  • Publication number: 20040150390
    Abstract: A detector for detecting rotational speed of a vehicle wheel includes a detector element disposed in a housing and a lead wire for sending output signals of the detector element to an outside device. An output terminal of the detector element is electrically connected to the lead wire by tungsten inert gas welding. The housing and the lead wire are molded together with a resin material that forms an outer wall of the detector. Since the lead wire and the output terminal are connected by the tungsten inert gas welding, the junction is protected from any damages due to pressure and heat generated in the molding process.

  • Patent number: 6492804
    Abstract: The rotation of a rotating magnet is detected by magnetic sensors. The rotational speed is detected from pulse signals detected by magnetic sensors, and the rotational direction is detected from the difference in a shift in phase. Signals different in pulse width are generated according to the rotational direction. A signal selection circuit outputs a pulse signal with timing for the rotational speed. A rotational speed determining circuit outputs a decision signal Sf of a high level when the rotational speed reaches a predetermined speed. When a self-diagnostic circuit determines that the magnetic sensors have malfunctioned, a binary error code generating circuit generates an error signal Sg and a 4-bit error code signal Sh. When the signal Sf of the rotating magnet is brought to a high level, the signal selection circuit outputs an error code signal and allows output an output current Is.

    Abstract: The rotation of a rotating magnet is detected by magnetic sensors. The rotational speed is detected from pulse signals detected by magnetic sensors, and the rotational direction thereof is detected from the difference in the way of making a shift in phase. Signals different in pulse width are generated according to the rotational direction. A signal selection circuit outputs a corresponding pulse signal with timing for the rotational speed. A rotational speed determining circuit outputs a decision signal Sf of a high level when the rotational speed reaches a predetermined speed. When a self-diagnostic circuit determines that the magnetic sensors have malfunctioned, a binary error code generating circuit generates an error signal Sg and a 4-bit error code signal Sh.
