Patent number: 8912794Abstract: An angle detecting device has a combined structure of plural resolvers, but is simple and is easily produced, and has redundancy reducing the risk of failure. The angle detecting device has two resolvers which are combined in the axial direction and has a stator core 100. The stator core 100 is formed by laminating a first stator core 103 on a second stator core 104. The first stator core 103 is provided with plural salient poles 101 which extend to a center of an axis. The second stator core 104 is provided with plural salient poles 102 which extend to the center of the axis. The salient poles 101 and 102 differ in position when viewed from the axial direction, and the salient poles 102 are positioned between the adjacent salient poles 101 when viewed from the axial direction.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2012Date of Patent: December 16, 2014Assignee: Minebea Co., Ltd.Inventors: Mutsumi Matsuura, Takashi Sano, Kazuki Miyao, Ryuta Sakamoto

Patent number: 8692542Abstract: A VR resolver with a shaft angle multiplier of 3× has a rotor core 104 that is provided with magnetic poles 104a and 104b, which project in a radial direction, and a magnetic pole 104c, which does not project in a radial direction. The VR resolver also has a stator core 101 provided with salient poles 102c and 102e that are wound with a cosine wave detection wire and that are connected. A zero point detecting terminal is led from the cosine wave detection wire between the cosine winding wound portions of the salient poles 102c and 102e. The zero point detecting terminal provides a voltage waveform. By setting a threshold value for the voltage waveform, an absolute angle of the rotor core 104 is measured.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2012Date of Patent: April 8, 2014Assignee: Mineba Co., Ltd.Inventors: Mutsumi Matsuura, Takaaki Ochiai
