Abstract
An odometer is provided for distance measurement in an inspection and/or cleaning device. The odometer includes a carrier provided for rolling on a surface, and which is arranged in a holder of the odometer so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation. The carrier has a multiplicity of magnets arranged circumferentially around the axis of rotation. The odometer also includes a magnetic field sensor for generating signals produced through rotation of the magnets of the carriers.
Claims17
An odometer for distance measurement in an inspection and/or cleaning device, the odometer comprising:
- a carrier for rolling on a surface of a magnetizable wall, the carrier being arranged in a holder of the odometer so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation formed during operation, the carrier having a plurality of magnets arranged circumferentially around the axis of rotation;
- and
- a magnetic field sensor generating signals produced through rotation of the magnets, wherein the carrier generates a closed magnetic circuit with a respective magnet and the magnetizable wall,
- wherein the magnetic field strength of at least one of the magnets at an outer circumference of the carrier in the air and away from the wall is a maximum of 500 kA/m.
