Actuator and exhaust valve driving device
An actuator 1 includes a housing 2 , an output shaft 3 projecting from the inside of the housing 2 to the outside, a motor 4 provided in the housing 2 , a reduction mechanism 5 which connects the motor 4 to the output shaft 3 , a magnet 61 provided for rotation integrally with the output shaft 3 inside the housing 2 , a Hall effect IC 62 disposed to face the magnet 61 outside the rotation locus of the magnet 61 , and a circumferential wall 25 disposed to stand from the inner wall of the housing 2 and interposed between the magnet 61 and the Hall effect IC 62.
1. An actuator comprising:
a housing;
an output shaft, which is provided to protrude from an inside of the housing to an outside of the housing;
a power source, which is provided inside the housing;
a reduction mechanism, with which the power source and the output shaft are connected;
a magnet, which is provided inside the housing so as to rotate integrally with the output shaft;
a Hall element, which is disposed to face the magnet on an outside of a rotation locus of the magnet;
a circumferential wall, which is disposed to stand from an inner wall of the housing and is interposed between the magnet and the Hall element;
an accommodating portion, which is formed from an outer peripheral surface of the circumferential wall to a rotation center side of the magnet and accommodates the Hall element; and
two pillars provided to stand from the inner wall of the housing at a position facing the accommodating portion on an outer side in a radial direction of the an outer side in a radial direction of the circumferential wall,
wherein the Hall element has a main body portion and three feet extending in a same direction from the main body portion, and
the main body portion of the Hall element is accommodated in the accommodating portion and only a middle foot among the three feet of the Hall element passes between the two pillars and the other two feet among the three feet of the Hall element are respectively situated on outer sides of the two pillars.
2. The actuator according to claim 1 ,
wherein the circumferential wall is a cylindrical wall which is like a concentric circle with the rotation locus of the magnet.
3. An exhaust valve driving device system comprising:
the actuator according to claim the actuator according to claim 1 ; and
an exhaust valve, which is connected to the output shaft and provided in an exhaust passage of an internal combustion engine.
