Abstract

A wheel sensor device for a vehicle may include: a first sensor part having a first fixing hole, inserted into an insertion space of a knuckle of a vehicle, and configured to sense wheel speed of the vehicle; a second sensor part overlapping the first sensor part, inserted into the insertion part with the first sensor part, having a second fixing hole aligned with the first fixing hole, and configured to sense the wheel speed; and a fixing member fixed to a mounting structure of the knuckle through the first and second fixing holes.

Claims (69)

a fixing member extending through the first and second fixing holes and fixed to the mounting structure of the knuckle.

2. The wheel sensor of claim 1 , wherein the first sensor comprises:

a first flange having the first fixing hole; and

a first sensor head connected to the first flange and configured to sense the wheel speed.

3. The wheel sensor of claim 2 , wherein the second sensor comprises:

a second flange having the second fixing hole and overlapping the first flange; and

a second sensor head connected to the second flange, positioned adjacent to the first sensor head, and configured to sense the wheel speed.

4. The wheel sensor of claim 3 , wherein:

the first sensor has a first coupling part, and

the second sensor has a second coupling part coupled to the first coupling part.

5. The wheel sensor of claim 4 , wherein:

the second coupling part has a recess, and

the first coupling part has a hook protruding to engage the second coupling part.

6. A wheel sensor for a vehicle, the vehicle including a knuckle having an insertion space and a mounting structure, the wheel sensor comprising:

a first sensor having (1) a first fixing hole and (2) a portion partially occupying the insertion space of the knuckle, and configured to sense a wheel speed of the vehicle;

a second sensor overlapping the first sensor, having (1) a second fixing hole aligned with the first fixing hole and (2) a portion partially occupying the insertion space, and configured to sense the wheel speed of the vehicle;

a third sensor overlapping the first sensor, having (1) a third fixing hole aligned with the first and second fixing holes and (2) a portion partially occupying the insertion space, and configured to sense the wheel speed of the vehicle; and

a fixing member extending through the first to third fixing holes and fixed to the mounting structure of the knuckle.

7. The wheel sensor of claim 6 , wherein the first sensor comprises:

a first flange having the first fixing hole; and

a first sensor head connected to the first flange and configured to sense the wheel speed.

8. The wheel sensor of claim 7 , wherein the second sensor comprises:

a second flange having the second fixing hole; and

a second sensor head connected to the second flange, positioned on a first side the first sensor head, and configured to sense the wheel speed.

9. The wheel sensor of claim 8 , wherein the third sensor comprises:

a third flange having the third fixing hole; and

a third sensor head connected to the third flange, positioned on a second side of the first sensor head, and configured to sense the wheel speed.

10. The wheel sensor of claim 9 , wherein:
