The present invention relates to the field of smart lock technology, specifically a smart lock knob position detection device, comprising Hall effect sensors equidistantly placed around an semicircular opening of a printed circuit board, wherein inside the semicircular opening of the printed circuit board is provided a lower end portion of a rotary shaft, on the rotary shaft are provided magnets, and positive projection of the at least one magnet is located on a circumference formed by the Hall effect sensors, so that when the rotary shaft rotates to a position above the Hall effect sensors, the at least one magnet is directly above the Hall effect sensors. The present invention utilizes the Hall effect to achieve dynamic detection of smart lock knobs and realizes frequency conversion energy saving; meanwhile, the present invention offers a large detection range and long operational time, thereby enhancing the high-precision detection of positions of smart lock knobs, improves product performance, features a simple structure that is not easily damaged, and is suitable for long-term use.
A device for detecting position of a rotary shaft for a smart lock knob, comprising at least one magnet (1), Hall effect sensors (2), a rotary shaft (3) and a printed circuit board (4), wherein the Hall effect sensors (2) are equidistantly placed around a semicircular opening of the printed circuit board (4), inside the semicircular opening of the printed circuit board (4) is provided a lower end portion of the rotary shaft (3), on the rotary shaft (3) is provided the at least one magnet (1), and a positive projection of the at least one magnet (1) is located on a circumference formed by the Hall effect sensors (2), so that when the rotary shaft (3) rotates to change a position of the at least one magnet (1) by moving the at least one magnet (1) above the Hall effect sensors (2), voltage is generated due to Hall effects and is captured by the Hall effect sensors (2), and the voltage is transmitted to the printed circuit board (4).
