Disposed on a motor housing along the direction of a motor shaft is a hollow cavity formed by a ring-shaped protrusion; contained in the hollow cavity is a fixed guiding slip ring; the fixed guiding slip ring dynamically matches with a floating sensor ring assembly having ratchet teeth and a magnetic steel piece; the ratchet teeth of a flywheel mating with the cogging distributed in a ring shape in a sensor ring having ratchet teeth; disposed on the motor shaft is a Hall element, the magnetic steel piece cooperating with the Hall element by means of magnetic induction, thereby outputting an electric signal to control a vehicle to enhance the force for rotation. For this motor, all Hall elements are disposed on the motor's housing, thereby solving the conflict between functional configurations and limited accommodation, and enabling significant magnetic induction effects. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An integrated container-type torque-driven electric sensor for a vehicle motor, comprising a motor shaft and a motor casing disposed on the motor shaft, the motor shaft being provided with a flywheel for driving, the motor casing having a ring-shaped protrusion around the motor shaft to form a hollow cavity, the hollow cavity being to accommodate a fixed guiding slip ring, the fixed guiding slip ring movably cooperating with a floating ratchet sensor ring assembly provided with a magnetic steel piece, the floating ratchet sensor ring assembly comprising a ratchet sensor ring, the flywheel having ratchet teeth to match with an annular toothed trough disposed in the ratchet sensor ring, the motor shaft being provided with a Hall element, the magnetic steel piece disposed on the floating ratchet sensor ring assembly cooperating with the Hall element by means of magnetic induction, thereby outputting an electric signal to control the motor of a vehicle and to increase power for rotation. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The integrated container-type torque-driven electric sensor for a vehicle motor as claimed in claim 1, wherein a bottom of an inner wall of the fixed guiding slip ring has a plurality of inclined recesses and balls which are equally arranged circumferentially, a bottom of the ratchet sensor ring is located on the balls, when the ratchet sensor ring is driven by a tangential force, the ratchet sensor ring brings the balls to roll back and forth on inclined surfaces of the inclined recesses. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The integrated container-type torque-driven electric sensor for a vehicle motor as claimed in claim 1, wherein the ratchet sensor ring is formed with a plurality of installation troughs which are equally arranged circumferentially. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The integrated container-type torque-driven electric sensor for a vehicle motor as claimed in claim 1, wherein the floating ratchet sensor ring assembly comprises the ratchet sensor ring, an elastic return member cooperating with the ratchet sensor ring, and an end cap rotatably connected with the fixed guiding slip ring, after the elastic return member is positioned on the ratchet sensor ring, the end cap is configured to limit the elastic return member and the ratchet sensor ring on the fixed guiding slip ring. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The integrated container-type torque-driven electric sensor for a vehicle motor as claimed in claim 4, wherein a bottom of an inner wall of the fixed guiding slip ring has a plurality of inclined recesses and balls which are equally arranged circumferentially, a bottom of the ratchet sensor ring is located on the balls, when the ratchet sensor ring is driven by a tangential force, the ratchet sensor ring brings the balls to roll back and forth on inclined surfaces of the inclined recesses. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The integrated container-type torque-driven electric sensor for a vehicle motor as claimed in claim 4, wherein the ratchet sensor ring is formed with a plurality of installation troughs which are equally arranged circumferentially. ### Claim 7 (depends on 4) The integrated container-type torque-driven electric sensor for a vehicle motor as claimed in claim 4, wherein the elastic return member is a polyurethane soft member. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The integrated container-type torque-driven electric sensor for a vehicle motor as claimed in claim 7, wherein the polyurethane soft member has a plurality of successive gaps thereon. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The integrated container-type torque-driven electric sensor for a vehicle motor as claimed in claim 1, wherein the motor shaft has a positioning groove to accommodate the Hall element. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The integrated container-type torque-driven electric sensor for a vehicle motor as claimed in claim 1, wherein the magnetic steel piece is coaxially mounted on the ratchet sensor ring.
