Abstract

PURPOSE:To enhance the effect of miniaturization when high resolution is implemented, by forming detecting slits on the inner surface of a drum shaped rotary scale, and providing a detecting part in the inside of the rotary scale. CONSTITUTION:Detecting slits 20a are formed on the inner surface of a drum shaped rotary scale at an equal interval. A detecting part 30 is composed of a fixed scale 31, a light emitting equipement 32, and a light receiving element 33. The detecting part 30 is mounted in the inside of the rotary scale 20. A rotary shaft 40 is fixed to a hub 20b of the rotary scale 20 by compression or bonding. In this constitution, since the slits can be formed by utilizing the size of the outer diameter of a rotary encoder effectively to the maximum extent, the effect of the miniaturization can be enhanced when high resolution is implemented.

By the way, since the detection sulins Ha, IIa, 110 applied on the outer circumferential surface of the disk are formed radially as shown in FIG. 2 (exaggerated), The inner end dimension 1) of the slit is smaller than the outer end -1 dimension a. The dimension C corresponds to the size V of the detection section. In general, the resolution of a low-resolution encoder is expressed by the number of slits.If the outer diameter of the rotary scale 1 is the same, the smaller the slit 1+ (i/,!; , high resolution is obtained.However, there are limits to the XJ method for slit width due to all limitations of manufacturing technology.

In this way, since the rotary scale 20 is formed into a drum shape, the detection slit 20a can have the slit inner end dimension 1] and outer end dimension a equal to each other as shown in FIG. It is possible to set the dimensions to the technical limit. Since the fixed scale roller 1, the light emitting element roller 2, and the light receiving element roller, which are the detection section O, are mounted inside the rotating scale 20, the outer diameter of the rotating scale 20 is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the rotary encoder. This means that it can be made smaller.
