ROTATION ANGLE DETECTION DEVICE

摘要

A rotation angle detection device including angle Rotary body 1 rotating in linked motion with a steering wheel; detectors 2 and 3 rotating in linked motion with rotary body 1; detecting parts 5 and 6 for detecting rotation of detectors 2 and 3; control part 21 for detecting a rotation angle of rotary body 1 from a detection signal from detecting parts 5 and 6; latching body 23 for latching the rotation of rotary body 1; and case 8 containing rotary body 1, detection parts 5 and 6, control part 21 and latching body 23. Latching body 23 includes latching part 23B urged by elastic body 24 and brought into elastic contact with an outer periphery of rotary body 1; and releasing part 23C for releasing an elastic contact of latching part 23B to rotary body 1 and a part of which is exposed to the outside of case 8.
