sensor means and detecting a phase shift between the signals from the first sensor means and the second sensor means, and means for generating an output signal indicative of rotational velocity and rotational direction of the rotatable element.

- the rotational sensor system includes a rotatable element adapted to operatively engage and rotate with the rotatable member about the axis of rotation, with the rotatable element having a generally circular periphery that includes means, spaced about the periphery, for creating magnetic field variations, first sensor means, adjacent to the periphery, for sensing variations in a magnetic field and producing an electric signal in response thereto, and second sensor means, adjacent to the periphery and circumferentially spaced about the periphery from said first sensor means, for sensing variations in a magnetic field and producing an electric signal in response thereto.

- the system further includes means for generating an output signal including a series of square waves having frequencies corresponding to the rotational velocity of the rotatable element and having amplitudes that are in a first range when the rotatable element is rotating in the forward direction and in a second range when the rotatable element is rotating in the reverse direction.
- an object of the present invention is to provide a relatively simple rotation sensing system that can detect rotational velocity, including near zero and zero rotational velocity, as well as rotational direction.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a rotational velocity and direction sensing system with a simple and reliable signal for its output protocol.
- An advantage of the present invention is that more information about a rotating member is reliably provided by the sensing system while minimizing the complexity of the system.
- Another advantage of the present invention is that it is relatively simple, meets functional requirements for measuring rotational velocity, even down to zero velocity, as well as rotational direction, while operating fast and reliably in harsh vehicle environments.

- Error protection is provided by including the dead band 62 between the signal levels for the forward rotation and the signal levels for the reverse rotational direction. With these signals, then, both the rotational velocity and the direction of rotation can be easily and reliably determined.
- This protocol produces a simple and unique signal for determining rotational direction in addition to the rotational velocity. Rather than encode a direction indicator at the beginning of a signal, this protocol changes the amplitude of levels for the square waves that are used to measure the rotational velocity.

- The above, as well as other advantages of the present invention, will become readily apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment when considered in the light of the accompanying drawings in which:
- FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a wheel rotational sensing system in accordance with the present invention;

- FIG. 5 is a graph illustrating an output signal for the sensor system with time on one axis and voltage on the other, in accordance with the present invention.
- Referring to FIG. 1, a vehicle wheel speed sensor system is shown generally at10, which detects the rotational velocity of a rotating
member 12, as it rotates about itsaxis 14. The axis ofrotation 14 has a forward and a reverse direction of rotation, as illustrated in FIG. 1. Mounted to themember 12, and oriented to rotate about theaxis 14 with themember 12, is atone ring 16. Thetone ring 16 is generally circular, made of a ferrous material, and includes a series ofteeth 18 protruding from and spaced about itsperiphery 20. - The
sensor system 10 also includes asensor assembly 22, which includes a first 24 and a second 26 Hall effect sensor. Both sensors are mounted adjacent to but spaced from theperiphery 20 andteeth 18. The radial distance between thetone ring 16 and thesensors sensors rotation 14, with thesecond sensor 26 spaced circumferentially about theperiphery 20 from thefirst sensor 24. Mounted adjacent to thesensors tone ring 16 is abiasing magnet 28. Thissensor assembly 22 is thus a back biased configuration. Thesensors electronic control unit 30, which receives the output from thesensors sensors sensors - Referring to FIG. 2, an alternate embodiment of the wheel
speed sensor system 110 is shown. In this embodiment, a magnetically encodedtarget wheel 116, rather than a tone ring, is mounted to the rotatingmember 12 about theaxis 14. About theperiphery 120 of thetarget wheel 116 is a series of alternately magnetically encodedteeth 118. The twoHall sensors sensor assembly 122, are mounted adjacent to and spaced from theteeth 118 of thetarget wheel 116. In this way, no magnet is needed to mount behind the twosensors sensor assembly 122 is a non-back biased configuration. The output signals, however, produced by thesensors sensors 124, 1126 are electrically connected to theelectronic control unit 30. - Referring to FIG. 3, a third embodiment of the present invention is shown. In this embodiment, wheel
speed sensor system 210 includes atarget wheel 116, as is shown in the second embodiment, that is mounted to the rotatingmember 12 about the axis ofrotation 14. Two separateHall effect sensors target wheel 116 and from each other. Thesensors electronic control unit 230, which processes the output signal from each of thesensors - Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, as they relate to FIG. 1, the operation of the wheel
speed sensor system 10 will be described. Although the operation of this system is being described in reference to the first embodiment, it is equally applicable to either of the other two embodiments. Power is supplied to the sensors when it is desired to measure the rotational velocity and direction of the rotatingmember 12. As themember 12 rotates, thus causing the teeth to pass by theHall effect sensors member 12 rotating in the forward direction is shown in FIG. 4. Afirst analog signal 40 is output from thefirst sensor 24, and asecond analog signal 42 is output from thesecond sensor 26, with thissecond signal 42 being phase shifted from the first. This phase shift allows the direction of rotation to be determined. For example, in FIG. 4, the analog signal shows the first signalhigh threshold 44 occurring just prior to the second signalhigh threshold 46, and of course the same with the low thresholds. If the second signal high threshold occurs just prior to the first signal high threshold, then this would indicate a reverse rotational direction. Once theseraw analog signals control unit 30, they can then be processed to produce a rotational velocity and direction signal protocol that is easy to read, accurate and reliable. - Referring to FIG. 5, an example of the protocol of the output signal will be discussed. The first two square waves50 shown fluctuate between a forward
high amplitude 52 and a forwardlow amplitude 54, indicative of forward rotation. The rotational velocity is based upon measuring the time between consecutive rising edges, or falling edges, of the square waves 50. The second twosquare waves 56 show an example of the signal for a reverse rotational direction. The reversehigh amplitude 58 and reverse low amplitude 60 values are both higher than theforward amplitudes dead band 62 between the amplitudes of the waves for the forward direction and that for the reverse direction. The direction of rotation is then based upon determining the amplitude for either the high 52, 58 or the low 54, 60 amplitudes of thesquare waves 50, 56. - Error protection is provided by including the
dead band 62 between the signal levels for the forward rotation and the signal levels for the reverse rotational direction. With these signals, then, both the rotational velocity and the direction of rotation can be easily and reliably determined. This protocol produces a simple and unique signal for determining rotational direction in addition to the rotational velocity. Rather than encode a direction indicator at the beginning of a signal, this protocol changes the amplitude of levels for the square waves that are used to measure the rotational velocity. - In accordance with the provisions of the patent statutes, the present invention has been described in what is considered to represent its preferred embodiment. However, it should be noted that the invention can be practiced otherwise than as specifically illustrated and described without departing from its spirit or scope. For example, the present invention could be utilized in numerous types of rotating equipment and, therefore, is not limited solely to applications in motor vehicles.
