  • Patent number: 6873074
    Abstract: Disclosed is a terminal connection structure of a resolver stator coil in which a part of the end portion of the stator coil is left as a free end portion which is free with respect to the terminals, whereby external impact is absorbed, and rupture of the stator coil is prevented, thereby achieving an improvement in reliability. An end portion (3) of a stator coil (1) is wound around terminals (4) to form a winding connection portion (5), and a part of the end portion (3) is left as a free end portion (30) which is not integrally connected to the terminals (4) by soldering or fusing, whereby a spring function is obtained.

  • Patent number: 6608573
    Abstract: The present invention provides an automatic resolution changing method and circuit for use in a high-precision digital conversion of two-phase sinusoidal wave signals. The angular velocity (d&phgr;/dt) of the rotor obtained from the difference between these two-phase sinusoidal wave signals is integrated by a counter. Subsequently, digital conversion of the rotation angle (&thgr;) of the rotor with respect to the stator is performed, and a result of the digital conversion is outputted. At this time, in the case where the angular velocity (d&phgr;/dt) is equal to or higher than a first percentage of the follow-up speed at the current resolution of the counter, the resolution of the counter is reduced. Further, in the case where the angular velocity (d&phgr;/dt) is equal to or lower than a second percentage of the follow-up speed at the current resolution of the counter, the resolution of the counter is increased.
