2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, the opening of a throttle valve for controlling the amount of air supplied to an automobile engine is often driven by a motor via an electronic control unit. In this case, the throttle valve opening is detected by the throttle opening sensor and fed back to the electronic control unit.

Since the throttle valve driven by this electronic control device operates more frequently than the conventional throttle valve mechanically linked to the accelerator pedal, it is inevitably durable to the throttle opening sensor. Sex will be required. Therefore, as a throttle opening sensor with improved durability, a sensor that detects the opening in a non-contact manner has been proposed. One of them is to detect the rotation angle of a permanent magnet that rotates by linking with a throttle valve by a magnetoresistive element. A non-contact throttle opening sensor has been proposed.

However, in the non-contact throttle opening sensor of the above type, when the rotating magnetic field is detected only by the magnetoresistive element, the resistance change of the magnetoresistive element becomes sinusoidal. Therefore, it is necessary to install a bias magnet so as to overlap the magnetoresistive element and to ensure the linearity of the detection characteristic by forming a bridge with the magnetoresistive element.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the detection characteristics of the above-mentioned non-contact throttle opening sensor, in which the horizontal axis represents the rotation angle of the rotor magnet and the vertical axis represents the bridge voltage. That is, if there is no bias magnet, the bridge voltage becomes a sine wave as shown by the broken line, but by installing a bias magnet the peak voltage generation angle is biased in the 0 ° or 180 ° direction and the characteristics of the central part are linear. It is possible to make a shape.

To achieve this, it is necessary to adjust the balance of the bridge formed by the magnetoresistive element. Therefore, not only an error in the positional relationship among the permanent magnet, the bias magnet, and the magnetoresistive element appears as a detection error, but also it is difficult to adjust the detection characteristics.
