Abstract

An embodiment provides a sensing device comprising: a first cover; a second cover coupled with the first cover; a rotor disposed at the second cover; a first magnet disposed between the second cover and the rotor; a stator disposed between the first magnet and the second cover; a seating part disposed between the first cover and the rotor; a second magnet disposed on the seating part; a circuit board disposed on a bottom surface of the second cover; and a first hall sensor and a second hall sensor disposed on the circuit board, wherein the first cover comprises an upper plate having an opening and a side plate extending downward from the upper plate, and the side plate of the first cover comprises a first groove formed at a position corresponding to the second hall sensor and a second groove spaced apart from the first groove.

Claims (34)

1. A sensing device comprising:

a first cover;

a second cover coupled to the first cover;

a rotor disposed inside the second cover;

a first magnet disposed between the second cover and the rotor;

a stator disposed between the first magnet and the second cover;

a seating part disposed between the first cover and the rotor;

a second magnet disposed on the seating part;

a circuit board disposed on a bottom surface of the second cover; and

a first Hall sensor and a second Hall sensor disposed on the circuit board,

wherein the first cover includes an upper plate having an opening and side plates extending downward from the upper plate, and

the side plate of the first cover includes a first groove formed at a position corresponding to the second Hall sensor and second grooves spaced apart from the first groove.

2. The sensing device of claim 1 , further comprising a collector coupled to the second cover,

wherein the second grooves are disposed close to side surface ends of the collector.

3. The sensing device of claim 2 , wherein:

the second grooves are provided as two grooves, and

the collector is disposed between the two grooves in a circumferential direction of the first cover.

4. The sensing device of claim 2 , wherein the first Hall sensor is disposed between two virtual reference lines connecting a center of the first cover and both ends of the collector in a circumferential direction of the first cover.

5. The sensing device of claim 1 , wherein:

the second grooves include a second-first groove and a second-second groove, and

the second-first groove and the second-second groove are disposed close to both side ends of the collector.

6. The sensing device of claim 1 , wherein a size of the second groove is 0.2 to 0.5 times a size of the first groove.

7. The sensing device of claim 5 , wherein a width of the second-second groove in a circumferential direction is 1.5 times to 2.5 times a width of the second-first groove in the circumferential direction.

8. The sensing device of claim 7 , wherein the second-first groove is disposed to be closer to the first groove than the second-second groove.

9. The sensing device of claim 5 , wherein the second-first groove and the second-second groove are symmetrically disposed with respect to the collector.

10. The sensing device of claim 5 , wherein:

the second-first groove is disposed inside one side end of the collector in a circumferential direction, and

the second-second groove is disposed outside the one side end of the collector in the circumferential direction.

11. The sensing device of claim 1 , wherein:

the second grooves are provided as two second grooves, and

an angle between the two second grooves is 80° to 120° in a circumferential direction of the first cover.

12. The sensing device of claim 1 , wherein:

the side plate includes an outer side plate disposed outside the upper plate and an inner side plate disposed inside the upper plate, and

the first groove and the second grooves are disposed in the outer side plate.
