Abstract

The present invention provides a sensor device including a rotor, a stator disposed outside the rotor, and a sensor module disposed outside the stator, wherein the rotor includes a sleeve and a magnet coupled to the sleeve, the magnet is disposed inside the sleeve, and the sleeve includes a fixing part which protrudes from a lower end of the sleeve and is in contact with the magnet, thereby providing an advantageous effect of increasing a coupling force between the magnet of the rotor and a yoke.

Claims (28)

1. A sensor device comprising:

a rotor;

a stator disposed outside the rotor; and

a sensor module disposed outside the stator,

wherein the rotor includes a sleeve and a magnet coupled to the sleeve, the magnet is disposed inside the sleeve, and the sleeve includes a fixing part which protrudes from a lower end of the sleeve and is in contact with the magnet,

wherein the sleeve includes a first body, a second body, and a third body,

wherein the second body connects the first body and the third body and has a shape of a step surface horizontally,

wherein an inner diameter of the third body is greater than that of the first body,

wherein an inner diameter of the magnet is greater than or equal to that of the first body,

wherein the second body is disposed to cover an upper surface of the magnet, the third body is disposed to cover an outer circumferential surface of the magnet,

wherein the inner surface of the first body contacts a shaft, and

wherein the magnet is disposed between the shaft and the third body.

2. The sensor device of claim 1 , wherein:

the fixed part is in contact with at least a part of the lower surface of the magnet.

3. The sensor device of claim 1 , wherein the inner surface of the second body and the upper surface of the magnet are in contact with each other.

4. The sensor device of claim 1 , wherein the third body is in contact with an outer circumferential surface of the magnet.

5. The sensor device of claim 1 , wherein the fixing part protrudes from a lower end of the third body.

6. The sensor device of claim 5 , wherein:

the magnet includes a groove concavely formed on a lower surface of the magnet; and

the fixing part is coupled to the groove by caulking.

7. The sensor device of claim 6 , wherein:

the groove includes an inner circumferential surface having an inner diameter which is greater than that of the magnet; and

the fixing part is coupled to the inner circumferential surface by caulking.

8. The sensor device of claim 5 , wherein:

the fixing part includes a plurality of fixing parts; and

the plurality of the fixing parts are symmetrically disposed about a center of the sleeve.

9. The sensor device of claim 1 , wherein the second body includes a hole.

10. The sensor device of claim 1 , wherein the second body includes a serration in which a concave shape and a convex shape are repeated on an upper surface of the second body and which is engaged with an external device.
