Abstract

Abstract A speed detector for use with a miniature DC motor is disclosed wherein a device such as coils or Hall generators for detecting the magnitude and direction of leakage flux are placed in opposed relationship with at least one pair of field poles of the DC motor, so that an output signal having a frequency proportional to an integral multiple of the number of slots of the armature may be derived.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 98 words
A speed detector for use with a miniature DC motor comprising a. a field pole assembly made of permanent magnet material, b. an armature having said field pole assembly and having slots, c. detecting means for detecting the magnitudes and directions of the leakage fluxes from said field pole assembly, said detecting means being placed at least two positions in opposed relation with the N- and S-poles of said field pole assembly and remote from the area between the field pole assembly and the armature, thereby deriving a speed signal from the output terminals of said detecting means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 98 words
A speed detector for use with a miniature DC motor comprising a. a field pole assembly made of permanent magnet material, b. an armature having said field pole assembly and having slots, c. detecting means for detecting the magnitudes and directions of the leakage fluxes from said field pole assembly, said detecting means being placed at least two positions in opposed relation with the N- and S-poles of said field pole assembly and remote from the area between the field pole assembly and the armature, thereby deriving a speed signal from the output terminals of said detecting means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 55 words
A speed detector for use with a miniature DC motor as set forth in claim 1 wherein said detecting means are connected in series with the same polarity, whereby an output signal having a frequency proportional to the number of slots of said armature may be derived from the output terminals of said detecting means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 55 words
A speed detector for use with a miniature DC motor as set forth in claim 1 wherein said detecting means are connected in series with opposite polarities, whereby an output signal having a frequency proportional to twice the number of slots of said armature may be derived from the output terminals of said detecting means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 62 words
A speed detector for use with a miniature DC motor as set forth in claim 1 further comprising a detecting member made of a magnetic material and provided with N projections equiangularly spaced apart from each other, is formed integral, with the core of said armature, where N is equal to an integral multiple of the number of slots in said armature.
