Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily detect the abnormal fixing of a permanent magnet or the like in a magnetic sensor by providing an acoustic coupler and the like, thereby detecting a feeble signal without being disturbed by noise. CONSTITUTION:A detected body is brought into contact with the upper end of an acoustic coupler 7, approximately at the center of the magnetic poles of an electromagnet 5 to measure the vibrational sound. In this way, the vibrational sound can be collected stably lowering the ambient noise level. A microphone 8 outputs this vibrational sound as signals to a BPF 3 through an amplifier 2. The BPF 3 provided with the desired center frequency lets the signals pass selectively to secure an SN ratio, and sends them to an oscilloscope 4 for display. Accordingly, the generation of feeble abnormal sound can be also detected stably without the disturbance of ambient noise in the manufacturing process and the like so as to enable the easy discrimination of a magnetic sensor with a permanent magnet or the like being fixed abnormally.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, this type of abnormality is only discovered after the magnetic sensor is installed on the board and the mechanical system is operated, and it has been difficult to determine this during the normal process of manufacturing the magnetic sensor. In order to determine this in advance and remove abnormal products, when placing a magnetic sensor in an alternating magnetic field and inspecting whether the permanent magnet generates an abnormal sound, the abnormal sound generated is weak and difficult to distinguish.

FIG. 1 shows the configuration of this embodiment, which includes a detector 1, an amplifier 2, a bandpass filter 3, and an oscilloscope 4. The detector 1 includes an electromagnet 5 for generating an alternating magnetic field, a power source 6 for the electromagnet 5, an acoustic coupler 7, and a microphone 8. A cored type electromagnet 5 is used as shown in the figure, and a 60 (Hz) commercial power source is used as the power source 6 to generate a magnetic field of 200 (Oe) between the magnetic poles. A vinyl chloride tube is used for the acoustic coupler 7, and the outer circumference of the microphone 8 is fitted and fixed to the inner circumference of the tube. Then, the height of the tip of the acoustic coupler 7 is adjusted so that the magnetic sensor, which is the object to be tested, is located approximately at the center of the magnetic pole of the electromagnet 5. The bandpass filter 3 has a center frequency of 3 KHz and a 12 dB/OCT filter characteristic. The oscilloscope 4 synchronizes the signal by applying an external trigger at 60 Hz.

Using the magnetic sensor testing device having the above configuration, when the vibration sound generated by pressing the magnetic sensor lightly against the opening at the upper end of the acoustic coupler 7 is measured, the result is as shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 2, 1 to 3 peaks were observed on the oscilloscope 4 for abnormal products that emitted vibration sounds. When the noise level of the surrounding environment changes, the bright line level on the oscilloscope 4 changes, but the peak waveform can be reproduced without being distorted, making it sufficiently practical for inspection under noisy conditions. Furthermore, even in a quiet environment, this embodiment allows the oscilloscope 4 to recognize abnormal sounds that emit vibrations that are so weak that they cannot be detected in a sensory test in which the ear is brought close to the magnetic sensor. It was confirmed that the detection sensitivity was sufficient and the reproducibility was excellent.

Next, the reason for the configuration in which the acoustic coupler 7 is provided will be described. FIG. 3 shows the vibration sound emitted by the magnetic sensor in the present embodiment shown in FIG.
This shows the results of collecting sound and analyzing its frequency characteristics with a spectrum analyzer. When sound is collected using the acoustic coupler 7, peaks can be seen in the continuous spectrum at the power frequency of the electromagnet 5 and its multiplied frequency, but when the acoustic coupler 7 is not used, the peaks are simply observed between the microphone 8 and the magnetic sensor. S/N depending on spacing and surrounding noise level
The ratio will be determined, and the level of the peak will also become unstable. Therefore, by using the acoustic coupler 7, it is possible to reduce the noise level from the surroundings and stably detect the vibration noise generated by the MR sensor.

Looking at the spectrum in FIG. 3, the level of both the continuous spectrum and the peak height decreases as the frequency increases, but when looking at the level ratio between the continuous spectrum and the peak for each frequency, the level decreases as the frequency increases. It will continue to improve. A signal with such characteristics can be directly transmitted to the oscilloscope 4.
, the vibration sound emitted from the magnetic sensor cannot be confirmed because it is hidden behind the noise signal of 100 Hz or less, which has a high sound pressure level. Therefore, as in this embodiment, the S/N ratio is ensured by selectively passing the signal through a band pass filter 4 whose center value is set to the frequency of the peak.

[0014] In order to improve the accuracy of determining abnormal noise occurrence and work efficiency, if a trigger is externally applied to the oscilloscope 4 at the frequency of the power supply 6 and the detection signal is monitored by synchronizing the sweep speed, it is possible to detect noise from the surrounding environment. Even when regular noise is emitted, the sound pressure peak of the vibration sound emitted from the magnetic sensor is displayed at a fixed position on the oscilloscope 4, making it easy to judge.

Further, in this embodiment, a cored type electromagnet is used as the electromagnet 5, but the electromagnet is not limited to this, and a coil as shown in FIG. 4 may be used as long as it can generate an alternating magnetic field. Furthermore, although a cylindrical acoustic coupler 7 was used in the embodiment, this shape is also the same, and is capable of blocking ambient air vibration and selectively collecting vibration sounds emitted from the target object. Any shape is acceptable.
