Abstract

A rotating axis of a first driven gear provided with a magnet and a rotating axis of a second driven gear provided with a magnet are orthogonalized with respect to a plane which includes a rotating axis of a rotor having a first gear and a second gear each with a different number of teeth concentrically provided for a flanged gear forming section.

Claims (11)

1. A multi-rotation angle detection device comprising:

a rotor having a first gear and a second gear each with a different number of teeth, which are concentrically provided for a flanged gear forming section;

a first driven gear having a first rotating axis orthogonalized to a plane including a rotating axis of the rotor, and engaged with the first gear;

a second driven gear having a second rotating axis orthogonalized to the plane, and engaged with the second gear;

a first magnet attached to the first driven gear;

a second magnet attached to the second driven gear;

a circuit substrate having the first driven gear and the second driven gear;

a first magnetic detection element disposed at a position opposited the first magnet above the circuit substrate;

a second magnetic detection element disposed at a position opposited the second magnet above the circuit substrate; and

a housing storing the rotor, the first driven gear, the second driven gear, the first magnet, the second magnet, the circuit substrate, the first magnetic detection element, and the second magnetic detection element.

2. The multi-rotation angle detection device according to claim 1 , wherein the first gear and the second gear disposed at a lower surface side of the circuit substrate.
